"text": "What is 'Concession'A concession is a selling group's compensation in a stock or bond underwriting agreement. The calculation of compensation is the difference between what the public pays for the securities and what the issuing company receives from the sale based on a per-share of per-bond basis. Included in the underwriting spread is the management fee, selling concession, and underwriter's compensation. Next Up Gross Spread Underwriting Agreement Transferable Underwriting Facility ... Bond Purchase Agreement BREAKING DOWN 'Concession'When a publicly traded company wishes to raise capital by issuing stocks or bonds, it hires an investment bank to act as an underwriter and handle the transaction. The underwriter receives compensation for the securities it sells. An underwriter is not always responsible for the securities it does not sell, as outlined in the underwriting agreement. Concessions can be involved in a variety of other transactions based on adjustments to the price in a trade. Adjustments can include changes to the purchase price due to inaccurate valuation and compensation to a third party involved in administering the transaction. Market changes and faulty data may cause inaccurate valuation. Concession Agreement A concession agreement will become part of the deal when concessions are a necessary part of the transaction."

"text": "\"Travel Cruise Travel What does 'duty free' shopping mean? I'm going on a cruise in May and I have seen on several websites and in brochures, the term \"\"duty free\"\". Does anyone know what this means?1 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: One does not pay the usual taxes associated with trade in that country. However, upon your return to your home country you must declare the items and will pay tax if it is over the allowable import limit. The only way you will benefit from it is if the carrier is inbound to your home country, then it is duty free upon destination. Bareasskmeagain · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Be careful with the so called Duty Free shops on ships. Depends a lot on the itineraries that you are sailing. I´ve worked for both large concessions that explore the shops on ships and most products are not really duty free. It makes a huge diference in products that are higly taxed such as Licor, Cigarettes, Tobacco, but perfumes are no longer Duty Free, neither are jewellery, watches and all the crap they sell with a 200% mark up. And in some destinations the shops are NOT duty free, even though they advertise in the bags and even in the shop windows as being so."

"text": "Analysis of Adjustments Fannie Mae does not have specific limitations or guidelines associated with net or gross adjustments. The number and/or amount of the dollar adjustments must not be the sole determinant in the acceptability of a comparable. Ideally, the best and most appropriate comparable would require no adjustment; however this is rarely the case as typically no two properties or transaction details are identical. The appraiser’s adjustments must reflect the market’s reaction (that is, market based adjustments) to the difference in the properties. For example, it would be inappropriate for an appraiser to provide a $20 per square foot adjustment for the difference in the gross living area based on a rule-of-thumb when market analysis indicates the adjustment should be $100 per square foot. The expectation is for the appraiser to analyze the market for competitive properties and provide appropriate market based adjustments without regard to arbitrary limits on the size of the adjustment. If the extent of the appraiser’s adjustments to the comparable sales is great enough to indicate that the property may not conform to the neighborhood, the underwriter must determine if the opinion of value is adequately supported. ( For further information regarding comparable selection, see B4-1.3-08, Comparable Sales . ) When there are no truly comparable sales for a particular property because of the uniqueness of the property or other conditions, the appraiser must select sales that represent the best indicators of value for the subject property and make adjustments to reflect the actions of typical purchasers in that market. Sales or Financing Concessions Comparable sales that include sales or financing concessions must be adjusted to reflect the impact, if any, on the sales price of the comparables based on the market at the time of sale."

"text": "\"Questions and Answers about Concessions What are concessions? Concessions are private businesses operating under contract in state parks to provide products and services designed to enhance or facilitate the park visitor’s experience. Typically, concessionaire services are not provided by State employees. What type of concessions does State Parks have? Concessions range from small-scale, seasonal services, such as mobile food carts, to large-scale, year-round operations, such as marinas and lodging. Concessions include full-service restaurants, snack bars, mobile food services, retail sales, camp stores, lodges, golf courses, marinas, aquatic services, equestrian tours, theaters, and educational programs and demonstrations. How many concessions exist in the state park system? In fiscal year 2014-15, the Department held 201 concession contracts. In addition, the Department held 57 operating agreements with local government agencies and non-profit organizations for the operation of partial or full state park units. Local operating agencies may also enter into concession contracts with the Department's approval."

"text": "Concession Definition of Concession Concession is a literary device used in argumentative writing, where one acknowledges a point made by one’s opponent. It allows for different opinions and approaches toward an issue, indicating an understanding of what causes the actual debate or controversy. It demonstrates that the writer is a mature thinker, and has considered the issue from all angles. Concession writing style also shows that the writer is a logical and fair-minded person, able to realize that every argument has several sides to consider before it is presented. This type of writing can be considered strong as it finds common ground between the writer and his opponent. Concession Examples Example #1:“Dad, I know taking a trip to another country with my friends may be expensive and unsafe, but I have studied so hard the past year and I think I deserve a vacation. You already know how responsible I have been all my life; I don’t think there will be any problem. ”The above statement is an example of concession writing. It demonstrates the negative aspects of traveling as a young group of boys, but argues against this with the fact that this particular boy has always been a responsible person and is not likely to get into trouble. Example #2:“I agree that many students act and lie about being sick, so that they can avoid school for whatever reason."

Negotiation comes from the Latin neg (no) and otsia (leisure) referring to businessmen who, unlike the patricians, had no leisure time in their industriousness; it held the meaning of business (le négoce in French) until the 17th century when it took on the diplomatic connotation as a dialogue between two or more people or parties intended to reach a beneficial outcome over one or more issues where a conflict exists with respect to at least one of these issues. [ 1] [2] Thus, negotiation is a process of combining divergent positions into a joint agreement under a decision rule of unanimity. It is aimed to resolve points of difference, to gain advantage for an individual or collective, or to craft outcomes to satisfy various interests. It is often conducted by putting forward a position and making concessions to achieve an agreement. The degree to which the negotiating parties trust each other to implement the negotiated solution is a major factor in determining whether negotiations are successful."

"text": "\"Interested Party Contributions: Getting The Home Seller To Pay Your Mortgage Closing Costs The Seller Can Pay Up To 9% Of Your Costs The U. S. housing market is expanding. Fueled by low mortgage rates and the rising cost of rent, home sales are at decade-best levels and values have eclipsed last decade's peak. Plus, with an abundance of low- and no-downpayment mortgages; and the return of piggyback lending, there are fewer obstacles to homeownership for first-time and repeat buyers. When you buy a home, though, you pay for more than just the house -- there are closing costs to consider. According to Bankrate.com's annual Closing Cost Survey, closing costs are down 7 percent as compared to last year; but, costs can still be quite high -- especially if you're finding yourself tight on cash for a down payment. The good news is that, as a home buyer, your contract can stipulate that the seller of the home pay for any and all closing costs such that your closing cost obligation drops to zero. The arrangement is known as \"\"Seller Concessions\"\" and it's commonplace in today's home purchase contracts. Don't want to pay closing costs? Ask the seller to pay them on your behalf.

"text": "\"John Moore/Getty Images News/Getty Images What Does Hillary Clinton’s Purple Suit Mean? Her Concession Speech Outfit Was Symbolic By Alana Romain Nov 9 2016Share Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered her concession speech in New York Wednesday morning, and for the millions of Americans who voted for her, it was a difficult one to hear. Despite the obvious heartbreak felt by everyone in the room, Clinton tried to offer hope, strength, and an important message of unity and optimism to anyone feeling afraid of what might happen moving forward under a Trump presidency. But she didn't just use her words to do it. What does Hillary Clinton's purple suit mean? Just like wearing white became an important symbol leading up to the election, her purple suit was likely also a meaningful sartorial choice. When Clinton accepted her party's nomination at the Democratic National Convention back in July, she did so wearing a white pantsuit that was considered to be an important nod to the suffragist movement, according to TIME. And that, of course, seemed entirely fitting: after all, not only did the movement help to give women the right to vote, it also ultimately made it possible for Clinton, the first female nominee of a major political party, to run for president, almost a century after the ratification of the 19th Amendment. According to The New York Times, white, purple, and gold were the official colors of the National Women's Party, which fought for women's suffrage in the United States. According to an early mission statement for the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (from which the National Women's Party was born), the colors were specifically \"\"selected for the significance they bear in the work the union has undertaken.\"\""

Wouldn't they make more money if they lowered the price because, presumably, many more people would purchase it for $4 instead of $7?- Basil Utter, Maryland This is a question with some easy answers and some surprisingly complicated ones. First the easy — and incomplete — answer... Because they can. This is what we all intuitively assume, that theaters are shooting fish in a barrel by charging high prices to a captive audience. “They’re basically in a monopoly selling position,” says Russell Winer, chair of the marketing department at NYU’s Stern School of Business. “ Since they don’t allow you, theoretically, to bring food into theaters, they can pretty much charge what they feel the market will bear. ”Indeed, they do. In theory, they will charge a price for popcorn where the spread between what it costs them to make another box of popcorn, and what consumers will pay for that box of popcorn is at its highest level ."

"text": "\"FNMA APPRAISAL GUIDELINES Selling Part VII - Property and Appraisal Analysis This Part--Property and Appraisal Analysis--details our general requirements for analyzing the property appraisal aspects of conventional mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties and VA mortgages secured by two- to four-family properties. It also discusses special considerations for certain types of housing--units in condominium and PUD projects; properties affected by environmental hazards or substances; manufactured (and factory-built) housing units; energy-efficient housing; mixed-use properties; units in cooperative projects; and properties located in special assessment or community facilities districts--that merit special consideration in the property and appraisal review. Because the evaluation of a property is such a vital part of the risk analysis, we expect lenders to place as much emphasis on underwriting the property and reviewing the appraisal as they do on underwriting the borrower's creditworthiness. Fannie Mae holds the lender responsible for the accuracy of both the appraisal and its assessment of the marketability of the property; therefore, it is important for a lender's underwriters to understand their role in the appraisal process and their relationship to the appraiser. . The appraiser's role is to provide the lender with an accurate, and adequately supported, estimate of value and a complete, accurate description of the property. . The underwriter's role is to review the appraisal report to assure that it is of professional quality and is prepared in a way that is consistent with our appraisal standards, to analyze the property based on the appraisal, and to judge the property's acceptability as security for the mortgage requested in view of its value and marketability. We require appraisers to provide complete and accurate reports. The estimate of market value must represent the appraiser's professional conclusion, based on market data, logical analysis, and judgment. When the information or methodology of an appraisal requires additional clarification or justification, the lender's underwriter must obtain from the appraiser any information that is necessary to make an informed decision concerning the property. These requirements are intended to provide guidance to underwriters and appraisers as to the type of information that is needed to make a prudent underwriting decision."

Is there a connection? No. There’s no natural reason to trot out the insatiable lithium demand narrative yet again, is there? Well, no, but I will anyway. 2016 was a remarkable year for natural resource investors, almost everyone had a thrilling ride. Lithium stocks were very strong until July, then cooled off through October. Even coal stocks flourished! Gold & silver had huge runs, but ran out of steam in August. Uranium was a complete dud, until all of a sudden, in November, it wasn’t."

Lomangino Antonio Yagüe Subscribe 19KAdd to Share More78,347 views31128Published on Jun 28, 2014On June 18, 2014 died in New York Joey Lomangino. It was a blind man who had visited San Sebastian de Garabandal during the time of the apparitions, after having requested counsel from St. Pio of Pietrelcina. His blindness came from an accident that left him without eyes. Some time after his visit to Garabandal, Conchita, one of the four seers wrote him to say that the Virgin had told her that the day of the great Miracle he will have new eyes. This data has been used to speculate on the proximity of the Great Miracle date, because of the advanced age of Joey Lomangino. The fact of his death has triggered a large number of questions, but one in particular: are the Garabandal apparitions real? And within it many questioned the reality of future large events prophesied there and specially the Warning, Miracle and Punishment. This video and their presentation that could be downloaded from http://www.slideshare.net/sedes333/14... gives answer to that question, deeping into the meaning of existing information about the great Miracle of Garabandal. The conclusion is that it is easy to interpret the prophecies of Garabandal. The most difficult thing is to believe in what they present us."

Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world though we can’t explain them; people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.” - Picasso The Beginning, Childhood and Youth: 1881-1901Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born on October 25, 1881 to Don José Ruiz Blasco (1838-1939) and Doña Maria Picasso y Lopez (1855-1939). The family at the time resided in Málaga, Spain, where Don José, a painter himself, taught drawing at the local school of Fine Arts and Crafts. Pablo spent the first ten years of his life there. The family was far from rich, and when 2 other children were born -- Dolorès (\"\"Lola\"\") in 1884 and Concepción (\"\"Conchita\"\") in 1887 -- it was often difficult to make ends meet."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-concomitant-drugs.htm\nWhat Are Concomitant Drugs?",
"text": "\"Concomitant drugs refer to two or more drugs or medications taken at the same time. The time frame that constitutes the same time varies according to desired effect of the drug, the half-life of each drug administered, the metabolism of each drug, the excretion of each drug and the side effects of each drug individually and collectively. For instance, chemotherapy is often cited as a prime example of therapeutic concomitant drugs whereby two or more medications are administered literally at the same time for the sake of the patient's health. Yet, another example of concomitant drugs could be tetracycline antibiotics taken with supplemental calcium, where the calcium is taken just once in the morning and the antibiotic is administered every 6 hours until completed. In addition showing how in this case, \"\"the same time\"\" means \"\"same day,\"\" this example illustrates one of the negative effects of drugs taken concomitantly — side effects that occur in combination — as concomitant calcium use decreases the effectiveness of the antibiotics. Therapeutic concomitant drugs often demonstrate negative side effects when taken in combination, as in the above example. For this reason, doctors often ask patients what medications they are regularly taking with every office appointment, and pharmacists carefully monitor patients' drug regimes. Pharmaceutical companies continue to collect data on reported side effects of the medications they manufacture long after approval testing is complete. An integral aspect of the information they continue to collect is the other drugs a patient takes in addition to their own medication. Over time, this information can reveal combined side effects from concomitant drugs."

"text": "Drug Description Find Lowest Prices on RYTHMOL (propafenone hydrochloride) Tablets WARNINGMORTALITYIn the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), a long-term, multi-center, randomized, double-blind study in patients with asymptomatic non-life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who had a myocardial infarction more than 6 days but less than 2 years previously, an increased rate of death or reversed cardiac arrest rate (7.7%; 56/730) was seen in patients treated with encainide or flecainide (Class IC antiarrhythmics) compared with that seen in patients assigned to placebo (3.0%; 22/725). The average duration of treatment with encainide or flecainide in this study was 10 months. The applicability of the CAST results to other populations (e.g., those without recent myocardial infarction) or other antiarrhythmic drugs is uncertain, but at present, it is prudent to consider any IC antiarrhythmic to have a significant proarrhythmic risk in patients with structural heart disease. Given the lack of any evidence that these drugs improve survival, antiarrhythmic agents should generally be avoided in patients with non-life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, even if the patients are experiencing unpleasant, but not life-threatening, symptoms or signs. DESCRIPTIONRYTHMOL (propafenone hydrochloride) is an antiarrhythmic drug supplied in scored, film-coated tablets of 150 and 225 mg for oral administration. Propafenone has some structural similarities to beta-blocking agents. Chemically, propafenone hydrochloride (HCl) is 2'- [2-Hydroxy-3- (propylamino)- propoxy]-3-phenylpropiophenone hydrochloride, with a molecular weight of 377.92. The molecular formula is C 21 H 27 NO 3 •HCl. The structural formula of propafenone HCl is given below: Propafenone HCl occurs as colorless crystals or white crystalline powder with a very bitter taste.

Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of such drugs in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on Savella should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Savella is not approved for use in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Savella is not approved for use in pediatric patients [see INDICATIONS AND USAGE, WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Use in Specific Populations ].

In some cases, where this was not recognized promptly and treated effectively, death or hypoxic encephalopathy has resulted. Intravenous midazolam should be used only in hospital or ambulatory care settings, including physicians' and dental offices, that provide for continuous monitoring of respiratory and cardiac function, ie, pulse oximetry. Immediate availability of resuscitative drugs and age- and size-appropriate equipment for bag/valve/mask ventilation and intubation, and personnel trained in their use and skilled in airway management should be assured (see WARNINGS ). For deeply sedated pediatric patients, a dedicated individual, other than the practitioner performing the procedure, should monitor the patient throughout the procedure. The initial intravenous dose for sedation in adult patients may be as little as 1 mg, but should not exceed 2.5 mg in a normal healthy adult. Lower doses are necessary for older (over 60 years) or debilitated patients and in patients receiving concomitant narcotics or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants. The initial dose and all subsequent doses should always be titrated slowly; administer over at least 2 minutes and allow an additional 2 or more minutes to fully evaluate the sedative effect. The use of the 1 mg/m L formulation or dilution of the 1 mg/m L or 5 mg/m L formulation is recommended to facilitate slower injection. Doses of sedative medications in pediatric patients must be calculated on a mg/kg basis, and initial doses and all subsequent doses should always be titrated slowly."

The incidence of these rashes, which have included Stevens-Johnson syndrome, is approximately 0.8% (8 per 1,000) in pediatric patients (aged 2 to 16 years) receiving LAMICTAL as adjunctive therapy for epilepsy and 0.3% (3 per 1,000) in adults on adjunctive therapy for epilepsy. In clinical trials of bipolar and other mood disorders, the rate of serious rash was 0.08% (0.8 per 1,000) in adult patients receiving LAMICTAL as initial monotherapy and 0.13% (1.3 per 1,000) in adult patients receiving LAMICTAL as adjunctive therapy. In a prospectively followed cohort of 1,983 pediatric patients (aged 2 to 16 years) with epilepsy taking adjunctive LAMICTAL, there was 1 rash-related death. In worldwide postmarketing experience, rare cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis and/or rash-related death have been reported in adult and pediatric patients, but their numbers are too few to permit a precise estimate of the rate. Other than age, there are as yet no factors identified that are known to predict the risk of occurrence or the severity of rash caused by LAMICTAL. There are suggestions, yet to be proven, that the risk of rash may also be increased by (1) coadministration of LAMICTAL with valproate (includes valproic acid and divalproex sodium), (2) exceeding the recommended initial dose of LAMICTAL, or (3) exceeding the recommended dose escalation for LAMICTAL. However, cases have occurred in the absence of these factors. Nearly all cases of life-threatening rashes caused by LAMICTAL have occurred within 2 to 8 weeks of treatment initiation. However, isolated cases have occurred after prolonged treatment (e.g., 6 months)."

How to Insulate a Basement Wall If you want to avoid moisture problems and mold, choose your insulation materials carefully Posted on Jun 29 2012 by Martin Holladay Image 1 of 5The interior of a basement wall can be insulated with rigid foam or closed-cell spray foam. Here at GBA, we regularly receive questions from readers about the best way to insulate a basement wall. Since these questions pop up frequently, it’s time to pull together as much information as possible on this topic. In this article, I’ll try to explain everything you always wanted to know about insulating basement walls. Is it worth insulating a basement wall? If you live in Climate Zone 3 or anywhere colder, it’s cost-effective and wise to install basement wall insulation. This advice applies to those who live in most of New Mexico and most of Alabama, as well as all of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and South Carolina, and anywhere colder than these states. ( Click here to see a climate zone map. ) Canadian researchers who studied basement insulation methods and costs in five Canadian locations (Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Edmonton and Victoria) concluded that “for all types and sizes of basements assessed in this study, the lowest total life-cycle cost was associated with basements insulated internally, full-height to a nominal level of R-20.”How much money will basement insulation save you annually?"

Flag How much does a square foot of concrete 4 thick weigh? Answer by Luptonma Confidence votes 244Short Answer: About 50 lbs per foot square by 4\"\" slab Detailed Calculation: A number of references online give the density of concrete as 2400 Kg/m^3 which is about the density of solid limestone often used as the agregate in concrete. Given that there are exactly 2.20462262 lbs per kilogram and 39.3700787 inches per meter that works out to about 0.0867 lbs per cubic inch. Assuming you meant a 12\"\" by 12\"\" by 4\"\" slab that is 576 cubic inches times .0867 which works out to 49.94 lbs per 12\"\" x 12\"\" x 4\"\" slab So in the future it should be easy to remember that a square foot of concrete that is four inches thick weighs about 50 pounds. Keep in mind that different types of concrete may vary in density depending on the type of cement used, amount of water, type and size of aggregate mixed in how much sand etc. Fortunately most type of stone and sand used for concrete are pretty close in density and the excess water in the mix will evaporate. So 50 pounds per square foot 4\"\" deep is probably a good estimate in most cases as long as there isn't a lot of steel reinforcing bar or wire embedded in the concrete. Steel is about three times as dense as stone.6 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Does he have to replace it with more concrete? Posted on May 5 2014 by Scott Gibson Strong, reliable, and maybe not so green. Concrete is the default material for basement slabs, but the cement that's used as the binder in concrete is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. That has one reader wondering about other options. Rob Rosen is diving into a basement remodel, a job that involves digging out and removing a concrete slab to provide more headroom so the basement can be turned into usable living space. He'll reinforce the footing and foundation as needed, but when it comes time to build a new floor for the basement, Rosen wonders whether he can go with something other than a concrete slab. \"\" I would love input from someone who has put a vapor/water barrier, some foam insulation between 2x4 sleepers and then used some form of wood flooring that would work for higher humidity situations,\"\" Rosen writes in a Q&A post at Green Building Advisor."

But when it comes your home’s exterior, concrete slabs act as terrific bases for foundations under a shed, storage units, garages, temporary swimming pools, grills and or even a mobile home. Homeowners thinking about adding concrete slabs will be happy to know that they are not expensive. Even with a large array of grades and types, concrete slabs usually cost under $2 per square foot. That’s not the only advantage concrete slabs bring. If you feel your home’s exterior is missing something, let Improve Net connect you with a local mason to get your project under way. Concrete Slab Costs Needless to say, installing and/or making concrete is a job better left to the pros, but if you are up for a DIY challenge, you will certainly save some dough. According to our concrete slab material estimator, the average minimum cost per square foot of a concrete slab is $1.36 and the maximum is $1.88. By comparison, the price per square foot for a cement slab is $5.50. Just know that even if you do not hire a pro, there are additional costs that come with all concrete slab projects."

The only way to know your home’s radon levels is to perform a radon test. My house was closed up for a long period of time prior to the start of the radon test. Is that the reason my radon levels are elevated? No. Actually there are a few reasons why this isn’t true. First, a typical closed-up house exchanges all of its air about every 3 hours. This is due to the operation of the HVAC system and general draftiness of most homes."

"text": "The Slab on Grade Installation Introduction Contents [ hide]Introduction Insulating a radiant slab The “sensor sleeve”Pouring the slab Connecting multiple slab manifolds Snow melt When The Unthinkable Happens When to use twice the normal amount of tubing A slab on grade is defined as any concrete slab poured over excavated soil. From a radiant heating perspective, it doesn’t matter if the slab is actually “at grade” or is poured several feet below grade as part of a full foundation. Check out our video How to Install Radiant Floor Heat Tubing in a Slab On Grade, and read this page for a full description. The fact remains that installing radiant tubing within a concrete slab is probably the easiest, most cost effective, and highest performance application of the science. The thermal benefits are unsurpassed. Virtually any concrete pour should contain radiant tubing …even if you have no immediate plans to heat the space. After all, you may change your mind later and regret your lost opportunity. For most applications, the tubing and manifold are relatively inexpensive and the mechanical components can be installed even years later. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. A woodshed or an outside storage shed with a concrete floor might be a waste of tubing."

Some paving materials are more cost effective than others, and certain types are more durable and easier to maintain. The most commonly used paving materials today are concrete slabs and paving stones. Each option can provide different advantages depending on your needs. Poured concrete slabs are often used for outdoor residential spaces due to their cost and relative ease of installation. With the development of stamped concrete, homeowners also have options as far as designs and textures are concerned. Paving stones or brick pavers are individual sections made from various materials like natural stone, concrete or brick. Many of these pieces interlock, which makes for a flexible system that is extremely durable. Cost Comparison of Concrete Slabs & Pavers Facebook Twitter Google+Pinterest Standard concrete slabs are generally lower in cost per square foot than the alternative. Typically, you will pay 10%-15% more if you choose paving stones over standard concrete slabs."

"text": "Raft Slab-on-Grade Foundationby Jim Houlette on May 20, 2014A Raft Slab-on-Grade foundation can be as simple as a 4” thick slab with no reinforcement and a shallow perimeter rib to an 8” thick slab heavily reinforced with deep ribs spaced roughly 10’o.c. The wide range of concrete thicknesses and reinforcement is a function of many things such as soil type, loads, exterior finishes, allowable deflections, climate, and many more factors. The primarily factor that influences the slab thickness, reinforcement and rib sizes of a slab-on-grade foundation is the soil type. If the soil is a sandy material with non-swelling fines to allow good compaction then the slab-on-grade foundation will be evenly supported, and has a low risk of soil movement. This raft foundation will just need the minimum slab, ribs and reinforcement. If the soil has swelling material that is susceptible to changes in moisture content then the raft must be designed to resist this movement. The use of reinforced ribs is an economical way to strengthen the slab. Ribs are below the slab and are spaced evenly to create a grid or waffle appearance. This is done in lieu of thickening the entire slab because you gain more strength with depth and will typically use less concrete and steel reinforcement to achieve the same design capacities. Raft foundations have been used for residential structures, commercial structures and heavy construction structures."

"text": "Concrete Vapor Barriers – Understanding Concrete Moisture Problemsby Jason Spangler Anyone that has had to face a moisture problem with a concrete slab understands the damage that excess moisture can cause. Moisture in concrete can occur from a variety of sources: ground moisture that contacts the slab through either capillary action or as water vapor, high air humidity or drastic changes in relative humidity in its environment, leaking plumbing that passes through the slab, and more. Excess moisture can cause p H changes in concrete that adversely affect adhesives. Even an excess of moisture that was retained from the original concrete mixture will cause problems if the slab was sealed prematurely. It should be obvious – concrete starts wet. The water added to the cement, sand and aggregate mixture is necessary to form a good bond in the concrete, but it is also necessary that the moisture evaporates away from the concrete in order to let the concrete dry and to prevent flooring failures. Adding more water may make concrete more workable but it also means the drying time can increase to unreasonable levels as the rate of evaporation is dependent on a number of variables. While moisture can be added to the slab through a number of different sources, it can only evaporate away via the slab’s surface. It often can’t escape the slab without remediating treatment. Simply put, a concrete slab in contact with moisture cannot be brought to constant “dry” conditions."

This means, if you have 20 employees who might use the system, but only 9 at the exact same time, you could buy 9 licenses as long as folks log out when they are done. There may processes in place not to allow more users to logon to the system. Which also means you can have many users but will only the specific number of users will be able to logon to the system. You cannot have more than 9 LOGGED ON at any one time. The 9 may or may not be actually doing anything actively, but if they are LOGGED ON then generally they are IN the count of Concurrent for License management purposes. Concurrent user model is preferred some small customers as they feel they are getting a little bonus by purchasing, say, 20 concurrent users, when they may have 40 people set up on the system. Named Users licenses means if you have 20 employees who might use the system, you need to purchase 20 licenses regardless of how many are on at the same time. SAP Licenses are name user licenses. That means the user’s licenses are tied to the user id."

I'm Jenna Solari, a senior instructor in the FLETC Legal Division, and with me today is another senior instructor in Legal Division, Steve Perry. Today, we are going to be discussing the exercising of federal law enforcement authority on government property, and also the ways in which federal ownership of land or property may affect federal law enforcement authority on those lands. Steve is our resident expert here, so Steve if you could tell our listeners a little bit about yourself. Perry: Thanks Jenna. I've been in law enforcement for 34 years now. Most relevant to what this little podcast is about is my experience as a federal law enforcement officer with the U. S. Forest Service. I worked in Idaho, Montana, and various other states both as a uniformed officer and as an agent. About four years ago I took a job as a regional chief and spent three years up in Alaska with the U.

Heffner August 21, 2014Chapter 7.3 Test Validity and Reliability Test Validity and Reliability Whenever a test or other measuring device is used as part of the data collection process, the validity and reliability of that test is important. Just as we would not use a math test to assess verbal skills, we would not want to use a measuring device for research that was not truly measuring what we purport it to measure. After all, we are relying on the results to show support or a lack of support for our theory and if the data collection methods are erroneous, the data we analyze will also be erroneous. Test Validity. Validity refers to the degree in which our test or other measuring device is truly measuring what we intended it to measure. The test question “1 + 1 = _____” is certainly a valid basic addition question because it is truly measuring a student’s ability to perform basic addition. It becomes less valid as a measurement of advanced addition because as it addresses some required knowledge for addition, it does not represent all of knowledge required for an advanced understanding of addition. On a test designed to measure knowledge of American History, this question becomes completely invalid. The ability to add two single digits has nothing do with history. For many constructs, or variables that are artificial or difficult to measure, the concept of validity becomes more complex."

The number of wired connections is obvious; it’s equal to the number of Ethernet ports on the back, but what about wireless? Depending on the subnet-mask used and whether the device supports IPv6 or not, there could be a limit imposed by its DHCP server, but is there a limit to how many devices can connect? I don’t know about you, but I’m wondering about the actual connection limit as opposed to bandwidth which the current answers seem to be focused on. – Synetech Aug 31 '13 at 2:11add a comment4 Answers active oldest votesup vote13down vote The 802.11 protocol can handle 2007 concurrent associations per AP. Note that if you have a simultaneous dual-band AP, it technically counts as two APs for the sake of this limit. Individual AP implementations may have hard limits or soft/practical limits far below that. For example, if you have WPA or WPA2 enabled, the AP has to keep track of individual per-client encryption keys."

"text": "Politics & Government Law Enforcement & Police What does consecutive mean and concurrent?90 days consecutive and 190 days concurrent does this mean 280 days total what one goes first 90 days or 190 days1 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I think you already know the meanings, but let me explain the sentencing. All consecutive sentences are served. A concurrent sentence is not served, it is entered as a record and used in determining further sentencing. In your case, only 90 days consecutive is served. The person is free on the 91st, unless there is a remission for the 90 day sentence. Let me illustrate to explain: A person breaks into 3 shops on different days and is also arrested for possessing a weapon. On sentencing, he gets 6 months each for all 3 break ins (2 consecutive, 1 concurrent) and 1 year for the gun offence concurrently. In all, he will only serve the 2 consecutive terms of 6 months, equaling 1 year. But there is a flaw, in your example, I think. Concurrent sentences are usually equal or lesser than consecutive sentences."

Max's parents both have the authority to determine whether Max can ride his ATV. In the legal world, jurisdiction is the authority to hear a case. It means that a particular court has the legal authority to hear a case in that territory, over those parties and concerning that subject matter.

"text": "\"Skip Headers Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Configuration Release 12.1 Part Number E12893-04Contents Previous Next Query Optimization in Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle E-Business Suite and Query Optimization Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 uses cost–based optimization in order to choose the most efficient execution plan for SQL statements. Using this approach, the optimizer determines the most optimal execution plan by costing available access paths and factoring information based on statistics for the schema objects accessed by the SQL statement. Oracle E-Business Suite requires several database initialization parameters to be set correctly in order to ensure optimal performance. Refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document 396009.1, and ensure that you have configured the parameters according to this note. For the query optimizer to produce an optimal execution plan, the statistics in the data dictionary should accurately reflect the volume and data distribution of the tables and indexes. To this end, database statistics should be refreshed periodically. However, that does not necessarily imply that you should gather statistics frequently. Systems that are close to going live typically experience inserts of a large amount of data, as data from legacy systems is migrated. In that scenario, the statistics would probably need to be refreshed quite frequently (for instance, after each major load), as large loads could change the data distribution significantly. Once the system reaches steady state, the frequency of statistics collection at the schema/database level should be reduced to something like once a month."

Of course it does not mean their bodies sit in jail after they die, it would rot! If it was only 1 person that was murdered, the person could get two life sentences because one would be for the act of homicide while the other might be for a felony the defendant was committing simultaneously with the crime. ( I. E. A person commits first degree sexual assault then murders the victim during the same act.) The point it, the judge must formally give the defendant his sentencing."

Fundamentally a job/task is what work is done, while a process is how it is done, usually anthropomorphised as who does it. A job is an overall unit of work, and is composed of tasks. In practice usage is very inconsistent, and often “task” == “process”, though formally a process performs a task. Process is a well-defined operating systems concept, as is thread: a process is an instance of a program that is being executed, and is the basic unit of resources: a process consists of or “owns” its image, execution context, memory, files, etc. ; etymologically a process is the steps done by a process or. A process consists of one or more threads, which are the unit of scheduling, and consist of some subset of a process (possibly shared with other threads): execution context and perhaps more. Traditionally a thread is the unit of execution on a processor (a thread is “what is executing”), but with multi-core processors and hardware threads, some scheduling is done even at the level of a single core. There are various kinds of processes and threads, and the exact definition varies between platforms."

"text": "My favorite English teacher, a tough, old-fashioned, dedicated person named Miss Edna Stewart, spent an entire high school class period discussing the meaning and obligation of noblesse oblige. It was the motto of the National Honor Society, so she was trying to get the ethics of it through our thick skulls. It is the class period I have never forgotten. Noblesse oblige literally translates to “nobility obligates.” It implies that with wealth, power and prestige come social responsibilities; it is a moral obligation to act with honor, kindliness and generosity. The term is often used sarcastically, implying that one is a hypocrite by doing a service because one has to, or by being condescending while doing it. My mother used to refer to that kind of attitude as being a “Lady Bountiful,” doing good deeds because you’re special, to make yourself feel better and make others feel bad at the same time. For citizens of America, true noblesse oblige has nothing to do with high birth, power or prestige. True noblesse oblige is a responsibility for all of us who have been given the benefits of living in a free land, founded on the highest principles. If we, as a country, miss the mark, it is no reflection on the founding principles."

"text": "In a Relationship with a Narcissist? What You Need to Know About Narcissistic Relationships Narcissistic relationships are formed when one or both partners struggle with a narcissistic personality. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is defined by The Mayo Clinic as “a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism. ”We live in an increasingly narcissistic world. Hard statistics and science are pointing in this direction. The “look at me” mentality that is often promoted by social networks like Facebook has people positively enamored with the image they present to the world. In addition, we may now be seeing the negative effects of the self-esteem movement on a larger scale. So how does this rise in narcissism impact our personal relationships?"

But I doubt that's relevant to popular culture. – Andrew Leach ♦ Jun 24 '14 at 7:241@ Emrakul -- 'Night Moves' is: a 1976 Bob Seger song, a 2013 film about environmental protest, a 1975 film about an unsolved murder, the title of half a dozen TV episodes, a porn site, and a film production company. There's also 'Knight Moves, a 1992 film where Christopher Lambert plays a chess player. I'm not sure if any of these have a common theme. – Logan Jun 24 '14 at 8:42add a comment3 Answers active oldest votesup vote2down vote The literal meaning is obviously moves that are made at night, as in the lyrics of Bob Seger's song of that name, the specific kind of moves there being sexual ones. But the earliest of the cultural references (listed by Wikipedia) is the 1975 film with that title, and it's reasonable therefore to assume that this is the origin of the phrase in popular culture."

"text": "WHAT DOES SS MEAN? February 10, 2004 by languagehat 20 Comments I know legal terminology tends to the arcane, but this is ridiculous. Apparently in the heading of affidavits there is a line that simply says “ss” between the names of state and county, thus: STATE OF ARIZONA ) )ss. COUNTY OF MARICOPA )And nobody knows what it means. There are, of course, several theories. One is that it means “subsections”; this seems to me shot down by the fact that there are no subsection numbers next to it. Another is that it means scilicet ‘namely’; aside from the fact that the normal abbreviation is sc, ‘namely’ makes no sense here. The explanation that Margaret Marks, from whom I take this item, tentatively prefers (and I’m glad to hear it, because I, a legal ignoramus, like it too) iswhat Bryan Garner says in Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage: that it was entered once in error and then copied again and again over the centuries. Garner… says it comes from a flourish in the Year Books (unofficial law reports from 1282 to 1537). The law is not only a ass, it is a sloppy and forgetful ass."

Showing respect to others and allowing them their dignity shows belief in another's potential and allows healing and growth."

"text": "Communication Between Couples: How to Communicate in a Relationship Most people have never learned how to communicate. Without this skill, a person is handicapped in an intimate relationship. Without being able to express themselves and listen to another, partners cannot achieve intimacy. By developing your communication skills, you and your partner will be able to establish and preserve a loving, respectful relationship between two people who love each other. The Purpose of Communication in Relationships One of the biggest problems in communicating is that most couples have a basic misconception of what the purpose of communication is. Most approach talking with a partner as a debate in which each presents a preconceived version of the reality of what is going on between the two partners. The fault with this approach is the mistaken assumption that either partner can go into the conversation with an accurate perception of reality. This is not possible because neither person has the necessary information to determine what reality is, that is: what is going on between them. One purpose of communication is to determine what reality is. Communication involves the collaboration of two people as they share and examine all of their perceptions, feelings, ideas and thoughts to come to an accurate understanding of what is happening."

A condiment is a spice, sauce, or preparation that is added to food to impart a particular flavor, to enhance its flavor, [1] or in some cultures, to complement the dish. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time. [ 2]Many condiments are available packaged in single-serving packets, like mustard or ketchup, particularly when supplied with take-out or fast-food meals. They are usually applied by the diner, but are sometimes added prior to serving; for example, in a sandwich made with ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise. Some condiments are used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; barbecue sauce, compound butter, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and marmite are examples. The term condiment comes from the Latin condimentum, meaning \"\"spice, seasoning, sauce\"\" and from the Latin condere, meaning \"\"preserve, pickle, season\"\".

This one will help you understand what are fermented foods in general and then I will follow up with a post explaining in detail with recipes on how to make your own fermented foods: sauerkraut, other fermented vegetables and condiments and kefir. Sauerkraut So what are fermented foods? The short answer is pretty simple and quite funny – according to Sandor Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation, fermented foods are “the flavorful space between fresh and rotten.” That doesn’t sound very tasty does it? But take note, most highly prized gourmet foods are fermented ones because the process of fermentation creates very strong flavors."

Although Italians have been using balsamic vinegar for centuries, American cooks have been enjoying it for only a few decades. And thank goodness it has become a part of our cuisine—balsamic vinegar's complex flavor adds depth and richness to a dish. When selecting a balsamic vinegar, you will have three grades to choose from—traditional, condiment, and commercial grade. Depending on how you plan on using the balsamic vinegar and how much you'd like to spend will determine which type you buy. The price will generally dictate the quality, so remember, you get what you pay for. Some cheaper brands use sulfites added as a preservative, so if you are allergic, be extra careful to read the label. Traditional Balsamic Traditional balsamic vinegar is made from only grape must (whole pressed grapes) and is produced in the traditional method. It is made in Reggio Emilia and Modena, Italy, under strict watch and regulations, where it is cooked to reduce by half, then left to ferment for three weeks, and then stored to mature and thicken for either five years or at least 12 years depending on which type of barrel is used."

Tomato sauces are common for meat and vegetables, but they are perhaps best known as sauces for pasta dishes. Tomatoes have a rich flavor, high liquid content, very soft flesh which breaks down easily, and the right composition to thicken into a sauce when they are cooked (without the need of thickeners such as roux ). All of these qualities make them ideal for simple and appealing sauces. The simplest tomato sauces consist just of chopped tomato flesh cooked in a little olive oil and simmered until it loses its raw flavor, and seasoned with salt. Optionally tomato skins may be scalded and peeled according to texture (especially thicker pelati paste varieties) and tomato seeds may be removed to avoid their bitterness."

These plants are very beneficial, as almost every part of the plant is useful to man. The leaves (mustard greens) and tender stems can be boiled and consumed as vegetables, while the tiny mustard seeds can be used as spice. Moreover, the seeds can also be used to prepare mustard condiments, mustard oil, etc. Types of Mustard Plants Mustard plants can be divided into three types: white (or yellow), black, or brown. All these types have the same properties, and vary only in their strengths; white or yellow being the strongest, black next, and then brown. Let us learn more about these mustard plant varieties.

Some of their meanings may be obvious, but chances are good that if you’re newer to the world of spice you may get hung up on a few. For the novice foodies and beginner chileheads, I’ve given definitions of a lot of these words you’ll encounter. The following list is certainly not comprehensive, yet still should cover most of the terms encompassing the wide world of spicy sauces, condiments and liquids. Hot Sauce In its most basic meaning, a hot sauce is simply any sauce that uses hot chile peppers as one of its mean ingredients to give it a spicy taste. Diving deeper into what the definition of hot sauce is, it can technically mean any type of pepper-based substance ranging from watery liquids to thicker condiments all the way up to a thin paste in terms of consistency. Hot sauce can have an almost unlimited number of supporting ingredients including tart, sugary, fruity, salty, smoky or tangy ones. It also should be noted that technically salsas are considered to be hot sauces, albeit much thicker ones. Also referred to as pepper sauces and chile sauces. Salsa The word “salsa” means “sauce” in Spanish, so actually any hot sauce could be a salsa, but not all salsas are hot sauces because salsas can have just about any ingredient under the sun, including beans, corn, fruit, herbs, spices, nuts and even seafood."

Balsamic vinegar is a reduction made from grapes, but it is not considered a wine vinegar because the grape juice used is unfermented.

First, the grape juice is cooked slowly in a copper cauldron until it is reduced by 35 to 50 per cent. Then, the reduction is placed (along with a bit of already-aged vinegar to get the process started) into oak barrels to age. Each year, some of the vinegar evaporates, and the vinegar is transferred into a smaller barrel made of a different wood (chestnut, cherry, juniper, mulberry, cacia, and ash are commonly used). Each wood used infuses a different flavor into the vinegar, making it more complex and interesting. And as the vinegar ages and becomes concentrated, it becomes thick, sweet and dark. This process originated in the northern Italian city of Modena. If balsamic vinegar is made following the standards of Modena (which includes each type of wood barrel) and passes a rigorous taste test, it may be deemed Tradizionale di Modena."

"text": "How Many Calories Are in a Cheeseburger?by JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017Cheeseburgers are an indulgence, but knowing how many calories they contain can help you fit them into your diet occasionally. This is easiest to do if you opt for a small regular cheeseburger instead of a large double cheeseburger. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key The Basics A regular single patty cheeseburger with condiments from a fast-food restaurant contains about 343 calories and includes 16.4 grams of fat. If you make your own cheeseburger, 1/4 pound of 85 percent lean ground beef contains 193 calories, a regular hamburger bun adds 117 calories and a slice of American cheese adds another 50 calories, totaling 330 calories. Adding condiments will increase the calories slightly, depending on the type and amount you add. Supersizing Your Burger Many people opt to supersize their cheeseburgers, which isn't the wisest decision. A regular fast-food cheeseburger with a large patty, condiments and vegetables contains 480 calories, along with 24.1 grams of fat, and if you make it a double cheeseburger with regular-size patties, condiments and vegetables, you'll be consuming a whopping 650 calories, along with 35.3 grams of fat, or 54 percent of the daily value for fat. Consuming too much fat, especially saturated fat -- which makes up almost half of the fat in cheeseburgers -- increases your risk for heart disease. Lose Weight.

Italian food is revered for its fresh ingredients, nutritional value, and most importantly the culture and tradition behind it. Today, Italian food has evolved, and some of its key ingredients have claimed their place in the recipe arsenal of chefs all around the world. These common condiments are well known and heavily used now, and we have Italy to thank for that. Tune in, and see how many of these recipes you knew were traditional Italian creations. Marinara Sauce Many people know that Marco Polo brought noodles from China introducing pasta to Italy, but did you know that marinara sauce is a relatively new invention? There is speculation and various theories around its origin, but the average consensus is it was created somewhere around the 17th or 18th century in southern Italy. Traditional marinara is a very simple sauce composed of garlic, tomatoes, onions and herbs. Marinara translates to “sailor” or “seafaring” in Italian, and there are theories claiming it was invented by sailors or sailors wives to welcome them home from their time at sea. Now a classic trademark to Italy’s most well known dishes – spaghetti and pizza – this curious sauce has a mysterious background."

Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Definition Warts are small, benign growths caused by a viral infection of the skin or mucous membrane. The virus infects the surface layer. The viruses that cause warts are members of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family. Warts are not cancerous but some strains of HPV, usually not associated with warts, have been linked with cancer formation. Warts are contagious from person to person and from one area of the body to another on the same person. Description Particularly common among children, young adults, and women, warts are a problem for 7-10% of the population. There are close to 60 types of HPV that cause warts, each preferring a specific skin location. For instance, some types of HPV cause warts to grow on the skin, others cause them to grow inside the mouth, while still others cause them to grow on the genital and rectal areas. However, most can be active anywhere on the body."

Like liver spots, seborrheic keratoses are seen more often as people age. [ 4]The tumours (also called lesions) appear in various colours, from light tan to black. They are round or oval, feel flat or slightly elevated, like the scab from a healing wound, and range in size from very small to more than 2.5 centimetres (1 in) across. [ 5] They can often come in association with other skin conditions, including basal cell carcinoma. [ 6] Sometimes seborrheic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma occur at the same location, and sometimes seborrheic keratosis progresses to basal cell carcinoma. At clinical examination the differential diagnosis include warts [4] and melanoma. Because only the top layers of the epidermis are involved, seborrheic keratoses are often described as having a \"\"pasted on\"\" appearance. Some dermatologists refer to seborrheic keratoses as \"\"seborrheic warts\"\", because they resemble warts, but strictly speaking the term \"\"warts\"\" refers to lesions that are caused by human papillomavirus.

Impetigo Definition and Etiology Impetigo is a superficial skin infection usually caused by S. aureus and occasionally by S. pyogenes. Prevalence and Risk Factors Impetigo affects approximately 1% of children. Pathophysiology and Natural History S. aureus produces a number of cellular and extracellular products, including exotoxins and coagulase, that contribute to the pathogenicity of impetigo, especially when coupled with preexisting tissue injury. Impetigo commonly occurs on the face (especially around the nares) or extremities after trauma. Signs and Symptoms Figure 1: Click to Enlarge Two clinical types of impetigo exist: nonbullous and bullous.

It is not a valid medical diagnosis which a layman may believe it to be. Rather, it is more of a finding proven by laboratory exam which indicates the presence of large amounts of white blood cells (WBC) or what we call leukocytes. Pyuria happens when there is a bacterial invasion in the urinary system. Our body normally responds to tissue irritation through inflammation. This inflammatory response is manifested by an increase in the blood flow to that area, swelling of the tissues, and an invasion of WBCs to help fight the irritation. Therefore, inflammation in the urinary system increases the white blood cell numbers in the urine. Pyuria Without Bacteriuria Bacterial infection is not the only cause of pyuria."

There are many types of warts; some are painful while others do not bother a person in any way. Warts are present in children as well as in adults. Warts can grow anywhere on the body, but prominent areas where they are often present are foot, hands, and fingers.

The warts are caused by a virus called the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are more than 30 strains of HPV that cause warts, and some of the strains are serious and can cause some cancers, including cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV, but there is a vaccine that is available through a doctor to prevent the strains of HPV that cause cancer. However, a person who has had the vaccine can still get genital warts. Warts often go away on their own, but if they do not, a doctor can remove the warts one by one. Removing the warts does not cure the affected person of HPV, and the warts can come back at any time. Because the warts are spread through skin-to-skin contact, condoms are not always protective against warts, though condoms are a good idea to use to prevent many other sexually transmitted diseases.

Direct evidence for this can be seen in cancer patients who undergo immune-suppressing chemotherapy and experience severe herpes outbreaks as a result. [ 1] Similar herpes flare-ups occur in other immune-comprising situations such as normal aging, where a latent herpes zoster virus can reemerge to cause painful shingles. While pharmaceutical companies promote expensive and only partially effective anti-viral drugs, there is evidence dating back more than 20 years that the drug cimetidine (sold over-the-counter as Tagamet) is highly effective in shortening the duration or preventing the outbreaks of herpes and shingles. The problem is that virtually no physicians are prescribing cimetidine to their herpes (or shingles) patients, despite persuasive findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals. When it comes to treating herpes infections, conventional doctors seem to only pay attention to drug company propaganda, while failing to recommend lower cost drugs (like cimetidine) that have been shown to work especially well in herpes patients. In 1988, The Life Extension Foundation recommended that certain cancer patients take the drug cimetidine (Tagamet) for the purpose of enhancing immune function. Cimetidine favorably modulates immune function via several mechanisms, but its best documented property is its inhibitory effect on T-suppressor cell function. The immune system is weakened when T-suppressor cells prematurely shut down immune function. Since Cimetidine inhibits T-suppressor cell function, it can significantly enhance immune surveillance in some people."

"text": "\"How to File for No Fault Divorce in New York - State Requirements and Documents New York became the last state in America to recognize \"\"no-fault\"\" divorce. This happened in 2010. A \"\"no-fault divorce\"\" means that a divorce can be granted even if neither spouse is held responsible for the divorce. This differs from \"\"uncontested divorce\"\" as uncontested divorce is not particularly concerned with fault, just that both spouses have agreed on the framework of their separation (meaning that they've agreed upon assets, property, child custody, and the like). Get started Visit our Divorce Center Get divorce documents and ask a lawyer your questions. Below, you'll find instructions and help for both no-fault and uncontested divorce. Uncontested Divorce in New York Uncontested divorce in New York exists when both spouses want to get divorced and they agree completely upon the separation of finances and/or children. In most cases if the couple already has children, they already have a court order that dictates the placement of the child. If you and your spouse are in agreement about the terms of your divorce, consider completing the Divorce Settlement Agreement using Rocket Lawyer's easy interview processes. Writing a Divorce Settlement Agreement can help clarify the intentions of both parties in preparation for the remainder of the process, as well as detail the division of property, debts and assets."

"text": "Video Interoperability in Skype for Business January 26, 2015 by Jeff Schertz · 60 Comments With the recently launched Office 365 Summit events Microsoft has started sharing technical details on the various new capabilities which are on the horizon with the future release of Skype for Business Server. In a previous article this rebranding of Lync to Skype for Business (Sf B) was analyzed and explained in an effort to clarify some of the confusion immediately seen after that announcement. This article will attempt to do the same regarding one of the advertised capabilities coming to the Lync replacement in Skype for Business: Video Interoperability . As made evident by the unexpected popularity of an earlier article on this same topic for Lync 2013, there is a growing need to understand this space which has actually become more complicated over time, due to the increasing number of applicable solutions and methods coming into the market since then, provided by multiple Microsoft partners and even Microsoft themselves. Background Before getting into the new information it would be prudent to start with some baseline understanding of what the generalized term of ‘video interoperability’ actually means. Depending on the source this could be referring to traditional standards-based conference room solutions communicating with foreign systems, or this could be more of a story about tying together with enterprise and consumer grade applications. Or both. Whatever the discussion, it always boils down to figuring out a way to get something old to work with something new or making things foreign to each other find a way to interact successfully. One additional approach is simply forego interoperability by replacing any incompatible system with new, supported solutions. This alternative approach is what the Lync Room System product line is intended to address."

Answered Dec 30, 2015 · Author has 560 answers and 630k answer views\"\"Conferred\"\" in this context means officially awarded. How is this important? When applying for graduate school, for instance, the university may require the official date of your graduation (apart from transcripts as proof of having passed exams). So, if you are filling out a form, the date is (most likely) what you need to write in that spot. Here is an example from Duke:<<If Your Transcript Does Not Show a Degree Conferral Date If the date of degree conferral is not included in the final transcript, still ask the institution to send a complete transcript that includes your final grades. You must then send the graduate admissions office a certified, true copy of the diploma or certificate of degree completion showing the date the degree was conferred. Uncertified copies will not be accepted. If you choose not to provide a certified copy or are unable to obtain one, you may contact the Duke University Graduate School at 919-684-3913 or [email protected] to make arrangements to present your diploma or degree in person. If the diploma or degree is not in English, you must provide both an English translation and the diploma or degree in its original language. Most university officials will provide English translations if asked to do so; therefore, we strongly encourage you to work with your university to obtain a translation."

If you choose not to hire an attorney, you will still be expected to know and follow all the same rules and procedures as an attorney would. This is very difficult as judges, clerks, and staff of the court are not permitted to give you any legal advice. All your legal papers must be submitted in the proper form and filed on time. Since divorce cases often involve important issues about property, debt division, financial support, legal decision-making (child custody), and parenting time it is in your best interests to at least consult with an attorney before even contemplating representing yourself. What if I change my mind after starting a divorce case? If you and your spouse decide to stay married, the divorce case can be canceled (or \"\"dismissed\"\") by filing a request with the Clerk of the Superior Court. How does a divorce case start?

Pablo PLily M 2010-04-09 04:27:46 UTC #2For this answer I am assuming that the Catholic has never been married before, and that the marriage that was the subject of the divorce was the first marriage for the Protestant. And, of course, that the ex-spouse was still alive. If the Protestant contracted their first marriage in a religious ceremony of their own faith, the marriage would most likely be treated in the same way as a marriage between two Catholic parties contracted within the Catholic church. The circumstances of the marriage would need to be investigated by a Catholic Marriage Tribunal. The Tribunal would then have to find that the marriage of the Protestant party was invalid for some reason and that they were free to marry before the Catholic party could even think of marrying them. If the Protestant was married in a civil ceremony (ie before a judge or other non-religious celebrant) it would probably be easy to establish that there was ‘lack of form’ and the marriage again would have to be declared invalid (null) before they could marry the Catholic party.agapewolf 2010-04-09 04:56:33 UTC #3Lack of form only has to do with Catholics, as protestants can't be held to a form. The form that is being referred to is from \"\"correct form and matter\"\". Only Catholics are held to the correct canon law form for marriages.

"text": "\"Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality What is Confirmation in the Catholic Church? A brief explanation? I know its one of the 7 sacraments but what does it mean?3 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments, namely Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders. Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. A person who has received all three of these sacraments is considered a fully initiated Catholic. The priest or bishop lays their hands upon the person receiving Confirmation, the priest or bishop says, \"\"Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit,\"\" the person says, \"\"Amen,\"\" and then they are anointed with holy oil (just like King David). Confirmation: • Brings an increase and deepening of baptismal grace: • Roots us more deeply in the divine childhood which makes us cry, \"\"Abba! Father!\"\" • Unites us more firmly to Christ; • Increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us; • Renders our bond with the Church more perfect • Gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross A fully initiated Catholic can be: • A godparent • A Confirmation sponsor • A lector who reads scripture at Mass • An extraordinary minister of the Eucharist . • At Mass . •"

Penance is \"\"always, by its very nature, a liturgical action, and therefore an ecclesiastical and public action,\"\" ( Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 1482) and consists of a greeting from the priest, the reading of the Bible, \"\"an exhortation to repentance,\"\" confession to a priest, the \"\"acceptance of penance,\"\" absolution from the priest, and a \"\"prayer of thanksgiving,\"\" ( CCC, 1480). Roman Catholicism teaches that penance \"\"is necessary for salvation for those who have fallen after Baptism, just as Baptism is necessary for salvation for those who have not yet been reborn,\"\" ( CCC, 980). The penitent person must willingly submit to its requirements of having a contrite heart, perform verbal confession, and be completely humble ( CCC, 1450). It is part of the process that restores the person to God's grace ( CCC, 1468, 1496). It includes works of reparation ( CCC, 1491). It cleanses a person preparing for Confirmation so he can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit ( CCC, 1310). It reconciles a person to the Roman Catholic Church ( CCC, 1469)."

Last Friday, we received a handwritten note from the niece informing us that she will receive confirmation on October 3, to be done by a Bishop of a Diocese. I assume that’s a big deal. That’s not enough time to buy something and get it to her by then, and we can’t attend with such short notice. Hubby doesn’t even know what his responsibilities are as a Godfather, and certainly doesn’t know the proper response to this, in which case I think he should call and then send a gift.

Before we begin, know this:– First, it’s not possible to do justice to a topic such as this in a couple of videos and a handful of blog posts. Those who really want to come to a fully informed understanding are going to have to dig deeper than that. Even so, this is going to be, by necessity, a lengthy post, so grab a cup of coffee (or a cold beer or whatever suits your fancy) and settle in, this is going to take some time.– Secondly, my purpose in this post is to explain more fully the argument put forth by the SSPX (and others) as I understand it. It’s going to be up to individual readers to educate themselves further, to evaluate the Society’s argument for what it actually is, and then to decide its merits for themselves.– Lastly, under discussion here are matters concerning a liturgical crisis the likes of which the faithful have never experienced; ever, in nearly 2,000 years!It’s simply not possible without great effort to fully form one’s conscience and intellect in this environment so each might serve as a reliable guide in determining how best to respond. Along the way, we can well expect sincere Catholics, each and every one a victim of the same crisis, to disagree with one another. For many of the commenters here, this post may have a “preaching to the choir” feel."

"text": "Godparents: Questions and Answers12th March 2007 | By Guest Blogger | 17 Comments Traditionally, godparents were responsible for ensuring a child’s religious education and had the duty of looking after them if they were orphaned. Today it has come to mean an individual who is chosen by the parents to take a well-meaning interest in the overall development of their child. Above: Rachael and Andrew’s Real Wedding By Chantal Lachance-Gibson Photography What is a godparent? The custom of choosing a godparent for a baptism originated in the Roman world and the original word for godparent was ‘ patronus’, meaning a protector. The idea came about as converts to the early Christian church were usually adults with non-Christian parents and a Christian mentor was provided to help them in their new faith. The godparent was a friend in faith who could be turned to in times of doubt, confusion or questioning. The role was then extended to infant christenings in which Christian adults supported the new parents to instruct their offspring about Christianity. The religious association of the role gradually diminished and it became less important than an honorary one. Watch the video below for tips on how to choose a Godparent. Who can be a Godparent Roman Catholic: According to the Church legal system, in order to qualify as a godparent the candidates have to be:16 years of age Appointed by the parents, guardians or parish priest A Roman Catholic who has been confirmed and received Holy Communion Free of church penalties Not the biological father or mother of the child to be baptized Church of England: The godparent should be baptised, confirmed and be a practicing Christian in order to take on the role of a godparent."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In religion, ensoulment is the moment at which a human being gains a soul. Some religions say that a soul is newly created within a developing child and others, especially in religions that believe in reincarnation, that the soul is pre-existing and added at a particular stage of development. In the time of Aristotle, it was widely believed that the human soul entered the forming body at 40 days (male embryos) or 90 days (female embryos), and quickening was an indication of the presence of a soul. Other religious views are that ensoulment happens at the moment of conception; or when the child takes the first breath after being born; [1] [2] at the formation of the nervous system and brain; at the first brain activity; or when the fetus is able to survive independently of the uterus ( viability ). [ 3]The concept is closely related to debates on the morality of abortion as well as the morality of contraception. Religious beliefs that human life has an innate sacredness to it have motivated many statements by spiritual leaders of various traditions over the years. However, the three matters are not exactly parallel, given that various figures have argued that some kind of life without a soul, in various contexts, still has a moral worth that must be considered.

Aristotle believed a fetus in early gestation has the soul of a vegetable, then of an animal, and only later became \"\"animated\"\" with a human soul by \"\"ensoulment\"\"."

The Catechism of the Catholic Church strongly asserts the \"\"Real Presence\"\" of Jesus' body in the Eucharist; this is to say that the sacrament is not symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus but rather that it is his body and blood. This doctrine was affirmed at the Lateran Council of 1215. Additionally the Fourth Lateran Council confirmed the ancient Catholic teaching, that \"\"no one but the priest [sacerdos], regularly ordained according to the keys of the Church, has the power of consecrating this sacrament\"\" ( Catholic Encyclopedia Online ). The Catholic Church regards the Mass in which this ritual occurs as a sacrificial re-enactment of Christ's death on the cross, in which the priest \"\"stands in\"\" for Christ who is both high priest and sacrificial victim. Thus, the Mass is a substitute for animal sacrifices performed in the past."

It is the right atmosphere to engage in sexual relations and to build a family life. Getting married in a church, in front of God, is very important. A marriage is a public declaration of love and commitment. This declaration is made in front of friends and family in a church ceremony. The history of marriage Marriage vows, in the form \"\"To have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part\"\", have been recited at UK church weddings since 1552. But before the wedding service was written into the Book of Common Prayer, marriages were much more informal: couples could simply promise themselves to one another at any time or place and the spoken word was as good as the written contract.

They come from door-to-door missionaries who ask, \"\"Are you saved? \"\", from peer pressure that urges you to conform to the morals of the world, from a secular culture that whispers there is no God. Sometimes Catholics who are challenged begin to doubt their faith. If they find themselves unable to answer basic questions about what they believe and why they believe it, they begin to wonder whether the Catholic Church really was founded by Jesus. Sometimes their doubts lead them straight out of the Church. This doesn't need to happen. Challenges to your faith should not produce doubts. They should be looked upon as mere difficulties in understanding, and difficulties can be overcome through study and prayer.

It is recommended, however, that a donation called a \"\"stipend\"\" be given if it is within the means of the those who have requested the service or sacrament. While a priest is given an allowance to meet his needs, stipends allow the priest to have a supplement to their set income. You can usually call the local priory and ask the secretary what the recommended stipend is for a specific service or sacrament in your region.

While Confirmation is a distinct and complete sacrament in its own right, its purpose is to perfect in us that which was begun in Baptism. We might say—in a sense—that we are baptized in order to be confirmed. Growing beyond a self-centered spirituality We are born spiritually in the sacrament of Baptism. We become sharers in the divine life of the most Blessed Trinity. We begin to live a supernatural life. As we practice the virtues of faith and hope and love and as we unite with Christ in His Church in offering worship to God, we also grow in grace and goodness. But at this stage our spiritual life, like the life of a child, is largely self-centered. We tend to be preoccupied with the needs of our own soul, with the effort to “be good.” We cannot be wholly self-centered, of course—not if we understand what it means to be a member of Christ’s Mystical Body, and not if we understand the significance of the Mass. But in general our religious life does revolve around self."

"text": "\"\"\"Indelible mark\"\" redirects here. For the type of pen, see Permanent marker. According to Roman Catholic Church teaching, a sacramental character is an indelible spiritual mark (the meaning of the word character in Latin) imprinted by three of the seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders. Contents [ hide ]1 Description2 See also3 Notes4 External links Description [ edit]This teaching is expressed as follows in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1121: [1]“ The three sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders confer, in addition to grace, a sacramental character or seal by which the Christian shares in Christ's priesthood and is made a member of the Church according to different states and functions. This configuration to Christ and to the Church, brought about by the Spirit, is indelible; it remains for ever in the Christian as a positive disposition for grace, a promise and guarantee of divine protection, and as a vocation to divine worship and to the service of the Church. Therefore these sacraments can never be repeated. ” The characters these three sacraments imprint are held to differ from each other, with each character remaining indelible, so that nobody can receive the sacrament in question more than once. The doctrine of the sacramental character is thus a particular expression of the long-established teaching that baptism, confirmation, and holy orders may not be repeated, e.g. no one may be baptized more than once. One who receives a lower grade of holy orders may receive a higher. Thus, though one who has been ordained a deacon may not again be ordained a deacon, he may be ordained a priest."

[ 4] As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilisation. [ 5]Headed by the Bishop of Rome, known as the Pope, the church's doctrines are summarised in the Nicene Creed. Its central administration, the Holy See, is in the Vatican City, an enclave within Rome, Italy. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ, [6] [7] [note 1] that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the Pope is the successor to Saint Peter to whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ. [ 10] It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred tradition. [ 11] The Latin Church, the Eastern Catholic Churches, and institutes such as mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders reflect a variety of theological and spiritual emphases in the Church. [ 12] [13]Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in the Mass. [14] The church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ."

But have you ever met a Protestant or Evangelical who insists that we are saved by “faith alone”? If so, this post is for you: Faith and Works of the Law Saint Paul continually insists that we are justified apart from “works of the law.” Is this not also implicitly confirming that we are justified by faith alone? To answer this question, we must first discover what Saint Paul meant by “works of the law. ”Saint Paul, the Apostle of Faith Paul used the phrase “works of the law” six times and only within Romans and Galatians. Here’s the full list within context: For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin (Rom 3:20). For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law (Rom 3:28). Yet we know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified (Gal 2:16). Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith? ("

The meat is salted and cooked slowly in its own fat. It is then packed into a pot and covered with the cooking fat, which works as a seal and preservative. Confit as a preparation is not applied to meat alone. For example, a head of garlic or a lemon can be cooked and preserved in oil or lard.flowersunwind · 1 decade ago0 0 Commentfruit confits are traditionally fruit preserved in sugar -- it doens't have to be fat -- i have seen confits that were like pastries in marmalade -- i think that is more contemporary --G · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment Just another name to sell there goods.

Or maybe you're just a hungry time-traveler. The point is, you want to know about galantines and ballottines, and the difference between them. Well, ballottines are a subset of galantines, so let's talk about galantines first. What Is a Galantine? A galantine is an elaborate preparation that dates back to 17th century France. They were originally prepared by deboning a whole chicken, then combining its meat with minced veal, truffles, pork fat and other ingredients, plus a lot of seasonings, to make what's called a forcemeat, and then stuffing this forcemeat into the skin of the chicken. It was then tied up, wrapped in bacon and poached in a rich stock that would eventually jell when cooled. The idea is very similar to the way foods were preserved in aspic or confit. Indeed, like the aforementioned dishes, galantines were typically served cold, accompanied by the cold gelatinized stock and garnishes such as truffles, pistachios, and bacon."

Paris – not to mention the entire country of France – is world-famous for its cuisine, so it makes sense to go into a trip to Paris with a list of French foods you want to make sure you don’t miss while you’re there. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the French delicacies that you can find in Paris, but it will most certainly get you started and help keep you sated in between visits to the many museums in Paris . >> If you’re traveling on a budget but still want to eat well in Paris, be sure to check out these tips for finding cheap eats in Paris. What to Eat in Paris for Breakfast The French don’t eat big breakfasts, and this is especially true in Paris. The typical Parisian breakfast consists of a croissant and a cup of coffee – and not only will this smaller breakfast help save you a little money each morning, it will also give you a chance to eat something very French every single day. I’m talking, of course, about the croissant. The name itself is French, meaning “crescent,” and refers to the shape of the pastry – but don’t feel limited to just sampling the actual croissants your chosen cafe is serving. Pastries in Paris are an art form, and, at their best, are light, flaky, crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside."

"text": "Charcuterie is the art of salting, smoking, brining, or otherwise curing meats, most commonly pork. The term is also used to refer to delicatessens and stores which specialize in prepared meats, and is used in France to distinguish such a store from a butcher shop handling fresh meat. The French have specialized in charcuterie since at least the 15th century, and the skills involved are still highly prized, especially in professional kitchens. Some cooking skills offer training in charcuterie, and students can also apprentice with a skilled charcutier. The term is a French word, originating in the Latin caro, for flesh or meat, and coctus, or “cooked.” Charcuterie is often mistranslated as “pork butcher,” but in fact it merely means “cooked meats.” Butchering is a separate although equally valuable art which has to do with handling slaughter and selling fresh meats. Ad The roots of charcuterie lie in the need to preserve meat so that it can be savored slowly over the course of months, rather than rapidly consumed. Cured meats are present in all cultures, and many of them historically struck a fine balance between safe to eat and potentially dangerous. The challenge of charcuterie lies in preserving meats in a flavorful way which consumers will appreciate while ensuring that the meats will be free of bacteria and harmful molds."

"text": "FOOD & DRINK 09/16/2013 09:28 am ETConfit Recipe: What It Is, And How To Do It With Duck And Beyond (VIDEO)Getty Duck confit, originally invented as a method of preserving meat, just happens to have the added bonus of being one of the most delicious things on earth. Like a lot of other old school cooking techniques, confiting can sometimes feel intimidating to do at home on account of the fancy French name, and the fact that cooking duck in its own fat sounds a little complicated. Time consuming, yes. Complicated, no. Making duck confit at home is great for a couple of reasons: 1) it’s a kitchen project that demands you slow down and enjoy the process, which you guys already know we are big fans of. 2) It uses parts of the duck that you might not use otherwise, like the legs and the fat. 3) It’s really fun to invite your friends over for homemade duck confit. Once you get this confit recipe down, you’ll realize that you can actually confit anything. We love to confit garlic in olive oil (which leaves you with soft, delicious garlic and garlic-infused olive oil), cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, fish — if fat is flavor, to confit is to make something flavorful.

The notable exception is the ruffed grouse, which has a strong flavor that, in my mind, makes it far superior to pheasant or quail, which can be bland. To those of you who do not hunt, pheasants and quail are easily obtainable; our local high-end supermarket has them all the time. They will have even less of a wild flavor than their country cousins, but they are still a fair piece better than your average chicken. And yes, chicken can be subbed in for any pheasant dish. One thing all these birds have in common is that they should not be served rare and they can all dry out in a heartbeat. Fun, huh? Makes them more of a challenge."

"text": "\"Flag What is the holy significance of an alabaster box? Answer by Pegasus White Rose Confidence votes 227Alabaster was very expensive in Bible times, and if a person bought an alabaster box, it was only used for very important purposes. So the Pharisees considered it a waste when a woman poured perfume from an alabaster box on Jesus' head in Matthew 26:7-9. We are assuming here that you are talking about this moment which is also described in more detail in Luke Chapter Six? Here, a woman enters a house owned by a Pharisee and, wordlessly and with many tears, washes Christ with ointment, using her hair to clean his feet. When the Pharisee expresses disgust that such a woman, who, it is inferred, is a prostitute, or certainly a sinner, should be allowed to do such a thing, Christ rebukes him and points out that since the woman has entered, he has done nothing but minister to him while the Pharisee, whose name is Simon, has done nothing. He then turns to the woman and pardons her of all her sins for her great devotion. Since Pope Gregory the Great, this woman has been conflated with Mary Magdelene and so she is often portrayed as carrying an alabaster jar. In fact she is referred to as Mary of Bethany in another Gospel. But then Gregory also conflated Mary of Bethany with Mary Magdelene... Alabaster historically was a symbol of purity and great honour."

Biological children would be enrolled as tribal members, but so would adopted children and spouses, if you were legally married. But as people moved away to urban areas, tribes started to get more rigorous about documentation. That’s when they also started to move towards only enrolling biological relatives. They were trying to figure out how to maintain the tribal population when everybody was living so far away. How did they determine which people were legitimate biological relatives? They started to focus on what’s known as “blood quantum” as a way of counting ancestors who were enrolled as Native American."

[ 3]Origins [ edit]Symbol for agorism According to Konkin, counter-economics and agorism were originally fighting concepts forged in the revolutionary atmosphere of 1972–73. [ 4] Konkin credits the Austrian School, particularly Ludwig von Mises, as the base of economic thought leading to agorism and counter-economics. [ 4]In the 1960–70s, there was an abundance of political alienation in the United States, particularly for those in favor of libertarian ideologies. Whereas Murray Rothbard chose to create political alliances between the Old Right and the New Left, Robert Le Fevre and his \"\"West Coast\"\" followers pursued a non-participatory form of civil disobedience. [ 4] Ultimately, Le Fevre's anti-collaboration methods lost favor and faded away."

"text": "Uncategorized De’Londa Brice: one of the Wire’s most misunderstood characters04/07/2015 Lisa Schweitzer We are finishing up our discussion of The Wire this week in the Urban Planning and Social Policy class. I’ve been urging students to watch the female characters in the Wire, most of whom get pretty short shrift. I can’t think of any female character treated worse in the commentariat than De’Londa Brice, played brilliantly by Sandi Mc Cree, who I think deserved much more attention than she got for her performances here. ( It was hard to stand out in this cast of thousands, particularly with some of the other brilliant acting. ) It’s also hard to drop into discussions about the Wire, as the story lines are complex and interweaving. But let’s start with some build-up to Season 4. De’Londa has a child, Namond (one of Season 4’s main protagonists) by Roland (Wee-Bey) Brice. We-Bey was a “soldier” for the Barksdale organization who, once caught, agreed to cop to several serious crimes he didn’t commit (in addition to one they had him for) under the assumption that Barksdales will care for his family. De’Londa is kept in pretty good style in this arrangement: she owns her house and keeps herself dressed up and looking sharp. For De’Londa, Wee-Bay is a role model for Namond; the use of the word “soldier” suggests a position of honor, bravery, and loyalty that people “in the game” associate with men who enforce kingpins’/generals’ orders."

Non-count nouns are distinguished from count nouns. Given that different languages have different grammatical features, the actual test for which nouns are mass nouns may vary between languages. In English, mass nouns are characterized by the fact that they cannot be directly modified by a numeral without specifying a unit of measurement, and that they cannot combine with an indefinite article ( a or an ). Thus, the mass noun \"\"water\"\" is quantified as \"\"20 litres of water\"\" while the count noun \"\"chair\"\" is quantified as \"\"20 chairs\"\". However, both mass and count nouns can be quantified in relative terms without unit specification (e.g., \"\"so much water,\"\" \"\"so many chairs\"\"). Some mass nouns can be used in English in the plural to mean \"\"more than one instance (or example) of a certain sort of entity\"\"—for example, \"\" Many cleaning agents today are technically not soaps, but detergents. \"\" In such cases they no longer play the role of mass nouns, but (syntactically) they are treated as count nouns. Some nouns have both a mass sense and a count sense (for example, paper )."

( Granger Collection, New York)By Kenneth C. Davis Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe October 2010Wading into the controversy surrounding an Islamic center planned for a site near New York City’s Ground Zero memorial this past August, President Obama declared: “This is America. And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.” In doing so, he paid homage to a vision that politicians and preachers have extolled for more than two centuries—that America historically has been a place of religious tolerance. It was a sentiment George Washington voiced shortly after taking the oath of office just a few blocks from Ground Zero. But is it so? In the storybook version most of us learned in school, the Pilgrims came to America aboard the Mayflower in search of religious freedom in 1620. The Puritans soon followed, for the same reason. Ever since these religious dissidents arrived at their shining “city upon a hill,” as their governor John Winthrop called it, millions from around the world have done the same, coming to an America where they found a welcome melting pot in which everyone was free to practice his or her own faith."

"text": "\"Essentialism Essentialism Tweet In philosophy, essentialism is the view that, for any specific kind of entity, there is a set of characteristics or properties all of which any entity of that kind must possess. All things can therefore be precisely defined or described. In this view, it follows that terms or words should have a single definition and meaning. According to essentialism, a member of a specific group may possess other characteristics that are neither needed to establish its membership nor preclude its membership, but that essences do not simply reflect ways of grouping objects; they also result in properties of the object, as the object can be subjugated to smaller contexts. This view is contrasted with non-essentialism, which states that, for any given kind of entity, there are no specific traits which entities of that kind must possess. Anthropology professor Lawrence Hirschfeld gives an example of what constitutes the essence of a tiger, regardless of whether it is striped or albino, or has lost a leg. The essential properties of a tiger are those without which it is no longer a tiger. Other properties, such as stripes or number of legs, are considered inessential or 'accidental'. Biologist Ernst Mayr epitomizes the effect of such an essentialist character of Platonic forms in biology: \"\"Flesh-and-blood rabbits may vary, but their variations are always to be seen as flawed deviation from the ideal essence of rabbit\"\". For Mayr, the healthful antithesis of essentialism in biology is \"\"population thinking\"\"."

"text": "THE BLOG 08/06/2015 03:40 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017I Asked 3 Women to Talk About Sex Work & Trafficking in the U. S. By Debra Carpenter Are sex work and sex trafficking two separate issues? Should sex work be legal? It really depends on who you ask. There are many different opinions surrounding these important questions. To better understand all sides, I spoke with 3 women who are known for speaking about the same issues, but in vastly different ways: Lexie Smith, a prevention coordinator for an anti-trafficking organization, Rachel Safeek, Duke Clinical Research Coordinator and founder of the #Fight Stigma campaign, and Mistress Matisse, a well-known blogger, columnist, and professional dominatrix. I just had 2 questions: What’s the difference between sex work and sex trafficking, and should sex work be legal? These are their answers. What’s the difference between sex work and sex trafficking? First I spoke to Lexie Smith, who says she endured years of sexual slavery at the hands of neighborhood boys beginning when she was only 10 years old. She wasn’t forced with violence or held captive with chains."

"text": "In and of itself, the concept of 'difference' possesses no significance. Its meaning emerges only in the context of a common standard against which the relationships, and hence the differences, between a set of objects, phenomena or events can be judged. Any discussion of differences, then, only makes sense in relation to a discussion about commonalities. In humans, the discussion about 'commonalities' usually turns on a discussion about 'human nature' - that is, the common nature that all humans are perceived to possess. The concept of human nature is, of course, a highly contested one, and many deny the very existence of a universal essence to human life. In part, this denial has been shaped by the history of anthropology. Nineteenth racial science had viewed humans as entirely moulded by the laws of nature, and the differences between human groups as the consequence of distinct evolutionary paths. In response, twentieth century anthropology rejected not simply racial essentialism, but increasingly any form of essentialism. Human nature, and indeed the very idea of the human itself, has come to be seen by many anthropologists as suspect. On the other side of the debate, sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists view an understanding of human nature as a fixed quality that constrains the human condition, and fundamental to any understanding of what it is to be human."

"text": "\"Homework Help > History What is the significance of the Paleolithic Era in world history?print Printdocument PDFlist Cite Expert Answerscaledon | Certified Educator I agree with most of what pohnpei397 has written, particularly the need to discuss this from different perspectives. The Paleolithic is more than just a foundation for world history. 95% or more of all human history took place in the Paleolithic. This puts into perspective not only the enormous amount of time that humans have been on the Earth and not resembled our current level of technology and civilization, but it also emphasizes just how rapidly we have developed those things and how exponential our growth has been. You might have heard of the Stone Age; sometimes this term is incorrectly combined or conflated with the Paleolithic. In fact these are just two ways of categorizing human archaeology; the name \"\"stone age\"\" emphasizes the technology we were using, whereas the Paleolithic covers all aspects of human history and evolution during this time period. One significant element of technology in this period is the fact that homo sapiens didn't invent tools or the use of controlled fire; instead they inherited them from other hominid ancestors and improved them. While modern human history is sometimes correlated with the invention of agriculture, which didn't take place until the Neolithic, there were still many incidences of human development that we normally consider \"\"modern\"\" which had already taken place in the Paleolithic. Relatively complex societies and languages were developing, along with art and crafts, and possibly cooking outside of the roasting of meat. Another significant development during this period was the migration of humans around the world, and the end of the last Ice Age period altering the climate."

And that's it. Now, I happen to have two theories: 1.) The theme song for \"\"The Courtship Of Eddie's Father\"\" sounds sort of similar, and certainly has a similar catch phrase (\"\"He's my best friend\"\") - perhaps she confused the two in her memory (she insists that she remembers that as a completely separate song) 2.)

"text": "Heuristic limitations of the circle method20 May, 2012 in expository, math. NT | Tags: circle method, exponential sums, Goldbach conjecture, major arcs, minor arcs, parity problem, prime number theorem, prime numbers, twin prime conjecture One of the most basic methods in additive number theory is the Hardy-Littlewood circle method. This method is based on expressing a quantity of interest to additive number theory, such as the number of representations of an integer as the sum of three primes, as a Fourier-analytic integral over the unit circle involving exponential sums such aswhere the sum here ranges over all primes up to, and. For instance, the expression mentioned earlier can be written as The strategy is then to obtain sufficiently accurate bounds on exponential sums such as in order to obtain non-trivial bounds on quantities such as. For instance, if one can show that for all odd integers greater than some given threshold, this implies that all odd integers greater than are expressible as the sum of three primes, thus establishing all but finitely many instances of the odd Goldbach conjecture . Remark 1 In practice, it can be more efficient to work with smoother sums than the partial sum (1), for instance by replacing the cutoff with a smoother cutoff for a suitable choice of cutoff function, or by replacing the restriction of the summation to primes by a more analytically tractable weight, such as the von Mangoldt function. However, these improvements to the circle method are primarily technical in nature and do not have much impact on the heuristic discussion in this post, so we will not emphasise them here. One can also certainly use the circle method to study additive combinations of numbers from other sets than the set of primes, but we will restrict attention to additive combinations of primes for sake of discussion, as it is historically one of the most studied sets in additive number theory. In many cases, it turns out that one can get fairly precise evaluations on sums such as in the major arc case, when is close to a rational number with small denominator, by using tools such as the prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions. For instance, the prime number theorem itself tells us thatand the prime number theorem in residue classes modulo suggests more generally thatwhen is small and is close to, basically thanks to the elementary calculation that the phase has an average value of when is uniformly distributed amongst the residue classes modulo that are coprime to."

To travel into the past, we must surpass the speed of light. The current record holder for time-traveling is Sergei Krikalev. He has traveled about 337 million miles in orbit at some 17,450 mph – reaching a grand total of 0.02 seconds into the future. This means that from now on, he takes a step two hundredths of a second before you see him take it. Future time-travel is possible, as you’ll see explained. But no one has traveled into the past. No one will do so unless we break the light barrier, as the following proofs will show you.10The Bootstrap Paradox The term gets its name from Robert Heinlein’s short story “By His Bootstraps.” The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” refers to a self-sustaining process that requires no external stimulus to exist. Alternate history is a popular concept of time travel and centers on the premise of changing history, whether accidentally or deliberately, while traveling back through it."

The scientific method is a system that attempts to separate the bias of being an observer from the observation — letting ‘reality’ show itself in the simplest possible way. The primary steps of which are: systematic and repeatable observation, exact measurements, experiments, and the invention of and repeated (ideally, nearly endless) testing of theories. It’s a method of investigation based on what’s termed empirical and measurable evidence. Empirical essentially meaning what can be observed with the senses; and measurable meaning what can be repeatedly quantified in a standardized way. The essential purpose of science is the creation of theories or ‘hypotheses’ that can consistently and reliably explain or reproduce observed phenomena. The scientific method is the method of creating these reliable and reproducible theories. Criticisms One of the primary limitations of the scientific method is that it generally disregards inconsistent processes as processes that are simply not yet understood."

There are, of course, several theories. One is that it means “subsections”; this seems to me shot down by the fact that there are no subsection numbers next to it. Another is that it means scilicet ‘namely’; aside from the fact that the normal abbreviation is sc, ‘namely’ makes no sense here. The explanation that Margaret Marks, from whom I take this item, tentatively prefers (and I’m glad to hear it, because I, a legal ignoramus, like it too) iswhat Bryan Garner says in Dictionary of Modern Legal Usage: that it was entered once in error and then copied again and again over the centuries. Garner… says it comes from a flourish in the Year Books (unofficial law reports from 1282 to 1537). The law is not only a ass, it is a sloppy and forgetful ass."

Classical (Newtonian) mechanics works perfectly in explaining the world around us, and is accurate enough for even charting the trajectory of probes sent to Jupiter and beyond. So why are we not content with classical physics? Where does the need for quantum theory arise? Quantum theory unveils a new level of reality, the world of intrinsic uncertainty, a world of possibilities, which is totally absent in classical physics. And this bizarre world of quantum physics not only offers us the most compelling explanation of physical phenomena presently known, but is also one of the most prolific source of modern technologies, providing society with a cornucopia of devices and instruments. Evidence for Quantum Theory Classical mechanics works very well for large objects that are moving much slower than the velocity of light. Once objects start to move very fast, we need to modify Newton's equations by relativistic equations. On the other hand, for objects that are very small, quantum theory becomes necessary."

From a young age he demonstrated a strong interest in mathematical enigmas and problems. When he was still a small child he loved to go into public libraries in search of books containing problems and enigmas. At the age of 10 years he found in a library the book The Last Problem by Eric Temple Bell. In this book the author described what came to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem from the Greeks up to the discoveries at the end of the 1800s. The young Wiles remained fascinated by the problem. An equation so simple to enunciate had eluded some of the most able mathematicians of the world and the boy then began to fantasise hoping to find the elementary proof that had eluded the others. Wiles hypothesised that Fermat did not have a knowledge in the mathematical field superior to his own and he therefore sought a proof with his limited knowledge. Obviously he was not able to find it, he would pursue Fermat’s Last Theorem for a good part of his life. Wiles became a professional mathematician and had to temporarily abandon his quest since finding a proof was thought to be too difficult for a young mathematician and that he didn’t hold that it could produce interesting mathematics in the immediate future."

The terminology used to categorize ideas in science is not standardized. I find it convenient to distinguish three kinds. Conjecture. A testable idea that has not been falsified, that would in some way extend our understanding. The idea of the planets going around the Sun was a conjecture from the time of Copernicus until Kepler discovered the elliptical orbit of Mars, falsifying the hypothesis of circular orbits, and Newton showed that elliptical orbits follow from inverse square gravity, falsifying the hypothesis of epicycles. The more eccentric elliptical orbits of comets put the finishing touch on this theory by falsifying the hypothesis of crystal spheres that held the planets. Hypothesis. An untestable idea that cannot be falsified at the time, but would explain a great deal of great importance if true. Examples that were later falsified include Caloric, the supposed substance of heat Phlogiston, the supposed substance of fire The luminiferous ether, the supposed substance that carried light wavesthe circular orbits, epicycles, and crystal spheres mentioned above Theory."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sir Andrew John Wiles Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is a proof, by British mathematician Andrew Wiles, of a special case of the modularity theorem for elliptic curves. Together with Ribet's theorem, it provides a proof for Fermat's Last Theorem. Both Fermat's Last Theorem and the modularity theorem were almost universally considered inaccessible to proof by contemporaneous mathematicians, seen as virtually impossible to prove using current knowledge. Wiles first announced his proof on Wednesday 23 June 1993 at a lecture in Cambridge entitled \"\"Elliptic Curves and Galois Representations.\"\" [ 1] However, in September 1993 the proof was found to contain an error. One year later, on Monday 19 September 1994, in what he would call \"\"the most important moment of [his] working life,\"\" Wiles stumbled upon a revelation, \"\"so indescribably beautiful... so simple and so elegant,\"\" that allowed him to correct the proof to the satisfaction of the mathematical community. The correct proof was published in 1995. [ 2]Wiles' proof uses many techniques from algebraic geometry and number theory, and has many ramifications in these branches of mathematics. It also uses standard constructions of modern algebraic geometry, such as the category of schemes and Iwasawa theory, and other 20th-century techniques not available to Fermat. Together, the two papers which contain the proof are 129 pages long, [3] [4] and constructing the proof consumed over seven years of Wiles's research time."

"text": "Pubic instability4 years ago by John Read 0 Views 27 min read Definition Dysfunction or instability of the symphysis pubis (a subset of pelvic instability) is a condition that may cause chronic groin pain and is associated with a range of differing aetiologies that include sport-related repetitive micro-trauma that accelerates degeneration of the symphysial disc, high-energy direct pelvic trauma, low-energy pelvic ‘strains’ in individuals with pre-existing hypermobility, and parturition. In sport, this may limit athletic performance and is potentially career-ending. Synonyms Osteitis pubis, Athletic osteitis pubis, Pubalgia, Athletic pubalgia, Pelvic instability, Groin disruption injury. Symptoms As the clinical setting and underlying aetiology of pubic instability can be diverse, patients presenting with this condition include both sexes and vary widely in age. In sport, the typical patient is an 18-35 years old athlete (most commonly a male footballer) with chronic groin and/or lower abdominal pain that is poorly localised and associated with both pelvic impact loading and lower limb twisting & swing loading activities such as running, pivoting and kicking. The pain is gradual in onset, at first occurs only after exercise with associated stiffness but eventually develops as soon as exercise begins, is initially unilateral but eventually bilateral with broad distribution across the lower abdomen & groin, generally includes a midline component, and often radiates to medial thigh or perineum (Fig 1). Stiffness on getting out of bed the morning after sport is frequent. The symptoms may be aggravated by running, kicking, pivoting, pushing off, coughing, sneezing or sit-ups. Rarely, the patient may report ‘clicking’ on getting up from a chair, turning over in bed, or walking on uneven ground. There may be associated pain at one or both sacroiliac joints."

Counseling Families from a Systems Perspective. Highlights: An ERIC/CAPS Digest. In the past twenty years family therapy has become a major innovative force in the helping professions that has profoundly influenced the way counselors think about and intervene in the lives of their clients (Schafer, Briesmeiste, & Fitton, 1984). Systems theory offers family counselors both a conceptual and a practical framework for organizing diagnostic information and evaluating presenting problems. Generally, the systems perspective views the family as a self-regulating system held together by unspoken rules whose purpose is to maintain itself. Psychological symptoms are viewed as manifestations of a dysfunctional family, and the focus of treatment then becomes the family system, not the problem or symptomatic family member. THEORETICAL MODELSNumerous theoretical models have been developed, and counseling techniques vary according to the particular theoretical model to which the counselor subscribes. Many therapists are eclectic and use whatever model or techniques seem appropriate for a particular family and treatment setting. These theoretical models include: Psychodynamic."

"text": "\"A Marketing Approach to Human Resources - Treating Employees Like Consumers Linked In Twitter Facebook Email How the Use of Common Marketing Tools Can Increase Employee Satisfaction While Reducing Costs Many of our colleagues in human resources are now starting to see their roles as similar to those in the sales and marketing group down the corporate hallway. In many aspects, leaders in human resources are responsible for managing a complex product comprising culture, environment, and reward elements — each element having different cost/value drivers, communication channel needs, process and delivery components, varying preferences across segments, and even shelf life (flexible spending accounts for instance). To guide the strategic development of the employee value proposition, many in HR are now starting to embrace the same sort of tools used for decades by marketing. Applying the Marketing Model to HRLike marketers, organizations seek to attract and retain customers — employee customers — often in an extremely competitive environment. Talent can enable or constrain competitive success, and as the war for talent intensifies, whether from changing demographics or critical-talent shortages, more importance will be placed on acquiring and retaining critical people. As in marketing, the concept is to create an employee value proposition that best satisfies the needs of the workforce (the customer) and is aligned with the strategic objectives of the organization. Although not a sale in terms of an overt and conscious decision by the employee to buy (join/stay with) the company, the sale is reflected in other ways, such as in engagement metrics, reduced attrition, lower employee acquisition costs, and improved productivity. How can leading HR organizations address the needs of their employees and ensure that sufficient value is offered by their employees? Listening to Your Employees Our colleagues in marketing know how important it is to continuously collect consumer feedback in the form of market research. Insights from market research help business leaders shape product and communication strategies by instilling fact-based, decision making processes instead of relying solely on intuition."

In the natural sciences and engineering, measurements do not apply to nominal properties of objects or events, which is consistent with the guidelines of the International vocabulary of metrology published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

Historically, many measurement systems existed for the varied fields of human existence to facilitate comparisons in these fields. Often these were achieved by local agreements between trading partners or collaborators. Since the 18th century, developments progressed towards unifying, widely accepted standards that resulted in the modern International System of Units (SI).

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines intimate partner violence as \"\"... any behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical, psychological or sexual harm to those in the relationship, including acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse and controlling behaviors.\"\" [ 3]The most extreme form of such violence may be termed battering, intimate terrorism, coercive controlling violence, or simply coercive control, in which one person is violent and controlling; this is generally perpetrated by men against women, and is the most likely of the types to require medical services and the use of a women's shelter.

It is thought by most fitness instructors to be a significant component of the core. Contents [ hide ]1 Structure1.1 Innervation2 Function2.1 Exercise3 Additional images4 References5 External links Structure [ edit]The transverse abdominal, so called for the direction of its fibers, is the innermost of the flat muscles of the abdomen, being placed immediately beneath the internal oblique muscle. The transverse abdominal arises as fleshy fibers, from the lateral third of the inguinal ligament, from the anterior three-fourths of the inner lip of the iliac crest, from the inner surfaces of the cartilages of the lower six ribs, interdigitating with the diaphragm, and from the thoracolumbar fascia. It ends anteriorly in a broad aponeurosis (the Spigelian fascia), the lower fibers of which curve inferomedially (medially and downward), and are inserted, together with those of the internal oblique muscle, into the crest of the pubis and pectineal line, forming the inguinal conjoint tendon also called the aponeurotic falx."

"text": "\"Webinars Training Articles Case Studiese Books Playbooks Blog Stay up to date on the latest content from our experts Popular Survey Questions and Question Types What is the single most important factor determining the success of a survey? You got it - it is the survey questions, the question types and respondent answer types that form the cornerstones of all surveys!Whether it an email survey, SMS survey, web intercept survey or a mobile app survey, the single common denominator that determines how effectively you are able to collect accurate and complete survey responses is your survey questions and their types. In this article, we will cover some good survey questions , question types and their corresponding answer types that will almost immediately give you a clear understanding of how to construct and choose good survey questions for exponentially increased insights from your responses. We suggest that you should also check out: Sample Surveys with Sample Survey Questions and Question Types, to get an even better subject matter expertise.1. The Dichotomous Survey Question The dichotomous survey question is generally a \"\"yes/no\"\" question. Example: If you are seeking information only about product users, you may want to ask this type of question to \"\"screen out\"\" those who haven't purchased your products or services. Researchers use \"\" screening \"\" questions to ensure that only those people they are interested in participate in the survey. You may also want to use dichotomous questions to separate respondents or branch into groups of those who \"\"have purchased\"\" and those who \"\"have not yet purchased\"\" your products or services. Once separated, different questions can be asked of each of these groups. You may want to ask the \"\"have purchased\"\" group how satisfied they are with your products and services, and you may want to ask the \"\"have not purchased\"\" group what the primary reasons are for not purchasing."

"text": "One of the standard features offered by Question Pro’s online survey software is a wide variety of scales that you can use to measure customer response. At a first glance all the different scales that might seem similar and easily replaceable by each other. However, as you study them in depth, you realize the diversity of their natures and differences in their uses and their findings. There are over 20 different types of scales that are used by researchers in online surveys. They can be categorized in two classes – comparative scales and non-comparative scales. There are a number of factors you might consider when deciding on which scales to incorporate in a questionnaire and which ones to use while analyzing data. Some of the factors are: The type of data that is required from the respondent – ratio, interval, ordinal or nominal. How the information will be used once it is acquired. Number of divisions in the scale – odd or even. Types of statistical analysis methods to be used after data is acquired."

Braden, Doo Hwan Won, Laura O. Taylor, Nicole Mays,Allegra Cangelosi, and Arianto A. Patunru© 2008 International Association for Great Lakes Research Received: March 2, 2007; Accepted: August 8, 2008;Published: 2008 [+] Author & Article Info Abstract This study estimates the economic benefits of remediation in the Sheboygan River, WI Area of Concern (AOC) using two distinct empirical methods. The methodology parallels that described by Braden et al. ( 2008). The results are mixed. Using hedonic analysis of property sales, for owner-occupied homes within a 5-mile radius of the Sheboygan River AOC, the overall estimated loss of value is $158 million (8% of market value). Of this total, only $49 million in losses for homes closest to the upper river segment has strong statistical support. The impacts are greatest proportionally for properties closest to the AOC. A survey-based method yields a mean estimate of $218 million (10% of property value) in willingness to pay for full cleanup of the AOC. If remediation were to induce recovery of property values, then the local communities could benefit through increased property tax revenues."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Marketing Marketing Marketing management Key concepts [show]Promotional content [show]Promotional media [show]v t e Positioning refers to the place that a brand occupies in the mind of the customer and how it is distinguished from products from competitors. In order to position products or brands, companies may emphasize the distinguishing features of their brand (what it is, what it does and how, etc.) or they may try to create a suitable image (inexpensive or premium, utilitarian or luxurious, entry-level or high-end, etc.) through the marketing mix. Once a brand has achieved a strong position, it can become difficult to reposition it. Positioning is one of the most powerful marketing concepts. Originally, positioning focused on the product and with Ries and Trout grew to include building a product's reputation and ranking among competitor's products. Primarily, it is about \"\"the place a brand occupies in the mind of its target audience\"\". [ 1] [2] Positioning is now a regular marketing activity or strategy. A national positioning strategy can often be used, or modified slightly, as a tool to accommodate entering into foreign markets. ["

"text": "Show image Observations 28 June 2014Who was Franz Ferdinand? The Habsburg heir was a rose-fancying, pious man, fond of hunting and above all his family – yet his assassination a hundred years ago led to the fall of empires. By Simon Winder In 1883, while still only the callow crown prince, the future Kaiser Wilhelm II, and his almost exact contemporary Crown Prince Rudolf, heir to the Habsburg empire, sat chatting in Berlin. This was one of a number of “exchange student” meetings between younger members of the two royal families to cement the recently signed Triple Alliance, a defensive pact (also including Italy) that both provided security against France and Russia and symbolised a new, cheerful relationship between Vienna and Berlin that ended years of deep antagonism. Older Habsburgs found the freshly united Germany insupportable – their own empire, for so long the senior reactionary power, now found itself further diminished each year by its crazily bumptious and abrasive neighbour. The hope was that younger royalty (through such figures as Rudolf’s teenage cousin Franz Ferdinand) could cement the alliance, making it practical and normal within a generation. Rudolf’s visit was not a success, although he concealed his deeper feelings from his German hosts. To the anguished, liberal-minded Rudolf’s despair, Wilhelm droned on about how parliament was “that pigsty” and about the opposition being “dogs who should be taken out and whipped”. As the decade went on, their meetings became ever more frosty, albeit propped up by the usual yawning acres of imperial protocol, exchanges of absurd military uniforms, and so on. Wilhelm thought Rudolf a “vain, literary, Jew-loving popularity-seeker, without character or virtue”."

The project has since been scrapped by Madonna.247 of 249 found this interesting | Share this In the 1980s this film's script was sent to readers at a number of major studios and production companies under its original title, \"\"Everybody Comes to Rick's\"\".

Others gave such complaints as \"\"too dated\"\", \"\"too much dialog\"\" and \"\"not enough sex\"\".500 of 508 found this interesting | Share this Because the film was made during WWII the production was not allowed to film at an airport after dark for security reasons. Instead, it used a sound stage with a small cardboard cutout airplane and forced perspective. To give the illusion that the plane was full-sized, they used little people to portray the crew preparing the plane for take-off. Years later the same technique was used in Alien (1979), with director Ridley Scott 's son and some of his friends in scaled-down spacesuits.210 of 212 found this interesting | Share this Some years ago in a shop dealing with historical documents, a photo still from this film was found, showing Rick sitting at the chess board.

"text": "\"Heart of Darknesscomment on the narrative technique of the heart of darknessnarrator Asked by pankaj c #221403 6 years ago 12/19/2011 8:27 PM Last updated by Numero Uno 5 years ago 5/6/2013 4:33 AMAnswers 2Add Yours Answered by jill d #170087 6 years ago 12/19/2011 9:43 PM\"\"Conrad uses a variety of techniques to advance his narrative and to imbue it, like a parable, with a quality of universality derived from specific experience. The technique of the narrative frame, while pervasive in the medieval tale-telling of such poets as Geoffrey Chaucer and Giovanni Boccaccio, became in Conrad's hands a newly fashioned instrument that allowed the narrator to be a distant observer of events he had witnessed. As is the case in many of Conrad's works of fiction, Heart of Darkness is related by an anonymous narrator who identifies so strongly with Marlow that the two characters' identities merge. The anonymous narrator describes events of Marlow's recent past, but Marlow must speak for himself as he relates his distant past a complex psychological matrix of which the anonymous narrator has no knowledge. The interplay between the narrator's perception of Marlow's journey and Marlow's own account establishes irony in both point of view and narrative voice. Conrad's highly charged and sometimes poetic language, combined with his use of light and darkness, highlights the author's powers of observation and evokes a range of emotion transferred from narrator to reader. Conrad's language, moreover, not only gives a clear sense of physical place but also hints at the effect of exterior setting upon the interior landscape of the soul.\"\" ( 1)\"\"There are two narrators: an anonymous passenger on a pleasure ship, who listens to Marlow’s story, and Marlow himself, a middle-aged ship’s captain. The first narrator speaks in the first-person plural, on behalf of four other passengers who listen to Marlow’s tale. Marlow narrates his story in the first person, describing only what he witnessed and experienced, and providing his own commentary on the story.\"\" ("

These include the basic forms of Conrad (Medieval German and post medieval English and French), Konrad, Kohrt, Kordt, Kunrad, Kuhndert, Kuhnt, and Kurth found mainly in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, to Koenraad (Czech), Kondrat (Russia), Corradi (Italian), Cunradi (Tuscany), Korlat (Hungary), diminutives such as Kienzle, Kunc, Kunz, Kuntz, Kunzel, Zunzelman, and patronymics Kurten, Coners, Conerding, Conradsen, Coenraets, and Kondratovich, and many, many, more. The origination is the ancient compound given name 'Kuoni-rad', which loosely translates as 'brave counsel', and is one of a very large group of similar Germanic names from about fifteen hundred years ago that include Albert, Frederick, and Willhelm. All have similar meanings associated with strength (of both mind and body), victory and courage. It may be that all relate to 'wishful thinking' or hope for the future, as the development of these names coincided with a period of total chaos and seemingly endless war and invasion throughout Europe, following the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century. The name has been recorded since time immemorial, and the first of what might loosely be called a hereditary surname recording, may be that of Conrad Conradi, (Conrad, the son of Little Conrad), in the charters of the German town of Elsabe in the year 1297, with Rudolf Kunzelman or Cunzelman being recorded in Ulm, Switzerland, in 1337. © Copyright: Name Origin Research 1980 - 2017Surname scroll for: Kiehne Enjoy this name printed onto our colourful scroll, printed in Olde English script.

Dirk Willems rescuing his captor by Graber Designs Used with permission The Protestant Reformation began in Germany in 1517. It sprang up in a different but similar form in Zurich in the early 1520's, begun by Ulrich Zwingli, Conrad Grebel, and Felix Manz. They were soon split by a disagreement over infant baptism. A public debate ensued with Ulrich Zwingli defending the practice against Grebel and Manz. The city council decided to continue the practice, and Grebel and Manz were told to submit. They did not. Instead, along with Georg Blaurock and a few others, they rebaptized each other upon a confession of faith and began a free (non-state) church in Zollikon, just outsize Zurich. Thus, Ulrich Zwingli went on to become one of the three major Reformers, while Grebel and Manz were responsible for the Radical Reformation or Anabaptists."

"text": "A history of Europe from the end of Imperial Rome to the Renaissance. The Barbarian West Edited By: Robert A. Guisepi Throughout western Europe and northern Africa, the political and cultural bonds of the Roman Empire were gradually replaced by a multitude of successor states. In 486 the Salian chieftain Clovis defeated the last Roman governor in Gaul and established a Frankish kingdom that included southwestern Germany. Clovis and his successors, known as the Merovingian dynasty, succeeded in uniting many Germanic tribes under one king. Following his conversion to Christianity in about 500, Clovis formed a special relationship with the bishop of Rome (later known as the pope). He forcibly converted his subjects from the Arian form of Christianity to the Roman version. During the following century, many monasteries and churches were built in the Merovingian kingdom, usually sponsored by the king or wealthy nobles. In 751 the Merovingian dynasty was overthrown by the Frankish noble Pepin the Short. In order to boost his own claims to legitimate rule, Pepin secured the endorsement of the kingdom’s bishops and the pope; this was the beginning of a long tradition of church leaders conferring kingship. The rule of Pepin’s son Charles had a major impact on German and European history."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1857)Emotion, alienation, and narratives: resolving intractable conflict Suzanne Retzinger and Thomas Scheff Abstract This article explores the role of emotion and alienation in protracted conflict, making preliminary suggestions as to how they might be managed. First we note the slight attention given these topics in the mediation/negotiation literature. Then we show how emotional/relational issues are related to theories of economic/political interests, on the one hand, and narratives and ideologies of conflict, on the other. We focus on the way alienated relationships impair communication, and the way they generate intense emotions, especially shame and anger. In our view, secret (unacknowledged) alienation and shame are the primary causes of intractable conflict. Finally, we propose a role for mediators in the acknowledgment of emotion and alienation as a way of resolving intractable conflicts. Most current training for negotiation/mediation hardly mentions feelings and emotions. Much of the literature on mediation states or at least implies that emotions should be ignored, as if both sides of a dispute can be coaxed into behaving rationally. However, Fisher, Ury, and Patton (1991), the most popular book in this field, suggest that emotions need to be dealt with first, before substance (pp."

The name is seemingly comparable to Austrasia, the early middle age term for the \"\"eastern lands\"\" of Francia, as known from the written records. The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name Marchia Orientalis (\"\"eastern borderland \"\"), alternatively called Marchia austriaca. [ 1] The shorter Latinized name Austria is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for \"\"east\"\" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for \"\"south\"\", auster. In the 12th century, the Margraviate was elevated to the status of duchy, in 1453 to archduchy and from 1804 claiming imperial status, all the time retaining both the name Österreich and the Latin name Austria. Ostmark, a translation of Marchia Orientalis into Standard German, was used officially from 1938, when the country was incorporated into the German Reich, until 1945. The contemporary state was created in 1955, with the Austrian State Treaty, and is officially called the Republic of Austria ( Republik Österreich ).

"text": "Why did Austria-Hungaria go to war in 1914? The study of the origins of the First World War is still relevant to students today. While the divisions of Europe into the two major blocks of the Cold War seem to be over, the whole world is again preoccupied with the Balkans and its wars. Beside this, another even more current reason appears, showing why especially the Austrian-Serb situation in 1914 is so up-to-date. Several analogies occur with 11. September 2001. The major points are: in both cases a world power is attacked in a malicious and brutal way. It is forced to respond but the lack of clear and convincing evidence makes it difficult to target the reaction. We can assume that the attacked government believes that the moral advantage gets lost with any delay of the counter measure. This becomes very obvious in the Austrian case."

"text": "\"Feature Articles - The Balkan Causes of World War One Contents: Focussing on the Balkans The Purpose of the Murder Itself Serbian Blame: The Assassins Serbian Blame: The Black Hand Serbian Blame: Pasic and the State Blame in Austria-Hungary The Serb Reply Why a Balkan War? Few issues in modern history have received as much attention as assigning blame for the outbreak of the World War in 1914. The debate began during the war itself as each side tried to lay blame on the other, became part of the \"\"war guilt\"\" question after 1918, went through a phase of revisionism in the 1920s, and was revived in the 1960s thanks to the work of Fritz Fischer. This lecture also deals with the causes of World War I, but does so from a Balkan perspective. Certainly Great Power tensions were widespread in 1914, and those tensions caused the rapid spread of the war after it broke out, but many previous Great Power crises had been resolved without war. Why did this particular episode, a Balkan crisis that began with a political murder in Bosnia, prove so unmanageable and dangerous? Some questions will help to frame our inquiry: What was the purpose of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914? Who was responsible for the killing, besides the assassins themselves? Was a war inevitable after the murder, or did policy-makers let the crisis escape control? Finally, why did a Balkan crisis lead to a world war in 1914, when other crises had not?"

I think it is pretty apparent that capitalism is the best social system in existence and the only one that follows good moral values, such as individual freedom. The Pros of Capitalism You are free to make your own choices (right or wrong) in the market place. You own your life and the means to produce for your life. You can choose to run your own business or get a job with ease of government regulation. As a consumer, you get the highest quality of products for the cheapest prices. As a consumer, you get the highest variety of the types of goods and services you can purchase. You are free to innovate and invent without the government getting in your way. You don't have to pay taxes beyond that of the basics to protect your rights (police, courts, national defense, etc). You vote with your dollars."

Customizable: Although you can just add the extension and go, there are plenty of ways to customize which sites it works on, and a quick menu lets you quickly turn the application off for a page you're on or even all subpages within a specific domain.

"text": "K. M. Mc Farland Culture 07.22.16 7:30 pm Disney’s Moana Is Here To Make You Forget All About Lava Disney Last summer, Pixar’s Inside Out hit theaters paired with the introductory short film Lava, a story song about a lonely (somehow male) island that over millions of years finally finds a (somehow female) island to love. Unlike most Pixar shorts, which are received with praise ranging from general warmth to overwhelming obsession, Lava was a bit of a clunker—but Disney’s Moana, which opens this Thanksgiving, looks like it’ll redeem the studio’s track record for stories set in the Pacific islands. ( Shout out to Lilo & Stitch ! ) The film’s panel on Thursday afternoon wasn’t full of big-name stars, but directors John Musker and Ron Clements ( The Little Mermaid) and co-writer Jared Bush—who already has a huge hit this year as co-director and co-writer of Zootopia —gave a fuller look at the mythic story, giving details about the production process and showing a few tantalizing new clips to go along with the first teaser released in June. Moana takes place 2,000 years ago, during a millennium-long gap when various Polynesian civilizations had ceased large-scale naval exploration. Moana—daughter of a chief who limits how far his islanders can venture into the ocean—undertakes an epic journey to find Maui, take a mythically-powerful stone to a secret island, and save the world. The directors focused on trickster demigod Maui because while we associate him with a Hawaiian island, he’s actually a pan-Pacific figure, popping up in various mythologies. In one of the scenes shown during the panel, when Moana first meets Maui, he thinks the mortal girl is an adoring fan and assumes she wants an autograph. He’s a gregarious, imposing character—perfect for the charm-heavy Dwayne Johnson. Some of the best animation moments involve Maui interacting with his tattoos, which commemorate his exploits and come to life as two-dimensional features mapped onto the three-dimensional character."

Do prolotherapy risks outweigh the potential benefits? How Prolotherapy Works Prolotherapy, or proliferation therapy, is an alternative treatment method for pain, involving injections into connective tissue. Solutions are injected into tendons, ligaments, joint capsular tissue, muscle fascia, or cartilage with the intent of causing acute inflammation, and stimulating the body's own natural healing process. The injections are a blend of mild chemicals, including some type of irritant, such as glucose, and a numbing agent, such as lidocaine. Inflammation is the body's response to injury and infection. It is a necessary means to proper healing and regeneration. Through prolotherapy injections, injured, vulnerable tissue is encouraged to efficiently heal. New collagen forms, and then tightens. The result is rejuvenated, and even stronger, tendons, ligaments, or other tissue."

"text": "\"The Issue \"\"How can you indent in HTML?\"\" I see this question asked quite a bit in the various forums I frequent. The question should probably be: \"\"How do I reliably indent in HTML?\"\" The answer is not what most authors would want. The natural behavior of HTML in most common browsers is to collapse multiple spaces in HTML code content to a single space. How then can an author produce a reliable indent? There are potential drawbacks to ALL methods available to produce content that is not left-justified to the viewing area (the common default in browsers.) None of the solutions will work in ALL browsers, so you must decide which method will work best given the capabilities of your expected readership and weighing the potential loss of easy readability for some users. Note: Jim Barchuk has created an excellent page related to this topic that you may want to check out called ' Stupid HTML Indent Tricks .' It is devoted to the investigation of actual left margin and indenting sizes/values used by various browsers (including those surveyed in these pages.)"

"text": "\"Visit our Health Index for More Subjects, Conditions and Answers Nerve Damage (neuropathy) as a Side Effect of Surgery How it happens. What can be done for relief? Often, during the course of surgery it is possible that nerves may become damaged. Causes of nerve damage during surgery include the scalpel, a bruise that occurs on the nerve, inflammation of the tissue around the nerve, forces caused by patient positioning during surgery, or prolonged contact with rigid surgical equipment. Prolonged stretching or compression of tissue surrounding a nerve hampers circulation and can deprive the nerve of nourishment. These effects can lead to nerve damage, which may be temporary or permanent. There have been studies done in 2010 by Mayo Clinic that found that in some cases nerve inflammation may be the cause following surgical procedures saying that it was not the surgeon's fault but the immune system attacking the nerves. Although anyone undergoing surgery runs a risk of nerve damage, patients who have diabetes mellitus, cancer, a vitamin deficiency, or a history of previous nerve injury have an increased risk. Other risk factors include smoking, alcoholism, obesity, a preexisting limitation in joint movement, personal or occupational habits that cause repeated bending of an extremity, or a lengthy surgical procedure. This damage can be the result of all types of surgery."

"text": "Nuclear Energy: Pros and Consby Presidio Buzz on Monday, Feb 23rd, 2009Share Nuclear power is once again considered a prominent alternative, despite the disregard it was met with in the 1970s. This is because it’s now being touted as a more environmentally beneficial solution since it emits far fewer greenhouse gases during electricity generation than coal or other traditional power plants. It is widely accepted as a somewhat dangerous, potentially problematic, but manageable source of generating electricity. Radiation isn’t easily dealt with, especially in nuclear waste and maintenance materials, and expensive solutions are needed to contain, control, and shield both people and the environment from its harm. The dialogue about using nuclear power – and expanding it – centers on weighing these risks against the rewards, as well as the risks inherent in other forms of power generation. These are just some of the issues involved. An excerpt from Design is the Problem, by Nathan Shedroff, published by Rosenfeld Media PROSLower carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases) released into the atmosphere in power generation. Low operating costs (relatively). Known, developed technology “ready” for market. Large power-generating capacity able to meet industrial and city needs (as opposed to low-power technologies like solar that might meet only local, residential, or office needs but cannot generate power for heavy manufacturing)."

The summit recognised the growing threat posed by money laundering to the banking system and financial institutions and set up the FATF to develop and promote national and international policies, globally, to help eliminate this threat. In 2001, the FATF took over responsibility for the development of standards in the fight against terrorist financing. The FATF’s main responsibility is to ensure global action to combat money laundering and terrorist financing is undertaken. Since its creation, the FATF has been at the forefront of measures designed to counter criminal attempts to use the financial system to further criminal and terrorist purposes. Most notably, in 1990 the FATF established a series of money laundering recommendations. In 2001, they established a series of special recommendations on the prominent threat of terrorist financing, collectively known as the 40+9 Recommendations whose aim was to unite anti-money laundering and terrorist financing efforts into one universal instrument. The FATF examines techniques and counter-measures and reviews whether existing national and international policies are sufficient to combat the developing threat."

"text": "USCCB > Beliefs and Teachings > Ecumenical and Interreligious > Ecumenical >Orthodox Le Filioque: une question qui divise l’Église? : Déclaration commune La Commission théologique orthodoxe-catholique d’Amérique du Nord, de 1999 à 2003, a centré son dialogue sur une question reconnue pendant plus de douze siècles comme une des raisons principales de la division de nos Églises : nos manières divergentes de concevoir et de parler de l’origine du Saint-Esprit, à l’intérieur même de la vie de Dieu trine. Nos deux traditions professent la « foi de Nicée » comme la formulation normative de notre compréhension de Dieu et de son action dans sa création, et elles considèrent la version révisée, associée avec le premier Concile de Constantinople (381), comme l’expression classique de cette foi. La plupart des catholiques cependant et les autres chrétiens d’Occident ont employé, au moins depuis la fin du sixième siècle, une traduction latine de ce Credo, qui ajoute à la confession que le Saint-Esprit « procède du Père » les mots « Filioque » (« et du Fils »). Pour la plupart des chrétiens occidentaux ces mots restent une des formulations centrales de leur foi, proclamée dans la liturgie, et fondement de la catéchèse et de la réflexion théologique. Pour les Catholiques et la majorité des Protestants, il s’agit simplement d’une donnée de l’enseignement courant de l’Église, et en tant que tel, partie intégrante de leur compréhension du dogme de la Sainte Trinité. En effet, au moins depuis la fin du huitième siècle la présence du « Filioque » dans la version occidentale du Credo a été une cause de scandale pour les chrétiens d’Orient, aussi bien en raison de la théologie trinitaire qu’elle exprime, qu’en raison de son adoption par un nombre croissant d’Églises en Occident comme formulation canonique d’un concile œcuménique reçu, sans accord œcuménique préalable. Au fur et à mesure qu’au cours du moyen âge la division entre chrétiens d’Orient et d’Occident s’aggravait, la théologie associée avec le « Filioque » et les questions de la structure de l’Église et de l’autorité en son sein, soulevées par son adoption, sont devenues un symbole des différences, un signe évident de ce que chaque partie de la chrétienté divisée trouvait comme manque ou distorsion chez l’autre. Notre étude commune de cette question a impliqué notre Commission dans une intense recherche commune, une réflexion priante et des discussions intenses. Nous espérons que beaucoup d’études présentées au cours des années par les membres de notre Commission pourront être publiées en un volume pour présenter le contexte académique de notre déclaration commune."

[ citation needed]Unlike those who promote more-consensual community building, community organizers generally assume that social change necessarily involves conflict and social struggle in order to generate collective power for the powerless. Community organizing has as a core goal the generation of durable power for an organization representing the community, allowing it to influence key decision-makers on a range of issues over time. In the ideal, for example, this can get community-organizing groups a place at the table before important decisions are made.

Don't let it happen to you, particularly in the Christmas season as cords and lights are strung everywhere. | Source Electrical Fire Causes Unfortunately, home fires are an all too common occurrence and in a great many cases the root cause is an electrical failure of some kind. The causes of electrical fires are many; sometimes it is mechanical failure of an electrical device and sometimes it is from improper usage or design of the electrical system in your home. Nearly all electrical fires can be prevented, though, if we understand the causes and take appropriate steps to prevent them. A little added convenience, saving a couple of dollars - these things aren't worth risking the loss of your home or life from a fire. The National Electrical Code (NEC) is widely accepted throughout the US as the definitive standard for electrical work and a good portion of that code consists of procedures to prevent fire. As a professional electrician for many years I am expected and required to understand and comply with the guidelines of the NEC at all times and that typically means an understanding of why those rules are in place."

Rutherford’s atomic theory provided evidence that the nucleus is positive and that theelectrons are outside the nucleus. His theory can be visually represented with his famous Gold Leaf Experiment (Figure 3). This theory demonstrated the first real modern view of the atom.

"text": "Effet de levier et lots Qu’est-ce que l’effet de levier ? L’effet de levier sert généralement à désigner une technique destinée à multiplier les profits. En finance, les techniques courantes de levier sont l'endettement, l'achat d'actifs à long terme et les produits dérivés. Dans l’environnement du trading, l’effet de levier permet au trader de traiter des montants de positions supérieurs au solde de son compte (qu’on appelle la marge). Ainsi, lorsqu’un investisseur souhaite ouvrir une position avec plus de capital qu’il n’en a véritablement, il doit recourir à l’effet de levier. Par exemple, même s’il ne dispose que de 500 euros, il peut multiplier son investissement par 2, 5, 10, 50 …ou même 400, grâce à l’effet de levier proposé par son courtier et sa plateforme de trading. De cette manière, les profits obtenus seront également multipliés, pour un investissement moindre. L’effet de levier est une des caractéristiques essentielles des échanges sur le Forex, car il est souvent très élevé : jusqu’à 1000 (exprimé 1:1000) chez certains courtiers spécialisés. Il est ainsi possible de mettre sur le marché une somme jusqu'à mille fois supérieure à celle que le client possède. En pratique, cela signifie que les brokers offrent à leurs clients la possibilité de négocier sur du capital emprunté, de sorte que les traders n'ont pas besoin d’investir des dizaines de milliers de dollars pour avoir la chance de faire des réels bénéfices."

"text": "\"Home > Islam > Caliphs Caliphs Caliph was the person acting in Muhammad 's place after his death, i.e. the leader of Islam ( sunni ). When Muhammad died in 632, the Muslim community faced a problem on how their community should be governed, and how leaders should be appointed. There were conflicting stories on what Muhammad had said, and the tensions that came already with the first appointment of a leader, a person acting in the place of the Messenger, a khalifatu r-rasuul, few months after Muhammad 's death. Khalifa can be translated as \"\"successor, vicegerent\"\", but is a term that is seldom used for anything else than the leader of the entire Muslim community, and when other forms of usage appears the use of \"\"Caliph\"\" (khalifa), is very conscient regarding the main meaning of the term. Through history, we have seen parallel Caliphs, but none had as much symbolic power and influence as the one that followed the line of Caliphs from Abu Bakr, which was the first. This line of Caliphs had a steady residence in Damascus from 661 to 750, and Baghdad and Samarra up until 1258. After 1258, and until 1924 there have been several Caliphs, but all of these have had only limited influence, they have represented no continuation of the Caliphs of Baghdad, and in more than one case, these caliphhoods have been motivated by political motives, and few or none religious. The Muslim world have never agreed upon uniting behind anyone of these. The Caliph carried other titles, that were less modest, as they were not relative to Muhammad, but to the Muslim community. As amiiru l-mu'miniin he was responsible for the Muslim armies."

"text": "\"Education for Social Change: From Theory to Practice Alan Singer Michael Pezone1.1 More than a century ago, Emile Durkheim rejected the idea that education could be the force to transform society and resolve social ills. Instead, Durkheim concluded that education “can be reformed only if society itself is reformed.” He argued that education “is only the image and reflection of society. It imitates and reproduces the latter…it does not create it” (Durkheim, 1897/1951: 372-373).1.2 Most mainstream proposals for improving education in the United States assume that our society is fundamentally sound, but that for some reason, our schools are failing. Different critics target different villains: poor quality teachers, pampered, disruptive or ill-prepared students, the culture of their families, unions, bureaucrats, university schools of education, tests that are too easy, or inadequate curriculum. But if Durkheim was correct, a society has the school system it deserves. Denouncing the poor quality of education is like blaming a mirror because you do not like your reflection.1.3 The first step in improving education is to recognize that the problems plaguing our schools are rooted in the way our society is organized. We live in a competitive economy where businesses and individuals continually seek advantage and higher profits, and where people on the bottom rung of the economic ladder are stigmatized as failures and blamed for their condition. Our culture glorifiesviolence in sports, movies, video games, and onevening news broadcasts that celebrate the death of others through hygienic strategicbombings. It is a society where no one feels obligated to pay taxes for the broader social good and where welfare “reform” means denying benefits to children if their parents cannot find work; a society that promotes the need for instant gratification and uses youthful alienation to sell products; a society where those who do not fit in are shunned (Bowles & Gintis, 1976).1.4 Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that our school system is designed to sort children out and leave many uneducated."

"text": "Empowerment and Strengths-Based Perspective: Social Work Topics: Sociology, Social work, Social change Pages: 15 (4784 words) Published: October 24, 2011Empowerment and a strengths perspective which support the development of innate abilities and recognize differences in a positive manner are also helping social workers increase the individual client’s capacity to learn to use his or her own systems constructively More than a simple linguistic nuance, the notion that social workers do not empower others, but instead, help people empower themselves is an ontological distinction that frames the reality experienced by both social workers and clients (Simon, 1990, p. 32, quoted in Saleeby, 2006, p. 98) Introduction: This paper firstly looks at empowerment, what it is, and how it can assist social workers in enhancing their client’s competence through development of self-efficacy, mastery, and their ability to use their own resources (both inner and outer) in a productive and beneficial manner. The paper then looks at the Strengths Perspective and how social workers can use this lens to assist clients in re-framing their sense of self, and therefore enhance their client’s capacity for self-determination. The paper then looks at empowerment and the Strengths Perspective in action, through the utilization of Solution Focused theory. In this paper it is argued that the action of empowerment is fundamental to the application of a strengths perspective. It is also argued that a positive recognition of ‘difference’, such as for those experiencing mental health issues, or who may be gay or lesbian for example, can assist clients in normalizing their lived experience. Empowerment: Empowerment is both a theory and a practice. It is also a process as well as an outcome (Zimmerman, 1995; Gutierrez, De Lois and Glen Maye, 1995; Carr, E. S., 2003). The practice of empowerment grew out of the women’s and black rights movements of the United States in the late 60s/70s where it was recognised that these two powerless/oppressed groups did not have equal access to human services. This had a negative effect both at the level of the individual and at the level of the institution of the family, which meant that the “impaired systems [were] unable to shield individuals from the negative effects of the oppressive institutions” (Gutierrez et al, 1995, p. 534), thereby self-perpetuating the oppressed state of those, and other subjegated, groups. The “goal of empowerment is to increase personal, interpersonal or political power, so that individuals, families or communities can take action to improve their situation” (Gutierrez et al, 1995, p. 535) —Australian examples of empowered communities would include the Women’s Electoral Lobby and the Tent Embassy, also developing in the 1970s for example — This goal means “an increase in the actual power of the client or community [as opposed to their coping with, or adaptation to, the dominant paradigm] so that action can be taken [by them] to prevent or change the problems they are facing” (Gutierrez et al, 1995, p. 535)."

Following the death of his father, who was an officer in the French Navy, he and his mother settled in metropolitan France. While studying in Paris, he discovered a true passion for philosophy, which he decided to make his profession—he enrolled at the École Normale Supérieure. [ 2] From June 1943 he was fully engaged with the French Resistance, joining the maquis of the Haut Jura under the code name of Kant. He often had to come down from the mountains in order to accomplish missions in Nazi-occupied Lyon, an experience of clandestinity that deeply marked his philosophy. [ 3]At the end of the war he took the final part of the philosophy examination at the university, following which he wrote in 1963 [4] a doctoral thesis, titled L'essence de la manifestation ( The Essence of Manifestation ), under the direction of Jean Hyppolite, Jean Wahl, Paul Ricœur, Ferdinand Alquié, and Henri Gouhier. [ 5] His first book, on the Philosophy and Phenomenology of the Body, was completed in 1950."

Land zoned this way is often referred to as open space or green space. It is the land in a community that is set aside for either no development or very low-density development. Development is not prohibited on agricultural/conservation land. This is important to understand. A landowner may construct homes on such land. In Derry Township, one home may be built for every 5 acres of agricultural/conservation land. So, keeping such land zoned for agriculture/conservation does not force the landowner to keep the space as a forest or field. It would, however, prohibit the construction of a dense housing development."

Time is only relative to you when it measures a separation between you and someone in another place any allows you to reach a common understanding about what you mean by arranging mutual time. The Greenwich meridian was introduced as a way of standardising that understanding of time, in relation to others. However this understanding and measurement only applies to earth. The conventions rely of the earths rotation and in turn the earth’s rotation around the sun. It would be completely meaningless to an observer planet on another planet with different day/night cycles and orbits, they would surely be dumbfounded by how we account for time. Likewise we would be equally puzzled by theirs, as neither would work in each others place. But regardless of the differences in accounting methods, the time still flows around us and everything in the universe just the same, it just might not have the same significance to others in different places. We would just need to establish common ground like we did with GMT in order to co-exist on an inter-planetary basis."

For those of us who live in temperate regions, seasonal changes happen every few months. You could be darting across a lake on water skis in July, and, 6 months later, you could be racing across that same lake on ice skates!There is no season such delight can bring, as summer, autumn, winter, and the spring. William Browne – “Variety”When you grow up experiencing four seasons every year, you begin to notice and appreciate the seasonal ebb and flow of life around you. Winter is peaceful and quiet; critters that don’t migrate stay hunkered down in warm dens, waiting for the spring (Humans included!). Spring is a welcome awakening; as the snow melts away and leaves begin to bud on the trees, life reappears and prepares for a new year. Summer is a bustle of energy and life; insects are busy pollinating the next generation of wildflowers, and birds sing from every corner of the forest. Autumn is a time for harvesting and a time for goodbyes; mammals fatten themselves up to prepare for a winter food shortage, and birds of a feather flock together to follow their food south. For many of us, seasonal change is old news."

[ 1]The process was first demonstrated by the fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly and others in an article published in the journal Science in 1998. [ 2] Large predator fish with higher trophic levels have been depleted in wild fisheries. As a result, the fishing industry has been systematically \"\"fishing down the food web\"\", targeting fish species at progressively decreasing trophic levels. The trophic level of a fish is the position it occupies on the food chain. The article establishes the importance of the mean trophic level of fisheries as a tool for measuring the health of ocean ecosystems. In 2000, the Convention on Biological Diversity selected the mean trophic level of fisheries catch, renamed the \"\"Marine Trophic Index\"\" (MTI), as one of eight indicators of ecosystem health. However, many of the world's most lucrative fisheries are crustacean and mollusk fisheries, which are at low trophic levels and thus result in lower MTI values.

Unless we start mining the resource by using more than goes in on a long term basis, we will always be able to get plenty of good water for critical uses like eating and bathing. We have never seen the Aquifer less than 90-95% full, so there is lots of water down there we can use if we have to in an extreme drought. However, we sometimes DO run out of water in the top 5-10% of the Edwards formation, and when that happens the springs stop flowing. Lots of people, along with endangered plants and animals, depend on water from the springs. To keep them flowing we have to keep the Aquifer almost full. Do we have a water shortage?

"text": "(Alan Crosthwaite/Dreamstime)It’s not just a question of “restraint” versus “activism. ”W hat is the proper role of courts in our system of government? Ever since the seminal decision in Marbury v. Madison (1803), the concept of judicial review has made the courts — and in particular the U. S. Supreme Court — the ultimate arbiter of whether a state or federal law violates the Constitution. Just as baseball umpires are sometimes criticized for their calls on the playing field, the exercise of judicial review has periodically exposed the Court to complaints that it has erred either by being too aggressive in striking down laws (in conventional parlance, “judicial activism”), or by not being aggressive enough in overturning laws (sometimes called “judicial passivity”). This is a longstanding argument among all political camps, but it became a topic of controversy on the right this January, when, speaking at the Heritage Foundation, Senator Rand Paul endorsed “judicial activism,” igniting a debate between libertarians, who tend to see judicial review as a constraint on majoritarianism, and conservatives, who tend to see it as a font of judicial activism. In reality, it has been both, as the Court’s role and national politics have changed over time. In order to understand the debate, one must reach beyond the superficial labels “activism” and “restraint,” and one must also consider the complicated lineage of modern judicial review. In 1803, Chief Justice John Marshall famously declared that “it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is,” thus establishing in American constitutional law the doctrine of judicial review. The separate but related concept of “judiciary supremacy” holds that judges have the final word in matters of constitutional interpretation. In present-day usage, the two terms are often (albeit imprecisely) conflated, and this essay addresses “judicial review” in that generic sense."

Both have contributed to the field of education by offering explanations for children's cognitive learning styles and abilities. While Piaget and Vygotsky may differ on how they view cognitive development in children, both offer educators good suggestions on how teach certain material in a developmentally appropriate manner. Piaget proposed that cognitive development from infant to young adult occurs in four universal and consecutive stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operations (Woolfolk, A., 2004). Between the ages of zero and two years of age, the child is in the sensorimotor stage. It is during this stage the child experiences his or her own world through the senses and through movement. During the latter part of the sensorimotor stage, the child develops object permanence, which is an understanding that an object exists even if it is not within the field of vision (Woolfolk, A., 2004). The child also begins to understand that his or her actions could cause another action, for example, kicking a mobile to make the mobile move. This is an example of goal-directed behavior. Children in the sensorimotor stage can reverse actions, but cannot yet reverse thinking (Woolfolk, A., 2004)."

"text": "Fast After 50: High Intensity Interval Training and the Aging Athlete February 13, 2015 By Joe Friel For athletes who have been in their sports for a long time, as in several decades, performance declines as they move north of fifty years of age. The research tells us that there are two reasons for this. One is that the aerobic capacity (VO2max) declines with age. This appears to be inevitable. The other is that most older athletes gravitate to long, slow distance (L. S. D.) training. This is not inevitable and fully within one’s control. In those aging athletes who continue to do High-Intensity Interval Training (H. I. I. T.), aerobic capacity drops slowly, at a rate of about half a percent per year, until the mid-seventies when it accelerates. Athletes training primarily with L. S. D. see a decline of about 1 to 1.5 percent per year. Aerobic Capacity as a Predictor Something else we know from the research on aging is that the best predictor of endurance performance in older athletes is their aerobic capacities. The other two physiological determiners of how fast we are, lactate threshold and economy, don’t decline as much with aging as does VO2max."

Rev speed outside of this zone U will loose power & drivability. The Higher the RPM range of a cam, the more 'racing' it is. Almost all performance cams will upset your smooth idle & give u that lumpy sound idle. If your not doing too much work to your motor eg. Exhaust, cam, air-filter.. I'd suggest going for a conserative cam choise (lower RPM range) as going to racey a cam will make you go slower. If your car/truck is Automatic, go mild cam & if manual trans, you can afford to go a bit more racing cam. Just be conservative on your cam choice unless you trully are modifying the motor allot."

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

The Stormwater Management rules (Stormwater rules or rules) are also implemented by local authorities through the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL) and the Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS). Per the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the RSIS are applicable to any residential application that goes before a local board. Through the RSIS, the Stormwater rules are activated whenever a municipality requires the control of runoff from a site that is the subject of a site or subdivision application. Therefore, consistent with its duly adopted ordinances, a municipality may require compliance with the Stormwater rules through the RSIS whether or not a development is a \"\"major development\"\" as defined in the Stormwater rules. Please note that local implementation may differ, particularly with regard to their jurisdiction. Consequently, the municipal ordinances must be examined to determine development thresholds at which the Stormwater rules will apply. The rule clarification and interpretation offered herein are consistent with the current application of the Stormwater rules by the Department, and do not supersede local authority under the MLUL.

Parts of the Bantu area include languages from other language families (see map). Estimates of number of speakers of most languages vary widely, due both to the lack of accurate statistics in most developing countries and the difficulty in defining exactly where the boundaries of certain languages lie, particularly in the presence of a dialect continuum. The Bantu language with the largest total number of speakers is Swahili; however, the majority of its speakers use it as a second language. According to Ethnologue, there are over 180 million second-language (L2) speakers of Swahili but only about 2 million native speakers. [ 5]Other major Bantu languages include Zulu, with 27 million speakers (15.7 million L2), and Shona, with about 11 million speakers (if Manyika and Ndau are included). ["

A person who follows the philosophies of conservatism is referred to as a traditionalist or conservative. Some conservatives seek to preserve things as they are, emphasizing stability and continuity, while others, called reactionaries, oppose modernism and seek a return to \"\"the way things were\"\". The first established use of the term in a political context was by François-René de Chateaubriand in 1819, following the French Revolution. The term, historically associated with right-wing politics, has since been used to describe a wide range of views. There is no single set of policies that are universally regarded as conservative, because the meaning of conservatism depends on what is considered traditional in a given place and time. Thus, conservatives from different parts of the world—each upholding their respective traditions—may disagree on a wide range of issues."

Answered Jun 19, 2016 · Author has 113 answers and 43.1k answer views The first thing is to understand that the definitions of “liberal” and “conservative” can vary a LOT, depending on the country, the social contest, and the era. For example, in China, “liberal” means support for free speech, for individuals rights, for general freedom of thought. “ Leftist” is the term used in China to describe those who support the communist party, who are averse to change, etc. A “leftist” in China is strongly opposed to individual rights, any acceptance of homosexuality as being normal or natural, has strict and traditional understandings of how things should be, and believe there is great danger from changing things. So, obviously, the term “Leftist” in China, is dramatically different that what “Leftist” means in the US - which would be commonly described as a Bernie Sanders supporter, who wants a great deal of change, support for gay rights, for civil rights for minorities, etc. And, remember that what is “liberal” and what is “conservative” changes dramatically over time. Example: In the 1920s and 1930s, “Liberals” wanted the 40 hour work week, and sought government to enforce it, over the objections of business owners and conservatives. It was a radical idea, it was considered to be on the path to communism."

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

Bush squares the fiscally expansive / conservative circle.11:00 PM, Aug 17, 2003 | By Fred Barnes IS PRESIDENT BUSH really a conservative? When that question came up this summer, the White House went into crisis mode. Bush aides summoned several of Washington's conservative journalists to a 6:30 a.m. breakfast at the White House to press the case for the president's adherence to conservative principles. Aides outnumbered journalists. Other conservative writers and broadcasters were invited to luncheon sessions. They heard a similar spiel. The White House needn't have bothered. The case for Bush's conservatism is strong. Sure, some conservatives are upset because he has tolerated a surge in federal spending, downplayed swollen deficits, failed to use his veto, created a vast Department of Homeland Security, and fashioned an alliance of sorts with Teddy Kennedy on education and Medicare. But the real gripe is that Bush isn't their kind of conventional conservative."

"text": "Definition: The conservatism principle is a concept that suggests a less than optimal estimate should be used when given and option. In other words, when there is an uncertain event, accountants should error on the side of caution and moderation. This generally means in a situation where income and expenses are uncertain, less income is recorded and more expenses are recorded. This isn’t always the case, but minimizing profits is generally more conservative that maximizing them. What Does Conservatism Principle Mean? GAAP requires that accountants view estimates and uncertain business events with skepticism. Management will almost always lean toward the most optimal and opportunistic outcome in any situation. It’s the accountant’s job to look at the reality of the transaction and record it with a less than optimal outcome. Remember, the conservatism principle doesn’t say that we always have to estimate outcomes unfavorably. Accountants just have to choose the most conservative outcome if two different outcomes are available."

[ 5] Thanks to its thoroughness, rhetorical skill, and literary power, it has become one of the most widely known of Burke's writings and a classic text in political theory.

Abstract Native to Latin America, Mikania micrantha is considered as one of the top invaders in the moist tropical zones of the Pacific and Asian countries, including India. This study was conducted with two specific objectives − first, to examine the niche and biome conservancy of M. micrantha between its native and Indian ranges and second, to understand the potential distribution of this invasive plant in India. Principal Component Analysis of climatic variables associated with known occurrences of M. micrantha in India and native ranges indicated significant shifts in climatic niche of M. micrantha in India. Temperature and precipitation seasonality were found to be the driving factors for the niche shift in India. Our study also revealed that in India M. micrantha invaded a novel biome viz. the temperate broadleaf and mixed forest, which was present but unoccupied in the native range. Given the climatic niche shift, both Indian and native occurrence data were used to model the potential distribution of this weed in India using Max Ent. The predicted distribution identified that a larger extent of the Indian landmass is climatically suitable for M. micrantha growth. High climatic suitability of some of the urban centers of India adds to the risk of further spread of this plant into ‘still to be invaded’ areas."

He was the founder and editor in chief of National Review, a syndicated columnist, the host of Firing Line (TV’s longest-running weekly public-affairs program), the author of more than 50 books, and a college lecturer for nearly five decades. His mighty stream of words is almost surely unequalled by any other writer of the past 100 years. Before Bill Buckley came along, American conservatism was composed of “a congeries of ill assorted half-enemies,” in the words of long-time National Review publisher Bill Rusher. [ 1] Buckley purged the conservative movement of its extremist elements and united the rest by persuading traditionalists, libertarians, and anti-Communists to focus on a common enemy: liberalism. Buckley’s vision of ordered liberty shaped and guided modern conservatism from its infancy in the 1950s to its present-day maturity as a political force that has transformed American politics. As George Will has written, “Before there was Ronald Reagan, there was Barry Goldwater, and before there was Barry Goldwater, there was National Review, and before there was National Review, there was Bill Buckley with a spark in his mind, and the spark in 1980 became a conflagration.” [ 2]Born November 24, 1925, in New York City to William Frank Buckley Sr. and Aloise Josephine Antonia Steiner (Buckley).

[ 1]The mainstream economics position is that deficit spending is desirable and necessary as part of countercyclical fiscal policy, but that there should not be a structural deficit (i.e., permanent deficit): The government should run deficits during recessions to compensate for the shortfall in aggregate demand, but should run surpluses in boom times so that there is no net deficit over an economic cycle (i.e., only run cyclical deficits and not structural deficits). This is derived from Keynesian economics, and gained acceptance (especially in the Anglo-Saxon world) during the period between the Great Depression in the 1930s and post-WWII in the 1950s. [ citation needed]This position is attacked from both sides: Advocates of federal-level fiscal conservatism argue that deficit spending is always bad policy, while some post-Keynesian economists—particularly neo-chartalists or proponents of Modern Monetary Theory —argue that deficit spending is necessary for the issuance of new money, and not only for fiscal stimulus. [ citation needed] According to most economists, during recessions, the government can stimulate the economy by intentionally running a deficit. The deficit spending requested by John Maynard Keynes for overcoming crises is the monetary side of his economy theory. As investment equates to real saving, money assets that build up are equivalent to debt capacity."

"text": "conservatism definition This accounting guideline states that if doubt exists between two acceptable alternatives (in other words the accountant needs to break a tie), the accountant should choose the alternative that will result in a lesser asset amount and/or a lesser profit. A classic example is inventory where the net realizable value (NRV) is less than the actual cost. The accountant must decide whether to leave the inventory at cost or to reduce the inventory amount to its NRV. Conservatism directs the accountant to reduce the inventory to the lower amount (NRV). This results in a lower asset amount and a debit to an income statement account, such as Loss from Reducing Inventory to NRV. Related Q&AWhat is the conservatism principle? I don't understand the conservatism principle. Why do losses get recorded but not gains? What are the ways to value inventory? How do you write off a bad account?"

"text": "I’m often asked versions of the following: Given that the political right is so corrupted by conservatives who seek to limit liberty in countless ways, wouldn’t it be better to abandon the language of “left” vs. “right” and adopt new terminology? My answer is that, because the terms “left” and “right” are already widely used to denote the basic political alternative, and because that alternative is in fact binary, the best approach for advocates of freedom is not to reject the prevalent terminology but to clarify it—by defining the relevant terms. The problem with conventional approaches to the left-right political spectrum is that they either fail to define the alternatives in question, or proceed to define them in terms of non-essentials. One common approach, for instance, fails to specify the precise nature of either side, yet proceeds to place communism, socialism, and modern “liberalism” on (or toward) the left—and fascism, conservatism, and capitalism on (or toward) the right. This makes no sense, at least in terms of the right. Capitalism —the social system of individual rights, property rights, and personal liberty—has nothing in common with conservatism or fascism. Take them in turn. Conservatism is not for individual rights or personal liberty; rather, it is for religious values (euphemistically called “traditional values” or “family values”) and a government that enforces them. Although conservatism calls for some economic liberties, it simultaneously demands various violations of individual rights in order to support certain aspects of the welfare state (e.g., Social Security and government-run schools), in order to shackle or control “greedy” businessmen (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley and anti-immigration laws), and in order to forbid certain “immoral” acts or relationships (e.g., drug use and gay marriage). Thus, conservatism is utterly at odds with capitalism."

Copied Select a Section 1 /0While this is my first visit to Mainland China, I have visited Hong Kong and Taiwan many times over the last 30 years, drawn to this nation and its people by their important place in world politics and human history. Much of what I know about China I learned from Walter H. Judd, who was a medical missionary in China in the 1920s and the 1930s. Dr. Judd is relevant to our discussion because he was a major influence on the American conservative movement from the 1950s through the 1980s. Indeed, what he said about China was very nearly the gospel for many conservatives. After a year's study at the University of Nanking, Dr. Judd was posted to the Shaowu mission in the town of Shaowu, Fukien Province, so far into the interior that it could only be reached by a 10day boat trip up the Min River. He spent the next five years in Shaowu, caring for the sick and the dying, facing death at the hands of bandits, criticizing the Nationalists, debating with Communists, including Gen. Lin Piao, going for months without seeing another white face, and falling deeply in love with China until, his life threatened by persistent bouts of malaria, he reluctantly came home to the United States. Dr. Judd had many Communists as his patients in Shaowu, and he was always impressed by their discipline. They first came through his town in 1926 when they were part of Chiang Kaishek's united front against the warlords. \"\" They were the first military outfit I ever saw,\"\" said Dr. Judd, \"\"that never had a case of venereal disease. \"\""

As much as manufacturers and consumers alike would like to eliminate these sales intermediaries, in certain cases it is just impossible. For example, it would be unthinkable for the average individual to purchase a car directly from the manufacturer, without ever doing a test-drive, and without financing. The automobile and many other industries share a similar method of distribution for their products: a middleman holding goods on consignment. What is a consignment agreement? In Florida, the answer comes directly from the statutory text:“Consignment” means a transaction, regardless of its form, in which a person delivers goods to a merchant for the purpose of sale and:1. The merchant:a. Deals in goods of that kind under a name other than the name of the person making delivery;b. Is not an auctioneer; andc.

It was devised by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and was brought into UK law by the Carriage of Goods by Road Act 1965. When does CMR apply? It applies to every contract for the carriage of goods by road in vehicles for reward, when the place of taking over of the goods and the place designated for delivery, as specified in the contract, are situated in two different countries, of which at least one is a contracting party to CMR.

For the longest time, I misunderstood the world of second-hand shops. I assumed that all shops gathered their inventory by buying goods from people directly, or from donations. I was completely oblivious to consignments. I also was completely unaware that online marketplaces like craigslist, Amazon, and e Bay are also considered second-hand shops. It turns out there are four types of second-hand shops – consignment, pawn, classified and thrift. The difference between each one comes down to: When you relinquish ownership of the physical possessions When you are paid Whether someone helps you sell your items Consignment Consignment is when a shop sells goods for an owner. The owner keeps ownership of his item until it sells, if it sells. As the owner, you’d pay a small fee to the shop as compensation for them selling your item. For example, you consign a children’s bicycle for $20. Generally, when they sell your bicycle, they take their 50% or $10."

The consignment arrangement is particularly helpful for the businesses with niche products and limited reach. A business that does not a brick and mortar store benefits from this arrangement, as the goods are still being sold through other sellers. Thus, it saves on the infrastructure costs.

For companies that sell goods and services, inventory (or stock) is rightfully called the lifeblood of the business. What is Inventory? A healthy inventory flow enables sale closings, customer shipments, and productive work for employees. Without this flow, the business dies. It should be no surprise to find that in many industries, a firm's financial performance and position depend heavily on the firm's ability to manage inventory effectively and efficiently. Defining Inventory In business, Inventory has several definitions: Firstly, inventory refers primarily to goods, raw materials, and other tangible items that a business holds, intended ultimately for sale. The rest of this article assumes that definition. Secondly, as a verb, inventory means to count or list units of a resource on hand. A hotel business, for instance, might inventory the contents of a hotel room when a guest departs as a check against loss."

"text": "\"Introduction Click here to access a copy of Export Help's commercial invoice (Word document)After the pro-forma invoice is accepted by the importer, the exporter must prepare a commercial invoice. The commercial invoice is required by both the exporter (to obtain the necessary export documents to enable the consignment to be exported, to prove ownership and to enable payment) and importer (who requires the commercial invoice to facilitate the import of the goods into the country in question). In exporting, the commercial invoice is considered a very important document as it serves as the starting or initiating document that underpins the rest of the export transaction. The commercial invoice is essentially a bill (i.e. invoice) from the seller (the exporter) to the buyer (the importer) describing the parties to the agreement, the goods to be sold, and the terms involved, as agreed between the exporter and importer. As such, the commercial invoice is the final bill exchanged between the seller and the buyer. The commercial invoice will normally be presented on the exporter's letterhead and will be addressed to the importer. It should contain full details of the consignment, including price and other related costs, in order to facilitate customs clearance. It must also be signed and dated. Freight and insurance, when included in the selling price, should be itemised separately as these charges are not subject to duty in certain countries. It is important that the commercial invoice clearly differentiates between the dutiable component of the order (the market value of the order), any other typically non-dutiable charges such as freight and insurance, and the total invoice value of the order."

Under consignment when goods are procured from the vendor, these are physically stored in company’s premises but these goods are not the property of the company. These goods still belong to the supplier. This is the nature of ownership of the stocks which differentiate it from company’s other stock. All this stock is widely known as consignment stock in SAP. Here it also important to high light that consignment stock in Material Management is totally different from the consignment stock in Sales and Distribution. In MM, vendor goods are stored at company’s premises whereas in SD company goods are stored at customer’s premises. Customer Consignment: In SD, it is known as Customer Consignment. Since these special stocks are located at customer premises and not at company own premises hence, these are managed at plant level and not at storage location level.

"text": "\"Turkey: The Content And Functions Of The Consignment Note Under The CMRLast Updated: 29 March 2012 Article by Serenat Baytan Goksu Safi Isik Attorney Partnership The international transport of goods by road is governed by the Convention on International Carriage of Goods by Road (Convention relative au contrat de transport des marchandises par route) (CMR) signed in Geneva on May 19, 1956. The CMR applies to every contract for the carriage of goods in vehicles by road for profit in which the place from which the goods are taken and the place designated for delivery, as specified in the contract, are situated in different countries and at least one is a contracting party, that is, a state which has ratified the CMR. The CMR does not require that both the countries of dispatch and of destination be contracting parties; only one of these countries must be a contracting state. The Convention applies regardless of the place of residence and the nationality of the parties. The Convention also applies where the carriage is carried out by states or by governmental institutions or organizations. The CMR was ratified in Turkey by Law no. 3939 and came into force on October 31, 1995. The CMR provides for the confirmation of a contract of carriage by means of a consignment note, although such a note is not essential to the performance of such a contract. This article describes \"\"the content and functions of the consignment note\"\" under the CMR. The consignment note is defined in Article 4 while the form, content and effects of it are arranged between Articles 4 and 9 of the CMR.1."

Humanitarian actors are expected to base their assistance on certain fundamental humanitarian principles. They can also seek guidance for their work in various sources of international humanitarian law. What are humanitarian principles? In the broadest sense, humanitarian principles are rooted in international humanitarian law. In a more narrow sense, they are the principles devised to guide the work of humanitarian actors (Mackintosh, 2000). These principles are widely recognised as: humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. Humanitarian principles Humanity: Human suffering must be addressed whenever it is found. The purpose of humanitarian action is to protect life and health and ensure respect for human beings. Neutrality: Humanitarian actors must not take sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature."

"text": "What is 'Consignment'Consignment is an arrangement in which goods are left in the possession of another party to sell. Typically, the consignor receives a percentage of the revenue from the sale (sometimes a very large percentage). Consignment deals are made on a variety of products, such as artwork, clothing and accessories, and books. Next Up Strategic Investment Fund Compulsive Shopping Inventory Ma And Pa Shop BREAKING DOWN 'Consignment'In the 21st century, consignment shops have become trendy, especially those offering specialty products, infant wear and high-end fashion items. Millennials in particular are known for their frugal shopping habits, which include eschewing high-end stores and designer boutiques for the bargains found at thrift and consignment shops. Economists list rising student debt, stagnant wages and the psychological effects of the Great Recession of 2007-2009 as factors pushing younger shoppers toward consignment shops and other discount stores. How Consignment Arrangements Work A person wishing to sell an item on consignment delivers the item to a consignment shop or a third party to do the selling on his behalf. Before the third party takes possession of the good, an agreement must be reached as to the revenue split when the good is sold. Most consignment shops have standard fee schedules that indicate the percentage of the sales price that is paid to the shop and the percentage paid to the seller. However, many consignment shops are willing to negotiate, particularly for larger-ticket items, such as artwork, that offer greater revenue potential."

In these circumstances, debt consolidation may be helpful. How does debt consolidation work? There are two main debt consolidation options: debt consolidation by taking out a loan, and debt consolidation programs such as those offered by American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) that do not require you to borrow. How Does Debt Consolidation Work with a Loan? One common approach to debt consolidation involves taking out a loan. How does debt consolidation work when a loan is involved?

Here’s how credit card consolidation works: You first decide if you want to take out a new loan, open a new credit card or enroll in a debt management plan (more on that later). Whichever option you choose, you will use it to pay off your multiple balances. Then you’ll only have one monthly payment: the loan, the credit card or the debt management plan. Not only does that simplify your debt payments, it can also help you save money. The best way to consolidate credit card debt — and whether consolidation will work for you at all — depends on your situation, so you might want to consult a non-profit credit counselor about your best options.

"text": "What is a home equity loan? A home equity loan is a loan that is secured on your property. If you have equity in your home – the difference between your property’s value and any outstanding mortgages/secured loans – then you can borrow some or all of this equity. A home equity loan involves the lender taking a legal ‘charge’ over your home as security for the loan. This means that your home is at risk if you don’t keep up repayments on the loan. Am I eligible? Yes, if you are a homeowner and you meet the minimum age requirements (typically 18 or 21). You will also need to have some equity in your property and an income sufficient to cover your loan repayments. How much can I borrow? The amount that you can borrow depends on the equity on your home and your income."

The point is that you have a serious problem with debt and are praying for a way out. It’s not very complicated What debt relief means isn’t really very complicated. The dictionary definition of the word relief says it pretty well – ” removal or lightening of something oppressive, painful, or distressing.” If you’re seriously in debt we don’t have to tell you how oppressive, distressing or painful it can be and how much you would love to have that load of debt removed or lightened.

You can consolidate a variety of debts, including credit cards, payday and personal loans, utility bills, and medical expenses. So instead of having to send a separate payment to each creditor or collector every month, you’d make just one. This can help eliminate missed or late payments and ensure that you’re addressing all your debts. Debt consolidation loans can be a great option, not only because it streamlines monthly payments, but also because, in many situations, you may get a reduced interest rate and lower total monthly payment. There are many options to consider when deciding to consolidate your debt, some of which work better in different situations. A word to the wise, though: Debt consolidation loans aren’t for everyone struggling with debt. Determining which method will benefit you the most will involve some homework and some calculations … or a visit to a debt counselor. Table Of Contents How does this work?"

After more than 20 years of helping people with debt problems, I can say with certainty that there is too much focus on the credit report and credit score when what is being sought is debt relief. Focusing on getting out of debt with the right tools comes first. Your credit reports and credit score will heal and bounce back given time.

Consolidation provides grads with the ability to combine their student loans into one megaloan, but it comes with drawbacks. Here’s what you need to know before deciding to consolidate student loans. How it works Loan consolidation is when a borrower takes out a new loan to pay off several smaller student loans. Instead of making multiple payments to multiple lenders, the borrower only has to pay off the new consolidation loan, says Michelle Pezzulli, vice president of operations for Credit Union Student Choice, a student lending service provider in Washington, D. C.“That new loan will have its own interest rate; it will have its own repayment terms; it will have its own terms and conditions,” she says. This can be attractive to borrowers because the consolidation frequently results in longer repayment periods and lower monthly payments.

If you’re struggling with more bills arriving each month than you’re able to pay, you might consider working with a debt settlement company (which is different from a debt consolidation company, although many do both). Debt settlement companies can be helpful, but consumers should learn about how these services work before making any agreement. Here’s what you need to know to determine whether debt settlement is right for you. How does debt settlement work? Debt settlement companies approach your creditors and negotiate a plan in which each creditor agrees to cancel the loan for less than what you owe in exchange for a lump sum payment. Once this agreement is made, you pay a monthly amount to a special deposit account set up through the debt settlement company."

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy case is a proceeding under Federal law in which the debtor seeks relief from creditors. Chapter 13 allows a person to repay all or a portion of his or her debts under the supervision and protection of the bankruptcy court. Essentially Chapter 13 is a court protected repayment plan. No penalties and interest can accrue during the plan. The debtor must make regular payments to the Chapter 13 trustee, who collects the money paid by the debtor and pays out to creditors in accordance with the Chapter 13 plan. Once the Chapter 13 plan is completed, the debtor is released from liability for the remainder of his or her dischargeable debts. A Chapter 13 plan runs for 3-5 years.2.

I work for a public service organization, and I’m using the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program (PSLF). The ins and outs of PSLF can be confusing at times, but after maneuvering it for the last four years, I’ve learned a couple of things that might make using this program easier for those of you who want to take advantage. Today, I’m going to take you through the program in as easy a way to understand as possible. So get ready, we’re diving it!Here are the basics that you need to know. Your loans have to be consolidated into one Federal Direct Loan, held by the Department of Education, and that loan cannot have been in default at any point; if it has been, you’ll need to rehabilitate the loan before you can qualify for PSLF. If your loans are not consolidated, you can apply to do so here; the process will take between 60-90 days. You then have to get enrolled under a qualifying repayment plan, from which there are several to choose, and you can apply for any of those repayment plans at the same time you apply for consolidation. Lastly, you have to make 120 on-time qualifying payments. Qualifying means you’re working in public service when you make them, it’s under one of the specified repayment plans, and it’s for the full amount required under your repayment plan."

One potential option to get organized and streamline your bills is debt consolidation. Debt consolidation lets you roll several debts into one loan with a lower interest rate and longer payment term. That means you’ll pay less each month to just one lender instead of many. Compare Loan Companies and Apply Online Use our loan comparison tool to view multiple loan options from $500 to $35,000+ with no obligation. Simply enter you zip code, estimated credit rating, monthly income, and the loan amount you need to instantly view loan companies available to accept your application online right now. Zipcode Credit Rating Monthly Income Loan Amount While it’s not as drastic as debt settlement or debt management, debt consolidation has its own pitfalls that you need to be aware of. If you need help educating yourself on your debt consolidation options, you can start with the section titled “What is Debt Consolidation?” If you already know debt consolidation is the right path for you, here is a preview of the best debt consolidation loans revealed by my research: Lending Club Personal Loans.com Avant Next, I’ll dive into more detail on each company.

Bankruptcy carries with it many serious consequences and results, including a possible loss of assets such as your car and home, a negative effect on your credit report and a severe limiting of your access to credit facilities. Although bankruptcy has its positives it should be avoided, as with most problems prevention is better than a cure. The most simple and effective way of avoiding bankruptcy is to be financially sensible and to avoid living beyond your means. By being in control of your financial life you should have no problem avoiding bankruptcy. However if you are already insolvent there are alternatives to bankruptcy, these include debt consolidation, debt agreements and informal arrangements with creditors. All of these options should be considered before you decide to declare bankruptcy. How do I avoid having financial difficulties? Avoiding debt and insolvency is the best way to avoid bankruptcy; there is no secret to it just common sense and self discipline. By planning for the future and living sensibly now you should be able to avoid financial difficulties in the future."

RATCLIFFENovember 30, 2005Related TOPICSAccounting and Financial Reporting EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAMONG ENRON’S PROBLEMS WAS ITS USE of variable interest entities, which allowed it to leave significant amounts of debt off its balance sheet. In response to concern about this practice, FASB issued Interpretation no. 46 in January 2003 and a revised version in December 2003 to help companies decide whether to consolidate VIEs into their financial statements. A VIE MUST BE CONSOLIDATED INTO THE FINANCIAL statements of the primary beneficiary company when it does not have enough equity at risk or its equity investors lack any of three characteristics of controlling financial interest. The equity at risk should be sufficient for the VIE to finance its activities without additional support. A VIE’S PRIMARY BENEFICIARY TYPICALLY IS ABLE to make decisions about the entity and share in profits and losses. The primary beneficiary is the reporting entity, if any, that receives the majority of expected returns or absorbs the majority of expected losses. CPAs SHOULD RECONSIDER A DECISION ABOUT WHETHER an entity is a VIE if its situation changes so its equity investment at risk is no longer adequate, some or all of the equity investment is returned to investors or the entity undertakes additional activities, acquires additional assets or receives an additional equity investment that is at risk. THE GUIDANCE IN INTERPRETATION NO."

"text": "\"The Consumer Price Index A Way to Compare Prices in Different Years Inflation is a decline in the value of money in relation to the goods that it can buy and is a pervasive economic phenomenon. It is so pervasive that it is very difficult to compare this year’s prices to last year’s, much less compare prices over decades. Here is a graph of the buying power of $1.00 since 1938: How is the \"\"buying power\"\" of $1.00 measured? How can we compare prices of item in different years? The answer is the use of price indices such as the consumer price index or CPI. Below is a simplified explanation of how the indices are created and how we can use them. Economists choose a base year and determine the price of a \"\"bundle\"\" of goods: food, clothing, housing costs, transportation costs, services, entertainment in varying proportions. The proportions for the index we are using (CPI (U)) are Components of the CPI (U)Housing41.4%Transportation 17.8%Food 16.2%Energy 8.2%Medical Care 6.4%Apparel and Upkeep 6.1%Other 3.9%The cost of this bundle in one year is assigned an index number.

In this section we will look at another application of the Wronskian as well as an alternate method of computing the Wronskian. Let’s start with the application. We need to introduce a couple of new concepts first. Given two non-zero functions f (x) and g (x) write down the following equation. ( 1)Notice that c = 0 and k = 0 will make (1) true for all x regardless of the functions that we use. Now, if we can find non-zero constants c and k for which (1) will also be true for all x then we call the two functions linearly dependent . On the other hand if the only two constants for which (1) is true are c = 0 and k = 0 then we call the functions linearly independent.

"title": "https://www.picotech.com/library/experiment/squash-ball\nHow does temperature affect the pressure of a gas?",
"text": "How does temperature affect the pressure of a gas? Introduction The pressure law states that for a constant volume of gas in a sealed container the temperature of the gas is directly proportional to its pressure. This can be easily understood by visualising the particles of gas in the container moving with a greater energy when the temperature is increased. This means that they have more collisions with each other and the sides of the container and hence the pressure is increased. If V is a constant, the P/T will be a constant — Pressure Law where V= Volume, P= Pressure and T= Temperature. If we consider a squash ball to be the sealed container of gas, then the pressure of the gas will vary according to the pressure law. We cannot measure the pressure inside a squash ball, so we make the assumption that the bounce of the ball will be directly proportional to the pressure in the ball. By measuring the “hang time” (the time between the first and the second bounce) we can make a judgement about what is happening to the pressure inside the squash ball. The microphone on the Dr DAQ data logger will be used to measure the hang time of the squash ball. Equipment required Dr DAQ data logger connected to a PCA beaker, tripod, gauze, thermometer and heat mat A meter rule Carrying out the experiment Measure out 200 ml of iced water and check that the temperature of it is 0 °C."

"text": "\"U6an (Automotive) (OP) 5 Mar 15 16:50Dear all, Hello I'm a new guy to both this forum and engines :) I have a question (maybe a stupid one) about what is defined by Engine Load and how it affects the fuel consumption of the engine? Having found no exact definition, I assumed the Load to be dependent on the % of the Throttle being open and, thus, also dependent on the ratio of mixture volume to the full cylinder volume. WOT causes this ratio to be equal to 1 (or higher, if we have a volumetric efficiency > 100%), % of Throttle being open less than 100 causes the volume of mixture be smaller than the cylinder volume. Right? But RPM depends on the Throttle opening as well. Does it also mean that the RPM is proportional to the Engine Load? I feel I have a mess in my head. Regards, U6anivymike (Mechanical) 5 Mar 15 17:47Engine load is the power that the outside world takes away from the engine. An engine connected to nothing can have essentially no load, regardless of throttle opening or RPM. If you connect an engine to a dyno or a machine, then you can load the engine.ivymike (Mechanical) 5 Mar 15 17:51Further to the above, an engine produces more power and can therefore accommodate more load when its throttle is open wider, and less power, load, when its throttle is less open."

Mixed models Unit roots ACF and PACF plots: After a time series has been stationarized by differencing, the next step in fitting an ARIMA model is to determine whether AR or MA terms are needed to correct any autocorrelation that remains in the differenced series. Of course, with software like Statgraphics, you could just try some different combinations of terms and see what works best. But there is a more systematic way to do this. By looking at the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation (PACF) plots of the differenced series, you can tentatively identify the numbers of AR and/or MA terms that are needed. You are already familiar with the ACF plot: it is merely a bar chart of the coefficients of correlation between a time series and lags of itself. The PACF plot is a plot of the partial correlation coefficients between the series and lags of itself. In general, the \"\"partial\"\" correlation between two variables is the amount of correlation between them which is not explained by their mutual correlations with a specified set of other variables. For example, if we are regressing a variable Y on other variables X1, X2, and X3, the partial correlation between Y and X3 is the amount of correlation between Y and X3 that is not explained by their common correlations with X1 and X2."

There are three constants when working with GMAW and FCAW; arc voltage, wire feed speed, and electrode extension. Amperage is a variable that changes as the welder varies the electrode extension, so it is not a good parameter to use when setting up the machine. The welder dials in the voltage, sets the wire feed speed, and holds the gun so the proper electrode extension is attained. All is good until the welder varies the electrode extension, then the amperage drifts. The next thing you know the welder is kicking the machine and cursing that it is no good.

"text": "\"Why Does Dark Energy Make the Universe Accelerate? Posted on November 16, 2013 by Sean Carroll Peter Coles has issued a challenge: explain why dark energy makes the universe accelerate in terms that are understandable to non-scientists. This is a pet peeve of mine — any number of fellow cosmologists will recall me haranguing them about it over coffee at conferences — but I’m not sure I’ve ever blogged about it directly, so here goes. In three parts: the wrong way, the right way, and the math. The Wrong Way Ordinary matter acts to slow down the expansion of the universe. That makes intuitive sense, because the matter is exerting a gravitational force, acting to pull things together. So why does dark energy seem to push things apart? The usual (wrong) way to explain this is to point out that dark energy has “negative pressure.” The kind of pressure we are most familiar with, in a balloon or an inflated tire, pushing out on the membrane enclosing it. But negative pressure — tension — is more like a stretched string or rubber band, pulling in rather than pushing out."

[ /QUOT] Because it can't, otherwise the energy would change when traveling through different mediums which doesn't make sense. E = hf If frequency changed energy would change and the energy of light doesn't change when traveling in different mediums. But since the speed changes something has to change which is wavelength. If wavelength changes energy doesn't change because speed is also part of the equation."

"text": "Money August 22, 2013 4:10 pm Updated: September 2, 2013 6:58 pm What’s it cost to raise a child in Canada? By Staff The Canadian Press-A A+Listen OTTAWA – A prominent think tank raised eyebrows on Thursday by releasing data suggesting the financial toll of parenthood has never been lighter. Research from the right-of-centre Fraser Institute found that the cost of raising a child in Canada totalled no more than $4,500 a year per offspring, less than half of more common estimates of $10,000 or more. The research group, which studies economic and social issues from a fiscally conservative perspective, also argued the figure could be lowered even further by penny-wise parents who commit to pruning all unnecessary expenses from their child-rearing budgets. But the Institute’s research was greeted with consternation by many parents who contend the study fails to account for the rigours of modern life. The research deliberately excluded the cost of day-care, housing and extra-curricular activities, all of which are vital and costly items in most family budgets, they said. Study author Chris Sarlo said the bare-bones approach was a deliberate research decision. The cost of raising a child in this country is a controversial issue, he conceded, adding family finances are mostly subjective and therefore difficult to compare. Sarlo opted to focus only on the additional cost each child would bring to the family, leaving out expenses that may have been previously incurred by the parents such as housing and automobiles. “If we lump in costs that were going to be there anyway, . . . . . ."

Why did the Cumberland River swallow its well-established banks and sprawl across downtown, transforming Lower Broadway into a new riverfront and Wildhorse Saloon into a pool bar? The short answer to those questions is rain. Not just once-in-a-lifetime rain. Not even once-in-a-New-Testament rain. More like the only rain of its kind in recorded history — like the last rain of similar volume could have predated the Bronze Age. Experts are saying the roughly 13 inches dumped on Nashville over 48 hours during last weekend occurs, on average, once every 5,000 to 8,000 years; like an entire season packed into two sodden days of unremitting precipitation. The long answer to those questions is one whose details will be mulled by civil engineers and hydrologists for some time to come, but The City Paper spoke with a few of them about some of the broader factors that delivered a dousing unlike any Nashville has ever seen. Rain, rain, go away …Middle Tennessee wasn’t the only region getting dumped on."

Should sex work be legal? It really depends on who you ask. There are many different opinions surrounding these important questions. To better understand all sides, I spoke with 3 women who are known for speaking about the same issues, but in vastly different ways: Lexie Smith, a prevention coordinator for an anti-trafficking organization, Rachel Safeek, Duke Clinical Research Coordinator and founder of the #Fight Stigma campaign, and Mistress Matisse, a well-known blogger, columnist, and professional dominatrix. I just had 2 questions: What’s the difference between sex work and sex trafficking, and should sex work be legal? These are their answers. What’s the difference between sex work and sex trafficking? First I spoke to Lexie Smith, who says she endured years of sexual slavery at the hands of neighborhood boys beginning when she was only 10 years old.

At least 19 others are considering similar legislation.by Mike Spies· @mikespiesnyc· March 7, 2016· Updated March 8, 2016 1:38 pm EDTOn Thursday, for the second year in a row, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin pulled the emergency brake on legislation that seemed almost tailor-made to bring harm upon law enforcement. The bill in question sought to give persons over the age of 21 the right to carry concealed handguns without a permit. Later that day, flanked by police at a press conference, Tomblin, a Democrat, provided an explanation for his veto. “ When you’re [an officer] and you walk into a dangerous situation, you almost have to expect that everyone’s carrying a gun,” he said, suggesting that the likelihood of a shootout would increase if this bill became law. But the legislature would not be deterred. On Friday, the House of Delegates voted to override the veto, and on Saturday the Senate followed suit. “I can hear freedom knocking at the doors in West Virginia,” said Senator Craig Blair, a Republican who supported the bill. “ That’s exactly what this does. ”Stay Informed Subscribe to receive The Trace’s daily roundup of important gun news and analysis."

All About the Hat on French Letters â, ê, î, ô, ûLe Circonflexe ou l'Accent Circonflexe The circumflex in French is the little Chinese hat on the top of certain French vowels. The most common reason for its presence is that it usually represents a letter that has been dropped over the centuries. Usually this is the letter 's'. Knowing this will help you figure out quite a number of French words when you read them. When the Normans from Normandy, Northern France invaded Blighty (England) back in 1066 under the command of Big Bill (a.k.a William the Conqueror ... or Guillaume to his mother and friends ...) they brought the French language with them. And for the next 400 years the language of the English aristocracy (i.e. the Normans) was Norman French. They brought with them many, many thousands of words which then blended into the Anglo-Saxon language of the commmoners (English). The Old French word for hospital was hospital.

"text": "\"Hands on with Quantum Break's strange blend of gunplay and TV show By Tim Clark 2016-03-01T14:00:00.6ZComments Quantum Break is the answer to a question nobody was actually asking: “What if a game periodically made you stop and watch a 20-minute episode of the kind of sci-fi TV show that doesn’t tend to make it past its first season.” As to why Remedy has decided to provide the answer, you need to look at the game’s provenance. Quantum Break was conceived as an Xbox One exclusive, at a time when that console was still peddling the idea that it might inveigle itself between you and your cable box as the facilitator of everything watched and played in the living room. In that hypothetical—and, let’s face it, hugely optimistic—world a blend of action game and TV series made a sort of sense. So the question today is does Quantum Break’s high concept structure still make sense now that the Xbox One has all but abandoned its multimedia pipe dream and the game is coming to PC, (much to the hilarious consternation of this console owner ). My answer, having played about an hour and half at a preview event last week, is: yeah, sort of. What’s good about Quantum Break is very much the same thing that was good about Remedy’s previous games. What the studio does well is take juicy slices of pop culture—hard-boiled noir for Max Payne, Stephen King-style horror for Alan Wake—and smushes them into fun third-person action shells. Another fight breaks out at the Lazer Floyd concert. And remember that Remedy is no stranger to cutesy storytelling devices, from Max Payne’s graphic novel cut scenes to Alan Wake’s spin-off series, Bright Falls."

According to CES 2014, 4k displays are the way of the future. They’re sharper, more detailed, and will generally make our much-vaunted HD technology look like muddied nonsense in the years to come. That’s the idea anyway, and it’s an important one for any television manufacturer looking to combat cheap HD TVs with a re-invention of the high-end. 3D sure didn’t work. The current standard for HD is 1080p, measured by the number of vertical pixels. 4k measures the horizontal pixels instead, and any TV described as 4K will have a resolution of at least 3840 x 2160. The result is a picture with about 8.3 million pixels, or about four times as many as a standard HDTV."

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it comes from nonplus, meaning (as a noun) \"\" A state in which no more can be said or done; inability to proceed in speech or action; a state of perplexity or puzzlement; a standstill \"\". Originally this is just the use in English of the Latin words \"\"non plus\"\", meaning \"\"no more\"\", and used in roughly the sense of Roberto Duran's famous (if apparently apocryphal) \"\"no mas\"\".

Disclaimer ~ This Buzzle article is for informative purposes only, and should not be used as a replacement for expert medical advice. Carrying out a series of observations and asking specific questions that center around the varied forms of affect and mood (among other concepts) are used as a common tool in The Mental Status Examination (MSE). This is a standardized procedure that is used for evaluating the subject's mental and emotional functioning at the time the subject is seen by the mental health professional. Human beings use facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, hand movements, and body language to express their feelings and emotions. When these emotions are observable, they are termed as affect. One's affect would therefore include emotions like anger, euphoria, and sadness. A normal range of emotions and expressions is known as the broad affect."

Meaning of Snakes in Dreams Snakes in Dreams: Meaning and Interpretation Dreams about Snakes: Meaning, Analysis, Interpretation The interpretation of dreams about snakes depends primarily on the associations of the dreamer and how snakes are used in the dream-story. To one person, snakes are feared and loathed. Just the thought of a snake makes their skin crawl. To another person, snakes are symbols of temptation and evil. But snakes are also commonly associated with good health, virility, transformation, and the presence or blessing of God. These associations form the basis of dream symbolism. The process can be as simple as whatever comes to mind first associated with a snake. If I say “snake,” you say “____?” Of course, a lot depends on what type of snake, right?"

"text": "What Part of the Respiratory System is Affected by Asthma? Published August 3, 2012 | By Henk Asthma is a chronic condition that affects 10’s of thousands of people across the world. Although it isn’t curable it is controllable. ‘ Asthma’ is the Greek word for pant or to breath hard. The Greek’s named it ‘asthma’ because of the wheezing sound which is diagnostic of the condition. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that arises from allergies or allergic responses in the lungs and is characterized by sudden attacks of laboured breathing, chest constriction and coughing. So what part of the respiratory system does asthma affect? The respiratory system supports the oxygen needs of the body by taking in air, removing the oxygen at the level of the alveoli (air sacs) and delivering the oxygen to the blood, which then transports the life supporting oxygen around the body. This is a continual system. The air is exchanged constantly – not just when you take air in."

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

"text": "February 1, 2016What is Parsonage Turner Syndrome? By HSS Center for Brachial Plexus and Nerve Injury Definition: Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS), also known as Neuralgic Amyotrophy or brachial neuritis, is an uncommon peripheral nerve disorder. PTS typically presents with an episode of extreme pain in the shoulder region that resolves after a few days to weeks, and is followed with profound weakness and atrophy in one or more muscles of the shoulder and upper arm. Presentation: PTS typically involves the upper rather than lower arm, and on rare occasions can affect both arms. It can involve any nerve arising from the brachial plexus—a complex set of nerves above and below the collarbone that provides movement and sensation to the arm. PTS includes a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and overlaps considerably with many alternative diagnoses, which can make diagnosing PTS difficult. Cause: The cause of PTS is largely unknown, though immunologic and vascular mechanisms have been proposed. There may be several subtypes, including a genetic predisposition, an autoimmune disorder, or a mechanical mechanism that, alone or together, lead to development of symptoms. Autoimmune or Vascular Triggers More than 50% of patients with PTS report an event prior to presentation such as: infection, pregnancy, stress of surgery, or therapeutic events like vaccinations, antibiotic treatments, or immunotherapy Mechanical Many patients report development of symptoms within hours of an unusual amount of upper extremity exertion (e.g. snow shoveling after a blizzard, push-up contest, moving heavy furniture, etc. ) Genetics PTS exists most commonly as a spontaneous form, but a rare hereditary form of PTS does exist Nearly 50% of patients cannot identify a proceeding event reflecting that these variables cannot fully explain the entire story of PTS."

"text": "Isolated systolic hypertension is a situation when the upper pressure reading is above 140 mm Hg and the lower reading is less than 90 mm Hg. It is a condition in which the systolic pressure is at 140 and the diastolic pressure at 90. This condition is mainly associated with aging. As people age, the blood vessels change and it is these alterations in the vessels, which result to high blood pressure. High systolic blood pressure is a main risk factor for conditions such as stroke and heart attack. Sponsored link Pathophysiology of isolated systolic hypertension Stiffened aorta has been associated with isolated systolic pressure. Aorta is the main artery, which exits the cardiac and serves as a passage for blood flow to the whole body. When people advance in age, the vessels’ elasticity properties begin to diminish and this means that they are not able to contract and expand easily to allow natural flow of blood. This is one thing which increases stiffness of the vessels. There is elevated pressure which is created on the walls of the arteries by the flowing blood and this is what leads to increased pressure."

"text": "The human circulatory system is linked to the heart and the overall cardiovascular system. The human heart, according to the Mayo Clinic, pumps approximately 5 quarts of blood every minute. The blood carries oxygen to the vital organs and tissues of the body to keep it alive and kicking. Without proper blood flow and a healthy heart, the body is in danger of collapse. Cocaine is a central nervous system stimulant that can negatively affect the heart and circulatory system, as described by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Studies conducted at Harvard have found that even minimal use of cocaine constricts blood flow to the brain, for instance. When blood vessels constrict, the result is an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, according to the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign. It can also raise the body temperature to dangerously high levels. Increased Risk of Heart Attack The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. According to information published by the United Kingdom’s Daily Mail, cocaine may be the perfect prescription for having a heart attack."

In order to make a photograph that we can see, we have to control both the amount of light that is exposed to a photosensitive surface, be it film or a digital sensor, and also control the sensitivity of that surface to the light. In this three-part series, we will discuss light and how a camera and lens combine to control exposure. Exposure can be defined as the amount of light that falls onto the camera's light-sensitive surface. In any given scene, regardless if there is natural or artificial light being emitted, there is a measurable amount of light that illuminates your subject. This amount of light varies due to four basic factors: intensity, duration, distance between light source and subject, and modifications to the light. This is not going to be a dissertation on light, but let's touch on some basics and those four factors before talking about controlling exposure. Light is fascinating in that it behaves with the properties of both waves of energy and particles. This wave-particle duality affects the way light behaves inside and outside of a camera and lens.

Tar is a sticky black substances that when it is inhaled, gets stuck in the cilia of your throat and lungs. The body can normally get rid of it somewhat well except for that fact that cigarettes also have formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is the chemical used to preserve dead organisms (like a frog you would dissect in middle school). This causes the tar to stay stuck and preserved in your lungs and throat. Next, it contains hundred of chemicals and compounds such as rat poison and carbon monoxide (both pretty toxic stuff).

Also, to determine whether these response curves can be used to identify and quantify relative asymmetry in the pupillary light reflex between eyes in healthy volunteers with simulated afferent pupil defects (APDs) and patients with optic neuropathies. Design Comparative, observational case series and instrument validation. Participants Healthy volunteers with no known ocular disease and patients (n = 20) with various optic neuropathies noted to have relative APDs on examination. Methods Pupillary response curves of the right eye were recorded with a portable, electronic, infrared pupillometer from healthy volunteers (with and without simulated APDs) and patients with APDs while the light stimulus alternated between eyes, simulating the swinging flashlight test. Simulated APDs in healthy volunteers were created with increasingly dense neutral density filters in front of the left eye. Main outcome measures Differences in constriction amplitude, latency, and constriction velocity of the pupillary response with right eye stimulation versus left eye stimulation in both groups of subjects. Results A significant correlation between neutral density filter strength and intereye differences was seen for all measurement parameters in volunteers with simulated APDs. Depending on the measurement parameter and stimulus intensity, simulated APDs of 0.6 log units or more could be distinguished from normal responses."

The definition of Asthma; a disease of the respiratory system, sometimes caused by allergies, with symptoms including coughing, sudden difficulty in breathing, and a tight feeling in the chest (Encarta® World English Dictionary [North American Edition], 2009). Asthma is a chronic a lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. The airways of the lungs are the tubes that transport air in and out of the body. Asthma patient's airways are inflamed and sensitive to certain substances. When the airway reacts to these substances the muscles in the airway start tightening and narrowing the airway and prevents the normal amount of air to the lungs. Cells in the airway will start to produce thick mucus that causes more narrowing and that also prevents airflow to the lungs (NHLBI, 2008, para.4). The inflammation and narrowing worsens, breathing becomes more labored and less oxygen is able to pass through, this is called an asthma attack also called a flare up or exacerbation.5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

What The constriction of the lumbar spinal canal, like constriction of the cervical spinal canal, is not uncommon and can then give rise to symptoms.2. Cause The spinal column can show signs of wear, particularly in the elderly. Wear is a normal ageing phenomenon that occurs in everyone, even if the degree to which it occurs varies individually. This wear, also called osteoarthritis, is found in various joints such as the hip or the knee. As a reaction to osteoarthritis, the vertebral bone proliferates and it becomes thicker, mainly in the vertebral joints where thick ridges develop. This may occur at one level, for example C5/6, but often does so at multiple levels, from C2 to TH1. Obviously, the ridges narrow the spinal canal and can compress the spinal cord because of this. They can also constrict the openings where the nerve roots emerge from the spinal canal."

For reading body language this is quite useful as looking at people's eyes are a normal part of communication (whilst gazing at other parts of the body can be seen as rather rude). When a person wears dark glasses, especially indoors, this prevents others from reading their eye signals. It is consequently rather disconcerting, which is why 'gangsters' and those seeking to appear powerful sometimes wear them. Looking up When a person looks upwards they are often thinking. In particular they are probably making pictures in their head and thus may well be an indicator of a visual thinker. When they are delivering a speech or presentation, looking up may be their recalling their prepared words. Looking upwards and to the left can indicate recalling a memory. Looking upwards and the right can indicate imaginative construction of a picture (which can hence betray a liar). Be careful with this: sometimes the directions are reversed -- if in doubt, test the person by asking them to recall known facts or imagine something."

The nineteenth century was significant in Europe because it spawned or brought to the forefront revolutionary new forms of culture and theology. Among these movements were feminism, Marxism, the romantic period of music, and the impressionist period of art. Marxism has been critically acclaimed for its adherence to the popular utopian traditions of past ages and its determination to exterminate the inequities of the feudal class system. Marxism was a nineteenth century behemoth, its shadow influencing not only social and political thought but also provoking minds around the world. Critics of ideology's influence on art harangue the latter as a restrictive form of interpretation, one whose hold over art's beholder evokes themes that override those intended by the artist. However, art created in the impressionist period was created on the basis of the artist's perception, and if no one can recall exactly what the artist intended, then using ideologies of the time remains a logical basis of interpretation. Marxism promotes the involvement of all aspects of society in its ideology."

The cost estimate is the product of the cost estimating process. The cost estimate has a single total value and may have identifiable component values. A problem with a cost overrun can be avoided with a credible, reliable, and accurate cost estimate. A cost estimator is the professional who prepares cost estimates. There are different types of cost estimators, whose title may be preceded by a modifier, such as building estimator, or electrical estimator, or chief estimator. Other professional titles may also prepare cost estimates or contribute to cost estimates, such as quantity surveyors, cost engineers, etc. In the US, there were 185,400 cost estimators in 2010.

While I didn’t believe it at the time, it is safe to say that I learned the truth that building a new home costs more than you think it will. Though you may not escape the fact that you will incur unforeseen costs along the way, it is important to educate yourself beforehand on the building costs you can expect to pay. Build a little extra cushion into your budget, and stick to that budget as closely as possible. This can help to ensure that you are prepared for the burden of new construction, and that your home building experience is a pleasant one, rather than a stressful and financially precarious endeavor. Getting Started The costs of building a new home can vary widely depending on what part of the country you are in and how elaborate you want your new home to be. Things that you might not expect can add significant costs, such as complicated roof lines (multiple gables or peaks) or curves in the architecture of your home. The manner in which you approach the building process is also going to make a significant difference in what you spend. For instance, the basic process involves: Selecting a Floor Plan. You can purchase a complete floor plan online, and the prices range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars."

In today`s marketplace putting 25% down on a property is a required of most lenders. This does not include the closing costs. If you are a new investor to the multi-family arena I would suggest investing your hard earned money with a developer who is building a new community or a syndicator who finds deals and then raises the money for acquisition. There is quite a bit to know. But if you could learn from someone you invest with you can give you a very nice return, then the second time around you could have a go at it solo. com Scott Yahraus President 5727 Topanga Canyon Blvd. #"

"text": "Design Conceptual Estimates, Budgets, and Design-Build Comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between common estimating approaches Linda Candels | Jan 01, 2010Assigning costs is necessary in every stage of planning, and, ultimately, constructing a building. Sometimes, unfavorable budgets, zoning requirements, or a tricky economy might preclude a building from being constructed. However, understanding the planning process and the key differences between the various types of estimating strategies (including conceptual estimates, budgets, and design-build) will help you determine where the proposed building is in its planning cycle — and help you make a more informed decision about your participation in the project. Conceptual estimates, budgets, and design-build estimating all involve assigning a monetary value to a construction project. Conceptual estimates and budgets may or may not result in a building being constructed, while design-build estimates are much more likely to do so. Because they're all based on varying degrees of information, the following three distinct estimate types each have their own characteristics and should be bid in different ways. Conceptual estimates The description of a conceptual estimate can range from a feasibility study, which carries ±20% margin of error with regard to the actual project cost, to a complex conceptual design estimate, which only carries a ±6% margin of error. Typically, conceptual estimates happen before a specific approach is decided for the project. Conceptual estimating is part art and part science. The estimator has to have a “big picture” view, looking for long-range solutions rather than shortsighted projections."

"text": "Real Estate Appraisal Real estate appraisals are used by sellers, buyers, and their lenders. Sellers want to ensure that their sale price is not less than the property's worth. Buyers, and particularly their lenders, want to ensure that the property is worth at least the purchase price. Indeed, most real estate sales contracts provide a provision allowing the buyer to back out of the sales agreement without penalty if the real estate appraisal is less than the purchase price. Moreover, lenders will limit any loan amounts to buy the property to a percentage of its appraised market value, not its purchase price. A real estate appraisal is an independent estimate of the value of a parcel of real estate by an appraiser using approved, standardized methods. In many states, appraisers are required to be licensed. However, appraisals are opinions and will vary with the appraiser. The appraisal report is a detailed listing of the appraisal that is usually done for the lender of the property, or by the owner, usually to establish a selling price. Most appraisal reports are based on preprinted forms, such as the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report ( Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (Uniform 1004), Actual Report ), that comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ( USPAP) guidelines and are required by federal agencies that may be involved in the sale of the property, such as a federal bank lending money for the property."

"text": "\"by Michael Stone The following list are some (but not all) of the major reasons that a contractor in a construction related business should not do Cost Plus or Time & Material contracts or billing to their customers. There are two major reasons construction-related business owners use Cost Plus or Time & Material Contracts: Difficulty estimating jobs. Many contractors don't know or understand how to estimate, and others do not have a good estimating system in place that will allow them to accurately estimate construction projects. They default to Cost Plus because they believe these contracts will allow them to bill for all their job costs, all their overhead and make a profit. Unfortunately, this seldom happens.

"text": "\"When estimating the cost for a project, product or other item or investment, there is always uncertainty as to the precise content of all items in the estimate, how work will be performed, what work conditions will be like when the project is executed and so on. These uncertainties are risks to the project. Some refer to these risks as \"\"known-unknowns\"\" because the estimator is aware of them, and based on past experience, can even estimate their probable costs. The estimated costs of the known-unknowns is referred to by cost estimators as cost contingency. Contingency \"\"refers to costs that will probably occur based on past experience, but with some uncertainty regarding the amount. The term is not used as a catchall to cover ignorance. It is poor engineering and poor philosophy to make second-rate estimates and then try to satisfy them by using a large contingency account. The contingency allowance is designed to cover items of cost which are not known exactly at the time of the estimate but which will occur on a statistical basis.\"\" [ 1]The cost contingency which is included in a cost estimate, bid, or budget may be classified as to its general purpose, that is what it is intended to provide for.

"text": "Rail Construction Costs I wanted to have a look at prospects for rail to Chadstone and Monash Uni in this post, but Eddington has inconvenienced me somewhat. He came up with some outrageous cost estimates for rail construction – far higher than the Northern Central City Corridor Study figures I’ve been using for costing projects like a north-south tunnel and airport line. Clearly, I can’t go on using the NCCCS figures over the Eddington ones just because I like the fact they are lower – ultimately they are both theoretical studies and it would be poor form to rank one above the other without good reason. So I’m going to take a more empirical approach, and look at the costs of two new Australian rail projects – the Mandurah rail line in Perth and the Epping-Chatswood line in Sydney. Mandurah opened a few months ago and Epping-Chatswood should open in a few months, so the cost structures facing these projects should be broadly similar to those in Melbourne. This should give a more accurate picture of what new rail projects will cost. The NCCCS Estimates The NCCCS, released in 2002, costs double track surface rail at$1.9m/km, overhead at $0.8m/km and signalling at $0.8m/km. That’s basically $3.5 million per kilometre of railway in 2001 dollars. Indexed to 2007 dollars, the cost is $4.12 million per kilometre for above ground double track rail, assuming no property acquisition. Stations are not included."

You will have a bid or negotiated contract that will include a percentage for the contractor’s overhead and profit. If you have requested a cost breakdown from your contractor you will likely see a percentage for their markup or profit. What you probably won’t see is the markup for materials purchased and for material and labor costs as well as the overhead and profit for any trades or subcontractors awarded work by a general contractor for your project. You also will not see what the contractor paid for materials he’s bought in bulk and taken from his inventory to use on your project. Nobody expects a contractor to work for free, if they did, they wouldn’t be in business for long and we’d be doing a lot more new construction and renovation work. Before signing a contract it helps to have a clear understanding of what you are really paying for and gives you a basis for negotiation. What’s included in Construction Overhead? Construction overhead costs are basically a percentage of the general contractor’s operating expenses charged to your project."

Related to contempt of court: civil contempt Contempt An act of deliberate disobedience or disregard for the laws, regulations, or decorum of a publicauthority, such as a court or legislative body. Individuals may be cited for contempt when they disobey an order, fail to comply with a request,tamper with documents, withhold evidence, interrupt proceedings through their actions or words, or otherwise defy a public authority or hold it up to ridicule and disrespect. The laws and rulesgoverning contempt have developed in a piecemeal fashion over time and give wide discretion to judges and legislative leaders in determining both what constitutes contempt and how it is punished. Contempt of Court Contempt of court is behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice, and dignity of the court. Contempt charges may be brought against parties to proceedings; lawyers or other court officers or personnel; jurors; witnesses; or people who insert themselves in a case, such as protesters outside a courtroom. Courts have great leeway in making contempt charges, and thus confusion sometimesexists about the distinctions between types of contempt. Generally, however, contempt proceedingsare categorized as civil or criminal, and direct or indirect. Civil contempt generally involves the failure to perform an act that is ordered by a court as a means to enforce the rights of individuals or to secure remedies for parties in a civil action."

"text": "Breach and Enforcement of Separation Agreements in North Carolina What is a separation agreement? A separation agreement is a contract between a husband and wife that states the terms under which they will live apart. In North Carolina, if the agreement deals with property issues the full legal name of such a document is a “Separation Agreement and Property Settlement.” You can see a sample here. The agreement can govern issues such as spousal and child support, child custody, and the division of the couple’s property. A separation agreement can resolve all of the legal issues that would otherwise be decided by a judge. The only thing a separation agreement can’t do is grant the actual divorce. In most other states, a judge must at least approve a separation agreement at the time the divorce is granted. Not so in North Carolina. With the exceptions noted below in the discussion of defenses, the parties are free to arrange things as they see fit."

Answer: If a person ordered to pay child support has an arrearage, the US State Department will not issue or renew the passport, depending on the amount owed. The gatekeeper on this matter is the US State Department. In order to obtain a passport, you must meet the requirements of the US State Department. The easiest way to address this issue is to pay off any child support arrearage, so that then the child support becomes a non-issue. Child support is considered a unique obligation and its collection is subject to a long statute of limitations. However, the law now requires that a child support collection action must be filed no later than the tenth anniversary of the child’s graduation from high school. Then, if a judgment is granted, it may be collected as any judgment. In addition, reporting a child support arrearage that is existing does not violate any Fair Debt Collection Act. Payment of arrearage may be negotiated."

A \"\"no-contact\"\" bond condition means that a defendant can not call, write, have a third party contact, or themselves physically contact the victim or any other party with whom the judge orders the defendant to have \"\"no contact\"\". It is generally placed on the bond of a defendant charged with a violent or assaultive crime who is released from jail while the charge is pending. Like all other bond conditions (e.g., not violating criminal laws, not leaving the state, appearing at future court proceedings, etc. ), any violation could cause the judge to raise or revoke the bond, in which case the defendant would remain in jail until the case is finished."

"text": "What is executive privilege and what does it mean for F&F investigation? Jun 20, 2012 11:16 am2 Follow Meredith Jessup Share Tweet As we’ve reported, President Obama is exercising his right to executive privilege to shield Attorney General Eric Holder from contempt charges and in following through with subpoena requests from the House Oversight Committee investigating the Justice Department’s Fast & Furious Mexican gunwalking scandal. Here’s a little background on the exercise of executive privilege and what this move potentially means for the continuing investigation…In the U. S. government, executive privilege is a power claimed by the president and other members of the executive branch to resist certain subpoenas and interventions by the legislative and judicial branches. Although the concept of executive privilege is not explicitly mentioned in the U. S. Constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled that it can be exercised as another form of checks and balances in the federal government. The Supreme Court ruling which confirmed the legitimacy of executive privilege came in United States v. Nixon, the 1974 case involving requests by Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox for taped conversations President Richard Nixon had with colleagues in the Oval Office. Nixon invoked executive privilege and refused to produce any records. The Supreme Court stated: “To read the Article II powers of the President as providing an absolute privilege as against a subpoena essential to enforcement of criminal statutes on no more than a generalized claim of the public interest in confidentiality of non-military and non-diplomatic discussions would upset the constitutional balance of ‘a workable government’ and gravely impair the role of the courts under Article III.” In Nixon’s case, the Court ruled that Nixon’s generalized need for confidentiality did not outweigh the public’s larger interest in carrying out criminal prosecution. In Obama’s case, the job is now up to the prosecutor to make a “sufficient showing” that the “presidential material” in question is “essential to the justice of the case.” Historically, presidents use executive privilege to sidestep open confrontations with Congress and the Courts by first asserting the privilege, then producing some of the documents requested on an “assertedly voluntary basis."

SCHLESINGER With help from MICHAEL STRAUSSLIBERTYVILLE, ILWWW. ILLINOIS-FAMILY-LAWYER. COMWHAT IS AN EMERGENCY? There is no statutory or court rule definition. Local rule 2.05 deals with the procedure and notice for an emergency motion.2.05 EMERGENCY MOTIONS A. Application for emergency relief. If emergency relief is requested, application shall be made to the assigned judge, or if unavailable, to the judge specifically assigned to sit in his stead. If neither judge is available, application shall be made to the presiding judge of the division to which the case is assigned. B. Each application for emergency relief shall be accompanied by an affidavit of the movant or movant’s attorney stating the reason for emergency relief; and, in cases where the request is without notice, except as permitted by law, said affidavit shall state what attempts have been made to notify opposing counsel or the opposing party. Failure to attach said affidavits to the request for emergency relief may be grounds for denial of the motion. C. Every complaint or petition requesting an ex parte order for the appointment of a receiver, temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or any other emergency relief, shall be filed in the Office of the Circuit Clerk, if during court hours, before application to the court for the order."

"text": "The divorce attorneys and family lawyers of Coleman Legal Group, LLC have extensive experience in Georgia child custody modification issues. If you are facing a child custody modification case, this is not a time to gamble away one of the most crucial times of your life with inexperienced and untested attorneys. Call us now at 770-609-1247 to speak with an experienced Georgia child custody modification attorney. Child custody modifications are granted with considerations to what is in the best interest of the child (ren) in terms of custodial arrangements. In order to file for a modification of child custody both of the parties involved will have to file either jointly or separately a parenting plan. The parenting plan for the modification of custody should include: a parenting schedule, decision making authority, transportation during visitation, and communication/types of communication during visitation. Modifications of child custody can occur in numerous circumstances and are generally granted due to necessity or a significant change that must affect the child’s best interest. A modification of child custody may only take place in the event of family circumstance change and may be heard before a two year waiting period if the circumstance in question is considered an emergency. Please that modifications to the amount or type of parenting time are not considered a part of a child custody modification and these types of modifications may be made once in a two year period immediately following a final order in a case- this does not require a change in circumstances. Reasons why a child custody modification may be granted can be varied but may result from, a change of residence by either parent that may be harmful to the child, a child of the age of 14 choosing to change residence with a non-custodial parent, or any situation that may not be in the child’s best interest involving a parent exposing children to an inappropriate accommodation, living situation, mental health condition, safety issues, illegal substances, or cohabitation with unmarried or random individuals."

"text": "\"Produced by Massachusetts Law Reform Institute Last Updated December 2017Can the court order my child's other parent to pay child support if the other parent is in jail? Yes. But if the other parent is in jail and does not have enough income or assets to pay support the judge does not have to order the amount on the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet. If I am on welfare, and the Department of Revenue has the right to get child support for me, will they do it even if the other parent is in jail? Yes. When you are on welfare, you give the right to collect child support to the Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Division. They will go ahead and get a child support order unless you have given them \"\"good cause\"\" not to. An example of \"\"good cause'' is when the other parent has been violent to you. DOR treats cases where the other parent is in jail the same as other cases. What if there already is a child support order, but the other parent goes to jail?"

"text": "\"Courts Uphold Criminal Penalties for the Failure to Pay Child Support1/1/2008Table of Contents Q & AAbout This NCSL Project Additional Resources Contact Meghan Mc Cann Note: This document is maintained on the NCSL website for reference purposes ONLY. The information is current as of 2008 and this document is not being updated. By Teresa A. Myers In the past 20 years, both state and federal courts have examined the issue of whether parents who are seriously delinquent on their child support payments may be jailed for their failure to support their children. Nearly half of the state supreme courts and at least 10 of the 11 federal circuit courts of appeals have heard cases concerning criminal penalties for failure to pay child support. As legislators and other policymakers debate the value and appropriateness of criminal sanctions for nonsupport, a review of the court holdings from state supreme courts and high level federal courts offers a legal perspective to the policy discussions in this area. Below, we examine some of the most commonly asked questions and how the courts have answered them. Q. Why are states and the federal government using criminal penalties for delinquent child support obligors? A. State and federal laws aimed at criminally penalizing parents for not paying child support are gaining backing for several policy reasons. First, child support experts and state policymakers are detecting fundamental differences among parents who are delinquent in child support - dividing them into \"\"can't pay\"\" and \"\"won't pay\"\" parents. While millions of dollars nationwide are being invested into programs to help the very low-income \"\"can't pay\"\" parents, states are developing more aggressive enforcement tools to pursue the \"\"won't pay\"\" parents who simply refuse to acknowledge their child support obligation, despite having the financial resources to do so."

"text": "\"Definition“Indirect contempt of court” is the violation of a court order outside the immediate presence of the court. It may be either civil, or criminal. A charge of \"\"Criminal Indirect Contempt of Court\"\" is a criminal charge. Defendants charged in this manner are afforded all the usual privileges of other criminal defendants, like the right to a trial by jury, to examine, and to call, witnesses, and to testify on one's own behalf. In contrast, civil contempt is not a criminal charge. Civil contempt of court is used to coerce a party to perform an action. When discussing civil contempt, commentators often use the phrase \"\"the contemnor has the key to the cell in his own pocket\"\". What this means is that the contemnor will be punished for only so long as they refuse to perform the action required of them by the court. Once the contemnor performs that action, they will be immediately released from whatever sanction the court has imposed.

What does this mean, and is there really a difference? Contiguous United States: Definition Although the two words look similar, there is an important difference in their geographical meanings. The dictionary definition of \"\"contiguous\"\" refers to two items that are \"\"touching\"\" or \"\"sharing a border,\"\" according to Merriam-Webster. So how is it used geographically? When it comes to the United States, \"\"contiguous\"\" refers to all of the states that touch one another, without another country or a body of water coming between them. All of the United States are contiguous except for two: Alaska and Hawaii. The others are sometimes also referred to as the \"\"lower 48\"\" states or \"\"conterminous\"\" United States. If the rules of the giveaway you want to enter say that entry is open to residents of the contiguous United States, they mean that residents of every state except Alaska and Hawaii are allowed to enter.

Because states create districts, they must decide how district lines will be drawn. In many states, the state legislature draws the districts and openly does so in order to influence the likely partisan makeup of the legislature, discourage electoral competition and/or generally hurt their political enemies and help their friends.

These methods include the arithmetic mean, the median, and the mode. The most commonly calculated measure of central tendency is the arithmetic mean - or simple average - and it is calculated by adding a group of numbers together and then dividing by the count of those numbers. For example, the average of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, and 10 is 30 divided by 6, which is 5. To make it easier to measure central tendency, Excel has a number of functions that will calculate the more commonly used average values. These include: The AVERAGE function - finds the arithmetic mean for a list of numbers The MEDIAN function - finds the median or middle value in a list of numbers The MODE function - finds the mode or most commonly occurring value in a list of numbers The AVERAGE Function's Syntax and Arguments Find the Arithmetic Mean or Average with the Excel Average Function. © Ted French A function's syntax refers to the layout of the function and includes the function's name, brackets, comma separators, and arguments.

The term Excel Objects (collectively referred to as the Excel Object Model) refers to the entities that make up an Excel workbook, such as Worksheets, Rows, Columns, Cell Ranges, and the Excel Workbook itself. Each object in Excel has a number of Properties, which are stored as a part of that object. For example, an Excel Worksheet's properties include the Worksheet's Name, Protection, Visible Property, Scroll Area, etc. Therefore, if during the execution of a macro, we wanted to hide an Excel worksheet, we could do this by accessing the Worksheet object, and altering the 'Visible' property. Excel VBA has a special type of object, called a Collection. As the name suggests, a Collection refers to a group (or collection) of Excel objects. For example, the 'Rows' collection is an object containing all the rows of a Worksheet. Accessing Excel Objects The main Excel Objects can all be accessed (directly or indirectly) from the 'Workbooks' object, which is a collection of all the currently open Workbooks. Each 'Workbook' object contains the 'Sheets' object (consisting of all the Worksheets and Chart sheets in the Workbook), and in turn, each 'Worksheet' object contains a 'Rows' object (consisting of all Rows in the Worksheet) and a 'Columns' object (consisting of all Columns in the Worksheet), etc."

Ted Frenchby Ted French Updated May 18, 2017Formulas in spreadsheet programs such as Excel and Google Spreadsheets are used to perform calculations or other actions on data entered into the formula and/or stored in program files. They can range from basic mathematical operations, such as addition and subtraction, to complex engineering and statistical calculations. Formulas are great for working out “what if” scenarios that compare calculations based on changing data. Once the formula is entered, you need only change the amounts to be calculated. You don’t have to keep entering “plus this\"\" or “minus that” like you do with a regular calculator. Formulas Start With the = Sign In programs such as Excel, Open Office Calc, and Google Spreadsheets, formulas begin with an equal ( = ) sign and, for the most part, they are entered into to the worksheet cell (s) where we want the results or answer to appear. For example, if the formula =5 + 4 - 6 was entered into cell A1, the value 3 would appear in that location.

The second presents many of the basic principles that determine when conditioning will occur, and whether it will be excitatory or inhibitory . The third discusses important exceptions to these principles, and examines the complex interactions that can arise from the presence of multiple stimuli during various phases of acquisition. Finally, the fourth section briefly examines several alternative accounts of the type of an association that can form, and introduces Rescorla's definition of Classical Conditioning. I. Background: Ivan Pavlov's Discovery Of Classical Conditioning Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) was an award-winning scientist in Russia who was interested in the study of digestion. In fact, in 1904, his experiments on the physiology of digestion earned him the Nobel Prize. In the course of conducting his studies, he made an important observation. It was a simple observation, and if you have pets at home, you may have made a very similar observation, as had many people before Pavlov. But the difference was that Pavlov understood the significance of what he had seen."

( 1) The term “employer” means any business enterprise that employs - (i) 100 or more employees, excluding part-time employees; or (ii) 100 or more employees, including part-time employees, who in the aggregate work at least 4,000 hours per week, exclusive of hours of overtime. Workers on temporary layoff or on leave who have a reasonable expectation of recall are counted as employees. An employee has a “reasonable expectation of recall” when he/she understands, through notification or through industry practice, that his/her employment with the employer has been temporarily interrupted and that he/she will be recalled to the same or to a similar job. The term “employer” includes non-profit organizations of the requisite size. Regular Federal, State, local and federally recognized Indian tribal governments are not covered. However, the term “employer” includes public and quasi-public entities which engage in business ( i.e., take part in a commercial or industrial enterprise, supply a service or good on a mercantile basis, or provide independent management of public assets, raising revenue and making desired investments), and which are separately organized from the regular government, which have their own governing bodies and which have independent authority to manage their personnel and assets. ( 2) Under existing legal rules, independent contractors and subsidiaries which are wholly or partially owned by a parent company are treated as separate employers or as a part of the parent or contracting company depending upon the degree of their independence from the parent. Some of the factors to be considered in making this determination are (i) common ownership, (ii) common directors and/or officers, (iii) de facto exercise of control, (iv) unity of personnel policies emanating from a common source, and (v) the dependency of operations.

"text": "\"The tutorial explains how to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF formulas with multiple criteria in Excel based on AND as well as OR logic. You will find a number of examples for different data types - numbers, dates, text, wildcard characters, non-blank cells and more. Of all Excel functions, COUNTIFS and COUNTIF are probably most often mixed up because they look very much alike and both are purposed for counting cells based on the specified criteria. The difference is that COUNTIF is designed for counting cells with a single condition in one range, whereas COUNTIFS can evaluate different criteria in the same or in different ranges. The aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate different approaches and help you choose the most efficient formula for each particular task. Excel COUNTIFS function - syntax and usage How to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria Count cells with multiple criteria (AND logic)Count cells with multiple criteria (OR logic)Count numbers between X and YHow to use cell references in COUNTIF and COUNTIF formulas COUNTIFS with wildcard characters Count dates with multiple criteria Excel COUNTIFS function - syntax and usage As already mentioned, the Excel COUNTIFS function is purposed for counting cells across multiple ranges based on one or several conditions. The COUNTIFS function is available in Excel 2016, 2013, Excel 2010, and Excel 2007, so you can use the below examples in any Excel version. COUNTIFS syntax The syntax of the COUNTIFS function is as follows: COUNTIFS (criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…)criteria_range1 - defines the first range to which the first condition ( criteria1) shall be applied, required.criteria1 - sets the condition in the form of a number , cell reference , text string , expression or another Excel function, required. The criteria defines which cells shall be counted and can be expressed as 10, \"\"<=32\"\", A6, \"\"sweets\"\".

The only way to work sometimes, in these scenarios, is to set Calculation mode to Manual, and after making all of your entries / amendments, press F9 to force the calculation sequence just once. As a result, my personal preference is to keep away from these volatile functions altogether, and seldom have I not been able to find a way to achieve the same as Offset (), for example, by using a combination of Index () with either Match () or Counta (). However, for small sheets I was playing around recently with Data Validation, using Tables to hold the validation lists, and I found a scenario in which Indirect () can be used to great effect. Using Tables The advent of Tables in Excel 2007 as a successor to the List object of Excel 2003, and its subsequent further development in Excel 2010 and 2013, means that where possible, I always use Tables now as opposed to ordinary lists of data. The only exception is where I want my column headings to be dynamic, and based upon a formula, rather than typed text, and this is not allowed with Tables. With Tables, you can have as many as you want on the same worksheet. This being the case, you can have your data validation entries in a series of single column tables on a sheet, as opposed to having them as separate columns in a single Table. Single Table The Table above has been set up as a single table with a size of $D$7:$R$18, but this will of course adjust if we add more rows and/ or columns."

The sun illuminates approximately half of the earth's surface, but since the earth is constantly turning, we divide the earth into twenty-four time zones; one for each hour of the day. Some time zone boundaries zigzag so that people living in one region or country can have the same time.advertisement Until the nineteenth century, each city kept local time. Clocks were not often very accurate, but they could be synchronized, or matched, with a sundial. Railroad engineers created the first time zones in Great Britain. Railroad would use the same tracks to send trains in different directions so an inaccurate clock could cause a disaster. A Canadian named Sanford Fleming first proposed the idea of universal time zones; by 1900, most nations began to use what became known as “standard time. ”The time along the prime meridian in Greenwich, England, is known as Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT. People communicating across two different parts of the globe often use Greenwich Mean Time. The east coast of the United States is five time zones behind GMT, so if it is midnight in Greenwich it is 7:00 p.m. in Florida."

A contour interval is the vertical distance or difference in elevation between contour lines. Index contours are bold or thicker lines that appear at every fifth contour line. If the numbers associated with specific contour lines are increasing, the elevation of the terrain is also increasing. If the numbers associated with the contour lines are decreasing, there is a decrease in elevation. As a contour approaches a stream, canyon, or drainage area, the contour lines turn upstream. They then cross the stream and turn back along the opposite bank of the stream forming a \"\"v\"\". A rounded contour indicates a flatter or wider drainage or spur. Contour lines tend to enclose the smallest areas on ridge tops, which are often narrow or very limited in spatial extent. Sharp contour points indicate pointed ridges."

Much like any other type of survey, a topographic survey, or topo survey for short, is done to locate natural and man-made features on a particular parcel of land. This is sometimes called planimetric features or things you can see from a plan view as if you were hovering over the site. The topo survey is different in that the elevation of the surface of the land is surveyed and represented on the resulting map of the survey. The topo survey usually also includes any man-made underground features, like utility lines. The survey will also show above ground improvements like buildings, utility poles, retaining walls, etc. The elevation or differences in elevation on the surface is usually shown as contours. A contour line is a line that connects points of equal elevation. There is usually a contour interval set, say 1-foot for conventional survey. An aerial topo survey may have a contour interval of 2-foot to 5-foot typically."

In contrast to homophony, emphasis is placed upon the interplay between lines rather than on a single melody or a stream of chord sounds. The interplay of contour, motives, continuity features, and rhythms are important factors in polyphonic texture. Rhythmic Strata Rhythmic stratification, also called layers, results when two or more voices move at different but closely related levels of rhythmic activity. One voice may contain mostly quarter notes while another contains eighth notes. This is somewhat like different parts of a machine moving at different but related speeds. Layering is an important feature of polyphonic texture. Roles of Voices;In polyphony, all the voices may be equally important—or one voice may be more prominent than the others. Voices may join in couplings or conversation-like exchanges, a polyphonic feature present in most of Bach's chorales."

( Photo courtesy USGS)by Matt Rosenberg Updated March 06, 2017Topographic maps (often called topo maps for short) are large scale (often greater than 1:50,000) maps that show a wide range of human and physical features of the Earth. They are very detailed maps and are often produced on large sheets of paper. The First Topographic Map In the late 17th century, French finance minister Jean Baptiste Colbert hired surveyor, astronomer, and physician Jean Dominique Cassini for an ambitious project, the topographic mapping of France. He [Colbert] wanted the kind of maps that indicated man-made and natural features as determined by precise engineering surveys and measurements. They would portray the shapes and elevations of mountains, valleys, and plains; the network of streams and rivers; the location of cities, roads, political boundaries, and other works of man. ( Wilford, 112)After a century of work by Cassini, his son, grandson, and great-grandson, France was the proud owner of a complete set of topographic maps -- the first country to have produced such a prize. Topographic Mapping of the United States Since the 1600s, topographic mapping has become an integral part of a country's cartography. These maps remain among the most valuable maps for government and the public alike. In the United States, the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for topographic mapping."

In this case your levels will not be correct. A test for checking the level is known as the two peg test. This test determines the amount of error and if an error occurs notify the technician (the level must be serviced).

A CONTOUR LINE is a line representing an imaginary line on the ground along which all points are at the same elevation. Contour lines indicate a vertical distance above or below a datum plane. Starting at sea level, normally the zero contour, each contour line represents an elevation above sea level. The vertical distance between adjacent contour lines is known as the CONTOUR INTERVAL. The amount of the contour interval is given in the marginal information. On most maps, the contour lines are printed in brown. Starting at zero elevation, every fifth contour line is drawn with a heavier line. These are known as INDEX CONTOURS."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The absolute threshold of hearing (ATH) is the minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average human ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present. The absolute threshold relates to the sound that can just be heard by the organism. [ 1] [2] The absolute threshold is not a discrete point, and is therefore classed as the point at which a sound elicits a response a specified percentage of the time. [ 1] This is also known as the auditory threshold. The threshold of hearing is generally reported as the RMS sound pressure of 20 micropascals, corresponding to a sound intensity of 0.98 p W/m 2 at 1 atmosphere and 25 °C. [ 3] It is approximately the quietest sound a young human with undamaged hearing can detect at 1,000 Hz. [ 4] The threshold of hearing is frequency -dependent and it has been shown that the ear's sensitivity is best at frequencies between 2 k Hz and 5 k Hz, [5] where the threshold reaches as low as −9 d B SPL.

This is in contrast to older cadastral surveys, which primarily show property and governmental boundaries. Topographic surveys were originally prepared by the military to assist in planning for battle and for defensive emplacements (thus the name and history of the United Kingdom's Ordnance Survey). As such, elevation information was of vital importance.

A: Quick Answer On a weather map, isobars are contour lines that connect different locations or points with the same constant pressure, while isotherms are also contour lines, which specify locations that are at the same constant temperature. The spacing between temperature contour lines are typically given in 10-degree Fahrenheit intervals. Isobar contour lines are drawn with a spacing of 4 millibars.

Full Answer On a weather map, isobars pass through different cities and separate regions that are at a lower or higher constant pressure. Similarly, the different isotherm zones can be drawn in different colors on these maps to identify zones with different constant temperatures. Isobars and isotherms are useful for weather maps because large amounts of data can be processed and analyzed for weathercasting purposes."

The basic way to calculate the rate is quite simple. You take the duration between two identical points of consecutive EKG waveforms such as the R-R duration. Take this duration and divide it into 60. The resulting equation would be: Rate = 60/ (R-R interval)A quicker way to obtain an approximate rate isto go by RR or PP interval. If it is 1 big box (0.2 secs) then the rate is 60/0.2 = 300 bpm. The rest of the sequence would be as follows.1 big box = 300 beats/min (duration = 0.2 sec)2 big boxes = 150 beats/min (duration = 0.4 sec)3 big boxes = 100 beats/min (duration = 0.6 sec)4 big boxes = 75 beats/min (duration = 0.8 sec)5 big boxes = 60 beats/min (duration = 1.0 sec)Count the number of RR intervals between two Tick marks (6 seconds) in the rhythm strip and multiply by 10 to get the bpm.

"text": "Topographic Map Contour Lines Prev NEXTHow Stuff Works Contour lines are the greatest distinguishing feature of a topographic map. Contour lines are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation, meaning if you physically followed a contour line, elevation would remain constant. Contour lines show elevation and the shape of the terrain. They're useful because they illustrate the shape of the land surface -- its topography-- on the map. Here's a cool way to understand how to interpret contour lines: Take an object like a ball or a pile of laundry, and shine a red laser pointer along the object's side. The line you see will look like a contour line on a topographic map. In order to keep things simple, topographic maps show lines for certain elevations only. These lines are evenly spaced apart. We call this spacing the contour interval. For example, if your map uses a 10-foot contour interval, you will see contour lines for every 10 feet (3 meters) of elevation -- lines at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and so on."

As with any worthy investment, a certain outlay of cash is typically required to qualify for ownership. One particular purchase option, called a contract for deed--or land contract--makes that initial down payment, and the contract terms, a little easier to manage. What Is a Contract for Deed? Identification A contract for deed is simply a document drawn up between a buyer and a seller for the purchase of a house. The seller retains ownership of the property until the house is paid off in full. There's no requirement to have a mortgage company, title company or real-estate agent involved in the transaction. Whatever terms are drawn up in the contract are legally binding. The down-payment amount, payment amounts and interest rate are all predetermined and included within the terms of the contract. Features Legal requirements for a contract for deed vary from state to state, as no federal requirements are involved."

"text": "\"After working in commercial real estate banking for nearly a decade (while running a part-time real estate investing business on the side), I've closed hundreds of real estate transactions over the course of my career. Whenever the word “financing” comes into play, there always seems to be an endless pile of paperwork and legal hoops to jump through. Everyone wants to protect themselves from liability, etc. – and while much of this documentation is good practice, it has the unfortunate side-effect of making the process seem way more confusing than it needs to be. After facilitating many of these closings myself, I started to realize something… when you peel back all the complex legal jargon and binders of paperwork, the standard closing process for a seller financed deal almost always follows the same basic steps, and when you understand what those steps are and why they're important, everything starts to make a lot more sense. Especially when a transaction involves a simpler type of property (like vacant land, for instance), with a creditworthy buyer who agrees to some basic terms – there are many cases where it's completely feasible for the seller to handle the entire closing process on their own. This is how I've handled the vast majority of properties I've sold with seller financing, and when I got the hang of how all the pieces fit together (i.e. – I understood the laws, statutes, and documentation in the state where my properties were located), I was pleasantly surprised at how much I could do on my own. Closing your own deals in-house can have SEVERAL advantages. For example: You can eliminate some of the excessive, unnecessary paperwork. You can move through the process much faster than most third-party closing agents."

"text": "Contract for Deed A Contract for Deed is sometimes called a “Land Contract”, or “Installment Sale”. This form of financing has some advantages over a Mortgage or Trust Deed primarily because of the speed in which they can be put together plus they are fairly simple to structure. But there are risks to both the prospective buyer and seller. During this “cash crunch” when banks are reluctant to lend and many buyers have recently suffered financial blows because of high unemployment resulting in their credit being less than perfect; many have jumped on the bandwagon of using a Contract for Deed. In a Contract for deed, the seller finances the sale of the property with a contract that includes the buyer agreeing to pay for the property over a period of time in installments. The seller on the other hand, remains in title (has all the benefits of ownership) and does not transfer title until the terms of the contract have been met. Typically this is payment in full of the purchase price. Because of the nature of the contract, this arrangement is often considered in the “Rent to Own” category. The seller in a Contract for Deed is referred to as the Vendor with the buyer referred to as the Vendee. However for the purpose of discussing this type of transfer of property, we refer to them as a Buyer and Seller (Borrower and Lender)."

"text": "The doctrine of consideration Posted on September 7, 2012Reply What is it? Unless a promise is made in a deed, it will not be contractually binding (though it may still give rise to legal consequences under the law on promissory estoppel, or the law of tort, or public law) unless it is supported by consideration. This is the doctrine of consideration. Most contract textbooks will trot out the following definition of when a promise will be supported by consideration, taken from the case of Currie v Misa (1875):‘A valuable consideration, in the sense of the law, may consist either in some right, interest, profit, or benefit accruing to the one party, or some forbearance, detriment, loss, or responsibility, given, suffered, or undertaken by the other’ (per Lush J). This is so wide as to be useless as a definition. For example, it won’t help you to determine whether or not the following promise is supported by consideration: A is thinking of buying a car. B tells A ‘If you buy a car, I’ll give it a free servicing every year.’ A buys a car. B’s promise played some part in A’s decision to buy a car. Whether or not A’s buying a car provided consideration for B’s promise, so as to make it contractually binding, depends crucially on whether B’s promise was made with the object of getting A to buy a car."

General Warranty Deeds In a General Warranty Deed, the seller usually gives four warranties regarding the land to the buyer. The seller warrants to the buyer that: The seller has the right to convey the real estate. The seller will defend the title to the real estate against the claims of all persons.

Compare a deed in lieu of foreclosure to a short sale. Be aware of possible tax liabilities that relate to any forgiveness of mortgage debt. Editor’s note: See the Bills.com resource Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program for an updated discussion of deeds in lieu of foreclosure and short sales. Foreclosure Alternatives Deed in lieu of foreclosure and \"\"short sale\"\" are alternatives to foreclosure. Because foreclosure is so devastating to a credit score, almost anything is better than foreclosure, and both of these alternatives result a somewhat lighter impact on a credit score, especially if you negotiate a resolution to the deficiency balance. A deed in lieu of foreclosure and a short sale are very similar but there are some key differences that depend on the details of the situation. I will compare and contrast both in just a moment.

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

"text": "“Good and Valuable Consideration”Posted on November 16, 2015 by Ken Adams The phrase good and valuable consideration is a standard feature of recitals of consideration in business contracts. You know the drill: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: So I decided to revisit, after a long absence, the meaning of good and valuable consideration. Well, I had to dig deep. You won’t find discussion of it in the obvious U. S. contracts treatises or anywhere else in the literature on contracts. The first place I found it was in Google Books, which offered me an 1834 edition of the English treatise Chitty on Contracts (with a more long-winded title). Here’s what it says: We may premise, that considerations, as they relate to deeds, are in general divided into good and valuable considerations. “ A good consideration,” says Blackstone ( o ), in speaking of a consideration for a deed or grant, “is such as that of blood, or of natural love and affection, when a man grants an estate to a near relation; being founded on motives of generosity, prudence, and natural duty. A valuable consideration is such as money, marriage ( p ), or the like, which the law esteems an equivalent given for the grant; and is therefore founded in motives of justice.” The former will not in general hold against creditors, if calculated to defraud them; the latter cannot in general be impeached ( q ). The distinction between a good and valuable consideration is this, — that a good consideration makes the instrument (a deed of conveyance, &c,) good as between the parties; but a valuable consideration makes the conveyance good against a subsequent purchaser ( r )."

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is a 'Contractionary Policy'Contractionary policy refers to either a reduction in government spending, particularly deficit spending, or a reduction in the rate of monetary expansion by a central bank. It is a type of policy or macroeconomic tool designed to combat rising inflation or other economic distortions created by central bank or government interventions. Contractionary policy is the opposite of expansionary policy. Next Up Open Market Operations - OMOTreasury General Account Contraction Accommodative Monetary Policy BREAKING DOWN 'Contractionary Policy'Contractionary policy sounds as though it is designed to slow down economic growth, although this is not the case. Instead, contractionary policies are used to slow down potential distortions, such as high inflation from an expanding money supply, unreasonable asset prices or crowding-out effects in capital markets. As such, the initial effect of contractionary policy might be a reduction in nominal gross domestic product (GDP), but the final result could be higher and more sustainable economic growth and a smoother business cycle. Perhaps the most famous use of contractionary policy took place in the early 1980s, when then-Fed Chairman Paul Volcker ended the soaring inflation of the 1970s. At their peak in 1981, target federal fund interest rates approached 20%. Measured inflation levels declined from nearly 14% in 1980 to less than 3% in 1983.

"text": "\"CREATIVE DESTRUCTION: A fundamental process of capitalism, popularized by Joseph Schumpeter, in which the benefits of growth and prosperity induced by innovations also result in the costs of disrupting existing means of production. The creation of new activity involves the destruction of existing activity. This notion attributes business-cycle instability to innovations, including both the expansionary rise of prosperity, as well as a contractionary decline. Creative destruction is based on the idea that rather than tending toward equilibrium, the economy is largely in flux. A key question is one of cause and effect. Does innovation cause destruction or does destruction induce innovation? Creative destruction is the observation noted by Joseph Schumpeter (1883-1959) that a capital istic economy is inherently driven by innovations, which are intertwined with the destruction of old parts of the economy and the creation of new. That is, the innovation of a new product triggers capital investment, economic expansion, greater employment, and enhanced living standards, but by replacing existing production workers are unemployed, factories are shut down, and firms go bankrupt. In the same way that making an omelet requires breaking a few eggs, creating new prosperity involves destroying old production. The introduction of the automobile, for example, greatly improved transportation, but also virtually destroyed the \"\"horse-and-buggy\"\" industry."

Jennifer currently earns a $2,000 paycheck each month by working at an ice cream stand. Jennifer's $2,000 has a certain amount of purchasing power, meaning that she can buy a certain amount of goods and services with it. She typically spends her $2,000 paycheck buying clothes and food. Now the economy begins to grow rapidly. Jennifer notices it because the lines have grown at the ice cream stand. The next thing she knows, her paycheck has gone up from $2,000 to $2,500 - a nice raise. Unfortunately, the enemy called inflation also begins to show up."

This refers to the amount that the Fed requires banks to have on deposit each night when they close their books. Without having this requirement, banks would loan out each and every dollar that they have. Thus, raising the federal funds rate will decrease the money supply because it is essentially better for the banks to lend a little bit less and not have to pay a higher federal funds rate.

"text": "\"Diffen › Economics Economic policy-makers are said to have two kinds of tools to influence a country's economy: fiscal and monetary. Fiscal policy relates to government spending and revenue collection. For example, when demand is low in the economy, the government can step in and increase its spending to stimulate demand. Or it can lower taxes to increase disposable income for people as well as corporations. Monetary policy relates to the supply of money, which is controlled via factors such as interest rates and reserve requirements (CRR) for banks. For example, to control high inflation, policy-makers (usually an independent central bank) can raise interest rates thereby reducing money supply. These methods are applicable in a market economy, but not in a fascist, communist or socialist economy. John Maynard Keynes was a key proponent of government action or intervention using these policy tools to stimulate an economy during a recession .

The goal of expansionary fiscal policy is to close a recessionary gap, stimulate the economy, and decrease the unemployment rate. Expansionary fiscal policy is often supported by expansionary monetary policy. An alternative is contractionary fiscal policy. Expansionary fiscal policy is designed to stimulate the economy during or anticipation of a business-cycle contraction. This is accomplished by increasing aggregate expenditures and aggregate demand through an increase in government spending (both government purchases and transfer payments) or a decrease in taxes. Expansionary fiscal policy leads to a larger government budget deficit or a smaller budget surplus. In general, expansionary fiscal policy works through the two sides of the government's fiscal budget -- spending and taxes. However, it's often useful to separate these two sides into three specific tools -- government purchases, taxes, and transfer payments.

"text": "\"KEYNESIAN ECONOMICS: A theory of macroeconomics developed by John Maynard Keynes based on the proposition that aggregate demand is the primary source of business-cycle instability and the most important cause of recessions. Keynesian economics points to discretionary government policies, especially fiscal policy, as the primary means of stabilizing business cycles and tends to be favored by those on the liberal end of the political spectrum. The basic principles of Keynesian economics were developed by Keynes in his book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, published in 1936. This work launched the modern study of macroeconomics and served as a guide for both macroeconomic theory and macroeconomic policies for four decades. Although it fell out of favor in the 1980s, Keynesian principles remain important to modern macroeconomic theories, especially aggregate market (AS-AD) analysis. Keynesian economics can be traced to the pioneering work of John Maynard Keynes (often referred to as the father of macroeconomics ). The specific event launching the modern study of macroeconomics and Keynesian economics was the publication by John Maynard Keynes of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in 1936. Keynesian economics dominated the study of economics for 40 years after it was introduced. It fell out of favor in the 1980s largely because it did not adequately explain the simultaneous occurrence of high rates of unemployment and inflation that came to be known as stagflation. Highlight of Keynesian economics include: One, Keynesian economics offers a theoretical explanation of, and a remedy for, persistent unemployment problems, especially those occurring during the Great Depression."

' An Inflationary Economy The government has delegated the authority to the central bank to oversee the supply of money in the economy in order to achieve the goals of sustainable economic growth, high employment and stable prices. In an effort to achieve these goals, the central bank constantly monitors the economy using various indicators and either adds or subtracts from the money supply. In this lesson, we'll take a closer look at an inflationary economy that is developing in the town of Ceelo and then see how the central bank uses its monetary policy tools to fight the enemy of inflation. When actual economic output is above its potential, we call this an expansionary gap, although it's sometimes referred to as an 'inflationary gap' because inflation is the central problem and the enemy that must be defeated. Let's look at it on a personal level. Suppose that last year, Lydia the factory worker earned $500 per week in take-home pay. Let's say that in a typical week, she buys one basket of food, two baskets of household products and three cases of mineral water. This year, she received a raise, and now takes home $600 per week, which sounds great, doesn't it? When Lydia got her first $600 check, a gigantic smile came across her face as she quickly imagined buying six pairs of designer jeans and a bracelet with a golden basket charm on it."

Explain and illustrate graphically how crowding out (and its reverse) influences the impact of expansionary or contractionary fiscal policy. Discuss the controversy concerning which types of fiscal policies to use, including the arguments from supply-side economics. The discussion in the previous section about the use of fiscal policy to close gaps suggests that economies can be easily stabilized by government actions to shift the aggregate demand curve. However, as we discovered with monetary policy in the previous chapter, government attempts at stabilization are fraught with difficulties. Lags Discretionary fiscal policy is subject to the same lags that we discussed for monetary policy. It takes some time for policy makers to realize that a recessionary or an inflationary gap exists—the recognition lag. Recognition lags stem largely from the difficulty of collecting economic data in a timely and accurate fashion. The current recession was not identified until October 2008, when the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that it had begun in December 2007."

Next Up Accommodative Monetary Policy Easy Money Open Market Operations - OMOQuantitative Easing BREAKING DOWN 'Monetary Policy'Broadly speaking, there are two types of monetary policy, expansionary and contractionary. Expansionary monetary policy increases the money supply in order to lower unemployment, boost private-sector borrowing and consumer spending, and stimulate economic growth. Often referred to as \"\"easy monetary policy,\"\" this description applies to many central banks since the 2008 financial crisis, as interest rates have been low and in many cases near zero. Contractionary monetary policy slows the rate of growth in the money supply or outright decreases the money supply in order to control inflation; while sometimes necessary, contractionary monetary policy can slow economic growth, increase unemployment and depress borrowing and spending by consumers and businesses. An example would be the Federal Reserve's intervention in the early 1980s: in order to curb inflation of nearly 15%, the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate to 20%. This hike resulted in a recession, but did keep spiraling inflation in check. Central banks use a number of tools to shape monetary policy."

Understand the adjustment process in the money market, the Forex market, and the G&S market. In this section, we use the AA-DD model to assess the effects of monetary policy in a fixed exchange rate system. Recall from Chapter 7 \"\"Interest Rate Determination\"\" that the money supply is effectively controlled by a country’s central bank. In the case of the United States, this is the Federal Reserve Board, or the Fed. When the money supply increases due to action taken by the central bank, we refer to it as expansionary monetary policy. If the central bank acts to reduce the money supply, it is referred to as contractionary monetary policy. Methods that can be used to change the money supply are discussed in Chapter 7 \"\"Interest Rate Determination\"\", Section 7.5 \"\"Controlling the Money Supply\"\". Expansionary Monetary Policy Suppose the United States fixes its exchange rate to the British pound at the rate Ē $/£. This is indicated in Figure 12.1 \"\"Expansionary Monetary Policy with a Fixed Exchange Rate\"\" as a horizontal line drawn at Ē $/£. Suppose also that the economy is originally at a superequilibrium shown as point F with original gross national product (GNP) level Y 1. Next, suppose the U. S. central bank (the Fed) decides to expand the money supply by conducting an open market operation, ceteris paribus."

"text": "A: Inflation occurs when an economy grows due to increased spending. When this happens, prices rise and the currency within the economy is worth less than it was before; the currency essentially won’t buy as much as it would before. When a currency is worth less, its exchange rate weakens when compared to other currencies. There are many methods used to control inflation; some work well while others may have damaging effects. For example, controlling inflation through wage and price controls can cause a recession and cause job losses. One popular method of controlling inflation is through a contractionary monetary policy. The goal of a contractionary policy is to reduce the money supply within an economy by decreasing bond prices and increasing interest rates. This helps reduce spending because when there is less money to go around, those who have money want to keep it and save it, instead of spending it. It also means that there is less available credit, which can also reduces spending. Reducing spending is important during inflation, because it helps halt economic growth and, in turn, the rate of inflation."

"text": "What causes the aggregate demand curve to shift? The determinants of aggregate demand Labels: aggregate supply and demand , macroeconomics Aggregate demand is determined by the Y=C+I+G+NX equation, so consumption expenditures, investment expenditures, government purchases, and net exports will determine the aggregate demand curve. Remember that an increase in any of these variables as a result of an increase in GDP is already controlled for in the aggregate supply and aggregate demand graph because real GDP is on the X axis. Therefore, to have a shift in our aggregate demand curve, we need to have something fundamentally change in consumption, investment, government, or net exports. Below is a table that shows some different examples that will cause shifts in the aggregate demand curve: Increase in AD Decrease in ADHouseholds and firms have high expectations for the future growth Households and firms have low expectations for the future growth The government increases spending, or reduces taxes The government reduces spending, or increases taxes The federal reserve lowers interest rates The federal reserve increases interest rates More exports (weaker currency, or faster world GDP growth) More imports or less exports (stronger currency or faster domestic GDP growth)The factors that can shift the aggregate demand curve can be summarized as:1) A change in expectations for either firms or households.2) A change in government policy.3) A change in international variables. Examples that could change household expectations would be ( a change in C ): A change in consumer confidence, meaning that consumers are more confident/worried and this causes them to buy more/less which shifts the AD curve right/left. A change in wealth or expected future income: the more money an individual has, or expects to get, the more they are likely to spend, thus shifting AD right. The inverse is also true, such as when the stock market crashes, wealth is lost and people tend to spend less shifting AD left. A change in firm’s expectations could be ( a change in I ): High expectations for economic growth in the future could cause firms to invest now, shifting AD right. The government can use two types of policies to shift the aggregate demand curve, fiscal and monetary policy (a change in G ): Fiscal policy involves changing taxes and government spending."

"text": "Fiscal Policy In order to learn and understand fiscal policy or monetary policy it is important to whether an economy, no matter where it may be in the world, can self regulate, or whether it needs an outside influence in order to adjust. This is where Classical and Keynesian economics will come into play. If you are of the Keynesian school of thought, you believe that the economy needs your influence in order to correct itself. This correction can be in the form of fiscal policy. Fiscal policy can be defined as government�s actions to influence an economy through the use of taxation and spending. This type of policy is used when policy-makers believe the economy needs outside help in order to adjust to a desired point. Typically a government has a desire to maintain steady prices, an employment level, and a growing economy. If any of these areas are out of sorts, some type of fiscal policy may be in order. Fiscal policy can be used in order to either stimulate a sluggish economy or to slow down an economy that is growing at a rate that is getting out of control (which can lead to inflation or asset bubbles). Fiscal policy directly affects the aggregate demand of an economy."

I thought about this today but didn't ask any of my professors because I felt like I should know the answer. I know that stamped construction documents are considered legal documents and the architect takes liability for the building when he/she stamps the drawings. But my question is, where do the structural engineers come in? I know they also stamp drawings. So if a licensed structural engineer stamps a set of construction drawings, would the architect also stamp the drawings? Is it an either-or scenario where either the engineer or the architect stamps the drawings depending on the situation or are both stamps required always? And as far as the structural integrity of the building, is the architect responsible for any of it or does that responsibility fall entirely on the engineer?"

Here’s a guide: Named Insured: The Named Insured is typically, but not always, the owner and payer of the policy. This is the entity that you will see listed on the Declaration Page indicating who the policy is covering. As the Named Insured, this entity is provided the full protection as outlined in the policy. Assuming they also own the policy, they are the party that is able to request modification or cancellation of a policy.

"text": "06.15.11The success of construction lenders, owners, contractors or subcontractors may depend on how well each of them addresses project risks. This is called “risk management.” A major part of risk management is “risk allocation,” whereby a party assigns by contract the responsibility for a certain risk to another party, who will then bear that risk. Yet another part of risk management is the manner in which a party handles its assumed risk so that the possibility (and resulting cost) of the risk is minimized. Some of the most important risk management tools at a party’s disposal are the contracts into which it enters with others involved in the construction project. Within those contracts, risk is primarily allocated through indemnity and insurance requirement provisions. Managing risks can be handled not only by sound business and construction practices (such as proper preconstruction planning, proven construction means and methods, use of experienced personnel, and stringent safety programs) but also by careful contract preparation and review. What follows is a brief overview of some of the key risk allocation and risk management concepts to consider when preparing or entering into your next construction contract. Allocating Risk to the Party That Is in the Best Position to Control That Risk A fundamental risk management concept is that owners and contractors should anticipate potential project risks and determine whether it is more advantageous to accept responsibility for each risk or to allocate responsibility for that risk to another party. From a risk management perspective, it is important to assign a project risk to the party best able to control and manage it."

The major problem with Contractual Liability Coverage is its name. Before explaining that proposition, we all need to get on the same page. Contractual Liability Coverage is insurance for damage arising out of a tort, not for damage arising from breach of a contract. Yes, it covers torts, not contracts.

"text": "\"Risk Management Railroad protective liability Railroad protective liability By Donald S. Malecki, CPCUWhen a contractor is performing work for a railroad or for others where the work is on or in close proximity to the railroad's property, a railroad will likely request the issuance of a railroad protective liability policy. Usually accompanying that request will be some kind of hold harmless agreement indemnifying the railroad, in case the insurance does not apply. Both standard ISO and nonstandard railroad protective policies are available. Most such policies, which were developed jointly by the railroads and insurance industry over the years, follow the same general pattern. The coverages commonly included are: general liability, liability under the Federal Employers Liability Act (dealing with injuries to railroad employees), and damage to the railroad's rolling stock and other real and personal property. If producers are familiar with the owners and contractors protective liability (OCP) policy, they will note a basic similarity to the railroad protective liability policy. Both forms (1) are purchased by contractors for the benefit of the railroad and others, (2) apply solely to operations while in progress, (3) are site-specific—meaning that coverage applies to the location where the work is to be performed, and (4) apply on a primary basis. One of the notable differences between these two forms, however, is that the railroad protective policy covers bodily injury or property damage that arises out of the \"\"acts or omissions\"\" of the railroad or other insureds, so long as the acts or omissions are related to, or are in connection with, the work or operations performed by the contractor or any subcontractors for which the policy is issued. The primary theme of OCP coverage, on the other hand, is the vicarious (negligent) liability of the policyholders. While the connotation of the word \"\"acts\"\" is broad in scope, it does have some limitations even as respects the railroad protective policy."

Jeff Slivka Environmental March 2018Today, most CPL policies include a separate first-party coverage to minimize the insured's liability or impact on the environment. This coverage is usually referred to as emergency response cost coverage but will vary by insurer. CPL is available to any type of contractor performing operations or conducting work. From environmental or remedial contractors to general and specialty trades, CPL has become a viable financing option for environmental loss providing insurance for large or even catastrophic loss scenarios at a reasonable premium. Policies can be offered on a project or blanket program basis. Project policies provide coverage for all operations performed by the insured during the construction period and can include \"\"tail\"\" coverage (extended reporting period (ERP) for claims made policies and completed operations for occurrence policies) to address the statutes of repose in many states or other contractual requirements. Usually, a maximum term of 12–13 years is offered.

"text": "YOU A SK: What is contingent liability? WE A NSWER: Contingent liability arises when a business owner is held liable for the bodily injury, property damage or personal injury, which has been directly caused by another party the business owner happens to be in contractual relations with. Contingent liability, also referred to as indirect liability, is one of the general liability exposures that business owners face while running their company. When Contingent Liability Arises The owner of a company can be held liable for their indirect involvement in an incident resulting in bodily, personal or advertising injury, or property damage. If a third party has suffered as a result of the actions of the business owner's contractors, subcontractors, employees or agents, the business owner is likely to be held liable together with the party which has primarily been responsible for the incident. Here is a hypothetical case of contingent liability: Imagine that a big hotel chain has hired a contractor to build a hotel at a new location. Due to the building company's negligence, a random person is injured while walking past the construction site.

For your convenience, we've also included our answers to every question!1. Is the company licensed? What is the license number? If your \"\"contractor\"\" is not licensed and something goes wrong, you may have very little recourse. Professional contractors are licensed by the State of California Contractor's Licensing Bureau. If something goes wrong on your job, you can file a complaint with the Licensing Bureau. Complaints are verified and inspected. Complaints found to be valid can result in fines, suspensions or loss of license to the offending contractor. If your \"\"guy\"\" doesn't have a license, he or she has nothing to lose."

The right blend of coverage can help you limit your financial risks due to jobsite injuries, equipment damage or vehicle accidents may occur during the course of your construction project.4 Types of Risk Construction Companies Face Property damage: Damages to company property or equipment Income loss: Loss of income due to business interruption from events such as fire or severe storm damage Employee injuries: Job-related injuries, illnesses or deaths Liability risks: Injuries or property damage caused to others not associated with your company What Is Construction Insurance? Your construction insurance can make the difference between your company turning a profit or losing money on a construction project. It's important to make sure you have adequate and quality coverage. The specific coverage you choose will depend upon a number of factors, including the size of your company, the number of workers you employ, and the type of work you perform. Some of the policies you may want to consider include: General liability insurance: This critical form of coverage cover your financial risk if you are responsible for bodily injury or property damage to others. If you work in construction, general liability insurance is required in order to get a contractor's license in most states. Builders risk insurance: You can think of this as construction liability insurance. It provides coverage specifically for on-site property damage of a site under construction. This coverage varies by company, but may also cover the construction materials on site, prior to installation."

"text": "How Much Is Business Insurance for Carpenters? As you know, there are many different kinds of carpentry and each type of woodworking comes with a different amount of business risk. For example, finish and trim carpenters have less risk than other carpenters because their work is decorative and doesn't have to bear structural weight. What does this mean for your small business? It means you should work with insurance companies that understand carpentry and can help you find a policy that matches your work. That way you won't overpay for unnecessary insurance. Below, we've compiled cost estimates for three types of carpentry businesses: Carpentry services groups. Work includes maintaining and repairing interior and exterior wood components such as window frames, doors and frames, walls, floors, and ceilings. Finish and trim carpentry.

"text": "\"T Collins Logan, Worked at Public Policy Center, Many Years Researching Public Affairs Updated Mar 19, 2018 · Author has 1.4k answers and 858.8k answer views I have to say I'm pretty shocked at the misinformation posted in some of the responses to this question, but I suspect it's likely a product of deliberate campaigns waged against these ideologies by the more conservative ideologies that oppose them. I realize that this is a provocative remark, but it does have bearing on why these particular \"\"isms\"\" are not better understood in the U. S. A. So, in no particular order:1) Communism in nearly all of its historic and current manifestations has expressed itself as strong, centralized authoritarian control of the economy, industry, banking, the political system, allocation of resources, and the empowering of the working class with the aim of a \"\"classless\"\" society. Further, property of all kinds is held in common (via the state), rather than differentiated as private and public property. Marx had a much more democratic view of how such a society would operate and evolve over time (see his discussion of the Paris Commune, for example), but Lenin, Stalin, Mao and others used communist ideals as a rallying cry to take single party control of government (and the rest of society), wrestling it from the ruling elite (and workers councils and collectives) in incredibly brutal ways. I'm certain Marx and Engels would have been horrified by what these \"\"revolutionaries\"\" did, but there you have it. In any case, what differentiates communism-in-practice from other forms of socialism are these features of overbearing idealogical rigidity, effective absence of democracy, and state ownership of just about everything. Of course, because communist states had to exist within globalized capitalism, they essentially have operated via a particularly pernicious form of state capitalism, and never attained the \"\"moneyless\"\" societies initially envisioned.2) Modern non-communist forms of socialism are different in that they seek to engineer equal access to opportunities and resources for all citizens, as provided by centralized and/or distributed democratic mechanisms for managing production, rather than authoritarian state control and institutions. Likewise, there is nearly always provision made for both private and public property, and although some industries may be \"\"socialized\"\" to deliver equal baselines of necessary staples and services to everyone in that society, the compulsion to control all enterprise through the state is absent. Although there have been many forms of socialism proposed, the most common in practice is some form of democratic socialism, where other political and economic ideologies coexist with socialist ones. Really, socialism thrives in just about every modern culture, including the U. S., where the military, the postal service, national parks, interstate freeways, medicare and a host of other institutions represent a \"\"socialized\"\" model for collective benefit."

"text": "The primary caregiver fraud September 20, 2012 By P. Emeritus 51 Comments Imagine a society in which when a couple separates or divorces, it is always the father who receives custody of the children. No matter how caring the mother is, no matter how much she wants to remain part of the children’s lives and no matter how much the children want the same thing, she is cut off from them–except to whatever degree the father is willing to let her see them. All this happens, that is, unless the father is utterly dissolute–in which case the courts will then give custody to the mother. What a terrible place such a society would be! How cruel to women! How cruel to children! What a blessing we don’t live in such a society! Actually, up until sometime in the 19th century, that was the pattern in our society. The immediate reason for this system was economic: the best financial interests of the children were seen as being served by leaving them with the parent who had the financial resources–and that was the father. We might give this judicial doctrine a name."

"text": "ASC 810: A Consolidation Overview Prior to FIN 46R, now incorporated into ASC 810, consolidation was a largely mechanical process. This was because the decision of whether to consolidate or not was based on ownership percentage and was relatively simple. FIN 46 changed consolidation profoundly by introducing a new concept: control exercised through economic power. Under this concept, the ability to influence decision making and financial results through contractual rights and obligations, and exposure to risk, is considered the primary factor for consolidation (the variable interest consolidation model) and ownership percentage is secondary. I should clarify. Economic influence is the primary factor if and only if the the entity being considered for consolidation is a “variable interest entity” or VIE. If the entity is not a VIE, then ownership percentage, the so-called voting interest consolidation model, rules the day. The bummer about the variable interest consolidation model is that a company is forced by ASC 810 to evaluate virtually every relationship it has with both third parties and related, including subsidiaries. Remember, this model is an economic influence model and economic influence can come in many forms and flavors. Remember, too, that the variable interest model comes ahead of the voting interest model and, in certain circumstances, can force deconsolidation of an entity that would otherwise be consolidated under the voting interest model…even a wholly owned subsidiary (!)."

"text": "\"Recognition - Definitions of \"\"recognition\"\"All \"\"new\"\" states seek recognition from other states because recognition admits that a state has an international personality. All states have the legal duty to decide whether a \"\"new\"\" state meets certain conditions and therefore warrants being recognized. Does it have complete independence from parent and other states, exercise authority over a defined geographic area, enjoy the obedience of the great majority of its population, reveal willingness and ability to assume international obligations and duties? Express recognition may be extended unilaterally in an explicit executive statement by one state or collectively following the agreement of several states. Recognition is implied if a state undertakes some sort of intercourse with another, as in concluding treaties with it or sending diplomatic representatives to it, without, however, having recognized it, thereby revealing at least intent to recognize it explicitly at a later time. A state's imposition of demands upon a community seeking recognition is a conditional type of recognition. Contingent recognition is generally reserved for acknowledgment by a parent state that a revolution against it has succeeded—indeed, it endorses the rupture. Recognition is granted by some states if a state is admitted to an international conference (for example, China, Persia, and Siam at the Hague Conference of 1907), or to an international organization ( Ethiopia admitted to membership of the League of Nations in 1923, Syria and Lebanon admitted to the United Nations in 1945), or if a mother country grants independence to a former colony, mandate, or trusteeship. Despite much argument over precise meanings, de facto recognition seems to mean a \"\"qualified\"\" or \"\"provisional\"\" recognition that subsequently may be withdrawn, whereas de jure recognition is final and irrevocable, indicates the legitimacy of title, and signifies closer political ties than de facto recognition. The phrase \"\"de facto\"\" has caused confusion because it has been applied indiscriminately in constitutional and international law and also with respect to recognition."

We loved each other and agreed to marry, but we were so busy to have the legal process timely done and most importantly we found no need to do that. We’ve just thought each other as husband and wife and so do our friends and families. While living together, he ran an Internet business and made a quite large profits from there. I took care of every housework and sometimes I helped his business work, too. But, recently I found he had cheated on me. I was so shocked and got separated from him.

"text": "\"Substantial Investments - Banks and bank holding companies Alternative Formats PDF, 686 k BType of Publication: Advisory 1Category: Regulatory & Legislative Issued: October 2003No: 2003 - 05Introduction: This Advisory provides an overview of how the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) administers and interprets the substantial investment regime for banks and bank holding companies (BHCs) set out in the Bank Act (Act). Since the investment rules for banks and BHCs are essentially the same, the word “bank” in this Advisory includes a BHC, unless otherwise stated. A table of concordance setting out the corresponding provisions for banks and BHCs is included at the end of this Advisory. In this Advisory, the acronym REmeans “regulated entity”: an entity referred to in any of paragraphs 468 (1) (a) to (j) of the Act – i.e., a federal financial institution, a bank holding company, an insurance holding company, or a provincial or foreign regulated financial institution;FREmeans “federally-regulated entity”: an entity referred to in any of paragraphs 468 (1) (a) to (f) – i.e., a federal financial institution, a bank holding company or an insurance holding company;PFFImeans “provincial or foreign financial institution”: an entity referred to in any of paragraphs 468 (1) (g) to (j); and468 (2) entitymeans an entity whose business is limited to one or more of the activities referred to in any of paragraphs 468 (2) (a) to (f). Legislative References: Part IX – Investments, sections 464 to 484 of the Act Part XV, Division 9 – Investments (BHCs), sections 925 to 948 of the Act Exemption from Restrictions on Investments (Banks and Bank Holding Companies) Regulations Minority Investment (Banks) Regulations Minority Investment (Bank Holding Companies) Regulations Specialized Financing (Banks) Regulations Specialized Financing (Bank Holding Companies) Regulations Permitted Substantial Investments: Except as permitted under the Act, a bank may not acquire control of, or a substantial investment in, another entity. The term “substantial investment” is defined in section 10 of the Act. In essence, a bank has a substantial investment in a body corporate if the aggregate of the voting rights attached to any of the voting shares of the body corporate beneficially owned by the bank and any of its subsidiaries exceeds 10 per cent of the voting rights attached to all of the outstanding voting shares of the body corporate, or if the aggregate of any shares (voting and non-voting) of the body corporate beneficially owned by the bank and any of its subsidiaries represents ownership of greater than 25 per cent of the shareholders' equity of the body corporate. A bank has a substantial investment in an unincorporated entity if the aggregate of any ownership interests beneficially owned by the bank and its subsidiaries exceed 25 per cent of all the ownership interests into which the entity is divided. The word “control”, as defined in section 3 of the Act, includes both “de jure” and “de facto” control. For purposes of the Act, an entity is a subsidiary of another entity if it is controlled by the other entity."

"text": "T his term, the Supreme Court is highly likely to decide the constitutionality of same-sex marriage bans. Such bans still stand in the way of same-sex unions in 14 states, and have aroused passionate opposition. However, the fate of these laws might not rest on moral arguments for equality. Instead, their constitutionality may be determined by a relatively dry legal issue: the level of scrutiny that laws which differentiate on the basis of sexual orientation should receive under the 14th Amendment. What is legal scrutiny, and why does it matter? The Equal Protection Clause (EPC) of the 14th Amendment declares that “No State… shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” This guarantee of equal protection is one of the most profound and important statements in the American Constitution. Groups frequently dispute laws on basis of the EPC, arguing that a particular statute which explicitly treats two groups differently is unconstitutional. The success or failure of such attempts, though, often rests on certain judicial rules regarding the implementation of the EPC. One set of these rules regards the level of judicial “scrutiny” laws receive when they are challenged as discriminatory on the basis of the EPC. “"

"text": "How To ›Car Tech From Car Cigarette Lighter To 12V Accessory Socket Living With the De Facto 12V DC Power Socket Share Pin Email Print Cigarette lighters have become the de facto 12V sockets in cars, boats, and elsewhere. Claire H Cohen Photographyby Jeremy Laukkonen Updated February 11, 2018The 12V socket, also known variously as a car cigarette lighter or 12V auxiliary power outlet, is the primary method by which power is delivered to portable electronics in cars, trucks, boats, and in a handful of other contexts. While these sockets were originally designed to heat up cigarette lighters, they quickly gained popularity as a de facto automotive electrical outlet. Today, it is possible to power anything from a cutting-edge phone or tablet computer to a tire compressor with the same exact socket that was once used only as a car cigarette lighter. Some vehicles come with multiple sockets for the express purpose of powering multiple accessory devices, although it is uncommon for more than one to be capable of accepting a cigarette lighter. Accordingly, the specifications for these power sockets that are contained in ANSI/SAE J563 include two variants: one that works with cigarette lighters and one that doesn’t. The History of Automotive Accessory Power When the first automobiles hit the road, the idea of an automotive electrical system didn't exist yet. In fact, the first cars didn’t even include electrical systems of any kind. Since they used magnetos to provide a spark, just like your lawnmower does today, and lighting (if any was included at all) was provided by either gas or kerosene lamps, an electrical system simply wasn’t required. The first automotive electrical systems made use of DC generators, which (unlike modern alternators) didn’t require any voltage input to operate."

"text": "\"Home | Comment & Analysis Monday 12 March 2007Eritrea-Ethiopia: The Algiers agreement - A trap without exit Article Comments (0)Email Print Save By Toommaa Imma *March 11, 2007 — Essentially the UN is mandated to monitor the demilitarized frontiers erratically honored since the 2000 Algiers Agreement. Nevertheless, since the late 2005, tensions have escalated along the heavily militarized Ethiopia-Eritrea border due mainly to Eritrea’s imposition of new restraints on the UN-peacekeeping mission’s movements. The main cause for this stalemate along the disputed border frontiers lies initially on the fallacy fallouts of the previous procedures on how the 1993 Eritrean referendum was conducted solely in Eritrea on emergency grounds; and without formally conducting the actual border demarcation prior to the de facto Eritrean independence inauguration date. Consequently, therefore, the breakdown of the 2000 accord pertinent to: (a) respecting the cease-fire along the disputed Ethiopia-Eritrea border and (b) realizing the peace attainment processes has in tandem resulted in a rigid stalemate drawing the clouds of war between the two nations. Today, seven years after the said accord was initiated, the frontiers still remain shaky and not yet demarcated officially. This un-demarcated border dispute is further energized and even more heated-up by Eritrea’s own choice to isolate itself from the rest of the Western world and to involve in regional disputes pertaining to: (1) supporting opposition groups to the incumbent regime in Ethiopia, (2) supporting the already crashed Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) of Somalia, (3) depriving Ethiopia’s access to the sea by openly leaving Ethiopia’s national security and comparative economic advantages at total risk ever since Eritrea gained its de facto independence in 1993 and (4) ignoring the cries of the Afar population’s fate that are divided between three states without their legitimate consent. Although much has been written about why this disputed border demarcation matter is defunct, in this paper, without ado, I will go into the missing links in the Algiers Agreement as regards the unresolved critical themes and contend in three parts as to why it would appear to be against the interests of both regimes to have a final demarcation at this particular point in time. Algiers Agreement’s Allegory As it happens, the Algiers Agreement has taken away everything that is Ethiopian and given it entirely to Eritrea by supporting the Eritrean bid for its de facto 1993 independence. That’s why this Agreement remains irregular in which Eritrea gets everything it never had and Ethiopia loses everything it did have thus far due to the three outdated and inapplicable \"\"colonial treaties of 1900, 1902, and 1908 that the Commission attempts to implement based on its own subjective interpretations of the matter. To the contrary, the legality of all facets of the Algiers Agreement has to be examined and suggested against the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties."

"text": "\"Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse–EXCEPT When . . .25Mar7 Votes Dunce (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Virtually everyone who’s studied the legal system has heard the maxim that “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. In other words, you can’t claim to be exempt from liability under a law just because you didn’t know there was such a law. For example, just because you didn’t know that the speed limit was 45 MPH at a particular stretch in the road will not excuse you from being ticketed for driving 60. Similarly, you can’t claim to be exempt from being charged with someone’s murder by arguing that you had no idea that murder was a crime. In fact, presuming that “ignorance of the law is no excuse” makes perfect sense—at least in a legal system that has only a relatively few laws. For example, under the Ten Commandments, if you’re caught fornicating with your boss’s wife, you can’t argue that—“Gee, I’d never heard that ‘Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery’—I had no idea that sleeping with my boss’s wife was wrong.” No one will accept the argument that you were ignorant of one of the only ten laws you’re subject to. Similarly, there are reportedly 613 “commandments” in the Torah. It’s harder to know 613 laws, but it’s doable."

"text": "\"The meaning of Thomas Jefferson's phrase “all men are created equal”The Declaration of Independence, which contains the oft-repeated phrase \"\"…that all men are created equal…\"\" was written by Thomas Jefferson, who owned about 200 slaves at the time and never set any of them free, even upon his death. Jefferson's words certainly had no reference to black people, of whom the majority at that time had no place in American society except as property. For Americans, equality is a word that has been expanded in its definition since the founding of the country. For Jefferson and many of our Founding Fathers, the phrase \"\"…that all men are created equal…\"\" really meant that \"\"all free, property-owning males are created equal\"\". Questioned Frederick Douglass in his Rochester speech: \"\"Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?\"\" ( Lowance 41) Fortunately for Douglass (and all races and both sexes), the United States has moved to achieve full legal equality. ( Patterson 132)Equality is hard to define because its meaning keeps changing. Jefferson's restrictive definition, that \"\"people are of equal moral worth, and as such deserve equal treatment under the law\"\", made distinctions for free men vs. slaves, men vs. women, property owners vs. debtors, et cetera (Patterson 132). On the one hand, most Americans' notion of legal equality makes no such distinctions. De facto equality, on the other hand, is, as Martin Luther King, Jr. has said, still a \"\"dream\"\"."

For example, a 3-course meal would include a soup or salad course, a main course (with meat and a starch such as potatoes) and a dessert course.

Acute infection with dengue virus is confirmed when the virus is isolated from serum or autopsy tissue specimens, or the specific dengue virus genome is identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR) from serum or plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, or autopsy tissue specimens during an acute febrile illness. Methods such as one-step, real time RT–PCR or nested RT–PCR are now widely used to detect dengue viral genes in acute-phase serum samples. This detection coincides with the viremia and the febrile phase of illness onset. Acute infections can also be laboratory confirmed by identification of dengue viral antigen or RNA in autopsy tissue specimens by immunofluorescence or immunohistochemical analysis, or by seroconversion from negative to positive Ig M antibody to dengue or demonstration of a fourfold or greater increase in Ig G antibody titers in paired (acute and convalescent) serum specimens. Patients who have Ig M antibodies to dengue detected in their serum specimen via an Ig M antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (MAC-ELISA) and had either 1.) A negative RT–PCR result in the acute phase specimen or 2.) Did not submit an acute phase specimen, are classified as having a recent probable dengue infection. This is due to the fact that Ig M antibodies for dengue may remain elevated for 2 to 3 months after the illness."

"text": "LECTURE 21 : Chronic diseases-sycosis January 25, 2007Dr Samuel HAHNEMANN (1755-1843)It is not generally known that there are two kinds of gonorrhoea, one that is essentially chronic, having no disposition to recovery, but continuing on indefinitely and involving the whole constitution in varying forms of symptoms, and one that is acute, having a tendency to recover after a few weeks or months. They are both contagious. There are also simple inflammations of the urethra attended with discharges which are not contagious, and thus we have simple inflammations of the urethra and specific inflammations of the urethra, and of the specific we have the two kinds I have mentioned, the chronic and acute. The books will treat of them as one disease, treat them in a class, and in a treatise on gonorrhea we will have a description only of that which relates to the beginning, viz. ; the discharge. The majority of the cases of gonorrhoea are acute, i.e., there is a period of prodrome, a period of progress and a period of decline, being thus in accordance with the acute miasms. The acute may really and truly be called a gonorrhoea, because about all there is of it is this discharge. If the suppressive treatment be resorted to in the acute, the system is sufficiently vigorous in most cases to throw off the after affects. The suppression cannot bring on the constitutional symptoms called sycosis. It cannot be followed by fig warts, nor constitutional states, such as anaemia."

KEYWORDSfor searching the Internet and other reference sources DTa PImmunization Respiratory system Whooping cough What Is Pertussis? Pertussis is a respiratory disease found only in humans that is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The first account of the infection was recorded in the sixteenth century, but it was not until the early twentieth century that B. pertussis was identified as the cause. The infection causes a violent series of coughing fits ending in a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like a \"\"whoop,\"\" giving the disease its other name: whooping cough. These coughing fits can be so severe that patients may vomit, lose consciousness, or turn blue from lack of oxygen. Do Many People Contract Pertussis? Pertussis occurs throughout the world in all age groups. In the early twentieth century, it was a common childhood disease and a leading cause of infant death. Since the widespread use of a vaccine * starting in the mid-1940s, however, infection rates in children in the United States have declined."

Seizures, or convulsions, occur when abnormal signals from the brain change the way the body functions. Seizures are different from person to person. Some people have only slight shaking of a hand and do not lose consciousness. Other people may become unconscious and have violent shaking of the entire body. Shaking of the body, either mild or violent, does not always occur with seizures. Some people who have seizures have symptoms before the seizure ( auras) or briefly lose touch with their surroundings and appear to stare into space. Although the person is awake, he or she does not respond normally. Afterwards, the person does not remember the episode. Not all body shaking is caused by seizures."

It has been used as a rodenticide since the 1500’s as well as for various antiquated medical treatments. Contemporary use of strychnine is mainly limited to the eradication of unwanted gophers, moles, and other rodents. However, unintentional toxicity has occurred from exposure to certain Chinese and Cambodian herbal medicines, as well as from adulterated illicit drugs. Exposures and mortality from strychnine have significantly declined in the U. S. since the 1920’s, with only nine reported deaths in the past decade. Case presentation A 40-year old female business executive presents with recurrent convulsive episodes that have developed over the past hour. She does not have a history of seizures or any other medical issues, but is currently in the midst of a divorce with her husband. As you enter the room, your pager goes off and the patient subsequently has another convulsive episode, where her back arches off the table, her arms flex and she seems to grimace, but is awake and alert throughout the event. After about a minute, the convulsions stop and the patient appears otherwise normal. Her physical exam is remarkable for temperature of 100.4° F and heart rate 130 beats per minute."

"text": "\"What Causes High Folate Serum Levels?by MARTIN HUGHES Aug. 14, 2017The terms folate and folic acid are sometimes used interchangeably. Folate is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin. Common dietary sources of folate include cereals, leafy green vegetables, asparagus, legumes and organ meat. Certain medical conditions and other factors may cause you to have an increase in serum -- or blood -- folate levels. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Pernicious Anemia Pernicious anemia may cause high serum folate levels, due to impaired utilization of folate. According to a 2006 article by Florence Aslinia, M. D., and colleagues, published in the journal \"\"Clinical Medicine & Research,\"\" if you are a person with a vitamin B12 deficiency caused by pernicious anemia, your serum folate levels will tend to be increased, presumably because the methionine synthase pathway -- methionine synthase is an enzyme in humans responsible for the production of methionine, an amino acid -- is impaired, allowing methyltetrahydrofolate, or the most common form of folate, to accumulate in your blood. The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute states that if you have pernicious anemia, you are unable to absorb sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 from food, due to lack of intrinsic factor -- a protein made in your stomach. Common signs and symptoms associated with pernicious anemia include increased serum folate, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, headache and chest pain. Blind Loop Syndrome Intestinal blind loop syndrome can cause elevated serum folate levels. The University of Maryland Medical Center states that intestinal blind loop syndrome -- also known as stasis syndrome or stagnant loop syndrome -- occurs when a segment of your small intestine becomes bypassed and cut off from the usual flow of food and digestive juices."

Answer by Dog Defender Confidence votes 292Dogs tremble and shake because they are scared, cold, excited or have a medical condition that is either chronic, viral or they have ingested certain types of poison. Chronic conditions include epilepsy or the onset of muscle weakness or failure which usually accompanies old age. Viral infections such as kennel cough or parvo will also cause trembling, as will the ingesting of boric acid, commonly used as rat poison. Shaking is common in some breeds of dog, like toy chihuahuas, but severe trembling that goes on for any prolonged period, longer than ten minutes, usually is an indication that something is seriously wrong with the dog and he/she should be watched closely and, most likely, taken to the emergency room.

The answer becomes obvious as soon as you try to breathe through a snorkel when your body is more than two or three feet (~1 meter) beneath the surface of the water. If you have ever tried this, you will know that it becomes extremely difficult to inhale under those circumstances. That's because the deeper underwater you go, the greater the pressure is. Think of pressure as a force pushing on you from all directions. At sea-level, we are exposed to about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. This means that each square inch of our bodies has the equivalent force of about 14.7 pounds pressing on it. The source of this pressure is actually a result of the weight of the air in Earth's atmosphere. Like all gases, the air around us is composed of molecules of different gases; in this case, about 21% of these molecules are oxygen, about 78% are nitrogen, and the rest is composed of assorted trace gases. These gas molecules have weight, which means that gravity is pulling them toward Earth."

When brain cells are not working properly, a person's consciousness, movement, or actions may be altered for a short time. These physical changes are called epileptic seizures. Epilepsy is therefore sometimes called a seizure disorder. Epilepsy affects people in all nations and of all races. Some people can experience a seizure and not have epilepsy. For example, many young children have convulsions from fevers. These febrile convulsions are one type of seizure. Other types of seizures not classified as epilepsy include those caused by an imbalance of body fluids or chemicals or by alcohol or drug withdrawal. A single seizure does not mean that the person has epilepsy."

"text": "How Does Lamictal Work on Depression?by ADAM CLOE PH. D./M. D. Aug. 14, 2017Uses Lamictal is the brand name for a medication called lamotrigine. Lamotrigine is an anti-convulsant, which means it is often prescribed as a treatment for epilepsy. However, Lamictal can also be used to treat depression. It is most commonly used to treat depressive episodes in patients with bipolar disorder, although it can be used to treat depression in patients who do not have bipolar disorder (also known as unipolar depression). Lamictal may be prescribed for patients who have not had their depression adequately controlled by other anti-depressants or mood stabilizers (in the case of bipolar disorder). Mechanism Lamotrigine is not chemically related to other anti-convulsants or anti-depressants, which makes its mechanism of action somewhat difficult to ascertain. However, its proposed mechanism of action involves its ability to inhibit certain proteins on nerve cells, called voltage-dependent sodium channels. In this case, lamotrigine prevents certain nerve cells from being activated (via these sodium channels), which stops the nerve cells from releasing chemicals that activate the regions of the regions of the brain involved in depression. Because depression is thought to be related to abnormal brain chemistry, lamotrigine can help balance out the chemicals in the brain and relieve the symptoms of depression."

See INDICATIONS AND USAGE for specific uses. Solutions of bupivacaine HCl may be autoclaved if they do not contain epinephrine. Sensorcaine injections contain bupivacaine HCl which is chemically designated as 2-piperidinecarboxamide, 1-butyl-#- (2, 6-dimethylphenyl)-, monohydrochloride, monohydrate and has the following structure: Epinephrine is (-)-3, 4-Dihydroxy-a [ (methylamino)methyl] benzyl alcohol. It has the following structural formula: The p Ka of bupivacaine (8.1) is similar to that of lidocaine (7.86). However, bupivacaine possesses a greater degree of lipid solubility and is protein bound to a greater extent than lidocaine. Bupivacaine is related chemically and pharmacologically to the aminoacyl local anesthetics. It is a homologue of mepivacaine and is chemically related to lidocaine. All three of these anesthetics contain an amide linkage between the aromatic nucleus and the amino, or piperidine group. They differ in this respect from the procaine-type local anesthetics, which have an ester linkage."

Thevirus is transmitted from an animal to a person, or from one animal to another, via infected saliva,most often by biting but also by the contact of torn skin with infected saliva. The virus travels fromthe bite or contact location to the spinal cord and brain. In humans the incubation period rangesfrom 10 days to a year or more. Symptoms are fever, uncontrollable excitement, and pronouncedspasms of the throat muscles. Salivation is extreme, and despite great thirst the victim cannotswallow water; hence the misnomer hydrophobia (fear of water). Once symptoms develop, death (caused by convulsions, exhaustion, or paralysis) is usually inevitable. Following a bite from a rabid or possibly rabid animal, preventive treatment involves administration of immune globulin for passive immunization followed by vaccinations over several weeks for activeimmunization. The only treatment after symptoms appear is rest and sedation."

"text": "\"Convulsions, also sometimes called seizures, are a medical condition in which a person’s body appears to shake in an uncontrollable manner. When a person experiences them, his or her muscles quickly contract and relax repeatedly. This is what causes the appearance of rapid shaking movements. Although convulsions can be quite traumatic to witness, they are usually harmless to the person experiencing them. In most cases, they last anywhere from 30 seconds to two minutes, though much longer fits may also occur. If they last for a long period of time, generally defined as 15 minutes or more, they may be considered a medical emergency. The same is true if a person has several episodes in a row and does not appear to awaken between these episodes. When a person experiences convulsions, he or she may suddenly fall or experience uncontrollable muscle spasms. He or she may also begin to drool or froth from the mouth, start snorting and grunting, and stop breathing for a period of time. Other symptoms include briefly blacking out, feelings of confusion, unusual eye movement, loss of bowel or bladder control, and clenching of the teeth."

I was advised it was due for a transmission flush, which I agreed to have completed at that time. The following evening (Feb 22), a large puddle of transmission fluid was noticed in my garage. I had driven a total of 18 miles since the service. As it was after hours, the next morning (Feb 23) I drove the 1.5 miles up to Valvoline to have this inspected. The Customer Service Representative Ryan said that there was no leak, this was just 'residue' after the flush which leaked onto the garage floor. However, they started adding fluid to my transmission, and then the manager, Hank ** told me that the transmission pan plug was 'stripped'. This plug had never been removed until they serviced it less than 48 hours prior. Hank stated he would order a new plug, and it was 'ok to drive'.

This coolant mixture: Provides antifreeze protection down to -28.8 to -37.2 degrees Celsius (-20 to -35 degrees Fahrenheit). Provides protection against boil over to a system temperature of 120 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit). Too high a concentration of antifreeze, while allowable in extremely cold climates, can cause overheating in hot weather as antifreeze cannot absorb and reject heat as well as water. Provides corrosion protection, as coolant meeting Ford specifications ESE-M97B44-A and ESE-M97B43 contains additives to fight scale and corrosion. Provides proper water pump lubrication. Too low a concentration of antifreeze can cause water pump failure. The acceptable concentration ranges for all climates are: (minimum) 45 percent antifreeze to 55 percent water and (maximum) 60 percent antifreeze to 40 percent water."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Topping up\"\" the antifreeze solution in a car's cooling system is a routine maintenance item for most modern cars. An antifreeze is an additive which lowers the freezing point of a water-based liquid and increases its boiling point. An antifreeze mixture is used to achieve freezing-point depression for cold environments and also achieves boiling-point elevation (\"\"anti-boil\"\") to allow higher coolant temperature. Freezing and boiling points are colligative properties of a solution, which depend on the concentration of the dissolved substance. Because water has good properties as a coolant, water plus antifreeze is used in internal combustion engines and other heat transfer applications, such as HVAC chillers and solar water heaters. The purpose of antifreeze is to prevent a rigid enclosure from bursting due to expansion when water freezes. Commercially, both the additive (pure concentrate) and the mixture (diluted solution) are called antifreeze, depending on the context. Careful selection of an antifreeze can enable a wide temperature range in which the mixture remains in the liquid phase, which is critical to efficient heat transfer and the proper functioning of heat exchangers. Salts are frequently used for de-icing, but salt solutions are not used for cooling systems because they can cause severe corrosion to metals. Instead, non-corrosive antifreezes are commonly used for critical de-icing, such as for aircraft wings."

It’s the working fluid for the cooling system, which controls the operational condition of the engine. Because the engine is a controlled explosion, it needs to be kept between a specific temperature range for optimal performance. Whether it’s cold or hot outside, the cooling fluid allows the cooling system (including the radiator) to keep the engine and radiator at just the right temperature. Think of this way: coolant fluid is a warm blanket in the winter and a misting fan in the summer. How does coolant fluid flow through the system? A car’s coolant system operates on a loop, pumping a mix of water and antifreeze to your radiator to regulate engine temperature. Because coolant absorbs the heat generated by the engine and transports it to the radiator to cool down, it stands to reason that low or weak coolant levels mean its job performance is compromised and your car can overheat. Why is a coolant fluid exchange so important? Coolant breaks down like any other engine fluid."

The hood may interfere with your ability to access connections or bolts and will cause problems if you lift the engine out of the engine bay using a cherry picker or engine hoist. The hood will be held in place by hinges on either side, each with two or three bolts. You and a friend will need to support the weight of the hood as you each remove the bolts connecting the hood to the hinges. Once the bolts have been removed, lift the hood off of the vehicle. [ 1]Removing the hood is a two-person job, as one person will have to lift each end. Screw the bolts back into the hood to avoid losing them once they are removed. Place the hood someplace safe, with cloth pads at each point it may come into the contact with the ground to avoid damaging the paint.2 Drain all fluids from the engine. An engine uses a number of different fluids in regular use and all of it will need to be drained prior to removing the engine."

"text": "\"Back to Car Parts.com Classroom on the Web Clickhere to tell us what you think A Short Course on Cooling Systemsby Charles Ofria This article is broken down into four sections: What is a cooling system? How does a cooling system work? The components of a cooling system Cooling system maintenance & Repair What is a Cooling System? A typical 4 cylinder vehicle cruising along the highway at around 50 miles per hour, will produce 4000 controlled explosions per minute inside the engine as the spark plugs ignite the fuel in each cylinder to propel the vehicle down the road. Obviously, these explosions produce an enormous amount of heat and, if not controlled, will destroy an engine in a matter of minutes. Controlling these high temperatures is the job of the cooling system. The modern cooling system has not changed much from the cooling systems in the model T back in the '20s. Oh sure, it has become infinitely more reliable and efficient at doing it's job, but the basic cooling system still consists of liquid coolant being circulated through the engine, then out to the radiator to be cooled by the air stream coming through the front grill of the vehicle. Today's cooling system must maintain the engine at a constant temperature whether the outside air temperature is 110 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 below zero. If the engine temperature is too low, fuel economy will suffer and emissions will rise."

"text": "\"Radiators Cars and Automobiles How does a radiator overflow tank work?11 Answers Richard Combs, former Consultant on Expert Testimony (1976-1990)Answered Jul 20, 2016 · Author has 2.8k answers and 3.9m answer views Hey Victor,A radiator overflow tank collects the expanding coolant that is heated by the engine and recycles it back into the coolant system once it loses enough heat. The radiator overflow tank works in conjunction with the radiator cap to protect the engine and prevent coolant loss due to overflow. Not A Short Answer: The radiator overflow tank serves as the reservoir for engine coolant that is heated to its boiling point and would otherwise rise up and out of the radiator. Working in conjunction with a thermally activated spring built into the cap, the overflow tank creates a closed cooling system that is much more reliable and practical than previous designs. As the temperature and pressure rise to the coolant's boiling point under pressure, the cap spring activates and allows the heated liquid to flow up and into the overflow tank. The fact that the system is under pressure means that the liquid reaches a higher temperature before boiling, further increasing the effectiveness of the system. Prior to the advent of effective closed systems, large mechanical fans were used to cool most engines, though they had their drawbacks. Mechanical fans were ideal for driving at low speeds but actually cooled engines too much at high speeds. The solution was the advent of electric fans that turned on and off as the engine temperature rose and fell. Most modern vehicles and mechanical engines employ a combination of an electric fan and a closed cooling system."

Continuing to drive risks causing expensive engine damage such as a blown head gasket, or cracked or warped cylinder head. Low oil pressure or loss of oil pressure can be caused by a low oil level in the crankcase, a worn or damaged oil pump, or worn engine bearings. Allow the engine to cool down for several hours before you attempt any further diagnosis. A hot engine can be very dangerous because of steam pressure inside the radiator and coolant reservoir. Do NOT attempt to add coolant until the engine has cooled down and the radiator cap or reservoir cap can be safely opened. Overheating can be caused by a low coolant level (check the radiator, water pump, and hoses for leaks), coolant leaks inside the engine (leaky head gasket or cracks in the head or block), a stuck thermostat, or a cooling fan that isn't working (bad fan clutch, fan motor, or fan relay).

Essential for plant and animal life and the most widely used of all solvents, even though it is a great automotive coolant, it is not without a few draw backs: First, it has a tendency to freeze at 0C` (32F`). Not considered a desired trait since during freezing, expansion occurs and thick metal castings can be rendered useless. If this does occur, hopefully the freeze plugs allow enough expansion relief. Second, water will boil at 100C` (212F`). This is definitely not desired. As the water boils, interruption to coolant flow occurs, the steam vapor displaces the liquid capacity, further reducing efficiency. Third, plain water will allow corrosion to occur on dissimilar metals, and deterioration to accelerate."

Cool Sculpting uses cold to reduce fat and it can be effective as long as you know the limitations; a similar effect can be achieved cheaply at home. This approach is marketed as Cool Sculpting® or Cryolipolysis®. It works by chilling the skin, causing the underlying fat cells to naturally die off. This reduces the thickness of fat in the area treated, though the actual reduction is quite small. Typically, a single treatment will result in the loss of about 1.4oz/40g of fat and 7mm of thickness two months after treatment. While commercial Cool Sculpting requires expensive equipment, I've found that a similar effect can be produced at home for almost no cost, though this DIY approach entails some risks. A safer approach is to use an authorized Cool Scultping facility, and I'd recommend ensuring you're going to an authorized provider.

The norm with Cool Sculpting is that patients can take up to three months to see a noticeable effect on their skin. And when you break this down even further, most of the clinical work that has been done with this device shows that with each treatment that you lose about 20% of the fat in the treated area, so several treatments are usually needed — something we now call Treat to Transformation. You must make sure you are getting your treatments at an office that is very qualified, and most of us would recommend a board-certified dermatologist's or plastic surgeon's office for these procedures."

When we first heard about Coolsculpting at the FOF offices, there was one resounding response from our staff: “Sounds too good to be true. ”The claim: A new, non-surgical procedure can actually “freeze” away your fat cells. No dieting, cutting, anesthesia or recovery time. Just an hour in your doctor’s office, hooked up to a non-invasive “Coolsculpting” machine. Then, watch your fat slowly melt away. But over the last few months, several doctors we trust have praised the procedure, so we felt compelled to investigate. What we discovered: “Coolscupting” technology was created by Zeltiq, a global medical device company. It’s based on a process called Cryolipolysis, developed by two researchers at Harvard Medical School."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( October 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Coombs test Medical diagnostics Me SH D003298Medline Plus 003344 [ edit on Wikidata]A Coombs test (also known as antiglobulin test or AGT) is either of two clinical blood tests used in immunohematology and immunology. The two Coombs tests are the direct Coombs test ( DCT, also known as direct antiglobulin test or DAT ), and the indirect Coombs test (also known as indirect antiglobulin test or IAT)The direct Coombs test is used to test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia; i.e., a condition of a low count of red blood cells (a.k.a. RBCs) caused by immune system lysis or breaking of RBC membranes causing RBC destruction. In certain diseases or conditions, an individual's blood may contain Ig G antibodies that can specifically bind to antigens on the RBC surface membrane, and their circulating RBCs can become coated with Ig G alloantibodies and/or Ig G autoantibodies. Complement proteins may subsequently bind to the bound antibodies and cause RBC destruction. [ citation needed]The direct Coombs test is used to detect the antibodies or complement proteins that are bound to the surface of red blood cells; a blood sample is taken and the RBCs are washed (removing the patient's own plasma) and then incubated with anti-human globulin (also known as \"\"Coombs reagent\"\"). If this produces agglutination of RBCs, the direct Coombs test is positive, a visual indication that antibodies (and/or complement proteins) are bound to the surface of red blood cells."

For a historical perspective, see \"\" The Discovery of the Anti-Globulin Test \"\" written by A. E. Mourant pages 180 to 183 Vox Sang. 45: 180-83 (1983)Principle of Antiglobulin Test Red cells coated with complement or Ig G antibodies do not agglutinate directly when centrifuged. These cells are said to be sensitized with Ig G or complement. Ig G-coated red blood cells Complement-coated red blood cells In order for agglutination to occur an additional antibody, which reacts with the Fc portion of the Ig G antibody, or with the C3b or C3d component of complement, must be added to the system. This will form a \"\"bridge\"\" between the antibodies or complement coating the red cells, causing agglutination. The light-colored antibody molecule represents the anti-globulin reagent that binds with the Fc portion of the Ig G antibody attached to the red blood cells. The light-colored antibody molecule represents the anti-globulin reagent that binds with the complement attached to the red blood cells. Traditionally rabbits were immunized with human gamma globulin to make this antibody to Ig G or C3d. Types of Antiglobulin Tests The original work done by Coombs and Mourant was detecting those antibodies, especially in the Rh system, that would cause hemolytic disease of the newborn, which we now classify as the Indirect Antiglobulin Test."

"text": "\"Coombs' Test By Kristiina Ruotsalo, DVM, DVSc, Dip ACVP & Margo S. Tant BSc, DVM, DVSc Diagnosis What is a Coombs' test? A Coombs' (or direct antiglobulin) test detects the presence of immunoglobulins (antibodies) on the surface of red blood cells. Immunoglobulins are proteins made by white blood cells (specifically plasma cells). The Coombs' test detects these immunoglobulins using specific antiserum that reacts against different types of immunoglobulins. If this antiserum detects immunoglobulins on the surface of the red blood cells, it will cause the red blood cells to agglutinate or clump in the test tube. For this test, a single blood sample is sent to a veterinary reference laboratory. When is a Coombs' test indicated? A Coombs' test is indicated if it is suspected that a pet has immune-mediated hemolytic anemia.

The measure failed. After the vote, most opponents of assisted suicide breathed a sigh of relief and then promptly turned to other matters, but the reaction among those who favor assisted suicide was far different. They didn’t fold up their tents. They didn’t see the situation in Maine as a done deal. They looked at what had happened, saw it as a temporary setback, regrouped, and kept on working. This pattern has been repeated over and over again in the battles that have taken place in recent years. “ Out of sight, out of mind” seems to be the operative phrase among those who oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide. “ If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” depicts the response of proponents."

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, have shortness of breath, cold hands and feet, and very pale skin, you may have an insufficient amount of red blood cells. This condition is called anemia, and it has many causes. If your doctor confirms that you have a low red blood cell count, the Coombs test is one of the blood tests your doctor may order to help find out what kind of anemia you have. Purpose Why is the Coombs test done? The Coombs test checks the blood to see if it contains certain antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes when it detects that something may be harmful to your health. These antibodies will destroy the harmful invader. If the immune system’s detection is wrong, it can sometimes make antibodies toward your own cells. This can cause many kinds of health problems."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: An indirect Coombs' test determines whether there are antibodies to the Rh factor in the mother’s blood. A normal (negative) result means that the mother has not developed antibodies against the fetus's blood. A negative Coombs' test indicates that the fetus is not presently in danger from problems relating to Rh incompatibility. An abnormal (positive) result means that the mother has developed antibodies to the fetal red blood cells and is sensitized. However, a positive Coombs' test only indicates that an Rh-positive fetus has a possibility of being harmed. A positive test cannot indicate the amount of fetal harm that has occurred or is likely to occur. If test results show that antibody amounts are increasing during pregnancy, the fetus may be at greater risk of harm. A fetus who is Rh-negative will not be harmed, even if the mother is sensitized.

Acid phosphatase is an enzyme found within the human body - primarily in the prostate gland. The enzyme is an essential requirement to trigger any specific chemical reactions within the body. An acid phosphate test is primarily performed in order to diagnose if prostate cancer has spread to any other parts of the body. This is mainly because the enzyme is found in increased amounts in men who are afflicted by prostate cancer. The highest levels of acid phosphate are found in conditions of metastasized prostate cancer. Other conditions that are also characterized by the increased levels of acid phosphatase include hyperthyroidism, blood cell diseases as well as Gaucher’s disease. Normal levels of acid phosphatase in the human body are measured between 0 to 0.8 units per liter and anything above these levels could also be an indicator of a decreased blood flow to the prostate gland, anemia, kidney disease and prostatitis in addition to the previously mentioned conditions as well as many others. Reasons Why It is Conducted An acid phosphatase test is used primarily to identify the level to which prostate cancer has progressed. When the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, the acid phosphatase levels rise."

"text": "With Health Insurance: Free Without Health Insurance: $25-$100E-mail Post Tweet Antibody screenings, sometimes called Coombs tests or antiglobulin tests, are typically done in the first trimester of a woman's pregnancy to determine blood type and Rh status. Medical problems can arise from the mother and fetus having incompatible blood types. Most people -- upwards of 85% of the population -- have Rh factor, or are considered Rh-positive. Mothers that are Rh-negative are likely to have incompatibility issues with an Rh-positive fetus. There are two types of Rh factor antibody tests -- direct and indirect. Antibody testing is also done to determine whether a person has contracted HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. Typical costs: For patients covered by medical insurance, antibody screens are typically done at no cost to the patient. For uninsured patients, a typical lab fee for antibody screening is $25 -$100. The Healthcare Blue Book estimates the cost of a direct antiglobulin test [ 1] at $25 -$49, an indirect antiglobulin test [ 2] is estimated at $50 -$99. Many independent labs offer antibody screen tests."

This test is usually done to check for glucose related problems like hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia in the patient. Both these conditions are related to diabetes. The glucose content in the blood is measured after fasting or immediately after a meal, depending on the symptoms of the patient, to check for this disease. Sometimes, the GTT may be conducted as a part of the oral glucose tolerance test. The basic definition of GTT is simply testing the glucose level in the blood at the time the sample is taken. For a fasting test, a blood sample is collected after about 8-12 hours of fasting. Once the sample is taken, the patient is given a glucose solution to drink. After drinking the solution, another sample of blood is taken to check the metabolism of glucose. The two test results are compared to see if the body is able to metabolize glucose properly."

I just had a quick question as I was going through some immunology notes and wondering if you could clarify what they mean when a person develops an anti antibody? I get confused because when I hear two negatives, does that make it a positive body?? Now that I wrote that, it sounds silly, but I’m still confused as to what they mean. Can you advise? A. An anti-antibody is an antibody that binds to other antibodies! Weird. Usually antibodies bind to antigens (little amino acid sequences in a bigger molecule, for example). But they can bind to anything, really – including other antibodies. Sometimes this can cause problems."

She might have received antibodies as a fetus from her own mother if her mother was Rh positive, so she might already be sensitized before becoming pregnant herself. Her Rh status must be tested first using indirect Coombs' test. If she has a miscarriage, elective abortion, ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy, then a microdose of immune globulin is used within the first 12 weeks' gestation.

X-Ray crystallography studies of antigen-antibody interactions show that the antigenic determinant nestles in a cleft formed by the combining site of the antibody as illustrated in Figure 1. Thus, our concept of antigen-antibody reactions is one of a key ( i.e. the antigen) which fits into a lock ( i.e. the antibody). Non-covalent Bonds The bonds that hold the antigen to the antibody combining site are all non-covalent in nature. These include hydrogen bonds, electrostatic bonds , Van der Waals forces and hydrophobic bonds. Multiple bonding between the antigen and the antibody ensures that the antigen will be bound tightly to the antibody. Reversibility Since antigen-antibody reactions occur via non-covalent bonds, they are by their nature reversible.

Psychic attacks can come from living people that have ill intentions towards you, negative ghost and spirits, dark entities and demons. Note: Below we have a list of symptoms of what may experience when under psychic attack, but keep in mind that they can also be psychiatric or psychological changes; therefore, you must be wary when you look at these as symptoms.1.

"text": "\"Wayne's Word Index Noteworthy Plants Trivia Lemnaceae Biology 101 Botany Search Cycad Distribution and Continental Drift© W. P. Armstrong 21 September 2008In 1915 Alfred Wegener, a German climatologist and geophysicist, published an expanded version of his 1912 book The Origin of Continents and Oceans. This novel hypothesis, which has now been confirmed by other scientists, states that continents are not fixed; instead, their relative positions and the positions of the oceans have changed over time. Wegener's hypothesis led to the science of plate tectonics, where scientists study the gradual movement of large plates of the earth's crust along major fault zones. About 200 million years ago, the continents were joined into one supercontinent that Wegener called Pangea (Figure A). By 135 million years ago, Pangea had divided into two large subcontinents called Gondwanaland and Laurasia (Figure B). In the great southern subcontinent Gondwanaland, South America and Africa were connected with each other and with Antarctica, India, and Australia. This is roughly the time when the first flowering plants began to appear on earth. By 65 million years ago, about the time when dinosaurs became extinct, the continents had divided into positions resembling the present-day configuration (Figure C). As of April 2000, the continents resembled the configuration shown in Figure D. Cycads & Continental Drift The widespread distribution of certain plant groups correlates rather nicely with plate tectonics. For example, there are three families of cycads, the Cycadaceae, Stangeriaceae and Zamiaceae, which include a total of 185 species in 11 genera."

The word ofrenda means offering in Spanish. They are also called altares or altars, but they are not for worship. Some people mistakenly think that Mexicans that set up ofrendas for their defunct relatives are actually worshiping them. Nothing further from the truth. The vast majority of Mexicans are Christian Catholics, so they only worship God. O frendas are set up to remember and honor the memory of their ancestors. Before setting an altar, they thoroughly clean their house. We must remember they are going to have very important “visitors”. The ofrenda is set on a table, covered with a fine tablecloth, preferably white."

Linseed Oil: the yellow oil obtained by pressing the seed of flax. It is known to dry from the top down after forming a skin, and therefore takes many months to dry through completely after becoming dry to the touch. This oil contains Linoleic Acid, an unsaturated fatty acid occurring as a glyceride (an ester). Early painters neutralized this acid by the addition of lime or other siccative additives so that it would not deteriorate the painting surface. Linseed also contains Linolenic acid which attributes to its yellowing but also to its desireable flexibility. Linseed oil was one of the very first drying oils to be used in varnishing and has become the predominant oil for paint vehicles and mediums through the ages due to its superior balance of qualities. The mass production of alkili refined linseed oil for industrial use has also made it the cost effective favorite for artistic use as well. However, the best form of the oil for the artist is cold-pressed. ( Old Holland oil paints use cold-pressed linseed oil) Walnut Oil: an oil early favored by oil painters for its drying properties, since it dries quickly and evenly throughout."

It originated in Mexico, but now it grows all over the world. The word copal is a shortened version of “copalli” which is a Nahuatl a word that means incense; to the Mayan people it was called pom and others have nicknamed it young amber. The resin itself was also popular in East Africa which enabled the Indian Ocean to fulfill its demands for this ever popular resin. In modern times copal is widely used as a standalone or as an ingredient in the blend of many incense fragrances. Copal incense is available in different forms each with a similar scent. Black copal is considered by some the most desirable for its rich and heavy scent. Golden copal has the sweetest scent and offers a good balance."

As herbs, roots, resins and barks are changed from their physical form (of this world), they are changed by the element of fire into smoke (spirit world form). This transformation is evidence of the spirit within substances. Throughout human history aromatic plants have been used in the daily activities of people from every culture. In Catholicism the use of incense is likened to one's prayer being kindled by fire in the heart, spoken by the lips resulting in the odor of Christ on the breath. As time has passed, this connection between people and plants is being forgotten. We are drifting further and further away from the ways that connect us to the plant and animal spirits we share the earth with. We are losing our understanding of the physical things around us connect us to the spirit of life. People native to Turtle Island (The Americas) understand that the influence of plant medicine is very real in their daily lives. Smudging The act of smudging is done with a smudge bowl or Abalone Shell with the appropriate herbs directly lit or burned on a coal or Charcoal Tablet."

Family: Fabaceae/ Caesalpiniaceae (bean family)Common name: algarrobo, copal, guapinol, jatoba Commercial or trade name: Brazilian cherry, jatoba Guapinol (Hymenaea courbaril) is excessively hard, heavy, and very strong wood, with a basic specific gravity of 0.71 to 0.91, and air dry density of 52 to 61 pcf (www.arandufloors.com) [1]. While the sapwood of jatoba is gray-white, the heartwood tends to a salmon-red to orange-brown color when freshly milled, becoming russet or rich deep red color with dark streaks over time. Therefore, the color will change dramatically when seasoned. In direct sunlight, the color change will occur within a few days. Out of sunlight, it will oxidize slowly over 6 months. Water-based finishes tend to retard the color change, while oil-based finishes enhance it (www.exoticwoodflooring.com) [2]. With its inherent beauty, rich coloring, and extreme hardness, this species is understandably one of the most popular exotic woods (www.countyfloors.com) [3]. The guapinol tree is rare and in danger of extinction due to heavy exploitation. That is reason enough to plant some of these beautiful trees, aside from their high-value wood. Brazilian cherry is prized for its pleasing color, beauty, and durability and is used in fine furniture and cabinetry (sometimes it is compared with mahogany). It is commercially useful for flooring, stair treads, parquet, architectural details, joinery and turnery, and decorative veneers (www.exotichardwood.com) [4]. Additionally, it is used for general construction, railroad ties, wheels and cogs, dugouts, shipbuilding, crossties, posts, looms, and cartwheels. Indians made canoes from the smooth, hard, thick bark by stripping in one piece the bark of a large tree, sewing the ends together, waterproofing the seams with gum or resin, and inserting wooden crosspieces (www.hort.purdue.edu) [5]. The roots and trunk yield a pale yellow or reddish resin like gum, known commercially as copal. The gum is used mainly in varnish but also for incense and local medicines."

Some imitations are made with the purpose of creating false insect inclusions, rather than creating a false piece of amber in general. There are a few tests one can do to determine real amber from imitations. A substance known as copal is an immature resin and is sometimes passed off as amber. It is said to be immature because not all the volatile terpenes have left the resin via geological processes over millions of years. Therefore it is younger in age than true amber and will not stand up to the following tests. Plastics and other synthetics such as celluloid and bakelite will also react differently to these tests than amber. Plastics are the most common amber imitations and can be distinguished from natural amber. Celluloid is a trademarked thermoplastic, composed of cellulose nitrate and camphor."

The first alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. After dreaming the creatures while sick in the 1930s, he began to create what he saw in cardboard and paper mache. His work caught the attention of a gallery owner in Cuernavaca and later, the artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Linares was originally from México City (DF), he was born June 29, 1906 in México City and never moved out of México City, he died January 25, 1992. Then in the 1980s, British Filmmaker, Judith Bronowski, arranged an itinerant demonstration workshop in U. S. A. participating Pedro Linares, Manuel Jiménez and a textil artisan Maria Sabina from Oaxaca. Although the Oaxaca valley area already had a history of carving animal and other types of figures from wood, it was at this time, when Bronowski's workshop took place when artisans from Oaxaca knew the alebrijes paper mache sculptures. Then Linares’ designs were adapted to the carving of a local wood called copal and on family visits, demonstrated his designs there. This adaptation was pioneered by Arrazola native Manuel Jiménez. This version of the craft has since spread to a number of other towns, most notably San Martín Tilcajete and La Unión Tejalapan, become a major source of income for the area, especially for Tilcajete."

It is sourced specifically from the Pinus succinifera tree. The fossilization of amber can be traced back to the Tertiary period, meaning that amber stones formed approximately 50 million years ago. Since amber is formed from soft and sticky resin, amber often contains animal and plant inclusions; mostly mosquitoes and other insect species. Amber that developed in coal seams is often called 'resinite', and specimens sourced specifically from New Zealand coal seams are referred to as 'ambrite'. Amber is one of the few varieties of organic gemstones. The most common varieties of organic gems include amber, pearl, coral and ivory. The word 'amber' was derived from the Middle Persian word 'ambar'. It was originally used to describe a hardened waxy substance found within the intestines of sperm whales called ambergris."

Copperhead snakes have jaws that are flexible enough to swallow prey larger than twice its own diameter. Copperhead Bite Statistics According to U.

"text": "Types of Snake Venom As explained in the introduction venomous snakes can be classified into three classes the snake venoms for two are explain below:1) The elapines, short front fangs (Proteroglyphs) snakes, which include the cobra, mamba, and coral snakes, their venom is neurotoxic (nerve toxins) and paralyses the respiratory centre. Animals that survive these bites seldom have any sequelae (aftereffects of the snake bite such as tissue damage).2) The two families of viperines, the true vipers (e.g., puff adder, Russell's viper, and common European adder the only venomous snake in the UK) and the pit vipers (e.g., rattlesnakes, copperhead, and fer-de-lance). Viperine snakes have long, hinged, hollow fangs (Solenoglyph); they strike, inject venom (a voluntary action), and withdraw. Many bites by vipers reportedly do not result in injection of substantial quantities of venom. Viperine venom is typically haemotoxic (blood toxins), necrotising (death of tissue), and anticoagulant (preventing the blood from clotting), although a neurotoxic component is present in the venom of some species, e.g., the Mojave rattlesnake There are approximately 20 types of toxic enzymes found in snake poisons throughout the world known to man. Although no venomous snake has all of these toxins, most snakes employ between six to twelve of these enzymes in their venom. Each of these enzymes has its own special function. Some aid in the digestive process, while others specialize in paralysing the prey. This is a list of various toxins that have been identified in snake venom: Proteolytic enzymes Phosphomonoesterase Arginine ester hydrolase Phosphodiesterase Thrombin-like enzyme Acetylcholinesterase Collagenase RNase Hyaluronidase DNase Phospholipase A2 (A) 5'-Nucleotidase Phospholipase B L-Amino acid oxidase Phospholipase C Lactate dehydrogenase Adenosine triphosphatase Enzymes Enzymes are biological (virtually always proteins) catalysts. A catalyst is a compound that increases the rate of the reaction but does not affect the yield or equilibrium of the reaction."

"text": "How to Identify a Copperhead Snake Copperheads are arguably the most recognizable snake breed that calls the United States home. The poisonous snake also suffers from an identity crisis of sorts, as the pattern forged onto its flesh is quite similar to several other species of harmless, non-poisonous slithering critters. It may be tough to differentiate copperheads from other snakes, particularly if you’re inclined to be freaked out at the site of a snake. However, there are several ways you can identify whether or not that snake that’s creeping up next to your camping party is worth worrying about. Facts About Copperheads The bite of a copperhead is pretty ubiquitous when it comes to American-based snake bites. It’s estimated that around 5,000 to 8,000 of the 55,000 reported snake bites in the U. S. are initiated by a copperhead’s fangs. That roughly translates to 10 to 15% of all reported bites. The copperhead’s reputation for having a vicious bite is well-earned. Its mildest symptoms can include unpleasant things like throbbing, tingling, severe nausea, and sharp pains. At its apex, the bit can cause bone, tissue, and muscle damage, particularly if the bite occurs in the hands or the feet."

"text": "\"�Recognizing Florida's Venomous Snakes 1Steve A. Johnson and Martin B. Main 2Florida is home to 46 species of native snakes, six of which are venomous (snakes are not poisonous—\"\"poisonous\"\" refers to something that is toxic when ingested). The venomous species include five pit vipers (eastern diamondback rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, pygmy rattlesnake, copperhead, and cottonmouth) and the coral snake. Copperheads and timber rattlesnakes have a limited range in Florida. Copperheads only occur in a small area of Florida's Panhandle just west of Tallahassee, and timber rattlesnakes are only found in northern Florida as far south as Gainesville. The other four venomous species are found throughout the state. Florida's venomous snakes occur in a variety of natural habitats, ranging from swamps to dry woods. The five species of pit vipers all share several characteristics. The pupils of their eyes are vertical (cat-like) and they have a deep facial pit between each eye and nostril (Figure 1). These characteristics can be difficult to see unless a snake is examined closely, so do not rely on them to differentiate venomous from non-venomous species. Florida's pit vipers have blocky, triangular-shaped heads that are distinctly broader than their necks."

"text": "\"May 14How to Identify Venomous Snakes (US)During a day hike with my two young kids this past weekend, we were abruptly reminded of the fact that we are all just visitors in the great outdoors and there are many creatures that call the trails their home - like snakes!The three of us had been itching all week to get outside and go for an adventure walk. We like to spot flowers, try to identify rocks, look for animal tracks, and generally just do as much 'discovering' as we can. I use this time to share my knowledge and love of the outdoors with Jack and Maggie in a fun and exciting way. Luckily the big, black snake that we saw by the edge of the trail was well known to my kids and easily identified as a North Carolina Black Rat Snake (non-venomous). Even so we gave it a wide berth and left it well alone - our general rule of thumb for all snakes. I taught my kids the basics of how to spot a venomous snake a very long time ago and we go over those essential skills on a regular basis, but it got me thinking that it would be worthwhile to share that information here. Tips For Identifying Venomous Snakes (United States) Safety First: Avoid, respect and do not interfere with snakes. It is a fact that most snake bites occur when someone tries to handle a snake. So the first and foremost rule, is to leave them alone!Luckily there are only four types of venomous snakes in the United States. They are Cottonmouths, Rattlesnakes, Copperheads and Coral snakes."

And most snakes in North America aren’t venomous, meaning you don’t get poison from them if they do bite. You’re much more likely to get struck by lightning than die from one. Still, it’s best to avoid them and to treat any bite as a medical emergency. Swipe to advance1 / 17Treatment: First Aid If you’ve been bitten by a snake, get medical help right away. To help someone with a snakebite: Take off all jewelry and tight clothing to avoid problems with swelling. Keep the area of the bite below the heart to keep venom from spreading. Keep the person as still as possible to keep venom from spreading. Cover the bite loosely with a clean, dry bandage. Help the person stay calm to prevent shock."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Zoology or Animal Biology Animal Behavior What snakes look like copperheads? Flag What snakes look like copperheads? Answer by Mr Toad Confidence votes 34Well, that's to some degree a matter of opinion. Copperheads are tan-to-brown snakes with light-colored 'hourglass' bands (wide at the sides and narrow in the middle). The most distinguishing feature is usually the lighter, often coppery-colored head, but this may vary. I once came across an older female with a relatively brown head, not dramatically lighter than the rest of her body. They tend to be rather chunky-looking as they get bigger, and are often pretty sluggish and calm. They tend to be found in rocky or weedy upland fields where logs or other shelter is common, and they seem to be more active hunters at night in my experience. So, what do we have that's similar? The snakes that are most often confused with Copperheads are either common Water Snakes (darker brown with dark hourglass bands and a dark head) which are (as you might expect) found near water and tend to be very irritable, unpleasant snakes, and Eastern Hognose Snakes, which are found in the same sort of habitat, and have broad heads, but are otherwise rather different - blotchy pattern instead of banded."

Despite their sinister reputation, snakes are almost always more scared of you than you are of them. Most snakes do not act aggressive toward humans without provocation. Snakes are meat eaters and they catch prey that includes insects, birds, small mammals, and other reptiles, sometimes including other snakes. Only about 400 of 3,000 snake species worldwide are venomous. About 25 species of venomous snakes are found in North America. Many snakes kill their prey by constriction. In constriction, a snake suffocates its prey by tightening its hold around the chest, preventing breathing or causing direct cardiac arrest. Snakes do not kill by crushing prey. Some snakes grab prey with their teeth and then swallow it whole."

"text": "Copperhead Snake Facts and Information By admin Copperhead Perhaps no other venomous snake in North America is more widely confused than the copperhead. The copperhead actually has three different subspecies throughout North America. These subspecies are all quite similar, and all venomous. The copperhead snake is also the most common snakebite in North America among the dangerous snakes. This fascinating reptile is not the evil serpent people think. How Dangerous is The Copperhead The copperhead has venom that is roughly half the toxicity of a rattlesnake . Additionally, the copperhead also has relatively small fangs and delivers a much smaller amount of venom. Because of these factors, the copperhead often is a much less serious snake bite than that of the cottonmouth or rattlesnake. Still, as with any snake bite, it is considered a medical emergency and can be extremely dangerous. The copperhead is not a ready biter, but will bite if it feels threatened."

The copperhead, which has the Latin name Agkistrodon contortrix, has alternating dark and light colored bands of different widths across most of its body aside from the tip of its tail, which has a very characteristic green or yellow hue. Sometimes it will wriggle its tail to attract potential prey.

Copperhead snakes eat small animals, such as rodents, cicadas, birds, lizards, amphibians, and all sorts of invertebrates, such as insects. They are nocturnal and primarily forage during the night.

A stout bodied pit viper, this snake likes to live in the dry, pine flatwoods, sandy woodlands, and coastal scrub habitats. | Source Although the Sunshine State provides a home for fifty or so different types, there are only really 6 species of dangerous snakes in Florida. These have venomous bites, which can harm humans, and they should be avoided. Generally speaking, if you encounter a snake and you are unsure whether it is dangerous, or not, you should avoid it. Snakes in Florida are not generally aggressive and won’t normally attack you, if unprovoked. In fact, most of the time, they will attempt to flee if you go near them. On the rare occasions when they don’t flee, because they are sunning themselves, for instance, under no circumstances should you attempt to handle the snake - especially if you are unsure if it is venomous or not."

Credit: Matt Jeppson | Shutterstock Copperhead snakes are some of the more commonly seen North American snakes. They're also the most likely to bite, although their venom is relatively mild, and their bites are rarely fatal for humans. These snakes get their name, fittingly, from their copper-red heads, according to the biology department at Pennsylvania State University. Some other snakes are referred to as copperheads, which is a common (nonscientific) name. Water moccasins (cottonmouths), radiated rat snakes, Australian copperheads and sharp-nosed pit vipers are all sometimes called copperheads, but these are different species from the North American copperhead ( Agkistrodon contortrix ). Copperheads are pit vipers, like rattlesnakes and water moccasins. Pit vipers have \"\"heat-sensory pits between eye and nostril on each side of head,\"\" which are able to detect minute differences in temperatures so that the snakes can accurately strike the source of heat, which is often potential prey. Copperhead \"\"behavior is very much like that of most other pit vipers,\"\" said herpetologist Jeff Beane, collections manager of amphibians and reptiles at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

Statistics also suggest that only about 18 percent of snake bites in the USA are from venomous species. Of course even 1 death is always 1 too many for the person concerned, but if put into perspective or compared to all the other possible causes of death, one can consider that human deaths caused by snake bites are virtually non existent in North America. In fact, few venomous species occur in North America and only 4 of them pose a hazard to humans - though none of them would rank among the most venomous in the world. North America's venomous snakes fall into two groups: Coral Snakes and Pit Vipers (which include Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouth, Copperhead) 1) CORAL SNAKES (Micrurus) Coral snakes are related to the cobra family and can potentially be extremely venomous though they are generally shy and slow to bite. Coral snakes thus account for fewer than 1% of venomous snakebites in the United States with most people bitten while handling the snakes intentionally. On top of all, Coral Snakes cannot strike quickly and must hang on for a brief period to achieve significant envenomation in humans. Because of this relatively primitive venom delivery apparatus, it is estimated that 60% of those bitten by North American coral snakes are not envenomed. There has been no deaths from Coral Snake bites in the United States since antivenin became available. Before, bites killed 10% of the victims from respiratory or cardiovascular failure."

Named for the late Edwin Sedgewick Coppock, his eponymous indicator was originally developed as a way to find the upturns from major stock market bottoms. But with the right interpretation, it can also have other uses. Coppock was a market analyst and money manager a few decades ago, and was awarded the MTA's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1989. The indicator that bears his name now was something he himself called his Very Long Term (VLT) Momentum indicator.

The recent ex-wife of retired Cubs star Ryne Sandberg says she wants to set the record straight. Sandberg has written a book discussing, to a degree, his reasons for leaving the game that was paying him $7 million a year and he has touched on the breakup of his marriage. But no one has approached Cindy to ask her about the damaging published statements and whispers about her private life. \"\" Actually, you are the first person to ask me,\"\" she said Wednesday from her home in suburban Phoenix. \"\" I find the rumors amusing. These people don't know me, don't know what I am doing and never have. \"\" For starters, Cindy addressed published and broadcast reports about her and two of her former husband's teammates. \"\""

"text": "\"SALEM. ( By Ralph W. Hawley. ) Founded 125 years ago, and laid out as a village 120 years ago, Salem has builded well, and through her conservative career has kept pace with the progress of time until in 1926 she can look back over a long line of achievements without apology. Second only to East Liverpool as Columbiana County's largest city, Salem with its 12,000 population has grown steadily as a city of diversified industries, knowing no boom times and no periods of serious deflation. A city of home owners, its beautifully shaded streets and well kept lawns bespeaking its civic pride stand as an enduring monument to the peace loving Quakers or Friends who were its early settlers and whose influence predominated for so many years and even today is still a potent factor in this thriving little city. Situated in Perry Township, the northern most township in the county and bordering on Mahoning County, Salem is an industrial center and likewise a market for the rich agricultural lands which surround it, mid way between Cleveland and Pittsburg. It is on the east and west and north and south state market routes and likewise the national highway extending from east to west. Having in the early days been an important stage coach station, it finds itself today not only the terminus of two interurban electric lines, the Youngstown & Ohio River Railway Co. and the Stark Electric Railway Co., as well as an important station on the Ft. Wayne division of the Pennsylvania railroad, with connections to the Erie railroad, but also a busy center of motor bus traffic on several interurban lines, extending east and west and north and south. The first settler of whom there is any record was Elisha Schooley, who came from Virginia in 1801 and settled on section 32, which later became the southwest corner of the village of Salem, Jacob Painter, also of Virginia, came in 1802 and in 1803 Samuel Smith, Samuel Davis, Jonas Cadet Elisha Hunt and John Webb located here."

Nearly all were volunteers as only 8750 were drafted. There were 5092 Black soldiers from Ohio. Over 200 Ohioans reached the rank of general. To insure that future generations would remember Ohio's contributions to the Civil War, Ohioans constructed monuments, statues, plaques and buildings. Even while war still waged, Ohioans began to build monuments. In 1863, the citizens of Bristolville, Trumbull County, erected a monument to honor thirteen local men who were \"\"Defenders of the Union from Bristol, Ohio.\"\" The square-shaped stone monument is topped with a funerary urn and decorated with crossed swords, cannon and rifles. Also in 1863, Cincinnatians contributed funds for a suitable monument. Randolph Rogers received the commission in 1864."

"text": "How to Use Trendlines with the Elliott Wave Pattern Trend Lines Definition Trend lines are one of the oldest technical indicators. Trend lines are used to identify and confirm existing price trends. They can be drawn on any time frame and can be used on any price chart. The key to using trend lines effectively is the methodology used to draw them on the price chart. Simply put, a trend line is a straight line that connects two or more swing points. A positive sloping line is defined as an uptrend. A negative sloping line is defined as a downtrend. Positive Trend Line Charting Example A positive uptrend is when there are higher highs and higher lows on the price chart. If the price is contained by this upward sloping line, the trend is assumed to be intact. This means that there is more demand than supply as the price heads higher."

"text": "Introduction The Coppock Curve is a momentum indicator developed by Edwin “Sedge” Coppock, who was an economist by training. Coppock introduced the indicator in Barron's in October 1965. The goal of this indicator is to identify long-term buying opportunities in the S&P 500 and Dow Industrials. The signal is very simple. Coppock used monthly data to identify buying opportunities when the indicator moved from negative territory to positive territory. Although Coppock did not use it for sell signals, many technical analysts consider a cross from positive to negative territory as a sell signal. Sharp Charts Calculation Coppock Curve = 10-period WMA of (14-period Ro C + 11-period Ro C) WMA = Weighted Moving Average Ro C = Rate-of-Change The Rate-of-Change indicator is a momentum oscillator that oscillates above and below the zero line. Coppock used 11 and 14 periods because, according to an Episcopal priest, this was the average mourning period when grieving the loss of a loved one. Coppock theorized that the recovery period for stock market losses would be similar to this timeframe. The Rate-of-Change indicators were then smoothed with a weighted moving average."

For example, the moving average of six-month sales may be computed by taking the average of sales from January to June, then the average of sales from February to July, then of March to August, and so on.

"text": "Computing How to take control of the Action Center in Windows 10By Mark Coppock — Posted on April 28, 2017 - 1:30PMpikcha/Shutterstock When Microsoft first introduced desktop notifications into its Windows PC ecosystem, they weren’t exactly held in high regard. The small, rectangular boxes popping up in Windows 8 were generally more of a hindrance than a help, disappearing forever once they unceremoniously exited the screen. There was no central location to view or manage notifications in Windows 8 and its successor Windows 8.1, meaning that Microsoft had so far failed to make desktop notifications a legitimate value for PC users. In short, desktop notifications in Windows were a good idea, but poorly executed. Windows 10 changed things for the better, particularly the Anniversary Update . Microsoft’s latest OS makes good on its promise to inject a worthwhile notification system into Windows via a new notification center — aka the “Action Center” — that provides users with a single and persistent location for all app alerts. All notifications show up in the Action Center and stay there until acted upon, meaning that users don’t have to respond immediately to a notification in order to benefit from it. And Microsoft went a step further, providing quick access to some of the settings that are used most often. The Action Center is therefore a sort of activity hub for Windows 10, augmenting the Start Menu in allowing users to control their PCs and get things done — Microsoft’s productivity mantra in play. Check below for a quick rundown of the Action Center in the latest production build of Windows 10, currently build 14393, along with tutorials for toggling notifications on and off."

"text": "\"The Creole Origins of African American Vernacular English: Evidence from copula absence John R. Rickford Stanford University (In African American English, ed. by Salikoko S. Mufwene, John R. Rickford, Guy Bailey and John Baugh. London: Routledge, 1998) (Revised final version: 9/17/97)8.0 Introduction Two issues loom large in discussions of the development of African American Vernacular English (AAVE). 1 The first is the \"\"creole origins issue\"\"--the question of whether AAVE's predecessors, two or three hundred years ago, included creole languages similar to Gullah (spoken on the islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia) or the English-based creoles of Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Hawaii or Sierra Leone. The second is the \"\"divergence issue\"\"--the question of whether AAVE is currently diverging or becoming more different from white vernacular dialects in the US. The creole origins issue is the older issue. The earliest linguists to suggest the possibility that AAVE had pidgin or creole roots were Schuchardt (1914), Bloomfield (1933:474), Wise (1933) and Pardoe (1937). 2 The case was articulated in more detail by B. Bailey (1965) and repeated in Hall (1966:15). It was vigorously championed by Stewart (1967, 1968, 1969) and Dillard (1972, 1992), and it was subsequently endorsed by Baugh (1979, 1980, 1983), Holm (1976, 1984), Rickford (1974, 1977), Fasold (1976, 1981), Smitherman (1977), Edwards (1980, 1991), Labov (1982), Mufwene (1983), Singler (1989, 1991a, 1991b, to appear), Traugott (1976), and Winford (1992a, 1992b, 1997), among others. Arguing against the creole hypothesis, and asserting instead that the speech of African Americans derives primarily from the dialects spoken by British and other white immigrants in earlier times (hence the label \"\"dialectologist\"\") were Krapp (1924, 1925), Kurath (1928), Johnson (1930), Brooks (1935, 1985:9-13), Mc David and Mc David (1951), Mc David (1965), Davis (1969, 1970), D'Eloia (1973), Schneider (1982, 1983, 1989, 1993b), Poplack and Sankoff (1987), Poplack and Tagliamonte (1989, 1991, 1994), Montgomery (1991), Tagliamonte and Poplack (1988, 1993), Montgomery et al (1993), and Ewers (1996), among others."

"text": "research Introduction to Language 3 - 5 Years - Increasingly Adult-like Understanding and Use Print Research Review / Parent Written by: Carrie Gotzke and Heather Sample Gosse, University of Alberta Between three and five years of age, children continue to make gains in both their understanding and their use of language. The size of their receptive and expressive vocabularies grows. Increased use of closed-class words and grammatical morphemes allows production of longer and more complex sentence structures in the preschool period. Children's phonological systems are further refined as they produce words with different syllable structures. Language continues to develop in the context of interaction with others. For information on this critical context, please refer to Interacting. Understanding and Using New Words - Ever-Increasing Vocabularies Preschoolers' receptive and expressive vocabularies continue to expand as they learn more nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. They also begin to understand and use more closed-class words such as prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, and auxiliary verbs. Their growing vocabularies allow them to express themselves more clearly. Vocabulary Growth By age three, children have developed expressive vocabularies of between 900 and 1000 words (Apel & Masterson, 2001; Owens, 2001)."

Adverbs typically express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc., answering questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?. This function is called the adverbial function, and may be realized by single words (adverbs) or by multi-word expressions ( adverbial phrases and adverbial clauses ). Adverbs are traditionally regarded as one of the parts of speech. However, modern linguists note that the term \"\"adverb\"\" has come to be used as a kind of \"\"catch-all\"\" category, used to classify words with various different types of syntactic behavior, not necessarily having much in common except that they do not fit into any of the other available categories (noun, adjective, preposition, etc. )"

"text": "\"Unlike many languages, Turkish forms words by a process known as \"\"agglutination\"\", where prefixes and suffixes are attached to words to mark different parts of speech and so on. Thus, an English phrase such as \"\"I am an Australian\"\" is rendered in Turkish with the one word \"\"Avustralyalıyım - Avustralya-lı-y-ım\"\". Turkish is an agglutinative language and frequently uses affixes, or endings. One word can have many affixes and these can also be used to create new words, such as creating a verb from a noun, or a noun from a verbal root (see the section on Word formation). Most affixes indicate the grammatical function of the word. The only native prefixes are alliterative intensifying syllables used with adjectives or adverbs: for example sım sıcak (\"\"boiling hot\"\" < sıcak ) and mas mavi (\"\"bright blue\"\" < mavi ). The extensive use of affixes can give rise to long words. It is jokingly said that the longest Turkish word is Çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınız , meaning \"\"You are said to be one of those that we couldn't manage to convert to a Czechoslovak\"\". This example is of course contrived; but long words do frequently occur in normal Turkish, as in this heading of a newspaper obituary column: Bayramlaşamadıklarımız (Bayram [festival]-Recipr-Impot-Partic-Plur-Poss Pl1; \"\"Those of our number with whom we cannot exchange the season's greetings\"\"). Nouns There is no definite article in Turkish, but definiteness of the object is implied when the accusative ending is used (see below)."

[ 2]A preposition or postposition typically combines with a noun or pronoun, or more generally a noun phrase, this being called its complement, or sometimes object. A preposition comes before its complement; a postposition comes after its complement. English generally has prepositions rather than postpositions – words such as in, under and of precede their objects, such as in England, under the table, of Jane – although there are a few exceptions including \"\"ago\"\" and \"\"notwithstanding\"\", as in \"\"three days ago\"\" and \"\"financial limitations notwithstanding\"\". Some languages that use a different word order, have postpositions instead, or have both types. The phrase formed by a preposition or postposition together with its complement is called a prepositional phrase (or postpositional phrase, adpositional phrase, etc.) – such phrases usually play an adverbial role in a sentence. A less common type of adposition is the circumposition, which consists of two parts that appear on each side of the complement. Other terms sometimes used for particular types of adposition include ambiposition, inposition and interposition. Some linguists use the word preposition in place of adposition regardless of the applicable word order. ["

Anything that partakes in being is also called a \"\"being\"\", though often this usage is limited to entities that have subjectivity (as in the expression \"\" human being \"\"). The notion of \"\"being\"\" has, inevitably, been elusive and controversial in the history of philosophy, beginning in Western philosophy with attempts among the pre-Socratics to deploy it intelligibly. As an example of efforts in recent times, Martin Heidegger (who himself drew on ancient Greek sources) adopted after German terms like Dasein to articulate the topic. [ 1] Several modern approaches build on such continental European exemplars as Heidegger, and apply metaphysical results to the understanding of human psychology and the human condition generally (notably in the Existentialist tradition)."

Six versions of the poem exist, the first sent to George R.

Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

"text": "Copula Verbs Modal Verbs Grammatical Verb Conjugation Verbs English (language)What's the difference between modal verbs and copula verbs?1 Answer Adriano Cunha Trigueiro, English is my second language Answered Mar 5Modal verbs are verbs whose function is to modify other verbs in order to give them additional grammatical meaning. In the case of English, those verbs are: will, may, can, shall, and must, and they all have the distinct features of lacking third person endings in the present (you can't say “he must s ”), present and past participle forms, and the fact that they cannot be modified by another modal verb (it's wrong to say “he will must”). Another odditie of theirs is the fact that their past tense forms ( would, might, could, and should) sometimes carry different meanings. Compare “she will meet me” and “she would meet me”. Now copula verbs are a very different thing, and English only has one true copula verb, the highly irregular to be. Copulas connect distinc elements in a sentence, such as a subject and an adjective (“the girl is tall”), and it can also be used as an auxiliary verb (“the people are running”). Like I said, English only has one true copula verb, but there are some verbs that can behave like copulas occasionally. An example is the verb to get in the sentence “she got sick”, which behaves like a copula in this sentence, emphasizing the transition from healthy to sick.163 Views · 1 Upvote Promoted by Grammarly Better writing.

Their vocabularies continue to increase and this allows them to produce longer and more complex sentences. Their ability to put sounds together further develops. They begin to produce words with different syllable structures. Language continues to develop in the context of interaction with others. For information on this critical context, please refer to Interacting. Understanding and Using New Words - Ever-Increasing Vocabularies Twenty-four to thirty-six month-old toddlers' understanding of words continues to develop alongside their use of new words. Toddlers learn what words mean one word at a time. They understand general words before more specific words.

It is commonly referred to as a tense, although it also encodes certain information about aspect in addition to present time. It is called \"\"simple\"\" because its basic form consists of a single word (like write or writes ), in contrast with other present tense forms such as the present progressive ( is writing) and present perfect ( has written ). For nearly all English verbs the simple present is identical to the base form ( dictionary form) of the verb, except when the subject is third- person singular, in which case the ending - (e)s is added. There are a few verbs with irregular forms, the most notable being the copula be, which has the simple present forms am, is, and are.

In Molecular&Cellular Biology; in Biopharma since 1996Answered Nov 12, 2017 · Author has 1.2k answers and 444.5k answer views Originally Answered: What makes an allele dominant or recessive? Any simple answer to this is incomplete and flawed. Embrace the complexity and you will go much further. Take the sickle cell anemia allele, which is a single base change resulting in a single amino acid substitution. It is often presented as an example of a recessive allele which is less functional; heterozygotes have normal red blood cells but homozygotes have blood cells that sickle when depleted of oxygen. But the exact same allele has a dominant phenotype: resistance to malaria. This can be seen in the enrichment of the sickle allele or the related beta thalassemia alleles (same gene, different mutations) in populations where malaria is endemic. And the same allele is dominant in low oxygen tension situations, such as high altitude. So three important lessons here from a single allele: an allele’s dominance can be environment dependent, the same allele may be dominant for one phenotype and recessive for another and a less-functional version can be dominant for a phenotype."

It doesn’t usually mean a physical copy of something (although, it can) – it means the written script, usually for a commercial. The long history of what words mean what in the world of acting can be confusing, and it doesn’t stop with the word ‘copy’. I got a note one night from a voiceover client who had a question about a voice class I was teaching, in which instead of performing scripts provided by me, the students were invited to ‘bring their own copy’, or BYOC. He didn’t know what that meant, but had some ideas. He wondered if he needed to bring a copy of his voice on CD, record some words on his laptop and bring that; he really was confused and asked for clarification. I don’t blame him. Unlike some words used in the industry, ‘copy’ isn’t very intuitive. And although it comes from the age of mimeograph fluid, toner and carbon paper, it doesn’t hold much of a connection to the state of affairs today."

"text": "\"Published by jsmith Jan 27, 2010 (last update: Aug 20, 2010)Copy constructors, assignment operators, and exception safe assignment Score: 4.2/5 (2820 votes)What is a copy constructor? A copy constructor is a special constructor for a class/struct that is used to make a copy of an existing instance. According to the C++ standard, the copy constructor for My Class must have one of the following signatures:1 2 3 4My Class ( const My Class& other ); My Class ( My Class& other ); My Class ( volatile const My Class& other ); My Class ( volatile My Class& other );Note that none of the following constructors, despite the fact that they could do the same thing as a copy constructor, are copy constructors:1 2My Class ( My Class* other ); My Class ( const My Class* other );or my personal favorite way to create an infinite loop in C++: My Class ( My Class other );When do I need to write a copy constructor? First, you should understand that if you do not declare a copy constructor, the compiler gives you one implicitly. The implicit copy constructor does a member-wise copy of the source object. For example, given the class:1 2 3 4 5class My Class { int x; char c; std::string s; };the compiler-provided copy constructor is exactly equivalent to:1 2 3My Class:: My Class ( const My Class& other ) : x ( other.x ), c ( other.c ), s ( other.s ) {}In many cases, this is sufficient. However, there are certain circumstances where the member-wise copy version is not good enough. By far, the most common reason the default copy constructor is not sufficient is because the object contains raw pointers and you need to take a \"\"deep\"\" copy of the pointer. That is, you don't want to copy the pointer itself; rather you want to copy what the pointer points to. Why do you need to take \"\"deep\"\" copies?"

It is aggravated by the easy access to and the ease of cutting and pasting from a wide range of materials available on the internet. Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offence in the academic world. It constitutes academic theft - the offender has 'stolen' the work of others and presented the stolen work as if it were his or her own. It goes to the integrity and honesty of a person. It stifles creativity and originality, and defeats the purpose of education. In this University, plagiarism is a disciplinary offence. Any student who commits the offence is liable to disciplinary action. It is disappointing to witness an increase of plagiarism in the University at both undergraduate and graduate levels in recent years."

As she passed through the security checkpoint at Atlanta’s busy airport, she asked a TSA agent to “opt out” of being screened by a full-body scanner. Under the agency’s rules, she received an automatic “enhanced” pat-down. She wishes she hadn’t. “I was left waiting for an agent to come by and give me a pat-down,” says Holley, who works for the federal government in Hartford, Conn. “I waited 15 minutes. ”She adds, “I’m wondering whether TSA has decided to leave those who opt out hanging so we’ll eventually get tired of waiting and give in, the way nearly everyone else does. I never see anyone else opting out anymore. ”Holley — not her real name because she’s afraid the TSA will make her wait even longer the next time she’s in Atlanta — committed one of the passenger screening “no-nos” that you need to know about before your next flight. They include cracking jokes, mentioning certain laws and sometimes, just asking simple questions."

( Photo: Christian Gooden, AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREFrequent business traveler Amy Rodgers has a love-hate relationship with the TSA's pre-check screening program. The program — in effect at 118 U. S. airports — aims for speedy processing of select passengers who have paid a fee, been fingerprinted and undergone a computer security check. Such travelers go through designated lanes and — unlike other passengers —are allowed to leave on shoes,light jackets and belt. They can keep a laptop in its case and liquids and gels in a carry-on bag. Rodgers, a consultant in New Berlin, Wis., says the program is \"\"excellent\"\" and once \"\"saved\"\" her from missing a flight when she arrived late. She, however, detests when TSA personnel — in an attempt to fully use staff and speed up the standard security lines — direct non-approved travelers to use the pre-check lanes. \"\" I hate it,\"\" says Rodgers, a USA TODAY Road Warrior who volunteers travel information. \"\" The people not approved for the program are confused about what to do.

While the TSA claims that the purpose is to search for explosives, they are also capable of tracing the level of adrenaline in the body. The machines will also be capable of detecting pieces marijuana within the body or on clothes and skin. “Within the next year or two, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away,” reports Gizmodo. “From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you. ”The scanners have been developed by the CIA’s technology front group, In-Q-Tel. The company has continually pushed Minority Report style pre-crime technologies and is seemingly obsessed with dominating electrical appliances and turning them into tools for surveillance. The scanners are said to be millions of times faster and more sensitive than the current naked body scanners the TSA uses, and have a much more extensive range. They can potentially be used on anyone and everyone entering an airport, or any public place for that matter, much like the iris scanners in Philip K. Dick’s landmark dystopia. Subcontractor Genia Photonics boasts that the scanners are also extremely portable and can be moved around easily."

"text": "Despite the TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids rule having been in existence for nearly ten years, many people are still a bit confused by, or just want to double check that they are in compliance of, the rules regarding bringing liquids on a plane. Many people may think that some things with liquid in it (like makeup) or a container that’s bigger than 3.4 ounces yet has less than that amount in it still qualify (spoiler alert: they don’t). So let’s run through every scenario we can think of and determine whether it’s allowed.what does the 3-1-1 Liquids rule mean? People know this phrase, but many are unsure of what it specifically means. Well, according to TSA rules, the “3” stands for 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) of liquid, the first “1” stands for one clear zip-lock bag holding your 3.4 ounce containers, and the second “1” means per traveler. So there you go, you are allowed one bag with as many 3.4 ounce containers as can fit into your carry-on.3 = 3.4 ounce containers (you may not Carry-on larger containers with less than 3.4 ounces of liquid)1 = 1 Clear Zip-Lock Bag (with as many 3.4 ounce containers as you can reasonably fit in)1 = 1 Per Person (no exceptions)If you would prefer not to do any math, we recommend this TSA approved set of containers and plastic bag to avoid any confusion. Obviously, if you are checking your bag then you can place full-size liquids in there, but those should still be in a plastic zip-lock bag as well, if for no other reason than the cap might come off and everything gets all over your clothes. Why was this rule implemented? A terrorist plot in the U. K. attempted to carry liquid explosives onto a plane, disguising them as soft drinks. This led to lasting legislation in the United States, requiring everyone to significantly alter their travel methods, especially when it came to soaps and shampoos."

Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. WASHINGTON — The costs of your airline travel will rise a little today, thanks to the federal government. Airline passenger security fees charged by the Transportation Security Administration are increasing because of the congressional budget deal passed in December. The fee has traditionally been collected to fund the TSA’s airport security measures, but not this time. Most of the new revenue will go to pay down the federal deficit. Until Monday, a passenger was charged $2.50 for each leg of a journey. For a nonstop round trip, the cost was $5. For a round trip with a connection each way, the cost was $10.

These include being 18 years of age at the time you apply and being a US citizen through birth or able to prove nationalization. You must be fluent in English and have a high school diploma, General Education Development (GED) equivalent, or one or more years of experience in a related security position. A full background check, including credit check, is also conducted of any applicant looking to become a TSA screener. TSA screeners work in airports at security checkpoints and in baggage handling to ensure that no dangerous or contraband items pass onto an airplane. To become a TSA screener, you need to be able to handle stressful situations and offer excellent customer service to people who may be frustrated, tired, and angry at dealing with security procedures. Having a background in security techniques, especially those involving the use of X-ray equipment, and customer service can help you get a job as a TSA screener. To begin the application process to become a TSA screener, you should either contact your local TSA office or visit the TSA website and apply for the position. You may need to provide proof of US citizenship, as well as other documentation such as a high school diploma or GED certificate. Certain physical requirements are also expected of you, such as the ability to repeatedly and regularly lift up to 70 pounds (over 31 kg), stand for up to four hours without a break, and walk up to two miles (over three km) during a single shift."

Fortunately, resigning to an extra long wait (and the cumbersome task of unpacking nearly all of the contents of your carry-on) is slowly becoming a trend of the past. In 2011, the Transportation Security Administration launched the TSA Pre Check program as an intelligence-based approach to expediting airport security. Travelers can become part of the TSA Pre Check program in one of three ways: by pre-enrolling on the TSA.gov site; by invitation through an airline's frequent flier program; or by admission into another Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler program like Global Entry, NEXUS or SENTRI. Over the past several years, TSA Pre Check has funneled more than 55 million travelers through expedited security lines, according to a TSA official. And for frequent fliers, the service has been a welcome change. But the program's implementation is still underway and its ability to accommodate a growing number of travelers has yet to be determined. Regardless, there's no better traveler than an informed one. To help you navigate the ins and outs of TSA Pre Check, U. S. News sifted through the regulations and gathered insight from a TSA official and Airfarewatchdog President and CEO George Hobica. ( Hobica's site maintains a TSA Pre Check airport guide that shows which airports, terminals and airlines offer Pre Check access.)"

"text": "Clear Members Fly through Airport Securityby Rebecca Schweitzer Long lines plague airport security. Travelers must arrive extra early to ensure they do not stand in line so long that they eventually arrive at the front of the line only to stand there, barefoot watching their plane take off without them. These long lines, confusing security rules and endless hours at the airport before a flight have become a routine part of travel. Nothing is predictable, and there seems to be nothing anyone can do about it except wish that a magic speed pass existed make the process faster. Traveler entering Clear Lane Well, Clear, a new airport security membership, has the golden ticket. Members of the clear program speed through security lines in minutes. Clear security lanes are located in 18 airports in the United States. Clear is scheduled to open at one more airports soon and has plans to add more airports in the future. See the list of airports at the end of this article. Clear members do not escape the security process; they just get through it more quickly."

"text": "Earlier in February, the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a circular directing all deposit money banks to implement the Remita e-Collection Platform. The Remita e-Collection is a technology platform deployed by the Federal Government to support the collection and remittance of all government revenue to a Consolidated Account domiciled with the CBN. This marked the beginning of the full implementation of Treasury Single Account (TSA) system in Nigeria. Though Section 80 (1) of the 1999 Constitution as amended states “All revenues, or other moneys raised or received by the Federation (not being revenues or other moneys payable under this Constitution or any Act of the National Assembly into any other public fund of the Federation established for a specific purpose) shall be paid into and form one Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation”; successive governments have continued to operate multiple accounts for the collection and spending of government revenue in flagrant disregard to the provision of the constitution which requires that all government revenues be remitted into a single account. It was not until 2012 that government ran a pilot scheme for a single account using 217 ministries, department and agencies as a test case. The pilot scheme saved the country about N500 billion in frivolous spending. The success of the pilot scheme motivated the government to fully implement TSA, leading to the directives to banks to implement the technology platform that will help accommodate all MDA’s in the TSA scheme. The recent directives by President Mohammed Buhari that all government revenues should be remitted to a Treasury Single Account is in consonance with this programme and in compliance with the provisions of the 1999 constitution. But what is a Treasury Single Account? In a nutshell, a Treasury Single Account is a public accounting system under which all government revenue, receipts and income and collected into one single account, usually maintained by the country’s Central Bank and all payments done through this account as well."

The TSA interview process, like that of other government agencies, has a very extensive interview process. Applicants are required to meet or exceed expectations at every step to keep moving forward in the interview process. There can be a lot of competition for TSA positions so applicants should be prepared to put their best foot forward and understand the interview process beforehand. The TSA uses a behavioral interview process that evaluates candidates' work experience and personality to determine who is best suited for work in government security. Application To apply for a job with the TSA, there are applications and resumes to send in before you can even be considered for the position. The applications that must be filled out are several pages long and include a lot more than just what positions you've held previously. Some of the questions asked on the application are pre-interview questions designed to give a cursory analysis of your work ethic, personality and judge how you react to different situations. Other questions provide information about your background, including inquiring about any criminal history that you might have. Background Check Once you've moved forward in the interview process and are being considered for a position with the TSA you are asked to sign a waiver and provide your social security number for a background check."

"text": "TSA Searches For Large Sums Of Cash : Why Its Wrong March 28, 2011 by flyingfish 17 Comments The topic of passengers being questioned by the Transportation Security Administration ( TSA) when flying with cash comes up somewhat often and it’s a truly troubling question. In the past week I was contacted by two travelers who encountered similar TSA incidents of being questioned regarding flying with cash at two different airports, headed to two different destinations. The first email came from Karen Phillips, who was flying from New York’s JFK International Airport ( JFK) to Las Vegas (LAS) for a long weekend bachelorette celebration. Karen wrote that she was pulled aside by a TSA Transportation Security Officer (TSO) and assumed it was due to her leaving her i Pad in her bag. Rather than having her i Pad removed the TSA TSO pulled out her bank envelope with US$6,000 in cash in it and proceeded to question why she was traveling with “ such an extravagant amount of money. ” The second email comes from a doctor, who requested his name not be used, who is part of volunteer medical organization that brings medial aid to rural area in Central and South America. The doctor states that he passed through security and upon a search of his bag was questioned about traveling with US$25,000 in cash … despite producing a US Treasury Fin CEN Form 105, that legally declares the currency he was traveling internationally with in excess of US$10,000. Incidents where people are questioned by the TSA about traveling with cash, of any amount, are troubling for a number of reasons. The primary reasons for the TSA questioning passengers about cash are problematic in that TSA TSOs are not law enforcement and that cash is not a danger to travel or the “ movement for people and commerce. ” People fly with cash for many reasons, not to mention that possessing legal currency from any nation is not illegal."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recommends that you arrive at the airport two hours prior to the departure time for domestic and three hours prior to international flights. We encourage passengers to give themselves additional time during peak travel periods and inclement weather. Is it possible to travel between terminals and concourses without going through security screening? Terminal One and Terminal Two, as well as all of the concourses, are connected inside the security area making it unnecessary to exit and re-enter security screening for a connection. Can I escort a child or someone needing help to the gate? The passenger's airline can issue a pass for someone to escort an unaccompanied minor child, an elderly person or someone with accessibility needs through the security screening checkpoint and to the gate. A pass can also be issued to meet passengers that need special assistance at the gate. Please be aware that you are still required to show valid government issued photo identification.

[ 2] Because the skull cannot expand perpendicular to the fused suture, it compensates by growing more in the direction parallel to the closed sutures. [ 2] Sometimes the resulting growth pattern provides the necessary space for the growing brain, but results in an abnormal head shape and abnormal facial features. [ 2] In cases in which the compensation does not effectively provide enough space for the growing brain, craniosynostosis results in increased intracranial pressure leading possibly to visual impairment, sleeping impairment, eating difficulties, or an impairment of mental development combined with a significant reduction in IQ.

Important Anatomic Factors Two anatomic factors can complicate the otherwise straightforward clinical presentation of a patient with horizontal diplopia, a face turn toward the paretic lateral rectus, impaired abduction toward the paretic lateral rectus, and esotropia in forced primary gaze. The sixth nerve has a relatively long course from its nucleus in the pons to the lateral rectus ( Figure 1) and, depending on the location of the pathology, other important neurologic or anatomic structures might also be compromised ( Figure 2 ).

"text": "\"Apert syndrome Hand in Apert syndrome with syndactyly Specialty Medical genetics Apert syndrome is a form of acrocephalosyndactyly, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands and feet. It is classified as a branchial arch syndrome, affecting the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Disturbances in the development of the branchial arches in fetal development create lasting and widespread effects. In 1906, Eugène Apert, a French physician, described nine people sharing similar attributes and characteristics. [ 1] Linguistically, in the term \"\"acrocephalosyndactyly\"\", acro is Greek for \"\"peak\"\", referring to the \"\"peaked\"\" head that is common in the syndrome; cephalo, also from Greek, is a combining form meaning \"\"head\"\"; syndactyly refers to webbing of fingers and toes. In embryology, the hands and feet have selective cells that die in a process called selective cell death, or apoptosis, causing separation of the digits. In the case of acrocephalosyndactyly, selective cell death does not occur and skin, and rarely bone, between the fingers and toes fuses. The cranial bones are affected as well, similar to Crouzon syndrome and Pfeiffer syndrome. Craniosynostosis occurs when the fetal skull and facial bones fuse too soon in utero, disrupting normal bone growth. Fusion of different sutures leads to different patterns of growth on the skull."

Craniosynostosis is a birth defect in which the bones in a baby’s skull join together too early. This happens before the baby’s brain is fully formed. As the baby’s brain grows, the skull can become more misshapen. The spaces between a typical baby’s skull bones are filled with flexible material and called sutures. These sutures allow the skull to grow as the baby’s brain grows. Around two years of age, a child’s skull bones begin to join together because the sutures become bone."

"text": "« Back to Glossary Index What is craniosynotosis? Craniosynostosis is the term for a group of conditions in which a baby’s head develops abnormally because the seams between the bones close prematurely. This prevents the head from growing normally and may be associated with changes in the upper facial bones. Craniosynostosis can usually be recognized at birth, but for a very small number of children it does not become obvious until one year of age or older. How does craniosynostosis occur? Before birth and early in infancy, a child’s brain grows very rapidly, reaching 70 percent of its eventual adult size in the first year. To keep up with this growth, the head must expand rapidly while keeping the brain protected. This expansion is possible because the head does not consist of a single bone; there are several bones separated by narrow openings, or seams. As the brain grows, these bones are pushed apart, and new bone forms in the seams (which are called sutures). The shape and location of these bones enables the head to expand in several directions — front-to-back as well as side-to-side."

It is based on the principles of organization development (including learning organizations), human resource management, and change theory to move the corporation from an ethnocentric to a geocentric corporate worldview in all its business and people practices, policies, procedures, and technologies. The model is envisioned as a viable and ethical approach to the challenges of globalization. There are a number of challenges to the implementation of the model, including the difficulties in dealing with the ambiguities of a process that is not concrete and fully specified. Further, a truly global model will be applicable across cultures. There is no existing evidence of the application of the model in cultural contexts other than the US. As a result, in addition to exploring some human resource development implications of the model, the article also suggests several areas for future research. Previous article Next article1. Introduction With the fast-paced global changes facing the corporate sector and increased competition in the marketplace, globalization and diversity issues are ever more crucial to the survival and success of business organizations.

It is divided into several sections that describe the activities involved in HRM and the relationship between HRM and an organisation’s business strategy. The material contained in this chapter serves as the basis upon which the entire book is built. What is Human Resource Management? The focus of human resource management (HRM) is on managing people within the employer-employee relationship. It involves the productive use of people in achieving the organisation's strategic business objectives and the satisfaction of individual employee needs. HRM is a major contributor to the success of an enterprise because it is in a key position 'to affect customers, business results and ultimately shareholder value'. Ineffective HRM is a major barrier to employee satisfaction and organisation success. HRM and Management The purpose of HRM is to improve the productive contribution of people, and should therefore be related to all other aspects of management. There are two basic approaches to HRM: instrumental HRM - (or hard) approach that stresses the rational, quantitative and strategic aspects of managing human resources; and humanistic HRM - (or soft) approach that emphasises the integration of HR policies and practices with strategic business objectives, but recognises that competitive advantage is achieved by employees with superior know-how, commitment, job satisfaction, adaptability and motivation."

"text": "\"THE HAY JOB EVALUATION SYSTEM1. Introduction The Hay Job Grading Scheme was developed in the early 1950's by E. N. Hay and Associates. It is a scheme which is based on the \"\"points factor\"\" approach. This is a common approach to job grading. The process has the following basic steps: A description of the job is made including such things as: expertise required, accountabilities, experience required, functions performed, financial impact of the job, freedom to decide and act, number of staff supervised, pre-eminence of the position, influence of the position within the company etc. The various aspects of the job given in the description are usually split into categories. For example, in the Hay system the categories are: ♦ Know How ♦ Problem Solving ♦ Accountability ♦ Working Conditions (This was included after the initial creation of the scheme in an attempt to enable the Hay system to be applied to blue collar occupations). Other systems may have different sets of categories. For example, the OCR system, uses the following categories: ♦ Knowledge, Skills and Experience ♦ Reasoning and Decision Making ♦ Communication and Influence ♦ Accountability and Responsibility The description of the job is done under the headings given by the job grading system's categories. This description of the job is then compared with a standard set of descriptors (i.e. a set of statements from the job grading manual which describe the aspects of a job) and the most appropriate descriptors, in each category, for that job are selected from the set."

Ethics reflect beliefs about what is right, what is wrong, what is just, what is unjust, what is good, and what is bad in terms of human behavior. Ethical principles and values serve as a guide to behavior on a personal level, within professions, and at the organizational level. Key Termsbehavior: The way a living creature acts.ethics: The study of principles relating to right and wrong conduct.values: A collection of guiding principles; what one deems to be correct, important, and desirable in life, especially regarding personal conduct. Ethics are the set of moral principles that guide a person’s behavior. These morals are shaped by social norms, cultural practices, and religious influences. Ethics reflect beliefs about what is right, what is wrong, what is just, what is unjust, what is good, and what is bad in terms of human behavior. They serve as a compass to direct how people should behave toward each other, understand and fulfill their obligations to society, and live their lives. While ethical beliefs are held by individuals, they can also be reflected in the values, practices, and policies that shape the choices made by decision makers on behalf of their organizations."

S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which report averages of eight hours each for sleep and work. That means even time for your personal and professional relationships. Small-business workplace culture operates similarly to family culture, where everyone has a role or multiple roles. The ideal small-business workplace culture, like a family, fosters individual roles and a team atmosphere working toward a common goal: success. Workplace Culture While your family may not define its culture, it has one. So does every business, and workplace culture is especially important for a small business, where the same group of people interact day-to-day and often overlap in roles. Workplace culture is intangible but imperative to small-business success; it is made up of shared values, personality traits, leadership styles and working behaviors. The workplace culture is often set by its leaders and summarized in the company's mission statement, vision or corporate goals. Once set (not necessarily \"\"in stone\"\"), workplace culture influences hiring decisions and how well an employee will fit within it.

Chuck Blore, a partner in the advertising firm Chuck Blore & Don Ruchman, Inc., quoted by Ben H. Bagdikian, The Media Monopoly, Sixth Edition, (Beacon Press, 2000), p.185. Ever since mass media became mass media, companies have naturally used this means of communications to let a large number of people know about their products. There is nothing wrong with that, as it allows innovative ideas and concepts to be shared with others. However, as the years have progressed, the sophistication of advertising methods and techniques has advanced, enticing and shaping and even creating consumerism and needs where there has been none before, or turning luxuries into necessities. This section introduces some of the issues and concerns this raises. On this page: Free media channels have a cost The Audience as the Product The Audience also as the Consumer Manipulating images of people in commercials Advertorials — Advertisements disguised as News!Advertainment — Advertisements disguised as Entertainment!Product Placement Political influence Military in Movies — Less Shock, More Awe Globalization of consumers Free media channels have a cost Various free media such as the numerous channels available in America and other nations are naturally subsidized with advertising to help pay the costs. As corporate competition has increased, so too has the need for returns on massive expenditures on advertising. Industries spend millions, even billions of dollars to win our hearts and minds, and to influence our choices towards their products and ideas. This often means such media outlets attract greater funds than those outlets funded through public funding or TV licenses."

In \"\"Three Bell Curves: Business Culture Decoded\"\" [3] Rosauer outlines the three manageable ingredients he says guides the culture of any business. Ingredient #1 – Employee (focus on engagement) #2 The Work (focus on eliminating waste increasing value) waste #3 The Customer (focus on likelihood of referral). The purpose of the Three Bell Curves methodology is to bring leadership, their employees, the work and the customer together for focus without distraction, leading to an improvement in culture and brand. Reliance of the research and findings of Sirota Survey Intelligence, [4] who has been gathering employee data worldwide since 1972, the Lean Enterprise Institute, [5] Cambridge, MA, and Fred Reichheld/Bain/Satmetrix research relating to Net Promoter Score. [ 6]Ravasi and Schultz (2006) wrote that organizational culture is a set of shared assumptions that guide what happens in organizations by defining appropriate behavior for various situations. [ 7] It is also the pattern of such collective behaviors and assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of perceiving and, even, thinking and feeling. Thus, organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders."

"text": "Dystopia and Science Fiction: Blade Runner, Brazil and Beyond (or, Who’s Dystopia Is It?) ( or, Dystopia is in the Eyes of the (frightened) Beholder)Intro: What is Dystopia? First, what is utopia?· Ask class to define utopia· Utopia – term comes from novel (of sorts) by Thomas More; first English version published in 1551; offered a description of a fictive ideal society based around notions of equality, social harmony, economic prosperity and political stability· More presents his story as an account told to him by another European who had traveled there; he tries to situate it as real· More’s Utopia was a completely planned community based upon controlling individual impulses that could be destructive to the public good. Private property is unknown, everyone where’s the same clothes so there’s no envy of wealth or social status, and there’s no pretext for avoiding work; there are not bars or places that might corrupt people and no hiding places or any place where “secret meetings” could be held; at the same time, there’s no poverty, hunger, violence or other social problems that were common to More’s time and still are today· The word “utopia”: although the novel was written in Latin, the word is a combination of two Greek words, and literally means “no place”; when pronounced in Latin, however, it means “good place.” The combination of these two meanings informs the way we currently view the word now: utopia is a place that is essentially fictive—that doesn’t exist in our world—and also an ideal place, that we can create· Novel was not only descriptive, but also prescriptive: it didn’t just describe this ideal society, it offered a detailed blueprint of how such a society might be run· Interestingly, for More’s Utopia to function it required the use of slave labor (gained through imperialistic excursions against neighboring cultures) as well as methods of intense social control that placed fairly severe limits on individual freedom· It’s been an enduring but problematic idea, although the part of More’s vision that really stuck in the cultural imagination is the equality/harmony/prosperity thing So what does dystopia mean? What is dystopian fiction? Definition of Dystopia, Dystopian fiction· In its most basic sense, you could say that dystopia is the opposite of utopia, referring to fictional societies that are incredibly imperfect, lacking the harmonious and egalitarian qualities of life depicted in utopias· But it’s not exactly opposite, in that dystopias often contain many of the same elements as utopias —such as intense measures of social control—but these elements are taken to horrific extremes, with emphasis upon their negative effects· The term has been around since the 19 th century; it was coined by English philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill in 1868; but as a genre of fiction, it really took off in the 20 th century and became very prevalent in the years after World War II· Dystopian literature is a subset of the larger category of anti-Utopian literature, which generally satirizes Utopian thinking; dystopian literature stands out from other anti-utopian writing in that it doesn’t just say what’s wrong with utopian models of society, but offers an alternate view of social potentialities· Dystopian fictions are fundamentally concerned with problems of the political and cultural context that produces them; For example, George Orwell’s 1984, one of the most famous dystopian novels, was written in 1949, shortly after World War II and the rise of totalitarian states on the right and the left, such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin; it’s not surprising then that Orwell would depict Big Brother and the Thought Police, elements of a profoundly oppressive state bent on maintaining absolute control over individuals (including even their thoughts)· Like utopian writing, there is often a prescriptive element —Dystopian fictions almost always offer some kind of warning (often implicit) of what will happen should present trends continue (example? ) Cultural and Political Sources of Dystopian Fiction What were some of the cultural and political conditions that have been popular sources of dystopian fiction in the 20 th century?· State-sponsored violence and Totalitarianism on both the right and left: Nazi Germany, the Stalinist Soviet Union· Growing awareness of environmental damage (side-effects of industry)· Rapid advances in technology: the impact of the industrial revolution (see the flaming smokestacks in Blade Runner), television, computers and information technology (which can have the by-product of enhancing the efficiency and power of surveillance techniques)· After WWII, the new capability through nuclear weapons for utter annhiliation of humans and human culture as we know it Again, it’s important to remember that Dystopian fictions tend to reflect the fears and anxieties of the cultural context from which they emerge Examples of Dystopian Fiction Dystopian elements in texts from the course (ask students to offer examples)· Metropolis (Fritz Lang)· H. G. Wells was early, prominent dystopian thinker and writer; his most famous dystopian fiction is probably The Time Machine: class divisions cause horrific evolution to extreme class structure, with aboveground “elites” serving as food for underground “workers”· “The Stepford Wives” perhaps has dystopian elements Other classic and contemporary dystopian fictions:· Dystopian fiction is one of those places where line becomes blurred between what’s sci-fi and what’s not; the following mostly seem to qualify as s/f, because almost all deal with fictive future societies, although not all feature other elements of s/f, like time travel, space flight, amazing technologies, etc."

That’s it. It’s what an intranet is in simple, everyday language. It’s also what you can say to explain an intranet to most employees (or to your retired uncle when he asks what you’re doing for work these days). An intranet wears many hats inside an organization. It’s a website, communications channel and collaboration platform. It helps people work better by combining the best features of wikis, blogs, document and content management systems. An intranet makes it easy for everyone inside an organization to contribute, not just a select few."

"text": "\"Best Corporate Governance Practice In this section we present our Five Golden Rules of best corporate governance practice - key concepts in embracing good corporate governance and best practices in business. Embracing these principles will mean the company’s culture and therefore public image will shine out as an example of an open, well and fairly run organisation. The public image of a corporation will quite accurately reflect the culture of that body. It follows, then, that good corporate governance has to be in the bones and bloodstream of the organisation since this in turn will be reflected in the culture. To carry the analogy further, in the same way that healthy blood and bones are reflected in the naturally healthy look of a person, so an organisation whose internal functions are healthy will naturally look so from an external perspective. Our Golden Rules of best corporate governance practice are like a health manual for your organisation and come with a practical diagnosis and treatment programme which we set out in our Corporate Governance Course, a series of ebooks delivered over 6 days by email. The first ebook, an introduction to corporate governance and the ACG methodology, is available free of charge - simply subscribe to this site to receive your copy (see the form at the top right of the page). Corporate cultures and vision When Bill Hewlett and I put together the initial plans for our business enterprise in 1937 ... (we decided) that we wanted to direct our efforts towards making important technical contributions to the advancement of science, industry and human welfare. The above quotation expresses the early aspirations of two entrepreneurs when they started their business. The principles these two men espoused at the beginning became part of the ethos of the business they founded and persist to this day."

DAVE WHEELER FOR HBRWarren Buffett is rightfully admired for his investment record as chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, which has outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 10% annually during his 50-year tenure. Much less attention is paid, however, to the manner in which Buffett manages the company itself. This is somewhat surprising, given that his management system is very different from those of other publicly traded companies. Berkshire Hathaway is known for its extreme decentralization. The company’s more than 80 operating subsidiaries have complete independence and minimal oversight from headquarters, which requires little else besides regular financial statements and the return of excess cash that is not needed to sustain and grow the business. The company does not ask for budgets, financial forecasts, or strategy documents. It has no central marketing, procurement, sales, HR, IT, or legal department. It does not even have a General Counsel. This is for a corporation greater in size than General Electric, General Motors, IBM, or Chevron. How exactly does such a structure work, given that it defies almost every major tenet taught in business school regarding management and governance?"

"text": "\"School Culture Rewiredby Steve Gruenert and Todd Whitaker Table of Contents Chapter 1. Defining Organizational Culture Have you ever noticed how service can vary from restaurant to restaurant? At some, you walk in and are greeted by a friendly, attractive host who whisks you away to an available table; at others, you can't get anyone to make eye contact with you, let alone greet you in a friendly way. Often, such a disparity can be found among restaurants that are part of the same chain! What is going on? How can two restaurants from the same company be so dramatically different? Similar disparities can be found between and within schools and districts: You walk into some schools and immediately feel welcome; you walk into others and you feel like an intruder. In some schools, every teacher seems to be out from behind the desk, lessons are infused with technology, and students appear to be highly engaged in learning; in others, teachers seem to use their desks as fortresses and students appear distracted or disengaged. In both schools, teachers will tell you that what they're doing is effective. Why is it that some schools embrace new ideas, while others consider them distractions?"

"text": "\"Question Asked 3 years ago Annangi Subba Rao73.73 Indian Institute of Soil Science How can we properly define organic manure? By Dictionary meaning manure is animal excreta usually with straw,used to fertilize land.. The Thesaurus gives slightly elaborate definition-any animal or plant material used to fertilize land especially animal excreta usually with litter material. There is no mention of rotting or composting in the definition. The compost is the decomposed remnants of organic material,usually plant origin but may include animal dung. Main concern is fresh dung may contain weed seeds and pathogens. Some manures like farm (yard) manure ,cattle dung, with straw/bedding material are subjected varying periods of rotting. Some excreta/droppings of sheep or goat are simply dried and applied. Poultry manure may be with or with out litter, composted or simply dried. While manure is differently handled, composting is done under controlled conditions and the product is well defined. But manure definition doe not specify that it should be composted."

They have become internationally known because of the running of the bulls, where the bulls are lead through the streets of the old quarter as far as the bull ring by runners. The fiestas are celebrated in honor of San Fermin, patron saint of Navarra, although the religious aspect would seem to have taken on a secondary role over the last number of years. Nowadays, the fiestas are seen as a mass gathering of people from all the corners of the world and where the partying, the fun and the joy of it all are the most outstanding ingredients. The Encierro ... The Running of the Bulls The Encierro is the event at the heart of the Sanfermines and makes the fiesta a spectacle that would be unimaginable in any other place in the world. It was born from need: getting the bulls from outside the city into the bullring. The encierro takes place from July 7th to 14th and starts at the corral in Calle Santo Domingo when the clock on the church of San Cernin strikes eight o\"\"clock in the morning. After the launching of two rockets, the bulls charge behind the runners for 825 metres, the distance between the corral and the bullring. The run usually lasts between three and four minutes although it has sometimes taken over ten minutes, especially if one of the bulls has been isolated from his companions.

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Start up a Beef Cow Calf Operation A beef cow-calf operation is an operation on a farm or ranch where you have cows and bulls that are bred together to produce calves. Calves are often sold to the market to be grown into beefers. Note that there are two types of cow-calf operations: commercial and seedstock. Commercial generally involves cross-bred cows that are bred to produce calves that are mainly for beef production. Commercial can also have cows of the same breed, but most are not purebred cows. Seedstock operations, on the other hand, are where producers raise a favorite breed (sometimes more than one) and breeds cows to get calves that are grown and sold to other producers as replacement stock. Generally, most rookie cattlemen should start off as commercial cattlemen to gain the experience of calving cows, weaning calves, marketing calves, selecting cows and bulls and replacement heifers and culling the rest, etc. before they decide to go into the feedstock or purebred business . Steps1 Plan ahead. In this day and age, planning is the best way to determine how, what and where you are going to do the things you want to do."

V. and I noticed that when the OK corral was seen, the sign said, “O. K. CORRAL.” I’ve never seen it listed that way before that I can remember, so my question is, Was it called the OK Corral or the O. K. Corral and if the latter, what did the O. K. stand for? Thank you Joseph Frith? ? ? It is spelled O. K. Corral (with periods) by most everyone who studies and writes about it … as it is true to the 1880s signs. HOW THE O. K. CORRAL® GOT ITS NAME (Text taken from the historic display in the O. K. Corral Office Museum. ) The phrase “O. K.”, used to name Tombstone, Arizona’s historic O. K. Corral, had its origins in the Pennsylvania Dutch country of New York State in the mid-1800s. Today, the term appears in many languages, and has become one of the most used phrases in the world. It is even used in computer programs to indicate agreement. Not bad for an idiomatic expression that is over 150 years old and almost disappeared from use. Originally spelled with periods, this term outlived most similar abbreviations of the era owing to its use in President Martin Van Buren’s 1839 campaign for reelection."

Paid guests and drovers ride horseback and trail 300 head of Corriente rodeo steers over 100 miles. Seven 1800s-style wagons, pulled by teams, carry the guest’s gear. This cattle drive starts near Doyle, California along the California/Nevada border northwest of Reno and ends five days later at the Reno Livestock Event Center and Rodeo Grounds in downtown Reno. The Reno Rodeo Association Committee invited Lee Raine and I to ride along on this historic cattle drive. We loaded our bedrolls, saddles, and tepee and headed west from our summer camp on the west slope of Ruby Mountains in northeastern Nevada to the “Biggest Little City in the World,” Reno, Nevada. We arrived in Reno that evening and met up with Ira Gostin, Marketing and Media boss for the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive in 2005. Ira has been involved with this cattle drive for a number of years and proved very knowledgeable and informative. Ira gave us an overview of what we might experience on the drive.

"text": "The Ten Faces of Wyatt Earp – From Kevin Costner to Erroll Flynn Posted by Stacy Black8 years ago Wyatt Earp was a jack of all trades: gambler, buffalo hunter, con man, prospector, and Hollywood film consultant. But it’s as the fearless lawman who brought justice to Dodge City and made a last stand at Tombstone’s O. K. Corral that he’s best known. The historical facts might not stack up with the legend, but what’s certain is that the man contained multitudes. So how can only one actor do him justice? Lucky for us, there are plenty to choose from! Let’s move back in time from most recent backwards and see the manifold ways he was portrayed.1. Kevin Costner, Wyatt Earp (1994) While the other movies included here tend to take on pieces of Earp’s life, Costner deserves credit for painting on a larger canvass. He deals with Earp’s boyhood in Missouri, his gunfighting at Tombstone, and even his prospecting in Alaska. As such, Costner’s Earp is a more full-figured film portrait, even if it could have done with a little more trimming and focus.2. Kurt Russell, Tombstone (1993) This is one of the best Western portrayals of the Earp story — surprising, since Earp’s character is largely relegated to the background."

K. Corral was a 30-second shootout between lawmen and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys that took place at about 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory. It is generally regarded as the most famous shootout in the history of the American Wild West. The gunfight was the result of a long-simmering feud, with Cowboys Billy Claiborne, Ike and Billy Clanton, and Tom and Frank Mc Laury on one side and town Marshal Virgil Earp, Special Policeman Morgan Earp, Special Policeman Wyatt Earp, and temporary policeman Doc Holliday on the other side. All three Earp brothers had been the target of repeated death threats made by the Cowboys, who objected to the Earps' interference in their illegal activities. Billy Clanton and both Mc Laury brothers were killed. Ike Clanton claimed that he was unarmed and ran from the fight, along with Billy Claiborne."

Containerboard ( CCM or corrugated case material) is a type of paperboard specially manufactured for the production of corrugated board. It includes both linerboard and corrugating medium (or fluting), the two types of paper that make up corrugated board. Since containerboard is made mainly out of natural unbleached wood fibers, it is generally brown, although its shade may vary depending on the type of wood, pulping process, recycling rate and impurities content. For certain boxes that demand good presentation, white bleached pulp or coating is used on the top ply of the linerboard that goes outside the box. Manufacture [ edit]Main article: Paper machine Containerboard is made on modified paper machines that can handle higher grammages.

Items that most people utilize and discard without a second thought can teach us some astounding principles. One of the most common objects, both in the “real†world and the world of Destination Imagi Nationâ„¢, is cardboard. It is a rather unassuming material that we use in everything from cereal boxes to shipping containers to sets (both elaborate and simple). But would you believe it if I told you that cardboard can teach us something about engineering? While there are a few types of cardboard, we are specifically interested in corrugated cardboard. Like all other cardboards, corrugated cardboard is made from heavy paper and glue. But unlike your cereal box, this type consists of two flat linerboards and one wavy layer. The wavy/ fluted/arched board is sandwiched between the two flat boards. Architects have used arches for thousands of years, because the appropriately curved arch is the strongest way to span a gap."

Based on Kap Stone's annualized EBITDA performance in the second half of its fiscal 2017, West Rock estimates the EV/EBITDA multiples to be under 10 times before and 7 times after the full run rate of expected cost synergies and performance improvements. Upon closing, the acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to West Rock's adjusted earnings and cash flow, inclusive of purchase accounting adjustments. Kap Stone stockholders will have the option to receive $35.00 per share in cash, or to elect to receive 0.4981 West Rock shares per Kap Stone share, with elections of stock consideration capped at 25% of the outstanding Kap Stone shares but no limit on the number of Kap Stone shares that can receive cash consideration. Kap Stone's chairman, Roger Stone, and president and chief executive officer, Matt Kaplan, have entered into voting agreements, pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in support of the transaction, subject to certain limitations. West Rock will finance the cash consideration through the issuance of new debt under a fully committed financing package. West Rock expects to refinance existing Kap Stone debt assumed as part of the transaction upon closing. West Rock's expected leverage ratio at the closing of the transaction will be greater than 3.00x, and West Rock expects to return to its stated leverage ratio target of 2.25x to 2.50x by the end of fiscal 2019. The transaction is not conditional on financing. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, Kap Stone is a leading North American producer and distributor of containerboard, corrugated products and specialty papers, including liner and medium containerboard, kraft papers and saturating kraft."

What is the new two-box recycling program all about? The County has a new way of setting recyclables at the curb for collection. Instead of separating paper, boxboard and containers inside or beside the current box, the ‘Simple Sort’ system requires that materials be sorted into two separate boxes. All paper products like newspapers, flyers, cereal and tissue boxes, magazines and small corrugated cardboard boxes, plus the bag of plastic bags go into the existing black (or blue) recycling box. Containers like metal cans, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, jars and tubs go into the new, taller black box. Why is it called ‘Simple Sort’?‘Simple Sort’ is the theme for the 2-box system.

"text": "The Differences Between Folding Cartons and Rigid Boxes (Set-Up Boxes)March 13, 2014 By Sara Greasley 8 Comments What are the differences between folding cartons and rigid boxes? I get asked that a lot. There are many differences as well as similarities between the two. Often looking very similar, both folding cartons and rigid boxes are indeed boxes used for packaging and both are made of paperboard. Paperboard is basically thick paper that is sturdy enough to be used for packaging. The paperboard that is used for a rigid box can be as much as four times thicker than the paperboard used for a folding carton and is often referred to as chipboard (although I’ve heard some manufacturers refer to all paperboard as “chipboard”). Folding Cartons can be collapsed to lay flat and then reassembled into box form again and again. A rigid box cannot be collapsed and must remain in box form from manufacture to end user. While folding cartons routinely have the printing process applied directly to the box itself, rigid boxes generally have a separate wrapping of various possible materials glued to the box instead. Materials can include: leather, fabric, padding, fancy paper etc."

ORIt is a transverse and totally enclosed drain under a road or railway. Type of Culverts Pipe Single or Multiple Pipe Arch Single or Multiple Box Culvert Single or Multiple Bridge Culvert Arch Culvert Pipe culverts are made of smooth steel, corrugated metal, or concrete material. Their primary purpose is to convey water under roads, although a variety of wildlife use them as passageways. Pipe culverts typically range from 1- 6 feet in diameter and are the least expensive type of culvert. Round culverts are best suited to medium and high stream banks. Pipe Arch Single or Multiple Pipe-arch culverts provide low clearance, openings suitable for large waterways, and are more aesthetic. They may also provide a greater hydraulic advantage to fishes at low flows and require less road fill. Box Culvert Single or Multiple Box culverts are used to transmit water during brief runoff periods. Theses are usually used by wildlife because they remain dry most of the year."

"text": "\"All About Boxes The Basics We have included this section to help you select the proper style and type of box to meet your packaging and shipping needs. Measurements Box sizes are measured by using inner dimensions unless otherwise specified. The size of your contents actually determine the inner box dimensions. Domestically (within the United States), those dimensions are listed in the following sequence: Length (L) x Width (W) x Depth (D)*. Internationally, the dimensions are stated as Length (L) x Breadth (B) x Height (H). Dimensions are based on the opening of an assembled box. Looking at the opening, the longer of the two sides is considered the \"\"length.\"\" The shorter of the two sides is the \"\"width.\"\" The side perpendicular to the length and width is the \"\"depth\"\" of the box. * Exceptions are bookfolds, bin boxes & divider bins where \"\"width\"\" precedes \"\"length\"\" & \"\"depth\"\" of the measurement sequence. Back to Top How To Measure A Box - The Quick Way Looking at the opening of the box, measure the longest or length panel first."

My wife has a 1.3 CDTI corsa on a 56 plate, about a mile/ 5mins after starting vehicle the engine management light comes on, had it in the garage they said problem was with glow plugs, replaced glow plug timer, checked glow plugs. Still have not fixed problem they think it is the ECU (£600). Obviously I do not want to replace this and find out it still has not fixed it they would not take back the relay and charged me for that (Arnold Clark Dundee), does anyone know how I can fix this please car runs ok but wife refuses to drive car because of warning light. Mark January 2010Have had the same issue over the last two years, and have spent over £500, told at fist ECU and replaced at over £300 cost, light still came on few months later, and being told wiring issue to glow plug relay unit, and further £75.00 to have wires fixed, few weeks later light back on so just ran car till next service was due, as car running perfect, again garage checked and told needed new glow plug relay unit, and replaced, again light out for few days, and back on, so took back to garage, and told have done all checks possible, and if I wanted to investigate further would have to get Vauxhall Electrical Engineer to investigate, so have just decided to keep running with issue, as do not wish to through anymore cash, Car as done 84.500 Miles, and gets full service every year, and runs perfectly, other than the management light. Rambo April 2016Raymond September 2015I've had the same issue with the light coming on after a couple miles. Initially showed fault for fuel filter so drained and swapped out. Issue was then less bad but now showing for glow plug relay and glow plugs. I suspect the plugs are OK so am going for the relay first then plugs if it persists. samo August 2013engine management came on after about five minutes after starting car."

Decent to drive Good equipment and safety levels Willing engine Clever and well sized boot Seat comfort High starting price for five-door Dated cabin Storage could be better Manual and auto gearboxes would both welcome extra ratios One of the slowest performers in class1SHARESYou might be surprised to learn that there are already about 100,000 examples of the Opel Corsa on Australian roads; it’s just that you’d know the car better as the Holden Barina. The city car is back in fourth-generation form, and this time with its original make/model names as part of Opel’s ambitions to follow fellow German brand Volkswagen’s import success in Australia. Its rivals, of course, will include today’s Holden Barina that is now a rebadged Chevrolet Aveo/Sonic. Opel wants its models – which from launch also include the well-known Opel Astra and the lesser-known Opel Insignia medium car – to be seen as aspirational mainstream models. Yes, just like Volkswagen. That has clearly been applied to the pricing, because in a budget-sensitive segment the Opel Corsa starts higher than most competitors whether in three-door or five-door body style. A three-tier range starts with the Opel Corsa three-door hatch at $16,490, with a fancier-looking version called Colour Edition available from $18,490 and the five-door hatch, dubbed Enjoy, priced from $18,990. If Holden behind the scenes wasn’t too thrilled at the prospect of fellow GM brand Opel launching locally, it’s probably not too upset to see that latter price tag starting a significant $3000 higher than the equivalent Holden Barina. Equally, five-door versions of the Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta, Mazda2, Hyundai i20, Kia Rio and Toyota Yaris – by between $2000 and $3000."

Holden also uses the VXR badge for some of its high-performance cars such as the Astra VXR and Insignia VXR. European-sourced VXR models are produced and developed by Opel Performance Center, a division of Opel. The VXR8 is produced and developed by Holden of Australia's HSV division. The VXR brand is closely linked to VX Racing, Vauxhalls British Touring Car Championship team, and the VXR versions of the cars are race track-styled models, with high performance capabilities. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Current VXR models3 Former VXR models4 See also5 References6 External links History [ edit]The VX Racing name was first used in 2003 instead of Vauxhall Motorsport, taking part in the BTCC with cars prepared by Triple 8 Race Engineering. The VXR badge was first launched in the summer of 2004 at the British Motor Show with enhanced consumer versions of the Monaro and VX220. [ 1] In 2005 the VXR range included the Astra VXR and subsequently Zafira, Vectra, Corsa, Insignia and Meriva versions. It was launched following discussions with the Directors (K Grice, P Marshall and N Reed) and several Regional Organisers of the Vauxhall Sports Car Club - at the time the official club for owners and enthusiasts of Vauxhall performance models [2] to replace the GSi branding (which itself replaced the GTE label) which was previously used on top-end high-performance models. Shortly after the introduction of the VXR brand, a dedicated website and discussion forum VXRonline was set up by the Directors of the Vauxhall Sports Car Club to provide technical assistance, advice, meetings and events for all owners and enthusiasts of the VXR models."

OK it won't use a full tank however I am guessing that you might drive the car in Cardiff a little and might need to prepare in case of the bad weather we a due to get (apparently). Assume a 35mpg for a journey on motorways (less if you go over 70), that would mean 3 gallons each way - and because of the strange way europe works, we think in mpg but buy petrol in litres that is about 14 litres each way - 28 litres for the round trip. Plus a few to get around Cardiff so 30 litres for the trip. So why fill it up - well when you get home you will still have petrol left to drive around and don't need to worry about more petrol for a while."

"text": "\"Vauxhall Corsa : The Engine Management Light Mystery For the condenced version, scroll down to the bottom :-p Going back about three and a half years ago, I bought a 1.2 petrol Vauxhall Corsa SXI+, second hand, 56 plate with 9k miles on the clock. It has done me very well over the past few years, I've done about 50k miles in it since I had it, so now the clock is up to 60k miles. The only thing I've ever had to do is get a new engine - I know this is a big deal but it was my own fault, as I forgot to put oil in the thing Anyway, going back a fortnight or so ago, I had a flat and since it was dark, decided to leave the car where it was and get a taxi home. I came back the following day, changed the tyre and as I went to leave, I realised the battery was dead, due to leaving my hazards on. I had someone come out and jump start me, and the engine light came on. I was told the battery should recharge by the time I got home. I drove home barely, as the car seemed to be in limp mode. The following day, the car started fine and seemed to have no problem but the engine light was still on, though I had no problems driving it this time. I topped the oil up (possibly over filling it slightly) and all was well. On my way to work, as soon as the car hit 4k revs in 5th, so roughly 70mph, the car wouldn't stall but the engine light would flash and the engine would seem to pull back, so the car would slow down and it would be nigh on impossible for me to accelerate."

"text": "Justin Lloyd-Miller More Articles June 29, 2014A big engine in the front, sending its power to the wheels at the back: This is the time-honored formula for most performance cars, as automakers firmly believe that this is the setup most conducive to great handling, perhaps with the exception of all-wheel drive. Therefore, cars that drive their power to the front wheels are typically more pedestrian in nature, as it’s the cheapest method for getting power to the ground. However, automakers haven’t been idling around, instead using the layout to the best of their advantage — now, some of the greatest drivers’ cars on the road are front-wheel drive. Here are ten of the fastest production forward-wheel drivers available around the world today; we left out concept cars, modified cars, or cars that have been discontinued. This is also not intended to be a comprehensive list, so fill in what we left out in the comments below.10. Hyundai Veloster Turbo Hyundai’s frisky, turbocharged Veloster is quirky, full of character, and quick thanks to its 1.6 liter turbo-four, which lays out 201 horsepower to the front wheels. Zero to 60 happens in under 7 seconds (6.9 by Motor Trend’s count), while a quarter-mile takes a respectable 15.3 seconds, at 93.4 miles per hour. For hot hatch faithfuls who are looking for something a bit more unique, the Veloster is certainly worth a look — it even manages nearly 40 miles per gallon in the highway.9. Vauxhaull Corsa VXR Clubsport Barely edging out the Veloster by a single horsepower, the Vauxhall ( NYSE: GM) Corsa VXR Clubsport — a model that we don’t get here in the States, unfortunately — is a potent, rally-inspired street car at the top of the Corsa range. It too uses a turbocharged 1.6 liter inline-four, good for 202 horsepower which can propel the little hatch to 60 in 6.5 seconds, shaving off 0.7 seconds from the standard Corsa thanks to a mechanical, multi-plate limited-slip differential that helps minimize wheel spin when starting out."

"text": "View Threaded Fri 22 Jan 2010 11:02Average Miles - john_csfweb I have recently bought a petrol 1L 2001 vauxhall corsa C with 64,000 miles for £1200. I was just wandering if anyone knew roughly how many miles i will get out of it and what the mpg is like, becuase i will be doing around 20,000 miles a year for commuting to work and such. any feedback would be great cheers Reply | Report as offensive | Link Fri 22 Jan 2010 12:19Average Miles - Richard WHow long's a piece of string, how has it been treated to date, and how is it going to get treated in the future? 20k / year in a 1l Corsa is, er, brave! Provided it has been reasonably looked after to date, and continues to be so in the future, I'd have thought you'd easily get 3 years without too much difficulty - £400 / year depreciation for 20k miles / year is cheap motoring - as long as nothing major goes wrong! Reply | Report as offensive | Link Fri 22 Jan 2010 12:29Average Miles - bell boy40 mpg should be easy if engine is in good fettle have the oil and filter changed straight away irrespective of what you were told by the seller keep your oil level topped up at least weekly as these engines dont hold much to begin with keep your eye open for the oil pressure switch at the left front leaking as they often do basically keep the thing maintained and it will serve you well Reply | Report as offensive | Link Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission. Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it. Real MPGOur Fuel Cost Calculator shows you which will be the best choice for you. Compare the running costs of petrol, diesel and electric cars to make the right choice for you.

He is selected as one of the racers to take part in the World Grand Prix, alongside his main rival Lightning Mc Queen. Though many thought Francesco was an antagonist at first, he is actually just rude to Lightning Mc Queen at certain points. By the end of the movie, he and Mc Queen become friends. Contents [ show]Creation and development While developing a Formula One character for the film, the developing team realized that a such open-wheeled car could make much more gesture than normal cars with fenders. Director John Lasseter said: \"\"We don't typically lift the tires off, partly because of the fender. But I thought, \"\"Wow. To have an open wheel car, like Francesco, it gives us a lot more gestures.\"\""

The engine management light came on a couple of weeks ago, I took it to the garage for diagnostics and they said that it was an \"\"unknown error\"\" and they had switched the light back off as they couldn't see what was wrong with it. I was a bit confused but accepted this, and they didn't charge me anything so that was a bonus. However, the light came on again on friday. It doesn't seem to be affecting the handing of the car although it does seem a bit more sluggish than usual (however it is only a 1.0L so may be slow ALL the time, but I can see a difference at the moment). Does anyone have any suggestions what it could be? A few people have suggested to me that it means the Corsa is on it's last legs which would be a shame!

"text": "What Does Cortisol Do? Many people wonder what cortisol does since cortisol and stress are so closely related. A simple answer is that the purpose of cortisol is as a stress hormone in the body and its primary purpose is to breakdown body tissues to be used as an energy source. Whenever the body is put under stress, no matter whether it is psychological stress or physical stress, the body responds by producing cortisol. Cortisol also gets produced in response to a low blood sugar level. Cortisol's primary functions are to: Increase the blood sugar level Suppress the immune system Promote fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism Cortisol is released from the cortex (outer portion) of the adrenal glands and is sent into the bloodstream. It targets the liver, muscles, skin, adipose tissue and lymphatic system. What does cortisol do in the liver? In the liver it promotes 'gluconeogenesis', which is the creation of glucose from amino acids (protein) and glycerol (the backbone of triglycerides). What does cortisol do in the muscles?"

The adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys, make hormones that are essential for body functions. The outer layer (cortex) of the adrenal glands makes three types of steroid hormones. In adrenal insufficiency (AI), the cortex does not make enough steroid hormones. There are two kinds of AI: Primary AI, also called Addison's disease. In this rare condition, the adrenal glands do not work properly and cannot make enough cortisol (a “stress” hormone). Usually, production of aldosterone and androgens (the other hormones made by the adrenal glands) is also low. Secondary AI. This far more common type of AI results when the pituitary gland, a small gland near the brain, does not signal the adrenal glands to make cortisol. The adrenal glands do not get “adrenal fatigue” or lose function because of mental or physical stress."

"text": "What is stress? Biology of stress When a stressor is perceived and interpreted, the stress response system starts up a cascade of biological events. As a result, we release the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Where does cortisol come from and where does it go? In scientific lingo, the stress response system is called the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis). After perceiving a stressor, a small brain area called the hypothalamus sends a chemical message to the pituitary gland. From here a new chemical message is sent out of the brain through our blood, to the producers of stress hormones called the adrenal glands that sit on top of the kidneys. This message says “secrete cortisol”. TIPSThink of it this way, if your boss gives you negative feedback about something you have done, then you will surely stop doing it. The same applies here; negative feedback from cortisol and its receptors stops the stress response system dead in its tracks."

How are anti-estrogens like Cytadren, Clomid, and Nolvadex different from each other? Is Proviron an anabolic steroid, or not? Anti-estrogens are drugs which act to reduce estrogenic activity in the body. This can be done either by reducing the amount of estrogen, or by reducing the activity of whatever estrogen is present. Competitive aromatase inhibitors, such as Cytadren, Arimidex, and probably Proviron, bind to the same binding site on the aromatase enzyme that testosterone does. By doing this, they allow less testosterone to bind to aromatase. So, less testosterone is converted to estradiol (estrogen). Here's an important thing: the effectiveness of competitive inhibitors decreases as the amount of the normal substrate increases. Suppose that you had equal amounts of inhibitor and normal substrate in the blood, and they bound to the enzyme equally well."

Sometimes called hypercortisolism, Cushing's syndrome is relatively rare and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. People who are obese and have type 2 diabetes, along with poorly controlled blood glucose-also called blood sugar-and high blood pressure, have an increased risk of developing the disorder. What are the signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome? Signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome vary, but most people with the disorder have upper body obesity, a rounded face, increased fat around the neck, and relatively slender arms and legs. Children tend to be obese with slowed growth rates. Other signs appear in the skin, which becomes fragile and thin, bruises easily, and heals poorly. Purple or pink stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and breasts. The bones are weakened, and routine activities such as bending, lifting, or rising from a chair may lead to backaches and rib or spinal column fractures."

Testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) provide strength and muscle growth stimulus; cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine and glucagon control access to fat and glucose fuels by manipulating the release of stored fuel when needed in addition to other important functions; and insulin provides the storage impetus for the fuels derived from the food we eat.6 Natural Bodybuilding Hormones Getting these hormones to work so that you can maximize muscle and strength is one of the secrets of natural weight training.1. Testosterone Testosterone is, for the most part, a male hormone produced by the testicles, although a smaller amount is produced by the adrenal glands (which sit on top of the kidneys). This hormone is responsible for the development of male physical characteristics, muscle mass, strength, fat distribution, and sexual drive. Smaller amounts of testosterone are also produced by women in the ovaries and the adrenal glands. To be more definitive, testosterone is an androgenic, anabolic, steroid hormone. Androgenic means pertaining to male characteristics and anabolic means building up or synthesizing body tissue. Testosterone is the number one hormone for bodybuilding and weight training, especially for the development of strength and muscle (although this is not always the primary goal of weight training ). The use of supplementary anabolic steroids to build muscle bulk and strength has been popular in bodybuilding and other sports requiring bulk and strength for many decades. They do work spectacularly well."

Unless you have either of those conditions, you will be told that you do not have an adrenal problem and your adrenal status will be ignored. At the end, I have copied the information taken from the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) under the heading Do Not Take This Medicine And Tell Your Doctor If”Most of us already know what causes stress but what we dont know is why some people can handle it and others cant. Nor, until now, could we determine scientifically if stress really is affecting our health. The ‘new’ salivary adrenal stress index (ASI) test enables people to do just that. Previously, adrenal hormones such as cortisol and DHEA, so important for our energy levels, had always been measured by a blood test taken once and once only at a random time of day, taking no account of the fact that the level of cortisol varies very considerably throughout the day. This is still the way it is done by the NHS and it accounts for the fact that sufferers of hypothyroid symptoms get little or no help from NHS endocrinologists even if they get to see one in the first place, which is often unlikely. This 24 hour salivary adrenal test involves taking saliva samples four times daily, at 8.00a.m. at 12 noon, at 4.00p.m. and again at midnight, or just before you go to bed."

I want to now give you some perspective as to WHY this matters We have established that as one gets fat, Leptin levels rise. Once they get high enough (around a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 20-24), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) rises in several tissues. This also causes a rise of NF kappa beta and IL-6 in the brain. TNF quickly destroys normal hepatic homeostasis, which sets the stage for fatty liver disease and type two diabetes over time."

Cortisol, known as the regulator of immune response, is a hormone controlled by the adrenal cortex. This powerful hormone is also known as an adrenalcorticol hormone, a glucocorticoid and hydrocortisone or simply cortisone. Cortisol has a catabolic (muscle breakdown) effect on tissue and is associated with a decrease in anabolic (muscle growth) hormones like IGF-1 and GH. Thus reducing levels of cortisol is ideal for an athlete to achieve tissue growth and positive adaptations to exercise training. Playing many different roles in your body, cortisol can have a negative impact on sleep, mood, sex drive, bone health, ligament health, cardiovascular health and athletic performance, potentially causing fatigue and inflammation. Its primary functions are to increase protein breakdown, inhibit glucose uptake and increase lipolysis (the breakdown of fats). What does an increased cortisol level mean to me? While cortisol in normal amounts is necessary for proper metabolic function, a chronic elevated cortisol level has adverse effects on your health, mood, body composition and performance."

Does stress increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, or worsen dementia? If so, what kind of stress, how long, how severe? While clear answers are not in, emerging data do link stress and AD more tightly together. For example, epidemiological studies finger stress as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Stress hormones can impair memory and damage the hippocampus over time, and people with AD tend toward higher levels of circulating cortisol, the main human stress hormone. Recent animal data show that psychological distress can worsen the pathology of AD.“Overall, the evidence is accumulating that chronic adverse stress is bad for the brain during aging,” said Mark Mattson at the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, Maryland. However, it is uncertain if stress somehow causes decline, and if it does, what the mechanisms might be. “ I think the best evidence is for stress and cortisol as exacerbative, rather than causative factors, and it is unclear what the magnitude of the effect is."

Adrenal insufficiency is an endocrine, or hormonal, disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of certain hormones. The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys. Adrenal insufficiency can be primary or secondary. Addison’s disease, the common term for primary adrenal insufficiency, occurs when the adrenal glands are damaged and cannot produce enough of the adrenal hormone cortisol. The adrenal hormone aldosterone may also be lacking. Addison’s disease affects 110 to 144 of every 1 million people in developed countries. 1Secondary adrenal insufficiency occurs when the pituitary gland—a pea-sized gland at the base of the brain—fails to produce enough adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), a hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands to produce the hormone cortisol. If ACTH output is too low, cortisol production drops. Eventually, the adrenal glands can shrink due to lack of ACTH stimulation."

"text": "April 21, 2016The Health Consequences of High Adrenaline and High Cortisol Most people with thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions deal with chronic stress. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that most people in general deal with chronic stress. And while I have spoken about cortisol in past articles and blog posts, I haven’t talked as much about adrenaline. And so what I plan on doing in this post is to discuss some of the factors which can cause high cortisol and adrenaline, some of the symptoms associated with elevated levels, and the consequences of having high levels of cortisol and adrenaline over a prolonged period of time. And of course I’ll discuss what you can do to naturally lower cortisol and adrenaline. Most people reading this are aware that adrenaline is involved in the “fight or flight” reaction. When there is a stressful situation, there will be a rapid increase of adrenaline. On the other hand, cortisol will also increase, but it’s a slower process. During a chronic stress situation you can have chronically raised adrenaline and cortisol levels. Adrenaline is known as epinephrine."

Even if cortisol isn't your friend, it definitely isn't the enemy you've been led to fear!Sculpting a lean, muscular body is about more than just eating right and training hard. It requires advanced manipulation of anabolic and catabolic hormones throughout the day, ruthlessly battling and suppressing any substance that doesn't promote muscle-building —and especially when that hormone's name is cortisol. Doesn't it? Maybe not, or at least not to the degree some \"\"experts\"\" may lead you to believe. Due to the catabolic nature of cortisol, and the visceral desire of many bodybuilders to maintain a constant muscle-building state— all anabolic, all the time —much time has been spent trying to squash cortisol release. Workouts have been shortened and training intensities have been decreased in hope of keeping cortisol in check. However, this view of cortisol and its short-term impacts on physique development is short-sighted—it doesn't take into consideration the difference between acute and chronic elevations in cortisol."

Cortisol side effects, safety, risks and danger A high cortisol level for prolonged periods can increase the risk of infection, high blood pressure, peptic ulcers, diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), and depression. Recent findings show that treatment in the form of prednisone or another form of corticosteroid increases the risk for atrial fibrillation. This treatment influences this arrhythmia no matter what the underlying reason of the cortisol treatment. Definition: Cortisol is a natural steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland cortex. It has a strong diurnal variation, generally high early in the morning and falling during the day. Cortisol level typically increases over the first few minutes of the day, reaching a peak 20-30 minutes after waking. Also called the stress hormone, it is available synthetically under various names including dexamethasone, prednisone, triamcinolone, fluocinolone, and others. Cortisol, the active form of cortisone, is a hormone involved in a variety of different bodily functions, from the immune system to the regulation of blood sugar and liver function. Those with a medical condition known as Addison's disease have very low levels. Some companies sell \"\"cortisol blocking\"\" herbal products and claim these users will benefit with weight loss."

"text": "Cortisone cream is a topical corticosteroid ointment that reduces inflammation to areas where applied. It is often used to topically treat arthritis pain from inflammation of the joints, as well as inflammation of the skin caused by various skin disorders and conditions. Available in over-the-counter strength, it is usually sold as hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone is a water-soluble, synthetic steroid sold under various names as a cream to relieve itching and minor skin irritation. It is also a primary ingredient in over-the-counter hemorrhoid medication. In prescription strength, cortisone cream may be prescribed to treat skin conditions that are unresponsive to over-the-counter products. Cortisone cream may be prescribed for other reasons not related to skin conditions, as determined by a doctor. A person should only treat a condition, such as rash, itching, or other skin irritation, with over-the-counter ointment under the advice of a medical professional or pharmacist unless he or she has successfully treated similar conditions with hydrocortisone before. If the condition does not improve within seven days, the patient should consult with a healthcare professional. Common uses for this cream include the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, diaper rash, insect bites, and itching and rash from poison ivy, oak, or sumac."

It is used to treat, but not cure, severe allergic reactions, blood diseases, arthritis, respiratory disease and eye diseases, certain cancers and skin conditions, according to Rxlist.com. Mechanism of Action Methylprednisolone, the active ingredient in Solu-Medrol, is a corticosteroid that is similar in nature to natural hormones produced by the adrenal glands in the body. Solu-Medrol’s primary action is to reduce swelling and the body’s natural immune system response. It works by binding DNA in the cells of the body and regulating the expression of certain genes.

Two important factors that must be considered in medications are the level of the patient's pain and the potential side effects of the medication. Even nonprescription drugs should be checked for side effects. Acetaminophen For mild pain and discomfort without inflammation, over-the-counter acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) may be sufficient treatment. Acetaminophen does not reduce inflammation, but is an effective pain reliever and is less likely to cause stomach problems than NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or aspirin), especially among elderly patients or people prone to stomach problems. See Acetaminophen for Back Pain For these reasons, acetaminophen is generally the preferred initial drug given to patients with osteoarthritis. People with liver disease, people who drink alcohol heavily, and those taking blood- thinning medicines or NSAIDs, and people taking acetaminophen for more than 10 days in a row should use acetaminophen with caution and only under a doctor's care.

"text": "The different methods of using cortisone for inflammation are topical, oral, and injection. Since each of these methods can have serious side effects, it is important to discuss any use of cortisone for inflammation with a qualified medical professional. Mild cortisone creams are often available over the counter for the treatment of localized inflammation and skin disorders, but even the extended use of these products should typically be monitored. Cortisone pills are meant to be taken orally, and they are often helpful for treating conditions such as allergies and arthritis. Injections of cortisone are typically a stronger measure, and they can be powerful tools for the management of tendinitis, bursitis, and a number of other conditions. Cortisone, which is also known as cortisol, is a compound that is produced naturally within the human body. In pharmacology, it is most commonly used in the reduction of inflammation, which is a natural biological response to various types of harmful stimulus. Though cortisone is not actually a pain reliever, it can help reduce pain caused by inflammation. One of the most common reasons for using cortisone for inflammation is to reduce or manage pain levels. Some forms of cortisone, such as mild cortisone creams, are available over the counter."

When you thought you’ve won the fight against acne as you see those pesky zits drying up and dwindling in numbers before your eyes, you’ll soon notice some dark acne marks and scars are still visible long after the break out disappears. And sometimes, these blemishes are the worse! We know, it is one of the proofs life is unfair. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Julia Tzu explains that the culprit for acne scarring is basically the recurrent inflammation from deeper cystic lesions that damages the collagen in your skin. “ Normal healthy tissue is then replaced by thinned-out scar tissue, which can manifest itself as depressions along the contour of the skin,” she noted. There isn’t really a magic bullet for fading acne marks that gets rid of them overnight, but Dr. Sejal Shah and Dr. Whitney Bowe, both renowned dermatologists in New York City, advised that marks and bumps can be prevented and treated. Before heading straight to ways on how you can prevent or treat acne scars, first, let’s end the confusion between acne marks and acne scars, is there a notable difference you should know about?

The discomfort of psoriasis can be relieved or lessened -- and many treatment options include common kitchen items found in your home. Just a little measuring, mixing and applying, and you're on your way to feeling better. Try the following home remedies when psoriasis causes problems. Home Remedies from the Cupboard Try a vinegar dip. Like aloe, apple cider vinegar has a long history of being used to soothe minor burns and other skin inflammations, and it's also a disinfectant. According to the Psoriasis Foundation, some folks with psoriasis have reported success in using it to treat their condition. As a liquid, it makes a great soak for affected fingernails and toenails -- just pour some in a bowl or cup and dip your nails in for a few minutes -- and apparently has even been effective when applied to plaques using cotton balls. It might just be worth a try. To prepare an apple cider vinegar compress, add 1 cup apple cider vinegar to 1 gallon water."

I have oily skin in my face and have gotten a few pimple, but the skin in my face feels tight. Any of you ladies knows if stress can cause dry, itchy skin?

"text": "What are Corticosteroids? Reviewed By: Pramod Kerkar, MD, FFARCSICorticosteroid is a hormone produced by adrenal cortex. Adrenal cortex secrets two kinds of corticosteroids called glucocorticoids (corticosterone, cortisone) and mineralocorticoids (aldosterone). Concentration of corticosteroid hormones is higher in serum following response to stress and inflammation. Glucocorticoid hormone regulate carbohydrate and protein metabolism. Mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) maintain level of sodium by regulating absorption of sodium in kidneys. Corticosteroid is been used in as therapeutic medications since 1944.1950 - Tadeusz Reichstein, Edward Kendall and Philip Hench were awarded Noble prize of Physiology and Medicine for their work on adrenal cortex and hormones secreted by adrenal cortex. Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory and distinctly different from the anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroid acts like testosterone and increases intracellular synthesis of protein in muscle cells. Corticosteroids are not anabolic steroid neither has side effects same as anabolic steroids."

"text": "The different methods of using cortisone for inflammation are topical, oral, and injection. Since each of these methods can have serious side effects, it is important to discuss any use of cortisone for inflammation with a qualified medical professional. Mild cortisone creams are often available over the counter for the treatment of localized inflammation and skin disorders, but even the extended use of these products should typically be monitored. Cortisone pills are meant to be taken orally, and they are often helpful for treating conditions such as allergies and arthritis. Injections of cortisone are typically a stronger measure, and they can be powerful tools for the management of tendinitis, bursitis, and a number of other conditions. Cortisone, which is also known as cortisol, is a compound that is produced naturally within the human body. In pharmacology, it is most commonly used in the reduction of inflammation, which is a natural biological response to various types of harmful stimulus. Though cortisone is not actually a pain reliever, it can help reduce pain caused by inflammation. One of the most common reasons for using cortisone for inflammation is to reduce or manage pain levels. Some forms of cortisone, such as mild cortisone creams, are available over the counter."

Print Email Favorites More By Jeanne Faulkner Reviewed by Quality Health's Medical Advisory Board Millions of Americans experience what's commonly called \"\"tendonitis\"\" due to overuse, injuries, aging, or just plain wear and tear. Often, their trip to the doctor results in a quick fix-a shot of corticosteroids (or \"\"cortisone\"\") to reduce inflammation and pain. Most patients experience almost immediate pain relief from cortisone shots. Unfortunately, it doesn't really solve the problem that caused the pain, and eventually the pain may come back. Corticosteroids also have side effects, so are these shots really a good idea? Tendons are strong cord-like, fibrous tissues that attach muscles to bones. The suffix \"\"itis\"\" means inflammation, so tendonitis means \"\"inflammation of the tendon.\"\" That may be a misnomer, however, as scientists now say common conditions like tennis elbow, rotator cuff, and Achilles tendon pain are not really caused by inflammation, but by fraying or degeneration of the tendon."

Bursitis of the shoulder (impingement syndrome) occurs when there is swelling and redness between the top of the arm bone and the tip of the shoulder. Between these bones lie the tendons of the rotator cuff and a fluid-filled sac called the bursa, which protects the tendons. Normally, the tendons slide effortlessly within this space. In some people, this space becomes too narrow for normal motion. This causes irritation to the tendons and bursa, which become inflamed. Inflammation causes the tendons and bursa to swell, making the space for movement still smaller. Eventually, this space becomes too narrow for the tendons and the bursa. Every time they move, they are pinched between the bones."

It is often used to topically treat arthritis pain from inflammation of the joints, as well as inflammation of the skin caused by various skin disorders and conditions. Available in over-the-counter strength, it is usually sold as hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone is a water-soluble, synthetic steroid sold under various names as a cream to relieve itching and minor skin irritation. It is also a primary ingredient in over-the-counter hemorrhoid medication. In prescription strength, cortisone cream may be prescribed to treat skin conditions that are unresponsive to over-the-counter products. Cortisone cream may be prescribed for other reasons not related to skin conditions, as determined by a doctor. A person should only treat a condition, such as rash, itching, or other skin irritation, with over-the-counter ointment under the advice of a medical professional or pharmacist unless he or she has successfully treated similar conditions with hydrocortisone before. If the condition does not improve within seven days, the patient should consult with a healthcare professional. Common uses for this cream include the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, dandruff, diaper rash, insect bites, and itching and rash from poison ivy, oak, or sumac."

There are many remedies for this condition, including rest, anti-inflammatory medications and using knee braces. For individuals whose knee pain progresses or does not respond to other types of treatment, injections may be an option to help relieve pain and discomfort. Cortisone Cortisone, or corticosteroid shots, are administered into the knee joint to reduce inflammation, says Knee Pain Info, an information website posted by doctors an physical therapists. These injections are typically given to individuals with severe knee pain that is accompanied by significant swelling of the knee. Relief from the injection can last for days to months, with reduced effectiveness with each successive shot. The risks of cortisone shots that Knee Pain Info lists include increased articular cartilage breakdown and a small possibility of infection or allergic reaction to the shot. Some individuals experience a flare-up of swelling in the first few days after an injection; this can be controlled by anti-inflammatory medication. Synvisc Injections Synvisc, the brand name for the drug Hylan G-F 20, is a derivative of hyaluronan, a viscous fluid, says Rx List.com. The fluid is similar to synovial fluid, which is naturally found in the knee joint and acts as a shock absorber."

Usually, this flare reaction is experienced shortly after the injection, typically within 24 to 48 hours and causes pain and/or inflammation around the injection site. Often, cortisone shots can provide rapid and lasting relief from symptoms of an inflammatory condition, but not everyone has a positive reaction to a cortisone shot. Uses of Cortisone Injections Cortisone injections are a commonly used treatment by orthopedic surgeons and other physicians. Cortisone is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that can be used for a broad array of orthopedic ailments, typically in the joints, such as tendonitis, bursitis, and arthritis.

Short-term complications are uncommon but include shrinkage (atrophy) and lightening of the color (depigmentation) of the skin at the injection site, introduction of bacterial infection into the body, local bleeding from broken blood vessels in the skin or muscle, soreness at the injection site, and aggravation of inflammation in the area injected because of reactions to the corticosteroid medication (postinjection flare). Increased pain after the injection is typically due to a postinjection flare as a true allergic reaction to cortisone is very rare. Tendons can be weakened by corticosteroid injections in or near tendons. Tendon ruptures as a result have been reported. Facial flushing may occur in up to 40% of cases but lasts only briefly. Sweating and insomnia are uncommon. In people who have diabetes, cortisone injections can elevate the blood sugar. In patients with underlying infections, cortisone injections can suppress somewhat the body's ability to fight the infection and possibly worsen the infection or may mask the infection by suppressing the symptoms and signs of inflammation.

Cortisone is the name used to describe a group of drugs commonly known as corticosteroids. The types of cortisone used at Melbourne Radiology Clinic include Celestone (Betamethasone), Kenacort (Triamcinolone) and Depot-Medrol (Methylprednisolone). Cortisone is used to treat pain in various parts of the body where inflammation is felt to be the cause of this pain. The reason why cortisone is effective in treating such pain is because it is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Cortisone is NOT an illegal steroid medication, such as those steroids used by some disqualified body builders and athletes. Why inject cortisone? In regard to musculoskeletal problems, cortisone injections are performed in order to reduce or even eliminate pain associated with a variety of disorders, such as: Bursitis (most commonly subacromial and trochanteric bursitis)Arthritis (any joint may be injected, including joints of the spine)Nerve pain (most commonly for sciatica and carpal tunnel syndrome)Tendinitis and Tenosynovitis (such as plantar fasciitis, trigger finger, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, Tennis and Golfer's elbow)Other miscellaneous conditions where inflammation is a contributor to the pain, for example frozen shoulder/adhesive capsulitis, Morton's neuroma, ganglion cyst injections and Dupuytren's contracture.

"text": "Corynebacterium is a genus of bacteria that is very common in nature and can be found in soil, water, plants, animals, and humans. In humans, these bacteria are most commonly found in the skin and mucous membranes. Most corynebacteria do not cause disease and are part of the normal, bacterial flora of the human body, but the species corynebacterium diphtheriae can cause diphtheria, an illness that usually affects the upper respiratory tract and can be fatal. The corynebacterium is a single-celled microorganism that is non-motile, meaning it does not move, and aerobic, meaning it can survive in oxygen. Corynebacteria are also Gram-positive bacteria, meaning that because of the composition of their cell walls, they turn dark blue or violet by a substance called Gram stain used to classify microorganisms. This genus of bacteria has been extensively studied since the 19th century, mainly because of its link to diphtheria. Diphtheria is a contagious disease caused by a corynebacterium infection, specifically an infection by the species corynebacterium diphtheriae. It usually affects the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, including the throat and nose, but can also affect the ears, eyes, and genitals. Diphtheria is fatal in approximately 5-10% of cases, though the number is closer to 20% for children under the age of 5. A reliable and safe vaccine was developed against the disease in 1924, but outbreaks are still reported every year."

The field has recently taken an important step forward with the discovery that eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins have homologues in bacteria that affect cell shape. Here, we discuss how a bacterium gains and maintains its shape, the challenges still confronting us and emerging strategies for answering difficult questions in this rapidly evolving field. Key points Our understanding of bacterial cell shape has taken steps forward with the recent discovery of cytoskeletal elements such as cell-shape determinants, but there is still much to learn about how shape is generated and maintained. The bacterial cell wall, with its peptidoglycan layer, has a primary role in maintaining cell shape. The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) carry out the reactions for synthesis and remodelling of peptidoglycan. Different PBPs have specific roles in cell division and elongation, and therefore in cell-shape determination. Growth of the cell wall is not uniform, but is localized to specific regions. These regions of localized peptidoglycan synthesis vary among bacteria and often change during the cell cycle, reflecting different modes of cell growth (longitudinal, septal or polar)."

It is estimated that 150 million UTIs occur yearly world-wide, accounting for $6 billion in health care expenditures. In premenopausal women in the U. S., an annual estimated incidence of UTI is 0.5 – 0.7/person/year. In Medicare beneficiaries 65 years or older, UTIs account for 1.8 million office visits per year. The majority of community- acquired UTIs manifest as uncomplicated bacterial cystitis, and occur mainly in females. In the health-care setting, approximately 40% of all nosocomial infections are UTIs, and most are associated with the use of urinary catheters. There are more than 1 million catheter-associated UTIs/year in the U. S., and up to 40% of hospital gram negative bacteremias/year originate as UTIs."

It is the agent of listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria. Listeriosis has been recognized as an important public health problem in the United States. The disease affects primarily pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is a serious disease for humans; the overt form of the disease has a mortality greater than 25 percent. The two main clinical manifestations are sepsis and meningitis. Meningitis is often complicated by encephalitis, a pathology that is unusual for bacterial infections. Microscopically, Listeria species appear as small, Gram-positive rods, which are sometimes arranged in short chains. In direct smears they may be coccoid, so they can be mistaken for streptococci. Longer cells may resemble corynebacteria."

The host obtains from the normal flora certain nutritional benefits, stimulation of the immune system, and colonization strategies that exclude potential pathogens at the site. The normal flora are obviously adapted to their host (tissues), most probably by biochemical interactions between bacterial surface components (ligands or adhesins) and host cell molecular receptors.

Now, of course, we know that some prostatitis has nothing, or little, to do with bacteria. Exactly how important bacterial infection is in causing prostatitis is a subject of great debate on every level, from patient discussion to scientific research.

One of its best known relatives is Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the causative agent of diphtheria. C. amycolatum is a common component of the natural flora found on human skin and mucous membranes, and as such, is often disregarded by physicians as a contaminant when found in blood cultures. [ 2] However, C. amycolatum is actually an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing serious human disease such as endocarditis and sepsis. Contents [ hide ]1 Identification2 Disease3 Treatment4 Antibiotic resistance5 References6 External links Identification [ edit]First described in 1988, C. amycolatum is one of the diphtheroids most often isolated from clinical samples. However, it is often difficult to differentiate from other fermentative corynebacteria such as C. minutissimum and C. xerosis, both of which are known human pathogens. One method of differentiation, however, is by observing the cell wall. Unlike other members of this genus, C. amycolatum lacks mycolic acid, long fatty acids usually found in the cell wall. C. amycolatum also differs in its colony morphology; the species characteristically produces flat, whitish-gray, matte or waxy colonies on Schaedler blood agar. Its antibiotic sensitivity may also aid in its identification; the organism is generally resistant to multiple antibiotics."

"text": "History C diphtheriae Respiratory: Following an incubation period of 2-4 days, patients typically report upper respiratory tract symptoms (eg, nasal discharge, sore throat). The posterior pharynx and tonsillar pillars are most often involved. Onset is often sudden, with low-grade fevers, malaise, and membrane development on one or both tonsils, with extension to other parts of the respiratory system. Cardiac: The toxic effect in the myocardium characteristically occurs within 1-2 weeks following onset of infection, often when the upper respiratory tract symptoms are improving. Manifestations are due to arrhythmias and congestive heart failure (CHF). Neurologic: Neurological symptoms can occur immediately or after several weeks. Bulbar symptoms generally occur within the first 2 weeks after disease onset and can range from mild symptoms (eg, difficulty swallowing) to bilateral symmetric paresis of the palatal and ocular muscles. The bulbar symptoms may remit or progress to paralysis of the proximal and then distal skeletal muscles over the next 30-90 days. Although recovery can be very slow, patients generally regain complete neurologic function. Secondary complications include aspiration from bulbar paralysis and bronchopneumonia from respiratory muscle dysfunction."

Advances in microbiology and immunology are revising our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of microbial virulence and the specific events involved in the host–microbe interaction. Current data contradict some historical classifications of cutaneous microbiota and suggest that these organisms may protect the host, defining them not as simple symbiotic microbes but rather as mutualistic. This review will summarize current information on bacterial skin flora including Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Propioni-bacterium, Streptococcus and Pseudomonas. Specifically, the review will discuss our current understanding of the cutaneous microbiota as well as shifting paradigms in the interpretation of the roles microbes play in skin health and disease."

Skin bacteria play an important role in the production of human body odour and when grown in vitro, skin bacteria produce volatiles that are attractive to A. gambiae. The role of single skin bacterial species in the production of volatiles that mediate the host-seeking behaviour of mosquitoes has remained largely unknown and is the subject of the present study. Headspace samples were taken to identify volatiles that mediate this behaviour. These volatiles could be used as mosquito attractants or repellents. Five commonly occurring species of skin bacteria were tested in an olfactometer for the production of volatiles that attract A. gambiae. Odour blends produced by some bacterial species were more attractive than blends produced by other species. In contrast to odours from the other bacterial species tested, odours produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa were not attractive to A. gambiae. Headspace analysis of bacterial volatiles in combination with behavioural assays led to the identification of six compounds that elicited a behavioural effect in A. gambiae."

Specialty Infectious disease [ edit on Wikidata]Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease -causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce. [ 1] [2] Infectious disease, also known as transmissible disease or communicable disease, is illness resulting from an infection. Infections are caused by infectious agents including viruses, viroids, prions, bacteria, nematodes such as parasitic roundworms and pinworms, arthropods such as ticks, mites, fleas, and lice, fungi such as ringworm, and other macroparasites such as tapeworms and other helminths. Hosts can fight infections using their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response.

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": "\"Trigonometric Ratios The relationships between the angles and the sides of a right triangle are expressed in terms of six trigonometric ratios. The sine (sin) of an angle is the side opposite the angle divided by the hypotenuse (sin = opp/hyp). The cosine (cos) of an angle is the adjacent leg divided by the hypotenuse (cos = adj/hyp). The tangent (tan) of an angle is the opposite leg divided by the adjacent leg (tan = opp/adj). The reciprocals of these functions are the cosecant (cosec = hyp/opp), secant (sec = hyp/adj), and cotangent (cot = adj/opp). Trigonometric ratios help answer virtually all questions about arbitrary triangles by using the law of sines and the law of cosines.

"text": "\"Cot Elementary Functions Cot [ z]Introduction to the Cotangent Function Defining the cotangent function The cotangent function is an old mathematical function. It was mentioned in 1620 by E. Gunter who invented the notation of \"\"cotangens\"\". Later on J. Keill (1726) and L. Euler (1748) used this function and its notation in their investigations. The classical definition of the cotangent function for real arguments is: \"\"the cotangent of an angle in a right‐angle triangle is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to the length to the opposite leg.\"\" This description of is valid for when the triangle is nondegenerate. This approach to the cotangent can be expanded to arbitrary real values of if consideration is given to the arbitrary point in the, ‐Cartesian plane and is defined as the ratio assuming that α is the value of the angle between the positive direction of the ‐axis and the direction from the origin to the point. Comparing the cotangent definition with the definitions of the sine and cosine functions shows that the following formula can also be used as a definition of the cotangent function: A quick look at the cotangent function Here is a graphic of the cotangent function for real values of its argument. Representation through more general functions The cotangent function can be represented using more general mathematical functions. As the ratio of the cosine and sine functions that are particular cases of the generalized hypergeometric, Bessel, Struve, and Mathieu functions, the cotangent function can also be represented as ratios of those special functions. But these representations are not very useful."

"text": "\"Trigonometric Identities You might like to read about Trigonometry first!Right Triangle The Trigonometric Identities are equations that are true for Right Angled Triangles. ( If it is not a Right Angled Triangle go to the Triangle Identitiespage. ) Each side of a right triangle has a name: Adjacent is always next to the angle And Opposite is opposite the angle We are soon going to be playing with all sorts of functions, but remember it all comes back to that simple triangle with: Angle θHypotenuse Adjacent Opposite Sine, Cosine and Tangent The three main functions in trigonometry are Sine, Cosine and Tangent. They are just the length of one side divided by another For a right triangle with an angle θ : Sine Function: sin ( θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cosine Function: cos ( θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tangent Function: tan ( θ) = Opposite / Adjacent For a given angle θ each ratio stays the same no matter how big or small the triangle is When we divide Sine by Cosine we get:sin (θ)cos (θ) = Opposite/Hypotenuse Adjacent/Hypotenuse = Opposite Adjacent = tan (θ)So we can say:tan (θ) = sin (θ)cos (θ)That is our first Trigonometric Identity. Cosecant, Secant and Cotangent We can also divide \"\"the other way around\"\" (such as Adjacent/Opposite instead of Opposite/Adjacent ): Cosecant Function: csc ( θ) = Hypotenuse / Opposite Secant Function: sec ( θ) = Hypotenuse / Adjacent Cotangent Function: cot ( θ) = Adjacent / Opposite Example: when Opposite = 2 and Hypotenuse = 4 thensin (θ) = 2/4, and csc (θ) = 4/2Because of all that we can say:sin (θ) = 1/csc (θ)cos (θ) = 1/sec (θ)tan (θ) = 1/cot (θ)And the other way around:csc (θ) = 1/sin (θ)sec (θ) = 1/cos (θ)cot (θ) = 1/tan (θ)And we also have:cot (θ) = cos (θ)/sin (θ)Pythagoras Theorem For the next trigonometric identities we start with Pythagoras' Theorem: The Pythagorean Theorem says that, in a right triangle, the square of a plus the square of b is equal to the square of c:a 2 + b 2 = c 2Dividing through by c 2 givesa 2c 2 + b 2c 2 = c 2c 2This can be simplified to: ( ac) 2 + ( bc) 2= 1Now, a/c is Opposite / Hypotenuse, which is sin (θ)And b/c is Adjacent / Hypotenuse, which is cos (θ)So (a/c) 2 + (b/c) 2 = 1 can also be written:sin 2 θ + cos 2 θ = 1Note:sin 2θ means to find the sine of θ, then square the result, andsin θ 2 means to square θ, then do the sine function Example: 32°Using 4 decimal places only:sin (32°) = 0.5299...cos (32°) = 0.8480... Now let's calculate sin 2θ + cos 2θ:0.5299 2 + 0.8480 2 = 0.2808... + 0.7191... = 0.9999... We get very close to 1 using only 4 decimal places. Try it on your calculator, you might get better results!Related identities include:sin 2 θ = 1 − cos 2 θ cos 2 θ = 1 − sin 2 θ tan 2 θ + 1 = sec 2 θ tan 2 θ = sec 2 θ − 1 cot 2 θ + 1 = csc 2 θ cot 2 θ = csc 2 θ − 1How Do You Remember Them?

The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix, e.g., arcsin ( x), arccos ( x), arctan ( x), etc. [ 6] This convention is used throughout the article. When measuring in radians, an angle of θ radians will correspond to an arc whose length is rθ, where r is the radius of the circle. Thus, in the unit circle, \"\"the arc whose cosine is x\"\" is the same as \"\"the angle whose cosine is x\"\", because the length of the arc of the circle in radii is the same as the measurement of the angle in radians. [ 10] Similarly, in computer programming languages the inverse trigonometric functions are usually called asin, acos, atan. The notations sin −1 ( x), cos −1 ( x), tan −1 ( x), etc.,"

The sine of an acute angle is defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, it is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse ). More generally, the definition of sine (and other trigonometric functions) can be extended to any real value in terms of the length of a certain line segment in a unit circle. More modern definitions express the sine as an infinite series or as the solution of certain differential equations, allowing their extension to arbitrary positive and negative values and even to complex numbers. The sine function is commonly used to model periodic phenomena such as sound and light waves, the position and velocity of harmonic oscillators, sunlight intensity and day length, and average temperature variations throughout the year. The function sine can be traced to the jyā and koṭi-jyā functions used in Gupta period Indian astronomy ( Aryabhatiya, Surya Siddhanta ), via translation from Sanskrit to Arabic and then from Arabic to Latin. [ 1] The word \"\"sine\"\" comes from a Latin mistranslation of the Arabic jiba, which is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word for half the chord, jya-ardha. ["

While dealing with functions, students come across the two very useful concepts called domain and range. The Domain of a function is defined as the group of all x values or all inputs. These input values when applied to the function, must produce corresponding output values. In other words, the domain of a function is the set of all the values or numbers that go inside the function to provide outputs. The range of a function is supposed to be the collection of all possible outputs or values of y. The range is also denoted by f (x); where x is the independent variable in function f. Thus, domain and range are two different operations performed on a set of values and the given function. Briefly, the domain of a function is the set of all possible input values, whereas the range is the set of all possible output values. On the graph of a function, the set of values towards the direction of the X axis is the domain ; while, the set of values towards the direction of the axis is termed as range. The range is also called as codomain. The domain of a function: All possible input values."

"text": "\"Trig Functions: Overview Under its simplest definition, a trigonometric (lit. \"\" triangle-measuring\"\") function, is one of the many functions that relate one non-right angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle (or vice versa). Any trigonometric function (f), therefore, always satisfies either of the following equations:f ( q) = a / b OR f (a / b) = q , where q is the measure of a certain angle in the triangle, and a and b are the lengths of two specific sides. This means that If the former equation holds, we can choose any right triangle, then take the measurement of one of the non-right angles, and when we evaluate the trigonometric function at that angle, the result will be the ratio of the lengths of two of the triangle's sides . However, if the latter equation holds, we can chose any right triangle, then compute the ratio of the lengths of two specific sides, and when we evaluate the trigonometric function at any that ratio, the result will be measure of one of the triangles non-right angles. ( These are called inverse trig functions since they do the inverse, or vice-versa, of the previous trig functions. ) This relationship between an angle and side ratios in a right triangle is one of the most important ideas in trigonometry. Furthermore, trigonometric functions work for any right triangle. Hence -- for a right triangle -- if we take the measurement of one of the triangles non-right angles, we can mathematically deduce the ratio of the lengths of any two of the triangle's sides by trig functions. And if we measure any side ratio, we can matematically deduce the measure of one of the triangle's non-right angles by inverse trig functions."

Trigonometry helps us find angles and distances, and is used a lot in science, engineering, video games, and more!Right-Angled Triangle The triangle of most interest is the right-angled triangle. The right angle is shown by the little box in the corner: Another angle is often labeled θ, and the three sides are then called: Adjacent: adjacent (next to) the angle θOpposite: opposite the angle θand the longest side is the Hypotenuse Why? Why is this triangle so important? Imagine we can measure along and up but want to know the direct distance and angle: Trigonometry can find that missing angle and distance. Or maybe we have a distance and angle and need to \"\"plot the dot\"\" along and up: Questions like these are common in engineering, computer animation and more.

"text": "\"Does climate change affect biotic and abiotic factors? Biology The Elements of an Ecosystem Abiotic and Biotic Factors1 Answer7Mr. Doc Share Feb 13, 2016Answer: Yes. Explanation: It certainly can. Global warming for example melts Arctic ice floes, which both polar bears and seals rely upon to rest on when making cross-ocean trips. Higher temperatures can cause some critical plant species to be replaced by more arid-type plants or vice versa. Changes to these abiotic factors can then affect biotic factors, or it can go directly to biotic factors. Animals suited for particular climates, such as polar bears or elephants would die if placed in each others habitats due to climate differences. Mini Ice Ages as well as global warming can have an effect on animals' overall health and adaptability to the environment Was this helpful? Let the contributor know!Yes Just asked!"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Lorentz transform)navigation search Part of a series on Spacetime General relativity Special relativity Doubly special relativity Spacetime concepts [show]General relativity [show]Classical gravity [show]Relevant mathematics [show]v t e In physics, the Lorentz transformations (or transformation) are coordinate transformations between two coordinate frames that move at constant velocity relative to each other. The transformations are named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz. Frames of reference can be divided into two groups: inertial (relative motion with constant velocity) and non-inertial (accelerating, moving in curved paths, rotational motion with constant angular velocity, etc.). The term \"\"Lorentz transformations\"\" only refers to transformations between inertial frames, usually in the context of special relativity. In each reference frame, an observer can use a local coordinate system (most exclusively Cartesian coordinates in this context) to measure lengths, and a clock to measure time intervals. An observer is a real or imaginary entity that can take measurements, say humans, or any other living organism—or even robots and computers. An event is something that happens at a point in space at an instant of time, or more formally a point in spacetime. The transformations connect the space and time coordinates of an event as measured by an observer in each frame. [ nb 1]They supersede the Galilean transformation of Newtonian physics, which assumes an absolute space and time (see Galilean relativity ). The Galilean transformation is a good approximation only at relative speeds much smaller than the speed of light."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A club (also known as a cudgel, baton, truncheon, cosh, nightstick, or bludgeon) is among the simplest of all weapons: a short staff or stick, usually made of wood, wielded as a weapon [1] since prehistoric times. There are several examples of blunt-force trauma caused by clubs in the past, including at the site of Nataruk in Turkana, Kenya, described as the scene of a prehistoric conflict between bands of hunter-gatherers 10,000 years ago. [ 2] In popular culture, clubs are associated with primitive cultures, especially cavemen. Most clubs are small enough to be swung with one hand, although larger clubs may require the use of two to be effective. Various specialized clubs are used in martial arts and other fields, including the law-enforcement baton. The military mace is a more sophisticated descendant of the club, typically made of metal and featuring a spiked, knobbed, or flanged head attached to a shaft. The wounds inflicted by a club are generally known as bludgeoning or blunt-force trauma injuries."

Space is at a premium, so many of the calculator buttons have to double up the functions they provide. The layout of the calculator in its normal state has the functions you would expect to see on a fairly standard scientific calculator, which means that it is probably self-explanatory. Notice the shift button in the top left-hand corner. To enter a number in exponential format, enter the mantissa, followed by the EXP key, then the exponent. To use the arithmetic functions, click their buttons. If the function is unary (i.e. acts on one number, e.g. 1/x) the display is updated to the result. If the function is binary (e.g. +, -, X etc.) enter the second number and click = or another arithmetic key. The functions of the buttons in their shifted state are not marked on the calculator body, but the buttons change when you press the shift button."

Preparing for Prison The View from Inside Imprisonment as a form of punishment can be traced back to Greek times, but until relatively recently long-term incarceration was extremely rare, only flourishing in modern times after transportation to 'the colonies' became unviable (in no small part due to the American Revolution). Traditionally, those that offended against society were punished publicly, generally in the most brutal way, from the stocks to the gibbet. Public executions, often with attendant torture and/or mutilation, were the norm in this country until the 17th century. Even when they were abolished it was not out of any sense of decency or humanity, but according to the Oxford History of the Prison, because they had \"\"become the occasion of rowdiness and disgust - both because the crowd had begun to identify with the victim, not the executioner, and because the spectacle had become revolting, offending a new sensibility about pain and bodily integrity. Thus, it became desirable to mete out punishment away from the public gaze. \"\" Today, prison is still very much a closed world, and while within the past two decades TV cameras have occasionally been able to show a very limited view of life behind bars, they rarely capture anything more than that which the authorities wish them to see. The true misery of imprisonment is deliberately kept secret from the general public, while the right-wing press and unscrupulous politicians conspire to present a picture of cushy 'holiday camps' and 'health farms'. The prison authorities do everything within their power (legal and illegal) to prevent investigative journalists having contact with prisoners and vice-versa, while Michael Howard and Jack Straw imposed a ban preventing visiting journalists reporting anything at all."

"text": "Transport Aviation February 9, 2015Why blimps and airships died out – and how they might make a comeback By Drew Reed Could this be the future of air travel? Image: Aeroscraft. Many years ago, long before the era of massive international airports, online ticketing agencies, and pesky pre-boarding security inspections, the airship was going to be the future. Needless to say, that didn’t quite work out. Today’s skies are ruled by jumbo jets, helicopters, and the occasional drone or two. But a recent invention may help these long forgotten flying machines to reclaim their rightful place in aviation history – or at least carve out a niche. “Airship” is a term for all motorised lighter-than-air craft, including blimps (which have inflatable air compartments) and zeppelins (which have rigid ones). They first came into existence after the development of the internal combustion engine, though a few daring aviators tried to pilot airships powered by steam engines. The first modern airship, the Zeppelin LZ1, took flight in 1900 – three years before the Wright Brothers made their famous flight. Due to their relative cost effectiveness and longer range, airships were seen as the more attractive form of air travel in the early 20th century."

"text": "\"First , here are some definitions from the Wolfram Documentation in The Mathematica Help section . \"\" Simplify [ expr] performs a sequence of algebraic and other transformations on expr and returns the simplest form it finds. Simplify tries expanding, factoring, and doing many other transformations on expressions, keeping track of the simplest form obtained. Simplify can be used on equations, inequalities, and domain specifications. Quantities that appear algebraically in inequalities are always assumed to be real. Full Simplify does more extensive simplification than Simplify. \"\" \"\" Full Simplify will always yield at least as simple a form as Simplify, but may take substantially longer. Full Simplify uses Root Reduce on expressions that involve Root objects. Full Simplify does transformations on most kinds of special functions. \"\" For example , typing Cosh [x] + Sinh [x] // Simplify (or equivalently Simplify [Cosh [x] + Sinh [x]]) will return the same expression ( Cosh [x] + Sinh [x] ) with no new result ."

Trigonometry Outline History Usage Functions ( inverse) Generalized trigonometry Reference Identities Exact constants Tables Unit circle Laws and theorems Sines Cosines Tangents Cotangents Pythagorean theorem Calculus Trigonometric substitution Integrals ( inverse functions) Derivativesv t e Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their side lengths are proportional. Proportionality constants are written within the image: sin θ, cos θ, tan θ, where θ is the common measure of five acute angles. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions [1] [2]) are functions of an angle. They relate the angles of a triangle to the lengths of its sides. Trigonometric functions are important in the study of triangles and modeling periodic phenomena, among many other applications. The most familiar trigonometric functions are the sine, cosine, and tangent. In the context of the standard unit circle (a circle with radius 1 unit), where a triangle is formed by a ray starting at the origin and making some angle with the x -axis, the sine of the angle gives the length of the y -component (the opposite to the angle or the rise) of the triangle, the cosine gives the length of the x -component (the adjacent of the angle or the run), and the tangent function gives the slope ( y -component divided by the x -component). More precise definitions are detailed below."

Earth Science The Solar System Inner Planets1 Answer81Becca M. and 1 other Share Feb 29, 2016Venus is often called Earth's \"\"sister planet\"\" or \"\"twin\"\" because of 3 major similarities: Size Mass, i.e. how much they weigh Composition, i.e. what material they're made of Further, Venus is the closest planet to Earth within the solar system. Size Earth’s diameter is 12,756.2 km, and Venus's is 12,103.6 km. Earth is only ≈ 5 % larger than Venus, which, in comparison to other size differences between other surrounding planets, is a relatively minute difference in size. In this image, you have to look carefully to notice that Earth (right) is slightly larger: Mass As with their sizes, the mass of Venus is only slightly lesser than that of Earth—Earth weighs only ≈ 19 % more than Venus does. Even the force of gravity on the 2 planets is close; you'd experience 90 % of gravity's force on Earth if you visited Venus. Composition Both Venus and Earth have metal cores surrounded by a mantle of silica rock (also common in rocky moons and asteroids), and then a thin crust. Despite these similarities, Earth and Venus are also quite different, causing some to nickname Venus \"\"Earth's evil twin. \"\" The major differences are those that make Venus too hostile to support life as Earth does: temperature and atmosphere. Venus's average temperature is 461.85 ° C (higher than that of molten lead!)"

Part of a series on Spacetime General relativity Special relativity Doubly special relativity Spacetime concepts [show]General relativity [show]Classical gravity [show]Relevant mathematics [show]v t e In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams can be be used to visualize relativistic effects such as why different observers perceive where and when events occur. Until the turn of the 20th century, the assumption had been that the three-dimensional geometry of the universe (its spatial expression in terms of coordinates, distances, and directions) was independent of one-dimensional time. However, in 1905, Albert Einstein based his seminal work on special relativity on two postulates: (1) The laws of physics are invariant (i.e., identical) in all inertial systems (i.e., non-accelerating frames of reference); (2) The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of the motion of the light source. The logical consequence of taking these postulates together is the inseparable joining together of the four dimensions, hitherto assumed as independent, of space and time. Many counterintuitive consequences emerge: in addition to being independent of the motion of the light source, the speed of light has the same speed regardless of the frame of reference in which it is measured; the distances and even temporal ordering of pairs of events change when measured in different inertial frames of reference (this is the relativity of simultaneity ); and the linear additivity of velocities no longer holds true. Einstein framed his theory in terms of kinematics (the study of moving bodies). His theory was a breakthrough advance over Lorentz's 1904 theory of electromagnetic phenomena and Poincaré's electrodynamic theory."

Home » Pulmonology » Phlegm »Clear mucus is daily excreted from our nasal and throat passages as it’s our bodies’ natural reaction to provide protection from thousands of irritants we come into contact daily, however coughing up brown mucus might signal of a potential health problem. Ranging from insignificant to serious, reasons for couging up brown mucus are numerious. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-most-common-causes-of-brown-phlegm.htm Coughing up phlegm is a sign of inflammation of the upper respiratory tract due to a cold, allergies, irritants or a more serious sinus, bronchi or lung infections. Our body produces a large amount of phlegm on a daily basis necessary to coat and neutralize any bacteria, virus or irritant that invaded our system. Bouts of persistent cough serve a purpose of evacuating excessive mucus along with foreign invaders. Coughing up various colors of mucus is a very important symptom your doctor might use to confirm your diagnoses or to provide him with an insight what might be causing your illness. Coughing up green phlegm, for example, could be a sign of a serous bacterial lung or bronchi infection that should be brought to your doctor’s attention. If your brown mucus is rusty in color, it could contain traces of old blood that can be caused by small capillaries located in bronchi and lungs bursting due to strong bouts of cough. http://www.webmd.com/allergies/features/the-truth-about-mucus?page=2Before you head to your doctor, pay close attention to coughing up brown mucus."

Phlegm is essentially a defense mechanism to fight against bacteria and virus attacks. It is produced in the lungs, bronchial tubes, throat passages, and sinuses. Phlegm could be of different colors and one would want to know what does green phlegm indicate. If the phlegm is green in color, it indicates that there is an infection in the respiratory tract. What does green phlegm mean? Green phlegm means that there could be pneumonia or internal bleeding. The phlegm appears green due to the presence of myeloperoxidases (MPO). This is an enzyme that is found in white blood cells. The presence of bacteria at the infection site results in the accumulation of white blood cells in the area and this results in green phlegm."

"text": "Home Blogs Causes of Excessive Phlegm & Mucus in the Throat Causes of Excessive Phlegm & Mucus in the Throat Tweet By Patricia | June 30, 2009While chronic phlegm does become a serious cause for worry for many, the truth is that there are a number of reasons for phlegm or excessive mucus in throat. For some, it may just be a case of morning reflux, with no excessive production of flem during the rest of the day. However, it could be a more serious problem such as lung cancer as well. If blood is present in the phlegm, it should be immediately checked with a medical health care provider. In this article, we will discuss what causes excessive phlegm and mucus in throat and what can be done to reduce phlegm in the throat. What is phlegm? Phlegm is a thick liquid substance that is secreted by the mucous membrane in the windpipe or airways. This fluid is secreted mainly during an infection. Phlegm is a mixture containing the pathogen that caused the infection such as bacteria or virus, inflammatory cells that were produced as a response to the infection, as well as other particles. Phlegm in Throat The purpose of phlegm in the throat is to filter the air we breathe so that the tiny particles of dust that we breathe in do not enter the respiratory system."

"text": "Topic Contents: Symptoms Causes Remedies Diet More Treatments FAQsadvertisement Phlegm Tweet Email Phlegm is a common occurrence. It refers to the mucus that is secreted by the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract. When the mucus membranes in your body try to fight off infections and inflammations, phlegm is formed. Phlegm is slightly different from mucus, as it comes from the lungs and not the nasal passages. Phlegm tends to collect and congest in the chest and throat region. It is usually expelled from the mouth when the individual coughs. Usually the formation of phlegm isnt a cause for worry. It is however an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition as it leads to constant throat congestion, constant throat clearing, coughing, and at times shortness of breath. Phlegm may also interfere with sleep patterns. While phlegm isnt usually dangerous, if it is ignored for long, it can clog and irritate the bronchial tubes causing a secondary upper respiratory tract infection."

When your child inhales before a long-lasting coughing fit, you will hear a whooping sounds. Pertussis, caused by a bacterial infection, seems like the common cold when symptoms begin -- a runny nose, sneezing and occasional cough precedes the worst of the symptoms. After one to two weeks of cold-like symptoms, your child's cough becomes more exaggerated and severe. Coughing may be so forceful and prolonged that your child's face may turn dusky during a fit and he might vomit from coughing. Protect your child from this contagious condition early in life by vaccinating him during his baby and toddler years. Keep your non-immunized child away from friends or family members who show signs of the disease."

Today, let's talk more about that pesky cough. Coughing is an automatic reflex that begins when nerves called cough receptors sense that something has entered your airways that shouldn't be there. The force behind a cough occurs because the opening to your windpipe (the glottis), located at the back of your throat, momentarily closes as you exhale."

Phlegm is mucus (sputum) coughed up from the chest. It reveals inflammation in the respiratory organs below the vocal cords (voice box, windpipe, bronchi and lungs). From the color and density of phlegm, and accompanying symptoms, its cause may be suspected. Clear or Thin White Mucus Clear or cloudy (white), thin and translucent mucus means there is no (or not much) pus or blood in it. Causes of clear white phlegm include: Acute viral bronchitis (chest cold) is inflammation of bronchi (airways between windpipe and lungs), sometimes affecting persons with common cold, influenza or other viral respiratory infection. Low-grade fever, runny nose, itchy throat, hoarseness, wheezing and initially dry and then productive cough with clear mucus may last from several days to several weeks. Mucus can, in some days, turn to yellow or green ( 1 ). Acute bronchitis caused by irritant gases (environmental or occupational) resembles viral bronchitis but usually there is no fever. Former smokers with chronic bronchitis may cough up white phlegm."

"text": "What Is Acute Bronchitis? Print Acute Bronchitis Remedies Many people suffer an attack of acute bronchitis as part of a severe cold. Bronchitis occurs when an irritant or infection causes inflammation and swelling of the lining of the bronchial tubes. These tubes, the bronchi, are the major air passages that lead from the trachea (the windpipe) into the lungs. The bronchi are lined with cilia, or tiny hairs, that sweep foreign matter out of the respiratory tract. When the bronchi are inflamed, the cilia don’t function properly, and coughing —the chief symptom of bronchitis—becomes the body’s way of coping with the irritants and mucus that build up and threaten to clog the bronchi. About 5 percent of Americans suffer from chronic bronchitis, which is characterized by a deep mucus-producing cough that over time becomes constant and lasts for months. Most people who get chronic bronchitis are smokers. Symptoms of Acute Bronchitis Persistent coughing that may be initially dry and hacking, but usually becomes productive, bringing up sputum that is green, yellow or gray Difficulty breathing Shortness of breath and wheezing (whistling sound during breathing)Fever (occasionally), usually below 101°F and chills Chest pain and discomfort behind the breastbone Generally feeling sick Headache, sore throat and body aches What Causes Acute Bronchitis Most cases of acute bronchitis are caused by viruses, including some of the viruses that cause the common cold. Occasionally, however, bacteria cause the condition."

Mucus is produced by the mucus membranes of the body as it tries to fight infections. Phlegm originates from the lungs. It is different from the mucus that is produced in the nasal passages. A common cause of phlegm is post nasal drip which is a symptom of sinus infections, colds, flu and inhalation of irritants. The diagnosis of the underlying condition could be made from the color of the phlegm. Colored phlegm is usually indicative of bronchial infection. Phlegm that is brown in color is often a cause of concern. It must be kept in mind that an individual who is coughing up colored phlegm requires quick medical assistance."

"text": "About Coughing Print A cough is one of the most common reasons that people see a doctor. Coughing is an important reflex that keeps lungs and airways free of secretions or foreign objects that might interfere with breathing. Coughing can be a response to an irritation or obstruction in the throat, larynx, bronchial tubes, or lungs, but in most cases a cough doesn't require medical attention. Your lungs, sinuses, and throat contain a network of cough receptors—nerve endings that transmit cough messages to the brain. Basically, a cough begins with a deep inhalation of air and closing of the epiglottis and vocal cords, which keeps the air in the lungs. Your diaphragm and chest muscles contract, creating pressure. The epiglottis and vocal cords open abruptly, so that the trapped air bursts out of the lungs, loosening and expelling foreign objects and mucus. You may not notice it, but people normally cough once or twice an hour—an action that clears the throat. That’s all well and good, until you get the dry hacking type of cough that keeps you awake at night and turns into a social liability by day. There are two distinct types of coughs, productive and nonproductive."

Description Sputum is a mucousy substance that is secreted into the airways ( bronchi and bronchioles) of the respiratory tract. Sputum is not the same as saliva, a substance secreted in the mouth to help with digestion. The terms sputum and phlegm are used interchangeably. Sputum is made up of a combination of cells and other matter that is present in the airways. The term mucus may sometimes be used instead of sputum, but sputum refers to that mucus specifically secreted in the respiratory tract, whereas mucus may also be produced in the gastrointestinal tract, urological tract, and genital tract.

Phlegm or mucus is a thick, jelly-like fluid coughed up from the throat. The word 'phlegm' comes from the Greek word phlegma, which stands for coughing out the mucus that has accumulated in the throat region. However, mucus is a part of our body's natural immune response that helps in eliminating invaders from our body. When mucus is expelled from the body through coughing or sneezing, quite often, the invader, too, gets ejected with it. Phlegm: Telling by the Color❒ Clear Phlegm: In its original color, phlegm is white."

It refers to the mucus that is secreted by the mucous membrane in the respiratory tract. When the mucus membranes in your body try to fight off infections and inflammations, phlegm is formed. Phlegm is slightly different from mucus, as it comes from the lungs and not the nasal passages. Phlegm tends to collect and congest in the chest and throat region. It is usually expelled from the mouth when the individual coughs. Usually the formation of phlegm isnt a cause for worry. It is however an uncomfortable and embarrassing condition as it leads to constant throat congestion, constant throat clearing, coughing, and at times shortness of breath. Phlegm may also interfere with sleep patterns. While phlegm isnt usually dangerous, if it is ignored for long, it can clog and irritate the bronchial tubes causing a secondary upper respiratory tract infection."

"text": "Coughing and Spitting Up Blood or Bloody Mucus Posted by Jan Modric Tweet How Can the Blood Appear in the Mouth? Blood, appearing in the mouth, can originate from the mouth, throat, nose, paranasal sinuses, voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), bronchi, lungs, gullet (esophagus) or stomach. A person coughing up blood without knowing the exact cause should seek medical care promptly. Blood in the mouth may appear from banal reasons, like picking the nose or from life threatening diseases, like lung cancer. Terms Explained Meaning of some terms used in the article: Phlegm, medically sputum, refers to mucus coughed up from the lower airways: voice box, windpipe, bronchi or lungs. Post nasal drip, medically catarrh, is mucus leaking from the nose or paranasal sinuses backwards into the throat. Hemoptysis (Greek haima = blood; ptysis = spitting) refers to spitting up blood that originated in the lungs or bronchi. Hematemesis (greek haima = blood; emesis = vomiting) refers to vomiting blood originated in the gullet (esophagus) or stomach. Finding the Cause of Coughing Up Blood from Symptoms A person, spitting up blood, may suspect its origin from accompanying symptoms: In a smoker, coughing up thick phlegm with blood, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer should be considered. A person with chronicly blocked nose and spitting up blood can have polyps or cancer in the nose or paranasal sinuses."

It is essential for body function and acts as a protective and moisturizing layer to keep critical organs from drying out. Mucus also acts as a trap for irritants like dust, smoke, or bacteria. It contains antibodies and bacteria-killing enzymes to help fight off infections. The body produces a lot of mucus -- about 1 to 1.5 liters per day.

Although a lot of people marry for love, it is still important to be practical, and to consider that there is a chance that a marriage might not last forever. That is where a prenuptial agreement comes into play. Creating a premarital agreement does not mean that a marriage is doomed to fail, or that either party is planning for it to - it simply means that both parties want to set a fair standard ahead of time in the case that circumstances change. Understanding how a premarital agreement might work for you, whether you need one, how to create one, and how it might change over time or in the case that you do get a divorce can be difficult.

"text": "Want CE Credit for reading this article? Learn More!The Happiness Spending Threshold And What It Really Means To Live Within Your Means May 31, 2017 07:00 am 20 Comments CATEGORY: General Planning287Shares A A A287Shares Executive Summary“Try to ‘live within your means’” is a staple of prudent financial advice – recognizing that not everyone earns the same income (“means”), and therefore not everyone can afford to spend the same. It prescribes that rather than trying to keep up with the Joneses – and their lifestyle spending – you should live within your means, instead. Yet the challenge is that as income rises, living “within” your means can produce what is, to most other people, an outsized and larger-than-life standard of living. In other words, while it might seem like prudent advice for those who are of struggling means – and therefore, must constrain their spending down to their income means – those who lift their spending up to live within their (much greater) means may be viewed with disdain. A case-in-point example is a recent article that profiled a high-income young couple with two children living in New York City, who felt that they were living “paycheck to paycheck” on their $500,000/year salary, even as they lived in a $1.5 million home, drove a BMW 5-series and a Toyota Land Cruiser, and took three $6,000/year vacations. Yet relative to their income – in trying to live within their means – the couple was actually spending 40% less on housing that the typical US household, 50% less on food, and 75% less on their cars (high-end though they were). In other words, relative to their means, this affluent couple was arguably doing a better job of “living within their means” than most. Which raises the question of whether “live within your means” is actually the right advice for anyone – regardless of income – or if the reality is that the strategy breaks down as a prudent spending recommendation at some point. Especially given the research suggesting that there is a “happiness threshold” – beyond about $75,000 of income (and associated spending within its means), more income and spending doesn’t appear to actually improve our emotional well-being."

We highlighted it in Thursday night’s broadcast, which is the first in a series by Paul Solman on the foreclosure mess. But, what is robo-signing? How does a mortgage get to that point? We’ll start at the beginning, with the loan for a house. Let’s say a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed, find what they think is the perfect home in upstate New York to raise the two children they plan on having. They go to Lovely Homes Mortgage Company down the street and take out a $300,000 loan for their dream home. They agree to pay a certain amount every month for the next thirty years. The couple goes home to pick out curtains, and Lovely Homes sends the mortgage packing. The loan would be sold to a bank, such as JPMorgan Chase or Bear Sterns, which ‘sponsors’ the loan."

No rude answers please Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: the other answers are right about what iui is but I just thought I would add that one iui costs about $300 in my area so that is pretty cheap compared to ivf. I would try iui first if I were you. Before an iui you husband or boyfriend would have to go to clinic and provide a sample of his sperm. They \"\"wash\"\" it so that all you get is top quality sperm to be inseminated then you would go in and have them insemination done.neonangelwings · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Hi! I went to justmommies.com and I found this:- IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a procedure done in a doctor's office that places sperm directly into a woman's uterus to aid in conception. During normal intercourse, only a small percentage of a man's sperm will make it past the woman's cervix and enter the uterus to fertilize the woman's egg. Most of the sperm that is ejaculated during intercourse remains in the vagina. A small percentage of the ejaculated sperm will travel, with the help of the woman's cervical mucous, through the vagina and into the cervical canal where it is released gradually into the uterus."

But how much money do couples invest in the health of their marriage, and the quality of their relationship?

"text": "\"Cameron's tax break for married couples: Who stands to benefit and how much will they get? By Adam Uren Published: 08:35 EDT, 28 September 2013 | Updated: 10:16 EDT, 30 September 201374View comments As the Conservatives gear up for their conference in Manchester this week, Prime Minister David Cameron has given his party a boost by announcing a new tax break for married couples. The £1,000 tax break is expected to be available to four million couples in the UK, and beats the £750 tax break promised in the Tories' General Election Manifesto of 2010, albeit is less than the £2,000 promised in 2007. It is set to be introduced in April 2015 and involves the transfer of personal tax allowances between spouses. This is Money takes a look at how it will work and who stands to benefit. Tax break: Married people will be allowed to transfer basic allowances to their spouses under Conservative proposals. How does it work? Individuals are given a 'personal allowance' - an amount they can earn free of income tax - which currently stands at £9,440, rising to £10,000 next April. Under the Coalition's plans, married couples will be able to transfer up to £1,000 unused personal tax allowances to their spouse, who will therefore be taxed on £1,000 less of their income. More... Cameron stands up for family values as he announces £1,000 tax break for every married couple Marriage is good for Britain - and that's why I'm backing it with a tax break, says DAVID CAMERONUnsure of your next move?"

Consider this electric bike analogy, When you operate an electric bike with its driving wheels lifted from the ground, the motor driving it is said to be in no load because it is not doing any useful work and also doesn't require much power to operate. If the wheel is in contact with the ground, it experiences friction (load) and the motor has to supply additional power to overcome this and keep the wheel rotating.

"text": "When two people want to elope, it means that they want to run away with each other with the intent of getting married. With all of the planning that it can take to pull off a wedding, many future brides and grooms joke that it is an option. While some would not consider doing it, there are those who make the decision to go through with it. Those who decide to elope can choose to do so for several reasons. One reason is that the couple does not want to deal with the extravagance and stress of a traditional wedding. They may feel that the day would be too commercial, and instead, decide to go a more low-key and less expensive route. Some couples also decide that running off and getting married is spontaneous and more romantic then a traditional wedding. Another reason couples may decide to elope is because of their individual families. For example, the bride’s family may dislike the groom or the families do not get along with each other. In order to avoid drama and worry, the couple can decide to concentrate on each other instead of being troubled with situations that may ruin their special day."

"text": "Separation for Married Couples Printer-friendly version Note: The information in this section applies to people who are married, and separating from their spouse. If you were living with a partner, but not married to them, you may find helpful information under the ' Common law ' section of this site. You are considered to be separated from your spouse if the two of you are no longer acting as a married couple. Usually this means that you are no longer living under the same roof. Sometimes, though, a separated couple will still live in the same household, but will have separate areas for sleeping, and will not share in daily activities, like meals, together. This arrangement may be necessary because of child-care or money issues. Whether or not you are considered to be ‘separated’ in this situation will depend on all of the facts. Some people think they need a 'legal separation' - a written separation agreement - to be separated from their spouse. You do not have to get anything in writing to be separated, and you do not need to tell the court that you are separated from your spouse. If you are separated, you can apply to the court to get a court order for issues like parenting arrangements, child support, or spousal support."

"text": "\"Living Together: Questions and Answers Regarding Cohabitation and the Church's Moral Teaching The Bishops of Pennsylvania Dear Engaged Couple: We congratulate you on your engagement and want to offer a word of encouragement to you during this special period of preparation for marriage. While there are many issues which you will discuss over the course of your preparation period, one important area in which many priests and couples have shared their concerns with us is that of engaged couples living together before marriage. While many in our society may see no problem with this arrangement, living together and having sexual relations before marriage can never be reconciled with what God expects of us. In addition, countless studies have shown that couples who live together before marriage have higher rates of divorce and a poorer quality of marital relationship than those who do not. Your engagement is meant to be a time of grace and growth in preparing for your marriage. In the months ahead, we urge all engaged couples who are living together to separate. All Catholics should seek to be reconciled with God and the Church by going to confession and by going to Mass and Holy Communion regularly. Living chastely during your remaining months of engagement will teach you many things about one another. It will help you to grow in the virtues of generous love, sacrificial giving, self-restraint and good communication - virtues which are essential for a good and lasting marriage. We pray that as you seek God and his way more deeply, you will be rewarded with an abundance of his grace."

"text": "\"April 10, 2012Courting vs. Dating: What Does It All Mean? What was meant to be a nice, ‘food coma’-inducing meal at Chipotle Mexican Grill , paired with a pleasant conversation between my boyfriend and I, quickly shifted gears, taking a turn for the worse. The monster that reared its ugly head this time was the seemingly unassuming, yet ever-lingering debate on dating versus courting. Do we really even know what either of those words mean? Or, are they just synonyms of each other–two different words essentially meaning the same thing? One of the boys at my church’s youth group recently turned 18 years old. As is commonly done to most ‘men’ this age, the heckling and teasing began shortly after the birthday cake had been cut. When asked if he had a girlfriend yet, or if he was dating anyone, this freshly minted man stated, “I don’t date…I court”. When asked if he even knew what that meant, he promptly replied with an earnest, “no”. This sort of answer in regards to dating is commonly heard at any church youth group, or even young adult groups, for that matter."

We've put together a detailed snapshot of what's known and what's been reported where. What information does the NSA collect and how? We don’t know all of the different types of information the NSA collects, but several secret collection programs have been revealed: A record of most calls made in the U. S., including the telephone number of the phones making and receiving the call, and how long the call lasted. This information is known as “metadata” and doesn’t include a recording of the actual call (but see below). This program was revealed through a leaked secret court order instructing Verizon to turn over all such information on a daily basis. Other phone companies, including AT&T and Sprint, also reportedly give their records to the NSA on a continual basis. All together, this is several billion calls per day."

"text": "September 23, 2009Michigan Arrest Warrants – What is a Bench Warrant?by Jeffrey J. Randa As a Criminal Defense Lawyer who appears in Detroit and Suburban Courts almost every day of the week, I hear and see Judges issue a “Bench Warrant” often. Most people have a general understanding of what a warrant is, but many are not clear on the meaning of the term “Bench Warrant” and how it relates to Warrants in general. A Bench Warrant is, as you can imagine, a Warrant that is issued “from the Bench,” meaning by the Judge sitting at his or her “desk” in Court. A Bench Warrant can only be issued in certain, limited situations. While a Bench Warrant is a kind of “ Arrest Warrant ,” not all Arrest Warrants are Bench Warrants, in the same way that a baseball is a kind of ball, but not all balls are baseballs. The focus of this article is upon Bench Warrants, when they’re issued, for whom, and how they’re dealt with. A Bench Warrant is issued when a person who is subject to an order of a particular Court does not comply with it. One of the most common situations in which Bench Warrants are issued is as good a place as any to look for an example. Assume a person has been arrested for an offense (it can be any offense: Drunk Driving, Possession of Marijuana, Domestic Violence, etc.) and is sent a notice by the Court to appear on a certain day."

"text": "Remove a Stain on the Supreme Court by Impeaching Justice Scalia He’s been off the rails for years, but the justice’s latest outburst regarding homosexuality should be the last straw: it’s time for Congress to kick him out, writes David Dow. David R. Dow12.14.12 3:45 AM ETPaul Morigi/Getty Images By now it is well-known that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia thinks homosexuality is immoral. In responding to a student during a talk at Princeton earlier this week, he said homosexuality is immoral in the same way that murder is immoral. Ever the lawyer, Scalia was careful to say he does not think they are equivalent—of course not! The two thoughts just happened to occur close together in his head, and so he said them. So, in other words, Scalia may agree that killing someone of the same (or opposite) sex is worse than loving someone of the same sex; but of course, murder is also worse than robbery and rape. What they all have in common, in the worldview of Antonin Scalia, is they are immoral. It’s been said before—even by me, in this very space —and many people of all political persuasions will disagree vehemently, but it is high time for Congress to do the right thing, protect the legacy and the future of the Supreme Court, and immediately impeach Justice Scalia. Some of you will stop reading here—if you didn’t already stop at the headline—scroll down to the comments and start spouting off (if that describes you, I hope you’ll at least turn off all-caps and check your spelling before you hit send). But for those of you who have the intellectual security to keep reading, consider the case against our most abhorrent and overripe black-robed official."

"text": "In Bullying Facts, Bullying in Schools, Bullying Laws, Parenting Help Understanding the Concept of Defamation Modified : January 31,2015When one person intentionally makes false accusations about another person, business, group or entity. If the false statements cause harm, financially, emotionally and socially, it is considered an act of defamation. Depending upon the severity of the claim, a person can file a civil case in court in an attempt to retrieve damages for their pain and suffering associated with the false statements. For most citizens, our personal character is an important part of our lives and we take offense when someone attempts to defame that character by spreading lies and rumors. Public figures, business owners and groups feel the same way we do as individuals when false accusations are made. All emotions, including anger and sadness, when hearing what is falsely being said. Here are more details about defamation and how it affects others. What is defamation? According to common law, in order for something to be considered defamation, it must be a false statement or false information about someone that is made to someone other than the defamed. The false statements must be made with the knowledge they are false in order to be considered defamation."

In the last chapter we looked at what defamation is and what most defamation laws say you must not do. In this chapter we consider the various defences which you might be able to use if you are sued for defamation; and we see how defamation is punished._____________________________________________________Defences against defamation If you have worked through the previous Chapter 69: Defamation - what you cannot do, it may seem that the laws of defamation are heavily against the journalist. You might be wondering at this moment just what you can say legally which is critical of a person or group. Don't worry. There are several defences which you can use to keep out of court or, if you are taken to court, to keep you from losing the case. We will discuss these defences now, not so that you can prepare for court, but so that you can understand under what circumstances you can say something critical of someone and not be taken to court. Truth Truth (which is also called justification) is probably the most common reason why journalists can get away with writing bad things about people. This is the defence that the words complained about are true. In many countries with either common law or defamation acts, if you can show that the words were true, you do not need any other defence."

"text": "\"1A. What Is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act? By Eugene Volokh on December 2, 2013 7:43 am in Hobby Lobby, Religious Freedom (For an introduction to this series of posts, see here .)1. Say that you feel a religious obligation to use a prohibited drug — hoasca (the drug at issue in Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal (2006) ), peyote, marijuana, or LSD. Or say that you’re a landlord who feels a religious obligation not to rent to unmarried couples (or same-sex couples), even though state law bars marital status discrimination or sexual orientation discrimination in housing. Or say that you feel a religious obligation to help someone commit suicide, in violation of state law — or a religious obligation not to testify against your parent, your child, or a coreligionist, even when you have a legal duty to do so. Should you be entitled to an exemption from the generally applicable law, because of your religious beliefs? Or should the government be free to apply the law to you just as it does to others? Until about 1960 (more or less), the rule was what one might call the statute-by-statute exemption model — religious objectors got exemptions if and only if the statute provided for one, as, for instance, draft law historically had. Judges got into the act only insofar as they created common-law exemptions from judge-made common-law rules, and these exemptions were trumpable by statute. The clergy-penitent privilege, which is an exception from the duty to testify, was one example."

"text": "1. Criminal offences (counterfeiting and piracy)Infringement of trade marks and copyrights can be criminal offences, as well as being actionable in civil law. A range of criminal provisions are set out in the relevant Acts, and other offences such as those under the Fraud Act 2006 may also be applied. These criminal offences are most often associated with organised crime groups who are dealing for profit in fake branded goods or pirated products. However, these offences can also occur in legitimate business, for example if an employee uses the workplace to produce and/or sell quantities of fake DVDs or branded goods to colleagues or outside the office.1.1. What is criminal intellectual property ( IP) rights infringement? Criminal IP offences are also known as “ IP crime” or “counterfeiting” and “piracy”. Counterfeiting can be defined as the manufacture, importation, distribution and sale of products which falsely carry the trade mark of a genuine brand without permission and for gain or loss to another. Piracy, which includes copying, distribution, importation etc of infringing works, does not always require direct profits from sales - wider and indirect benefits may be enough along with inflicting financial loss onto the rights holder. For example possession of an infringing copy of a work protected by copyright in the course of your business may be a criminal offence under section 107 (1) (c) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988."

Sub curia means that the court is holding the motion for sentence modification until such a time as the defendant or his attorney, if applicable, notifies it that they are ready to proceed on the hearing. This usually happens when, for example, the modification will only be granted if the defendant completes something like drug/alcohol treatment or anger management. The reason it must be held sub curia is because this motion is due within 90 days of sentencing, but the defendant wants to wait longer than that for the hearing to take place.

Coventry Health Care Requirements for Weight Loss Surgery Coventry Health Care requires that you meet a certain criteria. Their public bariatric surgery benefit statement says,“Bariatric surgery is a high risk procedure, and is generally performed only when less invasive methods of weight loss have failed and the patient is at high-risk for obesity-associated morbidity or mortality. ”What that means: Basically, it means that you must have a serious risk to your health to qualify for weight loss surgery. This is known as a severe comorbidity.

"text": "Missouri consumers to pay more for health coverage next year By Jordan Shapiro [email protected] > 314-340-8114 Nov 10, 2014 ( …)Health Care.gov screen grab (Nov. 10, 2014)Missouri health insurance consumers can get a first look at rates for 2015 coverage on Health Care.gov, but they may be in for a bit of sticker shock. St. Louis-area customers will have almost twice as many options to consider once open enrollment begins Saturday. Four insurers are selling a total of 42 different plans, a substantial increase from last year when only two carriers combined to sell 25 plans. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Missouri and Coventry Healthcare sold 2014 plans and will again sell coverage through the online insurance marketplace. For 2015 plans in Missouri, they are joined by United Healthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, and Cigna. But the increased competition isn’t necessarily driving down costs. For example, the monthly premium for the lowest-cost bronze plan — a plan that requires the highest level of customer cost-sharing — rose by nearly 12 percent, to $163 from $146 for a 27-year-old nonsmoker in St. Louis County. Deductibles for the 15 available bronze plans are all above $4,000, and many crack the $6,000 threshold. And although the lowest-cost silver plan — the next cost-sharing tier — had a smaller premium increase, about 5 percent for a young nonsmoker, it has a slightly higher out-of-pocket maximum than this year’s coverage. The monthly premium for 2015 rose to $206 from $196."

"text": "Top 25 Health Insurance Company Review Health insurance prices have been increasing rapidly in recent years mainly because the cost of health care has been following a steady rise that dramatically outpaces even the rate of inflation. Doctor office visits can cost $200 or more if you don’t have health insurance and surgery prices are out of control. An emergency room visit can leave you in debt for a long time if you don’t have health insurance. The single biggest cause of bankruptcy in the United States is medical bills. The top tier health insurance companies have been trying to develop plans that are affordable to the public and if you are looking for some information on the “big dogs” of health care insurance, this article will show you the top companies with their respective websites and describe their ratings, plans offered and their history. First of all, why is it even important to choose a larger sized health insurance company versus a small insurer? Company reputation, claims experience, affordable plans, financial strength ratings, and customer service are all very important factors that you should consider in choosing your health insurance company but an often overlooked crucial consideration in choosing the best health insurance company is the company’s network of medical providers. With almost all PPO, HMO, and POS plans the insurance company contractually arranges with hospitals, Physicians, Clinics, and other medical service providers to agree to cheaper rates for medical services for their members (called the “lower negotiated rate”). The larger the company then the more “pull” they have with the various medical providers to negotiate lower rates for their members because of volume (the millions of members on their insurance plans). For example, a very large nationwide company like a United Healthcare or an Aetna will be able to negotiate some of the lowest rates possible for those on its health insurance plans where say a very small regional health insurance company like Avalon Healthcare out of Tampa, FL will have trouble getting anywhere close to the same discounts."

"text": "Howard E. Lewine, MDHospitalist CPK is the abbreviation for a blood test called creatine phosphokinase. CPK is an enzyme found primarily in muscles. This includes the muscles in the heart. Any muscle injury or damage can cause a rise in the blood level of CPK. For example, a person would likely have a high CPK after a fall. A high CPK also occurs when someone has a heart attack. Inflammation in the muscles, called myositis, will raise the CPK level. Usually people with myositis have aches and pains and muscle weakness. Some people persistently have a CPK that is higher than normal because of decreased excretion of CPK through the kidneys. This is seen most often in people with kidney disease."

Credit: Medic Image Universal Images Group Getty Images Full Answer The CPK is an enzyme that mainly occurs in the brain, heart and skeletal muscle, explains Medline Plus. Typically, an elevated CPK level indicates stressed or injured brain, heart or skeletal muscle. Doctors determine the level of CPK in the body through a blood test, which helps diagnose conditions such as heart attack, dermatomyositis and polymyositis. However, the test may be risky because some patients may faint or bleed excessively in the process."

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

Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. Creatine kinase (CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phospho-creatine kinase, is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed by various tissues and cell types. CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). This CK enzyme reaction is reversible and thus ATP can be generated from PCr and ADP. Main Document\"\"An elevated CPK result, or one that goes up from the first test to the second one or later samples, usually indicates there has been some recent muscle damage...\"\"Creatine phosphokinase or, 'CPK,' is an enzyme found in high concentrations in a person's muscles where it facilitates a person's muscle contraction. CPK is also referred to as, 'creatine kinase,' or, 'CK.' A doctor might check a person's CPK when they are concerned a person has experienced muscle damage or breakdown. In a rare condition called, 'rhabdomyolysis,' extreme muscle breakdown floods a person's blood with CPK and additional chemicals in their muscle cells. Some of these are toxic to a person's kidneys, making the condition a dangerous one."

"text": "\"Muscle Pain and Statins By Duane Graveline, M. D., M. P. H. Myalgia, defined as muscle pain, is the most common side effect of statin drugs, occurring with a frequency reportedly as high as 20% in some studies. Any muscle area can be involved, with the time of onset after the start of statin therapy being as short as a few weeks to several years, on a fixed dose. Weakness frequently co-exists. The pain intensity ranges from dull, nagging to excruciating and incapacitating, almost always aggravated by muscle use. A definite correlation exists between muscle pain and statin dosage. It is worth noting that statins vary in strength with the newer statins being much stronger than earlier drugs in this class. A substantial percentage of these statin induced myopathies have been enzymatically negative with consistently normal CPK ( creatine phosphokinase ) test results but many of them fail to subside after cessation of the offending statin. There are many thousands of statin drug users carrying the burden of chronic muscle pain who had been completely free of such complaints prior to statin drug use. This doesn't even consider rhabdomyolysis deaths in particularly sensitive people occurring at a present rate of just over 30 deaths yearly. Rhabdomyolysis is the dreaded end stage process of muscle breakdown and subsequent kidney blockage and, in the most extreme cases, kidney failure."

"text": "What Are the Dangers of High Muscle Enzymes?by MELISSA SANDOVAL Aug. 14, 2017Your body's muscle tissue contains several enzymes, which are catalysts that cause chemical reactions. Your muscles require chemical reactions to supply them with energy, help them repair damage and help them function. High muscle enzymes in your blood can mean that muscle cells have been damaged. High muscle enzymes can also occur because of muscle-wasting disorders or because of damage to another organ that contains some of the same enzymes as your muscles, such as the liver. If you have high muscle enzyme levels in your blood, your doctor will evaluate any symptoms you have and perform other necessary tests to find out the cause. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Muscle Enzymes Commonly tested muscle enzymes include creatine phosphokinase, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase and aldolase. Creatine phosphokinase makes possible a chemical reaction that converts creatine into phosphate, which is a quick energy source for your muscles. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, which is also called SGOT or aspartate aminotransferase, is necessary for your body to process amino acids and use them to build the proteins in your muscle tissue. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is present in all of your body's cells, including your muscle cells. Your body uses aldolase to metabolize amino acids."

Catheter \"\"fling\"\" will occur on the waveform Correct answer - A Readings will be falsely high if the transducer level is lower than the phlebostatic axis during pulmonary artery pressure monitoring. This is caused by the additional pressure, or weight, of the fluid within the catheter and tubing, also known as hydrostatic pressure. When the phlebostatic axis and transducer level are at the same height, effective of hydrostatic pressure are negated. Catheter fling will occur on the waveform when the tip of the balloon flotation catheter is close to the pulmonic valve. The turbulence caused by the valve opening and closing results in a chaotic, spiking waveform known as a catheter fling.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For CPM related to internet marketing, see Cost per impression Cost per mille ( CPM ), also called cost per thousand ( CPT) (in Latin, French and Italian, mille means one thousand ), is a commonly used measurement in advertising. It is the cost an advertiser pays for one thousand views or clicks of an advertisement. [ 1] Radio, television, newspaper, magazine, out-of-home advertising, and online advertising can be purchased on the basis of exposing the ad to one thousand viewers or listeners. It is used in marketing as a benchmarking metric to calculate the relative cost of an advertising campaign or an ad message in a given medium. [ 2] [3]The \"\"cost per thousand advertising impressions\"\" metric (CPM) is calculated by dividing the cost of an advertising placement by the number of impressions (expressed in thousands) that it generates. CPM is useful for comparing the relative efficiency of various advertising opportunities or media and in evaluating the overall costs of advertising campaigns. [ 4]For media without countable views, CPM reflects the cost per 1000 estimated views of the ad. This traditional form of measuring advertising cost can also be used in tandem with performance based models such as percentage of sale, or cost per acquisition (CPA). Contents [ hide ]1 Purpose2 Construction3 Related metrics and concepts3.1 Effective cost per mille3.2 Cost per point (CPP) or cost per rating point (CPR or CPRP)4 See also5 References6 External links Purpose [ edit]The purpose of the CPM metric is to compare costs of advertising campaigns within and across different media.

Suryakanta | August 11, 2015 | Building Construction, Construction, Project Management | No Comments What is CPMadvantages of PERT and CPM methods Critical path method ( CPM) was developed in USA in 1957 by Morgann E. Walker and James Kelley. This method was first used for planning and scheduling the construction of a new chemical plant by DU pont. Later this method was used for scheduling the overhaul and maintenance for shut down of equipment I their works. CPM networks are generally used for planning, scheduling and controlling of repetitive type of projects (like construction projects) where one can make fairly accurate assessment of time for completion of each and every job required to be carries out to complete the project. What is PERTProgram Evaluation and Review Technique ( PERT) was first developed in 1958 by USA Navy special project office and a management consulting firm for planning and control of the Polaris sub-marine missile project. The technique of PERT was specially developed to help reducing the overall project time by as much as possible. PERT networks are generally used in research and development types of projects which are non-repetitive in nature or for projects where it is difficult to allot definite time for performing each and every activity for want of information regarding past experience or knowledge to handle such projects. Advantages of PERT & CPMThe various advantages of PERT/CPM methods are summarized below. In the network technique of planning and scheduling, one is compelled to examine the complete project in advance and interact with everyone who is to be involved in the project thereby evolving a workable plan of the project."

"text": "Digital CPM vs CPC: Which Should You Use For Facebook Ads? By Nick O'Neill | September 9, 2010When getting started with online advertising, one of the first questions people will ask is, “Should I bid on a CPM or CPC basis?” Ultimately it’s a personal preference for most advertisers, however this guide should help answer your questions and determine which you should use. By default, most people go the CPC route, however there are legitimate reasons to occasionally bid on a CPM basis. Read on to figure out which you should use. How Facebook Ads Work Before jumping in to the difference between cost per click (CPC) ads and cost per thousand impressions (CPM) ads, we thought we’d provide a basic over view of how Facebook’s ad system works. Ultimately, Facebook’s ad network operates as a blind auction. Advertisers bid to have their ads displayed to various demographics. Facebook then displays those ads which perform the best (or generate the highest CPM for Facebook). The Initial Test While Facebook already knows how ads that have been running beyond the first few thousand impressions will perform, Facebook must test all new advertisements to determine their effectiveness."

Michelle Rettig Posts: 4Karma: 0Reply Quote Making sense of the ARM, CAM, CPM designations 4 years 7 months ago #12133Tweet Hello Michelle, Now understand there are going to be a lot of opinions. So here is mine: The CPM designation is recognized as the most valuable the industry. I will say that it is easier and cheaper to get your CAM (cheapest),ARM (cost a little more than the CAM), RAM (just under the cost of the CPM), and your CPM is going to cost the most. The only time these designations really come into play is when you are up against other candidates with the same experience that you have. If you are running against others with these designations, then the designation could be considered a plus in your favor."

"text": "Midwife and MCU faculty member Jes La Bleu The definition of a midwife varies depending upon where you live in the world. In the United States there are two categories of midwives: nurse-midwives, who are trained in both nursing and midwifery, and direct entry midwives, who are not necessarily nurses before they train to become midwives. Upon graduation from the Midwives College of Utah, a student will obtain a degree in midwifery and be eligible to apply for the national credential of Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Canadian graduates must complete additional requirements to become a Registerd Midwife (RM) in Canada. Helpful Resources to Understand Midwifery Designations As defined by North American Registry of Midwives“A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) is a knowledgeable, skilled and professional independent midwifery practitioner who has met the standards for certification set by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) and is qualified to provide the Midwives Model of Care. The CPM is the only midwifery credential that requires knowledge about and experience in out-of-hospital settings. Most CPMs own or work in private home or birth center based practices throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Providing continuous care for women throughout their childbearing cycle, CPMs generally carry a relatively low client load (averaging 3-6 births per month) which allows for more personalized and comprehensive care than typical obstetrical practices. The scope of practice of the CPM is derived from the NARM Job Analysis, state laws and regulations, and individual practice guidelines developed by each midwife according to her skills and knowledge. Based on the MANA Core Competencies, the guiding principles of the practice of CPMs are to work with women to promote a healthy pregnancy, and provide education to help her make informed decisions about her own care."

If so, then the real question is how much traffic do you really need to make big bucks with Google Ad Sense? While it’s true that we can’t predict the Google Ad Sense income exactly, we can optimize the ads in different ways so as to make the most out of it. Also, you must make sure that your website category is advertising friendly because your Ad Sense income depends a lot upon the category of your website. You can use Google Ad Words Keyword Planner tool to find out the competition in your industry. If there is enough competition (i.e. if the suggested bid by Ad Words for keywords in your niche is high) then we can assume that Google will fill your ad spaces with high paying ads (see how Ad Sense works ). For example, if you Google search “loans” then you’ll see a lot of ads so it means that if you have a blog related to personal finance then there will be enough competition for your ad space. Now I’ve randomly added few keywords to Keyword Planner to find out its suggested bid by Ad Words. Here they are: As you can see, the competition for keywords related to “finance” is very high compared to keywords related to “food”. Of course, the suggested bid is just an estimate and the real cost-per-click varies a lot."

Rehabilitation nursing is a fast-paced specialty that involves helping patients and their families deal with short-term, progressive, or long-term impediments and disabilities in ways that constructively facilitate the highest level of function possible. Rehabilitation nurses manage the care of patients, perform a wide array of nursing skills, respond to changes in condition, and bestow psychosocial support upon patients and their families. In most rehabilitation facilities, the rehab nurse collaborates with physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dieticians, social workers, case managers, pharmacists, speech language pathologists, respiratory therapists, and other members of the disciplinary team to help patients deal with limitations in an adaptive manner, reach their full potential, restore their previous level of function, and maintain or increase modified levels of independence. Rehab nurses provide care to patients across the life span with numerous afflictions and diagnoses. Patients who are recovering from strokes (also known as cerebrovascular accidents), heart attacks (also known as myocardial infarctions), pneumonia, multiple trauma, fractures, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and general deconditioning often end up on rehabilitation units. Rehab nurses also care for patients who need extended recovery after surgical procedures such as knee replacements (also known as total knee arthroplasties), hip replacements, limb amputations, hysterectomies, back surgeries, coronary artery bypass grafts, colectomies, and laryngectomies."

Every country across the globe, almost without exception, has midwives. Becoming a midwife is an exciting opportunity to join an honorable lineage of health care providers who serve women throughout their lifespan, in every rural, urban, tribal, and remote area of the world. Though having ancient roots, this modern profession is on the cutting edge of providing up-to-date, personalized, high quality care. Midwives Are on the Rise According to the 2012 Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health article by Eugene Declerq Ph D, Trends in Midwife Attended Births in the United States, 1989-2009, which cites statistics from the Center from Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of midwives attending births in the U. S. reached an all-time high in 2009, and may still be rising. This is an excellent time to become a midwife. An increase in the midwifery workforce will bring the United States more in line with the rest of the world where midwives already play a central role in providing maternity and newborn care. Routes of Entry into Midwifery In the United States there are several pathways to midwifery education and training. Most pathways result in midwifery certification and qualify the candidate for licensing in her/his state or municipality. Candidates seeking to become certified and licensed midwives can choose among several routes of entry into the profession using nurse-midwifery or direct-entry midwifery educational programs."

I have had extraordinary performance out of all of my CZ guns, but realized I had not tried nor put the 2075 RAMI through its paces, and decided to change that. There are very few CZ pistols that I do not own, and the time came overdue to invest in a RAMI. I bought the CZ 2075 BD model (decocker version) in 9mm at the CZ Custom Shop (CZC) up in Mesa AZ. The gun came with factory-installed night sights, and I left it there to have CZC do a carry trigger job for me (and refinish the frame, so it matched the 2 other de-cocker CZ’s I frequently use: CZ 75BD Police and CZ Pro-Tek 1 Black –a custom CZ 75C PCR built by CZ Custom). They do nearly all of the gunsmith work on my competition, training and carry guns, and are easily worth every penny paid, and any wait time. The CZ 2075 RAMI comes in 40S&W, as well, but I felt the combination of the 2 extra round capacity, the relative effectiveness of modern expanding ammunition, and the enhanced shootability made more sense to opt for a 9mm variant like the BD model. The pistol is based on the CZ 75 design but was the brainchild of designers Ra dek Hauerland and Mi lan Trkulja, and first made available in 2007. The name comes from the first 2 letters of each designer’s name. The pistol itself was actually a spin-off of the CZ/Colt Z40 project, combined with lessons learned in police compact pistol CZ 75 D COMPACT (P-01), but that is a different topic altogether."

You may need to make a gun to defend yourself, or you may only make a gun to aid in aquiring a better gun. Whatever your needs, you can make a gun with commonly available materials and tools, ingenuity, and hard work. Ammunition The purpose of a gun is to fire ammunition safely towards a target. To understand how to make a gun, you must first understand ammunition. Modern ammunition consists of four main components: A piece of lead or another soft metal which is called the bullet. A small amount of smokeless gunpowder which creates and enormous amount of gas as it burns. This gas forces the bullet through the barrel and towards the target. An extremely small amount of pressure-sensitive explosive which starts the smokeless gunpowder on fire."

Skip to the units >The Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, is scheduled for spending and personnel increases while the rest of the military looks to be making cuts. End strength goals indicate that America's entire crop of military operators will top off at 70,000. In fact, the number of operators has doubled since 9/11, and their budget tripled — from $3.5 billion to $10.5 billion. The trend will likely continue as the U. S. is in the middle of a shift to \"\"smaller footprint\"\" type operations. Putting 100 thousand troops and countless private support personnel on the ground in any given country — sometimes referred to as \"\"nation building\"\" — is a costly strategy. Putting a boot or two on Osama bin Laden's door arguably cost more in political currency — Pakistan wasn't too happy — than actual currency. Though it was the SEALs who performed that raid in Abbottabad, it's worth noting there are quite a few more Spec Ops units in the U. S. than just SEALs — Green Berets and Marine Snipers, etc. — so we here at Business Insider have made things easy by assembling a comprehensive list of all the Spec Ops units we could find (with help from the extensive descriptions on American Special Ops.com ).

It is accessed from the Playercard, and, like the Clan Tag, can be painted onto the player's gun.

Most of these emblems are then resized, cropped, or rotated into the player's choice of things, including (but not limited to), logos, scenes, animals, etc. Before the player unlocks the Emblem Editor at Level 10, they will have a default emblem that signifies each rank that the player is on. This could last until Level 50, if the player decides not to change his/her emblem. Most of the emblems that are used to make the player's \"\"logo\"\" are fairly basic.

"text": "\"P&S calls for using the middle finger of the strong hand to pull the trigger, or using the index finger of the weak hand to do that. The following briefly describes how our fingers flex, and details the several pluses that accrue to the use of the middle finger when squeezing or pulling the trigger. .......... Both the index finger and the middle finger can be flexed and extended separately. And when you first squeeze or pull the trigger, the end of your finger does not move directly back against the trigger. It moves in an arc. That happens because of the physical arrangement of the muscles and tendons of the fingers which are put into play when a finger is flexed. They flex the middle portion of a finger first. And as the middle knuckle is its fulcrum, the first movement of the end of the finger will be an arc with its center point being, the middle knuckle. It is only after the middle portion of the finger has flexed some, that the end of the finger begins to flex more directly back against the trigger. As such, placing the first pad of a finger on the trigger may cause you to miss your shot, and particularly in a rapid fire situation where the possibility of your being able to squeeze the trigger smoothly until each shot breaks will be very questionable."

Getting a private demo of state-of-the-art training technology is one of them. Two weeks ago I was able to meet up with Mark Meadows, US Sales & Training Director for Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) for a private demo of some of their non-lethal training ammunition used in close combat training. I was blown away, but the good thing is, you won’t be. Ultimate Training Munitions’ products are designed to be precisely that: purpose-built firearms training devices, ammunition and accessories designed for military, law enforcement, and professional training organizations. They make several kinds of blanks, marker rounds, and a target bullet round. The really cool part? You use your weapon with only minimal and temporary modifications, not an unfamiliar or unrealistic training weapon or heavily modified attachments. Essentially, and without getting into too much detail, all UTM ammunition, works by using a two-part cartridge case, one or two primers, and a fail-safe conversion kit that prevents live rounds from being fired. UTM makes four kinds of training ammunition for common military and police small arms, from pistols to light machine guns."

Rumor has it that the PJs will indeed be arriving here, which is fantastic news! For those new arrivals, welcome to our modest town in Eastern New Mexico. We are proud to have some of our military's finest professionals relocating to our community in the coming years. Cannon Air Force Base has been a focal point of our area, and it is the reason that my family located here. My father was with the 2040th Communications Squadron from 1954-1964, and when he was stationed at Cannon, our family found it so pleasant and comfortable, they decided to stay. A lot of Air Force families have settled here."

"text": "\"Home > Home Loans > CRA Home Loans CRA Home Loans A CRA home loan is originated by a federally regulated bank or mortgage lender that is obligated to meet the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) of 1977. Some banks refer to these loan products as \"\"portfolio loans.\"\" Typically the largest of the federally-regulated banks have created special CRA home loan programs that are designed to meet the needs of low and moderate income households in their service area. Benefits of a CRA Home Loan CRA home loan programs are not the same from one bank to the other and so the benefits of the various programs vary considerably as well. In general, however, they are usually great home loan options for for first-time home buyers to know about and to research when considering their home loan options. Here are just some of the typical benefits you will find with a CRA home loan: Lower down payment requirements Lower or no mortgage insurance premiums Don't need to be a first-time home buyer No income limits if you buy in a low to moderate income area Seller can pay your closing costs Lower minimum credit score Flexible underwriting Compatible with down payment assistance programs Compatible with a gift from a family member or friend Available in all 50 states Eligibility for a CRA Home Loan Program To be eligible for a CRA home loan program the following are some examples of typical requirements across the various programs: You must be low or moderate income (earning 80% or less than the area median) or that the property is located in a low to moderate income census tract. You must own and occupy the home you are financing. The borrower and co-borrower must complete home buyer education provided by a HUD certified housing counseling agency. Meeting a CRA loan programs underwriting or credit standards is often easier than qualifying for other types of loans. Depending on the program, you may still qualify for an CRA home loan with a lower credit score and some lenders still allow you to build an alternate credit history if needed."

Read full question Bill's Answer 74 Comments4.4 /5.0 (9 Votes)By Mark Cappel Published: Dec 18, 2009Highlights A derogatory entry on a credit report can appear for 7 1/2 years. The rules for credit reports have no relationship to a state's statute of limitations. A debt older than the statute of limitations can still be collected privately. Before I explore the issues raised in your question, we need to establish a few definitions and concepts. Charge Off“Charge-off” is an accounting term used by creditors when they move a delinquent account from its accounts receivable books to its bad debt ledger. This usually occurs between 180 and 240 days from the date of your last payment. The fact that an account is charged-off does not mean the debt may not be collected later, or is canceled or forgiven. The charge-off date also does not correspond to the statute of limitations on collecting a debt, or the date that an entry on a credit record must be removed. All three dates or deadlines are independent of each other and have different meanings."

"text": "Contents >> Housing >> Renter households RENTER HOUSEHOLDSABSTRACT Renting is relatively common among young adults and low income households. In addition, some high income households may choose to rent for financial, lifestyle or other reasons. Over the decade to 2005-06, the proportion of Australian households renting from a state/territory housing authority remained stable at around 5%, while the proportion renting privately rose slightly, from 19% to 22%. This article describes the characteristics of renter households in terms of their composition and income level, and also looks at changes in rental costs and vacancy rates over time. INTRODUCTION Home ownership is a widely held aspiration in Australia with renting commonly viewed as a transitory phase in one's housing 'career'. Owner-occupier households are seen to enjoy a number of benefits that may not be available to renters such as greater locational stability and the accumulated wealth present in the property. 1 While renting is often associated with low income, living in a rented home can also be seen as a cost-effective alternative to home ownership. The advantages of renting include greater flexibility of lifestyle and the opportunity to invest money elsewhere. 1 This article examines selected characteristics of renter households such as household composition, life course stage, and relative income level. It also looks at changes in rental costs over time."

What Are Debt Buyers? When you have an old debt such as a credit card, hospital or utility bill, it is not uncommon for the original creditor to sell that debt to a third party, called a debt buyer. Debt buyers purchase old debts, often for pennies on the dollar, and then try to collect from you. In many cases, the account is so old that the statute of limitations (the time period the creditor or bill collector has to sue you) has expired. This means the debt buyer can no longer legally sue you for the debt. However, just because a debt cannot sue you, doesn't mean it can't try to get you to voluntarily pay up.

Credit Reporting Agencies (CRAs) include Equifax, Experian, Innovis and Trans Union, their affiliates or Independent Credit Bureaus and Mortgage Reporting Companies. e-OSCAR also provides for Data Furnishers (DFs) to send \"\"out-of-cycle\"\" credit history updates to Credit Reporting Agencies (Equifax, Experian, Innovis and Trans Union). The system primarily supports Automated Credit Dispute Verification (ACDV) and Automated Universal Dataform (AUD) processing as well as a number of related processes that handle registration, subscriber code management and reporting. This system was created to reduce the overhead caused by about 20 thousand dispute letters received by the CRAs every day. This is what Credit Bureaus should do when they receive a Dispute Letter: After this section you will find the real process followed by Credit Reporting Agencies (Credit Bureaus) using e-OSCAR. An employee at the Credit Bureau receives the dispute and personally reviews it. During this review they gather information and documents in regards to the disputed account by contacting the original creditor or collection agency (Data Furnisher). The Credit Bureau Employee then reviews copies of original documents like the Credit Application, Billing Statements, Billing and Payment Statements or notes in the account looking for any errors in reporting. If anything is in question they will request proof from the “Data Furnisher."

Read Diabetes Canada's full position statement on tax credits The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) for Canadians with Diabetes People with type 1 diabetes may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) if they meet the eligibility criteria for receiving a life-sustaining therapy. What are the eligibility criteria for the DTC? The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) must receive confirmation that the applicant spends at least 14 hours per week on the activities specified by the CRA (listed below) that are related to administering insulin. Who can apply for the DTC? Parents of children with type 1 diabetes Kids with type 1 diabetes under the age 18 years may be eligible for the DTC, as long as the child’s physician signs the T2201 Disability Tax Credit Certificate to certify that the eligibility criteria are met. Most kids under age 18 qualify for the DTC because the child and parent/guardian time can be combined to meet the 14 hour per week criteria. The CRA will require individuals to reapply when they turn age 18. Adults with type 1 diabetes Adults must discuss their eligibility with their doctor."

"text": "Helpful Information HST? - HOW IT AFFECTS 13 MATTERS IN REAL ESTATE!Beginning July 1, 2010, there will be sales tax in Ontario of 5% + 8% = 13% (12% in British Columbia) replacing the former 5% GST (Goods and Services Tax) and the former 8% PST (Provincial Sales Tax). In Ontario, 8% PST will only continue to exist (separate from HST) with respect to 8% provincial sales tax on some insurance premiums.1) HST and Mortgage Brokerage Fees (to arrange a mortgage, if one uses a Mortgage Broker)HST will NOT apply since mortgage brokerage services are exempt as part of the financial services industry.2) HST on Real Estate Commissions Generally, HST will be payable on commissions for any real estate sale closed after July 1, 2010. However, the general transitional rule (for sale contracts entered into before July 1, 2010), is that, if at least 90% of the services were performed prior to July 1, 2010, only 5% GST is payable ( NO PST). If an offer to purchase real estate was accepted PRIOR TO July 1, 2010, then the realtor services were performed PRIOR TO July 1, 2010, and only 5% GST should be payable even though the realtor's commission is not due for payment until the sale has closed after July 1, 2010. WARNING TO SELLERS: If, prior to July 1, 2010, a seller is about to accept an offer to purchase (which will close after July 1, 2010), the seller should clarify in writing with the realtor that only GST will be payable on commissions due on a sale closing after July 1, 2010.3) HST and Rents Paid by Tenants For residential tenancies, HST will NOT apply to such rents. For commercial tenancies (industrial, office or retail), HST will be charged on rents paid after July 1, 2010 ( but most commercial tenants qualify to recover such HST payments through input tax credits).4) HST and Condominium Monthly Maintenance Fees For residential condominiums, HST will NOT apply on monthly common expenses, BUT HST is payable for commercial (retail, office, industrial) condo common expenses paid on or after July 1, 2010 (most commercial condo owners qualify to recover such HST payments through input tax credits).5) HST on HOME RENOVATIONSFor any part of services (labour and materials) provided after July 1, 2010 (no matter when a contract for renovations of a residence was signed), the part performed or provided after July 1, 2010, will be subject to HST.6) HST and RESALE COTTAGE / VACATION PROPERTY PURCHASESHST will NOT be payable on the price if the property sold by the seller and bought by the buyer is personal use property. However, if the seller had been renting out the property more than 50% of the time during the seller's ownership, the price will likely be subject to HST. If the property being sold was part of a rental pool, HST will apply. Consult your tax accountant.7) HST and RESALE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY PURCHASESThere will be NO HST on the price of resale residential purchases."

Questions of legal versus beneficial ownership of property and evidence of intention often come into play. The scary thing is, that this type of planning is often done by the uninformed. When I started writing this blog months ago, my objective was to provide probate planning techniques. However, as I wrote and researched, I realized the legal concepts were extremely complex and beyond my area of expertise. Consequently, this blog became more conceptual in nature than initially planned. After reading this blog, I hope it becomes clear to you that you need to consult a tax or estate lawyer when undertaking any significant probate planning. Probate Fees in Ontario In Ontario, probate fees (technically called the “estate administration tax”) are levied on a deceased taxpayer’s estate at the rate of $250 on the first $50,000 of assets and $15 per $1,000 thereafter. Consequently, if a person were to die with assets of $1,000,000, the estate would have a probate fee liability of $14,500. An estate of $5,000,000 would have a probate fee liability of $74,500."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Subprime mortgage crisis Major dimensions [show]Causes [show]Summit meetings [show]Legislation and spending [show]Company bailouts [show]v t e The U. S. subprime mortgage crisis was a set of events and conditions that led to a financial crisis and subsequent recession that began in 2007. It was characterized by a rise in subprime mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures, and the resulting decline of securities backed by said mortgages. Several major financial institutions collapsed in September 2008, with significant disruption in the flow of credit to businesses and consumers and the onset of a severe global recession. Government housing policies, over-regulation, failed regulation and deregulation have all been claimed as causes of the crisis, along with many others. While the modern financial system evolved, regulation did not keep pace and became mismatched with the risks building in the economy. The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) tasked with investigating the causes of the crisis reported in January 2011 that: \"\"We had a 21st-century financial system with 19th-century safeguards.\"\" [ 1]Increasing home ownership has been the goal of several presidents, including Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, and George W. Bush. [ 2] The FCIC wrote that U. S. government affordable housing policies and the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) were not primary causes of the crisis, as the events were primarily driven by the private sector, with the major investment banks at the core of the crisis not subject to depository banking regulations such as the CRA. In addition, housing bubbles appeared in several European countries at the same time, although U. S. housing policies did not apply there. Further, subprime lending roughly doubled (from below 10% of mortgage originations, to around 20% from 2004-2006), although there were no major changes to long-standing housing laws around that time."

"text": "How much of a negative impact can hard credit inquiries have on your credit score? A reader wrote in, asking a common question, but the impact on his score was rather extreme. We take a look at what could have caused such a huge drop: I have refinanced 3 times in the last 2 years, creating 3 hard credit inquiries at each of the 3 bureaus over 2 years. Each time, though, my credit was excellent at 800 and I received the mortgages and my interest rate dropped from 6.375 to 3.375. The way I did it there was no cash out from me to refinance so it was a positive win for me. HOWEVER, when I called my current lender to check on what their current rates were, told them my credit score as it had just been pulled by my mortgage broker as I was going to refi with another bank and I had a copy of it, my bank did a hard inquiry without my permission and that dropped my credit score 104 points as soon as it hit — it was the only thing that changed on my credit report. It must have been the proverbial tipping point. Bottom line, when I went to dispute the unauthorized hard inquiry the credit score companies said I cannot dispute hard inquiries unless it is identity theft. This doesn’t seem right. And they said it will stay on my record for two years. ["

"text": "\"By Yaron Brook The financial peril of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac --the government-sponsored, government-regulated mortgage giants regarded as instrumental in solving the nation's mortgage market problems--has one benefit. It should help expose the lie that today's financial problems are the result of an insufficiently regulated market. For too long, the refrain has gone, Congress and the administration have been asleep at the wheel when they should have been steering the economy by expanding government control over the housing and financial markets. Economist Paul Krugman slams the administration's \"\"free-market ideology\"\"; he urges Bush to \"\"reverse course now\"\" and \"\"seek expanded regulation. \"\" All this overlooks a crucial fact: There has been no free market in housing or finance. Government has long exercised massive control over the housing and financial markets--including its creation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (which have now amassed $5 trillion in liabilities)--leading to many of the problems being blamed on the free market today. Consider the low lending standards that were a significant component of the mortgage crisis. Lenders made millions of loans to borrowers who, under normal market conditions, weren't able to pay them off. These decisions have cost lenders, especially leading financial institutions, tens of billions of dollars. It is popular to take low lending standards as proof that the free market has failed, that the system that is supposed to reward productive behavior and punish unproductive behavior has failed to do so."

This comes days after Dudley himself on March 30 misrepresented the bill S.2155 as offering relief to \"\"small banks\"\" -- actually, it's banks up to $250 billion in assets, and foreign mega-banks larger than that. Dudley's misleading comment came on the New York public radio show of Brian Lehrer, who erroneously said that the bill has been enacted \"\"by Congress\"\" when it has only passed the Senate. Meanwhile everyone from Mayor Bill de Blasio to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been saying the Fed's process for naming the President of its Reserve Bank is not transparent enough.

When purchasing a new home or condo to live in, or for a family member to live in, the Ontario HST rebate is frequently assigned to the vendor upon closing who consequently lowers the purchase price by the rebate amount. This allows the home builder or condo developer to effectively advertise a lower \"\"sticker price\"\", increasing sales, and enables a buyer to qualify more easily for a mortgage large enough to afford the property. Ontario New Residential Rental Property Rebate (NRRPR)When purchasing a new condo or home to rent out, the Ontario NRRP Rebate can only be applied for by the buyer after closing and never by the vendor. This creates an additional financial burden on anyone buying a brand new rental property as they are forced to pay the full purchase amount including HST upfront and eat the interest costs until he or she is granted the rebate. For this reason, anyone who buys a new home or condo as an investment property should promptly apply for the rebate. NRRP Rebate and HST Rebate Application Service If you recently bought a new house or condo and did not transfer rights to your new home rebate to the builder in exchange for a lower purchase price, our team of professionals can help you obtain a rebate of up to $30,000 today! We have processed over $10 million of new housing rebates for people like you, and we do not charge a single dollar until after a non-taxable new home HST rebate cheque in your name is issued by the Government.

A CRB is a Criminal Records Bureau check, which is carried out by an employer to see if a job applicant has a criminal record/history. This check enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work. A person is usually asked to carry out a CRB check when applying for jobs which involve working with vulnerable people such as young children and the elderly, but it can be other posts which include a high level of responsibility and accountability. The CRB check scans the job applicant�s details against sources such as criminal records and the Police National Computer and looks to uncover any convictions, cautions, reprimands and warnings. The results of the check are shown to both the job applicant and the employer and it is up to the employer to decide whether the job offer is still available to the applicant. The CRB check is only valid for this job only, meaning that another CRB check will be needed if the job applicant goes on to a different job in the future or part time work/similar volunteer work on the side."

Their official line is:“Cannabis is a very harmful, very dangerous drug that can cause huge mental health problems and addiction”along with,“Cannabis has no medicinal benefits in herbal form”. Their reason for classifying cannabis as a “controlled” substance they say, is to protect people from themselves. Controlled Substance In the UK, illegal drugs are classified into three main categories. They can be Class A, B or C, with A attracting the most serious punishments and fines. Each drug is designated as controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and is allocated to a class based on the harm it is considered to cause. Cannabis is a Class B Drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Although it is given the title of a “controlled substance” there is actually very little control that anyone has over it. The commercial market is completely illicit leaving the main share controlled by organised crime and completely unregulated. There is no control over who produces it, who sells it, who it is sold to, or even that the quality of the product is safe to consume."

"text": "[Article] A Socionomic View of War, Stocks and Commodities Alan Hall, Article, Cultural Trends, Financial Markets, Global Market Perspective, Research By Alan Hall, originally published in the October 2008 Global Market Perspective The principle of Occam’s Razor states that the explanation of any phenomenon is more likely to be correct if it makes as few assumptions as possible. Socionomics makes a single assumption: that endogenous social mood ultimately dictates the character of collective social action. This hypothesis reverses the conventional direction of inquiry about what causes war. Instead of asking how war affects the economy, stocks or commodities, the socionomist asks, “How do fluctuations in social mood affect the prices of stocks and commodities, the strength of the economy and the likelihood of war?” This non-conventional approach to causality eliminates conflicting assumptions and rationalizations, and provides the simplest explanation of the available data. Using socionomics’ single assumption, this report examines war’s relationship to the economy, real stock prices and commodity prices. War and the Economy From 1776 to 2008, United States military forces have been deployed hundreds of times, both abroad and domestically. In this report, we will examine only the major wars that involve the United States. For many years after World War II, most economists and historians assumed that war, man’s most destructive activity, was good for the economy. A recent quote from Nobel-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz illustrates the popular change of opinion: “It used to be thought that wars are good for the economy."

Larson a Kosuke Suzuki b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2007.06.023 Get rights and content Abstract Terrestrial climate proxy records repeatedly show spatial heterogeneity because regional climate condition is largely influenced by the relationship between large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns and regional topographic features. The paleosols developed on the top of Columbia River Basalt flows emplaced between 15.3 and 15.8 Ma in the northwestern United States show significant spatial variations in the Mid-Miocene soil-forming processes. The paleosol in the northwestern part of the study area has the least degree of chemical weathering, fine scale and very shallow penetrating depth of root traces with the estimated paleoprecipitation and paleotemperature of about 550 mm and 16 °C, respectively. The paleosols in the southeastern part of the study area indicate more intense chemical weathering with the estimated paleoprecipitation and paleotemperature of approximately 1400 to 1500 mm and 17 °C, respectively. The spatial variations in paleo-pedogenesis were predominantly affected by spatial heterogeneity in the Mid-Miocene regional climate and regional paleotopographic features, taking the other ancient soil-forming factors, including time, parent rock materials, and biological activities, into account. We suggest that intrusions of hot Columbia River Basalt magma into the crust were responsible for the regional surface uplift and the paleoclimate heterogeneity because the major vent systems of the Columbia River Basalt eruptions were located in the area where development of the Mid-Miocene high topography existed within the Blue Mountains. Paleotopography of the Earth's surface can be reconstructed by the paleoprecipitation and paleotemperature estimations from several spatially distributed chrono-stratigraphic paleosols although it is difficult to estimate the magnitude of the paleorelief precisely. Previous article Next article Keywords Paleotopography Paleoclimate Basalt weathering Paleosol Columbia River Basalt province Middle Miocene1. Introduction Reconstructing paleotopography is an important objective in geological sciences in order to understand not only the complex interplay between tectonic forces and erosion at Earth's surface but also spatial heterogeneity in the past terrestrial climate and environment.

Download The relationship of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the governance of the State within adult safeguarding - does it promote better practice? Gary Spencer-Humphrey Introduction 1 The Human Rights Act (HRA) 1998 (“the Act”) entrenches substantial elements of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into UK domestic law. Following a shift of government in 1997, the UK saw the birth of the HRA in 1998, coming into force in October 2000. The Act was described by Jack Straw, the then Lord Chancellor who oversaw the Bill into legislation as: “ [T]he most significant statement of human rights in domestic law since the 1689 Bill of Rights” (Wadham et al 2006:9) The HRA has direct implications for safeguarding adults, in that the Department of Health when introducing the ‘No Secrets’ guidelines in 2000 notes an intention to ‘close a significant gap’ in protection citizens’ human rights and civil liberties from unlawful violations (DH 2000:6). The guidance which direct local authorities in formulating a multi agency policy on protecting adults at risk make a correlation between the Convention rights enshrined in HRA when the it defines ‘abuse’ as: “...a violation of an individual’s human and civil rights by any other person or persons.” ( DH 2000:9) The Act, now directly enforceable in the UK, allows individuals to rely upon the convention freedoms and rights within the HRA using our judiciary system, instead of applying to the European Court of Human Rights (ECt HR). The Act also carries a senior status, being described by Law LJ in Thoburn v Sunderland City Council [2003] QB 151 as a ‘Constitutional statue’, alongside majestic legislation such as the Magna Carta 1215, the 1689 Bill of Rights and the Act of Union 1707. In practice, this means as a constitutional statue, the HRA is immune from the doctrine of implied repeal and the judiciary must ensure the principles of human rights are protected, as far as possible form unlawful state intervention and interference."

Abuse can be defined as any behaviour which knowingly or unwittingly causes harm, endangers life or violates rights. Abuse may be physical, sexual, psychological, financial or material, or neglect. It is possible that Se VA will become aware of actual or potential abuse when carrying out its work, and this Policy sets out Se VA’s commitments to protecting these groups from harm.2. Key aims Se VA believes that adults and children have rights and that these should be respected and safeguarded. Se VA is therefore committed to: Supporting and working in partnership with agencies tasked with protecting children and vulnerable adults from abuse or harm. Having an appropriate staff and volunteer recruitment policy and procedure – ensuring that all staff and volunteers have been Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked and that no-one has contact with our clients or their families before a satisfactory CRB report has been received. There is a separate CRB Check Policy in place."

"text": "Using the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)An introduction to DBS checking for community groups and organisations. Introduction Many community groups and organisations run services for children and adults in which it is important to safeguard participants against abuse and neglect. One way to do this is to check whether prospective volunteers and employees have a criminal record which makes them unsuitable for particular roles within your group. The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) (formerly Criminal Records Bureau (CRB)) provides these checks. DBS is one way you can safeguard children and vulnerable adults, but you should also think about other ways to keep people safe, for example, what you will do if you have concerns about a child or vulnerable adult’s wellbeing, and how you will make sure your staff and volunteers have the skills and knowledge they need to safeguard children and adults. For more help with this, see our list of organisations that provide information and training about safeguarding. This sheet includes: Quick Guide to DBS checking What is DBS checking? Who must have a DBS check? Who is eligible for a DBS check? Using information from DBS checks How to apply for DBS checks Sharing information with the DBSPlease note this is an information sheet for community groups, produced by the Resource Centre (an independent charity)."

The DBS enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, especially that involving children or vulnerable adults, and provides wider access to criminal record information through its disclosure service for England and Wales. The DBS was formed in 2012 by merging the functions of the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. DBS started operating on 1 December 2012. [ 1] It operates from Liverpool [2] and Darlington. Its equivalent agencies are Disclosure Scotland in Scotland and Access Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland. It is a legal requirement in the UK for regulated activity employers to refer safeguarding concerns to the DBS. It is a criminal offence for anyone barred by the DBS to work or apply to work in the sector (children or adults) from which they are barred. [ 3] It is also illegal for an employer to knowingly employ a barred person in the sector from which they are barred. On 17 June 2013, a DBS update service was launched, intended to improve the ease of applying for criminal record checks and create significant savings."

What does it do? And please tell us it has nothing to do with the tartar that dentists talk about... Ok, the good news first: cream of tartar is completely unrelated to teeth. Whew!In fact, it's an acidic by-product from the process of making wine. It's found in the sediment left behind in barrels after the wine has been fermented, and it gets purified into the powdery white substance that we use in baking. One of the best known uses for cream of tartar is for stabilizing egg whites while whipping them. A pinch of cream of tartar added while the whites are being whipped will strengthen the matrix of bubbles and help prevent the egg foam from collapsing too quickly."

Learn how to replace cream of tartar when you're all out. Deb Wise October 20, 2016Just exactly what is cream of tartar that makes it so magical? Technically, it’s an acid—specifically, tartaric acid. It’s a byproduct of wine production, the residue left on the barrels, actually. Most commonly, cream of tartar is used as a leavener, because when it’s combined with baking soda, together they produce carbon dioxide gas. That’s the same gas that’s produced by yeast in bread baking. When it’s added to egg whites, it boosts the strength of the individual air bubbles and slows down their natural tendency to deflate. And when added to simple syrup, it prevents sugar’s natural tendency to re-bond and form crystals.

Basic Cream of Tartar Facts Cream of Tartar is potassium bitartrate, also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, which has a chemical formula of KC 4 H 5 O 6. Cream of tartar is an odorless white crystalline powder. Where Does Cream of Tartar Come From? Cream of tartar or potassium bitartrate crystallizes out of solution when grapes are fermented during winemaking. Crystals of cream of tartar may precipitate out of grape juice after it has been chilled or left to stand or the crystals may be found on the corks of wine bottles where the wine has been stored under cool conditions."

Usually, buttermilk is used in recipes not just because it has a more complex flavor than regular milk, but because it is more acidic than milk. This allows buttermilk to react with ingredients such as baking soda or baking powder to produce carbon dioxide bubbles."

Cream of Tartar (Potassium bitartrate, Potassium hydrogen tartrate) is an acidic salt that is most commonly used for baking and cooking purposes. Cream of tartar is best known for helping stabilize and give more volume to beaten egg whites. It is an ingredient in some brands of baking powder. Cream of Tartar is also used to give things a creamy texture in candy and frosting. Cream of Tartar is a “natural product” obtained from the process of making wine. Grapes are the natural source of tartaric acid. Potassium bitartrate crystallizes in wine casks during the fermentation of grape juice. The crystals are collected and purified to produce the white, odorless, acidic powder used for many household purposes. How to Use Cream of Tartar as Home Remedies1."

"text": "Rust is the oxidization of metal–most often iron and, in the case of Lady Liberty here, copper. Rust stains come from a multitude of sources, and they occur in almost as many places. The main problem is that rust then gets rubbed, dropped, or scraped onto something else creating a stain. Some of the most common places for rust stains to occur are on clothing, carpets, upholstery, concrete, tubs, sinks, showers, and occasionally, stainless steel surfaces. There are a variety of ways to get rid of these rust stains. The first thing you should do is find out which of the five sections below best describes your current rust stain. Within each of the sections, there are multiple ways to get rid of that particular stain. You may end up trying more than one before you actually remove your rust stain (each step will weaken the stain just a bit), but hopefully, you won’t have to try them all.

Baked goods, leavened with baking soda, baking powder and the like are known as chemical leaveners (as opposed to yeast, a natural leavener). Their siblings are baker's ammonia and cream of tartar. They produce leavening gases which are responsible for the volume in most baked food products; \"\"to leaven\"\" means to make light; to raise. They are responsible for expanding the air bubbles that have been mixed, creamed, kneaded or whipped into the batter or dough. These millions of bubbles are trapped in the batter by the gluten structure formed and are enlarged by the leavener, either triggered by moisture and/or heat. Leaveners also contribute to baked goods' taste, coloring and texture. For a successful recipe you want to balance the leavening system to achieve a neutral p H, otherwise your recipe can taste bitter, have an off or dull color, not set properly, fall apart easily, crack, and so on.

"text": "Cold stabilization of wine is a method used to keep tartaric acid crystals from forming after the wine as been bottled. This process is referred to as cold stabilization because it is the act of cooling the wine that causes tartaric acid to form tartrate crystals, also known as wine crystals or wine diamonds. If wines are not cold stabilized there is a chance that these crystals will form when consumers place bottles of wine in the refrigerator or store it for long periods of time. While the crystals are harmless it can be rather unsettling to find what looks like broken glass in your wine if you don’t know what it really is. Tartrate crystals on a cork. Tartaric acid is naturally present in wine making grapes so we can expect all grape wines to have it. However, after fermentation some wines will be supersaturated with tartaric acid, meaning that there is more tartaric acid in solution than what wine can naturally sustain. The excess tartaric acid will solidify and form crystals. This will continue until the acid reaches a concentration that can be sustained. When wines have this excess acid they are considered to be tartrate unstable."

Pour 1 pint of whole milk (3.25% fat) and 1 pint of heavy cream (36-40% fat) into the bowl. Add 1/8 tsp of calcium chloride to help set a firm curd since this is a pasteurized milk (not needed if using a fresh cream).slowly heat the water, raising the milk/cream temperature to 185-190°F. You will notice it starting to foam at about 175°F.1B Add Tartaric Acid Allow the hot milk/cream to sit at this temperature for 5 minutes.

The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad.

This Valentine's Day dessert takes individual heart-shaped meringues and tops them with a layer of strawberry whipped cream and fresh raspberries. For an extra special presentation, I like to scatter a few raspberries around the meringues and then make everything snowy white with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Meringues are simply a mixture of stiffly beaten egg whites, cream of tartar, and sugar. There are two types of meringue; soft and hard and the difference between the two is the amount of sugar added to the egg whites. Soft meringues are what we use as a topping for pies (like Lemon Meringue) and are made with a small amount of sugar. For the meringues featured in this recipe, however, we need a hard meringue which has a larger proportion of sugar to egg whites (1/4 cup (50 grams) of sugar for every large egg white). The wonderful thing about this type of meringue is that it can be piped into so many different sizes and shapes. The important thing is to bake them in a slow oven so you end up with a crisp, crumbly, and delicate meringue. Once baked, hard meringues can be filled with whipped cream, as we have done here, or they are lovely when filled with custard, lemon curd, ice creams or sorbets, and fresh fruit."

[ 2] Though YUM has a command-line interface, several other tools provide graphical user interfaces to YUM functionality. YUM allows automatic updates, package and dependency management, on RPM-based distributions.

Under the hood, YUM depends on RPM, which is a packaging standard for digital distribution of software, which automatically uses hashes and digisigs to verify the authorship and integrity of said software; unlike some app stores, which serve a similar function, neither YUM nor RPM provide built-in support for proprietary restrictions on copying of packages by endusers. YUM is implemented as libraries in the Python programming language, with a small set of programs that provide a command-line interface. [ 5] GUI-based wrappers such as YUM Extender (yumex) also exist.

"text": "Does Creatine Really Work? Does it realy work? Bodybuilders are always looking to maximize their efforts in the gym and several use creatine in their pursuit at perfection. But does it actually work and should you use it? It is one of the few supplements that has stood the test of time and has been sold for roughly the last 20 years. Overview Creatine is found in low doses in high-protein foods and helps skeletal system build new muscle. By introducing larger quantities into the body, it is thought that the body will be able to build more of that muscle and to do it more quickly than it otherwise would. It’s all very scientific sounding, but you must question whether all of this science actually finds its way into the products you buy, or if there is a gap between the research and development done in a laboratory, and what goes in to the actual product on the shelf. For example, are the scientists conducting the tests on creating using the same type and grade that you’ll be ingesting? Probably not."

"text": "\"Nutrition Supplementation Is Creatine Safe? How The King Of Performance Supps Affects Your Organs Kurtis Frank & Sol Orwell August 29, 2017 • 6 min read Creatine is a vitamin for some, a bogeyman for others. Do you have any reason to fear the king of performance supplements? \"\" Part of creatine's appeal is due to its effectiveness. \"\" Creatine is, without a doubt, one of the most popular sports supplements of our time. Given how directly people associate it with improved performance and body composition you could even place it ahead of whey protein powder, which many athletes now seem to treat like a food—or, in some cases, a food group. Part of creatine's appeal is, of course, due to its effectiveness. Most of the people who take it simply see greater strength, power, and muscle growth as a result, and the research backs this up. Creatine also happens to be one of the most studied supplements, both in a sports setting and in how it interacts with various medical conditions. In short, if you're not taking creatine because you're afraid of a certain side effect, that side effect has probably been looked at in a laboratory setting."

"text": "10 Best Creatine Supplements May 20, 2013 by Supplement HQ 8 Comments Forget what you may have heard from skeptics, creatine is essential and one of the most important supplements for bodybuilding. If it wasn’t important, your body wouldn’t naturally produce it. Oh, you didn’t know that? Yep its true. Creatine is simply a combination of 3 amino acids – arginine, glycine, and methionine. This threesome works to convert spent ATP (aka ADP) back into ATP to be used for muscle energy. In essence, creatine helps recycle energy. Quick note on water weight, the #1 fear people have in regards to creatine: Yes, creatine will increase your bodies overall water weight, but not dramatically. The first 1-2 pounds of weight gain can be attributed to water, the subsequent gains are do to increased muscle mass as creatine helps to BUILD MUSCLE. It works by pulling more water into your muscle’s cells, increasing protein synthesis and enabling increased physical output."

"text": "Shutterstock Subscribe Even if you’re not a weight lifter, you’ve undoubtedly heard of creatine, one of the most researched supplements in history. It’s a combination of amino acids produced by the liver, kidney, and pancreas. Creatine is not a steroid—it’s naturally found in muscle and in red meat and fish, though at far lower levels than in the powder form sold on bodybuilding websites and at your local GNC. Advertisement Daily Dose You may unsubscribe at any time. Privacy Policy | About Us How does it work? Creatine reduces fatigue by transporting extra energy into your cells, says Ari Levy, M. D., who works with patients at the Program for Personalized Health and Prevention at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the compound your body uses for energy. For a muscle to contract, it breaks off a phosphate molecule from ATP. As a result, ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate). The problem: You can’t use ADP for energy, and your body only has so much stored ATP."

Some of the more common varieties of creatine you might've come across include creatine serum, micronized creatine, creatine ethyl ester (CEE), kre alkalyn creatine, and tri creatine malate. Aside from pure creatine powders, there is a myriad of creatine supplements such as creatine delivery supplements, and creatine / NO matrices. With so many choices out there, many users get lost when it comes to choosing what type of creatine to use. Not to worry, because we have reviews on many of the top creatine supplements that can help make your buying decision easier. As for this guide, we will discuss most of these different creatine types, and include a comparison guide on the many types of creatine supplements available. Different creatine will have different costs, and generally speaking, creatine monohydrate is the most cost effective. Some of these creatine are time tested with clinical studies backing up its effectiveness, while the effectiveness of others are debatable at best."

Has powdered creatine upset your stomach, given you diarrhea, etc? The most likely reson for this is that stomach acid destroys creatine, it has been estimated that as much as 66% of the creatine you take is never absorbed. So, once creatine hits the acid in your stomach, the amount that is getting to your muscles is a lot less then you think you are getting. The biggest problem with creatine monohydrate has been, to be effective, it must first get into muscle. To do this it must pass through the stomach, enter the bloodstream, and be taken up by the muscle cell. Many have tryed to get around this problem by taking mega-doses of creatine. They took too much, thinking that if a little bit was good then a lot would be better. These high doses do not translate into higher creatine levels in your muscle."

Creatine is a “natural” compound in the sense that you can get it from eating red meat. In fact, even if you’re a vegetarian, you can still synthesize some of your own from other amino acids.

Here are his top 10 supplements -- sensational marketing claims not included.1 Fish Oil Fish oil is known for delivering omega-3s. These are essential fats your body can’t make on its own, so you have to get them from your diet. Even if you eat fish one to two times per week, you won’t be taking in enough omega-3s to meet your body’s needs. By taking a high-quality fish oil supplement, you can reduce triglycerides, lower your risk of heart disease, improve recovery from exercise, protect your brain health and potentially lower your risk of diabetes. Omega-3s may even help with losing body fat. When choosing a supplement, look for brands that provide a minimum of 2 grams of EPA and DHA (two of the three amino acids in omega-3s) daily.

Teens have many reasons for trying to gain muscle, lose fat, and become stronger and in better overall physical condition. Whether you want to just look good for the opposite sex or for personal satisfaction, or you’d like to get big and strong for sport participation, the correct dietary supplement plan can help. That said, you should always keep in mind that regular and proper exercise training is of primary importance, as is appropriate whole food intake. At the same time, you should strive to avoid the peer pressure to get involved in alcohol and recreational drug use, both of which can significantly impair your strength and physique transformation progress. Do teens need dietary supplements? No. You can obtain great results just by working out hard (and smart) and eating a good quality whole food diet. Many people have done this over the years and you can as well. However, with recent advancements in nutrition science, it is very likely that selected dietary supplements will help you achieve the desired results that you seek sooner or allow you to go beyond what might be obtained with exercise and whole food alone."

It really gives me energy, focus, strength, a better pump and just makes me feel like an animal while I’m lifting. While I do admit some of these results are probably due to some placebo effect as well as a lot of caffeine, I always lift better with a pre-workout supplement than without one.

High creatinine indeed indicates kidney problem in many cases, but it does not always mean kidney failure. Does high creatinine level mean kidney failure? Kidney failure is a medical term used to describe the illness condition in which kidneys fail to filter blood and discharge wastes. Creatinine is one of the wastes produced by our body and normal discharged by our kidney. Therefore, creatinine level is always maintain in a stable range (0.5-1.3mg/dl). However, once an individual is diagnosed with chronic kidney failure, his kidneys will fail to discharge excessive creatinine, as a result of which serum creatinine increases. Our kidney is composed of over 222 million nephrons which is mainly composed of renal tubule and glomerular. When only a small part of nephrons are damaged, creatinine does not increase at all, as the other nephrons can help to remove the excessive creatinine out of the body. According to clinical experiments, creatinine level increases when about a half of kidney function is affected."

Saunders Company Creatinine is a metabolic product of creatine and phosphocreatine, which are both found almost exclusively in muscle. Thus, creatinine production is proportional to muscle mass and varies little from day to day. However, production can change over longer periods of time if there are changes in muscle mass. Although diet ordinarily accounts for only a relatively small proportion of overall creatinine excretion, it is another source of variability in serum creatinine levels. Creatine from ingested meat is converted to creatinine and can be the source of up to 30% of total creatinine excretion. Thus, variability in meat intake can also contribute to variability in serum creatinine levels. The conversion of creatine to creatinine can occur with cooking. Since creatinine is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, ingesting cooked meat can lead to a rapid increase in serum creatinine levels."

She recently got a kidney test done to check her creatinine levels, which showed that it was 4.2mg/d L. What should she do to lower high creatinine level? Creatinine is an indicator of how well your kidneys are functioning. It is the byproduct of muscle and is filtered by kidneys normally. Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are approximately 0.6 to 1.2 mg/d L in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/d L in adult females. A person with only one kidney may have a normal level of about 1.8 or 1.9 mg/d L. High creatinine 4.2mg/d L indicates that her kidney has been damaged very severely. If no aggressive treatment is used, dialysis will come very soon. Most of the patients with high creatinine are only concerned about lowering high creatinine. Reducing creatinine in blood actually can reduce strain on kidneys, but it is not the ultimate treatment goal. This is because high creatinine level is the result of kidney impairment."

Glucose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar that is acquired from the diet or reserves in the body (e.g. glycogen in the liver). The cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. Diabetic patients whose disease is poorly controlled can have very high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). A low blood glucose level can result from starvation or incorrect insulin or oral hypoglycaemic (blood sugar lowering) drug administration. Urea The liver produces urea in the urea cycle as a waste product of the digestion of protein. Normal human adult blood should contain between 7 and 25 mg of urea per 100ml of blood. Individual laboratories may have different “usual clinical ranges” and this is because the procedure may vary. The most common cause of an elevated urea level is impaired renal function."

Sunday, 16 March 2014 03:59 PMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet Creatinine blood test is performed to check kidney function. One of the important parameters used to determine the efficacy of kidney function and to detect symptoms of kidney disease, chronic disease, or other conditions is the results of creatinine blood test. The results of creatinine blood test show the creatinine levels in the blood and also the creatinine clearance levels from the urine excreted from the system. The amount of urine excreted and the level of creatinine in the blood and urine determined from the results of creatinine blood test help determine the level of kidney function. One of the primary kidney functions is to clean the blood and remove wastes and impurities from it. As a result, creatinine is removed from the blood through kidney function. Results of creatinine blood test help in determining if this kidney function is being performed properly besides showing symptoms of other kidney disease. An increased blood creatinine level noted from the results of creatinine blood test is one of the symptoms of kidney diseases, kidney malfunction, kidney stones, improper blood flow to the kidney, and other conditions such as muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, heart failure, acromegaly, and blockage in the urinary tract that causes impaired kidney function. In conjunction, such conditions that impair kidney function also cause low creatinine clearance the symptoms of which are shown in the results of creatinine blood test."

"text": "What Causes Low Creatinine Levels?by SARA COPELAND, MD Aug. 14, 2017Creatinine is a waste product from normal muscle metabolism. It is easily filtered out of the blood by well-functioning kidneys and levels typically remain relatively stable in the body and bloodstream over time. Creatinine is often included in routine laboratory testing to evaluate kidney function. There are many reasons why creatinine levels may be low, some as relatively harmless as a low-protein diet and others as serious as advanced liver disease. Low creatinine alone does not generally indicate a serious medical condition and can be caused by multiple factors. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Low Creatinine Related to Muscle Mass When the kidneys are functioning normally, a creatinine level most closely reflects the amount of muscle in the body. Low muscle mass is a leading cause of a low creatinine level. For example, as people age, their creatinine level may decrease as they lose muscle mass -- particularly if they are not exercising regularly. Another cause of low creatinine is severe malnutrition that leads to muscle loss. When the intake or absorption of calories from food is severely reduced, the body needs an alternate energy source to make up for the insufficient calories."

There is a mathematical formula to calculate the glomerular filtration rate. This formula compares an individual's age, sex, race, and size with his/her serum creatinine levels. If your GRF is less than 60 m L/min/1.73 m², then it may be indicative of kidney disease. The lower this number, the worse is the functioning of the kidney. This number is, however, an approximate figure. It may not necessarily be the ideal measure against which to compare the kidney health of people, especially the very old, the very young, the obese, and amputees. You can get an estimation of your GRF by using the formula GRF = 140 minus your age. The GRF for a fit and healthy 40-year-old person, for example, should be approximately 100 m L/min."

"text": "\"Introduction How a string plays comes down to one basic thing — how stiff it is. Stiffness is measured by how much a string stretches when it is quickly impacted, as in a tennis hit. The more it stretches, the softer it is, and the less it stretches, the stiffer it is (measured in units of how many pounds of force it takes to stretch the string one inch). This is known as dynamic stiffness because it is measured in a super quick impact (usually on the order of milliseconds). This is not the same thing as static stiffness, which you see when you simply pull on a string while stringing or hanging a weight on it. Just because a string is soft and stretchy when you pull on it does not mean it is soft when you hit it. Silly Putty is the classic example. If you slowly push on it, it flattens. But if you throw it against the wall, it bounces. It is soft at slow interactions and stiff at fast ones."

In any case, Syeda doesn´t leave a neutral impression on those she meets and her distant and apparently disdainful demeanour is certainly a factor in making her appear enigmatic. Introspective and very introverted, Syeda tends to retreat into her ivory tower if life disappoints her, daydreams often bringing her the comfort that reality is unable to provide. Indeed, she is an inspired, sensitive and emotional soul who isn´t cut out for struggle or hardship and is allergic to stress. Rather possessive and overbearing, Syeda is like the ant in the well-known fable: quite fond of material wealth and reluctant to lend or share her assets. She is something of an �outsider�, perhaps because she is fiercely independent and stands out through her originality (be it an intellectual distinction or in the way she dresses), or because she isolates herself from others throgh her unceremonious and curt attitude. So yes, Syeda is a particularly disconcerting and elusive female: communication can often be challenging for her, so she prefers to remain taciturn, half hoping that others will read her mind, often followed by disappointment when this results in her feeling misunderstood."

"text": "Definition of Connotation The connotation of a word refers to the emotional or cultural association with that word rather than its dictionary definition. The connotation definition is therefore not the explicit meaning of the word, but rather the meaning that the word implies. Connotation comes from the Latin word “connotare,” which means, “to mark in addition. ”In some cases, connotation can also be similar to symbolism as it hinges on culturally-accepted meanings. For example, the connotation of a red rose is love and passion, and if an author were to refer to a red rose while talking about a relationship, the reader would understand that this connotation and symbolism was at play. However, there are many cases of connotation that don’t use symbolism, as shown below in the “Examples of Connotation in Common Speech” section. Difference Between Connotation and Denotation Connotation and denotation are opposite concepts. The denotation of a word is its literal meaning, whereas the connotation is an implicit meaning. As a mnemonic to remember the difference, it can be helpful to note that “denotation” and “dictionary definition” all start with the same letter. Examples of Connotation in Common Speech There are many words that can be understood as synonyms with the same definition, yet their connotations are notable different."

It is dark and quiet, and every time a creature stirs, it cuts through the air, bouncing off the trees and the leaves and the bushes, making me wonder, “What is out there?” Well, today, after talking with John “Trapper” Tice, founder of the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS) and star of Destination America’s popular MOUNTAIN MONSTERS, I know just who to call if I hear or see something that I simply cannot identify!I watched the entire last season of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I think the best part of the show is just the fact that it is pretty clear when you watch that these are real guys with a genuine passion for investigating the “monsters” of the mountains, not just a group concocted to produce yet another reality show. After speaking with Trapper today, there is no doubt in my mind that the team sincerely wants to uncover what is making those mystery sounds in the night in the lonely regions West Virginia. This season, Trapper promises, fans of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS will get an even better dose of monster hunting than they did last season. “I think the cast is more comfortable this season,” he explained, noting the cameras that followed them around for the filming. “ This season is scarier, funnier, more exciting and just more entertaining.” At times, he said of the scariness factor, “It got to be too much for me!”"

"text": "\"Right now: Moon at 7°35' Pisces, Sun at 22°26' Aries Dog horoscopes The 12 Dogs of the Zodiac Aries: Leader of the Pack Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac. The Aries Dog will live by the motto \"\"Me First\"\" and there will be no \"\"please\"\" about it. Life to this canine is an exciting, all-consuming challenge. This is a quick-tempered dog and, in extreme case, downright selfish. Given his or her position in the Zodiac, however, it is only natural that the Aries Dog would want to be leader of the pack. Physically, the Aries Dog is an active, energetic and urgent type of canine with an almost endless capacity for exercise who demands (and needs) long walks several times a day. This dog will enjoy a variety of activities, such as agility classes or playing frisbee. On a visit to the countryside, he or she will soon be picking up a scent or acting as a trailblazer. The Aries Dog is prone to accidents since, by nature, this canine is reckless and daring. Headaches are often a problem for this dog, as is sunstroke during the Summer months."

"text": "Beth Goldowitz, home cook with 50 years experience Answered Mar 28, 2017 · Author has 9.6k answers and 13.1m answer views Mermaids have different mythological underpinnings in different pats of the wold, and Freudians have a lot to say about them as fantasy objects, but I’m going to try to deal with this from the point of view of a naturalist, observing a new species and trying to determine something about it’s lifestyle. We have very little information on mermaid dentition, which is the best way to determine what an animal eats. We don’t have a live mermaid to dissect, so we can’t examine its stomach contents. Perhaps we can make a few assumptions, based on their appearance and place in the oceanic ecosystem. Mermaid’s top half looks human. Their faces and jaws, in most renditions, look much closer to humans than to those of fish or ocean dwelling mammals. When they smile, their teeth look very similar to ours. They have survived in the ocean for hundreds of years, if the tales and stories are true. So they are obviously well adapted to their watery environment. They can manufacture, or find, tools."

By Kelly Roper Small Pets Breeder Source Hedgehogs, affectionately referred to as \"\"hedgies,\"\" are certainly adorable, but many people don't know what they're really like since relatively few people keep them as pets. As with any pet, hedgies have their pros and cons, but they can make good pets for almost anyone who takes the time to learn what to expect from these creatures. Pros of Keeping Hedgehogs as Pets According to Huffard Animal Hospital, hedgehogs have a lot of good points that can make them a wonderful pet for some households. Pros include: Source Hedgies are relatively quiet, but they occasionally make a cute purring noise. If you live in an apartment, you'll won't have to worry about your pet making too much noise. These animals enjoy some daily gentle interaction with their human companions, but they typically prefer to be on their own. Plan to spend about an hour a day with your pet to keep him tame.

"text": "Biography Robert Lawrence Stine (born October 8, 1943 ), better known as R. L. Stine, is an American writer. Born to a Jewish family in Columbus, Ohio, he is the author of dozens of popular horror fiction novella s, most notably the books in the Goosebumps series (though many of the later volumes of Stine’s series were ghostwritten ). The plots of his books usually involve naïve teenagers or pre-teens who fall into situations having to do with the supernatural or the occult. He is often called the Stephen King for young adults. Stine is a 1965 graduate of The Ohio State University. During his years at Ohio State, he was renowned locally as “Jovial Bob” Stine, editor of the campus humor magazine, The Sundial. Under the “Jovial Bob” name, Stine has written a number of humor books for young readers, some of which are “instruction manuals” such as How to be Funny and Don’t Stand in the Soup. In addition to the Goosebumps books, he also created a line of books called Fear Street, aimed at a teen-young adult audience, and the Ghost of Fear Streetseries, aimed at young teens. Stine later published the Mostly Ghostly and Nightmare Room books, also targeted toward a younger audience. Goosebumps remains his most popular series."

"text": "\"Introduction: The Approach to Classical World Civilizations The purpose of this book is to examine the emergence of ancient urban civilizations on three continents, Africa, Europe, and Asia. The author defines these civilizations as ancient world systems that underwent similar patterns of growth and collapse. Tracing development regionally from prehistoric times through the height of the ancient experience, we will identify the Classical traits of each civilization – traits that gave each regional culture its individual character and traits that are inherently recognizable in modern cultures that evolved in the same regions. Our treatment extends from prehistoric times until the end of antiquity, or by our reckoning from 150,000 Before Present (BP) to the sixth century AD. Chronologically we organize this material according to three recognized eras of urban civilization: The Bronze Age 3000-1100 BC, The Classical or Early Iron Age 1000-27 BC, and the Roman Era 27 BC-612 AD. It should be apparent that dates for most of the material covered in this book proceed backward, from BC (Before Christ) to AD (Anno Domini) or from BCE (Before Common Era) to CE (Common Era). For dates ranging in remote prehistory (tens of thousands of years ago) the acronym BP (Before Present) is also used. Our chief premise is that civilizations thriving in distant continents during these eras increasingly came in contact with one another to form an interconnected or global world system. At the height of the second century AD, interconnectivity enabled societies such as the Roman Mediterranean, East Africa, various principalities in India, and the Han dynasty in China to attain their greatest levels of urban expansion, material prosperity, and cultural achievement prior to modern times. Despite the limitations posed by pre-industrial technologies, large urban societies were thriving across a broad expanse of landmass, sea, and ocean at this time."

How much does it cost to live in Cancun? The answer always surprises people, because many of them just don’t realize how cheap you can get by when living in Mexico, much less have access to the exact same amenities and creature comforts you have while living in a so-called “developed” country where the costs are four and five times or beyond. But don’t take my word for it. Read on to find out just exactly how cheap it is to live in Cancun, and how Cris and I manage to keep ourselves living the good life without spending out of our noses. All costs are as of 2016. Cost to Rent in Cancun It all starts with our rental rates. Note that I am talking about fully furnished accommodations in this particular post. Anything that you rent without furniture will be significantly less. But for those of us on the nomad circuit, we don’t want unfurnished; we need something that is fully kitted out and ready for us to show up with our laptops and our clothing."

[ edit]Electronic commerce or e-commerce refers to a wide range of online business activities for products and services. [ 1] It also pertains to “any form of business transaction in which the parties interact electronically rather than by physical exchanges or direct physical contact.” [ 2]E-commerce is usually associated with buying and selling over the Internet, or conducting any transaction involving the transfer of ownership or rights to use goods or services through a computer-mediated network. [ 3] Though popular, this definition is not comprehensive enough to capture recent developments in this new and revolutionary business phenomenon. A more complete to ghara and duara definition is: E-commerce is the use of electronic communications and digital information processing technology in business transactions to create, transform, and redefine relationships for value creation between or among organizations, and between organizations and individuals. [ 4]International Data Corp (IDC) estimates the value of global e-commerce in 2000 at US$350.38 billion. This is projected to climb to as high as US$3.14 trillion by 2004. IDC also predicts an increase in Asia’s percentage share in worldwide e-commerce revenue from 5% in 2000 to 10% in 2004 (See Figure 1)."

In the 21st century now, D. O.s receive training which is equivalent to the training that Doctors of Medicine (M. D.) receive. However, they also learn OMT (osteopathic manipulative technique).

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions Why do we need to increase funding to magnet schools? Magnet schools have not received an increase in state funding since 2010. Each year, the cost of living increases and so do the costs of running schools. Many costs increase naturally each year. These include heating, building maintenance, teachers' salaries and benefits, athletic facilities and uniforms, support services, supplies, books, technology and more. If magnet schools do not receive an increase in funding, they will be forced to cut programs, charge for programs that are currently free of charge, or increase tuition to local school districts. How are magnet schools funded? Connecticut's system for funding magnet schools is very complex, and reimbursement differs depending on a variety of factors including the organization running the school and where the school is located. Because many magnet schools are not run by a traditional district, they do not receive money throught the traditional means of state funding, called the Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant. The state reimburses magnet schools per pupil, but if the school is not run by a traditional district, the operator of a magnet school may charge the district where a student resides a minimal tuition to make up the difference between the state reimbursement and the cost of educating a student."

"text": "\"For other uses, see Concentrate (disambiguation). Look up concentrate in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. A container of vanilla concentrate A concentrate is a form of substance which has had the majority of its base component (in the case of a liquid: the solvent) removed. Typically, this will be the removal of water from a solution or suspension, such as the removal of water from fruit juice. One benefit of producing a concentrate is that of a reduction in weight and volume for transportation, as the concentrate can be reconstituted at the time of usage by the addition of the solvent. Soft drink concentrates [ edit]The process of concentrating orange juice was patented in 1948. [ 1] It was originally developed to provide World War II troops with a reliable source of vitamin C. [2] [3] Today, the majority of retailed orange juice is made from reconstituted orange juice concentrate. Most sodas and soft drinks are produced as highly concentrated syrups and later diluted with carbonated water directly before consumption or bottling. Such concentrated syrups are sometimes retailed to the end-consumer because of their relatively low price and considerable weight savings. Condensed milk is also produced for transport weight savings and resistance to spoilage."

Citrus trees can be fun to grow and very rewarding. Citrus was first introduced to Florida in the 16th century by Spanish explorers. It quickly spread throughout the state and today citrus is one of Florida’s largest industries. South and Central Florida are the best places to plant these trees, but certain cold-hardy cultivars can be be grown in North Florida with the proper care. It is very important to only purchase certified nursery plants from nurseries registered with the state. Learn more about how homeowners play a part in slowing the spread of citrus disease at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services website. When deciding where to plant your trees remember to provide adequate space. Most citrus trees grow between 10-20 feet tall, while grapefruit trees grow a little larger.

The Sierra Leone Telegraph: 21 December 2013There is a strong argument as to whether Sierra Leone honestly needs a new international airport. Those arguing for a new airport, the cost of which is estimated at over $400 million – including the government, say that the existing airport at Lungi is old and has served its useful purpose. ( Photo: Lungi airport). But the views of realists arguing against the construction of a new airport at this time, with the majority of citizens struggling to survive, say that notwithstanding the exorbitant cost of constructing a new airport, Lungi airport is not suffering from the lack of capacity and its full potential is yet to be exploited. What the country needs – they argue, is for the modernization and refurbishment of Lungi to continue and professional management put in place, without political interference. Those arguing against a new airport also say that the country needs private investors with a clear and forward looking vision, who will purchase and run at least three modern and seaworthy ferries across Lungi to Freetown. The road network across Lungi airport to the ferry terminal is regarded as the gateway to the capital Freetown and is in desperate need of redeveloping. And so is the need for private investors to invest in shuttle bus services from the airport to the ferry terminal."

Compensation is estimated somewhere around $18.24 per hour on the lower end up to $32.76 on the higher end. Compensation for this working class is mostly affected by location but also by the career length and the individual firm. Out of the RTS’s that participated in these surveys, around 62%, were women. Generally speaking, most Respiratory Therapist jobs offer work that employees really enjoy and find great satisfaction. A large number reported receiving medical coverage from their employers and others collect dental insurance.

"text": "Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTFs)Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities Approved Code List Some suppliers that perform diagnostic tests, other than clinical laboratory or pathology test, are required to enroll as an Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (IDTF). Not all suppliers that perform these diagnostic tests are required to enroll as an IDTF. Generally, entities can bill for the technical component of the diagnostic tests without an IDTF enrollment if it has the following characteristics: A physician practice that is owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more physicians or by a hospital;A facility that primarily bills for physician services and not for diagnostic tests;A facility that furnishes diagnostic tests primarily to patients whose medical conditions are being treated or managed on an ongoing basis by one or more physicians in the practice;The diagnostic tests are performed and interpreted at the same location where the practice physicians also treat patients for their medical conditions. However, if a substantial portion of the facility’s business involves the performance of diagnostic tests, the diagnostic testing services may be a sufficient separate business to require enrollment as an IDTF. In that case, the physician or physician group practice can continue to be enrolled as a physician or physician group practice but are also required to enroll as an IDTF. The physician or group can bill for professional fees and the diagnostic tests they perform on their patients using their billing number. Therefore, the practice must bill as an IDTF for diagnostic tests furnished to Medicare beneficiaries who are not regular patients of the physician or group practice. Recently, we have received numerous questions regarding Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities and since the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented several changes, the following information is being shared with the provider community as an educational effort. CFR 42 § 410.33 provided for the implementation of the new designation of Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTF) to replace the provider category of Independent Physiological Laboratory (IPL) effective July 1, 1998. The IDTF designation is described as fixed locations, mobile entities, and individual non-physician practitioners."

"text": "Respiratory therapists diagnose, assess, monitor, and treat patients suffering from dysfunctions of the cardiopulmonary system, including any type of disease or disorder that impacts breathing and lung capacity. Respiratory therapy continues to be a vital part of patient care due to rising incidences of chronic lung conditions and diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, COPD, and emphysema. According to the American Lung Association, COPD is the third leading cause of death in America. It is also estimated that nearly 24 million U. S. adults have evidence of impaired lung function. Further, it is estimated that 10.1 million Americans reported a physician diagnosis of chronic bronchitis in 2011, and an estimated 4.7 million Americans have been diagnosed with emphysema at some point in their lives. Becoming a respiratory therapist and serving as a vital part of the allied healthcare team means meeting specific education, certification, and state licensing requirements.

All states that license respiratory therapists (Alaska is currently the only state that does not) require RT license candidates to complete an accredited degree program in respiratory care recognized by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (Co ARC). To date, there are 441 accredited Co ARC programs across the U. S. Nearly all states have at least one campus location that houses a Co ARC-accreditted program. The vast majority of Co ARC-accredited respiratory therapy degree programs result in an associate’s degree (AS, AAS) or a bachelor’s degree (BS), while far fewer result in a master’s degree."

"text": "\"What is a Respiratory Therapist? Respiratory therapists, or RTs, provide care for patients with heart and lung problems. They often treat people who have asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and sleep apnea, but also those experiencing a heart attack or suffering a stroke. They perform diagnostic tests for lung capacity, administer breathing treatments, record a patient's progress and consult with physicians and surgeons on continuing care. \"\" We like to call ourselves the Rodney Dangerfield of health care,\"\" says Timothy Myers, associate executive director of the American Association for Respiratory Care. \"\" Not because we don't get respect, but because people don't know about respiratory therapists. We're often confused with nurses. And people often look down on our work needing only an associate's-level degree for entry, but it's a challenging profession that can actually be rewarding.\"\" Myers is right – even after completing their educational requirements, RTs work to stay steps ahead of evolving health care practices and treat the growing number of Americans struggling with heart and lung problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports there are more than 15 million adults in the U. S. living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the name for conditions that limit air flow and cause breathing trouble."

The team approach to caring for patients includes many professionals performing a variety of specialized functions designed to meet the physical, emotional and psychological needs of the patient. In the course of just one stay, a hospitalized patient may be cared for by an array of non-MD/DO providers.

So who are these providers? This article will provide a brief introduction to the educational background and role of the different professionals a patient might typically encounter in a hospital. This list is by no means inclusive but is meant to be an overview of the major groups of professional practitioners currently found in large, comprehensive hospitals. The Nurse Practitioner Nurse practitioners are licensed registered nurses who have completed advanced academic and supervised clinical training beyond their registered nurse certification.

"text": "Sallie Mae announced today that it will offer a fixed-rate private student loan starting May 21, in addition to the variable-rate loans it has been providing. DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips i Pad App The rate for the Smart Option Student Loan, which will be available to undergraduate and graduate students, will range from 5.75% to 12.875% depending on the borrower's credit history and other criteria. ( The average credit score for Sallie Mae customers in the first quarter of 2012 was 748. ) A cosigner is not required for student borrowers but is recommended to help students without strong credit records qualify for the loan and get a better rate, according to Sallie Mae. College graduates can apply for a cosigner release after making 12 consecutive monthly payments on time. Advertisement Although it's the nation's largest student lender, Sallie Mae isn't the first financial institution to offer a fixed-rate option for borrowers. Banks such as Chase, Citizens Bank, PNC, Sun Trust and Wells Fargo already have been providing private fixed-rate student loans, and their rates are comparable to the rate Sallie Mae is offering on the Smart Option Student Loan. Sallie Mae's variable-rate loans range from 2.25% to 10.125%. The rate on the federal government's Stafford loan is 6.8% for unsubsidized loans and 3.4% for subsidized loans (Congress sets the rates). The 3.4% rate for subsidized loans will jump to 6.8% for money borrowed starting in July unless Congress acts to block the increase."

"text": "\"A government-sponsored enterprise ( GSE) is a type of financial services corporation created by the United States Congress. Their intended function is to enhance the flow of credit to targeted sectors of the economy and to make those segments of the capital market more efficient and transparent, and to reduce the risk to investors and other suppliers of capital. The desired effect of the GSEs is to enhance the availability and reduce the cost of credit to the targeted borrowing sectors primarily by reducing the risk of capital losses to investors: agriculture, home finance and education. The two most well known GSEs are the Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac. [ 1]Congress created the first GSE in 1916 with the creation of the Farm Credit System; it initiated GSEs in the home finance segment of the economy with the creation of the Federal Home Loan Banks in 1932; and it targeted education when it chartered Sallie Mae in 1972 (although Congress allowed Sallie Mae to relinquish its government sponsorship and become a fully private institution via legislation in 1995). The residential mortgage borrowing segment is by far the largest of the borrowing segments in which the GSEs operate. GSEs hold or pool approximately $5 trillion worth of mortgages.

Once he co-signs then his credit score will drop and may not qualify for future years. Is this a one time loan or will you be borrowing for more than one year?

Getting a loan approved with Fannie Mae requires a loan to be submitted to Desktop Underwriter or DU. DU does not have a trade line requirement but does have a credit score requirement. This means that DU will approve a borrower with a credit score even if the borrower does not have any open trade lines. With a credit score of 580 few lenders will allow you to buy a home with only 3.5% down payment. And if you wanted to refinance again few lenders will let you refinance up to 96.5% of the value of your home. Today, most lenders do have trade line requirements and most lenders require a 640 credit score. This means that a lender may require one, two, three or four trade lines to do your loan along with a 640 credit score."

My father (who was unable to cosign) made “too much” for me to qualify for federal loans. So thru school I took out 130,000 in private loans thru Sallie Mae. Some of my loans have 13% interest because Sallie Mae tricked 19 year old me into believing that they would provide payment options based in what I made. Due to the economy crash I was unable to get a job in my field but made very little in retail, about $1,200 a month, they said I had to pay $1,450 or be delinquent so I exhausted my forebearences. Both of my parents are out of work and I moved home to pay their bills to keep the house, but my loans went into default, with interest I owe $200,000 which is insane and I can’t even get married or anything because of them. I want to settle my debt but they don’t deserve that interest from not helping make a real life payment plan for me . Please give me some advice how to get out of my Sallie Mae debt that started at $130,000 and with interest is now at $200,000 I want to pay it back and not live with these forever!

"text": "NEWARK, Del.-- ( BUSINESS WIRE )--Navient will be the name of the new loan management, servicing and asset recovery company to be launched by Sallie Mae. The name selection is another step toward the successful completion of Sallie Mae’s plan to separate later this spring into two, publicly traded entities: a consumer banking business and the newly named loan management, servicing and asset recovery business. Upon completion of the transaction, Navient is expected to service nearly $300 billion in student loans, providing customer support to assist 12 million customers in successfully paying their education loans. The newly named Navient will continue its strong track record of results: its federal loan customers default at a rate 30 percent better than the national average. Navient also will continue to perform asset recovery for government, higher education and business clients, as well as manage a portfolio of FFELP and private loans. John (Jack) F. Remondi, president and CEO of Sallie Mae, announced the name and logo to employees this morning. “Helping our customers navigate the path to financial success is everything we stand for,” said Remondi, who will serve as the new company’s CEO. “ Our new name — Navient — symbolizes the expertise, experience, and dedication we consistently deliver for our clients and customers. ”With more than 6,000 employees and more than $2 billion in revenue, Navient will trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker symbol NAVI. Navient corporate headquarters will be located in the Wilmington, Del., area, with centers in Fishers, Indianapolis, and Muncie, Ind. ; Newark, Del. ; Newton, Mass. ; Reston, Va.; Washington, D. C.; and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The company’s asset recovery subsidiaries Pioneer Credit Recovery and General Revenue Corporation operate in Arcade, Perry and Horseheads, N. Y.; Lake City, Fla.; Mason, Ohio; and Moorestown, N. J. After the separation, the company’s consumer banking business will retain the Sallie Mae name and will continue to trade on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker symbol SLM."

"text": "What’s the Difference Between Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans? Christy Rakoczy Updated on February 28, 2018Advertiser Disclosure When you take out federal student loans to pay for school, the loans are either Direct Subsidized Loans or Direct Unsubsidized Loans. Direct Subsidized Loans are federal student loans available to undergrads that do not accrue interest while the student is in school or when loans are deferred after graduation. The government sets the interest rate on Direct Subsidized Loans and rates are fixed, but the amount students may borrow is limited. Students must complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) to become eligible for Direct Subsidized Loans, and eligibility is based on demonstrated financial need. Direct Unsubsidized Loans are also federal loans and students must complete the FAFSA to be eligible. However, eligibility for Direct Unsubsidized Loans isn’t based on financial need, and students are responsible for interest on Direct Unsubsidized Loans, even while in school or while your loans are in deferment after graduation. If you don’t make interest payments, the unpaid interest is added to your loan balance, making repayment more costly. Understanding the difference between a subsidized loan and unsubsidized loans is essential because it can change how your student loan interest works, the amount you pay, and how you decide to tackle student loan repayment. Subsidized vs. unsubsidized student loans: Understanding the difference Subsidized and unsubsidized loans are both available through the federal government for student borrowers."

A lawsuit filed on Wednesday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and two state attorneys general claims borrowers were wrongly steered in order to drive up debts. Sam Hodgson for The New York Times Navient, the nation’s largest servicer of student loans, has for years misled borrowers and made serious mistakes at nearly every step of the collections process, illegally driving up loan repayment costs for millions of borrowers, according to lawsuits filed on Wednesday by a federal regulator and two state attorneys general. Navient handles $300 billion in private and federal loans for some 12 million people — touching about one in four student loan borrowers. Every customer may have been affected by Navient’s misdeeds, said Lisa Madigan, the attorney general of Illinois, announcing her own lawsuit with the one filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Navient does not make the loans, but it holds lucrative contracts to collect payments each month on behalf of banks, government and other lenders. The damages sought could reach billions of dollars, said Ms. Madigan, who sued Navient and Sallie Mae — which split into the two companies in 2014. Washington State’s attorney general, Bob Ferguson, filed a similar lawsuit against Navient. The lawsuits describe routine mistakes and lapses in oversight that over time added up to systematic failures, eerily similar to the mortgage servicing industry’s bungling of borrower accounts and property foreclosures during the 2008 recession."

"text": "What Is a Streamline Refinance? Colin Robertson March 30, 2012 97 Comments »Mortgage Q&A: “What is a streamline refinance?”While qualifying for a mortgage refinance is generally a lot harder than it has been in the past (now that lenders actually care how your mortgage performs), there are less cumbersome options available. In fact, many lenders offer “streamlined” alternatives to existing borrowers to lower costs and make refinancing more accessible. Plenty of banks out there have their own “streamline refinance” programs that come with looser credit scoring requirements, easier income and asset verification, and limited paperwork. And in some cases, you don’t even need to order a home appraisal. Put simply, a streamline refinance takes a lot of the legwork (and time) out of the process, and may increase your chances of approval. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] However, streamline refinances also come with their own list of requirements, namely that the refinance has a “net tangible benefit.” In other words, it should help the homeowner, not just put money in the pocket of the loan originator. This generally means that the mortgage rate should drop by an amount that will eclipse any related fees, and/or that the loan is converted from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage."

"text": "Important Update: The New FSA ID And How It Impacts Your Student Loans Melanie Lockert Updated on May 20, 2015Advertiser Disclosure The U. S. Department of Education recently made a big change in the way borrowers, parents, and students alike access their information on financial aid websites such as Student Loans.gov and the National Student Loan Data System. In the past, students would use the Federal Student Aid (FSA) PIN, which utilizes a borrower’s Social Security number as well as other personal information, to log in. This information was required every time a borrower would need to sign loan documents, access their student loan info, etc. As you can imagine, providing sensitive information each and every time you log in increases the risk of personal information being stolen. In a move to keep up with best security practices, the U. S. Department of Education is moving away from the Federal Student Aid PIN. In its place? The new FSA ID. What is an FSA ID? The FSA ID is a username and password that gives you the unique benefit of logging into your accounts — while removing all personally identifiable information.

The following table provides scenarios that meet the borrower benefit provision:✓ The borrower benefit provision is met if... The amortization term is extended (for example, from 15 to 30 years) resulting in a reduction in the principal and interest payment. Note : An extension of the amortization term is not considered movement to a more stable product. The mortgage loan type changes from a fixed-rate to an ARM provided there is a reduction in the principal and interest payment. Note : Movement from a fixed-rate mortgage to an ARM is not considered a movement to a more stable mortgage product. Lenders are encouraged to provide fixed-rate mortgages to borrowers whenever possible. Fixed-rate mortgages are required if the LTV ratio exceeds 105%. The principal and interest payment is staying the same or increasing provided the borrower is moving to a shorter term mortgage or more stable mortgage product. Note: DU does not make the determination that the DU Refi Plus transaction will benefit the borrower. The lender must determine this outside of DU."

To date, they have provided loans to more than 30 million undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Because of the size of Sallie Mae, they have the ability to offer competitive interest rates for both variable and fixed interest loans, as well as valuable benefits and incentives. Recently, Sallie Mae selected Navient as the name for their new loan management, servicing and asset recovery company. Navient has now departed from Sallie Mae and is a publicly traded company. It is expected to service more than 300 billion in student loans and many borrowers who took out Sallie Mae loans may now be under management by Navient. Rates Sallie Mae offers annual percentage interest rates between 5.74% and 11.85%, for a fixed rate loan, and between 2.25% and 9.37% for a variable rate loan. As an incentive for prompt and consistent repayment, Sallie Mae also offers a 0.25 % interest rate deduction for those who use an automatic debit payment on their loan.

"text": "\"FHA loans: The mortgage first-time home buyers love [Infographic]FHA home loans FHA Home Loans are mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration that feature lower underwriting standards and rates than conventional loans, along with lower minimum down payments of 3.5%. Additionally, FHA borrowers are required to pay for mortgage insurance (MIP) to protect the lender in the event of a default. FHA loans are flexible and accessible Home buyers today don't often buy homes with 20% down. Low- and no-downpayment mortgages remain popular with first-time buyers and repeat buyers alike; and one of the most popular low-downpayment mortgage program is the FHA loan via the Federal Housing Administration. Nearly 1 in 5 U. S. buyers uses an FHA loan to finance a home purchase. The program's popularity, in part, is because buyers can make downpayments of just 3.5 percent via the FHA. But, there are other reasons why FHA loans are in demand, too. In addition to loose underwriting standards, FHA mortgage rates are lower than comparable conventional rates; and FHA loans can be assumed by a home's subsequent buyer. This is especially valuable in a rising mortgage rate environment.

"text": "Educational Financing Sallie Mae’s Misleading and Dangerous Press Release By Zac Bissonnette @Zac Bissonnette July 01, 2011Read Later Email Print Share Follow @TIMEBusiness Our old friend Sallie Mae is up to her old tricks again: trying to sell students on extremely dangerous variable rate private student loans with this press release, which touts “changes in the law and improvements in the economy that translate into student loans at among the best interest rates in the last five-year period. ”The changes in the law, and resulting lower rates on some subsidized federal loans, happens to be true. But here’s where Sallie Mae jumps the shark into dangerous advice: For college students who need private loans to fill the financial gap, Sallie Mae’s Smart Option Student Loan also offers new, lower variable rates and no disbursement fees. For the upcoming academic year, rates range between 2.25 percent APR and 9.37 percent APR for degree-seeking students, based on today’s LIBOR index. Sallie Mae also offers students in-school payment choices and shorter repayment terms that help lower the amount of interest paid over the life of the loan, as well as a new tuition insurance benefit. A typical freshman who borrows $10,000 and opts to pay interest while in school can save more than $5,200 over the life of the loan compared to a conventional, payment-deferred, private loan. There are a bunch of issues with this paragraph, so let’s tackle them in order:1. The rates start as low as 2.25% because interest rates are extremely low right now. But these are variable rate loans which means that, when interest rates are significantly higher in a few years, borrowers’ monthly payments will skyrocket.

Or if it’s even possible. First things first though – how low is your credit score? Are we talking a 660 credit score or a 500 credit score? Everyone seems to have a different definition of low, so let’s start there. Mortgage lenders rely on FICO scores to make credit decisions. The FICO score range dips as low as 300 and rises as high as 850. The average credit score is somewhere around the high 600s to low 700s at any given time. [ See today's mortgage rates from dozens of lenders, updated daily . ] I say somewhere because there are always different numbers being cited by different sources, and the data is often outdated."

Creosote has been found in at least 33 of the 1,430 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).top What is creosote? Creosote is the name used for a variety of products: wood creosote, coal tar creosote, coal tar, coal tar pitch, and coal tar pitch volatiles. These products are mixtures of many chemicals created by high-temperature treatment of beech and other woods, coal, or from the resin of the creosote bush.

Less control of the burn allowed much of the heat to escape up the stack. Heat reclaimers added to the stove pipe transfer some of the waste heat to room air that is forced through a series of metal tubes. Also called stack robbers, these devices reduce draft and lower the temperature in the upper part of the smokestack. Installed in the flues of efficient airtight stoves, stack robbers condense creosote on stovepipe walls, increasing the chances of dangerous flue fires. Reclaiming Heat Heat reclaimers splice directly into an existing flue. The metal housing of the stack robber directs the hot exhaust of the stove over a stack of metal tubes. Room air forced through the tubes by a fan collects heat from the flue and returns its warmth to the living area. On an older wood stove built without airtight gaskets and designed to run hot, a stack robber reclaims waste heat without causing unusual creosote buildup. The upper part of the flue stays hot enough to control creosote deposits."

But before you barbecue (or BBQ), familiarize yourself with safety tips to avoid accidents and know how to buy the most flavorful meat for your meal. And if you’re new to barbecuing, smoking, or grilling, avoid some common rookie mistakes that can ruin your best efforts. The Difference between BBQ Rubs, Marinades, and Sauces Whether you call it barbecue, BBQ, or just ‘cue, enhance the flavor of your oh-so-tender meats by mixing up a flavor-packed marinade, rub, or sauce. Although each seasoning method is used differently, they all give zing to any meat you grill or barbecue. Seasoning with dry rubs A rub is a dry marinade that you sprinkle or pat onto meat before you cook it. Rubs can contain just about anything, and they usually include some salt and sugar. You leave them on for a few minutes before you cook or as long as overnight. As meat cooks, the heat pulls open its pores, and the flavors of the rub seep right in. Rubs help produce bark, a crisp and flavorful crust that also helps hold in meat’s moisture."

"text": "\"Reader Approved How to Season Firewood Freshly chopped firewood has up to 50% water content and won't burn in your fireplace. First, you must let the firewood season (dry), which allows the moisture to escape––the drier the wood, the cleaner the burn. When the wood gets down below 20% water content, it's ready to burn. Burning unseasoned (green) or even partially seasoned wood in your stove or fireplace will cause creosote build-up in your chimney, which can lead to a chimney fire at the worst, and a lack of fire or a roomful of smoke at best. Every homeowner reliant on wood should know how to season wood. Steps1 Before drying, know the properties of your wood. The duration of seasoning depends on the wood and for deciduous trees, when the tree was felled. The sap of deciduous trees moves to the roots in the winter, so such trees felled in winter have a much lower moisture content to begin with, and so will be seasoned more quickly. In general, pine and other softwoods require around 6 to 12 months to season, while hardwoods such as oak require a year to 2 years. [ 1] However, this rule of thumb has exceptions, so knowing the tree type and its water content is important."

'' We recommend that people have their chimneys inspected at least once a year,'' said Julie Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association, based in Quincy, Mass. ,Ms. Reynolds said that of an average 8,800 home fires each year because of faulty or improperly used fireplaces, about 5,500 are caused by fires in the chimney itself. The culprit in most chimney fires, she said, is usually creosote -- a chemical substance formed from burning wood, which builds up inside the chimney. '' If you have a lot of creosote, it can actually ignite,'' Mr. Reynolds said. '' And having a fire in your chimney is a lot different than having a fire in your fireplace. '' With a chimney fire, she said, dangerous amounts of smoke can back up into the house, creating a potentially deadly hazard for occupants."

( September 2011)A 19th-century example of a wood-burning stove A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating appliance capable of burning wood fuel and wood-derived biomass fuel, such as sawdust bricks. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, often lined by fire brick, and one or more air controls (which can be manually or automatically operated depending upon the stove). The first wood burning stove was patented in Strasbourg in 1557, two centuries before the Industrial Revolution would make iron an inexpensive and common material, so such stoves were high end consumer items and only gradually spread in use. [ 1] [a]The stove is connected by ventilating stove pipe to a suitable flue, which will fill with hot combustion gases once the fuel is ignited. The chimney or flue gases must be hotter than the outside temperature to ensure combustion gases are drawn out of the fire chamber and up the chimney.

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions How often should I have my chimney cleaned? This a tougher question than it sounds. The quick simple answer is: The National Fire Protection Association standard 211 says, \"\"Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.\"\" This is the national safety standard and is the correct way to approach the problem. It takes into account the fact that even if you don't use your chimney much, animals may build nests in the flue or there may be other types of deterioration that could make the chimney unsafe to use. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends that open masonry fireplaces should be cleaned at 1/4\"\" of sooty buildup, and sooner if there is any glaze present in the system. Factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when any appreciable buildup occurs. This is considered to be enough fuel buildup to cause a chimney fire capable of damaging the chimney or spreading to the home. I heat with gas."

Creosote oil consists of hundreds of organic compounds, most of which are detrimental to the environment or health. The use of timber treated with creosote oil is restricted under an amendment to Annex XVII to the REACH Regulation (552/2009) relating to the restrictions on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of certain dangerous substances, mixtures and articles. According to the amendment, creosote-impregnated timber is only intended for professional users, not for private consumption. Creosote-treated wood may only be used in overhead wire structures (electric power line and other poles) in permanent ground contact, railway sleepers or bridges and other corresponding load-bearing exterior structures. The use of creosote-impregnated timber indoors, in contact with food plants or animal feeds and in playgrounds and other outdoor recreational areas where repeated skin contact exposure is possible has been banned since 20 June 1996 (Government decision 1405/1995).

"text": "How Often Do You Need to Clean Your Chimney? Chimney Cleaning / Chimney Inspection Should Be Done Annually by Dave Lamb – [email protected] Why Should I get my Chimney Cleaned? The job of the chimney sweep is to remove soot, blockages and built-up creosote from your chimney liner, firebox, smoke chamber and damper. This cleaning will help create a safer operation of your system during the heating system. It take only a small accumulation of creosote glazing to create the potential for a chimney fire. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that builds up inside your chimney or liner as a result of burning wood. The rate of accumulation can be higher if you practice poor burning practices or have a burning appliance or stove that is not working well. Different types of wood create different amounts of creosote when burned. Pine causes a rapid build-up of creosote and should be avoided as a regular source of wood. Creosote can also reduce the draw of the fireplace and reduce efficiency."

Song 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes'\"\" by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach, performed by The Platters Originally all barbecue and grilling was done with logs of dried hardwood as the sole fuel source. Heat cooked the meat, and smoke from the wood and from dripping juices imparted a distinctive seductive scent that is the essence of barbecue. But it is difficult to control the heat and flavor when cooking with logs, so today, only a few expert pitmasters outfitted with special rigs cook with logs only. Today, most grills and smokers use charcoal or gas to produce the heat, although a few use wood pellets or electricity. They get flavor and aroma from the addition of wood in the form of wood chips, chunks, bisquettes, pellets, logs, or sawdust. When heated, they make smoke. Smoke can also come from meat drippings, which are laden with fat, protein, spices, and even sugars from sauces."

"text": "\"Repair or Replace Your Broken Fireplace Damper There are several things that can go wrong with a fireplace damper. They are subject to long periods of high heat, and this might cause even steel dampers to warp. Heating followed by them cooling might eventually cause cracking. The build-up of creosote on them might cause them not to fit properly and be drafty. A damper not working sufficiently can allow cold air to get into your home and potentially insects and rodents too. In addition, the damper control mechanism or handle might become loose or break. Whether or not you’ll be able to make the repair yourself depends on exactly what the issue is and your skill as a handyman. This repair is included in our full Fall and Winter Maintenance Checklist and should be something you look at before you want to build that fire. Fireplace Damper Repair, Replacement and Cleaning Tips We offer tips in this house guide for cleaning a dirty damper if you want to do the work yourself, so that it will fit properly.

"text": "Creosote build up like this is a major cause of fireplace odors. Creosote, a buildup of the byproducts of combustion, can cause odor in your chimney which can permeate through your entire home. It takes only one use of your fireplace for a small amount of creosote to build up in your flue system, and when conditions are right the smell of the creosote can enter your home. The conditions which I am talking about include any which cause a down draft to occur. If you have negative pressure in your home and your home’s windows and doors are too air tight to permit any air to enter, air can be drawn down the chimney to make up for the lost air, bringing with it the odor of creosote. Having your chimney cleaned can significantly reduce odor issues in your home by physically removing creosote, however, not all creosote can be removed by chimney cleaning equipment. Stage three creosote which has been glazed on can have odors and cannot be removed by most chimney cleaning equipment, instead it must be chemically modified in order to be removed. If your chimney professional tells you that your chimney has glazed creosote, he will often recommend using a creosote modifying chemical such as Anti-Creo-Soot or Cre-Away, which will change the chemical composition of the creosote such that it is Anti-Creo-Soot helps to modify existing creosote such that it is easier for a chimney professional to remove.in a form which can be swept away easily. Using these chemicals is essentially painless and involves very little work on your part. Anti-Creo-Soot is a spray which is non-toxic and environmentally safe."

"text": "\"Arthritis Joint Pain What Is Crepitus? A Crackling Sound and Sensation of the Joints By Carol Eustice | Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated August 08, 2017Share Pin Email Print Nisian Hughes/The Image Bank/Getty Images Crepitus is defined as a crackling or grating feeling or sound under the skin, usually in the joint or around the lungs. In actuality, it is a sound coupled with a sensation. The term \"\"crepitus\"\" is derived from the Latin, meaning \"\"rattling or creaking. \"\" Joint Conditions In soft tissues, crepitus is often due to gas, most often air, that has abnormally penetrated and infiltrated an area. The palpable (i.e., readily seen, heard, or felt) crunching or grating sensation, when present, is generated with movement or motion. Crepitation can also occur when roughened articular (joint) surfaces or extra-articular (other than joint) surfaces are rubbed together via active or passive motion. There may be pain or discomfort associated with crepitus, but that is not always the case—crepitus can occur without pain. In an affected joint, crepitus can be indicative of cartilage wear. For example, when crepitus is detected in the patellofemoral, tibial, or femoral condyles around the knee, degenerative changes typically are evident arthroscopically."

"text": "Joint, tendon, and muscle pain Symptoms and Causesdiagnosis A clinician can often diagnose a joint, tendon, and muscle disorder based on the symptoms and on the results of a physical examination. Laboratory tests, imaging tests, or other diagnostic procedures are sometimes necessary to help the clinician make or confirm a diagnosis. Physical examination: When a person complains of muscle pain, the clinician checks muscles for bulk and texture and for tenderness. Muscles are also checked for twitches and involuntary movements, which may indicate a nerve disease rather than a muscle disease. Clinicians look for wasting away of muscle (atrophy), which can result from damage to the muscle or its nerves or from lack of use, as sometimes occurs with prolonged bed rest. Clinicians also look for muscle enlargement (hypertrophy), which normally occurs with an exercise such as weight lifting. However, when a person is injured, hypertrophy may result from one muscle working harder to compensate for the weakness of another. Clinicians try to establish the muscles (if any) that are weak and how weak they are. The muscles can be tested systematically, usually beginning with the face and neck, then the arms, and finally the legs. Normally, a person should be able to hold the arms extended, with palms up, for one minute without any sagging, turning, or shaking."

"text": "\"Long-Term Effects of a Sprained Ankleby AUBREY BAILEY Aug. 14, 2017Ankle sprains are a common injury, particularly among people who play sports. According to a study published in March 2015 by the \"\"World Journal of Orthopedics,\"\" approximately 2 million ankle sprains occur each year in the United States. This injury can lead to long-term effects, such as ongoing ankle pain, instability, weakness, stiffness and swelling. These side effects are more likely to occur when the initial injury is not treated appropriately. Persistent Pain Persistent pain is the most common long-term effect of a sprained ankle. A September 2013 research review published in the \"\"Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy\"\" indicated that up to one-third of people report pain lasting a year or longer after an ankle sprain. This pain might be related to additional injury that occurs with the ankle sprain, such as damage to tendons that hold muscles to the ankle bones. A sprain might also cause ankle damage that provokes breakdown of the padding between bones in the joint. Eventually the bones can rub against each other, causing arthritic pain. Pain might be managed with heat, ice or antiinflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or aspirin."

There's no denying the joints in our bodies can make a weird and wonderful array of perplexing sounds, says Dr Michael Vagg, a lecturer in medicine at Victoria's Deakin University. But do we need to see someone about those strange snaps, pops or crunches or are noisy joints better ignored?"

A person with knee crepitus can usually feel the crunching or cracking sensation by placing a hand over the knee cap as the knee bends and straightens. Save Crepitus may be caused by arthritis. Learn More: What Is Knee Osteoarthritis? Occasional popping or cracking can be normal and is generally considered harmless. However, if the noise occurs regularly and is painful, it may indicate osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or patellar dysfunction.

It causes pain in the front of your knee and can make it difficult to kneel, squat, and climb and descend stairs Anatomy The patella is a small bone located in front of your knee joint — where the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia) meet. It protects your knee and connects the muscles in the front of your thigh to your tibia. The patella rests in a groove on top of the femur called the trochlear groove. When you bend and straighten your knee, the patella moves back and forth inside this groove. A slippery substance called articular cartilage covers the ends of the femur, trochlear groove, and the underside of the patella. Articular cartilage helps your bones glide smoothly against each other as you move your leg. Left Right Reproduced and adapted from The Body Almanac. American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2003. Description Patellofemoral arthritis occurs when the articular cartilage along the trochlear groove and on the underside of the patella wears down and becomes inflamed."

Simply defined, arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. In a diseased shoulder, inflammation causes pain and stiffness. Although there is no cure for arthritis of the shoulder, there are many treatment options available. Using these, most people with arthritis are able to manage pain and stay active. Anatomy Your shoulder is made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of your upper arm bone fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade. This socket is called the glenoid. A combination of muscles and tendons keeps your arm bone centered in your shoulder socket. These tissues are called the rotator cuff."

"text": "President Trump on Monday in the White House. ( Evan Vucci/Associated Press)Monday morning, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a liberal government watchdog organization, joined with several prominent law professors to file a lawsuit against President Trump alleging that he is in violation of the emoluments clause (a.k.a. the foreign emoluments clause) of the Constitution. The suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, seeks a declaratory judgment on the meaning and application of the clause, a ruling that Trump has violated the clause and an injunction prohibiting further violations. Those joining CREW in the suit include Harvard’s Laurence Tribe, UC Irvine’s Erwin Chemerinsky, and Fordham University’s Zephyr Teachout. The complaint is here. One problem for the litigants is that there is virtually no precedent on the scope and application of the emoluments clause, and scholars disagree on what sorts of arrangements would constitute a violation of the clause, and even whether it applies to the president at all. Historical practice provides some guide, but it’s not dispositive. There have been a handful of memos from the Office of Legal Counsel over the years, but they are not entirely consistent with one another. While we can reject some of the more expansive interpretations of the clause suggested by some commentators, real questions remain about which of the president’s extensive business relationships and interests could give rise to emolument clause violations and under what circumstances.

You can read Danielle's prior articles about life as a cruise ship dancer here and what Canadians should know about cruising here. Thanks Danielle for another great blog: Many cruise ship passengers wonder where the crew lives and what it's like “down below. ”Beneath the beautifully decorated lounges, restaurants, art galleries and shops is another city with its own rules and hierarchical structure. The jobs on a cruise ship are pretty much based on nationality which designates the type of living arrangement that crew member will have. Because the \"\"lowest\"\" jobs on the totem pole are the cleaners, those employees are usually situated on the lowest deck of the ship, in shared cabins with a communal washroom and shower to be shared with those living in that particular corridor. The type of job also determines status in the crew hierarchy. Hierarchy determines crew privileges and the kind of unspoken social rules that they must follow. As a dancer, I was considered a “non-striped” officer. As a result I was allowed to go in the guest areas of the ship, have a drink in a lounge, go to the top deck and sunbathe, and watch other entertainers on nights I wasn’t working."

But it turns out that airplane turbulence isn’t something you need to worry about. Why? Because turbulence DOES NOT represent a threat to your plane. In fact, there are NO examples in recent decades of an airplane crashing thanks to turbulence. So why do people hate it? I think it’s because they don’t know what it is. And in the absence of FACTS, negative thoughts go unchallenged. That’s why I invited retired Delta Airlines captain, Bill Watts, to join me for a chat. Bill’s working on a project with Delta and the US Government’s National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to find better ways to spot and avoid turbulence (P. S.

If we are to measure safety performance we need to recognise that there is no single reliable measure only. But if we don’t have one reliable measure what can we do then? Are traditional KPI’s the best way of measuring safety performance? What kind of measurement makes sense? What indicators can tell us what, and what indicators are useful to apply? This article argues that multiple inputs providing information on a range of H&S activities are required and that we need to find a supplement to the use of lagging and leading indicators. This article therefore introduces the Safety Condition Indicator (SCI) as defined by Green-Jakobsen. The idea behind SCI is to provide shipping companies with predictive indicators and a language to better articulate the present business unit safety performance. This offers a start to a qualified dialogue about how well we are doing and what we can do proactively."

The charge will rise to $12.95 per person, per day for passengers in most cabins, or $13.95 per person, per day for passengers staying in suites, effective September 1, 2016. There is a question posed on the comments section of the article: \"\"does the charge actually go to the staff as a tip? or is it just a fare increase?\"\" The question remain unanswered. Carnival said that passengers can lock in the current gratuity rate by pre-paying before Monday, May9, 2016. The gratuity charge, which crew members tell me does not all go to the crew members but is diverted to pay salaries or is considered revenue (profit) for the cruise line, is only a suggested amount. Carnival says that passengers can adjust it, or remove it entirely, by visiting the Guest Services desk while onboard the cruise ship."

The Jones Act is an Act of Congress, which governs the liability of vessel operators & marine employers for the work-related injury or death of an employee. It is a federal cause of action, meaning that the United States Congress intended for all seamen's injuries throughout the nation to be guided by the same liability standards. Although the Jones Act protects seamen, it is not the same as workers' compensation. It does not require payment regardless of fault. In order for a worker to recover under the Jones Act, a worker must prove some negligence or fault on the part of the vessel's owners, operators, officers, and/or fellow employees or by reason of any defect in the vessel, its gear, tackle, or equipment. The Jones Act provides an injured seaman a remedy against his or her employers for injuries arising from negligent acts of the employer or co-workers during the course of employment on a vessel. This means that the employer must do something unreasonable or fail to perform a reasonable act that would have prevented injury in order for the seaman to win his claim Claims brought under the Jones Act can also raise claims against a vessel's owner that a vessel was unseaworthy."

"text": "\"Your guide Rob Pegoraro Now that two-year contracts are a thing of the past, you have a lot more freedom to get the cell phone plan that works best for your needs. This guide can help you figure out which network offers the best coverage where you need it and pick a plan on that network that meets your needs at the lowest total cost. We crunched numbers, pored over price plans and their fine print, quizzed experts, and wrestled with complex pricing schemes to make the process as painless as possible. Our pick Verizon Wireless The best coverage at a good price It’s still the most reliable network in most parts of the US, and its unadvertised 5 GB single-line plan is a great value for the amount of data most people actually use. Buy from Verizon Although we didn’t start working on this review with the intention of recommending a single best carrier, we’ve found that Verizon Wireless (or its prepaid offshoot) is the best option for most people who want a single line. It’s still the most reliable network in most parts of the United States, according to multiple third-party tests and surveys (including those of PCMag, Open Signal, and Root Metrics ), yet it’s often cheaper than the competition. But Verizon isn’t the best choice for everyone. If you need a lot of data more than you need coverage (especially if that coverage is in places you don’t visit), note that the company’s unlimited-data plans—which now require you to make some trade-offs in streaming-video quality and mobile-hotspot speeds to get the most advertised price—don’t offer the same value as T-Mobile’s. Verizon also falls short of that smaller competitor in phone options and international-roaming plans. We also cover AT&T and Sprint, plus a variety of popular prepaid and resold options for common situations below."

As the owner in my opinion seemed at first glancew to be a good person or human being. Well my thoughts have quickly changed as i have had phones FLASHED by this store before, and quite frankly thought this chap was well suited for this type of business. Yesterday this good ole chap showed his true colors, and this is how i believe it went. I took a water soaked phone to see if this chap could fix and he says no luck so he says i will sell you this VERIZON phone and i say sure how much he says $400.00 i say sure give $350.00 and we agree i will pay him the rest later. So the new VERIZON phone doesn't functionally work all the way some features are missing. So i return said phone only to have my money giving back withj a very unpleasant attitude my old number being frozen and wait for yes that's right he this proprietor reported my phone LOST OR STOLEN so i could not even trade it in."

"text": "\"By Christine Gallup Whistle Out13 November 2017In this review: Pros & Cons Price comparison Coverage Things to Consider Plan options Our take We all like to keep it simple and with Cricket Wireless it's all wysiwyg (what you see is what you get). Big coverage at small prices . Cricket is owned by AT&T and operates on the AT&T network. which means you can get extensive 4G LTE network coverage for bargain basement prices. In other words, Cricket uses all of it's parent's expensive equipment (AT&T's towers and infrastructure) but charges you less to use it. On top of that, Cricket is easy to understand. You can actually go to their website and find all plans and prices in one spot. That alone makes it an appealing carrier for many. Cricket's plans are straight-forward with prices that include taxes and fees, so there are no surprises when it comes time to pay the bill. I know, right?"

"text": "\"Most Popular Cell Phone Companies By Andrew Border Technical Writer, Trainer for Apple Inc. If you are considering changing cell phone service, it's natural to wonder what companies are the most popular. Multiple metrics are used when comparing providers, but the most widely used qualitative measures are the number of active subscribers, number of new subscribers, quality of service, and customer service satisfaction. No company excels in all these areas, but the carriers below have each found their niche. Verizon Wireless At the end of 2016, Verizon boasted a 35% market share and came in as the most popular cellular provider in the United States. That market share grossed Verizon $126 billion in consolidated revenue, but the cash flow did not necessarily translate into happy customers. Verizon was ranked third in customer satisfaction behind AT&T and T-Mobile according to J. D. Power. In addition to the largest market share, and perhaps in spite of the lower customer satisfaction ranking, Verizon also continued to have the largest 4G LTE network coverage area. AT&TAT&T came in just behind Verizon with 32% of the market share in the fourth quarter of 2016. What AT&T lacked in market share, it more than made up for in customer service ratings. They topped the chart of the J. D. Power customer care index rankings."

"text": "\"When it comes to LTE download speeds, there's Verizon and then there's everybody else. The company posted the fastest average download speeds in our testing across six U. S. cities, as well as the fastest average time for downloading an app. That was enough to help Big Red keep its hold on our award for the best network performance, after claiming the crown in our last round of testing. But it wasn't a clean sweep for Verizon. T-Mobile scored the fastest average upload speeds across our six-city tests. In fact, the T-Mobile-owned company Metro PCS also beat out Verizon for average upload speed in what was generally an impressive showing for the entire T-Mobile network. AT&T had a decent showing, finishing as runner-up to Verizon both for average download speed and in our app-download test. And Sprint, along with its Virgin and Boost subsidiaries, improved substantially from the last time we did testing. But the real story here was Verizon, which relied on solid numbers across multiple cities and a standout performance in Chicago to post an average download speed of 36 Mbps, a 41 percent improvement over the next-fastest carrier (AT&T, at 25.6 Mbps). As for prepaid carriers, Metro PCS essentially matched the download and upload speeds of parent company, T-Mobile (and even bested its parent carrier in a couple of tests)."

T-Mobile is a major US carrier. Metro PCS operates on a MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) this is basically the same as Strighttalk, Tracfone and Cricket. They pay access fees to use Voice, text and data services of the Main carrier. As T-Mobile brought and owns Metro PCS, Metro doesn’t pay them access fees. A lot of carriers are dealing with customers migrating to MVNO and losing business. I’m guessing this is the reason T-Mobile brought Metro PCS and use them as a side carrier. It is the same relationship with AT&T and Cricket Wireless. They are owned by the same company and use the same Towers, but a cricket wireless subscriber will pay MUCH LESS than an AT&T subscriber. The difference are as following: If you can’t pay your bill due to work messing up your check, then you can apply for an extension and postpone your bill for another later date."

By Sascha Segan February 11, 2015 5:45PM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy Mobile phone carriers don't want you to leave, especially if they helped pay for your phone. Most of the phones sold in the U. S. (except for Verizon phones) are \"\"locked,\"\" meaning they can't be taken to another carrier without being unlocked. From the carriers' perspective, it's a way to stop customers from leaving before they've paid out their contract or installment plan. Because we're a country fragmented between the GSM and CDMA technologies and several different frequency bands, unlocking a phone doesn't mean you can use it on any other U. S. carrier. But depending on the phone, you may be able to use it on a different U. S. carrier, or with foreign carriers for lower rates than you would pay roaming on your own provider. It also helps to unlock a used phone before you sell it on a site like e Bay. That will raise the price you get, because more people will be able to buy and use your phone. In late 2013, the U. S. wireless carrier association (CTIA) agreed to adopt standards that would allow subscribers to unlock their paid-off phones by February 11, 2015."

[ 3] [9]In April 2003, at the \"\" All Things Digital \"\" executive conference, Jobs expressed his belief that tablet PCs and traditional PDAs were not good choices as high-demand markets for Apple to enter, despite receiving many requests for Apple to create another PDA. He believed that cell phones were going to become important devices for portable information access, and that mobile phones needed to have excellent synchronization software. At that time, instead of focusing on a follow-up to their Newton PDA, Jobs had Apple focus on the i Pod. Jobs also had Apple develop the i Tunes software, which can be used to synchronize content with i Pod devices. i Tunes was released in January 2001. ["

They’re looking toward a future where everyone plays games on the mobile phones in their pockets…and, more importantly, needs somewhere to buy those phones. That means closing around 125 Game Stop stores, and adding new shops in other brands that the company owns: Spring Mobile, Simply Mac, and authorized sellers of Cricket Wireless. What are these chains? Spring Mobile is a mobile products store that sells AT&T phones and plans. Game Stop bought the chain in late 2013, and they have a few hundred stores scattered across the country. Cricket is a mobile carrier that recently tied its fortunes together with AT&T’s no-contract Aio Wireless brand. Game Stop doesn’t own this company, but operates stores that sell Cricket phones and service. Simply Mac, as you might guess from the name, is an authorized reseller of Apple products that runs small stores in markets that lack Apple stores."

Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself.

"text": "\"The Italians An introduction to Italian mentality Italy - Culture Guide Forums Articles Who are the Italians? What are they like? Let's take a candid and prejudiced look at them, tongue firmly in cheek, and hope they forgive my flippancy or that they don't read this. The typical Italian is courteous, proud, undisciplined, tardy, temperamental, independent, gregarious, noble, individualistic, boisterous, jealous, possessive, colourful, passionate, spontaneous, sympathetic, fun-loving, creative, sociable, demonstrative, irritating, charming, aggressive, self-important, generous, cheerful, cultured, polite, unreliable, honourable, outgoing, impetuous, flamboyant, idiosyncratic, quick-tempered, artistic, a gourmet, ungovernable, elegant, irresponsible, hedonistic, lazy and industrious (contradictory), an anarchist, informal, self-opinionated, corrupt, indolent, flexible, patriarchal, frustrating, inventive, sensual, practical, irresistible, impatient, scheming, voluble, friendly, sexist, musical, sensitive, humorous, garrulous, petulant, macho, noisy, happy, fiery, warm-hearted, a suicidal driver, decadent, religious, chauvinistic, an excellent cook, stylish, bureaucratic, dignified, kind, loyal, a fashion victim, extroverted, tolerant, self-possessed, a tax dodger, unabashed, quarrelsome, partisan, a procrastinator, scandal-loving, articulate, a bon viveur, conservative, nocturnal, hospitable, spirited, urbanised, confident, sophisticated, political, handsome and a football fanatic. You may have noticed that the above list contains ‘a few’ contradictions (as does life in Italy), which is hardly surprising as there’s no such thing as a typical Italian. Apart from the differences in character between the inhabitants of different regions such as Campania (Naples), Lazio (Rome), Lombardy (Milan), Sardinia and Sicily, the population also includes a potpourri of foreigners from all corners of the globe. Even in appearance, fewer and fewer Italians match the popular image of short, dark and slim, and the indigenous population includes blondes, brunettes and redheads, tall and short, fat and thin people. History Italy became a unified state only in 1861 and most people have more loyalty to their town, province or region than to Italy as a whole, considering themselves Florentines, Milanese, Neapolitans, Romans or Sicilians first and Italians a distant second, summed up by the word campanilismo – literally ‘loyalty to your bell-tower’. There’s long been a north-south divide (gulf), the more conservative northerners dismissing the less inhibited southerners as lazy, lawless, cunning, corrupt and primitive peasants, while southerners consider northerners to be serious, industrious and money-grabbing foreigners who got rich from exploitation. One of the few things that unites Italians (sometimes in despair, more recently in joy following the World Cup win in 2006) is the national soccer team."

"text": "\"States With No Death Penalty Share Lower Homicide Rates States With No Death Penalty Share Lower Homicide Rates NEW YORK TIMESSeptember 22, 2000States With No Death Penalty Share Lower Homicide Rates By RAYMOND BONNER and FORD FESSENDENThe dozen states that have chosen not to enact the death penalty since the Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that it was constitutionally permissible have not had higher homicide rates than states with the death penalty, government statistics and a new survey by The New York Times show. Indeed, 10 of the 12 states without capital punishment have homicide rates below the national average, Federal Bureau of Investigation data shows, while half the states with the death penalty have homicide rates above the national average. In a state-by- state analysis, The Times found that during the last 20 years, the homicide rate in states with the death penalty has been 48 percent to 101 percent higher than in states without the death penalty. The study by The Times also found that homicide rates had risen and fallen along roughly symmetrical paths in the states with and without the death penalty, suggesting to many experts that the threat of the death penalty rarely deters criminals. \"\" It is difficult to make the case for any deterrent effect from these numbers,\"\" said Steven Messner, a criminologist at the State University of New York at Albany, who reviewed the analysis by The Times. \"\" Whatever the factors are that affect change in homicide rates, they don't seem to operate differently based on the presence or absence of the death penalty in a state. \"\" That is one of the arguments most frequently made against capital punishment in states without the death penalty — that and the assertion that it is difficult to mete out fairly. Opponents also maintain that it is too expensive to prosecute and that life without parole is a more efficient form of punishment. Prosecutors and officials in states that have the death penalty are as passionate about the issue as their counterparts in states that do not have capital punishment. While they recognize that it is difficult to make the case for deterrence, they contend that there are powerful reasons to carry out executions."

"text": "\"From: Peter Kropotkin, Kropotkin's Revolutionary Pamphlets. Roger N. Baldwin, editor. Vanguard Press, Inc. 1927Prisons and Their Moral Influence on Prisoners AFTER the economic problem and after the problem of the State, perhaps the most important of all is that concerning the control of anti-social acts. The meting out of justice was always the principal instrument for creating rights and privilege, since it was based on solid foundations of constituted rights; the problem of what is to be done with those who commit anti-social acts therefore contains within itself the great problem of government and the State. It is time to ask if condemnation to death or to prison is just. Does it attain the dual end it has as its goal--that of preventing the repetition of the anti-social deed, and (as regards prisons) that of reforming the offender? They are grave questions. On their answers depend not only the happiness of thousands of prisoners, not only the fate of miserable women and children, whose husbands and fathers are helpless to aid them from behind their bars, but also the happiness of humanity. Every injustice committed against one individual is, in the end, experienced by humanity as a whole. Having had occasion to become acquainted with two prisons in France and several in Russia, having been led by various circumstances in my life to return to the study of penal questions, I think it is my duty to state openly what prisons are,--to relate my observations and my beliefs as a result of these observations."

Though what sexual activities constitute adultery varies, as well as the social, religious, and legal consequences, the concept exists in many cultures and is similar in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. [ 1] A single act of sexual intercourse is generally sufficient to constitute adultery, and a more long-term sexual relationship is sometimes referred to as an affair. Historically, many cultures have considered adultery to be a very serious crime. Adultery often incurred severe punishment, usually for the woman and sometimes for the man, with penalties including capital punishment, mutilation, or torture. [ 2] Such punishments have gradually fallen into disfavor, especially in Western countries from the 19th century. In most Western countries, adultery itself is no longer a criminal offense, but may still have legal consequences, particularly in divorce cases."

"text": "\"Manslaughter is an unlawful killing that doesn’t involve malice aforethought—intent to seriously harm or kill, or extreme, reckless disregard for life. The absence of malice aforethought means that manslaughter involves less moral blame than either first or second degree murder. ( But plenty argue that some instances of felony murder, a form of first degree murder, involve less blameworthiness than some instances of manslaughter.) Thus, while manslaughter is a serious crime, the punishment for it is generally less than that for murder. Related Products MORECriminal Law: A Desk Reference Legal Research The Criminal Law Handbook The two main variations of manslaughter are usually referred to as voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. Voluntary Manslaughter This is often called a \"\"heat of passion\"\" crime. Voluntary manslaughter occurs when a person:is strongly provoked (under circumstances that could similarly provoke a reasonable person) andkills in the heat of passion aroused by that provocation. For “heat of passion” to exist, the person must not have had sufficient time to “cool off” from the provocation. That the killing isn’t considered first or second degree murder is a concession to human weakness. Killers who act in the heat of passion may kill intentionally, but the emotional context is a mitigating factor that reduces their moral blameworthiness."

"text": "Article Summary Edit In his article “Thucydides on Human Nature,” C. D. C Reeve interprets Thucydides’ view on human nature not non-Thucydidean as they appear to be/ are claimed to be by other scholars, but instead dependent on the mercurial relationship between judgment and emotions. The imbalance between these two important terms leads to the disruption of peace and prosperity throughout The Peloponnesian Wars by causing men to behave negatively. Words such as ambition, envy, courage, and passion only have negative connotations under specific circumstances, and Thucydides stresses this point along with the connections these emotions have with an individual’s reasoning, displaying a more profound understanding of the complexity of human nature. Article Method Edit Reeve supports his claim by closely analyzing his selected passages by word choice expressed by Thucydides and clarifying the appropriate usage of that word with the context of the passage. He does this by first giving a general translation of the passage and following up by incorporating the Greek words for certain terms into a much more complex and profound translation. He follows this translation with an explanation for the rationale behind the words. For example, when discussing a section about the civil war in Corcyra that outlines several reasons why the civil war broke out (3.84), Reeve gives the general translation of the section, replaces the words “passion for more than fair share” with its Greek equivalent pleonexia, rewrites the general translation with new additions, and discusses the hypocrisy that “the distribution [of wealth and power] was unfair or unjust by the very standards of equality, fairness, and justice that recommend themselves to good sense and to piety” (Reeve 438). He then continues and relates the motives behind the various emotions to each other and how they collectively overpower one’s judgment completely. For pleonexia, Reeve writes, “For what is an enemy to any superior is revenged sparked by the arrogant exercise of power, what is stronger than justice is pleonexia or zeal for equality coupled with passion sparked by unjust of wealth and power…So our nature as a whole is not characterized as bad, just certain things in it, and then only under certain circumstances” (Reeve 438-439). By laying blame of envy on this urge and stating how such an urge ultimately leads to revenge to display pleonexia’s dominance over justice, Reeve makes a case for his claim."

"text": "Common Interpretation The Eighth Amendment The Eighth Amendment By Bryan A. Stevenson and John F. Stinneford The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” This amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing unduly harsh penalties on criminal defendants, either as the price for obtaining pretrial release or as punishment for crime after conviction. The Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause is the most important and controversial part of the Eighth Amendment. In some ways, the Clause is shrouded in mystery. What does it mean for a punishment to be “cruel and unusual”? How do we measure a punishment’s cruelty? And if a punishment is cruel, why should we care whether it is “unusual”? We do know some things about the history of the phrase “cruel and unusual punishments.” In 1689 – a full century before the ratification of the United States Constitution – England adopted a Bill of Rights that prohibited “cruell and unusuall punishments.” In 1776, George Mason included a prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments in the Declaration of Rights he drafted for the Commonwealth of Virginia."

Montag guiltily portrays his actions as an involuntary bodily reflex. He describes his crime as automatic and claims it involves no thought on his part. He blames his hands for several other crimes in the course of the book, and they become a powerful symbol for Montag’s instincts of rebellion, will, and moral imperative. Montag’s thoughtless actions here are akin to Mildred ’s unconscious overdose, as they are the result of some hidden sense of dissatisfaction within him that he does not consciously acknowledge. Montag regards his hands as infected from stealing the book and describes how the “poison works its way into the rest of his body.”"

Many homicides, such as murder and manslaughter, violate criminal laws. Others, such as a killing committed in justified self-defense, are not criminal. Illegal killings range from manslaughter to murder, with multiple degrees of each representing the gravity of the crime. Murder First degree murder is the most serious criminal homicide. Typically, first degree murder is both intentional and premeditated. Premeditated can mean anything from a long time plan to kill the victim, to a shorter term plan. The intent of the accused murderer does not need to be focused on the actual victim. If someone planned on killing one victim, but by accident kills someone else, the murder is still intentional and premeditated meaning a first degree murder charge."

"text": "\"Opinions Legalizing marijuana can reduce crime, increase revenue for state By Madeline Wolff - Nov 9, 2009Marijuana legalization is an issue that has been present in California politics for years. Just now, however, it is coming to a head, as the possibility of its full legalization looms before us in 2010. Until recently, those politicians who outwardly supported marijuana legalization have been ignored or even discounted as “potheads” who then faded into obscurity. Three hundred thousand signatures have been gathered in the last month alone, however, which means that the legislation could easily be on the November 2010 ballot for all of California’s voters to decide on. Though still illegal federally, medical marijuana has been legal in California since 1996, and President Obama recently declared federal raids on legal state cannabis dispensaries unlawful. On the heels of this declaration and the increasing acceptance of marijuana use by the general California public, there is now developing legislation that could fully legalize cannabis in California. Some reports state that this legalization could mean selling it at liquor stores to those 21 and over, but there is nothing definite as of yet. When used medically, marijuana boasts a number of significant benefits, such as giving cancer patients a renewed appetite, curing insomnia, reducing anxiety, and relieving chronic pain. Having recognized these benefits, 56 percent of those who voted on Proposition 215 (which eventually legalized medical marijuana) opted to decriminalize the drug. Following the limited legalization of cannabis, it cannot be denied that California’s relatively lax stand on the drug was taken advantage of."

Some myths are just completely and blatantly untrue. What often happens is that beliefs surrounding circumstances, situations, and characteristics of individuals connected to rape are applied to all cases and situations uncritically. Myths exist for many historic reasons which include inherited structural conditions, gender role expectations, and the fundamental exercise of power in a patriarchal society. The best way to approach rape myths are to confront them honestly and frankly. Don't deny their existence and don't dismiss one ungrounded statement with another. Confronting rape myths sociologically means looking at the data and reevaluating knowledge in the face of social facts. What follows are a list of rape myths and the facts that bring those rape conceptions into question. They are not always conclusive but provide the ground work for continued research.

Provocation may be a defense by excuse or exculpation alleging a sudden or temporary loss of control (a permanent loss of control is in the realm of insanity) as a response to another's provocative conduct sufficient to justify an acquittal, a mitigated sentence or a conviction for a lesser charge. Provocation can be a relevant factor in a court's assessment of a defendant's mens rea, intention, or state of mind, at the time of an act of which the defendant is accused."

"text": "The Story of Hippolytus and Phaedra As Recounted By Euripides, Seneca and Racine Posted by jennine lanouette on Monday, December 24th, 2012Those who advocate the spurious theory that literature consists of a finite number of dramatic situations, which each generation of writers can only repackage, may be tempted to utilize the story of Phaedra’s love for her stepson Hippolytus as a defining case in point. With origins in both the Greek myths and the biblical story of Potiphar and his wife, the fate of Phaedra and Hippolytus has been recounted by numerous playwrights throughout history. However, a close look at three such plays reveals that, while the characters and basic plot elements may be the same or similar, the stories told and themes explored in each case are of quite a different nature. Indeed, much can be understood about the evolution of drama through a comparative study of Euripides’ Hippolytus, Seneca’s Phaedra and Racine’s Phedre. The original myth, on which all subsequent works are based, tells the story of Hippolytus, the bastard son of Theseus, king of Athens, and his devotion to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, which angered Aphrodite, goddess of love, due to his resulting neglect of her. As punishment, Aphrodite caused Hippolytus’ stepmother Phaedra to fall in love with him. When Phaedra’s unsatisfied desire caused her to begin wasting away, her nurse figured out the truth and advised her to send Hippolytus a letter. Phaedra wrote to him, confessing her love and suggesting he pay homage to Aphrodite with her. Hippolytus was horrified at the letter and marched into her chamber in anger. Being rejected by him, Phaedra created a scene of molestation and called for help."

In nature, crimson is most often a ruby red color that occurs in birds, flowers, and insects. The bright red color of love known as crimson originally was a dye produced from a scale insect. Using Crimson Color in Design Files Crimson is a bright color that stands out prominently. Use it sparingly to draw attention to a phrase or element or as a bright background to indicate danger, anger, or caution. Avoid using it in conjunction with black, as the two colors provide a low color contrast. White provides a much better contrast with crimson.

Symbolic signs and superstitions are widely recognized in every culture. The popular conception is that both symbolic signs and superstitions come from a supernatural source. It is at this junction however that they begin to part ways. While they may both relate to supernatural connections, superstitions differ in that they are endowed with certain predictive powers while symbolic signs are perceived as unique and wholly individual messages. For example, superstition declares that should a black bird fly into ones home it predicts an impending death. The prediction is absolute with no room for interpretation or individualization. Superstitions make no distinction about the circumstances of the event or the individual experiencing it. A symbolic sign on the other hand, is wholly unique to each individual and subject to personal examination and interpretation to gain a deeper understanding of its meaning. While it is hard to deny that any of us don’t have a touch of superstition buried somewhere in our psyche, there are times when superstition endowed with such powers can be an unhealthy perception."

Adequate seating, television coverage and careful route planning might be the making of the day for others, but for the Queen knowing her coronation robes would be comfortable and safely fastened throughout the long arduous day was of vital importance. The new Queen had listened respectfully to her grandmother's advice about designs for a Coronation gown, but she had firm ideas of her own, especially of what it should not be. Her specifications to Norman Hartnell her chosen British designer were that the coronation dress should be on the lines of her wedding gown and be made of white satin. It was to be both regal and religious without exaggeration of shape. With thoroughness, Hartnell researched the history and tradition of Coronation dresses, visiting the London Museum and the London Library and emerged with factual information. The coronation gown had to stand out against a competitive background of colour and the brilliance of precious gems. Such a dress would also be destined to be historic and Hartnell wanted it to be his masterpiece that would appear as a great piece of costume history. His mind teamed with all the possibilities from heraldic and floral emblems to thoughts of heavenly bodies and centuries old religious vestments."

Interpreting Dreams Colors To dream in color or a color to stand out in a dream symbolizes different characters of the Lord. Many of the colors you can see in heaven and their symbolism are the same. Colors can represent different moods of God or His outlook on your position. A few colors could mean a visitation from the Lord. A-YAAmber – When dreaming of the color amber the bible describes this color as being fire, which represents God’s glory, the brilliance of His presence and His judgments. This dream may also be indicating that the dreamer or someone in the dream is receiving a visitation from the Lord. Positive: This color in a dream could represent the fire of God revealing Himself in a more intimate and personal way. The bible also illustrates amber as being the color of fire which consumes or devours but will not burn. ( For our God is a consuming fire.) ("

But it wasn't until the 1930s that the big boom of superhero popularity took off. That was a special time for the superhero genre, marking the debut of #Superman and #Batman. But what if I told you there was a superhero that debuted even before Superman? That's right, his name is... Doctor Occult Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the same men who gave us Superman, Doctor Occult debuted in 1935s New Fun Comics, Issue 6. Doctor Occult was not only one of the first superheroes, but the first published by #DC Comics. He's a private investigator who is a practitioner of magic (similar to #Doctor Strange, but not to the same extent), and has the power to astral project. He's also possessed of the power of hypnosis, illusion casting and telekinesis. Even though he's not the most well-known of superheroes, Doctor Occult is still deserving of major credit. Seeing as he was created by the same guys that brought you the Man of Steel, it's safe to assume that without Doctor Occult, we may not have had Superman and therefore no Batman or DC Comics as we know it today."

The shape was believed to be chosen because the cane, if pointed upward, resembles the letter \"\"J\"\" for Jesus. The history of the cane also ties in with the African Rights of Passage, and was a symbol of manhood that had to be carried by initiates wishing to become adult members of their respective tribe.

Many states declare that a more serious or \"\" aggravated \"\" assault/battery occurs when one: 1) tries to or does cause severe injury to another, or 2) causes injury through use of a deadly weapon. Assaults and batteries can also be pursued via civil (as opposed to criminal) laws. For information on personal injury (\"\"tort\"\") cases involving assault and battery, visit the Assault and Battery section of Find Law's Accident & Injury Center. Assault and battery often bring up images of the typical fight or brawl, and some states combine the two offenses. However, the terms are actually two separate legal concepts with distinct elements. In short, an assault is an attempt or threat to injure another person, while a battery would be actually contacting another person in a harmful or offensive manner. Below is a more in-depth look at both offenses and their elements, which helps explain how these two offenses are so closely tied together. Assault: Definition The definitions for assault vary from state-to-state, but assault is often defined as an attempt to injure to someone else, and in some circumstances can include threats or threatening behavior against others. One common definition would be an intentional attempt, using violence or force, to injure or harm another person."

Nevertheless, accidents happen. When they do, workers compensation insurance provides coverage. Workers compensation insurance serves two purposes: It assures that injured workers get medical care and compensation for a portion of the income they lose while they are unable to return to work and it usually protects employers from lawsuits by workers injured while working. Workers receive benefits regardless of who was at fault in the accident. If a worker is killed while working, workers comp (as it is often abbreviated) provides death benefits for the worker’s dependents. Each State Is Different Workers compensation systems are established by statutes in each state. State laws and court decisions control the program in that state and no two states have exactly the same laws and regulations. States determine such features as the amount of benefits to which an employee is entitled, what impairments and injuries are covered, how impairments are to be evaluated and how medical care is to be delivered."

It’s for patients with severe and life-threatening illnesses or injuries who need constant monitoring and support to preserve basic life functions. There’s a higher staff to patient ratio than in other hospital units and the unit has access to advanced medical equipment and other resources for critically ill or injured patients. Further specialization is indicated for units labeled MICU, CCU, and others: MICU: Medical Intensive Care Unit. Depending on the hospital, it may be very similar to an ICU or it might focus on a narrower range of medical issues. MICU can also means Mobile Intensive Care Unit, a specialized ambulance or helicopter staffed by paramedics. Sometimes a severely ill or injured patient needs to be transferred to another hospital to get appropriate care and must be appropriately supported during the journey. CCU: Coronary Care Unit.

Each finger, with the exception of the thumb, has three joints allowing each finger to bend and at each joint you will have many different tendons and ligaments that allow your finger to articulate. When you move and bend these fingers, the small muscles work with the different ligaments and tendons and give you tremendous grip strength. So when you jam your finger, a lot of things can go wrong. The first is that you could have a sprain or a strain. Here is the difference, a sprained finger means that you have some ligament damage that may prevent your finger from moving correctly. Ligaments connect bone to bone, and keep a joint stabilized. At the very least, it allows your joint to stay in a secure position, and when you have ligament issues from a jammed finger that is a sprain, then what happens is you can have cartilage damage from the particular finger, or that particular joint. When it comes to tendon issues, the tendons serve a different function."

"text": "Cupping and the Injured Athlete - Does It Work? Brandi Ross Coach Mobility & Recovery Share Tweet Throughout history, there have been many eastern and western forms of medicine that have come and gone. Some have survived the test of time. Others have been considered to be more “trendy” while other techniques are meant to repeat themselves over time. Today, myofascial decompression, better known as cupping, has made a return to western society, especially in the physical therapy and athletic training room settings. I was first exposed to this over a year ago. At the time, I didn’t fully understand it nor did I see it benefiting any athletes. This past summer a colleague took a course and was actually shown how to properly set up and use myofascial decompression (MFD). I was rather impressed with the results. So, naturally, I took the course in December."

"text": "\"WHAT YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU DIE!1. What we have in common in all religions and empiricism to-day is that the afterlife exists. But not one religion tells us what actually happens when we physically die - empirical studies do. In the West the Christian view of the afterlife dominated for nearly two thousand years. The Church teaches that the afterlife exists and that your conduct on earth will determine what kind of existence you will experience once you cross over; you will go to 'heaven' if you 'behaved well' or to hell if you consistently misbehaved. The Catholics add 'purgatory'- a stage of continuous purification before one gets to 'heaven.' Empiricism tells us there is an afterlife and explains in detail what happens when we cross over. This means that empirical evidence is what we should study so that we get to know specifically what is going to happen to us when we cross over.2. What has been empirically confirmed by way of mediumship is that we have a duplicate of our physical body. On crossing over, the physical body dies, and like an old coat can be burnt."

Stable is when a patients vital signs...blood pressure, pulse, respiration's and temperature are within their normal range and no immediate changes are expected.

The banning of pancake races,hanging baskets, and seasonal decorations and lights on grounds of ‘elf n safety,’ which in reality may be down to concerns over being sued or even plain laziness, are doing enormous damage to the really important – literally life saving work – which lies at the heart of the real health and safety agenda.

"text": "10Software as a Service (Saa S), the best-known branch of cloud computing, is a delivery model in which applications are hosted and managed in a service provider's datacenter, paid for on a subscription basis and accessed via a browser over an internet connection. As a mainstream business option it's often seen as dating from the launch, in 2000, of the hosted Salesforce.com customer relationship management (CRM) service, which has become the 'poster-child' for Saa S. However, its roots lie in earlier developments in virtualisation, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and utility/grid computing. As a term, 'Software as a Service' has been in common usage for nearly a decade, with its cloud-stack companions Platform as a Service (Paa S) and Infrastructure as a Service (Iaa S) gaining currency more recently. ( Paa S refers to the on-demand delivery of tools and services that allow Saa S applications to be coded and deployed, while Iaa S covers the on-demand delivery of virtualised servers, storage, networking and operating systems): Infrastructure hosted in a third-party service provider's datacenter is called 'public cloud' infrastructure, while similar technology hosted within an enterprise's network is called 'private cloud' infrastructure. So-called 'hybrid clouds' mix the two approaches, with certain workloads or business processes remaining in-house and others -- perhaps less mission-critical -- being outsourced to public cloud services. Public cloud services can also be brought into play on a temporary basis, to cope with peaks in demand that would otherwise overwhelm a business's private cloud infrastructure. Before Saa S, you generally rented software via an 'Application Service Provider' or ASP: The key differences are code ownership and tenancy. ASPs generally hosted multiple instances of third-party client-server applications, whereas Saa S providers tend to develop their own applications and operate a true 'multi-tenant' model: subscribers access the same code base, with their data and any customisations kept separate.

The event organizer asked me to speak on ‘The Risks and Rewards of Saa S CRM’. For some background, Software as a Service (Saa S) and cloud computing have not yet penetrated the Middle East software market as they have in the U. S., Western Europe and Southeast Asia. This early infancy market perspective found in the Middle East offers a refreshing opportunity to speak about the tangible and measurable business benefits of Saa S, and stay clear of the more esoteric discussions such as multi-tenant architectures, IT delivery platforms and other arguments levied by the Saa S purists. Top 5 Risks of Saa S CRMDowntime and SLAs. When Saa S Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems were initially débuted at the turn of the century they were met with reservations about uptime and security. On-demand CRM vendors responded to system uptime and uninterrupted availability by showcasing their data centers, and more specifically, their hardware and telecom redundancy, high availability (HA) and immediate fail-over capabilities. System downtime renders a business software application worthless — and can stop a business in its tracks. Sure, short and infrequent CRM system outages aren’t as critical as accounting software or ERP software downtime; nonetheless, when sales people aren’t selling it has a negative cascading effect throughout the business. Mitigation strategy: To avert Saa S CRM downtime, pursue a three step verification process."

It allows both divisions to effectively communicate with each other with no downtime waiting for a call or email back. For onboarding, payroll and human resource related questions it was very easy to navigate and see where someone left off if an issue needed to be escalated. Very easy tool for tracking, potential and current clients as well as candidates. Pros and Cons Management Reports Recruitment Reports Sales Reports Forecasting Reports If there is a chain of commands that need signatures, it would be nice to be able to push the document through instead of a hard copy. Sometimes the drop-down functions don't match exact scenarios, it would be nice to be able to edit OTHER with an explanation. It would be nice to connect the Recruitment side, to match when a candidate is added to the database by another recruiter but is actually a skill match for a requirement that you have been assigned to as the primary recruiter. Being able to assign who is the Primary Recruiter, especially if working on a team of Recruiters Likelihood to Recommend I believe Bullhorn would be a strong benefit to add to any organization."

Crocodiles have a pair of lungs, just as we do. There are two things which make them unusual, though: Being a reptile, they do not have a diaphragm as we mammals do. However, they make up for this by having a pair of muscles (not coincidentally called the diaphragmaticus muscles) which attach to the liver and pull it back to draw air into the lungs, like a piston pump. Most reptiles do not have a hard palate on the top of their mouth as we mammals do, but crocodiles (and alligators) have independently evolved a hard palate."

Find out more about the unusual origin stories behind 10 everyday phrases. Turn a blind eye The phrase “turn a blind eye”—often used to refer to a willful refusal to acknowledge a particular reality—dates back to a legendary chapter in the career of the British naval hero Horatio Nelson. During 1801’s Battle of Copenhagen, Nelson’s ships were pitted against a large Danish-Norwegian fleet. When his more conservative superior officer flagged for him to withdraw, the one-eyed Nelson supposedly brought his telescope to his bad eye and blithely proclaimed, “I really do not see the signal.” He went on to score a decisive victory. Some historians have since dismissed Nelson’s famous quip as merely a battlefield myth, but the phrase “turn a blind eye” persists to this day. White elephant White elephants were once considered highly sacred creatures in Thailand—the animal even graced the national flag until 1917—but they were also wielded as a subtle form of punishment."

BHITARKANIKA, India -- The Bhitarkanika Park on the Orissa coast has achieved the rare distinction of housing the world's largest salt water crocodile measuring about 23 feet. What has delighted the wildlife lovers and wildlife officials in the state is that the largest crocodile of Bhitarkanika has again found a place in the 2006 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Orissa chief wildlife warden S C Mohanty confirmed that the creeks inside the park are home to some of the world`s largest salt water crocodiles. During 1994 also, the Guinness book of world record had maintained that Bhitarkanika has the largest living crocodile in the world. The latest census carried out by the wildlife division indicated that the Bhitarkanika sanctuary has a total strength of 1462 crocodiles which included 203 adults. According to crocodile experts and senior research officer in the wildlife division Sudhakar Kar, nearly eight salt water crocodiles in Bhitarkanika have the length of 16 to 18 feet while five were reportedly having a length of 18 to 20 feet and three crocodiles measured above 20 feet. Bhitarkanika has also emerged as the ideal habitat for the salt water crocodile in the country and also the largest concentration. Though Sundarbans sanctuary has a good mangrove forest, yet it houses a very small population of the salt water crocodiles."

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

Other Animals with Powerful Bites If you have ever been walking through the woods and worried about what animal has the strongest bite, you may just be safer in the woods than a swamp. While any animal bite can be scary, wild animals may seriously endanger your life. If you have ever been nipped by a domestic dog, cat or your pet hamster, this is nothing compared to the bit of a wild animal. Animal bites are actually measured in “pounds per square inch” (psi) which is the force that their jaw closes down when biting. The weight of the animal delivering the bite is a lso taken into consideration. These two factors will give you the bite force of an animal. To put what animal has the strongest bite into perspective, a domestic dog has a bite force of around 200 to 300 psi. There are wild animals out there that deliver a much more powerful bite.

Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies to only the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae ), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae ), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit."

I've just seen a video of different animal fights and their violence is unbelievable. Animals fight for their lives and only then would you see their real power. Tigers are rarely attacked hence you rarely see them fight with all of their strength. When little animals get hurt they become two times faster and more fierce, something you can rarely see in lions and tigers also because of their courage. Same thing applies to other large animals. But, taken all into account, speed, stamina, prowess, ability in general, tiger takes the top. It beat lions almost always and lions beat crocodiles and rhinos...

These modules will work with a variety of ignitions which have 1 coil and a mechanical distributor to distribute spark. For most ignition systems, the total ignition advance is based on three factors: Total advance = initial advance + RPM based advance + vacuum advance In particular, the Ultra Mega Squirt code uses three variables to determine the total advance (which is called adv_deg ). The first is the relevant value from the engine speed and load table, called ign_table (rpm,k Pa), combining the RPM based advance and vacuum advance in one 12x12 table. The second is the adv_offset, roughly equivalent to the initial timing. And the final value is the cold_adv_deg, an enhancement not available in many ignition systems, which is a 1x10 table based on engine coolant temperature (clt). In the code, these factors are in tenths of a degree ( 1 / 10 °). These values must be positive, so adv_offset sets the minimum amount of advance possible. So:adv_deg = ign_table (rpm, kpa) + adv_offset + cold_adv_deg In general: Low MAP (low engine load) = more spark advance High MAP (high engine load) = less spark advance Low CLT (cold engine) = more spark advance High CLT (warm engine) = less spark advance Low RPM = less spark advance High RPM = more spark advance The spark advance table is a 12 by 12 matrix (144 values) based on engine speed (RPM) and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor values. A further table of 10 values is used to make adjustments for engine coolant temperature."

It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type: e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, patch cables or straight through cables are used to connect devices of different types, such as a computer to a network switch or Ethernet hub. Intentionally crossed wiring in the crossover cable connects the transmit signals at one end to the receive signals at the other end.

Measure the voltage across each battery individually as they are connected, then measure the total voltage across them both, like this: Try connecting batteries of different sizes in series with each other, for instance a 6-volt battery with a 9-volt battery. What is the total voltage in this case?

The greater the resistance, the lower the current will be, assuming the same voltage imposed on the resistor. The hydraulic analogy of a resistor would be the pipe with water flowing through it. The wider the diameter of a pipe, the higher the water flow through the pipe, assuming the same pressure difference on the terminals of a pipe. Resistor's Symbol [ edit]Resistors have two leads (points of contact) to which the resistor can be connected to an electrical circuit. A symbol for a resistor used in electrical circuit diagrams is shown below. The endpoints at the left and right sides of the symbol indicate the points of contact for the resistor. The ratio of the voltage to current will always be positive, since a higher voltage on one side of a resistor is a positive voltage, and a current will flow from the positive side to the negative side, resulting in a positive current. If the voltage is reversed, the current is reversed, leading again to a positive resistance."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology How does an action potential travel down a neuron? What is a resting state? What kinds of changes occur when the impulse begins? Please help me. It's really hard to understand... Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: Resting state is when the neuron is not activated nor excited. Just think of it sitting there doing nothing. =p All cells have a membrane potential, which is the voltage across it's membranes. This is due to the difference in concentrations of ions inside and outside of the cells. ( The main ions are Na+ which is mostly outside of the cells and K+ which is mainly in the cells) During the resting state, most cells have a membrane potential of roughly -70m V. This means that the inside of the cell is about 70m V more negative than the outside of the cell. Remember though that although this resting potential is stable in most cells (means that it doesn't fluctuate or change until something triggers the cell out of its resting state) the ions are constantly moving across the cell membrane."

This is identical to the formula for pressure. Two distinctions should be made between stress and pressure: Firstly, while pressure is typically used to describe fluids (liquids or gases), stress is used to describe solids. Secondly, while pressure can only act perpendicular to a surface, stress is also able to act parallel to a surface. Stresses acting parallel to a surface are known as shear stresses. Tensile Strength [ edit]The (ultimate) tensile strength is the level of stress at which a material will fracture. Tensile strength is also known as fracture stress. If a material fractures by 'crack propagation' (i.e., it shatters), the material is brittle. Yield Stress [ edit]On a stress strain graph beyond the yield point (or elastic limit) the material will no longer return to its original length. This means it has become permanently deformed."

Item: RPM Speed Rope Price: $42 USDManufacturer: RPMPurchase: www. RPMfitness.com I should start this review by letting you know I am no double-under king. There is simply no hiding the fact that I have struggled with double-unders since the day I started Cross Fit training more than three years ago. While I have improved considerably since 2009, my double-unders are still very much a work in progress, and a weakness I am eager to change. So when I heard of a company claiming to have the ‘fastest speed rope on the market’, I was immediately interested in reviewing it. According to RPM Fitness, their jump ropes are the ‘smoothest’, and ‘most accurate’ on the planet, allowing athletes to reach ‘record breaking speeds’ while training. I must admit, after reading these claims for the first time, I was a bit skeptical about how accurate they were. However, after doing a bit more research on RPM Fitness, I found out their speed ropes had undergone a bunch of tests, with many athletes and jump rope teams backing up their claims. Californian Jump Rope Team, Sol Jumpers recently trialled the ropes and had a number of jumpers set new PRs while using the RPM rope."

"text": "Automotive O2 Oxygen Sensor Testing Procedures MAIN PAGE SOFTWARE Books-On-PDF YOUTUBE AMAZON-Paperbacks SUBSCRIBE NOW!Procedures for the Automotive Oxygen Sensor Testing Click to Get Book Here... By Mandy Concepcion The O2 sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. The O2 sensor’s sensing ability comes about by producing a small voltage proportionate to the exhaust oxygen content. In other words, if the oxygen content is low it produces a high voltage (0.90 Volts - Rich mixture) and if the oxygen content is high it produces a low voltage (0.10 Volts - Lean mixture). Although theoretically the O2 sensor should cycle between 0.00 volts and 1.00 volts, in reality it cycles between 0.10 volts and 0.90 volts. A GM O2 sensor signal stuck at 450 m V is an indication of an open O2 sensor circuit (signal wire) or faulty O2 signal ground. The 450 m V value (GM) is called a bias voltage and it is not the same for all manufacturers. Some manufacturers employ a dedicated O2 sensor ground. Such a ground lead is attached to the engine block or chassis and feeds an ECM O2 ground pin only. The O2 circuit is then grounded through the inside of the ECM electronic board by this ground wire. A loss of this ground would also put the O2 sensor signal at around 450 m V, which also makes it look like an open circuit."

He then walked to the radiography department so that the catheter could be guided into his right ventricle using fluoroscopy. Since then, central venous access has become a mainstay of modern clinical practice. An estimated 200 000 central venous catheters were inserted in the United Kingdom in 1994, 1 and the figure is probably even higher today. Clinicians from most medical disciplines will encounter patients with these catheters. Despite the benefits of central venous lines to patients and clinicians, more than 15% of patients will have a catheter related complication. 2 This review will provide an overview of central venous catheters and insertion techniques, and it will consider the prevention and management of common complications. Sources and selection criteria We searched the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Medline, Embase, and Clinical Evidence online. Search terms included central venous catheter, peripherally inserted central catheter, and complication. The reference lists of relevant studies were hand searched to identify other studies of interest."

"text": "\"AFTERLIFE 101CHAPTER 8. KEY SPIRIT GUIDE INSIGHTSThis chapter contains a summary of the most important messages provided by the spirit guides throughout the book, in the opinion of the editor. The Death Experience for Adults When a person dies, their personality survives and generally crosses over into spirit life. A person crossing over after a long life and without complications of disease or trauma will generally have a sense of peace and be prepared to be met by some form of energy on the other side. They know that they are going to be met by spirits of their past loved ones. Persons with Alzheimer's disease may make the choice to move into the spirit world or alternately may choose to continue to live in the childlike world resulting from that disease, because they are not in any great distress and are being provided for. Individuals who are experiencing their transition through great physical difficulties and disharmony may experience anger and disbelief at artificial means being used to prolong their physical discomfort and not allow them to move into their transition naturally. When death occurs from a sudden illness, the spirit of this person generally is aware that this is going to happen to them and is prepared on a spiritual level for this happening. Those adults who die from an illness that has continued on for an lengthy amount of time are truly being given the opportunity to explore their life on earth, their connection with God and the new adventure that they are facing more imminently than the majority of people on earth choose to face death. A person who is suddenly stricken down from an accident that they knew would most likely occur and agreed to when they came back into this human life knows that this has happened to them for the reason of helping those left on earth."

"text": "\"Territorial Spirits Written by Prof Johan Malan. Abstract: A key concept in the Transformations Movement is the identification and binding of territorial spirits. This practice fails thorough biblical scrutiny. In this article we shall looking at the modern teaching concerning what is called “territorial spirits”. According to this teaching there are specific, evil spirits that rule over a community, village, town, city or country; that is, they rule over a geographical area, and so are called “territorial spirits”. It is further taught that these territorial spirits have power and authority to keep the people in their geographical area in darkness, bondage and sin. Even more significantly than this, the promoters of this teaching tell us that these territorial spirits have such a hold on the local community or city, that the Gospel itself cannot be effective, gain entrance or spread in this area until these territorial spirits are first identified and then bound, overcome and rebuked in prayer. They teach that people will not turn to the Lord, be converted and delivered from sin, darkness and bondage in any significant numbers unless we first identify and then bind and rebuke the power of these territorial spirits. This is what they say and teach. This is an outline of the teaching in the simplest form possible, and I’m sure you will agree that if this teaching is true, it is of the utmost significance."

Add Torque At Position should work exactly like Add Force At Position, thus changing not only the angular momentum but also resulting in a translation when the position is off from the center of mass. I'm not sure how to implement this function. Any help would be cool :)Add comment · Show 22Replies· Add your reply Sort:4Best Answer Answer by Lockstep · Feb 27, 2013 at 11:49 PMThis works pretty much like spinning a pencil on the table. Try it. You will place two fingers on the opposite side of the pencil and push in the opposite direction. This results in a torque around the point in the middle of your fingers. Your custom Add Torque At Position function needs to do the same thing. I'll call the position of the added torque hinge and the axis of the rotation torque now. First you need to find two vectors which are orthogonal to torque and to eachother."

"text": "\"By Mrinali Patel Gupta, M. D. What Is a Stroke? A stroke is an episode of decreased blood flow to the tissues of the brain. This decreased blood flow can be caused by a blockage in a blood vessel (an ischemic stroke) or from damage to a blood vessel that causes bleeding from the blood vessel and prevents the area supplied by that vessel from receiving adequate blood flow (a hemorrhagic stroke). \"\" Ischemic\"\" or \"\"ischemia\"\" is from the Greek language, meaning a decrease in blood supply to a part of the body, caused by constriction or blockage of the blood vessels (\"\"isch\"\" = restriction/thinning; \"\"hema\"\" or \"\"haema\"\" = blood). \"\" Hemorrhagic\"\" or \"\"hemorrhage\"\" is also from the Greek language, meaning excessive discharge of blood from the blood vessels or, literally, \"\"blood bursting forth\"\" (\"\"hema\"\" or \"\"haema\"\" = blood; rhegnumai = to break forth). What Happens During a Stroke? During a stroke, the part of the brain that is affected receives insufficient oxygen and nutrients. This tissue is ischemic, meaning it receives insufficient blood flow to function normally. Ischemic tissue is injured but not dead, and the tissue injury from ischemia can be reversible. If the ischemia is prolonged or severe, the involved tissue may become infarcted, meaning that some of the tissue has died."

MF BLUME After reading my sermon WE DO NOT DIE DAILY ( click here to read that sermon ), one ministering brother accused me of being liberal since I purported that Paul's statement, \"\"I die daily,\"\" did not imply a need to die and be crucified each day of our lives. He said I was liberal in speaking about \"\"the finished work of the cross.\"\" He felt I implied there is no more work of God to be done in our lives if I regard the cross as a finished work, and that such a thought is extremely liberal and in error. This led me to realize how many people do not understand the \"\"finished work of the cross\"\" and showed me what such a thought is distorted to mean in some people's minds. His accusations of my faith are not at all what I implied. May this study pose as an introductory study concerning the FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS. There is much work of God to be done in our lives after we experience initial salvation There is a life that must be lived holily, and we must be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. We must live separated lives from the world and its lusts and sins. We must deny ourselves and deny our fleshly lusts every day."

The Cross, in all its forms, presents the most ancient symbol, and a series of meanings stands behind each of them (See Supplement 1 ). Some of these meanings are not widely known until our days; some other ones are still veiling the ancient esoteric concepts. The meaning of the majority of these corresponds to astronomical facts and evolution of the Earth and mankind that was kept secret for millennia. But from the 19th century a significant part of these symbols was explained – partly due to the disclosing of the Ancient Knowledge in works of Helen Blavatsky, – partly due to the progress of the sciences. For this reason we may suggest that this disclosure, by itself, presents great importance defining the last two centuries as the age of great revelations; if so, we may expect that they are given purposefully, in order to prepare us for something important. And we actually see this from a series of independent studies that the current decades can be characterised as the outstanding ones over the millennia; a series of seldom Space phenomena and the End of the Mayan calendar are evidently between them. In 1996, the concept of the Solar System Zodiac (SZ) was developed as a natural affiliate to the Tropical Zodiac (TZ).

Depending on the nature of the day and what it might hold, such a time might also bring about a certain amount of anxiety because of the challenge you might face. For months, weeks, and days you waited, and then finally, the day arrived. Can you imagine the anticipation and excitement the children of Israel faced as they stood before the River Jordan the evening before they were to cross over into the land?

The common misunderstanding is that dominant alleles somehow \"\"win against\"\" recessive. It is not true!Let's clarify what this means C (WT) is dominant over a recessive allele C (LOF), because a heterozygote still produces at least 50% of the normal amount of functioning protein, which is sufficient to produce a wild type phenotype. The extra non-functioning protein from the C (LOF) allele is quickly degraded and has no effect. In this case, C (GOF) is a dominant allele, because it codes for a protein which is visible on phenotype and masks a wild type protein. A good example of haplosufficiency is a genetic disease Phenylketonuria (PKU). It is inherited as a Mendelian recessive disorder. This disease is caused by a mutated allele that encodes the liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH). A wild type PAH coverts phenylalanine from food into the amino acid tyrosine: A mutated gene which encodes for a PAH enzyme can alter amino acid sequence of an enzyme resulting in deformed substrate binding site of PAH."

One item we will have to be keenly aware of is that many of the vehicles that we are sharing the road with have different characteristics than the passenger car that most of us commonly drive. For instance, a bicycle is not as fast but is much more maneuverable. A bicycle rider could go from riding on the sidewalk to riding on the roadway at virtually every intersection. We should be prepared to give these vehicles more room. A motorcycle is just as maneuverable as a bicycle but as fast or faster than the car most of us commonly drive in. In both cases, a vehicle framework protects neither driver of a bicycle or motorcycle as we are in our car; extra care should be exercised when these vehicles are around.

Exactly what does it mean? Thank you. Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A crossover is an SUV-type vehicle that is built on a passenger-car chassis, drivetrain and suspension. That means CUVs are typically unibody construction and front-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive which is high-range only (no transfer case for low-range 4WD). True off-road capable SUVs would have a much beefier drivetrain and suspension, with a transfer case for low-range 4-wheel-drive. Basically a crossover gives one the room of an SUV with better fuel economy, but at the expense of off-road capability.

Each group contains vehicles with similar kind of specifications. The glossary of automobiles has adopted SUV & MUV as the categories defining vehicles with some specified features. To understand the difference between them, we should know what category offers what kind of features. Picture- ENDEVOURSUV stands for sport utility vehicle that is used to denote any vehicle that looks like a station wagon. It means that is has a mini truck kind of platform. Few vehicles from this segment are Mahindra Scorpio, Toyota Fortuner, Maruti Grand Vitara, Tata Safari, Ford Endeavour and Honda CRV."

Can I assume you're looking to buy? What years are you looking at? New or Used? Price range? 2 row seating or 3 row seating? That said I'll just throw this out there, I drove the Mazda CX-5 2015 recently. I really liked the way it handled, it was quiet, and it's a pretty well priced vehicle compared to other similar cars like it. I don't know if this was just my dealership but they even offered to let me take it home to test drive it for the weekend.

"text": "When it goes on sale later this year, the $37,500 Chevy Bolt will be the first electric car priced in the realm of a Nissan Leaf but with battery about as big as an entry level Tesla Model S. The Bolt’s 60-kwh pack is actually the size of what was supplied in the outgoing 208-mile range Model S 60 which sold through 2015 and which was replaced with a 70-kwh pack. General Motors says the Chevy Bolt EV will get more than 200 miles range – a credible estimate and perhaps the only question remaining is how much more? Incidentally, from its launch Tesla had originally planned to sell a 40-kwh Model S but canceled it after receiving too few pre-orders. And, while Tesla is a large luxury performance sedan offering other advantages over the Bolt, what GM is offering is an indicator of how far it has increased what can be expected in this “mass” market class of EV. The Bolt’s LG Chem li-ion battery made along with its drive unit and motor in Incheon, South Korea utilizes cells for which GM pays a comparatively paltry $145/kwh which helps it give this much bang for the buck. Undisclosed is the usable energy of the Bolt’s battery, a critical parameter affecting range, and based on how it set up its Chevy Volt and Spark EV, GM has certainly made it a priority to not over-tax the battery which could threaten it with too-rapid degradation in its lifetime. For what it’s worth, Tesla allows over 90-percent usable capacity if you put it in “range mode” for a road trip. GM has historically allowed less but the Bolt’s “buffer” has not been revealed. Another factor is curb weight. The Bolt is surprisingly light at 3,580 pounds, more than 740 pounds lighter than the Tesla 60, but ultimately, until GM comes out and states it, EPA range remains a mystery."

There’s a long list of confusing topics when choosing the right options, but when it comes to deciphering the difference between all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD), it can get a little bit tricky. Often, these terms are used interchangeably, but are they really the same? Quick answer: no, they are not the same. While they seem like they do the same thing, they are in fact very different, and the differences affect their functionality.

More so, “four-wheel drive” typically only applies to the context of vehicles designed for intended off-road applications."

When “Family Guy” returns for its one-hour Season 13 premiere on Sunday night, the Griffins will finally meet the Simpsons. Fox announced the “ Family Guy” /“Simpsons” crossover back in May, and teased it again with a five-minute preview at Comic Con this summer. In the episode, titled “The Simpsons Guy,” the Griffins leave Quahog, Rhode Island and end up in Springfield, where they befriend Homer, Marge and co. “Family Guy” executive producer Steve Callaghan has described the episode to Entertainment Weekly as having much more of a “Family Guy” feel to it. He also hopes it puts to rest the rumors of a feud between the animated shows, and that it “ gets people to end global warming .” Based on the various promos Fox has released, here’s what to expect from the crossover: The Griffins get stuck in Springfield How do they arrive in the Simpson’s hometown?

It's distinctly dated, but its low price tag means it shows up on many cost-conscious buyers' shopping lists. With the Journey, Dodge competes with models such as the Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4. Among mid-size crossovers, the Journey is relatively aged. Technically a three-row crossover, the Journey is best when it seats five—wayback passengers need not bring their legs. This year, the Dodge Journey is unchanged for what may be its final model year. MORE: Read our 2018 Dodge Journey review Introduced for the 2009 model year, the Journey brought a new five-door shape to a Dodge lineup that was in the process of shedding its larger but lower Dodge Magnum wagon. The styling evoked other Dodge vehicles in its aggressive front end while carrying more than a hint of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in its rear hatch. The interior proved to be more of a dated mess: the Journey's canted instruments and boxed gauges called up unhappy memories of the Dodge Omni hatchback of the 1980s. Despite some miscues, the Journey came to market with a strong variety of configurations."

"text": "\"NEXTThe Toyota RAV4 logo is displayed on the back of a brand new RAV4 at a Toyota dealership in Oakland, Calif. Justin Sullivan/ Getty Images Crossover vehicles have been described as small SUVs, light-duty SUVs, or even tall cars. It's a tough segment to pin down. Most often, a crossover (or CUV) is a rugged, sometimes four-wheel drive vehicle built on a car platform rather than a truck platform. This increases comfort and improves on-road handling, though it does sacrifice off-road capability. It seems as if crossovers have just recently burst onto the scene, but by the definition above, the first crossover vehicle in the United States was the 1996 Toyota RAV4. The name stands for Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-Wheel Drive. ( Later models would be available in two-wheel drive, too.) The RAV4 had already enjoyed success in Japan, where it had been introduced in 1994. The US market was ready for crossovers, though, even if the segment didn't have a name yet. The Subaru Forester followed closely in the RAV4's tracks, debuting in 1997 as a 1998 model year car with the slogan \"\"SUV tough, car easy.\"\""

Let us explain By Miles Branman — Posted on October 21, 2015 - 4:00PMIt’s one of the largest vehicle segments within the automotive industry and it’s continuing to grow at a monumental pace. The question is: are we talking about SUVs or crossovers? Perhaps 10 years ago, we may have been referring to the former, but these days, consumers are swarming to dealers in search of crossovers. While you may have assumed that a crossover is really just an SUV with a marketing buzzword affixed to it, there are actually significant differences between the two categories of vehicle. That being said, some automakers will still cross-pollinate between the two names depending on what they feel the market is demanding. In this article, we’ll breakdown how Sport Utility Vehicles and Crossovers are built differently, for different purposes, and why you might be shopping for one versus the other. Popular SUVs and Crossovers Before diving into the major differences, here are some examples of more popular crossovers and SUVs to help you distinguish between the two while scouting your next vehicle. These are not exhaustive lists by any means.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Vehicle Electronics & GPS Car Audio Car Speakers & Speaker Systems What to Consider When Buying Car Stereo Tweeterse Bay 10K Views 1 Like Like Share March 3, 2016The built-in car stereo system that comes with a new (or used) car may not always be what the driver is looking for in terms of audio quality, frequencies, or volume levels. We live in an increasingly mobile society, which means we spend more and more time in our cars, so having the right sound is important. Whether it be for listening to classical pieces on the ride home from work, or for pumping up the bass while driving to impress pedestrians, it may be a good idea to upgrade the car stereo using so called component tweeter speakers. This guide will first explain the basics of audio frequencies and component speakers in general, and then offer some advice on what to consider when buying car stereo tweeters in particular. Finally, this guide explains how and where to find high quality car stereo tweeters at a prices that fit any budget. What Are Component Car Speakers and Why Use Them? When people buy a car, it usually comes with a pre-installed speaker system that is sufficient for listening to FM radio and playing the occasional CD. More demanding music enthusiasts, however, may find that the built-in system does not do the music justice. Somehow it sounds differently in the car than on the stereo at home. The reason for this lies in what is known as the audio frequency spectrum."

"text": "Chronic Inflammation: The Silent Enemy Burning Within Anyone who has cut, sprained or burned themselves has experienced pain, heat, redness and swelling—the sure signs of acute inflammation, or what the ancient Greeks described as “the internal fire.” In the aftermath of an injury, the body ignites with an inflammatory response to ward off infection and jump-start tissue repair. This reaction is a lifesaver, as white blood cells rush to the scene of the trauma to fight the deadly bacteria that can quickly spread. However, in some people, the inflammatory response is triggered inappropriately or never fully shuts off, potentially resulting in a state of chronic inflammation. Blood tests have detected low levels of inflammation in people diagnosed with a wide variety of illnesses. For example, the “silent” inflammation of cardiovascular blood vessels is now widely believed to be a key part of atherosclerosis. We now know that chronic inflammation continually drains energy from the body as it persistently tries to put out the internal fire, weakening our immune system, making it vulnerable to attack, and even triggering other conditions. “Research indicates that the effects of this chronic, low-grade, invisible inflammation are at the basis of aging and age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain forms of cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and autoimmune disorders,” says Nicholas V. Perricone, MD. In this way, chronic inflammation can lurk like a silent enemy with a hidden burning ember, who persistently steals life forces from the body, while also igniting a variety of other common ailments, such as asthma, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Dr. Perricone is among a growing number of researchers who believe that chronic inflammation results from a combination of genetics, diet and lifestyle choices that hamper the body’s ability to squelch the internal fire of the inflammatory response."

A: Quick Answer The purpose of a C-reactive protein test is to measure the amount of a particular type of protein in a person's blood, which indicates levels of inflammation in the body, according to Web MD. This C-reactive protein, or CRP, is found in high levels as a result of some types of diseases or infections. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Causes High CRP Levels? What Is Blood CRP Level? How Are Protein Levels Tested? Full Answer Commonly, a CRP test may be done following surgery to check for infection, states Web MD. Additionally, a CRP test may be performed to check for or to find and monitor conditions such as cancer of the lymph nodes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in a person's bone. However, a CRP test simply shows that inflammation is present. This test does not show the cause of inflammation."

It may initially affect one limb and then spread throughout the body; 35% of affected people report symptoms throughout their whole bodies. [ 1] There are multiple names for this disease, as well as two subtypes. Type I (also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy) refers to CRPS without evidence of a specific peripheral nerve injury. Type II refers to when there is specific evidence of a nerve injury. [ 2]The cause of CRPS is unknown. This typically occurs after an injury to the area in question such as a fracture or after surgery. [ 3] It is proposed that inflammation and alteration of pain perception in the central nervous system play important roles. It has been suggested that persistent pain and the perception of non-painful stimuli as painful may be caused by inflammatory molecules (IL-1, IL2, TNF-alpha) and neuropeptides (substance P) released from peripheral nerves. This release may be caused by inappropriate cross talk between sensory and motor fibers at the effected site. ["

D. has expertise in preventive cardiology, cardiovascular disease in women, and a number of other areas. Her research pursuits include gender differences in cardiovascular risk factors. What is C-reactive protein (CRP)? C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein the liver produces in the presence of infection or inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis. When you have an infection, the white blood cells act to fight it by producing a number of proteins, some of which stimulate the liver to produce CRP. The blood level of CRP has been used for many years to evaluate the level of inflammation or infection. How does CRP relate to cardiovascular risk? Your level of C-reactive protein can be an indicator of how at risk you are for developing cardiovascular problems. This is because the development of atherosclerosis (laying down of cholesterol inside the blood vessel walls) is associated with inflammation within the vessel walls. The result is higher levels of CRP in patients with atherosclerosis than in those without atherosclerosis."

The protein is present during episodes of acute inflammation or infection. In the body, CRP interacts with the complement system, an immunologic defense mechanism. An elevated CRP test result is an indication of acute inflammation. In cases of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, doctors can utilize the CRP test to assess the effectiveness of a specific arthritis treatment and monitor periods of disease flare-up. Its value is as a general indicator, though, not specific. By \"\"not specific\"\", it is meant that the CRP test does not reveal what is causing inflammation in the body. It simply indicates that there is inflammation. With inflammatory disease, a low CRP level is possible."

Download figure Open in new tab Download powerpoint Figure. Formation of an atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries. This is a cross-sectional view (horizontal slice) of a coronary artery with an atherosclerotic plaque. The fibrous cap is made up of a strong material called collagen that is protecting the blood stream from the lipid core. In addition to cholesterol and fats, the lipid core contains white blood cells, which are the inflammatory cells in the body. If the fibrous cap breaks, these inflammatory cells are exposed to the blood stream. A chain reaction then occurs that results in accumulation of platelets, clotting factors, and other cells, leading to rapid obstruction of the coronary artery and subsequent MI. Atherosclerosis leads to the build up of plaque, which is composed of a fibrous cap and a lipid (fatty) core, and grows slowly over years."

While selected uses can be defended as a disease marker in selected patients with autoimmune disorders followed by one assay platform type, most of the reported clinical uses of ESR as a disease screening tool are better performed by other assays, such as CRP and more recently biomarkers in infection/sepsis such as procalcitonin, neutrophil CD64, soluble CD163, cell free DNA plasma levels, TREM-1, IL-6, and others.

As you suggested yourself it may be elevated for no obvious cause and in many different scenarios - I personally know quite healthy people with such a constant elevation over decades and with no real symptoms of any related disease. It may not be that valuable as just one single test since it can be elevated in so many different scenarios. It all depends on the clinical symptoms, other diagnostics, therapies."

Your doctor might check your C-reactive protein level for infections or for other medical conditions. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test, which is more sensitive than a standard test, also can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Coronary artery disease can lead to a heart attack. A simple blood test measures C-reactive protein. Why it's done Your doctor might order a CRP test to check for inflammation, which can indicate infection or a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, as well as risk of heart disease. 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. Rather, the test is most useful for people who have a 5 to 10 percent chance of having a heart attack within the next 10 years."

See prior issues here newsletter 2008 and beyond. July 10 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory biomarker. In other words the blood levels tell us how much inflammation there is in the body. Based on the results of several epidemiologic studies, it has emerged as one of the most powerful predictors of cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease. This marker provides valuable information to clinicians in various clinical settings, ranging from overt cardiovascular disease, stable angina, presenting acute coronary syndromes and peripheral vascular disease, to metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, elevated C-reactive protein levels are a marker to all stages of atherogenesis (hardening of the arteries), endothelial dysfunction (the endothelium is the lining of arteries), atherosclerotic plaque formation, plaque maturation, plaque destabilization and eventual rupture. High levels of this compound may be a sign of a future risk for heart attacks, stroke and cancer, though it does not seem to be a direct cause. Those with depression are often found to have higher levels. Levels of C-reactive protein can be decreased by increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables and by taking certain supplements such as vitamin C. Additional research will reveal other dietary methods or natural substances that can reduce levels."

"text": "Inflammation is finally being recognized in conventional medical circles as a prime contributor to serious health concerns in women, e.g., heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease — to name just a few. A simple test called C-reactive protein (CRP) can help determine whether inflammation is present in your body — including the vessels around your heart. CRP is mainly released by the liver into the bloodstream in the presence of inflammation, including when there is an infection.. Generally speaking, inflammation is a sign that your body’s immune system is reacting to injured or infected tissue. Although your immune system is only doing its job, too much inflammation, or an ongoing inflammatory response, can lead to problems. When most of us think of inflammation, we imagine pain, swelling and redness. But we now know that chronic, low level inflammation can be present without these symptoms, while it’s still, insidiously, contributing to disease. This low-grade inflammation is particularly influenced by our nutrition, stress level, and environmental toxicity. Over time it can cause problems, such as heart disease, the conditions mentioned above. Although there is no definitive agreement on when to order CRP testing or who should have it, most practitioners in conventional medicine use this test to monitor acute infection or distinctly inflammatory disorders like arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. However, doctors are becoming increasingly aware of CRP’s value in assessing cardiovascular risk."

"text": "Charitable Trusts and Family Foundations Charitable Remainder Trusts The Charitable Remainder Trust ('CRT') is a type of trust specifically authorized by the Internal Revenue Code. These irrevocable trusts permit you to transfer ownership of assets to the trust in exchange for an income stream to the person or persons of your choice (typically you, your spouse or you and your spouse) for life or for a specified term of up to 20 years. With the most common type of Charitable Remainder Trust, at the end of the term, the balance of the trust property (the 'remainder interest') is transferred to a specified charity or charities. Charitable Remainder Trusts reduce estate taxes because you are transferring ownership to the trust of assets that otherwise would be counted for estate tax purposes. A Charitable Remainder Trust can be set up as part of your revocable living trust planning, coming into existence at the time of your death, or as a stand-alone trust during your lifetime. At the time of creation of the CRT you or your estate will be entitled to a charitable deduction in the amount of the current value of the gift that will eventually go to charity. If the income recipient is someone other than you or your spouse there will be gift tax consequences to the transfer to the CRT. Charitable Remainder Trusts are tax-exempt entities. In other words, when a Charitable Remainder Trust sells an asset it pays no income tax on the gain in that asset. Therefore, after a sale the trust has more available to invest than if the asset were sold outside of the Charitable Remainder Trust and subject to tax."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Critical race theory ( CRT) [1] is a theoretical framework in the social sciences that uses critical theory to examine society and culture as they relate to categorizations of race, law, and power. [ 2] [3] It began as a theoretical movement within American law schools in the mid- to late 1980s as a reworking of critical legal studies on race issues [4] [5] and is loosely unified by two common themes: First, CRT proposes that white supremacy and racial power are maintained over time, and in particular, that the law may play a role in this process. Second, CRT work has investigated the possibility of transforming the relationship between law and racial power, and more broadly, pursues a project of achieving racial emancipation and anti-subordination. [ 6] Scholars important to the theory include Derrick Bell, Patricia Williams, Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, and Mari Matsuda. By 2002, over 20 American law schools and at least three law schools in other countries offered critical race theory courses or classes which covered the issue centrally. [ 7] Critical race theory is taught and innovated in the fields of education, political science, women's studies, ethnic studies, and American studies. [ 8]Critics of CRT, including Richard Posner and Alex Kozinski, generally take issue with its foundations in Postmodernism and reliance on moral relativism, social constructionism, and other tenets contrary to classical liberalism. [ citation needed]Contents [ hide ]1 Definition2 Origins3 Key elements4 Latino critical race theory5 Applications6 Critique7 Offshoot fields8 Controversies and impact9 Notes10 Bibliography11 Further reading Definition [ edit]According to the UCLA School of Public Affairs: CRT recognizes that racism is engrained in the fabric and system of the American society.

The term can refer to a television set, a television program (\"\"TV show\"\"), or the medium of television transmission. Television is a mass medium for entertainment, sports, education, news, courtroom drama, vintage programming, politics, gossip and advertising. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s, but it would still be several years before the new technology would be marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white TV broadcasting became popular in the United States and Britain, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions.

"text": "Norm-Referenced vs. Criterion-Referenced Testing Posted by Danielle on May 22, 2008You may have had an experience where you took a test for a class, and the instructor showed you the class’s results afterwards. The results probably mapped out into the infamous “bell-shaped curve”, with a few people scoring on the low end of the curve, the majority clustering in the middle, and a few people scoring on the high end. What you may not have known is that this is a normal distribution found in norm-referenced testing. Norm-referenced tests (or NRTs) compare an examinee’s performance to that of other examinees. Standardized examinations such as the SAT are norm-referenced tests. The goal is to rank the set of examinees so that decisions about their opportunity for success (e.g. college entrance) can be made. Criterion-referenced tests (or CRTs) differ in that each examinee’s performance is compared to a pre-defined set of criteria or a standard. The goal with these tests is to determine whether or not the candidate has the demonstrated mastery of a certain skill or set of skills. These results are usually “pass” or “fail” and are used in making decisions about job entry, certification, or licensure. A national board medical exam is an example of a CRT."

The respiratory therapist treats people with health care issues affecting the cardiopulmonary system such as asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, cardiovascular disorders, and trauma. In the hospital setting, the respiratory therapist provides care and life support to patients in the emergency room, intensive care units, general hospital areas, the pulmonary diagnostics laboratory and other specialty areas such as rehabilitation. They use high-tech equipment and the latest medical procedures to help patients and may be employed in non-hospital environments as well. Patients receiving care from a respiratory therapist range in age from the premature infant to geriatrics. The respiratory professional is also involved in the diagnostic testing of infants, children and adults with underlying medical concerns including disease and sleep disorders. The AARC web site can provide additional information on the respiratory care profession. Professional Credentialing: CRT and RRT The Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) credential is required to acquire state license and practice as a respiratory therapist. This is obtained by passing the National Board for Respiratory Care certification examination."

Would this have any effect on a general surgery to neuter a dog? ( 7 year old Golden Retriever) Thanks! Optional Information: Age: 7; Male; Breed: Golden Retriever Share this conversation Answered in 3 hours by: 2/12/2006Pet Specialist: Dr. Hanson Your Golden Retriever is a large breed dog (51 to 90 pounds). Large breeds are considered geriatric between 7 and 10 years old. The benefits of neutering (both health and behavioral) can still be obtained regardless of the age at which neutering is performed. Neutering can be performed without problems in most canine geriatric patients. As you know, preanesthetic laboratory tests relevant to anesthetizing an older dog are recommended and only your dog's veterinary surgeon can make an accurate judgment as to whether surgery should be postponed until your dog's hemoglobin (presently elevated at 18.4) comes to within normal limits. The surgical procedure for neutering a dog is performed under general anesthesia."

A: Radar is an acronym meaning RAdio Detection And Ranging. It is a device which measures not only the time it takes for a pulsed signal to be reflected back from an appropriate object, but also determines its bearing relative to your position. Once the time and bearing are measured, these targets or echoes are calculated and displayed on your radar display. This will give you a birds eye view of where other targets are relative to you, even when you can not see them with your eyes due to low visibility. Q: What can radar do for me?

A critical component of religious liberty is the right of people of all faiths to participate fully in the benefits and privileges of society without facing discrimination based on their religion. The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice enforces federal statutes that prohibit discrimination based on religion in education, employment, housing, public accommodations, and access to public facilities. In addition, the Civil Rights Division prosecutes bias crimes committed against individuals because of their religion and acts of vandalism and arson against houses of worship. The Civil Rights Division also is authorized to bring suit to enforce the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), which protects individuals and houses of worship from discriminatory and unduly burdensome zoning regulations, and protects the religious exercise of prisoners and other institutionalized persons. This brochure provides an introduction to the laws against religious discrimination enforced by the Department of Justice, and information on how to report claims to the various sections of the Civil Rights Division and where to learn more about your rights. Education A group of students form a Bible club and ask for permission to meet in a classroom before school. While other student-created groups are given meeting space, the Bible club is barred because it is religious. Two Muslim sisters are told by a school principal that they cannot wear their hijabs (head-covering scarves) to school due to a no-hats policy, despite the fact that the school has made exceptions to the policy for other students."

With the price of electricity going nowhere but up, catching the big game on Sunday, watching the latest DVD, and playing Halo with your buddies can make your electricity meter spin. But just how much does it cost to run a TV? To get an idea of how thirsty for power today's sets are, we measured how much electricity they actually use when they're on and when they're off. The results might just startle both you and your wallet. The basics of TV power At a time when electricity costs 30 percent more than it did last year, just about every modern appliance can be seen as a power-hungry mass of circuits, lights, and buttons that sucks down electricity, day and night. We put 20 TVs--old and new--to the test by measuring how much power each uses in a variety of circumstances. Our results show that it can cost between $13 and $145 a year to watch TV, depending on whether you want a small LCD TV or a huge plasma set. Technology and size matter There are four basic technologies that TVs use to produce a picture, and technology type has the largest influence on power consumption per inch of screen. The traditional cathode-ray tube blasts electrons onto chemical phosphors embedded on the inside of the tube, while plasma sets ionize gas to create colors in a million or more tiny pixel cells."

Respiratory therapy continues to be a vital part of patient care due to rising incidences of chronic lung conditions and diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, COPD, and emphysema. According to the American Lung Association, COPD is the third leading cause of death in America. It is also estimated that nearly 24 million U. S. adults have evidence of impaired lung function. Further, it is estimated that 10.1 million Americans reported a physician diagnosis of chronic bronchitis in 2011, and an estimated 4.7 million Americans have been diagnosed with emphysema at some point in their lives.

It seems the media always raves about the benes of raw kale. It is high in so many vitamins and is quite good for you. It is high in fiber, B vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll. Kale is part of the cabbage family (a.k.a. cruciferous vegetables), and veggies found in this family have been proven to be very therapeutic. There is a chemical found in these veggies called indole-3-carbinol that can assist in reducing estrogen levels. This can help when a person has issues with uterine fibroids, menopausal symptoms due to high estrogen and low progesterone, fibrocystic breast disease, and it also helps with the prevention of breast cancer. Kale itself has been shown to fight not only breast cancer, but also bladder, colon, ovarian, and prostate cancers. Kale is full of antioxidants that reduce risks to cataracts, atherosclerosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Cauliflower Information gathered for a large-scale study called the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) has shown cauliflower to be an especially popular cruciferous vegetable in 10 western European countries, tying for first place with cabbage for the vegetable consumed most frequently. Here is how cauliflower stacked up against other cruciferous vegetables as a percentage of all vegetables eaten:cauliflower (25%); white cabbage (13%), and cabbage \"\"unspecified\"\" (12%). It is also interesting to compare cauliflower with broccoli in the study findings since cauliflower accounted for a greater percentage of total vegetable consumption than broccoli (18%). Recent studies have shown that boiling, full submersion of cauliflower in water when cooking, is not the best cooking practice if you want to preserve key phytonutrients in this cruciferous vegetable. In one study, 3 minutes of cauliflower submersion in a full pot of boiling water was enough to draw out more phytonutrients than 10 full minutes of steaming. Glucosinolates and flavonoids were the phytonutrients lost from cauliflower in greater amounts with full water submersion. At least in some countries, cooked cauliflower is greatly preferred over raw cauliflower. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)—also referred to above—has found that 80% of the cauliflower consumed in 10 European countries (including France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark) is enjoyed in cooked form (versus raw). Several recent studies have shown the cooking of raw cauliflower to significantly improve its ability to bind together with bile acids. Since bile acid binding is a well-documented method for helping regulate blood cholesterol levels, these studies point to potential cardiovascular benefits from consumption of cooked cauliflower."

"text": "Goitrogens: Thyroid Inhibiting Foods You Should Avoid Many people with thyroid conditions wonder what they should eat, and whether or not there are foods which can help improve their thyroid health. While there are certain foods those with a thyroid condition should consume, in this article I’m going to discuss certain thyroid-inhibiting foods you should try to avoid. These thyroid-inhibiting foods are also known as goitrogens, and I’m going to discuss the negative impact they can have on your health, and list some of the common foods which you will want to minimize your consumption of, and in some cases, completely avoid. This is especially true if you have a hypothyroid condition, but even if you have hyperthyroidism you still want to minimize the consumption of these foods. Here are some examples of goitrogens:• Broccoli • Cauliflower • Kale • Brussels Sprouts • Mustard Greens • Radishes • Spinach • Strawberries • Peaches • Soy-Based Foods • Peanuts You’ll notice that some of these goitrogenic foods are considered to be healthy foods, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc. Because of this, it’s probably important to mention that those people who don’t have a thyroid condition shouldn’t have a problem eating these vegetables. In other words, eating cruciferous vegetables will most likely not lead to the development of a thyroid condition. On the other hand, for someone who has a thyroid condition, especially hypothyroidism, consuming goitrogens can actually worsen your condition. So does this mean that someone with a hypothyroid condition should completely avoid these goitrogenic foods? Well, for those who choose to manage their symptoms by taking synthetic or natural thyroid hormone, then eating these foods in moderation probably isn’t a big deal."

Fogoros, MDUpdated March 21, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jane Frank/ Cookies and Curtains Kale is touted as a wonder food, and you can find it on menus everywhere. But there may be some concerns about consuming kale if you have thyroid disease. Let’s take a look at closer look at this nutritional powerhouse of a plant. What Is Kale? The Latin name for kale is Brassica oleracea acephala. Kale is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables. It is tough and bitter when eaten raw. Kale is a close relative of other cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and collard greens. Kale has long leaves, either curly or smooth, and the leaves don’t form a unified stem or head. Kale leaves can be green or purple."

( More information)Each glucosinolate forms a different isothiocyanate when hydrolyzed. For example, broccoli is a good source of glucoraphanin, the glucosinolate precursor of sulforaphane, and sinigrin, the glucosinolate precursor of allyl isothiocyanate. ( More information)Absorbed isothiocyanates are rapidly conjugated to glutathione in the liver, and then sequentially metabolized in the mercapturic acid pathway, before being excreted in the urine. ( More information)Isothiocyanates may modulate the expression and activity of biotransformation enzymes that are involved in the metabolism and elimination of xenobiotics (e.g., carcinogens) from the body. In cultured cells and animal models, isothiocyanates also exhibited antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and interfered with numerous cancer -related targets and pathways. ( More information)Although high intakes of cruciferous vegetables have been associated with a lower risk for cancer, there is insufficient evidence that exposure to isothiocyanates through cruciferous vegetable consumption decreases cancer risk. ( More information)Glucosinolates are present in relatively high concentrations in cruciferous vegetables, but the amounts of isothiocyanates formed from glucosinolates in foods are variable and depend partly on food processing and preparation. ( More information)Introduction Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage, and kale, are rich sources of sulfur-containing compounds called glucosinolates (see the article on Cruciferous Vegetables )."

"text": "Related Articles Does Broccoli Affect Thyroid Levels? What Are the Benefits of Eating Broccoli Every Day? What Are the Health Benefits of Brassica or Cruciferous Vegetables? Benefits Of Broccolette Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, kale and cabbage are not inherently “bad” for the thyroid – but they may need to be limited – or at least thoroughly cooked – by people with goiter or hypothyroidism. Broccoli is actually full of beneficial substances which have been shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers like colorectal, lung, prostate and breast cancers. If you have normal thyroid function, the goitrogenic substances found in broccoli are probably outweighed by all the other health benefits found in cruciferous vegetables. Thiocyanates and Thyroid Function A class of compounds in broccoli that have been isolated as goitrogenic – that is a substance that contributes to the development of a goiter in at-risk individuals – are called thiocyanates. Isothiocyanates are made from phytonutrients known as glucosinolates, which are found in abundance in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli. These substances seem to interfere with iodine absorption, particularly where iodine is limited in the diet, and have been linked to the formation of goiters in low-iodine regions like parts of Africa that rely heavily on foods containing high levels of thiocyanates – in this case the cassava root. Nutrient Deficiencies and Goitrogens A deficiency in both iodine and selenium may be related to the anti-thyroid action of thiocyanates, according to the George Mateljan Foundation website."

If you have an underactive thyroid, medically known as hypothyroidism, your body does not excrete enough of these hormones. While medication is the primary mode of treatment for hypothyroidism, diet also plays an important role. In fact, certain foods -- non-fermented soy, cruciferous vegetables and millet, for example -- may not be so good for your thyroid. Consult your doctor before making changes to your diet. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Non-Fermented Soy Foods Soy milk, tofu, soy burgers and soy oil are examples of non-fermented soy foods. These soy foods are rich in isoflavones, which are plant compounds that have estrogen-like activity. Soy isoflavones are considered goitrogens, or agents that interfere with thyroid function. If you have hypothyroidism, you may need to avoid or limit these foods in your diet. Your doctor can help you determine how much non-fermented soy you can tolerate."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Broccoli Since our recommended cooking method for broccoli has always been Quick Steaming, we are excited to report on numerous recent studies that show nutritional benefits from the steaming of broccoli (versus other cooking methods). Included in these benefits are better retention of vitamin C and sulforaphane when broccoli is steamed rather than boiled. Also noted in these studies are better firmness and more vibrant green color from short-term versus long-term steaming. \"\" Short-term\"\" in this context typically means 5 minutes or less of steaming, and \"\"long-term\"\" means more than 5 minutes, and usually more like 15-20 minutes. Connected with these steaming results in recent studies are clearly noticeable differences in nutrient concentrations that occur when steaming times are changed by relatively small amounts. For example, researchers are finding nutrient differences in broccoli steamed for 1 versus 2 minutes, or 3 versus 5 minutes. Many nutrients in broccoli are clearly sensitive to total steaming time, and as a general rule, all studies suggest that total steaming time be kept relatively short. At WHFoods, our recommended steaming time for broccoli florets and leaves is 4 minutes. The anti-inflammatory benefits of sulfur compounds in broccoli have a strong research track record. Adding to this track record is a recent study showing broccoli benefits in small group of smokers who averaged at least 10 cigarettes per day."

But because research on cruciferous vegetables has skyrocketed over the past three to seven years, many people are not familiar with the latest science on this age-old group of vegetables. The name \"\"cruciferous vegetables\"\" is itself undergoing change! This group of vegetables was originally named for the four equal-sized petals in its flowers that could be viewed as forming a cross-like or crucifix shape. But many scientists are starting to favor the term \"\"brassica vegetables\"\" over \"\"cruciferous vegetables\"\" and the traditional name of this plant family in Latin, Cruciferae, is now being largely replaced by the Latin name Brassicaceae. ( In Latin, the word \"\"brassica\"\" simply translates as \"\"cabbage,\"\" and cabbage is definitely a featured member of this vegetable group. ) You'll also hear farmers referring to foods in this vegetable group as \"\"cole crops.\"\" The word \"\"cole\"\" (which is easy to spot in the word \"\"coleslaw,\"\" a dish usually made from cabbage but also from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli) once again takes us back to the Latin language; it comes from the word \"\"caulis\"\" that refers to the stalks of plants, especially to the stalk of the cabbage plant. ( Interestingly, you can find this Latin root not in the cabbages that so commonly represent the broader family of cruciferous vegetables, but in cauliflower, which is another important member of this vegetable group.) Cruciferous vegetables are also sometimes referred to as the mustard family vegetables, since the widely popular mustard greens — and mustard seeds and mustard oils — also belong to this vegetable group."

Department of Agriculture, collard greens turned out to be cheaper than many of their fellow cruciferous vegetables in terms of average U. S. price per edible cup (chopped and cooked). Cauliflower florets, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli florets, and kale showed up as being more expensive than collard greens after being trimmed to their edible portion and cooked. Among the cruciferous vegetables, only cabbage turned out to be less expensive than collard greens on a per cup basis (chopped and cooked). The affordable nature of collard greens is great news in terms of nutrition, since this cruciferous vegetable achieves 6 rankings of excellent, 4 rankings of very good, and 11 rankings of good in our WHFoods rating system!In a study on indigenous vegetable intake in the southeastern United States, collard greens were determined to provide the 4th greatest amount of antioxidant capacity related to overall dietary intake among 12 nutrient-rich foods in the study. In these research findings, collard greens ranked 4th behind sweet potato greens, mustard greens, and kale. Alongside of the four nutrient-rich greens listed above, this regional study also examined the antioxidant contributions of purple hull peas, rutabagas, eggplant, purslane, butter beans, butter peas, and green onions. Intake of collard greens has long been known to have the capacity to lower blood cholesterol levels, including blood levels of LDL cholesterol. But a recent study on cruciferous vegetables has taken our understanding of collards and cholesterol to a new level. In this study, researchers focused on the ability of fiber-like components in vegetables to bind together with bile acids. ( When bound together with fiber-like components, bile acids are more readily excreted from our body, and following their excretion, our cells break apart some cholesterol into its component bile acids as a way of replacing the bound bile acids that got excreted."

Diarrhea has many causes. It can be due to stress, viral infection, bacteria ingested from food, parasites and food poisoning. Some foods can also cause diarrhea, especially when taken in amounts way above what is commonly normal. Although these foods are not harmful per se, when taken in large amounts, it will result to the discomforts caused by diarrhea.1. Fried Foods Fried foods do not necessarily cause diarrhea. It is the inability to digest and absorb too much ingested fats that causes diarrhea. Eating fried foods mean there is an increased fat intake.

For some reason, i have a hard time believing a movie like Madagascar is offending but who knows Dexter · 9 years ago0 0 Comment Crude humor is humor that may offend some people or individuals. It may also offend things kept sacred to individuals. Crude humor is not very explicit and should be fine for your daughter."

So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to wipe the slate clean-and maintain a clean bill of health-David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad's latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the \"\"Millers\"\" are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

He wouldn’t know a joke if it came served on a bed of lettuce with sauce bearnaise.”) However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: “She’s a real honey, has a life of her own … (interlude for attributes that are none of your business) … and, man, does she ever make ’em laugh.” Now, why is this? Why is it the case?, I mean. Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny? Please do not pretend not to know what I am talking about.

The comedy is appropriate and comes at the right times, great character development, good amount of drama for a children's show, and all around fun.

Eddie Murphy's talent as a comic chameleon shines brightly, but the script could be tighter as well as much cleaner. Review: Eddie Murphy’s talent as a comic chameleon shines brightly in his new comedy NORBIT. Regrettably, however, the movie has plenty of off-color material requiring extreme caution. The movie opens with Norbit telling viewers how he was abandoned by his parents and literally thrown at the doorstep of the Golden Wonton Restaurant and Orphanage. Taken in by Mr. Wong, the Chinese man running the orphanage with his wife, Norbit finds happiness as a child with his playmate Kate. They pretend to get married under the oak tree, but soon Kate is whisked out of his life when she is adopted. Bullied by other boys, Norbit is rescued by an overweight girl named Rasputia, who claims Norbit as her boyfriend, Norbit’s protestations to the contrary. Norbit marries her, but her large and mean brothers take turns with Rasputia bullying him. In fact, Rasputia’s whole family bullies everyone in the town, not just Norbit."

It was the visual art movement that characterized a sense of optimism during the post war consumer boom of the 1950's and 1960's. It coincided with the globalization of pop music and youth culture, personified by Elvis and the Beatles. Pop Art was brash, young and fun and hostile to the artistic establishment. It included different styles of painting and sculpture from various countries, but what they all had in common was an interest in mass-media, mass-production and mass-culture. British Pop Art EDUARDO PAOLOZZI (1924- 2005) 'I was a Rich Man's Plaything' , 1947 (collage)The word 'POP' was first coined in 1954, by the British art critic Lawrence Alloway, to describe a new type of art that was inspired by the imagery of popular culture. Alloway, alongside the artists Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi, was among the founding members of the Independent Group, a collective of artists, architects, and writers who explored radical approaches to contemporary visual culture during their meetings at ICA in London between 1952 and 1955. They became the forerunners to British Pop art. At their first meeting Paolozzi gave a visual lecture entitled 'Bunk' (short for 'bunkum' meaning nonsense) which took an ironic look at the all-American lifestyle."

Examples of slapstick comedy are dumb and dumber, dude where's my car and jackass. If I had to define it I would say it is intentional stupidity in order to make someone laugh. Answer: Slapstick humour is a type of physical comedy based on absurd situations, and vigorous, usually violent action. Comoc incolved in such presentations often participate in pratfalls and vilolent physical interaction. The name slapstick comes from the original \"\"tool\"\" of this type of humour - a paddle used to strike the victim (and designed to give a loud sound) when the joke was made to draw attention to the humour."

After the movie, Spongebob's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, resigned as the producer, and a man named Derek Drymon took the reins, and with that shift came many new writers. This would turn out to be a dire mistake. Not for them, no; Spongebob is as profitable as ever."

Sweet crude has less than 0.5 per cent sulphur content whereas sour crude has more than 0.5 per cent. Sour crude oils are cheaper than the sweeter variety. They are more complex and expensive to refine. Some of the well-known varieties of crude oil are Brent (sweet), Dubai (sour), Nigerian Bonny Light (sweet), West Texas Intermediate (sweet), Urals (CIS) (sour) and Suez Blend (sour).• What does India import? India largely imports the sour variety. The overall basket is much cheaper than Brent. Environmental standards in India permit higher sulphur content in petrol and diesel.• What are the price differences between major varieties of crude oil?"

"text": "Breakdown of Gas Prices Prev NEXTPhoto by Mario Tama/ Getty Images Traders work in the crude oil options pit at the New York Mercantile Exchange, April 22, 2008. Oil posted a then-record high of more than $118 following oil demand from China and supply concerns from Russia and Nigeria. When you pump $30 into your tank, that money is broken up into little pieces that get distributed among several entities. Gas is just like any other consumer product: There's a supply chain and several groups who are responsible for setting the price of the product. The media can sometimes lead you to believe that the price of gas is based solely on the price of crude oil, but there are actually many factors that determine what you pay at the pump. No matter how expensive gas becomes, all of these entities have to get their slice of the pie. According to the U. S. Department of Energy, here's an approximation of where each dollar you spend on gas goes: Taxes: 13 cents Distribution and Marketing: 8 cents Refining: 14 cents Crude oil: 65 cents [source: DOE]This is what the average breakdown looked like in April 2011. Let's look at those components in more detail. Crude oil - The biggest portion of the cost of gas goes to the crude-oil suppliers. This is determined by the world's oil-exporting nations, particularly the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which you will learn more about in the next section."

Update Cancel Answer Wiki68 Answers Utsav Somani, India @ Angel List, Angel Investor Answered Jan 25, 2016Best answer I have read thus far (from Reddit source) -So this is a commonly repeated viewpoint, both in this subreddit and in the broader reddit-verse and media. It goes something like Saudi Arabia is intentionally leaving the oil taps on as a strategy to kill North American shale! Flood the market with cheap oil, drive out those companies by bankrupting them, then go back to the glorious days of high oil prices!Sometimes you'll see this repeated with Iran as the primary target, because the Saudis and Iranians have very high tension right now. Unfortunately, this analysis is mostly false. It's not 100% wrong - I'm sure the Saudis will be happy if Iran gets hurt, or if North American shale companies go bankrupt. But it's simply not the primary reason why they are pumping. What is the reason Saudi Arabia is still pumping? Because they can't drive the price down by themselves - they're only 13% of world oil production. If they were to cut production, the price of oil would rise... but not that much."

The inferno destroyed the downtown area; 47 people died. The 72-car train had been carrying nearly 2 million gallons of crude oil from North Dakota’s Bakken fields. While the recent surge in domestic oil production has raised concerns about fracking, less attention has been paid to the billions of gallons of petroleum crisscrossing the country in “ virtual pipelines ” running through neighborhoods and alongside waterways. Most of this oil is being shipped in what’s been called “the Ford Pinto of rail cars”—a tank car whose safety flaws have been known for more than two decades. Holey Roller: The DOT-111 The original DOT-111 tank car was designed in the 1960s.

We know what it’s worth – at least we thought we did – but what does a barrel of the black stuff get you in real life? Before we get theoretical, let’s first consider how much oil you use. If you’re in the United States, that figure is approximately 2.5 gallons of crude oil per day; roughly one barrel every seventeen days; or nearly 22 barrels per year. That’s just your share of US total consumption of course; the true number is harder to discern – minus industrial and non-residential uses, daily consumption drops to about 1.5 gallons per person per day. Subtract the percentage of the population aged 14 and below and the daily consumption climbs back above 2 gallons. This is big picture, and it’s quite variable, so let’s go further.

Partial Lift of Crude Oil Export Ban STEVE AUSTIN | 2014/09/08Back in February 2014, oil-price.net posted an astonishing report on the US government's trade restrictions on its own oil industry. While other governments protect their home industries and give preference to their own national interests, by a convoluted path of logic, successive administrations in the US stymied the producers of crude oil in the USA. You can read that full report here: Oil Export Ban Hurts US Oil Industry. However, moves are now afoot to ease this restriction. By one method or another, the crude oil export ban may be undermined to the point that it is meaningless. This is one more battle in the war between US oil producers, who want the export ban lifted, and US oil refiners, who want to keep the ban. The battleground is the definition of what constitutes \"\"crude\"\" and \"\"refined\"\" oil. Background The export ban on crude oil was put in place following the oil price shock of the 1970s. Arab governments held the Western world hostage by restricting their oil exports and hiking the world oil price."

How many gallons of crude oil does it take to make a gallon of gasoline?\"",
"text": "\"Ian Lavoie, works at Oil and Gas Industry Answered Nov 23, 2013 · Author has 122 answers and 576.6k answer views Ryan gives a good answer. As an addendum, I will add the following: Gasoline yield may also vary considerably at a given refinery based on the market conditions of the day. There is a significant tradeoff possible between gasoline and distillate yields. So if gasoline cracks increase, the refinery will swing it's gasoline-to-diesel ratio up to capture those cracks, and minimize the ratio if gasoline cracks decrease, or distillate cracks increase. Some specific examples of actions that a refinery could take to change their ratio include: 1) The heavy natural naphtha cut from the distillation tower is typically used to make jet fuel, but most can also be diverted into a reformer to make reformate for gasoline blending. 2) Heavy cat naphtha from a cat cracker can be used to blend into gasoline, furnace fuel oil, or diesel fuel. 3) The slate of crudes that the refinery processes could be changed to include crudes with a higher or lower yield of \"\"fractions\"\" for making gasoline or diesel. However, say if diesel margins are high, the crudes that yield more diesel will also increase in price relative to other crudes, for little net gain. This move will only make sense if your refinery is more capable of extracting that extra diesel from the crude than other refineries competing for the same crude. A fairly flexible refinery can swing their ratio from 0.7 - 1.2 (where the total is 85% of the barrel) within a few of months without capital investment."

West Texas Intermediate crude oil is of very high quality because it is light-weight and has low sulphur content. For these reasons, it is often referred to as “light, sweet” crude oil. These properties make it excellent for making gasoline. That's why it is the major benchmark of crude oil in the Americas.

S. sources, and it’s geographically safe and secure, sending a hedge into the WTI price, not into Brent,” said Richard Hastings, a macro strategist at Global Hunter Securities. Hastings made the comments when the price spread between the crudes traded at less than $1 back in July “Brent, in turn, reflects macroeconomic weakness from around the world, something which is less meaningful to WTI pricing,” he explained. 1WTI (West Texas Intermediate), North Sea Brent and the OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) Benchmark. What Are the Major differences between these crude oil futures contracts? : Sulfur Content: Some Crude oils are easier, less costly to refine into gasoline than others. Low sulfur crude is also known as Sweet crude. The commonly used measure of sulfur content is API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API is the American Petroleum Institute. WTI Crude API gravity of around 39.6."

"text": "Constitutionalism First published Wed Jan 10, 2001; substantive revision Wed Dec 20, 2017Constitutionalism is the idea, often associated with the political theories of John Locke and the founders of the American republic, that government can and should be legally limited in its powers, and that its authority or legitimacy depends on its observing these limitations. This idea brings with it a host of vexing questions of interest not only to legal scholars, but to anyone keen to explore the legal and philosophical foundations of the state. How can a government be legally limited if law is the creation of government? Does this mean that a government can be ‘self-limiting’? Is this even possible? If not, then is there some way of avoiding this implication? If meaningful limitation is indeed to be possible, perhaps constitutional constraints must somehow be ‘entrenched’, that is, resistant to change or removal by those whose powers are constrained? Perhaps they must not only be entrenched, but enshrined in written rules. If so, how are these rules to be interpreted? In terms of their original, public meaning or the intentions of their authors, or in terms of the, possibly ever-developing, values and principles they express?"

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."

"text": "Common Interpretation The Eighth Amendment The Eighth Amendment By Bryan A. Stevenson and John F. Stinneford The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” This amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing unduly harsh penalties on criminal defendants, either as the price for obtaining pretrial release or as punishment for crime after conviction. The Cruel and Unusual Punishments Clause is the most important and controversial part of the Eighth Amendment. In some ways, the Clause is shrouded in mystery. What does it mean for a punishment to be “cruel and unusual”? How do we measure a punishment’s cruelty? And if a punishment is cruel, why should we care whether it is “unusual”? We do know some things about the history of the phrase “cruel and unusual punishments.” In 1689 – a full century before the ratification of the United States Constitution – England adopted a Bill of Rights that prohibited “cruell and unusuall punishments.” In 1776, George Mason included a prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments in the Declaration of Rights he drafted for the Commonwealth of Virginia."

[ 1] If the Bill of Rights mentions a punishment, does that make it a “permissible legislative choice” immune to independent constitutional challenges? [ 2]The dueling opinions in Glossip v. Gross [3] have brought renewed attention to the constitutionality of the death penalty. [ 4] In a dissent joined by Justice Ginsburg, Justice Breyer identified “three fundamental constitutional defects” with the death penalty: “ (1) serious unreliability, (2) arbitrariness in application, and (3) unconscionably long delays.” [ 5] These defects led him to conclude “that the death penalty, in and of itself, now likely constitutes a legally prohibited ‘cruel and unusual punishmen [t].’” [6] Justice Breyer’s dissent marked the first time that two members of the current Court have announced a belief that the death penalty is likely unconstitutional “in and of itself,” and the opinion has justifiably been treated as a significant development. [ 7]In a blistering concurrence, Justice Scalia (joined by Justice Thomas) wrote that the dissent was full of “gobbledy-gook,” and that “not once in the history of the American Republic has this Court ever suggested the death penalty is categorically impermissible.” [ 8] Justice Scalia argued that the Fifth Amendment afforded a textual basis for the capital punishment’s continued constitutionality: The reason is obvious: It is impossible to hold unconstitutional that which the Constitution explicitly contemplates . The Fifth Amendment provides that “ [n]o person shall be held to answer for a capital . . . crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,” and that no person shall be “deprived of life . . . without due process of law.” ["

I know of no way of judging the future but by the past.” The “past,” as the Founders knew it, was one shadowed by the threat of torture for any who disagreed with government policies. Torture in the form of “pillorying, disemboweling, decapitation, and drawing and quartering” was commonplace throughout Medieval Europe. Believing that inhumane punishments had no place in a nation founded upon the principle of liberty, the Founders enacted the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The colonists were also wary of authority figures and were particularly concerned about guarding against an abuse of power by such individuals. The Eighth Amendment spoke to this concern by prohibiting judges from imposing arbitrary punishments upon individuals who came before the court. In some countries, “disloyal or troublesome” citizens are jailed indefinitely on trumped-up charges. If they cannot pay their bail, they don’t get out."

Why Bail is Crucial Defendants who are not released on bail have greater difficulty preparing their defenses. They're effectively punished with imprisonment until their time of trial. Decisions regarding bail should not be made lightly. Bail is set extremely high or sometimes denied entirely when a defendant is charged with an extremely serious offense and/or if he poses a flight risk or great potential danger to the community. But in the majority of criminal trials, bail should be available and affordable. It's All About the Benjamins Civil libertarians tend to overlook fines, but the matter is not insignificant in a capitalist system. By their very nature, fines are anti-egalitarian. A $25,000 fine levied against an extremely wealthy defendant might only impact his discretionary income. A $25,000 fine levied against a less wealthy defendant can potentially have a long-term effect on basic medical care, educational opportunities, transportation and food security."

"text": "\"Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Confining Juveniles with Adults After Graham and Miller Andrea Wood ∗Abstract Thousands of juveniles are currently confined with adults in detention and correctional facilities throughout the United States. Juveniles confined in adult facilities face grave dangers to their safety and well-being, including significantly higher rates of physical assault, sexual abuse, and suicide than their counterparts in juvenile facilities. These dangers and other conditions of juvenile confinement with adults give rise to concerns of constitutional dimension. In its Eighth Amendment jurisprudence, the United States Supreme Court has created categorical rules prohibiting the imposition of certain punishments on entire categories of offenders as cruel and unusual punishment. The Court’s 2010 decision in Graham v. Florida, in which it held that a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole violates the Eighth Amendment when applied to juveniles convicted of nonhomicide offenses, and its 2012 decision in Miller v. Alabama, in which it held that mandatory life-without-parole sentencing schemes violate the Eighth Amendment when applied to juveniles, open the door to challenge the constitutionality of the confinement of juveniles with adults.

Oates was sentenced to imprisonment including an annual ordeal of being taken out for two days pillory plus one day of whipping while tied to a moving cart.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( July 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Horse in harness with horse collar A closeup of a horse harness. A horse with a breastcollar harness pulling a sleigh A horse harness is a type of horse tack that allows a horse or other equine to be driven and to pull various horse-drawn vehicles such as a carriage, wagon or sleigh. Harnesses may also be used to hitch animals to other loads such as a plow or canal boat. There are two main categories of horse harness: the \"\"breaststrap\"\" or \"\"breastcollar\"\" design, and the collar and hames design. For light work, such as horse show competition where light carts are used, a harness needs only a breastcollar. It can only be used for lighter hauling, since it places the weight of the load on the sternum of the horse and the nearby windpipe. This is not the heaviest skeletal area; also heavy loads can constrict the windpipe and reduce a horse's air supply."

Tack is a piece of equipment or accessory equipped on horses in the course of their use as domesticated animals. Saddles, stirrups, bridles, halters, reins, bits, harnesses, martingales, and breastplates are all forms of horse tack. Equipping a horse is often referred to as tacking up.

Saddles are seats for the rider, fastened to the horse's back by means of a girth (English-style riding), known as a cinch in the Western US, a wide strap that goes around the horse at a point about four inches behind the forelegs. Some western saddles will also have a second strap known as a flank or back cinch that fastens at the rear of the saddle and goes around the widest part of the horse's belly. [ 1]It is important that the saddle be comfortable for both the rider and the horse as an improperly fitting saddle may create pressure points on the horse's back muscle ( Latissimus dorsi) and cause the horse pain and can lead to the horse, rider, or both getting injured."

Opportunistic Infections Cryptosporidiosis Tweet Share Print Cryptosporidiosis, or “crypto” for short, is a disease caused by a group of organisms called Cryptosporidium. The organisms infect the lining of the small intestine and can cause severe diarrhea and malabsorption (an inability to absorb nutrients). Cryptosporidium is spread by feces. Food or water contaminated with animal feces may carry these organisms; it’s also possible that oral-anal sex may spread the infection. On occasion, there are outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis that can be traced to a feces-contaminated water supply. This is most common in warm-weather climates. While anybody exposed to Cryptosporidium can get sick from it, diarrhea and malabsorption is usually limited to a few days in people with healthy immune systems. People with compromised immune systems—usually people with a CD4 cell count below 100—may experience prolonged and severe bouts of diarrhea and malabsorption that can be difficult to treat. In rare cases, the infection can cause pancreatitis or lung infections. What are the symptoms, and how is it diagnosed?"

The parasite lives in the intestine of infected humans and animals. Chlorination and other methods of water purification will not kill Cryptosporidium, making it one of the most common causes of waterborne disease (recreational and drinking water) in the U. S. Crypto has also been responsible for outbreaks in child care settings, foodborne illness outbreaks associated with contaminated foods or ill food handlers, and through contact with livestock or animals at petting zoos. Between 2001 and 2008 in California there were over 2,000 reported cases of Crypto. How is cryptosporidiosis spread? Crypto is a contagious disease. When a person or animal infected with Crypto begins to have symptoms, millions of Crypto parasites are shed in their feces during a bowel movement. The shedding of the parasites can last for weeks after the symptoms stop. Crypto may be found in soil, food, water, or surfaces that have been contaminated with the feces from infected humans or animals."

From the 1920's-1960's, the bacillus which causes typhoid fever was considered a major problem in the water supply (1). Once it was eradicated, new microbes were present to take its place. In parts of the United States, concern is inreasing due to outbreaks of coliform bacteria, giardiasis, cryptosporidiosis, and hepatitis A (1,2,3). Some of these are bacteria, while others are viruses or protozoa . If you are on a public water supply system, and you are concerned about the possibility of microbial contamination, contact your water company. If you use a private water supply, have your water tested by a reputable lab. Treatments do exist for microbial contamination, but, it is important to know what is present before treatment is begun.

When bacteria, viruses and protozoa are exposed to the germicidal wavelengths of UV light, they are rendered incapable of reproducing and infecting. What is Ultraviolet (UV) Light? Ultraviolet (UV) light is a form of light that is invisible to the human eye. It occupies the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between X-rays and visible light. The sun emits ultraviolet light; however, much of it is absorbed by the earth’s ozone layer. A unique characteristic of UV light is that a specific range of its wavelengths, those between 200 and 300 nanometers (billionths of a meter), are categorized as germicidal – meaning they are capable of inactivating microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa. This capability has allowed widespread adoption of UV light as an environmentally friendly, chemical-free, and highly effective way to disinfect and safeguard water against harmful microorganisms.

Some bacteria live in and on our bodies and do not cause problems. Other kinds of bacteria (as well as parasites and viruses) can make us quite ill if they invade our bodies. Bacteria and viruses can live outside of the human body (for instance, on a countertop) sometimes for many hours or days. Parasites, however, require a living host in order to survive. Bacteria and parasites can usually be destroyed with antibiotics. On the other hand, antibiotics cannot kill viruses.

Members of the genus Cryptosporidium are parasites of the intestinal tracts of fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals. A number of researchers believe that to date 23 species of Cryptosporidium have been named, based on host occurrence. It seems, however, that members of this genus do not display a high degree of host specificity, so the number of species in this genus remains a matter of some discussion. Cryptosporidium isolated from humans is now referred to as C. parvum. Cryptosporidium infections have been reported from a variety of wild and domesticated animals and in the last six or seven years, literally hundreds of human infections have been reported, including epidemics in several major urban areas in the United States. Cryptosporidiosis is now recognized as an important opportunistic infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts. In birds, C. baileyi and C. meleagridis as well as C. parvum have been reported."

"text": "Health & Wellness Jun 19, 2017Drinking Water Safety for Travelers Independent Traveler See recent posts by Independent Traveler Nothing ruins a good trip like getting sick — and we’re not talking about a few extra bathroom stops. Contaminated drinking water is one of the leading sources of health problems for travelers, and can cause anything from mild gastrointestinal distress to serious bacterial diseases. The most common cause of water-borne illness is bacteria, such as E. coli, cholera and salmonella, but illness can also be caused by protozoa (including giardia and cryptosporidium), viruses (like hepatitis A, polio and rotavirus) and chemical pollutants. In many cases, travelers become ill simply because the pathogens in the water are foreign to their immune systems, while locals have adapted to the water supply and can drink it without problems. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid local tap water and instead seek out bottled water; when that’s not available, boiling tap water generally kills most micro-organisms, and there are a number of good water filters and purification tablets that can easily be stowed in your carry-on. Read on for tips on how to keep yourself safe drinking water on your next trip. Know the Risks Mexico is well known for its unsafe drinking water (Montezuma’s revenge, anyone? ), but travelers also face high risk in Central America, most of Africa and Asia, and the Middle East. Drinking water is generally safest in developed areas of the world like the U. S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Northern and Western Europe, many parts of the Caribbean, and Japan. Keep in mind that water quality may vary depending on where you are in a particular country."

Hitula); and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm (J. Lindh)Cite This Article Abstract In November 2010, ≈27,000 (≈45%) inhabitants of Östersund, Sweden, were affected by a waterborne outbreak of cryptosporidiosis. The outbreak was characterized by a rapid onset and high attack rate, especially among young and middle-aged persons. Young age, number of infected family members, amount of water consumed daily, and gluten intolerance were identified as risk factors for acquiring cryptosporidiosis. Also, chronic intestinal disease and young age were significantly associated with prolonged diarrhea. Identification of Cryptosporidium hominis subtype Ib A10G2 in human and environmental samples and consistently low numbers of oocysts in drinking water confirmed insufficient reduction of parasites by the municipal water treatment plant. The current outbreak shows that use of inadequate microbial barriers at water treatment plants can have serious consequences for public health. This risk can be minimized by optimizing control of raw water quality and employing multiple barriers that remove or inactivate all groups of pathogens. Protozoan parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium can cause gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals ( 1 ). Twenty-six species and >60 genotypes have been identified ( 2 ). C. parvum and C. hominis are the most prevalent species that infect humans ( 1, 3 )."

However, all can be lost in the blink of an eye if you do not pay enough attention to the people that put you there – your customers. Good customer service is vital to the life of any business, and it's not just about keeping customers happy. It's also about tending to the unhappy ones and addressing their complaints. Spas and salons will do anything to attract new customers – promotions, coupons, new exquisite services… you name it! However, once the customers are through the door, the task is not complete. If you want to catch, keep, and build your customers so they value you above all others in the spa marketplace, you must pay attention to the three Cs of customer service: Communication, courtesy, and criticism. Communication Your clients are bombarded with advertisements, offers, and discounts from competing spas and salons. To reel them in and keep them, you must offer extra value and communicate that value effectively. It's more than just regular advertisements."

"text": "Long half-life ≠ dangerous26th October halflife, nuclear, safety Nuclear waste is often quoted as having a “half-life of millions of years” as if this is a bad thing in and of itself. * But there’s another way of looking at it. Radioactive decay occurs when an unstable atom emits either a helium nucleus, a high-speed electron, an electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray or more rarely one of a number of other possibilities. Being in the way of these emitted particles and waves is generally considered to be a Very Bad Idea. Radioactive decay occurs at random, with each atom having a chance of decaying at any given moment. The more likely it is that atoms decay, the quicker they decay, and the shorter their half-life. Imagine the radioactive atoms are ammunition cartridges; when they decay the cartridge “goes off” and a bullet is released. Now imagine you’re standing next to two piles of cartridges representing some nuclear waste: one pile with a short half-life and one pile with a long half-life The bullets in the short half-life pile will go off over a short period of time, and the bullets in the long half-life pile will go off over a longer period of time. Which pile would be safer to stand next to? Caesium-135 and caesium-137 are both common isotopes found in nuclear waste: Cs-135 is formed when xenon-135 produced as a fission fragment decays by beta emission; and Cs-137 is formed as a fission fragment itself (a uranium nucleus splits to form one caesium-137 and one rubidium-98 nucleus)."

"text": "How Adobe CS5.5 Subscriptions Work – and Where They Don’t3 comments With the release of CS5.5, Adobe is adding an additional option for purchasing the Creative Suite line of products… Presently, there exists Commercial, Education, and Volume choices, which continue as before – and now there are Subscriptions as well, for CS5.5 (only). The customer alignments are as follows: Commercial – For home and home office Education – For students, teachers and staff Volume – For more than one copy, and businesses Subscriptions – For time-limited licensing The subscription editions are rather like renting the software for a set period. You download and install the CS5.5 software on your computer as normal (it’s not online or cloud-based), but instead of paying a single price up-front to use the product forever, you pay 5% to 7.5% of the regular cost per month to use it. While the subscription remains active, you have access to the latest version of the software as well as CS Live online services. Then if/when you cancel or stop paying, the product stops working on the installed computer (s), ceasing access to your Adobe project or data files. You can contract on a month-to-month or on a yearly basis, and in both cases your credit card is charged monthly – although with an annual commitment, the monthly fees are less. The product runs with all features and functions just like the full version but needs to “phone home” online at least once per month to validate the subscription status. The monthly subscriptions can be stopped and restarted as needed by the month, whereas if you cancel your annual plan before the year is out, early termination fees apply. Pricing however is not cast in stone. Per their subscription terms, “Adobe may at any time, upon notice required by applicable law, change the price of your subscription or any part thereof, or institute new charges or fees."

With a weak 150-lb lifting capacity, a surprisingly light frame, and only one desktop size available, this desk comes in at the low end of electrically adjustable sit/stand desks. Consistent user reports of DOA failures or, in the best case, failure after a few days or weeks of use, compel us to give this product an unprecedented half-star rating. For only $170 to $200 more you can find a desk with much stronger, quieter and faster motors, and a tabletop that'll last much longer, look much nicer, and stand up better to cuts, dings and chemicals. Warranty10 years Lift Type Electric Controller Basic Up/Down Switch Sizes Available Just one- 63\"\" wide by 31.5\"\" deep Maximum Height48\"\"Weight Capacity154 lbs. Where to Buy Where to Buy Positives Extremely cheap in basic configuration. 10 year warranty. Negatives Eerily consistent user reports of field failures within days or weeks of installation. The Bekant's specs are disappointing, to say the least. The meager 150lb maximum lift capacity is insufficient to counter the side loading on a typical user's computer workstation."

With these refrigerated systems the fan coil unit is mounted inside the room (indoor unit), and the compressor is placed on a flat surface or wall mounted outdoors (outdoor unit). Wall split system air conditioning (commonly shortened to split system air conditioning) has the indoor unit mounted on a wall. They are reliable, easy to install and are the most affordable type of split system air conditioner. Multiple split system air conditioning (or multi-heads) comprise several wall split devices powered by a single outdoor unit. They are an ideal whole of home heating and cooling solution when a ducted system cannot be installed. Cassette split system air conditioning is designed for installation into narrow false ceilings – the only part of the indoor unit visible after installation is a decorative fascia. The indoor unit doesn’t take up valuable wall or floor space, and, depending on the model, delivers two or four-way air flow. About Air and Water Residential Air and Water Residential supply and install a range of quality split systems. We are always up front about what is included in the price – often cheap specials include minimal electrical wiring or refrigeration pipe."

Place the candles on a clean, flat, heat resistant surface 3 - 6 inches apart. This area should be clearly visible from your work space as the candles must not be left unattended while lit. Light the candles and record the time. It is critical to keep an eye on the candles while they are burning especially when testing new wicks. After 2 hours record the details of the melt pool and wick appearance. Ideally the melt pool will achieve the desired diameter* by that point. If it hasn't, the wick is most likely too small. Note any soot or mushrooming on the wick."

I remember this in my CCNA studies, but it doesn't come to me. I'm researching it, also, in the meantime. Thanks.-->/usr Senior Member Join Date Dec 2003Location West Virginia Posts 1,77809-29-2010 04:16 PM #2I suppose the first troubleshooting step to verify a loop would be traffic capturing. You could make a safe assumption based on which segments are experiencing throughput issues, based on user feedback or abnormal activity LED's, but the only sure way that I know of is to capture duplicate frames. The first plan of action is to break the loop, or manually disable all redundant network paths, then re-enable them one at a time, hopefully finding the cause of the loop in the process. Other people might chime in with other, more valuable input.tierstenwas here. Join Date Apr 2008Posts 4,50409-29-2010 05:04 PM #3Why don't you have STP enabled? :"

A work group, consisting of AABB members who also represent the following blood organizations: America’s Blood Centers (ABC), American Red Cross (ARC), and the Armed Services Blood Program, was formed to analyze the issues listed in the Federal Register notice, Request for Comments on the Security and Continued Use of Cesium-137 Chloride Sources and Notice of Public Meeting, July 31, 2008. Additional comments/statements will be submitted on behalf of the other blood organizations which we support. AABB is an international association dedicated to advancing transfusion and cellular therapies worldwide. Our members include more than 1,800 hospital and community blood centers and transfusion and transplantation services as well as approximately 8,000 individuals involved in activities related to transfusion, cellular therapies and transplantation medicine. For over 50 years, AABB has established voluntary standards for, and accredited institutions involved in, these activities. AABB is focused on improving health through the advancement of science and the practice of transfusion medicine and related biological therapies, and developing and delivering programs and services to optimize patient and donor care and safety. Blood components are irradiated to prevent transfusion associated-graft-versus-host disease (TAGVHD) for white blood cells in cellular blood components such as red cells or platelets. Once established, TAGVHD is usually fatal and untreatable. While not all patients require irradiated blood, those whose immune systems are compromised or receiving blood from immunologically similar donors, such as family members, are at particular risk of this complication."

"text": "\"How to Accurately Calculate Your Customer or Member Retention Rate Written by Joshua Paul | @Joshua_D_Paul on March 6, 2014 at 11:42 AMTweet Where do you spend more of your time \"\"” discussing how to get more customers or members \"\"” or how to keep the customers or members that you have? According to Google over the past decade, we, as a society, clearly spend more of our time looking for ways to grow our organizations than we do trying to keep our current customers or members. With all of the time, resources, and money you put into acquiring your customers or members, it is important to know that your efforts aren't wasted when customers don't stick around. Understanding your customer retention rate is one of the best ways to measure how successfully your company or organization is maintaining customer relationships. On a more granular level, you need to know which types of customer you are keeping and at which point in the relationships customer or members might leave, so that you can identify problematic issues and make necessary adjustments. There are a lot of things that businesses and membership organizations can do to improve customer or member retention, from personal outreach programs to boosting engagement and the value your customers/members are receiving using your organization's private online community. Before we get into strategies and tactics, you must start with the basics of customer retention and how to effectively measure it. Just How Important IS Customer or Member Retention? It's a common assumption in the marketing world that it costs more money to get new customers than to keep the ones you currently have. According to a recent study by social media marketing software provider, Flowtown, that's even more evident than we've always suspected."

"text": "Home | Consumers | Legal Issues For Consumers | Mechanics Lien | How To Prevent A Mechanics Lien Tweet How to Prevent a Mechanics Lien Carefully Choose Your Contractor Hire only licensed contractors and check the contractor's license status on CSLB's website. Make sure your contractor hires only licensed subcontractors, and check their licenses. Check your direct (prime) contractor's reputation for paying subcontractors and materials suppliers, and check for lawsuits at the local courthouse. Get a list of all subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers to be used by your direct contractor. Make Sure Your Written Contract Includes: A payment schedule that states when specific phases of the work start and end, and the price for each segment;Identification of subcontractors or laborers for each segment; and Identification of material suppliers. Keep Track of Paperwork Preliminary Notice A Preliminary Notice is required from subcontractors and suppliers if there is a chance they may need to file a lien. The notice states that the subcontractor or supplier has provided, or will provide, goods and services to improve your property and could file a lien claim if they are not paid. If subcontractors and suppliers don't provide you with the notice, they lose the right to file a lien. NOTE: This notice is not required from laborers or the direct contractor. TIP: Save Preliminary Notices and note the date received so you can keep track of who is owed money and when they are paid."

Timothy Kautz16:07, 05 February 2016 75637Those of you who read our posts regularly know that we are a small, U. S. Veteran-Owned business in Southern California, and pride ourselves on giving people straight, honest answers to their questions – and there’s no question that makes people cringe more than asking, “ what does a new HVAC installation cost ?” Oddly enough, most contractors keep their air conditioning installation cost a closely guarded secret, as if the knowledge of how much it should cost will in some way change your decision when you have to make a call. I will tell you, that the fair price of an HVAC installation will vary greatly based on the type of heating and air conditioning system installed, as well as the options needed or desired (Ductwork included? Zoning system?). In this article, we’ll discuss the five system features that affect HVAC installation cost, fair price ranges you can expect to pay for your new system, we will then perform an example calculation of how you can calculate a fair price, and finally, what you can do to keep from getting ripped off on your new HVAC installation price. Tip: Don’t buy a new heating and air conditioning system until you troubleshoot first!"

"text": "‘Borrowing’ a Contractor’s License, Qualifiers & NV License Posted on March 12, 2012 by Capitol Services Despite what a contractor may believe is the right direction, misinformation about their contractor’s license can often lead to a ‘dead end’. Like the ‘GPS’ of contractor’s licensing law we can help you get to your destination. Another contractor needs expert ‘directions’ to Nevada…Q: I have some work opportunities coming up, but need a California contractor’s license. Is it legal to work under my father’s contractor’s license using my own business name? Since he is the sole owner of his business, would he need to get Worker’s Comp Insurance if I use his license? And would I need to buy my own liability insurance or would the work fall under his? Any direction and advice in this regard would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. A: Sorry, but you cannot use your father’s license number. State law prohibits an individual to loan or give their license to another person."

"text": "13 Jun Non-Contract Commercial Surety Bonds Posted at 11:10h in Commercial, Commercial Insurance Blog by Stone Creek Editor Non-Contract Commercial Surety Bonds Commercial surety refers to the balance of surety that is not Contract Surety (Performance and Payment Bonds). This includes License & Permit; Public Official; Court Bonds; Probate (Fiduciary); and Financial Guarantee. Non-Contract Commercial Surety Bonds -License & Permit Bonds Required to obtain a license or permit in many Cities, Counties, States and/or Other Political Subdivisions. Good examples of these types of bonds are California’s Contractors State License Board (CSLB) Bond of $12,500; Nevada Contractor’s License Bond; California Farm Labor Contractor License Bond; California Car Wash Bond; Sales and Use Tax Bonds; Wine Bond; Direct Shipper Bonds; Warehouse Bond; and Certificate of Title Bond. These bonds are required for a business license, so any person who has a transaction with those businesses can be reasonably assured of the following: • The business can do what the license states. • Will comply with the codes, and/or laws that the bond is required. • For the benefit of employees who have not been paid wages due them. ( CSLB, NV Contractor License Bond, CA Car Wash Bond, etc.) Or, • Remit taxes (Sales and Tax Bonds). In other posts will get into a little more detail of these types of bonds and how the underwriting process begins."

"text": "Home | Contractors | New C-22 Asbestos Abatement Classification Tweet New C-22 Asbestos Abatement Classification The new C-22 Asbestos Abatement contractor classification became effective on January 1, 2015. This section provides comprehensive information about the new classification, including how it differs from the existing asbestos certification, as defined in Section 7058.5 of the Business and Professions Code (BPC), which continues to exist and function as an overlay to the licensing classification (s) held by a contractor. The C-22 Asbestos Abatement classification does not replace the existing §7058.5 asbestos certification. A contractor can hold either of these asbestos abatement work authorizations, depending on the contractor’s individual business and licensure needs. C-22 Classification Description An asbestos abatement contractor performs abatement, including containment, encapsulation, or removal, and disposal of asbestos containing construction materials, as defined in Section 6501.8 of the Labor Code, in and on buildings and structures. All work performed and all documentation prepared by an asbestos abatement contractor shall be done in accordance with regulations and requirements of the Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH). The C-22 Asbestos Abatement contractor classification operates as a stand-alone specialty contractor classification for asbestos abatement work, regardless of any other classification (s) that may be held by the licensed contractor, and functions within the scope of the contractor’s DOSH registration. DOSH Registration CSLB shall not issue a C-22 Asbestos Abatement contractor license unless the applicant or contractor is duly registered with DOSH, pursuant to Labor Code §6501.5, or has an active application for registration in process with DOSH. If the applicant does not yet have proof of DOSH registration, CSLB shall issue the license (provided all other requirements are met), but will require the contractor to submit to CSLB proof that he or she is duly registered with DOSH within 90 days after the C-22 Asbestos Abatement contractor license is issued or the classification is added. In such cases, no asbestos abatement work shall be performed until the contractor has submitted proof to CSLB of his or her DOSH registration."

Wiremen are generally trained in one of five primary specialties: commercial, residential, light industrial, industrial, and low-voltage wiring, more commonly known as Voice-Data-Video, or VDV. Other sub-specialties such as control wiring and fire-alarm may be performed by specialists trained in the devices being installed, or by inside wiremen.

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

On February 3, 2016 someone impersonated Magnolia's CEO (Kenny Moyle) by sending a spoofed email. The email appeared to have the proper address, naming scheme, and by all accounts looked legitimate. The forged email requested personal information for all active employees of Magnolia and each of the facilities managed by them, including Twin Oaks Assisted Living, Inc., Twin Oaks Rehabilitation And Nursing Center, Inc., Porterville Convalescent, Inc., Kaweah Manor, Inc. and Merritt Manor, Inc. The Phishing attack was successful, and the attacker walked away with an Excel spreadsheet containing employee number, full name, address (city, state, zip) sex, date of birth, Social Security Number, hire date, seniority date, salary/hourly status, salary/rate, department, job title, last date paid, and assigned facility. The attack wasn't discovered until February 10. The type of Phishing attack that targeted Magnolia would be classified as BEC, or Business Email Compromise / Correspondence.

C.clarified whether contract employees working for the federalgovernment have standing to file disability discriminationcomplaints under the Rehabilitation Act of 1972. In United Government Security Officers of America v. U. S. Marshals Service, No. 01-1484 (GK) (D. D. C. Sep. 11, 2006), the districtcourt found that court security officers (“CSOs”) workingfor a private contractor had standing to file EEO complaintsagainst the Marshals Service because the Marshals Serviceacted as a “joint employer” to the CSOs. The judge concludedthat the private employer and the Marshals Service werejoint employers because they both shared decisions concerningthe “essential terms and conditions of employment. ”In their complaint, the CSOs alleged that the Marshals Serviceviolated the Rehabilitation Act when the Marshals Servicedisqualified them from employment after they failed medicalfitness-for-duty standards in effect in 2001. In decidingthat the CSOs could proceed in their case against the Marshals Service, the judge examined the level of controlthe Marshals Service had over the terms and conditionsof the CSOs’ employment. The judge considered variousfactors in comparing the level of control exercised bythe private employers and the Marshals Service. First, the judge found that private employers conductedinitial screening of CSO candidates and forwardedpotentially eligible CSOs to the Marshals Service for amore thorough background check. The private employers alsopaid salaries, provided benefits, withheld taxes,maintained time and attendance, and terminated CSOs attheir discretion. On the other hand, the Marshals Servicealso exerted significant authority over CSOs."

Bazalgette Tunnel Limited (BTL) is the licensed 'Infrastructure Provider' set up to finance, build, maintain and operate the Thames Tideway Tunnel. BTL is a consortium of investors that comprises Allianz, Amber Infrastructure, Dalmore Capital and DIF. From the licence award, BTL trades and is known to the public as 'Tideway'. On 3 November 2015, BTL received its operating licence from Ofwat, ensuring the start of the project. [ 1]Starting in 2016, construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel will take seven to eight years, giving a target completion date of 2023.

It will connect 34 of the most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs), via transfer tunnels, and is expected to reduce the number of overflow events to a maximum of four per CSO per year at time of commissioning, increasing gradually due to effects of climate change and population growth.

A Co-convener of the group, Mr Ezenwa Nwagwu, made this known when the organisation paid a courtesy call on Mr Garba Abari, the Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Abuja. Nwagwu said that the group was worried about the level of corruption and impunity going on in the country. According to him, the Federal Government’s fight against corruption should be a collective one. He urged Nigerians to support President Muhammadu Buhari in his fight against corruption to enable it succeed. Nwagwu said the people needed to be involved in the fight against corruption because they were the victims that suffered the consequences of it. “If you go to the North-East for instance, there are people taking advantage of the misfortunes of other citizens. “People are sharing away donations meant to preserve lives. “Even people who have been kept to protect the victims in camps rape them, and in spite of the government’s directive to fish out the perpetrators, none has been caught. “As we speak, 1,900 public properties, and government projects amounting to trillions of naira have been abandoned across the country."

It is our hope that if you are a Principal Investigator for a government contract that involves classified information that you will work directly with the official Grants and Contracts Representative for your contract and with the NMSU Facility Security Officer. You can use this module to understand your current DD 254 or to learn how to collaborate and make appropriate recommendations for a new buisiness opportunity with the government.

A symphony can range from 40 minutes ( works by Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart) to over an hour and a half ( Gustav Mahler and Anton Bruckner). Other pieces, also played by a symphony orchestra, but not necessarily symphonies, can also last from a few minutes up to an hour. Saunter down to your local music store, and dare to go into the classical section. Check out the recording times on the back of the Cd's, each work is generally given a listing of how long it lasts. The times will be different depending on what kind of work it is, and who the composer is. When most of these pieces were written, there were no recording companies or radio to tell the people they had a 3 minute limit per song."

Corporations are not only working to protect facilities and staff from a variety of hazards and criminal threats but are also concerned about the integrity of their information systems. Many businesses now employ high-level executives known as chief security officers to see to their security needs. Chief Security Officers As the CSO Online website observes, \"\"chief security officer\"\" means what it sounds like. Broadly, a CSO is the highest-level executive directly responsible for an organization's entire security function. Increasingly, CSOs are not only responsible for their organizations' physical security needs but also their digital or electronic security requirements, including computer networks. Originally a title used to designate the person most responsible for information technology security, the new CSO executive looks at all threats and institutes appropriate security programs. Because IT is now considered to be an area of vulnerability for companies, some are now using the title \"\"chief information security officer, or CISO, instead. Chief Security Officer Role A CSO is the executive whose ultimate role is to ensure that an organization's security function adds value and gives it a competitive advantage. A major part of a CSO's role within an organization is to help forge strong and secure connections between departments."

Employers strongly favor students that clerk for judges and aggressively recruit individuals that have held a clerkship. In fact, many firms will give students one to two years “credit” toward the firm’s requirement to make partner if they complete a judicial clerkship before beginning work with the firm. Law schools also strongly favor professor candidates that have held a judicial clerkship. Clerking for a judge will open many doors in the legal community. One advantage of clerking is the insight it provides into the judicial process. A clerkship provides a student first-hand knowledge of how the court works and what a judge does on the bench. This learning experience gives valuable insight into those issues the judge finds interesting. A clerk is exposed to judicial proceedings, performing legal research, preparing bench memoranda, and drafting orders and opinions. These skills are invaluable to anyone planning to practice law or teach."

They could invest the money in assets that will compound over time and someday provide a nest egg. Instead, they trade that money for a diamond ring, which isn’t much of an asset at all. As soon as you leave the jeweler with a diamond, it loses over 50 percent of its value. Americans exchange diamond rings as part of the engagement process, because in 1938 De Beers decided that they would like us to. Prior to a stunningly successful marketing campaign 1938, Americans occasionally exchanged engagement rings, but wasn’t a pervasive occurrence.

For the more contemporary sewer system for carrying waste, see sanitary sewer. For the street runoff drainage system, see storm drain. Combined sewer system. During dry weather (and small storms), all flows are handled by the publicly owned treatment works (POTW). During large storms, the relief structure allows some of the combined stormwater and sewage to be discharged untreated to an adjacent water body. A combined sewer is a sewage collection system of pipes and tunnels designed to also collect surface runoff. This type of gravity sewer design is no longer used in building new communities (because current design separates sanitary sewers from runoff), but many older cities continue to operate combined sewers. [ 1]Combined sewers can cause serious water pollution problems during combined sewer overflow ( CSO) events when wet weather flows exceed the sewage treatment plant capacity. The discharges contain human and industrial waste, and can cause beach closures, restrictions on shellfish consumption and contamination of drinking water sources. ["

"text": "\"Administrative Law and Procedure Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia . Administrative Law and Procedure Administrative law is the body of law that allows for the creation of public regulatory agencies andcontains all of the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern them. It is created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations,orders, and decisions. Administrative procedure constitutes the methods and processes beforeadministrative agencies, as distinguished from judicial procedure, which applies to courts. The Administrative Procedure Act (5U. S. C. A. §§ 551–706 [Supp. 1993]) governs the practice andproceedings before federal administrative agencies. The procedural rules and regulations of mostfederal agencies are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The fundamental challenge of administrative law is in designing a system of checks that willminimize the risks of bureaucratic arbitrariness and overreaching, while preserving for the agenciesthe flexibility that they need in order to act effectively. Administrative law thus seeks to limit thepowers and actions of agencies and to fix their place in our scheme of government and law. It contrasts with traditional notions that the three branches of the U. S. government must be keptseparate, that they must not delegate their responsibilities to bureaucrats, and that the formalities of due process must be observed."

"text": "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Disability Insurance Claim Assistance 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 / 5:36Since carpal tunnel is a common syndrome, some disability carriers will tell disability claimants that they should undergo surgery to alleviate their pain and resulting disability. While the majority of courts have ruled that a claimant is not required to submit for a surgery, disability insurance companies continue to argue that a claimant is not complying with the appropriate care provision if they do not submit for a carpal tunnel surgery. Most disability companies will require objective evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome which can be obtained through an EMG test, nerve conduction study, or ultrasound (which is a newer method for detecting carpal tunnel). Many claimants are diagnosed with carpal tunnel, but it is important to rule out other conditions which could cause similar symptoms. A survey of 400 American hand surgeons reported that each surgeon performed an average of 65 operations for carpal tunnel syndrome per year. Our disability insurance lawyers have helped hundreds of disability claimants seek the short and long term disability benefits since 1979. We have worked with the some of the world’s best doctors that are experts in dealing with carpal tunnel. Insurance providers will use any excuse they can to deny your claim and save a few bucks in the process. We know the tricks they use, and we can help you to prove that your valid medical concern deserves the benefits that you paid for."

As a result, there are many great options for CNA classes in CT. Part of the reason for this increase in need for CNA’s is due to the age of the baby boomer population. As so many from this large group reach geriatric status, more and more people are being placed in nursing homes or long term care facilities. These facilities depend on CNA’s to assist residents in daily care activates and monitoring of patient’s medical status. In Connecticut this need is forecasted to continue over the ten years or so. It is a great time for students who are looking to get into a medical career quickly to consider starting CNA classes in CT. Get Certified with CNA Classes in Connecticut Once you have chosen a Connecticut State approved CNA training program and enrolled, you will begin the CNA classes in CT to work towards certification. In this time you will learn all about CNA jobs in Connecticut and what they entail. The CNA training program will be a minimum of 100 hours."

A declarant is considered to be unavailable as a witness if the declarant: (1) is exempted from testifying about the subject matter of the declarant’s statement because the court rules that a privilege applies; (2) refuses to testify about the subject matter despite a court order to do so; (3) testifies to not remembering the subject matter; (4) cannot be present or testify at the trial or hearing because of death or a then-existing infirmity, physical illness, or mental illness; or (5) is absent from the trial or hearing and the statement’s proponent has not been able, by process or other reasonable means, to procure: (A) the declarant’s attendance, in the case of a hearsay exception under Rule 804 (b) (1) or (6); or (B) the declarant’s attendance or testimony, in the case of a hearsay exception under Rule 804 (b) (2), (3), or (4). But this subdivision (a) does not apply if the statement’s proponent procured or wrongfully caused the declarant’s unavailability as a witness in order to prevent the declarant from attending or testifying. ( b) The Exceptions. The following are not excluded by the rule against hearsay if the declarant is unavailable as a witness: (1)Former Testimony. Testimony that: (A) was given as a witness at a trial, hearing, or lawful deposition, whether given during the current proceeding or a different one; and (B) is now offered against a party who had — or, in a civil case, whose predecessor in interest had — an opportunity and similar motive to develop it by direct, cross-, or redirect examination. ( 2)Statement Under the Belief of Imminent Death. In a prosecution for homicide or in a civil case, a statement that the declarant, while believing the declarant’s death to be imminent, made about its cause or circumstances. ( 3)Statement Against Interest. A statement that: (A) a reasonable person in the declarant’s position would have made only if the person believed it to be true because, when made, it was so contrary to the declarant’s proprietary or pecuniary interest or had so great a tendency to invalidate the declarant’s claim against someone else or to expose the declarant to civil or criminal liability; and (B) is supported by corroborating circumstances that clearly indicate its trustworthiness, if it is offered in a criminal case as one that tends to expose the declarant to criminal liability.

Democracies have long grappled with the issue of the limits, if any, to place on the expression of ideas and beliefs.

The Framers of the Constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and expression to the citizens of the United States with the First Amendment, which reads, in part, \"\"Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech.\"\" Almost since the adoption of the Bill of Rights, however, thejudiciary has struggled to define speech and expression and the extent to which freedom of speechshould be protected. Some, like Justice hugo l. black, have believed that freedom of speech is absolute. But most jurists, along with most U.

"text": "When Legal Concepts Collide: Custody, Guardianship, and Minnesota Law Posted Apr 13 2015 by Michael P. Boulette & Robert A. Mcleod in Articles with 0 Comments For decades, family law and guardianship have existed as distinct legal regimes with very different purposes. But recent changes to Minnesota child support laws have set them at odds with each other, with sometimes disastrous results for families whose children have disablities. Collisions are messy. When cars or trains or planes collide, the outcome is noisy, painful, and often disastrous. But recently, another sort of collision has taken place almost entirely without notice: the collision between two well-established bodies of Minnesota law. For decades, family law and guardianship have existed as distinct legal regimes with very different purposes. However, as the result of statutory amendments that accompanied a change in Minnesota’s child support laws, these two regimes have now collided with all the painful and disastrous outcomes the term implies. The essence of the current conflict has long been simmering beneath the surface of what it means to have “custody” of a child as compared to “guardianship” of that same child once he or she becomes an adult. While these have long been discrete concepts, they may not stay that way for long, particularly for divorced parents who have children with disabilities. Custody Versus Guardianship In any divorce or child custody proceeding, a court must decide who will have legal and physical custody of the parties’ minor children."

Concrete injury may be tangible or intangible, but particularly when a statute creates the possibility of a “procedural” violation, the plaintiff must establish a harm sufficiently “concrete” to satisfy Article III.

Spokeo operates an online “people search engine” that collects information from sources such as phone books, real estate listings and social media networks and makes it available to those who search Spokeo's database.

"text": "\"Psychiatry: Force of Law by James B. Gottstein, Esq. November, 2002The purpose of this article is to set forth just the basic legal principles, underpinnings and practices employed in the widespread use of legal force to compel unwilling patients into locked psychiatric hospitals and, most importantly, force brain damaging drugs and other brain damaging treatments such as Electroshock upon them over their desperate, but hopeless objections. The companion article, Unwarranted Court Ordered Medication: A Call to Action, describes what might be done about it and this article is really background for that one. In addition, there are a number of excellent law review articles on the subject, a small sampling of which are listed at the end of this article. The impetus for this article is the realization that the scientific basis for these forced treatments is non-existent and they are permanently damaging hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. No other field of medicine allows this sort of forced treatment. Of course, there are many people who see psychiatrists and voluntarily, even eagerly, take psychiatric medications. This article has absolutely no complaint about this. It is unwarranted forced treatment that is being addressed. This article also does not address the issue of somewhat more subtle coercion such as \"\"if you don't take the medication, we will take your housing away from you\"\" or \"\"if you don't take your medication, we will have you committed to the mental hospital.\"\""

Meisel Friday, Feb. 25, 2011Tweet Read Later Robb Kendrick / Aurora Creative / Getty Images Email Print Share Reprints Follow @TIMEAdvanced radiology tests such as CT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds have dramatically changed how patients are diagnosed and treated. Just a decade ago, patients were still being subjected to exploratory surgery, in which a surgeon cuts open the abdomen to look for problems; today, CT scans allow doctors to make diagnoses without a scalpel. CTs and MRIs routinely change the course of medical care, often for the better. But their use has become so routine that their lifesaving benefits are being increasingly overshadowed by the risks of overuse. Medical imaging is the fastest-growing source of cost inflation ( see PDF) in the Medicare program. Meanwhile, the real value of so much testing has been widely questioned in scientific literature: imaging rates are going up, but doctors are not diagnosing (or necessarily misdiagnosing) more diseases. ( See the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2010. ) The potential risks to patients are also well known. CT scans expose patients to a substantial amount of radiation, which can increase the risk of cancer over time. More testing also means more false positives, more unnecessary invasive procedures, more patient stress and higher costs."

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

"text": "\"CHAPTER 2ORGANIZATION AND CAPABILITIESTank and mechanized infantry battalions are organized to fight and win the nation's wars, but they are equally capable of operating in an unstable environment as part of a joint task force or multinational force. The battalion task force combines the efforts of its combat, combat support, and combat service support elements to perform tactical missions as part of a brigade or division operation. The key to victory is to mass the combat power of the company teams quickly while integrating and synchronizing the combat support and combat service support combat multipliers. A task force can be a temporary grouping of units under one commander, formed for the purpose of carrying out a specific operation or mission, or a TF can be a semipermanent organization of units under one commander for the purpose of carrying out a continuing specific task. Units, regardless of attachments, may be designated as \"\"task forces\"\" whenever they are on a semi-independent mission. A battalion-size unit of the combat arms is called a \"\"battalion task force\"\" when one or more company-size units from another combat arms unit (or from a combat support unit) are attached. Section I. ORGANIZATION, CAPABILITIES, AND LIMITATIONSMechanized infantry battalion task forces and tank battalion task forces organize, equip, and train to accomplish comparable missions. Across the spectrum of operations, there is an overlap in which both tank and mechanized and light forces can operate. The use of a mixed force in this overlap takes advantage of the strengths of both forces and offsets their respective weaknesses. ( Refer to Appendix A for a detailed discussion of heavy and light forces integration and operations.)"

The Grand Anse Declaration [1] had three key Features: Deepening economic integration by advancing beyond a common market towards a Single Market and Economy. Widening the membership and thereby expanding the economic mass of the Caribbean Community (e.g. Suriname and Haiti were admitted as full members in 1995 and 2002 respectively). Progressive insertion of the region into the global trading and economic system by strengthening trading links with non-traditional partners.

Sims III 2, Rimma Belotserkovskaya 2, and Danny Reinberg 1, 2, 3+ Author Affiliations1Howard Hughes Medical Institute and 2Division of Nucleic Acids Enzymology, Department of Biochemistry, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, USANext Section Abstract Appreciable advances into the process of transcript elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) have identified this stage as a dynamic and highly regulated step of the transcription cycle. Here, we discuss the many factors that regulate the elongation stage of transcription. Our discussion includes the classical elongation factors that modulate the activity of RNAP II, and the more recently identified factors that facilitate elongation on chromatin templates. Additionally, we discuss the factors that associate with RNAP II, but do not modulate its catalytic activity. Elongation is highlighted as a central process that coordinates multiple stages in m RNA biogenesis and maturation. Keywords Elongation transcription RNA polymerase II chromatin CTDPrevious Section Next Section The regulation of gene expression is one of the most intensely studied areas in all of science. Differential gene expression in multicellular organisms forms the foundation of cell-type specificity. Deregulation of the appropriate pattern of gene expression has profound effects on cellular function and underlies many diseases. Although there are many cellular processes that control gene expression, the most direct regulation occurs during transcription. The transcription of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes is performed by RNA polymerase II (RNAP II)."

"text": "\"B M B 400, Part Three Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis Lecture Notes Overview of Part Three: The pathway of gene expression Recall the Central Dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is translated into protein. We will cover the material in that order, since that is the direction that information flows. However, there are additional steps, in particular the primary transcript is frequently a precursor molecule that is processed into a mature RNA. E.g., the r RNA genes are transcribed into pre‑r RNA, that is cleaved, methylated and modified to produce mature r RNA. Many m RNAs, especially in eukarytoes, are derived from pre‑m RNAs by splicing and other processing events. This general topic will be covered after transcription and before translation. Fig. 3.1.1CHAPTER 10= PART THREE-I. TRANSCRIPTION: RNA polymerase A. RNA polymerase catalyzes the DNA‑dependent synthesis of RNA1. RNA polymerase requires DNA as a template. In duplex DNA, the template strand of DNA is copied into RNA by RNA polymerase."

"text": "\"Connective Tissue Disease There are many different diseases that are considered on the list of connective tissue diseases. These are diseases such as SLE (lupus), RA (rheumatoid arthritis), and Sjögren syndrome just to name a few. There are a significant amount of people who have a connective tissue disease, but do not fit the criteria for diseases like lupus but suffer greatly and have an alike illness. When people say they have a lupus like disease they are usually talking about what doctors call an Undifferentiated Connective-Tissue Disease or UCTD. This does not mean that this person does not have a diagnosis, it just means that they have a different but alike disease. There is also a group of diseases that make up a diagnosis such a Mixed Connective Tissue Disease or MCTD. In this post I am going to have these diseases described in-depth and hopefully create more understanding about these illnesses. Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease - In-Depth Overviewhttp://www.hss.edu/conditions_undifferentiated-connective-tissue-disease-overview.asp. Definition The term \"\"undifferentiated connective tissue disease\"\" (UCTD) is used to describe people who have symptoms and certain lab test results that look like a systemic autoimmune disorder or connective tissue disease. But they don't have enough of such characteristics to meet the diagnosis for a well-defined connective tissue disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma."

"text": "Definitioncumulative trauma disorder (CTD)Posted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com In information technology, cumulative trauma disorder (CTD) refers to any of several physical problems that can result from improper or excessive use of a computer display or terminal. Other terms for repetitive stress disorders are repetitive stress injury (RSI) and repetitive motion disorder (RMD) . Perhaps the most well-known CTD is carpal tunnel syndrome . In occupations involving long hours of keyboard use over a period of years, the tissue in the wrist can become chronically inflamed and swollen. In severe cases, scarring occurs. The main nerve leading from the arm into the hand becomes pinched. The result is arthritis-like pain and stiffness in the hand and fingers. If not treated, the condition can progress until keyboard use becomes impossible. Proper hand positioning, and the use of wrist supports, can minimize the risk that a computer user will develop this syndrome. Poor posture, caused by improper chair height, a desk that is too high or low, or a display too far below eye level, can bring about back pain and spasms."

Top Abstract In Ewing's sarcoma family tumors, the ets transcription factor gene FLI1 is rearranged with one EWS allele resulting in coexpression of germline EWS and chimeric EWS-FLI1 proteins. Here, we investigated the potential of germline EWS, FLI1 and EWS-FLI1 to oligomerize. In two functional in vivo tests, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and the mammalian two-hybrid (MTH) assay, self-association of EWS and EWS-FLI1, but not of FLI1 was detected. In addition, interaction of EWS-FLI1 with EWS and FLI1 was observed. GST pull-down assays and immunoprecipitation experiments largely confirmed these results. The EWS N-terminal domain present in both EWS and EWS-FLI1 was found to contribute to homotypic and heterotypic interactions of these proteins. However, in the context of germline EWS, the presence of the whole or part of the C-terminal RNA-binding domain greatly supported the self-association potential of the protein. Involvement of an RNA component in EWS oligomerization was confirmed by sensitivity of the corresponding GST pull-down assay to RNase A treatment."

Brown Jr. Salinity Laboratory - exploring soil-plant-water systems The Salt Institute Salinity - Dissolved Salts, Measuring Salinity When we measure the salinity of water, we look at how much dissolved salt is in the water, or the concentration of salt in the water. Concentration is the amount (by weight) of salt in water and can be expressed in parts per million (ppm). Here are the classes of water: Fresh water - less than 1,000 ppm Slightly saline water - From 1,000 ppm to 3,000 ppm Moderately saline water - From 3,000 ppm to 10,000 ppm Highly saline water - From 10,000 ppm to 35,000 ppm Ocean water has a salinity that is approximately 35,000 ppm. That's the same as saying ocean water is about 3.5% salt. Sometimes, salinity is measured in different units. Another common unit is the psu (practical salinity units). Ocean water has a salinity of approximately 35 psu. Scientists measure salinity using a CTD instrument (CTD = conductivity, temperature, depth)."

To have \"\"lost your mojo\"\", refers to a loss of inspiration or creative genius; a loss of that special spark. The word has been around for almost 100 years, one source cites its use to as early as 1926. The term may have been recently popularized in one of the Austin Powers films starting Mike Myers, where he refers to 'mojo' as a combination of all the right stuff that makes a man successful. So, the term is used in a sexual context, referring to a man's libido, virility or ability to attract someone they like or would like as a mate. However, the word has African roots. It is said to refer to a small bag containing a magic charm (often a red flannel cloth) and herbs that is tied with a draw string and worn under clothes to bring good luck.

"text": "\"English-language Slang Slang Origins Slang Etymology Words Vocabulary of the English Language English (language)What is the etymology of the slang term \"\"asshat\"\"?4 Answers Jonathon Green, Slang lexicographer. Author: Green's Dictionary of Slang (2010)Answered May 16, 2013 · Author has 298 answers and 1.7m answer views The earliest record of asshat I can find is dated 2003 and comes from Prof. Connie Eble's annual survey of slang used by students at U. North Carolina. Further searches draw a blank: there are supposed uses in a variety of novels listed via Google Books but since there are no texts, and the novels seem to be historical/romance fiction, I doubt that the word is actually used. It seems to be a synonym for asshead, which can be found in the 16th and 17th centuries - though I assume that in this case the ‘ass’ is an animal, not the posterior. It re-emerges in the 1940s (the example I have is from the West Indies) and I assume that the ‘ass’ is now physical rather than animal. There is, however, a derivative of asshat: asshattery, of which a few examples appear in 2013.10.7k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Quora User Your response is private.

Aggregation of Currency Transactions Multiple currency transactions totaling more than $10,000 during any one business day are treated as a single transaction if the bank has knowledge that they are by or on behalf of the same person. Transactions throughout the bank should be aggregated when determining multiple transactions. 83In cases where multiple businesses share a common owner, the presumption is that separately incorporated entities are independent persons. The currency transactions of separately incorporated businesses should not automatically be aggregated as being on behalf of any one person simply because those businesses are owned by the same person. Financial institutions should determine, based on information obtained in the ordinary course of business, whether multiple businesses that share a common owner are being operated independently depending on all the facts and circumstances."

"text": "\"Bank Secrecy Act Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual Backward | Table of Contents | Forward APPENDIX G: STRUCTURINGStructuring transactions to evade BSA reporting and certain recordkeeping requirements can result in civil and criminal penalties under the BSA. Under the BSA ( 31 USC 5324 ), no person shall, for the purpose of evading the CTR or a geographic targeting order reporting requirement, or certain BSA recordkeeping requirements: Cause or attempt to cause a bank to fail to file a CTR or a report required under a geographic targeting order or to maintain a record required under BSA regulations. Cause or attempt to cause a bank to file a CTR or report required under a geographic targeting order, or to maintain a BSA record that contain a material omission or misstatement of fact. Structure, as defined above, or attempt to structure or assist in structuring, any transaction with one or more banks. The definition of structuring, as set forth in 31 CFR 1010.100 (xx) (which was implemented before a USA PATRIOT Act provision extended the prohibition on structuring to geographic targeting orders and BSA recordkeeping requirements), states, \"\"a person structures a transaction if that person, acting alone, or in conjunction with, or on behalf of, other persons, conducts or attempts to conduct one or more transactions in currency in any amount, at one or more financial institutions, on one or more days, in any manner, for the purpose of evading the [CTR filing requirements].\"\" \"\"In any manner\"\" includes, but is not limited to, breaking down a single currency sum exceeding $10,000 into smaller amounts that may be conducted as a series of transactions at or less than $10,000. The transactions need not exceed the $10,000 CTR filing threshold at any one bank on any single day in order to constitute structuring. Money launderers and criminals have developed many ways to structure large amounts of currency to evade the CTR filing requirements. Unless currency is smuggled out of the United States or commingled with the deposits of an otherwise legitimate business, any money laundering scheme that begins with a need to convert the currency proceeds of criminal activity into more legitimate-looking forms of financial instruments, accounts, or investments, will likely involve some form of structuring. Structuring remains one of the most commonly reported suspected crimes on SARs. Bank employees should be aware of and alert to structuring schemes."

That’s great news for B2B marketers, because Linked In is much more than just a bunch of résumés. Linked In advertising is a huge opportunity for lead generation for B2B companies. Business messages are well-received in Linked In’s professionally focused environment. In addition, Linked In lets marketers target ads to users by important B2B demographics such as job title or industry or even focusing on members of particular Linked In groups. This is different—and arguably better-suited for B2B—than Facebook ads, which typically target users by lifestyle interests (such as gardening, music or religion). Marketers can create an ad on Linked In in just minutes with a minimum spend of $10/day. For Linked In ads, there are some basics of PPC advertising to keep in mind, as well as nuances of Linked In to leverage to ensure you’ll get the most from your campaigns.

You're close, I believe a banking institution or financial investment firm is supposed to report anything over $ 9,999. Federal law requires that all banks report any cash deposits made in excess of $10,000 in the hopes of discouraging money laundering, rather than tax evasion. I'd worry more about the FBI/FDIC instead of the IRS. When the deposit is taken by the bank, they will ask you for a photo ID, normally a state or federal ID, and write down your name, address, ID #, etc...along w/ the amount of money deposited (again, in excess of $10,000). If you were to make a deposit of $9,900...you're name doesn't go into the \"\"ledger\"\". EFT (electronic funds transfers) or \"\"wires\"\" require the same information for the same reasons as mentioned above, or the transfer will not take place (...if you go to a reputable location). If it's the IRS you're worried about, large check deposits automatically leave a paper trail that is easily followed by the government."

"text": "\"Bank Secrecy Act Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual Backward | Table of Contents | Forward Currency Transaction Reporting Exemptions—Overview Objective. Assess the bank’s compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements for exemptions from the currency transaction reporting requirements. U. S. Treasury regulations have historically recognized that the routine reporting of some types of large currency transactions does not necessarily aid law enforcement authorities and may place unreasonable burdens on banks. Consequently, a bank may exempt certain types of customers from currency transaction reporting. The Money Laundering Suppression Act of 1994 (MLSA) established a two-phase exemption process. Under Phase I exemptions, transactions in currency by banks, governmental departments or agencies, and listed public companies and their subsidiaries are exempt from reporting. Under Phase II exemptions, transactions in currency by smaller businesses that meet specific criteria laid out in Fin CEN’s regulations may be exempted from reporting. Phase I CTR Exemptions ( 31 CFR 1020.315 (b) (1)- (5))Fin CEN’s rule identifies five categories of Phase I exempt persons: A bank, to the extent of its domestic operations. A federal, state, or local government agency or department. Any entity exercising governmental authority within the United States."

Your click-through rate (CTR): Your industry: Search Network Display Network See How You Compare A low ad CTR is problematic, as it can drag down your Quality Scores and affect future ad placement. Low CTRs signal a lack of relevance for your ad viewers, who aren’t inspired to click on your ad and visit your landing page to learn more about your offer or take the desired action. On the other hand, a high average CTR – either across your campaign or for a specific keyword – doesn’t always mean success. It is one indicator that, when combined with other KPIs (key performance indicators) can point to the success of your campaign. However, high average CTRs with low conversions may actually mean that you’re wasting spend by attracting people less likely to convert. This may be caused by targeting that is too broad, irrelevant ad copy, or a combination of both."

"text": "Bank Secrecy Act Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual Backward | Table of Contents | Forward APPENDIX P: BSA RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTSThis appendix is provided as a summary listing. For comprehensive and current BSA record retention requirements, refer to U. S. Treasury/Fin CEN regulations found at 31 CFR Chapter X. These BSA record retention requirements are independent of and in addition to record retention requirements under other laws. Five-Year Retention for Records as Specified Below The BSA establishes recordkeeping requirements related to various types of records including: customer accounts (e.g., loan, deposit, or trust), BSA filing requirements, and records that document a bank’s compliance with the BSA. In general, the BSA requires that a bank maintain most records for at least five years. These records can be maintained in many forms including original, microfilm, electronic, copy, or a reproduction. A bank is not required to keep a separate system of records for each of the BSA requirements; however, a bank must maintain all records in a way that makes them accessible in a reasonable period of time. The records related to the transactions discussed below must be retained by a bank for five years. However, as noted below, the records related to the identity of a bank customer must be maintained for five years after the account (e.g., loan, deposit, or trust) is closed. Additionally, on a case-by-case basis (e.g., U. S. Treasury Department Order, or law enforcement investigation), a bank may be ordered or requested to maintain some of these records for longer periods. Extension of Credit in Excess of $10,000 (Not Secured by Real Property)This record shall contain: Name of borrower."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money What Deposits Are Reported to the IRS?by Tom Streissguth Your bank business is not always your own business: the IRS might be in on the transaction as well. In an effort to keep tabs on money gained from illegal activities, the agency requires the reporting of certain deposits and, of course, there's a form and procedures for that. Banks aren't the only ones reporting large deposits; the IRS rules apply to any transaction carried out by a business or an individual. Cash and Form 8300When you deposit $10,000 or more in cash at the bank, the IRS requires the bank to complete a Form 8300. This form is for reporting any transaction or series of related transactions in which the total sum is $10,000 or more; a pair of $5,000 deposits, for example, will also wind up on Form 8300. Related transactions are any transactions (such as deposits) that occur within 24 hours, or are transactions the person or business receiving the money has reason to believe are related. Time Frame If there are two or more \"\"related\"\" deposits within a 12-month period that result in a total deposit of more than $10,000, then the IRS requires a report. The payments must be made in the course of ordinary business and received from a single payer. The rules apply to individuals as well as banks and other kinds of business; if you sell a car on your own and accept $10,000 cash as a deposit or total payment, you are supposed to file a Form 8300. There is a 15-day deadline to file the 8300 after the deposit takes place."

That choice will impact the website’s success in nearly every area, included search engine optimization (SEO) and social media marketing (SMM). Let’s examine how a domain name impacts SEO and SMM and then analyze the factors that make a good domain name. Should I Choose A Keyword Domain? For years SEOs and search marketers have often purchased domains that contained their targeted keywords in order to increase CTRs and to help gain higher rankings on Google, Yahoo and other search engines. Let’s examine this strategy to determine if it is still effective. Many SEO strategists would purchase exact match domains (EMDs), which are domains that exactly match the keyword phrase they are targeting. For example, if they want to rank for “buy green widgets” the person might purchase Buy Green Widgets.com. EMDs offered two advantages."

Remember that CPMs and CTRs might fluctuate but you should go with the platform that provides the lowest CPA or cost per acquisition and generates the most revenues. Once you have a winning offer, I recommend doing direct media buys on websites (if they don't have a footer link called 'advertise' then email and ask them if they can place your banner and you pay them via Pay Pal). You also want to look at the type of traffic on your target website. Are they interested in your product? Use tools such as Similar Web.com - Competitive Intelligence Tool or Measure & Advertise | Quantcast (along with Actionable Analytics for the Web and Worth Of Web Academy to do a little bit of digging on the website's platform. I will pay a higher CPM if it converts at a higher rate for a lower overall cost. You won't know until you test and in order to understand or gather data you need to track your results (search Google for tracking software)Some clarification on CPM for those who don't know. CPM stands for cost per thousand impressions. ' M' is 'mille' which is Latin for 1,000.1 million impressions at $10 CPM is $10,0001,000,000 / 1,000 is 1,000 units If you take 1,000 units and multiply that by $10 CPM you arrive at the $10,000 total cost."
