"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Standard conditions for temperature and pressure. Comparison of a graph of International Standard Atmosphere temperature and pressure and approximate altitudes of various objects and successful stratospheric jumps The International Standard Atmosphere ( ISA) is an atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes or elevations. It has been established to provide a common reference for temperature and pressure and consists of tables of values at various altitudes, plus some formulas by which those values were derived. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) publishes the ISA as an international standard, ISO 2533:1975. [ 1] Other standards organizations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United States Government, publish extensions or subsets of the same atmospheric model under their own standards-making authority. Contents [ hide ]1 Description1.1 Use at non-standard day conditions2 ICAO Standard Atmosphere3 Other standard atmospheres4 See also5 References6 External links Description [ edit]The ISA mathematical model divides the atmosphere into layers with an assumed linear distribution of absolute temperature T against geopotential altitude h. [2] The other two values (pressure P and density ρ) are computed by simultaneously solving the equations resulting from:the vertical pressure gradient resulting from hydrostatic balance, which relates the rate of change of pressure with geopotential altitude:, andthe ideal gas law in molar form, which relates pressure, density, and temperature:at each geopotential altitude, where g is the standard acceleration of gravity, and R specific is the specific gas constant for dry air. Air density must be calculated in order to solve for the pressure, and is used in calculating dynamic pressure for moving vehicles. Dynamic viscosity is an empirical function of temperature, and kinematic viscosity is calculated by dividing dynamic viscosity by the density. Thus the standard consists of a tabulation of values at various altitudes, plus some formulas by which those values were derived. For example, at mean sea level the standard gives a pressure of 101,325 pascals (14.6959 psi) (1 atm ), a temperature of 15 °C (59 °F), a temperature lapse rate of −6.5 °C (-11.7 °F) per km (roughly −2 °C (-3.6 °F) per 1,000 ft), and a density of 1.2250 kilograms per cubic meter (0.07647 lb/cu ft)."

That large hatch allows easy access, and folding down the seats can help pack in even more gear. But the best part is that hatches have a fun side, too. So here are a fifteen of our favorite hatchbacks that can be parked in the garage for less than $20,000.2017 Chevy Sonic Price : $18,455EPA Fuel Economy (city/highway) : 28/38Rear Cargo Volume (cubic feet with seats up) : 19One of our longtime favorite hatches, the Chevrolet Sonic, is fresh-faced for 2017 with a new headlamp, grill, and bumper treatment. Chevy has also widened the color palette for the Sonic, incorporated new wheel designs, and updated the interior with a new 7-inch infotainment system. Chevy says this is the first car in its class with an optional power driver's seat. And all hatchbacks wear the sporty RS package with a sports exhaust, flat bottom steering wheel. The Sonic's mechanicals remain largely the same, meaning you'll want to spend an additional $750 and have the torquier 1.4-liter turbo motor. When paired to the six-speed manual—it's really fun. And speaking of fun, a few extra bucks spent will bring sharper handing."

"text": "A Guide to Understanding Ship Weight and Tonnage Measurements Ben Dinsmore 7 years ago 65 Comments Facebook Prev Article Next Article Do you know the difference between Net Tonnage and Lightweight Tonnage? By my count there are at least eight different ways a vessel’s “tonnage” is measured in regards to ships, MODUs, and other types of commercial vessels ( Displacement Tonnage, Standard Displacement Tonnage, Deadweight Tonnage, Lightweight Tonnage, Gross Tonnage, Net Tonnage , Gross Registered Tonnage, and Net Registered Tonnage ). If you’re a little confused about what all these different units of measurement mean, here’s a quick guide to help straighten you out the next time someone asks you “how much your ship weighs”. What is Displacement Tonnage: Displacement tonnage is nothing more than the total weight of the volume of water a ship “displaces” when it is sitting in the water. Imagine you had a large bucket filled to the brim with water. Now, suppose you gently placed a basketball in the bucket causing some of the water in the bucket to spill out. Once the basketball had stabilized and was freely floating in the bucket, the weight of the water that was “displaced” is equal to the “displacement” (or weight) of the basketball. What is Standard Displacement Tonnage: Standard displacement tonnage is basically the same thing as “displacement tonnage” with one minor difference. When calculating standard displacement tonnage, you subtract the weight of any fuel and potable water carried on board the ship. What is Deadweight Tonnage: Deadweight tonnage is the weight (in tons) of all the cargo, fuel, dry provisions, supplies, etc."

"text": "\"Cation Exchange Soil colloids, clay minerals and soil organic matter account for cation exchange properties of soils. See Chapter 5 of text for discussion of soil colloids, structural features, and other characteristics of soil colloids. Soil organic matter means the organic fraction of the soil but does not include undecayed plant and animal residues. Estimates of the average age of the carbon in soil organic matter, based on radiocarbon dating, varies from a few hundred years to more than 25,000 years. ( See page 217 in text.) Soil organic matter does not consist primarily of recent crop residues. It is a recalcitrant mixture of organic \"\"residuals\"\" that resist decomposition. Generally, it takes many years to change the organic matter content of a soil from its current \"\"equilibrium\"\" value. Tillage is the major agronomic practice that affects soil organic matter content. Reducing tillage is the most effective way to maintain or attempt to build back organic matter content that has been severely depressed due to intensive or non conserving agricultural practices."

I've seen that you should bury 1/3 to 1/2 of the above ground post height; so this would make our hole 1.5-2' deep with gravel below. I've also seen that the diameter of the hole for a 4x4 post should be 12\"\".. which would make the radius 6\"\". After going through the math for the hole ( pi x r^2 x h ) it comes out that the hole will have a volume of 1.57 cu ft, but the post itself will take up 0.17 cu ft, so the volume to be filled with concrete will become 1.4 cu ft per post. Right? The question I have now is that a 50lb bag of fast-setting Quickrete apparently fills 0.375 cu ft after setting. This would mean that we'd need almost 4 bags per post (3.75) - this is also the number that comes up from Quickrete's online calculator. I'm not against this exactly, except that I've seen people saying they've used half a bag per post or a bag a post. How accurate is this and how much should we need?"

By AARON ROBINSON Photos By MICHAEL SIMARI, THE MANUFACTURER,View 78 Photos We’ve been here before. We’ve stared down the barrel of a twin-striped Mustang with more than 500 horsepower and the name of a Texas chicken farmer across its fanny. The last one, the 2013 Shelby GT500, had 662 horsepower, in fact, and was said to go over 200 mph. It didn’t, not for us, anyway. Even so, it was what a Shelby Mustang should be, what it has been for decades: a hot quarter-mile with a side of smoky burnout. It was a muscle car with more. Mustang lovers got sweaty, but as usual, the rest of the auto world just shrugged and moved on with evolution. Ford says it’s different this time. It says the new Shelby GT350, a name positively gestational with history, is a light-year leap in sophistication and handling."

S. customary units are the units of measurement currently used in the United States and they are mostly of British origin. Since 1959, the U. S. customary units are related to SI units. The directors of the national standards laboratories of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States entered into agreement, effective July 1, 1959, whereby the equivalent of 1 yard = 0.9144 meter and 1 avoirdupois pound = 0.453 592 37 kilogram were adopted. [ 1] [2]As a broad generality, in the United States, the SI metric system of units is predominantly used in the fields of physics, chemistry and similar sciences. However, by and large, the so-called U. S. customary units are still widely used in industry, engineering, marketing and the general public of the United States. This article selectively lists and defines the most commonly used U. S. customary units in terms of the corresponding SI units. [ edit]Units of length The inch, foot, yard, and mile are the only four customary length measurements in everyday use by industry, engineers and the general public in the United States. In common usage, the \"\"mile\"\" is understood to be the statute mile (as differentiated from the \"\"nautical mile\"\")."

Lucey, Jr. Harry Diamond Laboratories Published in Metal Science of Joining, Proceedings of TMS Symposium, Cincinnati, Oct 20-24, 1991Submission of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, not subject to copyright ABSTRACTThree intermetallic compounds (Cu 6 Sn 5, Cu 3 Sn, and Ni 3 Sn 4) commonly found in solder joints have been prepared by gas atomization and then consolidated into bulk forms with microstructures similar to those observed in actual joints. Physical and mechanical properties relevant to the performance of joints have been measured for these materials. These data are evaluated in light of previously reported results, appropriate theories, and with regard to their applicability to actual layers in solder joints. INTRODUCTIONIn every solder joint, between the solder and the substrate, a layer is present containing one or more intermetallic compounds [1,2,3]. This layer formed at the moment the joint was made, and was responsible for the resulting strong bond. It may also be responsible for problems in solderability [4,5] and may compromise the future reliability of the joint [1,2,6]. These layers are usually 1 to 5 micrometers thick and, depending upon conditions, may thicken with time [3]. As solder joints are made ever smaller, the intermetallic occupies an ever greater proportion of the whole joint. The day when the intermetallic layers represent 10-20% of the joint is fast approaching. What role do these layers play in the successful fabrication and reliability of joints? The answer to this question requires detailed analysis, modelling, and testing of simulated and actual joints. It is clear that certain physical and mechanical properties of the solder, intermetallic compounds, and substrate materials are needed for such an undertaking."

Millions of homes in the USA have a gun safe and many gun owners have written very positive reviews of Golden Rod products. The Golden Rod is manufactured by a division of BUENGER ENTERPRISES based in OXNARD, CA. Buenger is a small company but its Golden Rod Dehumidifier is very well known, particularly among the owners of firearms. Golden Rod is one of the very few products to come with a Lifetime Guarantee and is completely maintenance free, silent and has no moving parts. How Does a Golden Rod Dehumidifier Work? The Golden Rod is quite different from most other humidity control products. All dehumidifiers reduce relative humidity but the vast majority do so by removing water from the air. A Golden Rod Dehumidifier lowers relative humidity by warming the air. Warming the air lowers relative humidity and, more importantly, increases the difference between the ambient temperature and the dew point."

A Practical Guide for Homeowners When using electricity in your home, you may never think about how many kilowatt hours (k Wh) you are using to charge your __________ (insert energy hogging device here). But the reality is, every device you plug into an outlet or hard wire into your home uses electricity and those kilowatt hours eventually add up to what you pay monthly to the electric company. Being an energy consultant I am often asked, what is a kilowatt hour? The easiest way to illustrate a kilowatt hour is to use the example of a 100 watt lightbulb: One kilowatt hour of energy is equal to 1,000 watt hours or the equivalent of lighting a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours. ( 100 watts x 10 hours = 1,000 watt‐hours = 1 k Wh). Believe it or not, a kilowatt hour can go pretty far. Here are some examples of a typical use of a single k Wh:‐ Watch television for 10 hours‐ Wash 12 pounds of laundry‐ Work on a laptop computer for 5‐10 hours‐ Vacuum for one hour Here are some examples to illustrate kilowatt hour consumption by common household devices: Ceiling Fan: 0.075 k Wh/hr. Kilowatt Hours Can Add Up!Central Air Conditioning (3 ton‐12SEER): 3.0 k Wh/hr."

It reflects red and orange light and absorbs other frequencies in the visible spectrum, due to its band structure, so it as a nice reddish color. It is malleable, ductile, and an extremely good conductor of both heat and electricity. It is softer than zinc and can be polished to a bright finish. It is found in group Ib of the periodic table, together with silver and gold. Copper has low chemical reactivity. In moist air it slowly forms a greenish surface film called patina; this coating protects the metal from further attack. Applications Most copper is used for electrical equipment (60%); construction, such as roofing and plumbing (20%); industrial machinery, such as heat exchangers (15%) and alloys (5%). The main long established copper alloys are bronze, brass (a copper-zinc alloy), copper- tin -zinc, which was strong enough to make guns and cannons, and was known as gun metal, copper and nickel, known as cupronickel, which was the preferred metal for low-denomination coins. Copper is ideal for electrical wiring because it is easily worked, can be drawn into fine wire and has a high electrical conductivity."

Contents of this page Transport of charge within the cell Cell description conventions Potential differences at interfaces Electrodes and electrode reactions Reference electrodes What you should be able to do Concept Map As we explained at the end of the preceding section, it is physically impossible to measure the potential difference between a piece of metal and the solution in which it is immersed. We can, nowever, measure the difference between the potentials of two electrodes that dip into the same solution, or more usefully, are in two different solutions. In the latter case, each electrode-solution pair constitutes an oxidation-reduction half cell, and we are measuring the sum of the two half-cell potentials. This arrangement is called a galvanic cell. A typical cell might consist of two pieces of metal, one zinc and the other copper, each immersed each in a solution containing a dissolved salt of the corresponding metal. The two solutions are separated by a porous barrier that prevents them from rapidly mixing but allows ions to diffuse through. If we connect the zinc and copper by means of a metallic conductor, the excess electrons that remain when Zn 2+ ions emerge from the zinc in the left cell would be able to flow through the external circuit and into the right electrode, where they could be delivered to the Cu 2+ ions which become \"\"discharged\"\", that is, converted into Cu atoms at the surface of the copper electrode. The net reaction is the oxidation of zinc by copper (II) ions: Zn (s) + Cu 2+ → Zn 2+ + Cu (s)but this time, the oxidation and reduction steps (half reactions) take place in separate locations:left electrode: Zn (s) → Zn 2+ + 2 e – oxidationright electrode: Cu 2+ + 2 e – → Cu (s) reduction A 9-minute video lecture on the above topic by Mark Rosengarten.

"text": "REDOX REACTIONS255UNIT 8REDOX REACTIONSWhere there is oxidation, there is always reduction – Chemistry is essentially a study of redox systems. After studying this unit you will be able to • identify redox reactions as a class of reactions in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously; define the terms oxidation, reduction, oxidant (oxidising agent) and reductant (reducing agent); explain mechanism of redox reactions by electron transfer process; use the concept of oxidation number to identify oxidant and reductant in a reaction; classify redox reaction into combination (synthesis), decomposition, displacement and disproportionation reactions; suggest a comparative order among various reductants and oxidants; balance chemical equations using (i) oxidation number (ii) half reaction method; learn the concept of redox reactions in terms of electrode processes.••••Chemistry deals with varieties of matter and change of one kind of matter into the other. Transformation of matter from one kind into another occurs through the various types of reactions. One important category of such reactions is Redox Reactions. A number of phenomena, both physical as well as biological, are concerned with redox reactions. These reactions find extensive use in pharmaceutical, biological, industrial, metallurgical and agricultural areas. The importance of these reactions is apparent from the fact that burning of different types of fuels for obtaining energy for domestic, transport and other commercial purposes, electrochemical processes for extraction of highly reactive metals and non-metals, manufacturing of chemical compounds like caustic soda, operation of dry and wet batteries and corrosion of metals fall within the purview of redox processes. Of late, environmental issues like Hydrogen Economy (use of liquid hydrogen as fuel) and development of ‘Ozone Hole’ have started figuring under redox phenomenon. 8.1 CLASSICAL IDEA OF REDOX REACTIONS – OXIDATION AND REDUCTION REACTIONS Originally, the term oxidation was used to describe the addition of oxygen to an element or a compound. Because of the presence of dioxygen in the atmosphere (~20%), many elements combine with it and this is the principal reason why they commonly occur on the earth in the form of their oxides."

It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used to make marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges and thermocouples for temperature measurement. Copper is one of the few metals that occur in nature in directly usable metallic form ( native metals) as opposed to needing extraction from an ore. This led to very early human use, from c. 8000 BC. It was the first metal to be smelted from its ore, c. 5000 BC, the first metal to be cast into a shape in a mold, c. 4000 BC and the first metal to be purposefully alloyed with another metal, tin, to create bronze, c. 3500 BC.

But conduction in metals differ, this difference in the conductivity can be explained using Band Theory Let us consider the metal Copper (Cu) the electronic configuration of Cu and its energy level diagram can be written as When a di atomic Cu is formed the moecular obrital diagram can be written as Bur in metallic Cu there are N number of atoms so molecular orbital diagram for N-atoms can be given as In the molecular orbital diagram of N-atoms the bonding molecular orbitals of valence shell are collectively termed as Valance band. Similarly the anti bonding molecular orbitals of valance shell are termed as Conduction band. The difference in the energy between the valance band and conduction band is the deciding factor of the property of metal conductor During conduction the electrons jump from valance band to conduction band, lesser the energy required for the transition, higher would be the probability of electron to jump thus the conductor would be higher so metal would behave as very good conductor. But as the energy gap is relatively higher the transition would require higher energy thus the transition would be not easier, thus the resistance of metal would increase9.1k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

Yesterday, I experimented with fermenting (aka: the first rise) the dough overnight in the refrigerator. Today, I tried proofing the dough overnight in the refrigerator. What’s the difference, you ask? Well, the same chemical processes are taking place in both fermentation and proofing: yeast multiplies, converting carbohydrates into alcohol, carbon dioxide, and acids. The network of gluten holds in gases, and the bread becomes leavened, or risen, in both stages. But fermentation takes place before the bread is shaped, and proofing takes place afterwards. Yes, that’s the only difference. So what’s the point of this experiment? How much difference could there possibly be?"

These are employed for the In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) of miniaturised technologies and for small payload-driven missions. What are Cube Sats? These nanosatellites typically weigh between 1 and 10 kilograms and follow the popular ‘Cube Sat’ standard, which defines the outer dimensions of the satellite within multiple cubic units of 10x10x10 cm. For instance, a 3-unit Cube Sat has dimensions of 10x10x30 cm and weighs about 3-4 kg. This is typically the minimum size which can accommodate small technology payloads. SIMBA mission Fixing the satellite body dimensions promotes a highly modular, highly integrated system where satellite subsystems are available as ’commercial off the shelf’ products from a number of different suppliers and can be stacked together according to the needs of the mission. Furthermore, the standard dimensions also allows Cube Sats to hitch a ride to orbit within a container, which simplifies the accommodation on the launcher and minimises flight safety issues, increasing the number of launch opportunities as well as keeping the launch cost low. Due to their high degree of modularity and extensive use of commercial off the shelf subsystems, Cube Sat projects can be readied for flight on a much more rapid basis compared to traditional satellite schedules, typically within one to two years.

Though our shootout should help narrow the choice if you’re in the market for one. But portable Air Play speakers are rather rarer, pretty ones even rarer and the Sugr Cube goes one step further in its bid to stand out from the crowd: it offers gesture-based control. You tap the top of the speaker to pause/play, tilt it 45 degrees left to return to the previous track or 45 degrees left to skip to the next. When I saw this on our sister site 9to5Toys, I wondered whether this would be a gimmick that you use a few times, or a genuinely useful form of control. There was only one way to find out, so I took delivery of one earlier this month to put it to the test …Nord VPNLook & feel Once upon a time, there was a simple rule for selling premium products: you had to feel the quality from the moment you first set eyes on the box. The packaging, as much as the contents, had to sell you on the quality. With today’s environmental concerns, brands have to strike a balance. The packaging still has to convey quality, but without seeming needlessly wasteful. Sugr has done well here."

For example, suppose you are looking into a piano at the array of hammers and strings. There will be a way these things look to you when you see them: they will look to have a certain shape, color, texture, and arrangement relative to one another, among other things. Your visual experience conveys to you that the piano has these features. If your experience is illusory in some respect then the piano won't really have all those features. But even then, there will still be something conveyed to you by your experience. Three main questions will be addressed in this entry. First (Sections 1–2), what are contents and what is their relation to experiences? Second (Sections 3–7), which contents are contents of experience? Finally (Section 8), in virtue of what do experiences have contents, when they do?1."

However, spareribs do not have to be boiled as a preparation for grilling or barbecuing the meat. Global Post explains that while boiling reduces grill time and increases the tenderness of the meat, much of ribs' flavors are lost during the boiling process.

Developed solely for the Nintendo Game Cube, the Power PC first optical disc console and the first optical disc console developed by Nintendo, the game is notable as the first game in the Animal Crossing series to reach nations outside Japan. Animal Crossing was soon re-released as a Player's Choice title as a result of its high sales. In this game players assume the role of a boy or girl human setting out for a life of their own in a small randomly generated town. As each town is different, this ensures that no two players ’ experiences are exactly the same. Players can pick fruit, grow trees, garden, hunt for fossils, fish, catch insects, do favors for the villagers, decorate their homes, and perform other such tasks. The game designers declined to create an overarching plot, instead allowing players to have full control over their own life and play indefinitely."

Although there may be some variations, the pattern is predictable. One can know in general what to expect at what age from normal children, i.e. children who follow the norms and standards. These standards are established by observing a large number of normal children. A graphical representation of these norms (called growth curves or growth charts) shows how children growing at different paces would grow (Fig. 1). A child’s growth when assessed subsequently should be on the same line as before. If it goes towards the lower side, the child is faltering. Faltering may be temporary, due to some illness, but if it persists for 2 or 3 months, the child should be seen by a paediatrician. Some Basic Facts To Remember Paediatrician and expert on growth and development Dr. Arun Phatak, whom I had invited to collaborate with me on this chapter, appeals to mothers to keep these points in mind: Fig."

Spontaneous problem solving without evident trial and error behavior in humans and other animals has been referred to as insight. Surprisingly, elephants, thought to be highly intelligent, have failed to exhibit insightful problem solving in previous cognitive studies. We tested whether three Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus) would use sticks or other objects to obtain food items placed out-of-reach and overhead. Without prior trial and error behavior, a 7-year-old male Asian elephant showed spontaneous problem solving by moving a large plastic cube, on which he then stood, to acquire the food. In further testing he showed behavioral flexibility, using this technique to reach other items and retrieving the cube from various locations to use as a tool to acquire food. In the cube's absence, he generalized this tool utilization technique to other objects and, when given smaller objects, stacked them in an attempt to reach the food. The elephant's overall behavior was consistent with the definition of insightful problem solving. Previous failures to demonstrate this ability in elephants may have resulted not from a lack of cognitive ability but from the presentation of tasks requiring trunk-held sticks as potential tools, thereby interfering with the trunk's use as a sensory organ to locate the targeted food."

"text": "\"11.5 Changes of State Learning Objective To calculate the energy changes that accompany phase changes. We take advantage of changes between the gas, liquid, and solid states to cool a drink with ice cubes (solid to liquid), cool our bodies by perspiration (liquid to gas), and cool food inside a refrigerator (gas to liquid and vice versa). We use dry ice, which is solid CO 2, as a refrigerant (solid to gas), and we make artificial snow for skiing and snowboarding by transforming a liquid to a solid. In this section, we examine what happens when any of the three forms of matter is converted to either of the other two. These changes of state are often called phase changes. The six most common phase changes are shown in Figure 11.17 \"\"The Three Phases of Matter and the Processes That Interconvert Them When the Temperature Is Changed\"\". Figure 11.17 The Three Phases of Matter and the Processes That Interconvert Them When the Temperature Is Changed Enthalpy changes that accompany phase transitions are indicated by purple and green arrows. Energy Changes That Accompany Phase Changes Phase changes are always accompanied by a change in the energy of a system. For example, converting a liquid, in which the molecules are close together, to a gas, in which the molecules are, on average, far apart, requires an input of energy (heat) to give the molecules enough kinetic energy to allow them to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces. The stronger the attractive forces, the more energy is needed to overcome them."

"text": "| Return to Home Page | Next Chapter |1. Galileo's Square-Cube Law Introduction Gulliver's Travels introduced the fantasy idea that any size is possible. Does size matter? More specifically, can a rock, a person, a car, a planet, an airplane, or a dinosaur exist at any arbitrary size? This is a fundamental scientific question, and yet for the most part the science community has sidestepped this simple question. Since the science community has not clarified why animals cannot be any size, science fiction writers have had fun playing with the idea that animals can be many times larger or many times smaller than their normal size. While many of us may enjoy the entertaining movies showing people or other animals the wrong size, this is not helping to clarify to the public that size really does matter. Galileo’s Square-Cube Law explains why size matters, and in fact Galileo’s Square-Cube Law is such a fundamental scientific truth that science is hardly science without it. In 1638 Galileo published his book titled Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences where he clarified the reasons why objects cannot be any arbitrary size. As he explained, when an object is scaled up its area increases by the square of the multiplier while the volume increases by the cube of the multiplier."

His career has continued to rise toward genuine stardom, but that's not how Epps sees it: \"\"I don't like the word star. Stars fall.

The first thing to do is to choose a color that stand out. Like white. It's also a very good idea to always do a specific color first, since you will remember which colors are adjacent, which speeds things up. Notation used in this book for six faces: U - Upper L - Left F - Front R - Right D - Down B - Back How to read cubie positions: a cubbie is either a corner or an edge piece. The UL piece, for instance, is an edge piece because it has only two colors. It is the edge piece with a one color on the U face and another color on the L face. The URF piece is a corner (it has three colors), and it has a color on the U, R and F faces. The piece that is referred to depends on the orientation of the cube, which is why most solutions tell you to keep the cube with a certain color on top and a certain color in front (looking at the center sticker, since that one never moves). When talking about a white- (other color) edge, this is an edge with one white sticker and one other color, which on a standard cube could be red, orange, blue or green."

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."

And, if you do love it, how do you make it – the traditional way, or with Baileys, beer or even strawberries? Felicity Cloake Thu 13 Mar 2014 06.00 EDT06.00 EDTFelicity Cloake's perfect tiramisu. Photograph: Felicity Cloake for the Guardian I t may be a stalwart of the classic Italian dessert menu, but tiramisu has more in common with the tartiflette we enjoyed a couple of weeks ago – because far from being the traditional treat you assume it is, tiramisu, like that Alpine favourite, is actually a fairly recent invention. Sources bicker over who should take the credit, but most agree it originated in the northern town of Treviso about 50 years ago. This explains why I am unable to find a recipe in Elizabeth David's 1954 masterwork, Italian Food, or Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking – because it's no classic. It is, however, damn good – though like Angela Hartnett in Cucina, I'm willing to bet that anybody who dined out in the UK in the 1980s will have had a bad tiramisu experience. Soggy sponge and claggy, sickly sweet mousse, topped with furry layer of bitter cocoa powder – no wonder Hazan disowned it. But done well, there is no reason why a tiramisu shouldn't delight. After all, coffee, cream and booze is a classic after-dinner combination."

Westend61/Getty Orecchiette are a distinctive type of pasta from the Italian region of Puglia, the southeastern region that forms the heel of Italy's \"\"boot.\"\" They are shaped roughly like small ears, hence the name ( orecchiette means \"\" little ears\"\"). They're a bit less than an inch across, slightly dome-shaped, and their centers are thinner than their rims, a characteristic that gives them an interesting, variable texture, soft in the middle and somewhat chewier around the edges. They are best in the fresh version, though dried versions exist as well. In discussing them in La Cucina Pugliese, Luigi Sada says, \"\"making them takes experience, ability and practice,\"\" an observation that leads to the conclusion that you might prefer to buy them ready-made. This is a much easier proposition than it was even ten years ago -- Italians living in other parts of the Peninsula are discovering the Southern Italian cuisines and as a result, there is a market for southern specialties; the major industrial pasta producers such as Barilla or Voiello have joined the small artisan shops in making them. As a result, they are readily available throughout Italy, and I have seen them in the United States as well. When you buy them, check the expiration fate to be sure they're still fresh, because I've heard that older orecchiette can be problematic to cook. If you instead choose to make them at home, Mr. Sada says you should begin by weighing out two parts durum wheat semolina and one part flour (to get the proportions right, you really will need to use a scale; I would suggest 1/4 pound/100 grams flour [1 cup] -- and 1/2 pound [200 g] semolina, which will be less than 2 cups in volume)."

History - construction & ownership The shipowner Carnival Cruise Lines is an American company headquartered in Doral, Florida. It was founded as an independent company by Ted Arison in 1972. Today, it is one of the 9 cruise ship brands owned and operated by Carnival Corp. & plc. The line has the largest fleet in the whole Carnival group of cruise companies, with 24 ships currently in operation, and accounting for 21.1% of the cruise industry's worldwide market. The 130,000-ton, 3,690-passenger cruise ship Carnival Breeze was launched on June 3, 2012. This ship introduced the line's first complete \"\"Fun Ship 2.0\"\" concept. It is a fleetwide initiative concentrated on food, drink and amusement, allowing Carnival cruise passengers to tour, taste and laugh their way through new onboard places. Breeze is the first Fun Ship in decades that was not constructed by Joe Farcus - the man that dreamed in neon and polished marble. Much of what is found on the Carnival ships Dream and Magic is on the Breeze too."

Some pasta varieties are uniquely regional and not widely known; some types or forms may have different names in different languages, or sometimes in the same language. For example, the cut rotelle is also called ruote in Italy and wagon wheels in the United States. Manufacturers and cooks often invent new shapes of pasta; or may invent new names for preexisting shapes for marketing reasons. Italian pasta names often end with the masculine plural suffixes -ini, -elli, -illi, -etti or the feminine plurals -ine, -elle etc., all conveying the sense of \"\"little\"\"; or with -oni, -one, meaning \"\"large\"\"."

"text": "\"The Food of the Renaissance During the Renaissance, Italy had the most skilled, well known and creative cooks in Europe. They took Italian fine dining to new levels of refinement and prestige. Large, elaborate banquets were served in the dining rooms of the dukes and princes who governed the many small states throughout Italy. Many of the Medieval flavors and preparations were carried over to the Renaissance, like the generous use of spices, the addition of sugar to savory dishes, the widespread consumption of roasts, stuffed pastas, tarts and pies. The use of light sauces made of fruit or aromatic plants were mixed or thickened with the soft part of bread, grilled bread, flour, almonds or eggs. Sometimes, these sauces were flavored with acidic juices and mixed spices. During the Renaissance, people developed a great love for giblets and the innards of butchered animals, poultry and fish. In addition, you could find a large selection of stews, long pasta noodles, stuffed pasta and maccheroni. Milk and dairy products were used often: butter became as important as lard, heavy cream became popular and people began cooking all types of cheeses. Fruit and citrus were fundamental flavoring agents and fruit became a prominent part of the dishes served at the beginning of a meal."

It has been said that whether or not someone is a romantic at heart or not, Venice promises to take one’s breath away. Venice must be experienced with all of one’s senses wide open!. With it’s breath-taking ancient architecture, winding canals, and endless mysterious passageways, Venice is one of the most alluring cities in the world. Here I intend to relax with an espresso in Piazza San Marco, partake in a moonlit gondola ride and sip a Bellini at Harry’s Bar. And maybe just wander off the beaten paths to engage in history and beauty. At this moment, I am in splendid, magical, enchanting Venice, the city of dreams, with my parents and I’m really not anywhere near a computer to post on my blog . . . every post has been pre-scheduled for the days that we’re in each location of the trip. But I promise to post my photos of the best sights and food that we enjoyed when I return to the States.. Venice, one of the ‘bucket list’ cities of the world, and one of the most endangered due to its foundation of low mud-banked islands amid the lagoon waters of the Adriatic Sea. With its continual charming allure, physically it is very fragile with continual decay, erosion and water damage causing world-wide attention to prevent. Venice is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.. To arrive in Venice, one must enter by water . . ."

Yes, Italian food is that good. It’s nigh-unto-impossible to write one comprehensive non-book-sized list of what to eat in Italy, so here’s my list of the foods I think ought to be on a must-try list on for an Italian trip. Some of them are very regional, so if you aren’t traveling into the area where they’re made, you can always live by my number one rule when it comes to eating in Italy: If it’s local and in season, you should eat it. Period. Now, on with the food show. Here’s a list of seven suggestions for what to eat in Italy, plus the cities and/or regions where they’re from (and therefore, usually, best). What to Eat in Italy Pizza Perhaps the most famous Italian food export, pizza is easy to find pretty much anywhere you go in Italy. You can even have pizzas worth writing home about in cities from Venice to Palermo, or anywhere in between. But for the queen of all pizzas, you’ve got to go to Naples ."

"text": "Italian (italiano)Italian is a Romance language spoken by about 60 million people in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, Malta and Eritrea. There are also Italian speakers in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Canada, the USA and the UK. Italian first started to appear in written documents during the 10th century in the form of notes and short texts inserted into Latin documents such as lawsuits and poetry. For a long time there was no standard written or spoken language in Italy and writers tended to write in their own regional dialects. In northern Italy, which was often ruled by the French, French and Occitan were used as literary languages. During the 13th century such writers as Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), Petrarch and Boccaccio were influential in popularising their own dialect of Italian - the Tuscan of Florence ( la lingua fiorentina) - as a standard literary language. By the 14th century the Tuscan dialect was being used in political and cultural circles throughout Italy, though Latin remained the pre-eminent literary language until the 16th century. The first grammar of Italian with the Latin title Regule lingue florentine (Rules of the Florentine language) was produced by Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72) and published in 1495. During the 15th and 16th centuries both Latin and Italian were used for technical and scientific texts. The Italian used was full of Latin words and over time Latin was used less and less as Italian became increasingly popular."

Originating from the town of Amatrice (in the mountainous Province of Rieti of Lazio region), the Amatriciana is one of the best known pasta sauces in Roman and Italian cuisine. The Italian government has named it a traditional agro-alimentary product of Lazio. Contents [ hide ]1 Development2 Variants3 See also4 Notes5 Sources6 External links Development [ edit]Amatriciana originates from a recipe named gricia. Grici were what Romans—modern dwellers of Rome, not the ancient ones—called the sellers of bread and comestibles. [ 1] They were so called in that a number of them emigrated from the Swiss canton of Grisons. [ 1] According to another hypothesis, the name originates from the hamlet of Grisciano, in the comune of Accumoli, near Amatrice. The sauce was (and still is) prepared with guanciale ( cured pork cheek) and grated pecorino. According to the matching hypothesis, ingredients reflect local products available either to a simple grocery store or to common folk who practiced herding in the mountainous area. At some point, a little olive oil was added to the recipe."

"text": "Types of Italian Bread How do you rate this? ( 7 votes, average: 3.57 out of 5)Rarely is there an Italian meal that does not include bread. Ancient tools and ovens provide proof that man has been making breads for thousands of years. Like many other foods, ancient Romans took the art of bread- making to a higher level. In addition to enhancing the milling techniques of wheat, the Romans also were the first to produce flour, which could be baked into white bread. Rome even opened a baking school in the 1st century AD. Italians have high standards for their bread. They are known to allow the yeast to fully rise over the course of several hours, leaving a thin crust. Italians value the size of their loaves of bread because every family member needs to be properly nourished. Italians prefer their bread to have a soft and moist interior, which is ideal for absorbing olive oil, vinegar, tomatoes, and other select toppings."

What’s the best thing about a Fun Day at Sea? Being able to sleep in. All those port days kicked my butt after flying transatlantic last week and hopping from port to port, but it was a good intense. JOur day started by checking out the Thrill Theater, this is Carnival’s new 24-seat theater located on deck four. There is a cost to this but in my opinion it’s worth the $7.95 or the unlimited pass for $14.95. The whole area is set up like a box office; you pay and get a pair of 3D glasses and take a seat. Everyone who was in the theater with me said sitting in the front row was awesome. Two short movies played, Sponge Bob and Happy Feet. You will get sprayed on the thrill experience and there is a lot of seat jolting."

The accent on perché, as well as on any other word in Italian, tells you that the stress is on that syllable. Accents in Italian are written only to indicate that the stress is on the last syllable (contrary to the majority of words which is stressed on the penultimate syllable). On dictionaries accents are always written on the stressed syllables, but this is not done in common writing. The letter \"\"q\"\" (as in quando) is always followed by an \"\"u\"\" and another wovel, and is pronounced \"\"kw\"\" (as in English \"\"quill\"\"). The same identical pronunciation is used for the group \"\"cu\"\" followed by a vowel (as in scuola ). There is no rule on when to use either forms in writing, but it is a serious mistake to use the wrong one (in fact, writing \"\"squola\"\" with \"\"q\"\" is the prototype of mistakes in jokes)."

Their name comes from their shape, which resembles a small ear. In the vernacular of Taranto it is called recchietedd, or chiancaredd. A slightly flatter version is called cencioni, while in the vernacular of Bari strascinate are more similar to cavatelli. The traditional dish from Apulia is orecchiette alle cime di rapa, [1] although broccoli is also widely used as an alternative to rapini. Particularly around Capitanata and Salento, orecchiette are traditionally also dressed with a tomato-based sauce ( al sugo ), with or without miniature meatballs ( al ragù) or a sprinkling of ricotta forte, a seasoned sheep-milk variety of ricotta cheese. Their size is about 3/4 of a thumb, and look as a small white dome, with the center thinner than the edge and with a rough surface."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\" Cuckservative \"\", often shortened to \"\" cuck \"\", is a pejorative [1] formed as a portmanteau of the word cuckold and the political designation conservative. [ 2] It has become an increasingly popular pejorative label used among alt-right supporters in the United States. [ 3] [4] [5] [6]The word \"\"cuckservative\"\" reached a high level of mainstream political conversation around mid-July 2015, where it gained media attention just a few weeks before the start of the first Republican primary debate for the 2016 United States presidential election. [ 4] [7] It has maintained its popularity, especially with the political rise, campaign, election, and presidency of Donald Trump. The term originated on websites such as 4chan (specifically the /pol/ imageboard) and 8chan, the right-wing message board My Posting Career, [1] [3] the blog The Right Stuff, [8] and other sites in the alt-right movement. [ 3] [9] [10]Contents [ hide ]1 Definition and origin2 Use3 See also4 References Definition and origin One definition of \"\"cuckservative\"\" is a conservative who sells out, [11] having bought into all of the key premises of the left, [12] and sympathizes with liberal values. [ 7] According to white supremacist [13] Richard B. Spencer, the term is a shorthand used to express \"\"a certain kind of contempt for mainstream conservatives\"\". [ 14] The phrase is similar to \"\" Republican In Name Only \"\" (RINO). [ 15] Social conservatives who use the term condemn what they see as Republicans running on socially conservative values to appeal to their base during an election cycle, only to use vote trading to compromise on those values while in office. [ 14] The term cuckold has a long history as an insult implying that a specific man is weak and emasculated, and may even feel pleasure at his own humiliation."

"text": "Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Donald Trump campaigned as an arch-nationalist, a man who would stand up for ordinary Americans against the “false song of globalism,” as he once put it in a speech. One of his very last campaign ads was a You Tube video that, in conspiracy theory-tinged language, blasted “a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class. ”But on Tuesday, the White House announced that President Donald Trump will be attending the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, later this month. Davos is the signature gathering of the global elite, an event synonymous with the dream of a borderless, free-trading, fully integrated world — the exact kind of globalism that Trump claims to oppose. Davos is so synonymous with the international power structure that former White House Senior strategist Steve Bannon used the conference as a byword for his enemies. “The working men and women in the world,” Bannon said in a speech, “ [are] just tired of being dictated to by what we call the party of Davos. ”That “party” now seems to count President Trump as one of its members. This is a betrayal of Trumpism as an ideology Though Davos is a major conference of global muckety-mucks, the kind of place where you can find the former leaders of major countries just lounging at the hotel bar, American presidents typically don’t attend. Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama skipped the conference entirely; Bill Clinton is the only US president ever to attend while in office. Trump’s attendance, then, is not just some pro-forma appearance he’s required to attend."

There are 54 species of cuckoo that can be found in the Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia. Only 2 of 54 species live in Europe. Cuckoo inhabits open areas, such as marshes, meadows and fields, but it can be also found in woodlands and alpine areas. They are not listed as endangered, but their number in certain areas declined as a result of habitat loss, decrease in number of birds which act as foster parents to young cuckoos and because of the climate changes (which affect their migratory patterns and availability of food). Interesting Cuckoo Facts: Cuckoos are birds of the medium size. They can reach 12.6 to 14.1 inches in length and weight up to 2.1 ounces. Males and females can be distinguished by the color of their feathers. Upper parts of the males are bluish to gray, and their white bellies are intersected with dark lines. Some females may look like males, except that they have buff colored breast with dark lines."

At the same time, baldness is most frequent among those with heaviest body hair and heaviest beards. Browridges, and other bony excrescences of a hypermasculine nature, are closely linked with excessive pilous development of the body and beard, and with a tendency to baldness. Europeans, on the whole, are among the hairiest-bodied and heaviest-bearded groups of men, being equalled or exceeded only by the Australians and the Ainu. Both negroid and mongoloid skin conditions are inimical to excessive hair development except upon the scalp. The Mediterranean peoples, on the whole, are less hairy than other Europeans.

The Wolverine we have come to know is vigorous and invincible. Now he is worn out and wracked with chronic pain, which he self-medicates with booze. His claws are malfunctioning, his healing powers are fading, and the toxicity of his metal-laced skeleton is slowly killing him. Old man Logan has retired from the hero business. Instead, he is working as a limo driver, shuttling frat bros and basic party girls to and fro, trying to scrounge up enough money to buy meds for his ailing mentor Charles Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart. Xavier is also a fallen figure. He was once “Professor X,” the charismatic founder of the X-men. Though long a paraplegic, he was once the moral leader of the mutant rights movement and a world-class genius with god-like mental powers.

"text": "\"Crime and Punishment in Elizabethan England Printer Friendly Version >>>A young courtier in Queen Elizabeth I's court W hen Queen Elizabeth I assumed the throne of England in 1558 she inherited a judicial system that stretched back in time through the preceding Middle Ages to the Anglo-Saxon era. The concept of incarcerating a person as punishment for a crime was a relatively novel idea at the time. Most prisons were used as holding areas until trial and subsequent sentencing. Trials were skewed in favor of the prosecution, for example, defendants accused of a felony or treason were not allowed legal counsel. Justice was usually swift and often brutal. William Harrison set himself the task of chronicling everyday life in Renaissance England during the late 1500s. Among his observations he included an overview of crime and punishment: The Greatest Punishment\"\"The greatest and most grievous punishment used in England for such as offend against the State is drawing from the prison to the place of execution upon an hurdle or sled, where they are hanged till they be half dead, and then taken down, and quartered alive; after that, their members and bowels are cut from their bodies, and thrown into a fire, provided near hand and within their own sight, even for the same purpose. \"\" Varying Punishment for Commoner and Nobility\"\"Sometimes, if the trespass be not the more heinous, they are suffered to hang till they be quite dead. And whensoever any of the nobility are convicted of high treason by their peers, that is to say, equals (for an inquest of yeomen passeth not upon them, but only of the lords of parliament), this manner of their death is converted into the loss of their heads only.

Several reports in recent days have detailed the brewing conflict. The Daily Beast reported Thursday that Bannon had called Kushner a \"\"cuck\"\" behind his back. Bannon also told his associates, \"\"I love a gunfight,\"\" according to an Axios report, which said that \"\"the hatred between the two wings\"\" in the White House was \"\"intense and irreconcilable. \"\" The stories of civil war in the White House started rolling out in earnest this week after the White House announced Trump was reorganizing the NSC and that Bannon would no longer be on it. In January, Trump signed a controversial memorandum that removed some of the nation's top military and intelligence advisers as regular attendees of the NSC's principals committee and elevated Bannon. Bannon quickly went into damage-control mode, with his allies selling the NSC demotion as a \"\"natural evolution\"\" rather than a sign of his waning influence, according to The New York Times. The Times also reported that despite his efforts to play it cool with the media, Bannon resisted his removal from the NSC and at one point threatened to quit over it. Axios reported, however, that Bannon had been telling associates that such stories were \"\"100% nonsense. \"\""

It is insufficient to state the obvious of Donald Trump: that he is a white man who would not be president were it not for this fact. With one immediate exception, Trump’s predecessors made their way to high office through the passive power of whiteness—that bloody heirloom which cannot ensure mastery of all events but can conjure a tailwind for most of them. Land theft and human plunder cleared the grounds for Trump’s forefathers and barred others from it. Once upon the field, these men became soldiers, statesmen, and scholars; held court in Paris; presided at Princeton; advanced into the Wilderness and then into the White House. Their individual triumphs made this exclusive party seem above America’s founding sins, and it was forgotten that the former was in fact bound to the latter, that all their victories had transpired on cleared grounds. No such elegant detachment can be attributed to Donald Trump—a president who, more than any other, has made the awful inheritance explicit.

Millions of years of evolution have resulted in a myriad of strategies for obtaining food, and these different interactions are part of the glue that binds ecosystems together. Some feeding strategies are more familiar: carnivores are animals (and plants) that eat other animals, while herbivores feed on plants. Then there are the different kinds of symbiotic relationship which involve more close and complex interactions. Mutualistic relationships are a partnership: each of the life-forms involved benefits the other in a 'win-win' situation. Bees pollinating flowers are an example. ( Slightly confusingly, we commonly use the word 'symbiotic' to mean just 'mutualistic'). Commensalism is when one organism 'hitches a ride' on another, or uses it as a home, but causes no obvious harm. An example would be mosses living on the bark of a tree. Now enter the bizarre world of parasitism."

Except in the polar regions, they are abundant in most habitats, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. READ MOREBees are closely related to certain types of wasps, the principal biological difference between them being that bees (except for parasitic bees) provide their young with a mixture of pollen and honey, whereas wasps feed their young animal food or provision their nests with insects or spiders. Associated with this difference in food preference are certain structural differences, the most essential being that wasps are covered with unbranched hairs, whereas bees have at least a few branched or feathered hairs to which pollen often clings. Bees are entirely dependent on flowers for food, which consists of pollen and nectar, the latter sometimes modified and stored as honey. There is no doubt that bees and the flowers that they pollinate evolved simultaneously. As bees go from flower to flower gathering pollen, a small amount is rubbed from their bodies and deposited on the flowers they visit. This loss of pollen is significant, for it often results in cross-pollination of plants."

It was performed in 414 BC at the City Dionysia where it won second prize. It has been acclaimed by modern critics as a perfectly realized fantasy [3] remarkable for its mimicry of birds and for the gaiety of its songs. [ 4] Unlike the author's other early plays, it includes no direct mention of the Peloponnesian War and there are few references to Athenian politics, and yet it was staged not long after the commencement of the Sicilian Expedition, an ambitious military campaign that had greatly increased Athenian commitment to the war effort. In spite of that, the play has many indirect references to Athenian political and social life. It is the longest of Aristophanes' surviving plays and yet it is a fairly conventional example of Old Comedy."

Behavioral ecology emerged from ethology after Niko Tinbergen outlined four questions to address when studying animal behaviors that are the proximate causes, ontogeny, survival value, and phylogeny of behavior. If an organism has a trait that provides a selective advantage (i.e., has adaptive significance) in its environment, then natural selection favors it. Adaptive significance refers to the expression of a trait that affects fitness, measured by an individual's reproductive success. Adaptive traits are those that produce more copies of the individual's genes in future generations. Maladaptive traits are those that leave fewer. For example, if a bird that can call more loudly attracts more mates, then a loud call is an adaptive trait for that species because a louder bird mates more frequently than less loud birds—thus sending more loud-calling genes into future generations. Individuals are always in competition with others for limited resources, including food, territories, and mates. Conflict occurs between predators and prey, between rivals for mates, between siblings, mates, and even between parents and offspring."

The Apocrita have a common evolutionary ancestor and form a clade; wasps as a group do not form a clade, but are paraphyletic with respect to bees and ants. The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Wasps play many ecological roles. Some are predators or pollinators, whether to feed themselves or to provision their nests. Many, notably the cuckoo wasps, are kleptoparasites, laying eggs in the nests of other wasps. Many of the solitary wasps are parasitoidal, meaning they lay eggs on or in other insects (any life stage from egg to adult) and often provision their own nests with such hosts."

The good: because of nectar (I'm guessing) many of the lady bugs are staying and my plants each have several lady bugs on them. I think they are eating some aphids too. I'd noticed that lettuce had a bunch of aphids on it and the lady bugs seem to be congregating there as if for a feast. Even better, I've had tons of bees, several kinds too (and a few kinds of wasps, which I'm less excited about), showing up and they definitely seem attracted to the nectar.

Most wasps are parasitic – that is, they use their ovipositor (stinger) to lay eggs in a host’s body. There are two types of wasps, solitary and social. Solitary wasps, as the term implies, live a solitary life without the company of other wasps. They do not build their own nests either and they are all fertile. Social wasps, on the other hand, can live in colonies of thousands, they build their own nests and the females (other than the queen) are almost always unable to reproduce. Generally speaking, the characteristics of a wasp include; two pairs of wings, a stinger, very few or no thickened hair (as you may notice on bees), a pair of talons. Wasps are almost always terrestrial apart from a few species and they prey on terrestrial insects. What do wasps eat A wasps’ diet varies amongst species, generally speaking a wasps larvae will almost always get its first meal from within a host insect. As previously mentioned many wasps are parasitic insects and will lay their eggs inside other insects."

"title": "https://www.britannica.com/science/mimicry\nMimicry",
"text": "Mimicry, in biology, phenomenon characterized by the superficial resemblance of two or more organisms that are not closely related taxonomically. This resemblance confers an advantage—such as protection from predation—upon one or both organisms through some form of “information flow” that passes between the organisms and the animate agent of selection. The agent of selection (which may be, for example, a predator, a symbiont, or the host of a parasite, depending on the type of mimicry encountered) interacts directly with the similar organisms and is deceived by their similarity. This type of natural selection distinguishes mimicry from other types of convergent resemblance that result from the action of other forces of natural selection ( e.g., temperature, food habits) on unrelated organisms. In the most studied mimetic relationships the advantage is one-sided, one species (the mimic) gaining advantage from a resemblance to the other (the model). Since the discovery of mimicry in butterflies in the mid-19th century, a great many plants and animals have been found to be mimetic. In many cases the organisms involved belong to the same class, order, or even family, but numerous instances are known of plants mimicking animals and vice versa. Although the best-known examples of mimicry involve similarity of appearance, investigations have disclosed fascinating cases in which the resemblance involves sound, smell, behaviour, and even biochemistry. A key element in virtually every mimetic situation is deception by the mimic, perpetrated upon a third party, which mistakes the mimic for the model. This third party may be the collective potential predators upon the mimic, potential prey of a predacious mimic, or even one sex of the mimic’s own species."

Light-morph Jaguar (typical)Dark-morph or melanistic Jaguar (about 6% of the South American population)Polymorphism [1] in biology occurs when two or more clearly different phenotypes exist in the same population of a species — in other words, the occurrence of more than one form or morph. In order to be classified as such, morphs must occupy the same habitat at the same time and belong to a panmictic population (one with random mating). [ 2]Polymorphism as described here involves morphs of the phenotype. The term is also used somewhat differently by molecular biologists to describe certain point mutations in the genotype, such as SNPs (see also RFLPs ). This usage is not discussed in this article. Polymorphism is common in nature; it is related to biodiversity, genetic variation and adaptation; it usually functions to retain variety of form in a population living in a varied environment. [ 3] :126 The most common example is sexual dimorphism, which occurs in many organisms. Other examples are mimetic forms of butterflies (see mimicry ), and human hemoglobin and blood types . Polymorphism results from evolutionary processes, as does any aspect of a species. It is heritable and is modified by natural selection."

Booth, in Fowler's Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine, Volume 8, 2015Biology The order Caprimulgiformes ( nightjarsand allies) comprises five families and 120 species of large-eyed, wide-mouthed, superbly camouflaged birds. Family Podargidae (frogmouths), Family Aegothelidae (owlet- nightjars ), and Family Caprimulgidae ( nightjars and nighthawks) are predominantly from Australasia. The Europeannightjar ( Caprimulgus europaeus) is migratory between Europe and Africa. Family Steatornithidae (oilbirds) and Family Nyctibiidae (potoos) are from South America. Despite their superficially similar external appearances, taxonomists argue that Caprimulgiformes birds differ distinctly in many anatomic features. Strong evidence suggests sister taxa status between Aegothelidae (owlet nightjars) and the diurnal Apodiformes (swifts and hummingbirds) and that perhaps all six families belong to a clade with a shared common ancestor. 20 Caprimulgiformes species also share morphologic affinities with Strigiformes (owls). 9Most birds in this order are nocturnal and insectivorous and live in bonded pairs during the breeding season, but the oilbirds set themselves apart by living in colonies in caves by day and feeding on fruit by night. The tawny frogmouth ( Podargus strigoides) will be the main focus of this chapter because among the members of this order, it is the most commonly maintained one in captivity, with 273 specimens in 92 institutions worldwide (International Species Information System [ISIS], 2012). Read full chapter Deception: Competition by Misleading Behavior R. W. Byrne, in Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior, 2010The natural world is full of wonderful examples of deception: a nightjar, safely camouflaged as dead leaves on the forest floor; a praying mantis, looking like flower petals, and waiting for a passing insect to land on the flower; an Ophrys orchid, emitting chemicals that mimic pheromones of a particular species of insect that its flower loosely resembles, pollinated by the insect's vain attempts at copulation; caterpillars, counter shaded to balance the light-dark effect of sunlight overhead and thus look flat, just like the leaves on and among which they live; hoverflies, dramatically patterned to look like stinging wasps, deceiving predators into leaving them alone."

Echinoderms are characterized by a unique coelomic water vascular system. This is a hydraulically controlled system consisting of a circumoral ring around the esophogus with connecting radial canals each leading to an ambulacrum. The radial canals in crinoids run along each arm into an ambulcral groove and tube feet. The ambulacral groove with its many cilia and hydraulically driven tube feet manipulate captured food down the ambulacral grooves along the arms down to the mouth, situated at the tegmen which is positioned at the base of the arms.

Eaten either fresh or as a pickle, cucumbers have numerous health benefits, even though they may not be full of flavor. Add them to salads or slice them in spears to eat alone or with a low-fat dip. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Background Cucumbers are believed to have originated in southern Asia and India more than 10,000 years ago. The many varieties of cucumbers are all part of the Cucurbitaceae family, along with watermelons, zucchini and squash, which are often considered fruits, based on how they are prepared or eaten. Currently, Florida produces more cucumbers than anywhere else in the United States, notes the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Natural Hydration Cucumbers are made up of 96 percent water, notes Organicfoods.com.au. Because more than half of the body is made up of water, it is essential for normal functioning of the different systems of the body. A lack of water can lead to dehydration, which can cause fatigue, chills and muscle cramps. Water is crucial for saliva formation and cooling the body through perspiration."

Ask any child to draw a picture of the seashore and chances are it will include a sea star, one of the five classes of echinoderms. Sea stars are almost synonymous with life in the ocean. The sea stars (Asteroidea), and four other classes, brittle stars (Ophiuroidea), sea urchins (Echinoidea), sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) and feather stars (Crinoidea) make up the phylum. The word echinoderm is derived from the Greek for spiny, ekhinos, and skin, derma. Even though the classes of echinoderms look quite different, they have characteristics that link them and indicate their common ancestry. Adult forms have pentaradial symmetry, being built like a wheel with five spokes. In some groups like sea stars this symmetry is obvious but in sea cucumbers for example, pentaradial symmetry is obscured by the wormlike or cucumber shape. To see the symmetry of a sea cucumber look at a cross-section of the animal with its five longitudinal muscles, five rows of tube feet, or feeding tentacles around the mouth in multiples of five. Most of the classes start out as a bilaterally symmetrical larva which undergoes a radical transformation with a reorganization of the internal organs, or a tiny radially symmetrical bud grows into the adult and the larval body is discarded."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Home & Garden Gardening Why do some garden cucumbers taste bitter? Flag Why do some garden cucumbers taste bitter? Answer by Ashish felix Confidence votes 150Most cucumber plants contain a bitter compound called cucurbitacin, which can be present in the fruit as well as the foliage. Bitterness in cucumbers tends to be more prominent when plants are under stress from low moisture, high temperatures or poor nutrition. For some cucumber eaters, the bitter taste can be accompanied by a digestive discomfort known as a burp. Some of the newer cultivars of cucumbers do not have the bitter compound and, thus, no burp. So, some seed companies called their bitter-free cukes \"\"burpless.\"\" The amount of bitterness in the cucumber depends on the severity of the heat and drought. In most cases, cutting off the stem-end and removing the skin of bitter cucumbers will remove much of the bitterness. Some fruits will be bitter all the way through and should be discarded."

Sea cucumbers, though flavorless, readily absorb the flavors of seasonings and foods they are cooked with. However, don't let the bland taste mislead you; these animals have several notable benefits, even cancer prevention.

This rose has single-handedly changed the market for roses since its introduction, and it has ushered in a whole new way to look at roses and use them in our landscapes. View full size Kenneth Harrison / The Times-Picayune Its outstanding characteristics are well-documented: excellent disease resistance, more frequent reblooming, showy clusters of single, cherry-red flowers, dark green, attractive foliage and a shrubby growth habit that works well in the landscape. Knock Out roses tend to be used in landscape plantings like any other shrub, along with many other excellent rose cultivars in the landscape rose and old garden rose categories. They play that role very well. As a result, many gardeners who have never grown roses have planted one of the cultivars in the family of Knock Out roses, including Knock Out, Pink Knock Out, Blushing Knock Out, Sunny Knock Out, Double Knock Out, Pink Double Knock Out and Rainbow Knock Out. Given the long history of roses needing special care -- notably the hybrid tea and grandiflora cultivars -- people naturally wonder if there is anything special that needs to be done for their Knock Out roses.

"text": "Thursday, March 1, 2006Turfgrass Questions and Answers What is the best species of grass to grow where I live? The turfgrasses are divided into cool-season and warm-season species. Cool-season species do better in the cooler times of the year and thrive in temperatures from 65° to 75° F. Warm-season grasses are best adapted to temperatures between 80° and 95° F. The cool-season grasses grow well in the cooler regions of the northern United States and the warm-season species are best adapted to the warmer regions of the southern U. S. Grass species adaptation in the U. S., however, is a little more complicated than that, with the U. S. having four separate climatic zones of grass adaptation. The cool humid zone encompasses the Northeast, several states of the Midwest, and much of the Pacific Northwest. ( see map to the right) The cool arid zone includes much of the dryer areas of the Midwest and West. Cool season species such as Bluegrass, fescues, ryegrasses, and bentgrasses are best adapted to the cool humid zone; however, Buffalograss and zoysiagrass, both warm season grasses, are found in the western and southern parts of this region even though the growing season is short for these species. The cool arid zone is basically a cool-season zone and any of the cool-season grasses can be used here if irrigation is available. Buffalograss is becoming widely used in the warmer parts of the region, such as Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado, on nonirrigated sites. Less common cool-season species such as wheatgrasses and Canada bluegrass can be found on nonirrigated sites in the cooler parts of this zone. Warm season species are best adapted to the warm arid and warm humid regions of the U. S. Bermudagrass is the most widely used species in the warm humid zone, although it is sometimes subject to winter damage in the northern parts of the zone."

So far, experts in the field agree that heirloom vegetables are old, open-pollinated cultivars. In addition, these varieties also have a reputation for being high quality and easy to grow. Perhaps it is best to discuss the details feature by feature. Trait 1: Age Just how old a cultivar has to be to be an heirloom is open to discussion. Some authorities say heirloom vegetables are those introduced before 1951, when modern plant breeders introduced the first hybrids developed from inbred lines. While there are good reasons to use 1951 as a cut-off, many heirloom gardeners focus on varieties that date from the 1920s and earlier. A few, especially those re-creating World War II Victory Gardens, add introductions from the 1920s, 1930s, and the early 1940s. While some first-rate open pollinated cultivars were introduced after 1951, few gardeners include them with the heirlooms. While many of the varieties are 100 to 150 years old, there are some heirlooms that are much older."

Of course, good cultural practices can vastly expand the number of roses that will flourish in any garden, so any person who is inclined to nurturing a garden and who covets the delicate colors and textures of the more difficult roses will thrill to succeed with cultivars that are known to be difficult, at least in part due to their very difficulty. Do any of these steps is badly, and no amount of attention to the other steps will compensate. Do them well and the plant will likely thrive despite other steps. Slight or moderate amounts of the last four practices can improve the health and appearance of most roses.

Not many rose lovers get more joy from spraying their roses than from sitting in the garden and enjoying them.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Uncategorized What month does viburnum bloom? Flag What month does viburnum bloom? Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Viburnums bloom in the spring. Specific time actually depends on the species of viburnum, the geographic location, and the current season's weather. The bloom period can be intense but is usually not particularly long. Cultivars of a given species are generally expected to overlap in their blooming periods, but sometimes a particular cultivar of a given species might not overlap in bloom period with other cultivars of the species. In the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast regions of the USA, the best one can say without more particular species and geographic information is that many species of viburnums bloom in late April (some a bit earlier), a number bloom in May, and some in June. Bloom dates can be somewhat earlier in warmer localities and later in cooler localities. A few viburnums can lightly re-bloom sporadically later on in the summer."

"text": "Start Printed Page 46859AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: In response to recent amendments to the Lacey Act, we are proposing to establish definitions for the terms “common cultivar” and “common food crop.” The amendments to the Act expanded its protections to a broader range of plant species, extended its reach to encompass products, including timber, that derive from illegally harvested plants, and require that importers submit a declaration at the time of importation for certain plants and plant products. Common cultivars and common food crops are among the categorical exemptions to the provisions of the Act. The Act does not define the terms “common cultivar” and “common food crop” but instead gives authority to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U. S. Department of the Interior to define these terms by regulation. Our proposed definitions would specify which plants and plant products will be subject to the provisions of the Act, including the declaration requirement. DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before October 4, 2010.

"text": "\"Banana Varieties Historically, four sections have been recognized in Musa, AUSTRALIMUS , CALLIMUSA , MUSA (formerly known as EUMUSA), and RHODOCHLAMYS. Recent molecular analyses indicate a reduction to two sections, but much further study is required before the above system is abandoned. 1 There are many banana cultivars. Parents of the cultivated types are Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, two wild species which are usually seedy. M. acuminata evolved primarily in tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia, whereas M. balbisiana originated in monsoon areas in northern Southeast Asia, and southern Asia. Thus, pure M. acuminata cultivars developed first in Southeast Asia and its hybrids with M. balbisiana arose where distributions of the two species overlapped. 1 Because the binomial Latin nomenclature for edible varieties, e.g. Musa cavendishii cultivar (cv.) Williams, proved unsatisfactory, they are referred to as, for example, Musa spp. ( AAA Group, Cavendish Subgroup) cv. Williams."

"text": "\"Cultural group selection is an explanatory model within cultural evolution of how cultural traits evolve according to the competitive advantage they bestow upon a group. This multidisciplinary approach to the question of human culture engages research from the fields of anthropology, behavioural economics, evolutionary biology, evolutionary game theory, sociology, and psychology. While cultural norms are often beneficial to the individuals who hold them, they need not be. [ 1] Norms can spread by cultural group selection when they are practiced within successful groups, and norms are more likely to spread from groups that are successful. But, for cultural group selection to occur, there must exist, between groups, cultural differences that when transmitted across time affect the persistence or proliferation of the groups. [ 2] Cultural norms that provide these advantages will, in turn, lead to the displacement, absorption or even extinction of other, less successful cultural groups. [ 3] However, game theoretic models suggest that if individuals are able to migrate between groups (which is common in small-scale societies), differences between groups should be difficult to maintain. [ 4] Research in psychology reveals that humans have a particular set of traits, which include imitation, conformity, and in-group bias, that are capable of supporting the maintenance of these group differences over extended periods of time. Cultural group selection gives a compelling explanation for how large-scale complex societies have formed. While altruistic behaviour such as kin selection and reciprocity can explain the behaviour of small social groups common in many species, it is unable to explain the large complex societies of unrelated, anonymous individuals that we see in the human species.

Philosophy of history examines the theoretical foundations of the practice, application, and social consequences of history and historiography. It is similar to other area studies – such as philosophy of science or philosophy of religion – in two respects. First, philosophy of history utilizes the best theories in the core areas of philosophy like metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics to address questions about the nature of the past and how we come to know it: whether the past proceeds in a random way or is guided by some principle of order, how best to explain or describe the events and objects of the past, how historical events can be considered causally efficacious on one another, and how to adjudicate testimony and evidence. Second, as is the case with the other area-studies, philosophy of history investigates problems that are unique to its subject matter. History examines not what things are so much as how they came to be. History focuses on the unique rather than the general. Its movers are most often people who act for a variety of inner motives rather than purely physical forces. Its objects are no longer observable directly, but must be mediated by evidence. These problems and many more that are specific to the past have been studied and debated for as long as philosophy itself has existed."

A substantial body of research in cognitive psychology and decisionmaking is based on the premise that these cognitive limitations cause people to employ various simplifying strategies and rules of thumb to ease the burden of mentally processing information to make judgments and decisions. 88 These simple rules of thumb are often useful in helping us deal with complexity and ambiguity. Under many circumstances, however, they lead to predictably faulty judgments known as cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are mental errors caused by our simplified information processing strategies. It is important to distinguish cognitive biases from other forms of bias, such as cultural bias, organizational bias, or bias that results from one's own self-interest. In other words, a cognitive bias does not result from any emotional or intellectual predisposition toward a certain judgment, but rather from subconscious mental procedures for processing information."

By Rachel Nuwer19 December 2014A growing number of people, millions worldwide, say they believe that life definitively ends at death – that there is no God, no afterlife and no divine plan. And it’s an outlook that could be gaining momentum – despite its lack of cheer. In some countries, openly acknowledged atheism has never been more popular. “There’s absolutely more atheists around today than ever before, both in sheer numbers and as a percentage of humanity,” says Phil Zuckerman, a professor of sociology and secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, and author of Living the Secular Life. According to a Gallup International survey of more than 50,000 people in 57 countries, the number of individuals claiming to be religious fell from 77% to 68% between 2005 and 2011, while those who self-identified as atheist rose by 3% – bringing the world’s estimated proportion of adamant non-believers to 13%. While atheists certainly are not the majority, could it be that these figures are a harbinger of things to come? Assuming global trends continue might religion someday disappear entirely? It’s impossible to predict the future, but examining what we know about religion – including why it evolved in the first place, and why some people chose to believe in it and others abandon it – can hint at how our relationship with the divine might play out in decades or centuries to come."

"text": "Test Bias LAST UPDATED: 05.22.15Educational tests are considered biased if a test design, or the way results are interpreted and used, systematically disadvantages certain groups of students over others, such as students of color, students from lower-income backgrounds, students who are not proficient in the English language, or students who are not fluent in certain cultural customs and traditions. Identifying test bias requires that test developers and educators determine why one group of students tends to do better or worse than another group on a particular test. For example, is it because of the characteristics of the group members, the environment in which they are tested, or the characteristics of the test design and questions? As student populations in public schools become more diverse, and tests assume more central roles in determining individual success or access to opportunities, the question of bias—and how to eliminate it—has grown in importance. There are a few general categories of test bias: Construct-validity bias refers to whether a test accurately measures what it was designed to measure. On an intelligence test, for example, students who are learning English will likely encounter words they haven’t learned, and consequently test results may reflect their relatively weak English-language skills rather than their academic or intellectual abilities. Content-validity bias occurs when the content of a test is comparatively more difficult for one group of students than for others. It can occur when members of a student subgroup, such as various minority groups, have not been given the same opportunity to learn the material being tested, when scoring is unfair to a group (for example, the answers that would make sense in one group’s culture are deemed incorrect), or when questions are worded in ways that are unfamiliar to certain students because of linguistic or cultural differences. Item-selection bias, a subcategory of this bias, refers to the use of individual test items that are more suited to one group’s language and cultural experiences. Predictive-validity bias (or bias in criterion-related validity) refers to a test’s accuracy in predicting how well a certain student group will perform in the future."

Psychologists study cognitive biases as they relate to memory, reasoning, and decision-making. Many kinds of cognitive biases exist. For example, a confirmation bias is the tendency to seek only information that matches what one already believes. Memory biases influence what and how easily one remembers. For example, people are more likely to recall events they find humorous and better remember information they produce themselves. People are also more likely to regard as accurate memories associated with significant events or emotions (such as the memory of what one was doing when a catastrophe occurred).

"text": "In diverse societies, especially those shaped by colonialism and discrimination, many people find they must defend themselves against public laws and regulations that threaten practices they view as crucial to their cultural or religious identity. Oftentimes political and legal institutions are called upon to broker these conflicts, and in some cases they have developed methods to guide that process. Very little attention has been devoted to these methods, but they are a growing part of how public institutions respond to claims of protecting cultural identity. R. v. Van der Peet (1996) of the Canadian Supreme Court is instructive because it shows what happens when public institutions try to design a set of criteria for determining when a cultural practice should be exempt from state law. Dorothy Van der Peet, as a member of the Sto:lo First Nation, claimed exemption from regulations restricting individual fishers from selling salmon without a license. Van der Peet argued that her right to trade in salmon derived from her membership in a native Aboriginal nation whose cultural identity is intimately tied to salmon fishing, and thereby protected by section 35 of Canada’s Constitution. The majority of the Court justices found against Van der Peet and argued that trade in salmon (as opposed to fishing and consuming salmon) did not count as a protected Aboriginal right. According to the Court, in order for a practice to receive constitutional protection it must pass a two-stage “distinctive culture test.” In the first stage, the plaintiff must show that the disputed practice is integral to the pre-contact indigenous culture of the community in question. In other words, to be protected practices must be central, not incidental, to the culture, and only those practices that existed before Aboriginal-European contact are eligible for constitutional protection."

Even though overt sexism and discrimination is discouraged, it manifests in other allegedly banal ways. When women express discomfort with sexism, they’re labeled as uptight. Men in particular jump to the conclusion that they must be man haters to make such a fuss. This also seems to be the primary deterrent preventing women from speaking out against sexism – because they don’t want people to think that they hate men. But here’s the thing: Being against sexism is not the same thing as being against men. In fact, debunking the following five myths and biases will reveal that the false correlation between criticizing sexism and being anti-male is actually just a giant smokescreen to avoid talking about the real issue at hand – sexism. Myth #1: Calling Out Sexism Means You’re a Buzzkill One of the most common lies about feminists (or those who stand up for women) is that they lack a sense of humor. How many times have you been told that you just “can’t take a joke” when you take offense to something sexist?

When not thinking probabilistically, he’s drumming with the indie surf rock quarter Coastgaard. I’d like to address the recent study by Roland Fryer Jr from Harvard University, and associated NY Times coverage, that claims to show zero racial bias in police shootings. While this paper certainly makes an honest attempt to study this very important and timely problem, it ultimately suffers from issues of data sampling and subjective data preparation. Given the media attention it is receiving, and the potential policy and public perceptual implications of this attention, we as a community of data people need to comb through this work and make sure the headlines are consistent with the underlying statistics. First thing’s first: is there really zero bias in police shootings? The evidence for this claim is, notably, derived from data drawn from a single precinct. This is a statistical red flag and might well represent selection bias. Put simply, a police department with a culture that successfully avoids systematic racial discrimination may be more willing than others to share their data than one that doesn’t. That’s not proof of cherry-picking, but as a rule we should demand that any journalist or author citing this work should preface any statistic with “In Houston, using self-reported data,…”."

Bias can also be part of a point of view that includes personal preference, politics, and likes and dislikes. Bias also includes promoting a certain lifestyle or social and cultural status. Most information is biased. How to evaluate information for level of bias is an important part of being educated on what you are reading. When researching or reading information, how do you know if the material is bias to the author or to someone else? Here is how to evaluate biases in information: Determining if a Web site or other printed material is biased or not can sometimes be difficult if you don’t know what to look for. There are many guidelines to follow when determining if information is biased or not."

"text": "“Why the World is the Way It Is: Cultural Relativism and It’s Descendents”by Dr. Edward Younkins Professor of Accountancy and Business Administration at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia and author of Capitalism and Commerce. Relativism, the idea that truth is a historically conditioned notion that does not transcend cultural boundaries, has existed since the Greek era, some 2400 years ago. Relativism contends that all truth is relative except for the claim that “truth is relative. ”Cultural relativism wrongly claims that each culture has its own distinct but equally valid mode of perception, thought, and choice. Cultural relativism, the opposite of the idea that moral truth is universal and objective, contends there is no such thing as absolute right and wrong. There is only right and wrong as specified by the moral code of each society. Within a particular society, a standard of right and wrong can be inviolate. Cultural relativism maintains that man’s opinion within a given culture defines what is right and wrong. Cultural relativism is the mistaken idea that there are no objective standards by which our society can be judged because each culture is entitled to its own beliefs and accepted practices. No one can object to any society’s intolerance that reflects its indigenous worldview."

We might almost call culture shock an occupational disease of many people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Customs, Cues, Norms Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs are the thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situations of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to give orders to servants, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which are unconsciously learned. When an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of good will he may be, a series of props have been knocked from under him. This is followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety."

"text": "Transgender 101: F. A. Q.s About and For Transgender People Transgender 101Transgender is a broad term used to describe anyone whose gender identity or gender expression is different from the gender they were assigned at birth, without necessarily undergoing genital sex-reassignment surgery. Transgender individuals have socially transitioned from the sexed identity they were assigned at birth to the sexed identity that most closely matches their chosen gender identity. A transgender woman lives as a woman today, but was thought to be male when she was born. A transgender man lives as a man today, but was thought to be female when he was born. Some transgender people identify as neither male nor female, or as a combination of male and female. People who do not identify as entirely female or male use terms like gender non-conforming, or genderqueer. Trans* (with an asterisk) works as an umbrella term to include transsexuals, cross dressers, drag kings and queens, gender non-conforming, non-binary gender identities, genderqueer and intersex people. This expansive use of the term, encompasses the intellectual and political promise of trans critical studies and transgender studies. Trans is most commonly used to identify people who are not cis gender. Cisgender describes people who never think about what their gender identity is because it matches their sex at birth."

S. playing the ukulele A gender role, also known as a sex role, [1] is a social role encompassing a range of behaviors and attitudes that are generally considered acceptable, appropriate, or desirable for people based on their actual or perceived sex or sexuality. [ 2] [3] Gender roles are usually centered on conceptions of femininity and masculinity, [2] although there are exceptions and variations. The specifics regarding these gendered expectations may vary substantially among cultures, while other characteristics may be common throughout a range of cultures. There is ongoing debate as to what extent gender roles and their variations are biologically determined, and to what extent they are socially constructed. Various groups, most notably the feminist movement, have led efforts to change aspects of prevailing gender roles that they believe are oppressive or inaccurate. The term gender role was first coined by John Money in 1955, during the course of his study of intersex individuals, to describe the manners in which these individuals expressed their status as a male or female in a situation where no clear biological assignment existed.

"text": "THE BLOG 03/13/2012 05:15 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017Why Some Women Are Sexists By Soraya Chemaly Why is it that so often, when legislative bodies or the Church publicly address issues concerning women’s health, they chose women to speak on their behalf? Women make up only a small percentage of either of those bodies’ leadership, so their perpetual public appearances and the proportion of editorial photograph are far out of proportion to their actual representational power. It can’t be as simple as Richard Cohen explained this morning, after watching HBO’s “Game Change” about Sarah Palin, that these women are simply “ pro-choice with a pulse .” There are thoughtful, exceptionally smart women with moral conviction choosing for themselves whether or not they are pro or anti-choice. Their disproportionate representation as spokesman (chose that word specifically) for anti-woman policies being pursued by hierarchies, unquestionably dominated by conservative men, smacks of the Mc Cain teams’ dangerously paternalistic and condescending choice of Sarah Palin to secure the “women’s vote. ”Every day people, like me, are banging their heads on their desks, asking “What is wrong with that woman?” “ Why is she doing that?” “ Doesn’t she realize she’s being used by a system that denigrates her?” Women in these positions clearly don’t see it that way. Complementarianism, a biblically-based idea of separate but equal roles for men and women, is often how “equality” is defined for them — even though in practically every instance women’s place ends up being in the home, bearing and caring for children with a correlating exclusion from any direct authority over much of anything."

We were taught how wrong this was — the enslavement of our fellow citizens, the rendering of other people as less than human, simply because their skin was a different shade than ours. We were taught that Southerners held racist and stereotypical views toward a group of people common to their geographical area, yet we refused to acknowledge our own stereotypical views toward the group of people common to our geographical area — Native Americans. And growing up, I heard many things said about the Native American ethnicity. Some things were good, most were bad, but all had one thing in common: They were sweeping generalizations – overarching assumptions that ascribe a specific set of characteristics to all people of a certain culture. Otherwise known as stereotypes. My fellow Midwesterners had some learning to do. Like those Southerners of the Civil War era (and others who hold racist beliefs today), we needed to move beyond stereotypical perceptions of Native Americans.

The theory's best known branch, status characteristics theory, deals with the role that certain pieces of social information (e.g., race, gender, and specific abilities) play in organizing these hierarchies. More recently, sociologist Cecilia Ridgeway has utilized the theory to explain how beliefs about status become attached to different social groups and the implications this has for social inequality.

[ 2] In other words, the theory attempts to explain how hierarchies are created in small group interactions (with a shared goal) based on status cues. Specifically, this theory explains unequal distribution of participation, influence, and prestige between members of the group. This theory has implications for macro- and population-level hierarchy and inequality between groups. In general, expectation states theory is meant to explain the way that interpersonal status hierarchies work. [ 2] \"\"Interpersonal status hierarchies\"\" refers to the emergence of differential levels of social esteem and influence that occurs when groups of people interact. Research has found that several factors may influence the ways that status hierarchies emerge; however, the driving force seems to be implicit assumptions that group members hold about each other members' level of ability for completing the task at hand."

"text": "\"7 Things The Word \"\"Feminist\"\" Does NOT Mean By Suzannah Weiss July 5 2016Victor Moriyama/Getty Images News/Getty Images There has been a lot of confusion lately about what the word \"\"feminism\"\" means. Though feminists repeatedly insist that their goal is gender equality, critics continue badgering them with accusations of hating men, reinforcing the gender binary, and pursuing other things \"\"feminism\"\" does not mean. So, since we've already stated what feminism means again and again (short answer: It can mean a lot of things, but what it mostly comes down to is equality and being able to make the choices that are right for you), it's time to clear up what it doesn't. First, in case you don't know the actual definition of feminism, it is \"\"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men,\"\" according to Google's dictionary. I'll admit this definition leaves something to be desired; modern feminism, for example, acknowledges more than two genders, so the movement is not just about advancing women. In addition, many have critiqued the notion that marginalized genders should aspire to assume the male gender role in our current society, since much of it is built around toxic masculinity and exists within a patriarchal system that should perhaps be dismantled altogether. But what's not wrong with this definition is its focus on equality, not female superiority, sameness, or any of the other things people sometimes think of when they hear the word \"\"feminist.\"\" So in the name of clarity, here are a few things that the word \"\"feminist\"\" does not mean.1. The Belief That Women Are Superior Giphy Feminism has often been misread as a celebration of womanhood. But that would defeat the purpose of feminism, which is to challenge the notion of \"\"womanhood\"\" altogether."

"text": "Text21 Jan2,488 notes What is cultural appropriation, and how to avoid it I think I’m going to make that previous post into a post that can be reblogged. Again, this is just one person’s opinion about cultural appropriation! Don’t take my words as absolute truth. Ask different people what they think and read different stories.—What is cultural appropriation? The phrase means literally, “one culture taking parts from another culture”, for example, the idea of pizza spreading from Italian immigrants to become a food that people call “American”. But, it’s not as simple as that. One reason cultural appropriation can be bad, is that sometimes, it has the power to make people stereotype the original culture, or, make them see a version of it that is mostly invented by people who are not from that culture, and, not actually true. It can cause people to see the other culture as “strange” and “exotic”, because, they only see the other culture through the eyes of the people from their own culture. This usually happens when a very powerful culture takes things from a less powerful culture, and stereotypes them or creates their own idea about them, that erases people’s idea of the original culture. Another reason it can be bad, is that rituals and history that have a strong meaning to the original culture, can be treated by outsiders as “just for fun”."

Bulgaria Quidditch match, or by Romanians the Bulgarian people are thieves, and to others they are slavic and orthodox. But what do you think are the major stereotypes about Bulgaria that you as foreigners or Bulgarians have encountered around the world, among the public or among international media? Have you found those to be generally true or generally false? Are the stereotypes the key to Bulgaria’s generally bad image abroad? Bulgarian stereotypes Bulgarian Guys Bulgarian guys are probably not at the top of your list of desirable European men worth checking out. Whilst most men would agree that Bulgarian women have a reputation for being sultry sex-kittens, strangely not many women say similar things about East European men. But why is this?"

Beatnik was a media stereotype prevalent throughout the 1950s to mid-1960s that displayed the more superficial aspects of the Beat Generation literary movement of the 1950s. Elements of the beatnik trope included pseudo-intellectualism, drug use, and a cartoonish depiction of real-life people along with the spiritual quest of Jack Kerouac 's autobiographical fiction.

The name came up in conversation with the novelist John Clellon Holmes, who published an early Beat Generation novel, Go (1952), along with the manifesto This Is the Beat Generation in The New York Times Magazine. [ 1] In 1954, Nolan Miller published his third novel, Why I Am So Beat (Putnam), detailing the weekend parties of four students. The adjective \"\"beat\"\" was introduced to the group by Herbert Huncke, though Kerouac expanded the meaning of the term. [ citation needed] \"\"Beat\"\" came from underworld slang—the world of hustlers, drug addicts and petty thieves, where Allen Ginsberg and Kerouac sought inspiration. \"\" Beat\"\" was slang for \"\"beaten down\"\" or downtrodden, but to Kerouac and Ginsberg, it also had a spiritual connotation as in \"\" beatitude .\"\""

The SE approach releases traumatic shock, which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental attachment trauma. The SE Approach Offers a framework to assess where a person is “stuck” in the fight, flight or freeze responses and provides clinical tools to resolve these fixated physiological states. It provides effective skills appropriate to a variety of healing professions including mental health, medicine, physical and occupational therapies, bodywork, addiction treatment, first response, education, and others.the science Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict.how it works The SE approach facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body, thus addressing the root cause of trauma symptoms. This is approached by gently guiding clients to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions.read moreour mission Trauma is a fact of life.

"text": "\"Psychological trauma Psychological trauma represents an emotional state of discomfort and stress resulting from memories of an extraordinary, catastrophic experience which shattered the survivor’s sense of invulnerability to harm. \"\" People subjected to prolonged, repeated trauma develop an insidious progressive form of post-traumatic stress disorder that invades and erodes the personality. While the victim of a single acute trauma may feel after the event that she is ‘not herself’, the victim of chronic trauma may feel herself changed irrevocably, or she may lose the sense that she has any self at all .\"\" Judith Herman\"\"Trauma is qualitatively different from other negative life stressors as it fundamentally shifts perceptions of reality. Negative stressors: leave an individual feeling ‘put out’, inconvenienced and stressed. These experiences are eventually relieved with the resolution of the stressor. In contrast, trauma represents destruction of the basic organising principles by which we come to know self, others and the environment; traumas wound deeply in a way that challenges the meaning of life. Healing from the wounds of such an experience requires a restitution of order and meaning in one’s life. [ 27]Gregory Phillips talks about three areas of trauma experienced by Indigenous peoples: Situational trauma - trauma that occurs as a result of a specific or discrete event, for example from a car accident, murder or being taken away. Cumulative trauma - it is subtle and the feelings build over time, for example racism."

"text": "CT Daily, Online Exclusives Q&A: Empathy fatigue Lynne Shallcross January 1, 2013Leave a comment For counselors, self-care is an ongoing and necessary endeavor in order not only to maintain their own wellness but also to provide the best care possible to clients. A feature story in the January issue of Counseling Today addresses exactly this topic — click here to read “Who’s taking care of Superman?”As an online exclusive sidebar to the feature story, Counseling Today explores empathy fatigue, one of the handful of fatigue syndromes that can have a detrimental impact on counselor wellness. Mark Stebnicki, a professor in the Department of Addictions and Rehabilitation at East Carolina University who has been researching, writing about and presenting on empathy fatigue for more than a decade, talks about where empathy fatigue comes from and what counselors can do about it. What is empathy fatigue and why can it happen to counselors? Empathy fatigue is a phrase I coined and concept I posed in various articles and books I have written after being a member of the crisis response team in the aftermath of the Westside Middle School shootings in Jonesboro, Ark., on March 24, 1998 where an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old shooter took the lives of four students, one teacher and injured more than 15 others. The experience of empathy fatigue I believe is different than compassion fatigue and burnout. Empathy fatigue results from a state of psychological, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual and occupational exhaustion that occurs as the counselors’ own wounds are continually revisited by their clients’ life stories of chronic illness, disability, trauma, grief and loss. Empathy fatigue and the other various fatigue syndromes (e.g., compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, burnout, vicarious traumatization) are natural artifacts of working in “high touch” professions such as ours. Counselors are trained in the facilitative skills of empathy. The nature of the client-counselor relationship requires a below-the-surface level of intense and compassionate listening."

"text": "\"Undergraduate Academic Rules and Regulations Effective Catalog Year 2016-2017Preamble This document summarizes the body of academic regulations in place at American University for the conduct of undergraduate education. Based on a compelling rationale, a petition for an exception may be made with respect to a specific undergraduate academic regulation by an undergraduate student or faculty member. Such a petition should be directed in writing to the student's academic advisor.1. Credit Hours American University uses the Carnegie Classification definition of a credit hour. A credit hour is defined as at least twelve and a half hours of direct faculty instruction (in class or remote sites) with at least twenty-five hours of student work outside of that direct instruction, usually spread over fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. Typically, courses are 3 credits each, meaning that students meet in class and/or online for 2 ½ hours a week and do academic work outside class at least five hours a week over a fifteen-week semester or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. Courses that carry 4 or 5 credit hours require approximately one or two more hours of work each week in classes and require at least 1.67 or 3.33 additional hours of academic work outside class each week over a fifteen-week semester or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time. Courses that meet less than 2 ½ hours a week for three credits must require students in those classes to do additional work outside of class in order to achieve the expected learning of a 2 ½ hour a week class. The curriculum committees for each academic unit and the General Education Committee (as appropriate) are charged with following the Faculty Senate's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee policies (see Faculty Senate by-laws) for approving such courses and certifying that the expected student learning for the course meets the 3 credit standard. Research, internships, independent studies, labs, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of academic credit, at a minimum, should state clearly learning objectives and expected outcomes and workload expectations that meet the standards set forth above.2."

Upper Extremity Cumulative Trauma Disorders (UECTD) are musculoskeletal injuries or damage to the shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist, hands, and fingers. UECTDs are caused by conditions that impose excessive strain or stress on the body. In the workplace, these injuries may develop over time. Repeated job tasks and other ergonomic risk factors can cause UECTDs. Examples of upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders include compressed or impinged nerves, tendonitis, tennis or golfer's elbow, and carpel tunnel syndrome. Cumulative trauma disorders may also be referred to as repetitive strain injuries, overuse injuries, or repetitive motion injuries. Workplace Testing explains Upper Extremity Cumulative Trauma Disorders (UECTD)Collectively, cumulative trauma disorders are the leading cause of occupational disease in the United States. Injuries to the bones, joints, connective tissues, circulatory, and nervous systems may all be subject to cumulative trauma disorders. However, these injuries are not always caused by repetitive motions."

Share Your Story The use of X-rays allows physicians to look inside the body to diagnosis an injury or illness. When done for appropriate situations, X-rays are safe and beneficial. It is important that X-rays are not misused or overused because over a lifetime, a person may be exposed to a fairly large amount of cumulative radiation, and it is important than the benefit of each X-ray test be considered before it is done. Radiologic technologists are trained to use the least amount of radiation possible to produce an image that will help with diagnosis. The technologist or the radiologist (the physician who supervises the testing and then interprets the X-ray images) is often able to tell the patient how much radiation is being used. If you ask, and are told a dose of radiation, you may not understand what a dose of 1 millisievert (m Sv) might mean. But if this effective dose is converted into the amount of time it would take you to accumulate the same effective dose from background radiation, you could make a comparison. For example, the average background rate of radiation you are exposed to from the environment just by living in the United States is about 3 m Sv per year."

Each course is worth a certain number of credits which is usually based on how many hours the class is held each week. For example, if a calculus class is held for 4 hours a week, it is probably going to be worth 4 credits. To calculate the number of grade points received for each class, you need to multiply the number of course credits by the grade points received which is based on what course grade (Each course’s grade points = number of credits for the course X grade points received for it). Please note that schools sometimes have different grading systems.

As soon as I begin with an explanation using terms such as anthropometry, and risk factor, I notice the questioner's eyebrows furrow in confusion. By the time I start throwing out terms like OSHA, MSD, and ANSI, the person who questioned me is already walking away sorry that they ever asked. If anyone asks you to define what you do with ergonomics, give them a copy of these definitions before you begin. Administrative Control - Procedures and methods, set up by the employer, that significantly reduce exposure to risk factors by altering the way in which work is performed; examples include employee rotation, job task enlargement, and adjustment of work pace. ANSI - American National Standards Institute. A private, non-profit membership organization that coordinates voluntary standards activities. ANSI assists with standards-developers and standards users from the private sector and government to reach agreement on the need for standards and establish priorities. Anthropometry - Anthropometry is the branch of the human sciences that deals with body measurements. Awkward Posture -Posture is the position of the body while performing work activities."

"text": "\"FAQ What is an OSHA recordable? What is an OSHA Recordable? An OSHA recordable is an injury, illness, or death that OSHA deems to be recordable under its record keeping regulations. The answer to your question is that giving a medication, dose or a treatment that \"\"requires a prescription\"\" makes an injury \"\"recordable\"\" under OSHA guidelines. Therefore a \"\"prescription\"\" for 200mg ibuprofen is not recordable unless you tell the patient to take 3 pills at a time (a prescription dose of a non prescription medication.) Now, 400mg ibuprofen is not a prescription dose but is not available over the counter so likely would be considered a \"\"prescription\"\" medication. Confusing, huh? So when you gave that injured worker 400mg of ibuprofen that night that did not cause the injury to be listed as recordable but prescribing the antibiotic did. ( I hope it was more than a scratch. ) Next, duty status: Restricting duty will usually make an injury recordable under OSHA guidelines but not in all cases."

[ 3] Vincent Felitti, head of Kaiser Permanente’s Department of Preventive Medicine in San Diego, conducted interviews with people who had left the program, and discovered that a majority of 286 people he interviewed had experienced childhood sexual abuse. The interview findings suggested to Felitti that weight gain might be a coping mechanism for depression, anxiety, and fear. [ 3]Felitti and Robert Anda from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) went on to survey childhood trauma experiences of over 17,000 Kaiser Permanente patient volunteers. [ 3] The 17,337 participants were volunteers from approximately 26,000 consecutive Kaiser Permanente members. About half were female; 74.8% were white; the average age was 57; 75.2% had attended college; all had jobs and good health care, because they were members of the Kaiser health maintenance organization.

Sports-Related Recurrent Brain Injuries -- United States An estimated 300,000 sports-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) of mild to moderate severity (1), most of which can be classified as concussions (i.e., conditions of temporarily altered mental status as a result of head trauma), occur in the United States each year. The proportion of these concussions that are repeat injuries is unknown; however, there is an increased risk for subsequent TBI among persons who have had at least one previous TBI (2,3). Repeated mild brain injuries occurring over an extended period (i.e., months or years) can result in cumulative neurologic and cognitive deficits (4,5), but repeated mild brain injuries occurring within a short period (i.e., hours, days, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal. The latter phenomenon, termed \"\"second impact syndrome,\"\" has been reported more frequently since it was first characterized in 1984 (6-8). This report describes two cases of second impact syndrome and presents recommendations developed by the American Academy of Neurology to prevent recurrent brain injuries in sports and their adverse consequences (9).

Boxing's controlling bodies and the government have made some attempt to put into place a number of regulations, such as the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act, that seek to minimize the dangers. But boxing can and does have some serious effects on the health of people, mostly men, who are involved in the sport. Risks in Boxing Boxing ranks high as a dangerous sport. Although the number of boxers who have died as a result of the sport is not accurately known, it does, however, appear that death rates are much lower than in some sports, horse racing for instance. The difficulties of finding out exact death rates are affected, for instance, by differences in regulation between amateur and professional boxing, illegal boxing events, the way regulative bodies worldwide function, lack of long term studies and medical inaccuracy in relating apparent minor injury to later medical events. Here are some injuries that occur because of boxing. Head Injury The American Association of Neurological Surgeons says that 90 percent of boxers sustain a brain injury. Boxing may account for fewer deaths than some other sports but the numbers of boxers suffering brain damage are believed to be much higher than recorded. It is not surprising that head injury is so common in boxing."

It is concerned with the ‘fit’ between people and their technological tools and environments. It takes account of the user's capabilities and limitations in seeking to ensure that tasks, equipment, information and the environment suit each user. Why are ergonomics important? Ergonomics is an important factor in maintaining physical wellness. It provides guidelines on the prevention equipment and treatments that promote physical wellness. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. Many people do not realize that poorly designed computer workstation and bad work habits can result in serious health problems. What can happen if I don't use proper ergonomics?"

"text": "03Mar0Why Are Root Canals So Important? Posted By: emily Dental Tips In dentistry, we often hear patient’s frustrations expressed (understandably) something along the lines of: “Doc, my tooth was fine before you worked on it and now I need a root canal IN ADDITION to what you did?! Why didn’t you tell me I would need a root canal?”Even in today’s advancing digital dental world, the need for a root canal can be anything from blatantly obvious to completely unexpected. To complicate matters, dentists know that any tooth that has been treated with a root canal is structurally weaker than the same tooth with a vital living dental nerve. If a root canal is needed due to the tooth being physically displaced or due to decay that has indirectly or directly engaged the dental nerve, then the need for a root canal is obvious. If a tooth has been physically hit but not mobilized or decay is deep but does not either visually encroach upon the nerve perimeter or enter the nerve proper, then the tooth may or may not need a root canal in its near future. This tooth will then be at elevated risk of needing a root canal sometime in the future. Sometimes a tooth can have conservative dental restorations or even no restorations yet the dental nerve still dictates the need for root canal therapy. This is often the case for people who clench or brux their teeth with the chronic physical trauma of excess dento-muscular loading causing irreversible inflammation of the dental nerve. Dentists are limited in both the diagnostic tools available to test a tooth’s dental nerve and the practicality of their use."

While all of the 497 individuals on Forbes' 2002 list of the World's Richest People would consider $25,000 pocket change, it's a good bet that they didn't get to be billionaires being frivolous. To paraphrase the old saying: $25,000 here, $25,000 there, and soon you're talking real money. According to the hotels on our list, the majority of the clients who book their top rooms are wealthy families in the middle of remodeling their homes, film companies and corporations.

It was opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after being set on fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse; the parliament of the German Democratic Republic (the Volkskammer) met in the Palast der Republik in East Berlin, while the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (the Bundestag) met in the Bundeshaus in Bonn. The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on 3 October 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag. The term Reichstag, when used to connote a diet, dates back to the Holy Roman Empire.

"text": "\"Description FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to refractory castables, and more particularly to refractory materials conventionally referred to as \"\"trough\"\" castables. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION\"\"Trough castable\"\" is a term generally used to define refractory castable materials used in the iron-making industry. Trough castables are typically used in blast furnace cast house troughs and runners, tilting spouts, torpedo ladle cars, iron transfer ladles, iron mixers, cupolas and induction furnaces. In this wide range of applications, trough castables are exposed to many wear mechanisms that during normal operation will cause the refractory castable to corrode and erode away. Some of these wear mechanisms include thermal shock, iron erosion and slag corrosion. Thermal shock relates to sudden and rapid changes in the temperature of a trough castable that may cause stresses to develop within the refractory material. These stresses can reduce the service life of the refractory lining through cracking and spalling. Iron erosion is caused by flowing molten metal mechanically eroding the exposed surface of the refractory castable. Molten iron may also attack the constituents such as silica and other oxides within the castable, and deteriorate the refractory properties of the material. Slag attacks the trough castable by forming lower temperature melting phases through various chemical reactions which makes the castable more susceptible to wear."

"text": "\"Selecting The Right Size Cupola Cupolas are a great way to add décor to your home, garage, or just about any building and make the cupola the focal point of the structure. It also adds some curb appeal and makes your home stand out from the others in your neighborhood. Originally, cupolas were built to provide ventilation to buildings, and they still do, by allowing moist air from your house a place to escape. So adding a cupola to your roof can help to prevent issues like rotting wood, mold, mildew, or paint that peels from too much moisture. For homes in humid areas, this can be more of an issue, which is why adding a cupola is recommended for those. To ensure that your new cupola looks attractive and fits properly atop your shed, horse barn, garage, gazebo or home, follow these guidelines: Measure your roof's unbroken ridgeline all the way across. Unbroken ridgeline refers to a roofline that has nothing in the way, like chimneys or weathervanes. This assures that you have an even balance of distance between the ridgeline and cupola. Calculating Your Cupola Size To calculate the size of your cupola follow the general rule of thumb of multiplying by 1.25: Ridge Line Length (in feet) x 1.25\"\" = Minimum Cupola Size For roof lengths of 48' or longer, you might want to consider adding 2 or 3 cupolas to balance the space for the best look. Keep in mind that there should not be any other obstacles in its way when measuring for a roof of this size."

The rock marks the site from where Prophet Muhammad (s) made his Miraaj or Night Journey into the heavens and back to Makkah (Qur'an 17:1). The Dome of the Rock presents the first example of the Islamic world-view and is the symbol of the oneness and continuity of the Abrahamic, i.e. Jewish, Christian and Muslim faith.

The atmosphere of beauty that prevails in the Dome of the Rock is like a distant announcement of the destiny of paradise. Introduction First Muslim Masterpiece The Site History Architecture Introduction Under the rule of the Arabian caliphs, Palestine enjoyed four centuries of peace and prosperity. Jerusalem (Al-Quds) was the holy city of the Muslims, Jews, and the Christians. After the death of Caliph 'Ali (ra), husband of Fatimah (ra), and son-in-law of the Prophet (s), it was in Jerusalem that the Arab leaders met in 660 to elect as their king, Mu'awiyah, the founder of the dynasty of the Umayyads. The Arab chroniclers report that his first act upon becoming king was to go and pray at Golgotha and then at Gethsemane. After the death of Mu'awiyah's son, Yazid (680-693), Caliph Abd al Malik had the mosque known as the Dome of the Rock built at Jerusalem as a symbol of the unity of the three Abrahamic religions: Jewish, Christian and Islamic."

It was opened in 1894 and housed the Diet until 1933, when it was severely damaged after being set on fire. After World War II, the building fell into disuse; the parliament of the German Democratic Republic (the Volkskammer) met in the Palast der Republik in East Berlin, while the parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (the Bundestag) met in the Bundeshaus in Bonn. The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on 3 October 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by architect Norman Foster. After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag. The term Reichstag, when used to connote a diet, dates back to the Holy Roman Empire. The building was built for the Diet of the German Empire, which was succeeded by the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic."

Station construction began in November 1998 with the launch of Russia’s Zarya module.

Berg, AIAAs you search the web to find the perfect cupola for your garage, shed or barn, you’ll see that many retailers use the same formula to help you find the correct size. It’s easy to remember: for each foot of length of the main ridge of your building, a cupola should be at least one inch wide at its base. The base dimension is usually how cupolas are sized and sold. So, using the formula, a garage with a 24’ ridge should have a cupola that’s 24” wide, or larger, at its base. Easy to remember, right? The problem is that the formula is often wrong. It often produces a base dimension for a cupola that’s visually too small for the building that it’s mounted on. Building guide books from the 1950s included that formula."

Curing is any of various food preservation and flavoring processes of foods such as meat, fish and vegetables, by the addition of combinations of salt, nitrates, nitrites, [1] or sugar, with the aim of drawing moisture out of the food by the process of osmosis. Many curing processes also involve smoking, spicing, or cooking. Dehydration was the earliest form of food curing. [ 1] Because curing increases the solute concentration in the food and hence decreases its water potential, the food becomes inhospitable for the microbe growth that causes food spoilage. Curing can be traced back to antiquity, and was the primary way of preserving meat and fish until the late 19th century. Nitrates and nitrites, in conjunction with salt, are the most common agents in curing meat, because they further inhibit the growth of Clostridium botulinum. This combination of table salt with nitrates and/or nitrites is called curing salt and is often dyed pink to distinguish it from table salt. [ 2] Neither table salt, nor any of the nitrites or nitrates commonly used in curing (e.g. sodium nitrate, [3] sodium nitrite, [3] and potassium nitrate [4]) is naturally pink.

"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."

But what exactly is a nitrate? What’s the big deal? Is there even a big deal to be concerned about? ! Buying items labeled “free of nitrates” seems to be all the rage now and it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between a food fad (remember when fat-free was the only way to go?) and true health guidance.

Our tone was confrontative, and our position was a bit alarmist – and for that we apologize. ( We don’t always get it right on the first try.) So today, we’re tackling the “What about bacon?”"

I am of course talking about the pork belly, the main ingredient in bacon. Right? Well… It turns out when I say “bacon”, the French say poitrine fumée. When the French say “bacon”, I and the Americans say “Canadian bacon”, whilst the Canadians answer “we do have what you’re pointing at, but that is called back bacon “. The Italians are standing there, listening to us all, and they understand perfectly what the Americans mean when they say bacon, but the Italians themselves prefer to call it pancetta. And even if the pancetta sometimes looks like the American bacon, usually the pork belly is rolled instead, and not necessarily smoked. The English bacon is what the Americans call Canadian bacon, but with the fat strip intact. So the Brits don’t have their own “American bacon”, right ?"

Many conventional doctors, and well-meaning friends and relatives, will say you’re basically asking for a heart attack or cancer by eating the food many Paleo enthusiasts lovingly refer to as “meat candy”. The belief that nitrates and nitrates cause serious health problems has been entrenched in popular consciousness and media. Watch this video clip to see Steven Colbert explain how the coming bacon shortage will prolong our lives thanks to reduced nitrates in our diets. In fact, the study that originally connected nitrates with cancer risk and caused the scare in the first place has since been discredited after being subjected to a peer review. There have been major reviews of the scientific literature that found no link between nitrates or nitrites and human cancers, or even evidence to suggest that they may be carcinogenic. Further, recent research suggests that nitrates and nitrites may not only be harmless, they may be beneficial, especially for immunity and heart health. Confused yet? Let’s explore this issue further. Find out why you shouldn’t be concerned about nitrates & nitrites in bacon."

The suspect must be taken to a police station as soon as practicable after arrest. Once there the custody officer decides whether the suspect can be detained. Assuming the detention is authorised the suspect will be locked in a cell - which must be warm, clean etc. Detention can be for an initial maximum of 24 hours from the time of authorisation, but it must be reviewed after 6 hours and then every 9 hours. Once the 24 hours are up a senior officer can authorise a further 12 hours. After this time a magistrate can authorise another 36 hours, and finally yet another 24 hours after another application.

"text": "\"One of the most significant expressions of police power and authority over a citizen is the execution of a search of that citizen’s person or property. The unchecked government intrusion into the personal effects of any citizen was abhorrent to the founding fathers of this country. Because of this, the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution was written:“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. ”These words are the bedrock on which all statutory and case law involving searches is based. Statutory law is the codified law passed by the lawmakers at different levels of government. These laws allow legislative control and oversight of the law enforcement officers in their jurisdictions in regards to the Fourth Amendment. These laws primarily deal with the practical application of the Fourth Amendment (Form and wording of search warrants, manner of obtaining and executing search warrants, procedures for obtaining telephone warrants, etc.). Case law is law established through judicial decisions. A judge interprets the statutory and Constitutional laws and applies these laws to infinitely variable real life situations. Because of the difficulties created by these variables, there is a large volume of case law that has been established to deal with them."

A fine may be the whole sentence (penalty) or just part of the sentence you receive for the offence. You might receive a fine for an offence such as drink driving or disorderly conduct. Can I get a fine when I am not present in court? Yes, you do not necessarily need to be present in court for a fine to be issued against you. For certain offences, you may receive a court hearing notice, which gives you the choice to attend court or not. If you choose not to attend or do not respond to the notice, the court can deal with the offence in your absence and may impose a penalty, such as a fine, in your absence.

But what does it mean to be \"\"de-arrested\"\", asks Tom Heyden. Dean Farley was running to the gym when he accidentally knocked into the PM. He was immediately seized by security staff and whisked away in a police van. He was arrested but after being questioned he was then \"\"de-arrested\"\". But although in literal terms he was released without charge, \"\"de-arrested\"\" is not technically the same as \"\"released without charge\"\". The key difference in terminology is whether the person is taken into custody and processed, says a spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo). Normal procedure is that an arrested person is taken into the police station to a custody sergeant, to whom the arresting officer explains the case details, he says. If the arrest is valid then that person's belongings are taken and filed away."

"text": "What Does It Mean to Be an American: Essay Guide Posted on August 2, 2012 by Essay Shark If you are a true American college student, you will probably be assigned to write a Bob Dylan essay or baseball essay during your school days. Why? Well, just because you are an American! Who else can be a better national hero for the USA than Bob Dylan and which game is more American than the baseball? That’s a rhetorical question as all of us know the answer to it. That’s why it’s not weird that your teacher asked you to write a Bob Dylan essay and a baseball essay. Of course, even if these topics are quite popular, students often face difficulties while writing them. First of all, by assigning you to write a baseball essay or Bob Dylan essay, they want you to develop your writing skills. We all know that writing essays helps us to express our thoughts easily. Secondly, they want to make you feel proud of your country as baseball essay and Bob Dylan essay cover (as we have already mentioned above) very American things – favorite game and favorite music."

It is impossible to say whether or not a particular species of plant was intended by each of these terms. Most of them apply generally to thorny plants, of which there are many in Palestine at the present day. Commentators mention among the thorny plants of the Holy Land species of Zizyphus, such as Zizyphus spina-Christi, also Paliurus aculeatus, Acanthus spinosus, Ononis spinosa, Solanum spinosum, Tribulus terrestris, Lycium europæum, and species of Rhamnus, Centaurea, and Astragalus. Since man’s fall, thorns of all kinds have come up on the ground, which was cursed (Gen. 3:18); and God in chastening Israel often refers to the curse of thorns. Thus Isaiah says, “Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers” (32:13); and Hosea prophesies that “the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars” (10:8)."

"text": "\"Society & Culture Cultures & Groups Other - Cultures & Groups What the hell is an EMO person anyway? What does EMO mean exactly? Update: Ok and emotive rock is like emotionally motivated rock?1 following 33 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Emo is a somewhat ambiguous, controversial slang term most frequently used to describe a fashion or subculture which is usually defined to have its roots in punk fashion and subculture, as well as some attributes of gothic fashion and subculture. Emo fashion is usually defined to have roots in punk fashion as well as gothic fashion. By almost all current definitions, emo clothing is characterized by tight jeans on males and females alike, long fringe (bangs) often brushed to one side of the face, dyed black, straightened hair, tight t-shirts which often bear the names of rock bands, studded belts, belt buckles, Chuck Taylor All-Stars, skate shoes, or other black shoes—often old and beaten up—and thick, black-rimmed glasses. When referring to a person's personality and attitude, most definitions of emo hold that an \"\"emo person\"\" is candid about their emotions, sensitive, shy, introverted, broken-hearted, glum, and often quiet. Emo personality is also often connected with writing poetry, which addresses confusion, depression, loneliness, and anger, all resulting from the world's inability to understand the author. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, concern over the mutability of time and/or love, and disregard for punctuation, grammar, and/or spelling. Themes such as life is pain are common. Some definitions of emo hold that typical \"\"emo persons\"\" are likely to inflict self-injury, most often by means of cutting, burning, or otherwise mutilating themselves."

"text": "Dehumidifier Frequently Asked Questions After getting some rather interesting questions on dehumidifiers from my original blog entry, I figured I would try answering some here as well as some other dehumidifier related questions I saw around the web. Please note than I am not an expert on these, so if in doubt, please ask a confident professional, such as at a DIY centre. How much water does a typical dehumidifier extract per day? Most manufacturers love to make claims of 10 to 20 litres per day on most small domestic dehumidifiers and up to 50 litres on larger models. However, these figures are under extreme conditions such as 85% relative humidity at 30C. The exception is with desiccant based dehumidifiers, which give a near-consistent extraction rate regardless of the temperature and humidity level. From my experience, for 60% RH at around 20C, most refrigerant (compressor) dehumidifiers remove between 30% and 40% of their capacity rating. For example a 10 litre dehumidifier will remove between 3 and 4 litres per day and a 20 litre dehumidifier will remove between 6 and 8 litres per day. This is with the dial set to “Continuous” and where the humidity remains roughly between 55% and 60% while the dehumidifier is in operation. These figures don’t vary much for a few degrees higher/lower, however, the extraction rate falls significantly once the relative humidity goes below 50%. When the temperature falls below about 18C, refrigerant (compressor) based dehumidifiers will form ice and perform periodic defrosting cycles."

As with many manufacturing techniques, fiber reinforced plastic came into wide use in the military. Part of the reason for this is the ease with which objects can be created by combining these two materials. It is also quite strong when compared with an equal weight of steel. Fiber reinforced plastics can be as much as six times stronger than steel at an equal weight. But the real attraction here is object made with this material require no high temperatures, a modest collection of tools, and best of all, very little prior experience.

It’s interesting to see how people react to price. I’ve quoted potential clients the same price on the same clothing item and received completely opposite responses. The first potential clients felt I’m too expensive; the other asked me why I’m selling my beautiful hand-made clothing so cheaply. Confusing isn’t it!The price of clothing is all about expectation and what the market is willing to bear. A smart businessman will watch his costs like a hawk but never price according to cost. Instead they’ll seek to position their product where it is of higher value than the cash being exchanged for it in the eyes of the buyer and less valuable than that same cash in the eyes of the seller. A perfect trade, one where both parties are left satisfied."

"text": "\"Nudity in Art: A Virtue or Vice?by Brian Yoder What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed? Michelangelo The Complaint Some people feel that the nude form is something that should be hidden away both in art and the artist's classroom. Although this may seem at first like a mere annoyance, such people frequently attempt to stop others from viewing or learning from the human form, thereby infringing on their rights to create and consume art as they wish. On the ARC website there are countless paintings and sculptures featuring nude figures. From time to time, this anti-nudity theme pops up in the ARC website feedback and on the Good Art mailing list, normally starting because someone says something along the lines of \"\"All of this would be wonderful if only you would hide or eliminate the presence of nudity on the site. \"\" I believe that one source of this sort of comment arises from a lack of understanding of how the best art is taught and created. All of the recommended art training programs promoted by ARC include nude figure drawing in the curriculum, and thus it has always been, back to the days of the ancient Greeks. In fact, it would be virtually impossible to teach someone how to draw accurate human anatomy without this essential tool. Even to depict a clothed figure one needs to fully understand the mechanics of what is underneath. Drawing the nude figure is the only way to accomplish this, as is the practice of learning how to draw the bones and muscles beneath the skin."

This is interesting, since the carpet and tile are usually both at the same temperature (i.e. the temperature of the interior of the house). The different sensations we feel is explained by the fact that different materials transfer heat at different rates. Tile and stone conduct heat more rapidly than carpet and fabrics, so tile and stone feel colder in winter since they transfer heat out of your foot faster than the carpet does. [ Wait, I thought \"\"coldness\"\" was entering my body. ] People usually think of the sensation of cold as \"\"coldness entering the body\"\", but feeling cold is better thought of as \"\"heat energy leaving the body\"\". In general, good conductors of electricity (metals like copper, aluminum, gold, and silver) are also good heat conductors, whereas insulators of electricity (wood, plastic, and rubber) are poor heat conductors.

Off-the-rack suits are typically machine made in large batches, and tend to be cut loose to fit on as many men in the given size range as possible. Thus they fit a hundred different shapes, but fit all of them poorly. Unless you happen to have the one body type that the pattern was designed for, a mass-produced suit is going to need adjusting in multiple places before it fits your body somewhat attractively. Designer suits do a better job with this by making their off-the-rack clothing from a less forgiving pattern.

What factors determine if our clothing choices are comfortable? What is the source of our water? Students explore characteristics that define climatic regions. They learn how tropical, desert, coastal and alpine climates result in different lifestyles, clothing, water sources and food options for the people who live there. They learn that a location's latitude, altitude, land features, weather conditions and distance from large bodies of water, determines its climate. Students discuss how engineers help us adapt to all climates by designing clothing, shelters, weather technologies and clean water systems.

By Mark Schatzker Can you tell how good a steak is going to taste by looking at it? The government thinks you can. That's why, when a USDA meat grader assesses the quality of a beef carcass, he or she makes an incision between the 12 th and 13 th rib, takes a good look at how much marbling there is, and assigns the meat a grade, from the highest, Prime, to Choice and Select and all the way down to Canner. That's why a well-marbled steak, one that is abundantly flecked with little specks and streaks of white fat, costs a lot more than a steak that's all red muscle. But is marbling all there is to a good steak? Doesn't, say, a cow's diet have something to do with the way a steak tastes? And can someone please explain why that gargantuan USDA Prime strip loin I ate in Las Vegas last year had about as much flavor as a cup of tap water? I decided to find out for myself."

"text": "Turf grass is a landscaping and lawn gardening term for the grass used on a lawn. This type of grass is in contrast with ornamental grasses, which are generally larger, taller, and grow in bunches. Well-known types of turf grass include St. Augustine grass, centipede grass, and zoysia grass. Though usually prized for its luxurious carpet, which softens the ground for playgrounds and sports events, turf grass has an important purpose in many landscaping designs. Properly planted grass can help prevent flooding and prevent erosion during heavy rains. In hot areas, a well-maintained lawn can help cool the ground and surrounding areas, reducing the need for electric cooling. Turf grass has its advantages, but keeping a healthy carpet of grass does present its challenges. Most of these types of grasses are susceptible to diseases, pests, and soil problems that can cause brown spots or lawn death. Generally, good cultural practices, also known as lawn care, will prevent a lawn from developing major pest and disease problems, but some levels of pest or disease infestation must be addressed with direct treatment. Types of insect pests that invade turf grass patches include grubs, chinch bugs, and sod webworms."

Now, I do. Now I have to go to the local feed store and buy not in bulk. I arrive at the feed store and look up at the huge white board that has all the different forages available that day, the weight per bale and the ‘cutting’.?? Why would the ‘cutting’ matter?

Some grasslands, such as those of the Solway merse, Hebridean machair or Caithness cliffs are natural. These have evolved to withstand immersion by floods and tides, or exposure to winds and salt-laden storms. Natural grasslands Saltmarsh Saltmarsh, immersed by the tides, comprises a more or less continuous turf of grasses and wildflowers. Grasses such as sea poa, in the most frequently inundated lower marsh, give way to others such as red fescue in the upper parts of the marsh. The upper reaches, immersed by only the highest Spring Tides, are used to graze cattle and sheep during summer. They may be tinged pink by drifts of thrift or, in late summer, purple by the Michaelmas daisy-like flowers of sea aster. Salt marshes are key winter resting and feeding places for migratory wildfowl; the Solway merse supports the entire Spitzbergen population of barnacle geese throughout the winter. Machair Machair is a coastal grassland found in the north-west highlands and islands of Scotland. It occurs where rapidly shifting dunes of shell-sand are colonised first by marram grass, then by other species of plant like red fescue and sand sedge – the latter bringing order to chaos as its shoots rise from dead-straight rhizomes to make dotted lines across the sand."

"text": "A List of Horse Hay Types and How to Use Them Effectively; Depending On Your Horses’ Environment Posted on December 19, 2010 by Beverly Jansen There are probably more hay varieties out there in this vast world that I have never even heard of. The types of hay that I am familiar with are: Timothy hay: This is a hearty basic hay that can be fed to horses in a considerable amount without worrying about causing a horse to gain too much weight too quickly. It consists of thick grassy stems with small one or two inch brush like tops. If you are new into the horse world, this is probably a good hay to start with. Clover hay: Clover is considered a sweet hay that is quite rich. This hay is short stemmed with usually red or purple bulb like tops. It usually is mixed with other types of hay. If you were to buy straight clover be aware that it is not a green type of hay. It will have a tendency to turn more towards a darker brown color. The color may be off putting but as soon as you give it to your horse and see how quickly he or she gobbles it up, you will change your mind."

"text": "\"The Story Of Second Cut, First Cut Hay Liam, Zelda, Rosemary: Second Cut The amount of hay cuttings in a given season depends on a number of things – rain, heat, geography. Farmers and animal lovers have been arguing for years about whether there is much of a difference between first and second cut (or even third or fourth cut, not often available up here), and I have my own opinions about it, having been buying, tasting and observing animals and their health and diet for more than a decade. First cut is generally the first time hay is cut, it starts growing in the field in the Spring. Farmers mow (cut) the hay down as the hot and dry weather of the summer comes. The green cut hay is permitted to dry out in the fields and under a warming sun and is then baled – either in smaller, square bales or the much bigger round bales – and transported and sold. Cows invariably get round bales of first cut, left out in the elements. Cows are not fussy about what they eat. They are generally given grain as well. First cut hay is grass heavy and doesn't have a lot of legumes, such as alfalfa or cover. In late July or August, weather permitting, this second stand (a/k/a second cut) is harvested, dried and baled."

By HILARY GREENBAUM and DANA RUBINSTEIN MARCH 16, 2012Jens Mortensen for The New York Times; Prop stylist: Josephine Shokrian Before a British inventor named Edwin Beard Budding conceived of the mower, the cropped lawn was the province of the landed gentry, who would employ teams of men to trim grass with scythes. But lawn care was far from Budding’s mind when he invented the push mower. His original brief was to solve a mechanical problem for a clothing mill regarding the production of guardsmen’s uniforms. Budding was asked to come up with a way to “cut all the tufts and bobbly bits off the nap of the cloth,” writes Brian Radam in “Lawn Mowers and Grasscutters: A Complete Guide.” Budding soon realized the device had other applications. In 1830, he filed a patent for a machine that, when pushed and pulled, would cause a cylindrical blade to rotate over a stationary shear, cutting grass and collecting the clippings. The mower may have put the scythe men out of work, but it enabled the English fashion for grass carpets. By the mid-19th century, the style made its way to America. The timing was propitious."

While the bulb is the most distinguishing characteristic, there are other features that can help you figure out if the flower is a lily. Observe the number of petals on the flower.

The human sense of smell is not heavily used compared to that of many animals. Still, it's a deep and rich sense, and it can enhance how you communicate (especially when you're crafting a story or describing a moment). It can enhance how you experience your other senses (particularly taste, such as tasting complex flavors in wine and dark chocolate ), and even with determining when fruit is ripe or milk is spoiled. If you'd like to pin down a smell in words, here are some tips that can help you. Steps1 Identify your reason for describing the smell. Why do you want to communicate it? Your description may be different depending on whether you are writing a technical manual or writing a poem. If you're describing the smell aloud, your tone of voice and body language may lend an additional level of meaning. Do you want to capture the nature of the smell or the overall quality?"

The feeding program at Able Oaks Ranch is based on body scoring and monthly weigh-ins to determine if an animal is gaining and/or maintaining weight appropropriately. The Camelid Digestive System Camelids (alpacas and llamas) have three stomachs. The first stomach is primarily a big fermentation vat that breaks down the cellulose in the hay and grass that the alpacas eat. The second and third stomachs extract the nutritional components. This type of digestive system is very efficient, enabling alpacas and llamas to get every last bit of nutrition from what they eat. So to keep your alpacas and llamas healthy, you must keep their first stomach working in a good, steady working state. If an animal gets sick, weak from parasites, or ingests the wrong feed, then the digestive process in the first stomack will be disrupted."

Michael Blann/i Stock/Thinkstock Few moments evoke a sense of summer like catching a whiff of freshly cut grass. For many people, it's a pleasant sign that warmer temperatures are here to stay. For the grass, however, this scent signals an entirely different story. The smell we associate with freshly cut grass is actually a chemical distress call, one used by plants to beg nearby critters to save them from attack (usually it's an affront by insects, but in this case, it's lawnmower blades). After all, when danger strikes -- whether it's landscaping equipment or a hungry caterpillar -- plants can't lift their roots and run. They must fight where they stand. To protect themselves, plants employ a volley of molecular responses. These chemical communications can be used to poison an enemy, alert surrounding plants to potential dangers or attract helpful insects to perform needed services [source: Krulwich ]."

Overview One can have green grass all year long in Phoenix, even though the winter and summer climates are very different. The way this is done is by growing Bermuda grass in summer and Rye grass in winter. Although grass consumes relatively large amounts of water, an accurate understanding of how much water the grass really needs can minimize waste. Bermuda Grass Life Cycle Bermuda is grown in the Phoenix area in summer. It can take the desert's hottest weather as long as it has sufficient water. During winter it is dormant, meaning that it is yellow and appears dead. However, below the surface it is alive and waiting for warmer weather. Bermuda usually starts to slow down and go dormant in September and starts growing again in May. This life cycle makes it so Bermuda does not have to be replanted each year."

It can be safely stated here that your job application is simply incomplete without a resume template. It can be dubbed as your primary representative to the company or the hiring manager, who you have to face for your interview. These templates are intended for personal use only. In case of commercial use, please give credit to this post. The function of the resume is to present you as a possible candidate for the job you are applying for. Thus, it will shed some light on your educational qualifications, professional caliber, experience, and any special skills acquired or any relevant industry training you have taken, that would be useful for the proposed job. In short, the resume template will highlight your knowledge base and all the hard and soft skills that you possess and have developed, which could leverage your potential as a prospective candidate before the hiring manager. Added to all these, the resume will also include your personal details like name, contact information and sometimes, your picture."

I decided to find an inexpensive way to change the boots, and from my search online this is one way to do it. Before starting anything, I recommend buying and wearing a decent pair of safety glasses through the entire process. Also, wear gloves!Since this is a messy job I would also recommend placing a towel or cardboard under the vehicle during the entire process.

However, both are important tools in job selection and recruitment. Both provide information about the job seeker to the employer. Out of these two, CVs are supposed to be more detailed and lengthier than resumes. When searching for employment, candidates require a tool to market themselves to the employer. In these scenarios, a curriculum vitae or a resume are the most effective instruments in listing down personal significant information about the person applying for the job and his past academic and professional accomplishments which show his drive for commitment to work. What is a CV? CV is short for curriculum vitae and lists a person’s past work experience, the description of major projects undertaken, the academic qualifications and the personal skills that the person possesses that determines their compatibility with the skills required for the job applied for. The CV is more detailed. Though both the terms are used interchangeably, the most prominent difference between the two is of length."

"text": "\"hideko1979/i Stock/Thinkstock CARS. COM — Front-wheel vehicles, many all-wheel vehicles and some rear-wheel vehicles have constant-velocity joints, also known as CV joints, that connect the transmission to the drive axles and wheels. A front-wheel car will have four CV joints, each covered by a boot. Related: More Maintenance Coverage CV joints are covered by rubber or plastic boots. Known as a CV boot or drive axle boot, these parts are responsible for keeping the joints lubricated and preventing dirt and water from getting in. Unfortunately, this is a part that sometimes fails. If a CV boot tears, grease can leak out and moisture and dirt can get in. If left unattended, it's only a matter of time before the joint fails from lack of lubrication or corrosion. When that happens, the whole axle may need to be replaced. CV axle boots often last the life of a vehicle and are not listed among items that need periodic replacement as part of vehicle maintenance."

"text": "What Is the Difference Between a Resume and a CV? When applying for a job, many companies require that a resume or a CV be submitted so that hiring managers can review a potential hire’s qualifications before calling him or her in for an interview. Those who are interested in applying for a new job should understand the differences between a resume and CV before they move forward with the application process. The Basics of a CVA Curriculum Vitae, or a CV, is a highly-detailed document that is generally one or more pages in length. These documents go in depth about a person’s achievements and can cover a potential hire’s education in addition to any other accomplishments, such as awards or industry-related certifications. One of the main differences between a resume and CV is that CVs tend to be organized chronologically so that a person’s full working career is covered. Additionally, these documents are static and remain consistent regardless of what type of position is being applied for. The Basics of a Resume Another one of the biggest differences between a resume and CV is that resumes are very concise, usually not exceeding one page in length. The main reason why resumes are not long documents is because they are not intended for the reader to dwell on them for extended periods of time. Instead, the purpose of a resume is to help a candidate stand out from his or her competition."

Share our stuff!April 5, 2018By BD Auto Pro The wheel bearings in your car take a lot of abuse and, not surprisingly, why we get a lot of questions about wheel bearing noise and signs of bad bearings. Not only does a wheel bearing have to support the entire weight of your vehicle while it is traveling over rough roads, potholes and maybe the occasional curb, they also have to take the lateral forces of corners you take and have to do all that while allowing your wheel to spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. Unlike your engine bearings, your wheel bearings don’t have a constant supply of oil lubricating and cooling them, they have to be self-sufficient and also be sealed tight enough to keep road dust and water out of them. Bearings are used in all sorts of things we use every day so you might be interested to learn about more uses for bearings!Do I have a Bad Wheel Bearing?

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 3:53Since a wheel bearing has to accomplish all this for hundreds of thousands of miles, it’s not surprising that they wear out occasionally. Wheel bearing wear can happen for a variety of reasons we’ll look at in a minute, but the effect is usually lots a loud hum coming from that wheel sort of like loud road noise from bad tires. A similar noise can come from worn bearings in your transmission or even a low transmission fluid level."

"text": "\"This Site Was Built With You In Mind!Car Clicking Noise, What Is It?by Eddie Carrara Car clicking noise while turning is very common in front wheel drive vehicles, in fact, at one point in my automotive career, I was fixing this noise on several different cars per day. A clicking noise while turning in a front wheel drive car is usually caused by damaged or worn CV joints. CV joints are mounted on each end of a front axle, they transfer power to the wheels from the transmission. The CV joint allows flexibility in each end of the axle shaft as the vehicle is going down the road. A CV joint on a car is similar to the ankle and wrist on the human body. The CV joint is what allows movement at each end of the axle shaft while the suspension is moving up and down and the wheels are turning in either direction. Imagine trying to walk with ankles that are ridged and had no flexibility, or try doing anything with your hands if your wrists were stiff. Your wrists and ankles allow movement in any direction to the hands and feet, if you didn't have ankles and wrist, eventually you would end up braking your arm or leg, it's the same with axles, if you didn't have a CV joint at each end, the axle would brake because there is no flexibility. What Do the Letters ''CV'' in CV Joint Stand For? CV are initials, it stands for \"\"Constant Velocity,\"\" no matter what angle the axle is at, it will supply the same amount of force to the wheel from the transmission, without any extra energy from the engine."

The Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM) are in the best position to provide these data in bulk. Express Scripts, CVS Health, and United Health (which is also the largest health insurance company) are the three top PBMs . Surescripts, which handles almost all electronic prescription transactions, is half owned by pharmacy associations with the rest split between CVS and Express Scripts.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Transmission types Manual Sequential manual Non-synchronous Preselector Automatic Manumatic Semi-automatic Electrohydraulic Saxomat Dual-clutch Continuously variable Bicycle gearing Derailleur gears Hub gearsv t e A continuously variable transmission ( CVT ), also known as a single-speed transmission, stepless transmission, pulley transmission, or, in case of motorcycles, a twist-and-go, is an automatic transmission that can change seamlessly through a continuous range of effective gear ratios. This contrasts with other mechanical transmissions that offer a fixed number of gear ratios. The flexibility of a CVT with suitable control may allow the input shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity even as the output speed varies. A belt-driven design offers approximately 88% efficiency, [1] which, while lower than that of a manual transmission, can be offset by lower production cost and by enabling the engine to run at its most efficient speed for a range of output speeds. When power is more important than economy, the ratio of the CVT can be changed to allow the engine to turn at the RPM at which it produces greatest power. This is typically higher than the RPM that achieves peak efficiency. In low-mass low-torque applications (such as motor scooters) a belt-driven CVT also offers ease of use and mechanical simplicity. A CVT does not strictly require the presence of a clutch. Nevertheless, in some vehicles (e.g. motorcycles), a centrifugal clutch is added [2] to facilitate a \"\"neutral\"\" stance, which is useful when idling or manually reversing into a parking space.

Seating5/5See All Specs2012 jeep compass Model Overview The Jeep Compass carries over to the 2012 model year with no major changes. Two engine options remain for 2012, the base 158-hp 2.0-liter I-4 with 141 lb-ft of torque, and the optional 172-hp 2.4-liter I-4 with 165 lb-ft of torque. Jeep offers three transmission choices on the front-drive and all-wheel-drive Compass: a five-speed manual transmission, a continuously-variable transmission, and on 2.4-liter Compass models with AWD, an off-road capable CVT that includes “low range gearing. ”Considering its age, the Jeep Compass comes well-equipped from the factory. All Compass’ get frivolous (and fun) features like illuminated cup holders standard. The Compass has another party piece when the 368-watt nine-speaker Boston Acoustics sound system box is checked on the option sheet. With the upgraded sound system, the tailgate gets two speakers that (with the tailgate open) are capable of flipping down and spinning to face outside the car, making the Compass a great tailgater. Changes for 2012 are minimal and it’s no secret that Jeep will be replacing the Compass and its Patriot stablemate with a Fiat-sourced crossover in the coming years."

It is suburbia, USA and that means you hit lots of stop lights and have to get up to 45, just to stop for another stop light. Rarely is there ever any real highway driving, in which you go for 5+ miles at highway speed. So all in all, a 23-25mpg in this situation is great. At higher highway speeds, for long periods, I say 28mpg (acutal measured using miles and gallons calcs) vs. trusting the car computer. For the size and weight of the car, I'd say that is great! And I leave it in the ECO mode, to save more MPGs though there is a normal mode, and sport mode. The car has plenty of power, even in ECO mode, so don't be fooled by fancy ads, the mpg's are great! see full Toyota RAV4 review20134dr SUV 176-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD Fuel economy is exactly as advertised, 25mpg overall."

"text": "\"Review: 2009 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SV, Take Two By Frank Williams on July 27, 2009Tweet While Ford and GM consider building their mid- and full-size cars on a single platform, Toyota and Nissan are already doing it. The Avalon has been based on the Camry platform since its inception and now Nissan is giving us an Altima-based Maxima. The key to pulling this trick off successfully is differentiating the resultant cars visually and dynamically and, preferably, aiming them at different market segments. Did Nissan succeed at this mission, or did they just give us an Altimus Maximus? Previously the Maxima was Nissan’s largest car. It still is, but it’s nowhere near full-sized. Its wheelbase is the same as the Altima’s; it’s less than an inch longer and actually has less front headroom (thanks to the standard sunroof), legroom and hip room. Its track is a bit wider but overall it casts pretty much the same shadow as its lesser brother. Fortunately it owes more of its looks to the 370Z and the GT-R than the Altima. The taut lines are creased and folded to perfection and the view from the drivers seat over the sculpted hood and bulging front fenders is almost worth the price of admission alone."

If a Forester is good then a turbo Forester must be great according to my juvenile definition of the world.

"text": "\"What is a transmission The transmission is a device that is connected to the back of the engine. It transmits mechanical power from the engine to the drive wheels. The transmission is used to reduce the revolutions of the crankshaft down to a reasonable value by using interlocking gears to reduce the number of revolutions. By doing so, it makes more effective usage of the engine's torque and helps to keep the engine operating at an appropriate speed. Common types of Transmission• Manual transmission• Automatic transmission• CVT (Continuous variable transmission)• Semi automatic transmission• Tip Tronic® gearbox• DSG (Direct shift gearbox)DSG transmission can shift gear in an incredible time of 8 milliseconds!Manual transmission Most manual transmissions feature a movable gear selector and clutch. The driver of the vehicle has to manually select and engage the gear ratios. The clutch is a coupling device that is used to separate the engine and transmission. Without it, the engine would stop, causing the vehicle to stop. The clutch allows the engine to continue working when you are waiting at the traffic light. Changing gear without a clutch would be difficult with the crank spinning continuously while the engine is running."

However, Corolla sales are down 11 percent this year compared the same span in 2016. Competitive Prices: The Corolla comes standard with an automatic transmission and starts at $18,500, which is about average among its main competitors. However, it does undercut a base Civic with an automatic transmission by $1,040. The Corolla also comes with more advanced safety features than the Civic. Time to Buy: Although sales have declined a bit this year, Corolla demand is still strong by segment standards, so it’s unlikely you will able to negotiate a significant price cut at the dealership. This month’s Toyota deals could ease the financial burden, though. For a better price in the class, consider the slower-selling Kia Forte.

"text": "\"By Jack Baruth Jan 7, 2016 14.7k Dodge It was just over ten years ago that we lost my favorite automotive writer of all time, LJK Setright. A classical musician, law student, and accomplished photographer, Setright is probably best known for the forged-steel certainty with which he promoted his iconoclast and contrarian beliefs. In particular, he loved to chastise the auto industry for what he perceived as a reactionary attitude towards technology, turning his vitriol against targets as diverse as Mercedes-Benz (for retaining wooden wheels on some models well into the Thirties) and Jaguar (for \"\"ruining\"\" the aerodynamic stability of the 1994 XJ6 with the round-headlight 1995 re-style). One of Setright's more controversial stances was his steadfast preference for the automatic transmission. This might not seem so outrageous in 2016, where everything from the BMW 3-Series wagon to the entire Ferrari lineup comes standard without a clutch pedal, but forty years ago the man stood more or less alone in the auto-journo world. He ridiculed the \"\"antiquated\"\" manual transmission while noting that the arrival of synchromesh gearboxes took all the skill out of driving a stick anyway. A major percentage of his book Drive On is dedicated to arguing the superiority of the self-shifting, planetary-geared transmission. Yet even that arrangement didn't quite satisfy Setright, although he was unstinting in his praise of Porsche's Seventies-era decision to equip the original 928 with a PRNDL gate as standard equipment. The man saved his highest praise for what he considered to be the only truly proper transmission design on the market: the continuously variable transmission, or CVT. If you, like most of the drivers out there, have only experienced the CVT as part of a relatively staid Japanese sedan like the Nissan Altima or Honda Civic, I doubt that you have any fondness for the idea."

"text": "It’s tempting to think of the CR-Z hybrid as the second coming of the CRX, Honda’s light, tossable mid-1980s funster, what with the two cars’ stubby rear ends, two-seat layouts, and frugal intentions. At the CR-Z launch, in fact, Honda plopped us down in a cherry 1985 CRX Si and told us to go nuts. We did, and we’re sorry, Big H, but the CR-Z just isn’t quite as awesome. Where the impish CRX used lightness and a stripped-down approach to deliver entertainment and efficiency, the CR-Z looks to a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. The difference between the two paths is stark, or so goes conventional wisdom. With less weight and simplicity come fun and momentum-style hoonage, and with a hybrid powertrain comes, well, soul-crushing dullness. Somewhat shockingly, however, this hybrid is entertaining, even as it tries to marry the disparate concepts of sport and efficiency. Nowhere is that conflict more evident than in the two transmissions. Opt for the six-speed manual, and the CR-Z delivers perhaps the most transparent hybrid experience available today, because you control the shift points and how quickly the gears are changed. Particularly with the three-mode adjustable drive system in sport mode, it’s a relatively fun little car."

Meanwhile, every major motorcycle manufacturer is developing fresh bikes to appeal to a new generation of riders, with a renewed focus on looking at ways to lower inhibitions of entry-level riders. Case in point, this trio of motorcycles, none of which is equipped with a clutch lever. This shootout was originally slated to have only two bikes, the Aprilia Mana 850 GT ABS and the Honda NC700X DCT ABS, since they represent the two clutch-leverless strategies employed on full-sized motorcycles currently available. Without a manually operated clutch to manipulate, both will likely charm new riders or re-entry riders with their terrific ease of use. They also feature similar riding positions and decently sized storage bins where you’d normally find fuel tanks. To complicate matters a little, we decided to see if BMW’s C600 Sport could compete in this class. We really enjoyed our time with the C600’s more luxurious brother, the C650GT, during our Uber Scooter Shootout, so it seemed the sportier maxi scooter might be able to hang with its non-scooter rivals. We wanted to see if the gap between big-bore scooters and motorcycles was insurmountable. Because these bikes are mostly directed at less experienced riders, we decided to bring a re-entry rider into the testing mix."

I can reliably reproduce an issue where the CVT stutters or jerks when gradually accelerating at in-town speeds (e.g., 10-40 MPH). It happens most often when going from a slow speed (e.g., 5-10 MPH) and gradually accelerating. I took it to the dealer and the garage manager rode with me and experienced the problem. We then went and got another 2013 LX off the car lot and drove it, and eventually reproduced the issue there as well. Later, the shop hooked up my car to the diagnostic tools and drove it to reproduce the issue, but no codes or out-of-spec messages appeared, so they said this is normal. Has anyone else felt this jerky behavior with the new CVT in the 2013 Accord?

In fact, some people will tell you it’s simply a “Black Art” that takes years to understand. As an engineer I always look for evidence that supports a complete theory of clutching. What has always worked for me is using computer simulation to give direction in which way a mechanical system will behave. Often, simply removing preconceived notions from my way of thinking can result in true knowledge gained. This has been my experience many times, what I thought was true, was not! When you have an end result in mind before you start a project you rarely come up with the right answer. Always ask yourself, “how does the system fit together, how does one component react with the other component in the system? Figure 1Clutching is one of those high emotional areas of snowmobiling."

[ 1] [2]In British English, the term transmission refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive), differential, and final drive shafts. In American English, however, the term refers more specifically to the gearbox alone, and detailed usage differs. [ note 1]The most common use is in motor vehicles, where the transmission adapts the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel."

Flag What is the meaning of cvt on automatic transmission? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that is very different from normal auto transmissions. CVT stands for Continuously Variable Transmission. The theory behind CVT is that there are infinite gear combinations. There are no set \"\"gears\"\". What I mean by this is your normal auto transmission will have 3,4, 5 up to 8 specific gears. The transmission finds the right gear and then move up or down to the next set gear depending on your driving needs. Regardless of how smooth an automatic transmission is there will still be a momentary loss of power when the gears shift."

Well, there's one notable difference: Audi discontinued the optional V6 engine shortly after the current A4 debuted, so the 2014 A4 continues to offer just one engine, a turbocharged 4-cylinder. Until recently, the 4-cylinder A4 was doing just fine, thank you very much. But now other luxury brands have hopped on the turbo 4-cylinder bandwagon, and the A4's engine may be outgunned. Even with an extra 9 horsepower for 2014, Audi's 2.0T motor trails rival turbo 4-cylinders from BMW and Cadillac, and its fuel economy isn't great, either. Also, Volkswagen's CC features a similar 2.0T engine at a steep discount. Still, the A4 has a lot to offer. The optional quattro all-wheel-drive system makes the most of those 220 hp, and the A4 does outperform the 201-hp Mercedes C250. Moreover, Audi has worked wonders with the A4's handling, now close to class-leading in our estimation."

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Cars & Motorcycles Continuously Variable Transmission What it is, how it works Share Flipboard Email Print2014 Nissanby Aaron Gold Updated April 05, 2018What is a continuously variable transmission? A continuously variable transmission, or CVT, is a type of automatic transmission that provides more useable power, better fuel economy and a smoother driving experience than a traditional automatic transmission. How CVT works Conventional automatic transmissions use a set of gears that provides a given number of ratios (or speeds). The transmission shifts gears to provide the most appropriate ratio for a given situation: Lowest gears for starting out, middle gears for acceleration and passing, and higher gears for fuel-efficient cruising. The CVT replaces the gears with two variable-diameter pulleys, each shaped like a pair of opposing cones, with a metal belt or chain running between them. One pulley is connected to the engine (input shaft) and the other to the drive wheels (output shaft). The halves of each pulley are movable; as the pulley halves come closer together the belt is forced to ride higher on the pulley, effectively making the pulley's diameter larger. Changing the diameter of the pulleys varies the transmission's ratio (the number of times the output shaft spins for each revolution of the engine), in the same way, that a 10-speed bike routes the chain over larger or smaller gears to change the ratio. Making the input pulley smaller and the output pulley larger gives a low ratio (a large number of engine revolutions producing a small number of output revolutions) for better low-speed acceleration. As the car accelerates, the pulleys vary their diameter to lower the engine speed as car speed rises."

"text": "\"Review: 2011 Nissan Juke By Edward Niedermeyer on August 25, 2010Tweet Because car enthusiasts tend to be more interested in cars themselves than the industry that creates them, critics and commentators tend to praise engineers while vilifying accountants, marketers and the countless other professions required to bring a new car to production. The assumption seems to be that engineers develop great cars which are then cheapened, blandified and otherwise screwed up by everyone else. Obviously this is an oversimplified perspective, but in certain cases it’s downright undeniable. Rarely has it been more true than with the Nissan Juke. Now I know what you’re thinking: the villain of project Juke was the legally-blind eldritch abomination who styled it. Having read initial reactions to the Juke’s styling (and yes, even fanned the flames a bit), it’s clear that the “design issue” dominates perceptions of Nissan’s B-Segment “crossunder” (or, to use Nissan-approved language, “Sport Cross”). The good news is that, as is becoming increasingly common for new cars, the design works far better in three dimensions than two. A weird mix of coupe and crossover, the Juke mashes a number of Nissan design cues into a crazed pastiche: the swollen wheel arches and elongated turn signal lights of the Leaf, the rounded rear hatch of the Infiniti crossovers, the 370Z’s tail lights (with a dash of Volvo C30 mixed in) and the Z-meets-Kia Soul greenhouse actually combine for a look that is utterly distinctive, and not entirely unpleasant. Only the front end remains truly challenging in person, with Nissan-consistent turn signal lights fighting for attention with the protruding, nostril-like round headlights. A more brand-consistent front end end might have broadened the Juke’s appeal in this country, but on the other hand, anonymity kills in the under-publicized subcompact crossover segment (see: Suzuki SX4)."

"text": "PSA: Nissan doubles warranty on CVTs to 10 years/120,000 miles Chris Shunk Nov 17th 2009 at 8:29AMSubscribe0Comments Anyone who's had a transmission fixed knows it can cost thousands of dollars for both the unit and the labor. And the cost of repair of a CVT transmission can outpace that of a more conventional transmission with four to six forward speeds as most repairs require that the transmission is replaced. Thankfully, Nissan has been listening to its customers, and as a result, the Japanese automaker is doubling the length of its warranty from five years and 60,000 miles to ten years and 120,000 miles. That's all well and good for Nissan CVT owners who have yet to experience an issue, but what about Nissan CVT owners who have already shelled out thousands for repairs? Good news, Nissan is going to reimburse you for your pricey fix. If you've already paid for a CVT repair, you'll need to fill out Nissan's Reimbursement Form ( downloadable from Nissan's letter to customers) and follow the instructions. Nissan is also looking after customers who have to repair their CVT transmissions outside of warranty, working with suppliers and dealers to lower the cost of replacement transmissions and repairs. While we're thinking Nissan is doing a very good thing by backing up its CVT transmissions with a longer warranty, we're wondering just how wide-spread the CVT issue is. Nissan has been clearly committed to CVT tech for years, and we're thinking this warranty action could cost the Japanese automaker a lot of coin. Hit the jump to read the letter Nissan sent to customers."

It's the same small CVT used in the Mitsubishi Mirage, with a \"\"two-step\"\" function that effectively spreads the range of ratios over two different output ratios--giving it a broad range of speeds in a more compact package than if the little two-speed gearbox weren't attached. We didn't like the old Spark automatic because it seemed to sap what little enthusiasm the Chevrolet minicar offered from its 84-horsepower 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. Its strange shift points delivered so little power at certain speeds that--in a couple of cases--we felt the automatic Spark could be deemed unsafe to drive."

"text": "Q: What does the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Check warning light mean?asked by Liam R on December 14, 2015What does the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) Check warning light mean? Michael Parra Automotive Mechanic24 years of experience Thank Michael If your car has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), there is a warning light in the dash designed to come on if a malfunction is detected. However, the light should come on briefly during the cranking process. It shouldn’t stay on any longer than two seconds. If it stays on, or comes on while you’re driving, it indicates there’s a problem with the transmission and you need to have it serviced as soon as possible. Was this answer helpful? Yes No"

"text": "It’s tempting to think of the CR-Z hybrid as the second coming of the CRX, Honda’s light, tossable mid-1980s funster, what with the two cars’ stubby rear ends, two-seat layouts, and frugal intentions. At the CR-Z launch, in fact, Honda plopped us down in a cherry 1985 CRX Si and told us to go nuts. We did, and we’re sorry, Big H, but the CR-Z just isn’t quite as awesome. Where the impish CRX used lightness and a stripped-down approach to deliver entertainment and efficiency, the CR-Z looks to a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. The difference between the two paths is stark, or so goes conventional wisdom. With less weight and simplicity come fun and momentum-style hoonage, and with a hybrid powertrain comes, well, soul-crushing dullness. Somewhat shockingly, however, this hybrid is entertaining, even as it tries to marry the disparate concepts of sport and efficiency. Nowhere is that conflict more evident than in the two transmissions. Opt for the six-speed manual, and the CR-Z delivers perhaps the most transparent hybrid experience available today, because you control the shift points and how quickly the gears are changed. Particularly with the three-mode adjustable drive system in sport mode, it’s a relatively fun little car."

According to a new data analysis, there's one hybrid that stands head and shoulders above the rest--and it's not the Toyota Prius.2009 Toyota Prius Used-car listing aggregator i See Cars analyzed more than 20 million used-car listings posted during April and May, looking specifically at the listed mileage on the cars. DON'T MISS: 2014 Honda Hybrid Cars: Ultimate Guide Specifically, the site split out hybrids with 150,000 miles or more listed, to see what percentage of the total number for sale were at that level--which it suggests is a proxy for lasting a long time.2012 Ford Escape Hybrid The Honda Civic Hybrid, which first went on sale back in 2003, had by far the highest percentage of high-mileage listings: 5.4 percent of the total, the only car to exceed 5 percent. Next came two hybrid SUVs, the Ford Escape Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which were tied for second place at 2.7 percent each. The Toyota Prius took third place, at 2.1 percent, followed by the Lexus RX 400h at 1.4 percent. The last two cars in the i See Cars listing, the Toyota Camry Hybrid and the Honda Insight (presumably both generations of that nameplate), were both under 1.0 percent, at 0.7 and 0.6 percent respectively. ALSO SEE: Honda Civic, Hybrid & Natural Gas: Ultimate Guide Phong Ly, CEO of i See Cars, suggested to Green Car Reports that the two hybrid SUVs may have been used as family vehicles, meaning higher mileage from vacations and holiday road trips.2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid To which we might add that the Honda Civic Hybrid may have had a higher percentage of fleet buyers, who tend to wring every last mile out of their cars to minimize lifetime ownership costs. On the other hand, Honda's fleet sales are historically low compared to other makers, including Toyota, so our suggestion may not be accurate. It's also worth noting that Toyota dominates the list, with four of the seven highest-mileage used hybrids--though given its dominant position in hybrid vehicles globally, that's probably not too much of a surprise.

Fact: The American “affordable midsize car” market is the most competitive vehicle segment in the world. The affordable midsize car is defined as a sedan priced under $30K. Fact: The Fusion Hybrid ranks number 1 out of 20 affordable midsize cars based on U. S. News analysis of 47 published reviews and test drives, and a review of safety and reliability data. The Fusion Hybrid outranks all the other midsize sedans: Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Chrysler 200, Dodge Avenger, Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, Volkswagen Passat, Kia Optima. So, the Fusion Hybrid is the highest rated car in the toughest car segment. Doesn’t that make it the best overall choice for a police admin sedan? And the second place car out of those 20 midsize cars? The non-hybrid Ford Fusion. Separate question: What is the best of all the “green” hybrid cars?"

Validation codes are also called security codes or card verification values and are sometimes referred to as CVV, CV2 or CVV2 codes. On American Express cards, the validation code is a four-digit number located on the front of the card on the right-hand side, in small print above the credit card account number. Most other credit card issuers print the validation code on the back, on the far right side of the signature panel. Next Up Credit Card Authentication Credit Card Credit Card Authorization Key Expired Card BREAKING DOWN 'Validation Code'When you make a purchase online, you’ll be asked to enter your name as it appears on your credit card, the billing address associated with that credit card, the card number, the card expiration date and the validation code. If the validation code is incorrect or missing, the transaction will not be approved. In theory, someone should not be able to provide the card’s validation code unless they physically possess the card. It’s rare that a merchant will ask for your card’s validation code when you make a purchase in person, however. Merchants are not allowed to store card security codes after you make a purchase, which provides extra protection against credit card theft. Still, validation codes can be stolen, and you should protect your card’s validation code just as you protect the card number and expiration date."

"text": "\"Business & Finance Corporations What does CVC stand for? I'm on ticketek and i'm trying to fill in the credit details, and it's asking for a cvc, whats a cvc?2 following Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Card Security Code From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Card Security Code is located on the back of Master Card, Visa and Discover credit or debit cards and is typically a separate group of 3 digits to the right of the signature strip. On American Express cards, the Card Security Code is a printed (NOT embossed) group of four digits on the front towards the right. The Card Security Code (CSC), sometimes called Card Verification Value (CVV), Card Verification Value Code (CVVC), Card Verification Code (CVC), or Verification Code (V-Code or V Code) is a security feature for credit or debit card transactions, giving increased protection against credit card fraud. There are actually several types of security codes: The first code, called CVC1 or CVV1, is encoded on the magnetic stripe of the card and used for transactions in person. The second code, and the most cited, is CVV2 or CVC2. This CSC (also known as a CCID or Credit Card ID) is often asked for by merchants for them to secure \"\"card not present\"\" transactions occurring over the Internet, by mail, fax or over the phone. In many countries in Western Europe, due to increased attempts at card fraud, it is now mandatory to provide this code when the cardholder is not present in person. Contactless Card and Chip cards may supply their own codes generated electronically, such as i CVV or Dynamic CVV. The CVC should not be confused with the standard card account number appearing in embossed or printed digits. ("

"text": "\"Credit Cards · Credit Card News · Split payments: Using two cards for one transaction Split payments: Using two cards for one transaction Often OK in physical stores, using multiple cards difficult online By Dinah Wisenberg Brin | Published: April 11, 2016You’re shopping online and find the perfect wedding gift for your friends, and it’s on sale. You quickly click it into the shopping cart. Since your credit card balance has grown uncomfortably high, you decide to split the payment between that card and the debit card from your bank, where the balance is uncomfortably low. Seems like a good solution, right? Probably not. Most online merchants won’t allow you to split your payment this way. Internet stores may allow you to combine a gift card with a credit card when you make a purchase, but they rarely let customers use two credit cards, or a credit and debit card mix, to do the same. Of the 10 e-tailers Credit Cards.com spot-checked, we were only able to find one that did ( see box ). \"\" In the 17-plus years I’ve been involved with online payments, I’ve never seen a single shopping cart offer me the option to use multiple credit cards at checkout,\"\" said Rey Pasinli, executive director at payment processing company Total-Apps, in an email. While retailers accept a growing array of payment forms, and some brick-and-mortar stores do accept multiple cards for one transaction, shoppers are hard-pressed to find online stores that will allow them to combine two or more cards for one sale."

CARD VERIFICATION VALUE CODE (CVV)CVV is a new authentication procedure established by credit card companies to further efforts towards reducing fraud for internet transactions. It consists of requiring a card holder to enter the CVV number in at transaction time to verify that the card is on hand. The CVV code is a security feature for \"\"card not present\"\" transactions (e.g., Internet transactions), and now appears on most (but not all) major credit and debit cards. This new feature is a three- or four-digit code which provides a cryptographic check of the information embossed on the card. Therefore, the CVV code is not part of the card number itself. The CVV code helps ascertain that the customer placing the order actually possesses the credit/debit card and that the card account is legitimate. Each credit card company has its own name for the CVV code, but it functions the same for all major card types. ( VISA refers to the code as CVV2, Master Card calls it CVC2, and American Express calls it CID. ) The back panel of most Visa/Master Card cards contain the full 16-digit account number, followed by the CVV/CVC code."

"text": "\"CWT stands for \"\"centum weight,\"\" which is another term for \"\"hundredweight.\"\" Certain thin materials like sheet metal are sold by the CWT, which is the cost of the unit per 100 pounds. If you want to calculate the sheet cost by centum weight, all you have to do is look up a few properties about the type of sheet-based material you are trying to buy. Step 1Find the total weight of all the sheet-based products you want to buy. If you need 300 sheets of metal, for example, and each sheet weights 5 pounds, 300 x 5 = 1,500 pounds. Step 2Divide the total number of pounds by 100 to find the CWT or \"\"hundredweight\"\" of the sheets you need to buy. For example, 1,500 pounds divided by 100 equals 15 CWT. Step 3Divide the total cost of your sheets by the number of CWT you calculated to find the cost per CWT. For example, if your 300 sheets cost $15,000, this means that $15,000 divided by 15 CWT equals a cost of $1,000 per CWT.

It has been a standard part of the national primary-school mathematics curriculum in England and Wales since the late 1990s. [ 1]Both factors are broken up (\"\"partitioned\"\") into their hundreds, tens and units parts, and the products of the parts are then calculated explicitly in a relatively simple multiplication-only stage, before these contributions are then totalled to give the final answer in a separate addition stage. The calculation 34 × 13, for example, could be computed using the grid:300 40 90 + 12 ———— 442× 30 410 300 403 90 12followed by addition to obtain 442, either in a single sum (see right), or through forming the row-by-row totals (300 + 40) + (90 + 12) = 340 + 102 = 442. This calculation approach (though not necessarily with the explicit grid arrangement) is also known as the partial products algorithm. Its essence is the calculation of the simple multiplications separately, with all addition being left to the final gathering-up stage. The grid method can in principle be applied to factors of any size, although the number of sub-products becomes cumbersome as the number of digits increases."

It sits on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London and is a Grade I listed building. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. [ 1] The present cathedral, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed in Wren's lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the City after the Great Fire of London.

Jim Paulson, Dairy Extension Educator November 22, 2014Is your feed cost for all animals on your farm less than $10 per 100 pounds of milk produced? This includes calves, heifers and dry cows in addition to your milking cows. In the Midwest, it probably is. In other parts of the country, it may not be; but knowing that cost is extremely important in making good decisions about the Milk Margin Protection program. As shown in Figure 1, the margin between milk price and feed cost can become very tight. Figure 1. Historical margins between the price of milk and the cost of feed.

Gartneer; Updated April 24, 2017Here's a Calculator to Help You1234567890+-x/.=CThough the metric and American systems of measurement have different units and organizational methods, the two sometimes borrow from each other. One such borrowing is the hundredweight (cwt.) unit. Based on a grouping of a power of ten, the structure of a hundredweight, which equals a hundred pounds (lb. ), may appear more like a hectogram, a unit comprised of 100 grams, than the 16 ounces that make up each individual pound. By working with this hundredfold difference between hundredweights and pounds through various methods, you can easily convert between the weight measurements. Multiply the weight in hundredweights by 100 to convert to an equivalent in pounds. For an example, 5 cwt. multiplied by 100 converts to 500 lb. Add two zeros to the right end of the hundredweight measurement to convert to pounds."

"text": "\"The Wavelet Tutorial Part IIIMULTIRESOLUTION ANALYSIS & THE CONTINUOUS WAVELET TRANSFORMby Robi Polikar MULTIRESOLUTION ANALYSISAlthough the time and frequency resolution problems are results of a physical phenomenon (the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) and exist regardless of the transform used, it is possible to analyze any signal by using an alternative approach called the multiresolution analysis (MRA). MRA, as implied by its name, analyzes the signal at different frequencies with different resolutions. Every spectral component is not resolved equally as was the case in the STFT. MRA is designed to give good time resolution and poor frequency resolution at high frequencies and good frequency resolution and poor time resolution at low frequencies. This approach makes sense especially when the signal at hand has high frequency components for short durations and low frequency components for long durations. Fortunately, the signals that are encountered in practical applications are often of this type. For example, the following shows a signal of this type. It has a relatively low frequency component throughout the entire signal and relatively high frequency components for a short duration somewhere around the middle. THE CONTINUOUS WAVELET TRANSFORMThe continuous wavelet transform was developed as an alternative approach to the short time Fourier transform to overcome the resolution problem. The wavelet analysis is done in a similar way to the STFT analysis, in the sense that the signal is multiplied with a function, {\\it the wavelet}, similar to the window function in the STFT, and the transform is computed separately for different segments of the time-domain signal."

Calculations by Lee Schulz at Iowa State University put the average loss for Iowa hogs marketed in November at $35.52/head. That is the third month in a row with red ink, and the biggest monthly loss since March 2013. Dr. Schulz estimated the cost of production for November marketings at $44.70/cwt (live) or $59.59/cwt of carcass. The Peoria stockyards had their final hog sale on December 23."

"text": "Featured Articles Dressing Percentage of Slaughter Cattle22 November 2006Dressing percentage is one of many factors affecting the value of an slaughter animal. A basic knowledge of dressing percentage is important in understanding slaughter cattle pricing system and pricing variability. This module explains why dressing percentage is important and discusses factors affecting it. Dressing Percentage in Perspective Dressing percentage is calculated by dividing the warm carcass weight by the shrunk live weight of the animal and expressing the result as a percentage. For example, suppose that an animal delivered to the packing plant weighs 1300 pounds. After being killed, the hide, head, feet and gut are removed. The carcass then weighs 767 pounds. The dressing percent of this animal would be 767 divided by 1300 multiplied by 100 equaling 59 percent. This “59 percent” represents the meat and skeletal portion of an animal compared to its live weight. Note that the animal is weighed after transportation to the packing plant so that live weight is a shrunk weight."

We’ve put this guide together to help budding Freedivers understand what is required to get started. Part 1 of this series takes a look at What is Freediving and the Types of Freediving. What is Freediving Freediving is breath hold diving, being in and under the water whilst holding ones breath. Today, most people associate freediving with images of super humans plunging to the darkest depths of the ocean with only the air in their lungs, the power of their bodies and the will of their minds to keep them alive and bring them back. However every time you slip into water and hold your breath you are a freediver, exploring our world of water from the shallows to, occasionally the depths. Read on for our guide to What is Freediving and Types of Freediving. Diving without an aqualung is often referred to as ‘skin diving’ or ‘snorkeling’. Both can use mask, snorkel and fins, but freediving will always involve a breath hold, no matter how deep you go. Humans first started freediving through necessity, for food, trade-able items or items lost overboard, however in more recent time, freediving has evolved into a recreational pastime, a way to take photos, catch food, and as a sport."

The mean yield of US#1 for Russet Norkotah over the nine sites was 316 cwt/a while TX #112 yielded 401 cwt/a and TX #278 yielded 381 cwt/a. In 1997 and 1998, strains CO #3, CO #8, and TX #223 were added to the previous two strains tested. Figure 2 shows total yield of these five strains compared to the standard averaged over nine late-harvest sites and two years, 18 site-years. Strain CO #3 gave the significantly highest yield in these trials, but there was no significant difference between the other strains, CO #8, TX #112, TX #223, and TX #278.

"text": "\"What the Choice-Select Spread is Trying to Say Premium Choice now carries the banner for quality beef.by Steve Suther, CAB industry information specialist Cattle are sold by the pound, but the price per pound can make as much difference as total weight when it comes to the bottom line. That's why producers who aim for profit weigh everything that goes into that price. The Choice-Select spread has been a leading indicator for decades, but a current analysis suggests it can mislead if taken at face value. A lot more commodity Choice came on just as the economy was closing the menu on \"\"middle-meat\"\" steaks cut from that commodity pool, which no longer represents much of an advantage over Select. Mark Mc Cully Producers today must lift their gaze to the relative values of premium Choice and Prime beef if they want to monitor the market, says Mark Mc Cully, Certified Angus Beef LLC (CAB) assistant vice president for production. Mc Cully recently published a white paper entitled, \"\"Trends in the Choice-Select spread and implications to cattle producers.\"\" He explains that spread is simply the difference in price between the boneless beef cutout from a USDA Select carcass and one that graded Choice. \"\" But the difference may not be as simple as it first seems,\"\" he adds. \"\" Most of the upper two-thirds Choice beef is committed to premium branded programs, and much of the low-Choice product is also branded. That means it is separate from the USDA-reported price, which is now derived from the 'leftovers,' a little more than 15% of all Choice-grade cattle.\"\""

Organic Milk Pay, Retail & Feed Prices January 2018The supply side of organic milk can be summed up by a quote from Stonyfield Farms in a letter sent to producers: “ Unfortunately, at this time, Stonyfield ( owned by Lactalis) remains committed to our existing producers, consumers and the New England dairy industry. Stonyfield is not taking on any new dairy producers through 2018.” None of the organic milk buyers are taking on new producers; all of them, with the exception of Upstate Niagara, are lowering the farmgate to the high $20’s and base price into the mid $20’s, and Danone Wave is sending 6 month notices of cancellation instead of renewing some contracts. Whole milk sales are expanding at a consistent 6.8% rate although non-fat milk has a drop of 1% in sales, making a 0.2% increase in total sales of organic milk January-October 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Organic dairy has long known that there is a lack of consistency in implementing the access to pasture regulation and the one time exemption for transitioning operations. The lack of enforcement of these two regulations is part of the cause of the rapid increase in supply when pay prices were high. Large scale dairies, exploiting the loopholes, have rapidly expanded their herds, skewing the supply side of the organic dairy market. Another contributor to a drop in sales of non-fat organic milk product is the rise in sales of plant-based milk, with the Wall Street Journal reporting an increase of 2.9 percent in sales in 2017. The oversupply has been compounded because of a lack of processing facilities to make organic butter, powder and cheese due to an oversupply in the conventional market."

"text": "\"What does cy/cy mean on a bill of lading? Bill of lading, which is a transport document evidences receipt of cargo, contract of carriage and represents title of goods, is mostly used in international port-to-port sea shipments. A bill of lading should normally state the port of loading and port of discharge. Port of loading is the place where the goods are shipped on board a vessel. Port of discharge is the place where the vessel is off-loaded and the goods are distributed to their respective consignees. Some bills of lading contain \"\"cy/cy\"\" term in addition to port of loading and port of discharge. Today I would like to explain the meaning of \"\"cy/cy\"\" term as seen on the bills of lading. What is the definition of \"\"cy/cy\"\" term which is stated on the bill of lading:\"\"CY/CY\"\" term stands for \"\"container yard to container yard\"\" in international shipping. Which means that the carrier accepts the goods at the container yard located within the port of lading and delivers them to a container yard located within the port of discharge. It is worth mentioning that container yards are also known as terminals and in limited occasions they may be placed outside of the port of lading or port of discharge."

It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not continue it unless it really needs a response. I came over a rather peculiar situation: I had Anora, Sighard, Vaughan, Bryland and Alfstanna on my side, against were Wulf, Ceorlic and the last noble, and I still LOST. It would seem that rather than collect individual votes, you have to bring up two arguments vouched for by someone present at the Landsmeet (like when you win the last noble). I experimented with the \"\"having left Cailan die\"\" version, which safely leads to victory if Anora backs it and you use one more backed argument (poisoning Eamon, Howe's crimes or Blight), whereas in combination with the slavery charge, pushing Alistair's claim (even with a successful persuade check) or accusing Loghain of stealing the throne from Anora, you lose. It's not a glitch since in this version, Loghain gets an extra line, except for the usual \"\"Take the traitors out\"\" he says \"\"Someone escort my daughter to her rooms\"\". Two questions:1) has anyone ever tried winning the Landsmeet without securing Sighard, Vaughan and Alfstanna? - Theoretically, it should be possible to win if you have Anora on your side, go through the debate of Ostagar and in the end mention the Blight; the point is, how do these three vote and how does their vote affect the outcome? My guess is that the mention of Blight should secure Alfstanna's vote, too, since she responds positively to the persuade check when you open the debate with this topic.2) does the vote from the nobleman from the Trial of the Crows really affect nothing?"

"text": "Question Details Asked on 8/19/2013Guest_... $ per truck load of fill dirt New Construction lot needing approximately 500 yrds of fill dirt Do you have the same question? Follow this Question In Home > General Contractor Report It Tweet8 Answers1 Vote Whoa - you are talking a serious do it yourself job - are you sure you mean 500 cubic yards - 13,500 cubic feet of fill ? If you are looking for general fill (yard fill) then typically from $7-15/cy to where they can dump without bogging down. For structural fill (going to build a structure on it or use as backfill around a house) about $12-20/cy. Towards cheaper end if you can arrange room for them to bring in truck and trailers or dump truck with pup trailer (about 20-30cy per trip) rather than just dump trucks (8-12 cy/load). For that volume, I hope you have considered compaction needs nad drainage and erosion and sediment control - you can't just dump thick fill without compaction without future proboems. Also, for this amount of fill, you are likely to need a fill permit with limits on a plan and compaction specification, and probably a worksite erosion and sediment control plan. For general fill, you might get a better deal, like almost or totally free, if you find a contractor doing a major job nearby that needs a waste fill site. Just be certain to clearly specify maximum particle size, wetness, no organics if you are using for thick fill or structural, fill limits and maximum depth so he does not overfill you - I had one job where a guy agreed to up to 15' of fill from a road cut job for free, ended up at 65' thick before he called me in to measure it (he had agreed to so many cubic yards) and condemn the fill as unsafe. You can image how tough it was to get the contractor to remove the extra - about 30,000 cy - only reason he eventually did it, I think, was because it was a state job so we dealt through the state project engineer to put pressure on him Answered 4 years ago by LCDReport It0 Votes In my other post, I suggesting finding a contractor doing a road job who needs to get rid of dirt - a building excavation or subdivision construction job might also have excess dirt, particularly commercial jobs - but be sure they are not trying to pawn off mud or boulders, nor excavation from a leach field rebuild or underground storage tank leakage contaminated dirt."

"text": "\"Structural and Functional Definition of the Human Chitinase Chitin-binding Domain *Larry W. Tjoelker ‡, Larry Gosting, Steve Frey, Christie L. Hunter §, Hai Le Trong,Bart Steiner, Heather Brammer and Patrick W. Gray From ICOS Corp., Bothell, Washington 98021 and §Gryphon Sciences, South San Francisco, California 94080Next Section Abstract Mammalian chitinase, a chitinolytic enzyme expressed by macrophages, has been detected in atherosclerotic plaques and is elevated in blood and tissues of guinea pigs infected with Aspergillus. Its normal physiological function is unknown. To understand how the enzyme interacts with its substrate, we have characterized the chitin-binding domain. The C-terminal 49 amino acids make up the minimal sequence required for chitin binding activity. The absence of this domain does not affect the ability of the enzyme to hydrolyze the soluble substrate, triacetylchitotriose, but abolishes hydrolysis of insoluble chitin. Within the minimal chitin-binding domain are six cysteines; mutation of any one of these to serine results in complete loss of chitin binding activity. Analysis of purified recombinant chitin-binding domain revealed the presence of three disulfide linkages. The recombinant domain binds specifically to chitin but does not bind chitosan, cellulose, xylan, β-1,3-glucan, β-1,3–1,4-glucan, or mannan. Fluorescently tagged chitin-binding domain was used to demonstrate chitin-specific binding to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, Mucor rouxii, and Neurospora crassa. These experiments define structural features of the minimal domain of human chitinase required for both specifically binding to and hydrolyzing insoluble chitin and demonstrate relevant binding within the context of the fungal cell wall."

"text": "June 2013 Professional Notes Newsletter Changing Donor-Imposed Restrictions: Cy Pres and Equitable Deviation Download as PDF Almost as long as there have been gifts to charity, there have been donor-imposed restrictions that either fail or become outdated in some other way. The reasons for this are many: advances in medical science, evolution in social mores, changes in the law or economic theory, severe financial hardship in an organization or a community, and so forth. In the future, it is possible that technological breakthroughs, climate change, terrorism, political upheaval, and other developments will create changed circumstances that few today would imagine. If a donor is able and willing to consent to changes in a gift restriction in order to address these developments, no legal issue is presented. This was the topic of the March 2013 issue of Professional Notes. But when the donor has died or is a corporation that has gone out of business, or if the donor refuses to agree to a change, a legal remedy is usually needed in order to deal with an outdated restriction. Lawyers typically learn in a law school trusts & estates class about the doctrine of cy pres, sometimes called the “doctrine of changed circumstances,” and that is certainly a good place to start the conversation. But cy pres, fashioned centuries ago by courts of equity to deal with the administration of charitable trusts, has several notable offspring, starting with the closely related doctrine of equitable deviation. Those two ancient doctrines are generally codified today as part of trust law—in New York, for example, in the Estates, Powers and Trusts Law (EPTL). Nonprofit corporations are typically subject to a similar but slightly different set of cy pres and equitable deviation rules."

It takes place in the United States, after a civil war somewhere in the near future. After a civil war, known as the Second Civil War or the Heartland War, was fought over abortion, a compromise was reached, allowing parents to sign an order for their children between the ages of 13 and 18 to be unwound—taken to \"\"harvest camps\"\" and having their body parts harvested for later use. The reasoning was that since 99.44% of the body had to be used (the other 0.56% are vestigial organs), unwinds did not technically die because their individual body parts lived on. In addition to unwinding, parents who are unable to raise their children to age 13 for retroactive abortion have the option to \"\"stork\"\" their child by leaving it on another family's porch. If they don't get caught, the \"\"storked\"\" baby then becomes the other family's responsibility. Unwind received positive reviews upon release, with praise focusing on the novel's immersive environment and sociological implications. It also received many awards from young adult literature authorities [ citation needed]. A film adaptation of Unwind is currently in production by independent producers. [ 1] A second novel titled Un Wholly was released in August 2012, [2] and a third in December 2013, titled Un Souled and a fourth in October 2014, titled Un Divided.

The name cyan or cyan-blue was first used as a color name in the 19th century. In the subtractive color model, cyan is the complementary color of red; mixing red and cyan paint will produce a gray color. In the additive color system, or RGB color model, used to create all the colors on a computer or television display, cyan is made by mixing equal amounts of green and blue light. Since it is the complement of red, it can also be made by the removal of red from white light, Mixing red light and cyan light at the right intensity on a black screen will make white.

Canon claims to have invented what it calls 'bubble jet' technology in 1977, when a researcher accidentally touched an ink-filled syringe with a hot soldering iron and the heat forced a drop of ink out of the needle. And so began the development of a new printing method. Inkjet printers have made rapid technological advances in recent years. First, the three-color printer succeeded in making color inkjet printing an affordable option; but as the superior four-color models became cheaper to produce and sell, it wound up being the standard and users' choice. Inkjet printing has two chief benefits over laser printers: lower printer cost and color-printing capabilities. But while inkjet printers are priced much less than laser printers, they are actually more expensive to use and maintain. Cartridges need to be changed more frequently and the special coated paper required to produce high-quality output is very expensive. At a cost per page level, inkjet printing costs about 10 times more than laser printing. Back to top Operation Inkjet printing, like laser printing, is a non-impact process."

This means that when combined, they produce a grayscale color like white or black. [ 1] When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those particular two colors. Due to this striking color clash, the term opposite colors is often considered more appropriate than \"\"complementary colors\"\". Which pairs of colors are considered complementary depends on the color theory one uses: Modern color theory uses either the RGB additive color model or the CMY subtractive color model, and in these, the complementary pairs are red – cyan, green – magenta, and blue – yellow. In the traditional RYB color model, the complementary color pairs are red–green, yellow–purple, and blue–orange.

"text": "Entertainment Television Video'Bye Felicia' is the name of a new VH1 show By The Grio - November 17, 2014tweet Hello, Felicia. Welcome to TV. VH1 thinks they have another hit on their hands with Bye Felicia, a show People reports will premiere in early December. The show’s premise centers around two Atlanta-based life coaches who will attempt to give young women in Los Angeles tough love and tips to turn their lives around. “Bye Felicia,” has become Internet-famous for describing situations where you just … don’t … care. Or maybe the situation involves something you just don’t believe or have time for. The “slang” stems from a scene in the 1995 classic Friday, where Ice Cube’s character Craig tells local crackhead Felisha, “Bye Felisha. ”Yes — Felisha, played by Angela Means Kaaya, has become Internet famous. Deborah Hawkes and Missy Young are the two stars of the VH1 show, which premieres December 9.“Deborah & Missy … are two of the funniest women I have ever met. We are so excited to introduce them to America,” Susan Levison, VH1’s Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Production, said in a statement."

( November 2008)This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. ( September 2011)The notion of \"\"green\"\" in modern European languages corresponds to about 520–570 nm, but many historical and non-European languages make other choices, e.g. using a term for the range of ca. 450–530 nm (\"\"blue/green\"\") and another for ca. 530–590 nm (\"\"green/yellow\"\"). Many languages do not distinguish between what in English are described as \"\"blue\"\" and \"\"green\"\" and instead use a cover term spanning both. To describe this English lexical gap, linguists use the portmanteau word grue, from green and blue, which the philosopher Nelson Goodman coined in his 1955 Fact, Fiction, and Forecast to illustrate the \"\" new riddle of induction \"\". The exact definition of \"\"blue\"\" and \"\"green\"\" may be complicated by the speakers not primarily distinguishing the hue, but using terms that describe other color components such as saturation and luminosity, or other properties of the object being described."

"text": "How To Watch Side By Side 3D Videos With Red/Cyan (Anaglyph) Glasses On Any PC!Published December 14, 2012 Comments 1As more and more movies are releasing in 3D and in fact world’s most popular video-sharing site Youtube is getting a huge collection of stereoscopic 3D videos, it time you should at least get cheapest Red/Cyan glasses. The technology is mostly referred as Anaglyph or Stereoscopic 3D and you can, in fact, build a pair of with papers and stuff yourself, but I would rather spend some bucks on getting a solid build 3D goggles that don’t look like a joke on eyes. To enjoy 3D movies in this technology, you do no need any fancy 3D TV or 3D graphics card. You can watch it on CRT Televisions, monitors, any LCD/LED TV just like that. Now, I will cover the rest of technology stuff in upcoming articles but right now, I am hoping you have a Red/Cyan (Anaglyph) glasses but videos you have are in Side by Side format that needs to be converted to Stereoscopic/Anaglyph. Ways Watch Side By Side Anaglyph 3D Movies With Red/Cyan Glasses As most of the videos online and on DVD’s are made for active shutter 3D technology that does not come cheap they are in Half Side by Side Format also known as H SBS. In the following tutorial, you will learn to watch side by side videos using Red/Cyan without any conversion needed. Note: You need PC/Laptop for doing this Step 1: Download Stereoscopic Player here and thanks 3dtv.at for keeping it free for all of us!Step 2: Get some side by side 3d video clip or movie to test, and if you don’t have any and just want to try this as fun – head over to Youtube 3D here. e.g Following an example of how side by side 3D footage looks like. Step 3: Open Stereoscopic player and don’t mess any settings, it is simply perfect for what it does."

"text": "What does CMYK Stand for?by Jodie | Feb 24, 2014 | Printing Tips | 0 comments Jett Print are frequently asked this question about the “CMYK” acronym. Simply, CMYK stands for four ink colors – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. In Offset printing these four CMYK colours are applied to the paper in layers. By overlapping these four colours in various concentrations, a huge number of other colours can be created. As a result, the combined visual effects of these four CMYK colours produce what is commonly known as Full Colour Printing. In Digital Printing, it isn’t imperative that CMYK be used, however, it will produce more desirable results than if the file was created in RGB. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the typical color space used by electronic displays, monitors, pda screens, etc. In RGB, images are created by combining red, green, and blue light. Process of addition can create millions of different colors by using varying concentrations of the primaries. All files supplied to Jett Print will be flight checked & any RGB will be converted to CMYK."

Conventional color theory using red, yellow and blue does not work. It will turn your pictures to mud and frustrate you as you struggle to mix colors that are impossible with this color triad. The same goes for the split primary system where you mix with a warm and cool version of each primary. The split primary system works much better than just using the three primaries but it misses the point about how colors really mix and what the true primary colors are. What are the real primary colors? Just ask your printer, Cyan, Yellow, and Magenta.

"text": "\"Information Attributes FAQ's Glossary Info About Toner The term toner refers to the dry \"\"ink\"\" plastic powder used to print by printers, copiers and fax machines that use a laser printing process. Unlike the ink used in inkjet printers, which is liquid sprayed onto the page and allowed to dry, toner is put on the page then run through a heating process that melts the plastic onto the paper. Since toner is not a liquid, it does not experience the \"\"bleeding\"\" that ink can if the paper gets wet after printing. As you shop for replacement toner and toner cartridges for your printer, copier, fax machine or multi-function device (MFD), you may have come across terms you were unfamiliar with, or may have had questions about what type of toner you should buy. We hope this buying guide helps make your toner shopping experience a little easier. This section is a brief overview, and for more detail, browse through other sections, especially Attributes. Get the toner for your model: Usually, the easiest way to find your toner is by the manufacturer's part number of the toner (sometimes printed on the cartridge/bottle or on the printer/copier/fax itself). If the part number isn't available, most vendors will have a way to browse to the exact product you need (for example, our Quick Finder or Browse Our Catalog page) using the manufacturer's name and the model number of the printer/copier/fax. Get the appropriate type of toner: Many vendors will offer the original manufacturer's (OEM) brand and a less expensive compatible brand. ( see the Attributes section for more information)Choose the best option: Some toner cartridges are available with higher-yield options."

"text": "\"Why does the K stand for black in CMYK? CMYK is a subtractive color model that is used in color printing, and it refers to cyan, magenta, yellow, and black for the inks used in color printing. The “K” in CMYK is understood to be the key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are aligned with the black plate which is the key. In other words the other colors are setup in relation to the black which is thus the \"\"key\"\" to the process. The fact that it is subtractive means that in the CMYK process the color results are achieved by masking colors on a lighter background. Often this background is white and the color may be masked either partially or completely, depending on the color desired. CMYK is often used for printing in four color process. Thus people who desire this type of printing will often set up their artwork in the CMYK format. Typically using a design program such as Adobe Illustrator. The other common setup for colors, RGB, stands for Red, Green, Blue and is frequently used for screen printing in solid spot colors."

"text": "Methylcobalamin vs Cyanocobalamin August 6, 2013 [email protected] 19 Comments Share!There are two forms of vitamin B12 that you’re likely to come across – methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. The latter is much more common in multivitamins and B12 supplements, but there are lots of strong arguments to replace this ingredient with methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is rapidly gaining popularity and will surely one day dominate the industry. But what is it that makes methylcobalamin a superior health supplement? The Difference Between Methylcobalamin And Cyanocobalamin These two different B12 forms are very similar. The only chemical difference between them comes down to one small part of the molecule, where the names give it away: where methylcobalamin has a methyl group (just carbon and hydrogen), cyanocobalamin has a cyanide group. And obviously cyanide isn’t something you normally expect to find lurking in your multivitamin. In fact, cyanocobalamin isn’t something nature ever intended your body to deal with – it exists only as a chemical synthesized in laboratories. It doesn’t occur naturally in any living organism. How Your Body Deals With B12 Your body actually has no use for the cyano- compound itself, and will set about converting any cyanocobalamin you take into methylcobalamin as soon as possible."

It attaches to the iron within this protein. The binding of cyanide to this cytochrome prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. Tissues that mainly depend on aerobic respiration, such as the central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate."

In the room that is supposedly a gas chamber, one can clearly read a sign written by the museum authorities in five languages which says, “THE GAS CHAMBER disguised as a 'shower room'-never used as a gas chamber.” [ 1] Although the room was completed in 1942, it was never used for its intended purpose-presumably, it was used for other purposes; perhaps it was used as a shower room after all. At the western end of the crematorium building which houses the so-called gas chamber “disguised as a shower room,” one can today see and walk through four delousing chambers which were used to fumigate clothing. [ 2] The only explanation regarding these chambers is a sign above them, also in five languages, which simply says “Fumigation cubicles” in English and Desinfektionskammern in German. There is no mention anywhere within the camp of the important fact that these chambers used Zyklon-B to fumigate clothing as well as other articles placed within the chambers. The “shower room” is not a gas chamber at all, but the so-called “fumigation cubicles” are gas chambers. Moreover, the “fumigation cubicles” are extremely well-designed gas chambers which represented, and may still represent, the state of the art in gas chamber design. They were the product of more than 20 years of research and development into the application of hydrocyanic acid (often referred to simply as cyanide) for the extermination of vermin. This is clearly shown by the extensive German technical literature from the end of World War I through World War II on this subject. ["

Evidence-based medicine for Chemical Defense— including efficacy and safety A. Summary Structure HSDB. Sodium Nitrite Mechanism of action Exposure to a high dose of cyanide can result in death within minutes due to the inhibition of cytochrome oxidase resulting in arrest of cellular respiration. Specifically, cyanide binds rapidly with cytochrome a3, a component of the cytochrome c oxidase complex in mitochondria. Inhibition of cytochrome a3 prevents the cell from using oxygen and forces anaerobic metabolism, resulting in lactate production, cellular hypoxia and metabolic acidosis. In massive acute cyanide poisoning, the mechanism of toxicity may involve other enzyme systems as well. The synergy resulting from treatment of cyanide poisoning with the combination of sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate is the result of differences in their primary mechanisms of action as antidotes for cyanide poisoning. Sodium nitrite is thought to exert its therapeutic effect by reacting with hemoglobin to form methemoglobin, an oxidized form of hemoglobin incapable of oxygen transport but with high affinity for cyanide."

Produced by a British chemist in the 1800's by crude means of passing ammonia over a charcoal, Potassium carbonate mixture. Potassium cyanide has now turned into a sophisticated killing mechanism [1]. It was used in World War II by the Nazis [2] and is the third most common form of execution in the United States [3]. It is important to be careful around such a dangerous substance and understand the risks that it carries. Contents [ hide ]1 Properties2 Uses3 First Aid Measures3.1 Basic First Aid Measurements3.2 Advanced First Aid measurements4 Helpful Sources5 References Properties KCN is very toxic Potassium Cyanide is a highly toxic cyanide salt with the chemical formula of KCN. The Potassium molecule makes up 60.04% of the total mass, Carbon 18.45%, and the Nitrogen 21.51%. The potassium and carbon molecules bond together with a single ionic bond and the carbon and nitrogen are held together by a covalent double bond [4]. This compound is colorless, looks similar to sugar, and has the bitter smell of almonds [5]. KCN is very soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. It also reacts very violently with oxidizers. When exposed to water it can form HCN, Hydrogen Cyanide, which is another very poisonous compound. [ 6]Uses Potassium Cyanide is created when Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH). HCN + KOH → KCN + H 2 OAbout 50,000 tons of potassium cyanide are created each year, but this is only one tenth of the amount of sodium cyanide that is produced [7] ."

However, with a toxic reputation dating back to the Holocaust, its use in mining has been very controversial. Through a process called \"\" gold cyanidation \"\", \"\" the cyanide process \"\", or \"\" cyanide leach mining \"\", cyanide is used to extract gold from the surrounding rock. While cyanide is both effective and economical, its use and transportation present significant environmental risks. Process Cyanide can be used to extract gold, either in a controlled mill environment, or more crudely on rock piles in the open. Cyanide \"\"vat leaching\"\" mixes finely crushed ore with a cyanide salt in water. The cyanide binds to the gold ions, and makes them soluble in water, thereby allowing separation from the rock. This process usually takes place inside a mill or other mining facility. Mine Tailings READ ARTICLEMine tailings are materials left over after extraction of valuable minerals from ore.... Cyanide \"\"heap leaching\"\" is used for very low-quality ore, or sometimes to reprocess waste material from other extraction methods (e.g. leftover mine \"\"tailings\"\" ). A large outdoors mound of ore is sprayed with a cyanide solution that drips through the rock over time."

"text": "Reader Question: What fruits and vegetables contain Cyanide? Recently a reader sent in a question wondering what other fruits and vegetables besides cassava contain cyanide. Cyanide is a naturally occurring chemical, generally considered to be poisonous if consumed in large enough amounts. According to the U. S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry the following foods naturally contain cyanide:almondsmillet sproutslima beanssoyspinachbamboo shootscassava Additionally cyanide is found in most any fruits that have a pit, or core, like cherries, apricots, and apples. The site reports that no foods are consumed in large enough quantities to be toxic. Cyanide can also be produced by certain bacteria, fungi, algae, and as a by-product of industrial manufacturing and waste. If industry is producing cyanide in your area it may enter local water supplies. If this water is used to grow plants in your area, those plants will also absorb the additional cyanide, so take note of the water and industry in your area. The same risk, thankfully, does not exist for fish in cyanide polluted waters as they do not absorb the cyanide. In general, it is import not to stress too much over cyanide in foods."

They are actually the fruits of deciduous (meaning that the leaves fall off every year) trees originally found in Asia and North Africa. Instead of growing a sweet fleshy pulp around the seed, almonds develop a leathery coating. Beneath this shell lies a hardened pit with a dark skin, much like a pit from a freestone peach. Almonds come in two varieties, sweet and bitter. Sweet almonds are used in many Asian dishes, as well as dessert pastes and garnishes. A popular use for crushed sweet almonds is a European candy base called marzipan. They are mixed with glucose and water to form a thick but pliable paste.

The LD50 is often expressed in mg/kg body weight. A substance that has a high LD50 is certainly more safe than a substance with a low LD50. For example cyanide has a lower LD50 than strychnine, but both are toxic. Also LD50 is used mainly to determine acute toxicity. The LD50 for cyanide is 6 mg/kg whereas for strychnine it is 16 mg/kg.

It attaches to the iron within this protein. The binding of cyanide to this cytochrome prevents transport of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. As a result, the electron transport chain is disrupted, meaning that the cell can no longer aerobically produce ATP for energy. Tissues that mainly depend on aerobic respiration, such as the central nervous system and the heart, are particularly affected. Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate."

( André Karwath)In fact, if you eat enough apple seeds or cherry pits, you could die. Apple seeds contain cyanogenic acids. Cherry pits, and seeds from related fruits, including peaches, plums, almonds, pears, and apricots, contain cyanogenic glycosides. Your body can detoxify small quantities of cyanide compounds. If you accidentally eat a cherry pit in a pie or swallow an apple seed or two, you’ll be fine. Actually, if you swallow several seeds whole, you would absorb a minimal amount of the toxic compounds. Chewing the seeds makes them much more hazardous to your health. Children and pets are much more likely to suffer poisoning from eating the seeds than adults. Symptoms of mild poisoning include headache, dizziness, confusion, anxiety, and vomiting."

"text": "\"Vitamin B-12 warning: Avoid cyanocobalamin, take only methylcobalamin Tuesday, June 21, 2011 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of Natural News.com (See all articles...)Tags: cyanocobalamin, vitamin B-12, methylcobalamin316KViews (Natural News) One of the pitfalls of pursuing a healthy diet is that we are sometimes blind to nutrients we may be missing. And in the world of healthy eating, one of the most common nutrient deficiencies involves vitamin B-12, a crucial nutrient for nerve health and the construction of red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your body. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is especially common among vegetarians and vegans, but it's also surprisingly common in meat eaters, too. Why? Because vitamin B-12 can only be absorbed in the small intestine, and due to common intestinal ailments, even many meat eaters who consume high levels of B-12 are unable to absorb it in their gut. This leads to a series of seemingly \"\"mystery\"\" health symptoms that actually have a simple common cause: Vitamin B-12 deficiency!Symptoms of B-12 deficiency B-12 deficiency is shockingly widespread. Studies now show that up to 40% of the population may be deficient in vitamin B-12 ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7595423.st... ). Here are some of the most common symptoms of deficiency (do you experience any of these? ): * Chest pain or shortness of breath * Fatigue or unexplained weakness * Dizziness, trouble with balance, and fainting * Confusion, memory loss or dementia * Coldness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet * Slow reflexes or diminished nervous system function * Pale skin or yellowing of the skin * Sore mouth and tongue ... in addition, vitamin B-12 deficiency can actually cause brain shrinkage, according to a University of Oxford study ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7595423.st... ). Although more work needs to be done, research is already suggesting a link between vitamin B-12 deficiency and Alzheimer's."

Do you want your murderer to kill them without letting anyone know what you plan to do or who your killer is? Try using poison. It's easy to get, easy to use, and even easier to cover up. Maybe your killer could slip some poisonous mushrooms in the victim's salad. Or place a cobra in her bed while she's sleeping. If you set it up right, your killer could commit murder and get away with it, at least until you want him to get caught. No guilt, no jail time, no regret. It's only fiction after all. In the pages of your novel or short story you can poison anyone you like, and instead of sending you to prison, people will cheer you for your resourcefulness and imagination."

I love the pungent and spicy spread slathered all over my sandwich. My girls enjoy it, too, which is a good thing, because I often share my sandwich with them. Or maybe they’ve learned to like anything if they’re hungry enough. But most people don’t like to think that the foods they eat could be a poison, and I can’t say I blame them. It’s not appetizing to think that your meal wants to cause you harm. But horseradish does. Horseradish, Armoracia rusticana, is a perennial belonging to the Brassicaceae family, whose other notable members include wasabi, radish, broccoli, cabbage and mustard. Horseradish is most likely native to Europe and Asia, and probably known for 4000 years, but has only been cultivated for 2000 (1)."

They are actually the fruits of deciduous (meaning that the leaves fall off every year) trees originally found in Asia and North Africa. Instead of growing a sweet fleshy pulp around the seed, almonds develop a leathery coating. Beneath this shell lies a hardened pit with a dark skin, much like a pit from a freestone peach. Almonds come in two varieties, sweet and bitter. Sweet almonds are used in many Asian dishes, as well as dessert pastes and garnishes. A popular use for crushed sweet almonds is a European candy base called marzipan. They are mixed with glucose and water to form a thick but pliable paste. Marzipan can be molded into cookies or other identifiable shapes by skilled dessert makers. Sweet almonds can also be processed into essential oils or extracts."

Why Cyanides are the Ideal Poison for Want-To-be Poisoners? Cyanide offers Want-To-Be Poisoners unique combination of properties that makes it an ideal poison for professionals as well as for amateurs. The main ones are: A. Cyanides are extremely toxic and only a small amount of material is sufficient to kill a person. For example, the probability that a person who weighs 160 lbs, (72.64 Kg), who ingests 0.3632 grams potassium cyanide will die within three days is 50 %, and if he ingests 0.55 grams, the probability is over 90 %. To put these numbers in prospective, a teaspoon of salt contains 7.2 grams and a tablespoon contains 23.7 grams. Thus, 90 percent of 13 people, about 12, who weigh 160 lbs can be killed using a SINGLE teaspoon of potassium cyanide. A single tablespoon of potassium cyanide will kill 90 % of 43 people, i. e. about 39."

To help us answer this question, we will learn about cyanide's chemical structure, where it's found, and how it interacts with key biological molecules in the human body. What Is Cyanide? Cyanide is a fast-acting, potentially deadly chemical that can exist as both a gas and as a crystalline salt. Both forms can be lethal in high enough concentrations. Some people can detect the distinctive 'bitter almond' smell of cyanide, though this is not a reliable indicator as it doesn't always give it off, and not everyone can detect it."

Although the almonds you buy at the grocery store contain a small amount of cyanide, it's not enough to poison you. However, eating too many bitter almonds, which you can't get in the United States, may not be so good for your health and may lead to cyanide poisoning. If you suspect cyanide poisoning, go to your closest emergency room for care. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Cyanide in Almonds The amount of cyanide found in the almonds you buy at your local grocery store isn't enough to cause poisoning. Grocery store almonds, also known as sweet almonds, contain 25.2 milligrams of cyanide per kilogram of weight, according to a 2013 study published in International Scholarly Research Notices Toxicology. For perspective, a typical serving size of almonds is 1 ounce or 23 kernels, and 1 kilogram is equal to 35 ounces. The lethal dose of cyanide is 0.5 to 3.5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. If you weigh 160 pounds, for the minimum lethal dose, you would need to eat 50 ounces of almonds or 1,150 kernels in one day to get the amount of cyanide necessary to be poisoned. Cyanide doesn't accumulate in the body and is excreted within 24 hours, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

LOUIS (US)— Lima beans won’t kill you, but they are one of many plants that naturally contain some level of the deadly poison cyanide. Add to the list apples, peaches, apricots, barley, sorghum, flaxseed, and bamboo shoots. There’s a reason that cyanide exists in all these plants, and it is—to paraphrase Sherlock Holmes—evolutionary, suggests Kenneth Olsen, an assistant professor of biology at Washington University in St. Louis. Olsen, who studies white clover, cassava, and other plants that produce cyanide, says the plants have an ingenious poison delivery system, one that evolution has designed to discourage herbivores from feasting on them. Due to proper food processing techniques and strict regulations, cyanide-wielding plants pose little threat to the American food supply. But, in Africa, where cassava root has become a major part of subsistence diets, many poor people suffer from a chronic form of cyanide poisoning known as konzo. Cyanide ‘booby-trap’ The plant stores the cyanide in an inactive form, typically as a cyanogenic glycoside, which is a sugar molecule with an attached cyanide group (carbon triple-bonded to nitrogen)."

Cadence refers to how fast the pedals are rotating. To increase leg strength, you should use a cadence below 80 revolutions per minute. Focus on using a gear that provides considerable resistance. For example, on an 18-speed bike, set it in high and fourth gear, high being the largest gear located by the pedals and fourth being the fourth gear outward from the rear wheel.

In 2013, a British study confirmed what the fitness elite already knew instinctively, when it was found that this style of diet was superior to a standard, daily calorie-restricted diet for reducing weight and lowering blood levels of insulin (more on this later). Yet, despite its effectiveness and popularity amongst the fitness elite, it’s a method of dieting that is shrouded in mystery. For years, I wrongly assumed that carb cycling was an advanced technique that would make my life more complicated, and that I didn’t need carbs in my diet at all. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Implemented properly, carb cycling makes fat loss easier from a physiological standpoint and, best of all, it makes dieting enjoyable because you actually get to eat carbs (aka pretty much every food you love). Many diets, such as Paleo or Atkins, almost completely ban you from eating carbs. When I tried the Paleo diet for myself, I found this style of eating overly-restrictive, and after months on the diet – and many missed social events – I finally gave in.

Wrong!Claim Your 20 Free Ovulation Tests – Click Here What is Ovulation and How Does it Work? Ovulation is when the egg inside of the follicle in either of the ovaries grows and matures, and is then released into the fallopian tubes. This way the egg is waiting for the sperm to fertilize it which is the only time a pregnancy can be achieved. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are working and helping the egg mature to prepare for ovulation. The FSH levels rise and a day to several days before ovulation, the LH starts to surge which is a sign that ovulation is on its way. It is important to pay attention to your ovulation cycles with ovulation tests to ensure that you focus your attention on the most optimum times."

In fact you’re so normal that you’re going through the same old process that everyone older than you has already gone through, felt awkward about and forgotten. The important thing is that you know what to expect, and that is what this section is for, for normal people like you. General PUBERTY ACNE HORMONES PERIODS MYTHS FAQWHAT IS PUBERTY? Your body begins to release hormones causing hair to grow in places it didn’t before, on legs, genitals, armpits, and for boys the face as well. Your body will begin to grow more rounded, you’ll notice a few extra curves appearing as your hips and breasts begin to fill out. Periods will start, and in between these times each month, you may notice a milky discharge from the vagina, this just means you’re healthy, nothing to worry about at all. WHAT’S GOING ON? What is happening to your body? The answer is a lot."

"text": "hannahransom Fertility Awareness, Hormonal Health, Nutrition, Pre-conception What to expect when coming off hormonal contraceptives and how to speed up your return to healthy cycles There are many reasons to be interested in coming off hormonal contraceptives, but I bet, regardless of your reasons for stopping hormonal contraceptives, you want to resume healthy cycles as quickly as possible. It’s certainly beneficial to have the healthy cycles back if you want to use the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness as natural birth control. It’s also beneficial for getting back into a general state of health, especially if one of your reasons for getting off the hormonal contraceptives was because of health issues. You may be interested in getting pregnant soon, or maybe even far off in the future, and want to make sure everything is working well. What it takes to get healthy cycles back Right after you quit, your body is still going to be teeming with the hormones that it’s been fed. Because of this, you are going to want to work on getting those hormones out of your system. You can accomplish this by supporting your body’s natural detoxification systems. You also are going to need to nourish your body with what it needs so that it can get back to making a healthy amount of hormones naturally. What to expect when coming off hormonal contraceptives When you are coming off the pill, you may be in for a wild ride. The whole time that you were on hormonal contraceptives your own hormones were put into a state of suspension."

We literally are getting at least 4+ threads a day with questions regarding tren . I figure we need a good solid tren thread here for newbies and experienced people alike where we can all come to a singular source to get information on it. I absolutely love tren, and have been using it for 5 years straight. Testosterone and trenbolone are the ONLY two anabolic steroids I ever use, and ever will use. So I figure that my experience and knowledge on it should lend to answering people's questions and curiosity concerning it. This thread isn't a trenbolone profile thread. It is more along the lines of how to use it practically in the real world, and what to expect out of it, and how you can make it a versatile compound. A 'profile' is merely an article that provides the raw data and statistics on a compound as opposed to actual into on real world practicality. I'd like to start off by pointing in the direction of the actual Tren profile for the purpose of familiarizing yourself with the compound first: http://www.steroid.com/Trenbolone.php I know that upon first glance tren seems to freak out and scares everyone (it did with me when I first read about it)... but then again, upon first glance didn't everything in the AAS world scare you?"

"text": "Natural Guide for Menstrual Health Hethir Rodriguez C. H., C. M. T. Having a healthy menstrual cycle is instrumental to having abundant fertility. The menstrual cycle can tell us a lot about what is happening in the body, if the uterus is getting enough circulation, if hormones are imbalanced, if you are ovulating and so much more. In this article we will cover the different phases of the menstrual cycle, how to use different signs of the menstrual cycle to determine your health, and how to use natural therapies such as fertility cleansing, herbs, and a natural fertility diet to help support and maintain a healthy cycle. Also determining what is ‘normal’ or what should be the goal for us to get our cycles back on track is equally as important. While everyone can not fit into one box, there is a general range that represents a healthy cycle. But let’s start from the beginning…What is a period? Menstruation (the period) is the shedding of the endometrium lining of the uterus. This generally occurs monthly, releasing blood and tissues from the uterus. How the cycle works…The period is only one part of the amazingly complex monthly fertility cycle orchestrated by the endocrine system. The endocrine glands work together to send messages via hormones."

In this article we will be focusing on the natural fertility signs that your cervix and cervical mucus provides each cycle. It's easy and effective to learn when you're fertile by checking your cervical mucus (also known as cervical fluid) and/or checking your cervix position and texture. Here's 4 reasons why you need to read this article;Having sex on the wrong days essentially means sperm will NOT reach your egg. You're going to learn how your cervix controls the transport of sperm and use this knowledge to your advantage. Understanding when to have sex based on mucus type can increase your chances of conception from 0% to 30%. Step-by-step \"\"how-to\"\" instructions and images will help you quickly learn this. While some methods of detecting fertility and ovulation rely on apparatus that you are required to buy (such as a basal body temperature thermometer or ovulation prediction kits) cervix and cervical fluid monitoring doesn't require you to purchase anything. All you need to do is be aware of the natural signs your body provides each cycle. Hormones that control your menstrual cycle are responsible for the pattern of changes that occur in your cervix and cervical mucus."

Waiting to see if two pink lines are in store for you this month can be agony, so it’s hard not to read into every twinge, cramp and extra trip to the bathroom. But what are the first signs of pregnancy you should really be on the lookout for? We break down the most common early pregnancy symptoms and what you can do to ease any ensuing discomfort. When Do Pregnancy Symptoms Start? There’s no hard and fast rule for when early pregnancy symptoms kick in. Some women may begin noticing the first early signs of pregnancy a week or two after conception, while others will start to feel symptoms closer to four or five weeks after, when your period is conspicuously late, or even farther into pregnancy. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, most women (59 percent) experienced an onset of pregnancy symptoms by their fifth or sixth week, while 71 percent reported symptoms by the end of week six and 89 percent by week eight. Whether you start to sense early pregnancy symptoms immediately or later in pregnancy, don’t fret. “ All women are different and don't experience the same symptoms of early pregnancy,” says Michele Justice, MD, an ob-gyn at Inova Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg, Virginia. “"

"text": "Tweet Reasons to Stop Taking Steroids Post Cycle Therapy Steroid Detection Times Half-Lives: A Simple Explanation How to Come off Steroids Post Cycle Therapy A post cycle therapy plan or “PCT”, it’s a phrase that’s often thrown around inappropriately on many steroid message boards. In many cases, people expect way too much out of post cycle therapy, and others won’t give it a chance based on a lack of understanding. With this in mind, we want to explain the purpose of post cycle therapy, what you can actually expect and the best way to implement it. Further, we want to discuss when it should be implemented; in some cases, a PCT plan will be followed when it shouldn’t have been; don’t worry, this will all make sense. What is a PCT Plan? When we supplement with anabolic androgenic steroids, our natural hormone levels are altered. Most anabolic steroids suppress our natural testosterone production to one degree or another, and if we’re not careful our estrogen and progesterone levels can increase beyond a healthy range. Of course, estrogen and progesterone can both be controlled while on cycle with proper supplementation practices, but the testosterone suppression will remain. Then we reach the point where our cycle has come to an end; we have discontinued the use of all anabolicsteroids, and as a result something must be done. When we discontinue our steroid use, our testosterone levels are still in a suppressed state, and it’s often recommended you stimulate natural production and let your body normalize."

The basic tests used to help diagnose urea cycle disorders are blood ammonia, plasma amino acids and urine organic acids. These laboratory tests measure substances that reflect how well the urea cycle is working. When there is a deficiency (block) in one of the enzymes in the urea cycle, certain chemical compounds build up behind the block and others are not adequately formed beyond the block. It is like the effects of a dam. Ammonia builds up in all urea cycle disorders and should be measured. Certain amino acids are elevated in some urea cycle disorders and decreased in others, depending on where the block lies."

Here are some instruments that marching bands use in their performances. Brass Instruments Cornet - The trumpet and cornet are quite similar; they are usually pitched in B flat, both are transposing instruments and they both have valves. But whereas the trumpet is used in jazz bands, the cornet is usually used in brass bands. Trumpets also have a more powerful sound and have a cylindrical bore. Cornets, on the other hand, have a conical bore. Trumpet - Although the trumpet underwent changes during the Renaissance, it has been in existence far longer than that. Used at first for military purposes, studies show that ancient people used materials such as animal horns for similar purposes, for example, to announce danger. Tuba - The tuba is deep-sounding and is the largest instrument of the brasswind family. Like the trombone, music for the tuba can either be written in the bass or treble clef."

"text": "Best Drum Sticks Article Contents Best Durable Drum Sticks Best Drum Sticks for Rock Best Drum Sticks for Jazz Best Drum Sticks for Metal Best Budget Drum Sticks Drumsticks are made in multiple lengths but most fall between 15 to 17-inches with the most distinguishing feature being the amount of taper between the shaft and the tip. Sticks vary in diameter, weight, and usually available in sizes between 2B (large) and 7A (small). Drumsticks come fitted with either wood or nylon tips with the most common tip shapes being round, barrel, and teardrop. Most drumsticks are made from wood for better control when performing basic and advanced techniques; some companies also craft sticks from alternate materials like metal and plastic. Additionally, many companies produce signature drumsticks designed to meet the specifications of professional drummers. For more help selecting the best drum sticks for your style of play, check out our buyers guide below. Best Durable Drum Sticks: All drumsticks are not created equal when it comes to their durability. The following is a list of the best durable drumsticks on the market, chosen based on criteria including their tip strength, shaft and grip durability, as well as their overall perseverance. The tips of drumsticks are the first part to break and it often doesn’t take very long to simply chip one. Nylon tips are a good alternative, but they don’t sound as good as wood tips and can actually break off completely!"

"text": "Griffin Goldsmith: Dawes’ Pocket Man August 20, 2013BY PATRICK FLANARYBy the end of “The Weight,” Griffin Goldsmith was in tears. The moment capped a December 2011 night in Woodstock, New York, where his band Dawes helped close one of Levon Helm’s final Midnight Rambles, four months before Helm died. Goldsmith found himself living a scene from his favorite film as a kid, The Last Waltz, the 1976 document of The Band’s final concert. He and Helm, 50 years apart in age, played in unison. Not long before, Robbie Robertson had invited Dawes to back him on the road. This year, for the hat trick, the group rounded out its connection to The Band when they landed the ultimate gig in April: opening 13 shows for Bob Dylan. That these seasoned few stand among Dawes’ peers reflects a group early in its career capable of dictating the direction of American music. Though rooted in West Coast pop-folk and R&B grit, Dawes has plucked much more from the country’s sprawling musical landscape. They owe as much to The Band and Blind Faith as they do to D’Angelo and Stax Records – Dawes’ Facebook page classifies their sound as “Americana Soul,” though they’re quick to buck labels in interviews. Stories Don’t End, their third album and first independent release, indeed sounds like a beginning, capturing a traveling band whose backbeat belongs to its youngest member."

"text": "\"Basic Set: $250-$1,000; $150-$800 used E-mail Post Tweet Comments (1)Typical costs: A basic beginners drum set runs about $250-$1,000 new and $150-$800 used. Better quality sets cost $1,500-$3,000 and up. Kid-sized drum sets start around $80-$150 for an inexpensive three-piece version but can run up $200-$1,000 or more, depending on the quality and number of pieces. Some new drum kits don't include cymbals, which can be quite expensive. A basic three-piece beginner set runs about $90-$200 and a four-piece set is typically $200-$500, but a three- or four-piece set of performance cymbals (with bag) can easily run $500-$1,500 or more. Many instructors recommend starting with a drum practice pad and buying a set only after developing intermediate drumming skills. Practice pads are small, lightweight, and designed to feel and play like a drum without making a lot of noise. They start around $8-$25 for basic pads, run $20-$60 for more complex models (tunable, on a stand, playable on top of your drum kit, etc.) and are $100-$200 or more for a complete practice pad set that simulates a standard drum kit, but is quieter and more portable. Rock Drumming System.com explains how to use a practice pad effectively [ 1] ."

This is achieved by attaching the drum (s) to a special harness (also called a carrier or rack) worn by the drummer, although not all marching bands use such harnesses and instead use traditional baldrics to sling their drums (the British Armed Forces, for instance, still use the old style of slung drums). The drums are designed and tuned for maximum articulation and projection of sound, as marching activities are almost always outdoors or in large interior spaces. Articulation is paramount to producing a \"\"clean\"\" sound from all the drummers in the line.

"text": "Introduction A percussion instrument is a musical instrument that is sounded by being struck or scraped by a beater (including attached or enclosed beaters or rattles); struck, scraped or rubbed by hand; or struck against another similar instrument. The percussion family is believed to include the oldest musical instruments, following the human voice. The percussion section of an orchestra most commonly contains instruments such as timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and tambourine. However, the section can also contain non-percussive instruments, such as whistles and sirens, or a blown conch shell. On the other hand, keyboard instruments, such as the celesta, are not normally part of the percussion section, but keyboard percussion instruments such as the glockenspiel and xylophone (which do not have piano keyboards) are included. Percussion instruments are most commonly divided into two categories: pitched percussion instruments, which produce notes with an identifiable pitch, and unpitched percussion instruments, which produce notes or sounds without an identifiable pitch. Percussion is commonly referred to as “the backbone” or “the heartbeat” of a musical ensemble, often working in close collaboration with bass instruments, when present. In jazz and other popular music ensembles, the pianist, bassist, drummer and sometimes the guitarist are referred to as the rhythm section. Most classical pieces written for full orchestra since the time of Haydn and Mozart are orchestrated to place emphasis on the strings, woodwinds, and brass. However, often at least one pair of timpani is included, though they rarely play continuously."

People spend more money to have the mattress that they want on the bed frame that perfectly supports their backs. After choosing the best bed pillows based on their needs, people spend time looking for bed sheets that are soft to the touch, not scratchy, and light and airy. This is where the importance of understanding thread count on your bed sheets becomes essential knowledge. You find yourself questioning what makes one type of bed sheet made from certain cotton different than another option. While you are aware of the significance in providing yourself with the best bedding options, you might not know all the ins and outs and tricky verbiage that comes along with shopping for new textiles. Understanding Thread Count To help make the decision process easier, it is important to understand exactly what thread count in bed sheets actually means. In essence, thread count is calculated by the number of both horizontal and vertical threads found in one square inch of fabric. Textile manufacturers count the threads that go both lengthwise and widthwise to create a thread count. For example, if 100 lengthwise threads are woven together with 100 widthwise threads, you'd have a thread count of 200."

Because Bitcoin miners only ever use their chips for Bitcoin mining, you can make chips that are really really fast if you make them solely with that purpose in mind.

"text": "by Dave Bankhead 17 Jan 2014 Difficulty: Beginner Length: Medium Languages: Music Theory Ever wondered what the best key for your song might be? From a practical point of view, the vocal range of your singer will obviously need bearing in mind. But what's the best key for your guitarist or bass player? What other considerations are there? In this tutorial we help choose the perfect key. “Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable”– Leonard Bernstein Let's start with the vocalist. A male singer with a strong tenor range voice might prefer to sing in a key like G or A major, where the natural ‘tessitura’ or range of the melody might often lie above middle C. But your favourite female singer is likely to enjoy working in a lower key, like D—or even C if she is an alto. She won’t want her voice sounding too high and thin!From an instrumental point of view, both electric and acoustic guitars sound naturally good in keys like E, A and D because their string tunings ‘fit’ well with those keys. On the other hand, in the key of D that low D will be out of range for your 4-string bass player, unless he decides to drop his bottom string tuning, or buy a five string!More complex still, arranging your piece in certain keys might mean the piano or string inversions you’ve written sound too full, and ‘clog up’ the whole mix. Do you rewrite them, or move the whole piece to a higher key?"

Please send your questions for future columns to [email protected]. We really want to hear them!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dear Post-acs,I’ve already had two job interviews (for the same company in New York), and I am encountering two questions that are giving me anxieties. The first is, “All you have is teaching experience; why should we hire you?” Well, that’s actually not true, as I have three years of non-academic professional experience, but I replied as best I could–responding that being a teacher at the college level gives you so many skills that are transferable in the business world: crafting presentations, managing multiple projects concurrently, client service skills, etc. But it’s tough not to get discouraged, especially since I feel like I’ve answered that question over and over again since leaving academia. The second has to do with my resume and the perception that I’ve “jumped around” since graduating. I feel like my international experience and my work in multiple fields should be an asset, but I’m gathering that what people see is a professional who cannot commit to one place, one field."

Nobody knows what the One Piece is. They have no clue what it does, and some people probably even questioned it's existence, until Whitebeard confirmed it was real. So that poses the question as to why all these Pirates would take to the sea's and try to locate it in the first place... Well lets take a look at Gol D. Rogers dying words.... \"\"All my wealth and treasure? It can be yours if you want!! Search for it!! I left everything in that one place!!\"\" Notice he doesn't say anything about the \"\"One Piece\"\" before he dies.... All he mentions is that he left his Wealth and Treasure in a specific place, and if anyone wants it, they just have to find it. But that doesn't mean that Roger wasn't talking about the One Piece, it just means he was clever in choosing his dying words. What is the thing most Pirates desire? Treasure and Fame!"

This answer may be added to, but must remain as is otherwise. The portions of the Bible that contain the account of Jesus death were originally written in Greek. To understand what the instrument that was used for his execution was, we have to realize what the original Greek words that were used, mean. The two words that describe the executional instrument were: \"\"stauros\"\" and \"\"xylon.\"\" The word \"\"stauros\"\" means an upright pale or stake. The Companion Bible points out: \"\" [Stauros] never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle. There is nothing in the Greek of the [New Testament] even to imply two pieces of timber. \"\" The Imperial Bible-Dictionary acknowledges this, saying: \"\"The Greek word for cross, [stauros], properly signified a stake, an upright pole, or piece of paling, on which anything might be hung, or which might be used in impaling [fencing in] a piece of ground... Even amongst the Romans the crux (from which our cross is derived) appears to have been originally an upright pole.\"\" --Edited by P. Fairbairn (London, 1874), Vol."

The first time it was seen being used and referred to as Haki was during Luffy's battle on Amazon Lily with the Boa Sisters.

By Michael Muchmore October 11, 2013 8:00AM ESTFacebook Twitter Linkedin Pinterest Reddit Email Copy VIEW ALL PHOTOS IN GALLERYContents How to Dual Boot Windows 8.1 and Windows 7Download the Installer You're a little curious about this new Windows 8.1. But you're also a bit scared at the same time, since you've heard that it's such a big adjustment from good old Windows 7. Fear not, there's a way you can test the waters while still holding onto your tried and true system software—by setting up a dual-boot system. Installing Windows 8.1 this way gives you a clear, clean choice screen at system startup of which operating system version you want to use. So how do you accomplish this? It's really not much more difficult than your typical Windows installation, with a couple of preparatory steps before you start the actual setup. Follow the procedure below and you'll be able to switch back and forth between operating systems at will. One preliminary note, though: This multi-boot setup only works with Windows 7 and Vista: To set up a multi-boot system with Windows XP or Ubuntu, you'll need a third-party multi-boot tool such as the excellent Easy BCD from Neo Smart Technologies. Step 1: Back Up!"

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 6:14Over the last 20 years or so, Nike has been one of the major innovators in the soccer world when it comes to synthetic uppers and wild designs. In today’s current soccer cleat market, it takes something truly outrageous to get people talking, and Nike has successfully raised the bar once again with the Magista Obra. Featuring a very unique Fly Knit upper construction, along with an equally unusual mid-cut design. Similar design elements can also be found on Nike’s own Superfly 4, letting us know that this style of soccer footwear is something that Nike will most likely be pushing for the next little while. So, since we’re going to have to live with it, how does it actually perform? Comfort/Fit The most unique aspect of the Obra is how the boot fits and moves with your foot. The implementation of Fly Knit as the primary upper material really is a game changer when it comes to performance, as well as overall comfort. Since it was originally introduced in 2012, mainly as a primary upper material for running shoes, Fly Knit has been marketed as the only upper material that allowed for a sock-like fit, as well as being able to provide a sock-like level of comfort."

Cent OS 6, in common with most Linux distributions, will happily co-exist on a hard disk drive with just about any version of Windows up to and including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This is a concept known as dual-booting. Essentially, when you power up the system, you will be presented with a menu providing the option to boot either your Cent OS 6 installation or Windows. Obviously you can only run one operating system at a time in such a configuration, but it is worth noting that the files on the Windows partition of your disk drive will be available to you from Cent OS 6 regardless of whether your Windows partition was formatted using Microsoft’s NTFS, FAT16 or FAT32 file system formats. This installation method involves shrinking the size of the existing Windows partition to accommodate the installation of Cent OS 6. How you go about doing this will depend on the version of Windows currently installed on the disk.

In modern times, non-physical data hiding is usually associated with digital forms such as cryptography, steganography, and watermarking. Although related in the sense that they all are means to achieve secure or proprietary communications, there are differences among their three activities at a number of levels – some of which are quite subtle. To illustrate, the cryptographer's interest is primarily with obscuring the content of a message, but not the communication of the message. The steganographer, on the other hand is concerned with hiding the very communication of the message, while the digital watermarker attempts to add sufficient metadata to a message to establish ownership, provenance, source, etc. Cryptography and steganography share the feature that the object of interest is embedded, hidden or obscured, whereas the object of interest in watermarking is the host or carrier which is being protected by the object that is embedded, hidden or obscured. Further, watermarking and steganography may be used with or without cryptography; and imperceptible watermarking shares functionality with steganography, whereas perceptible watermarking does not. Overviews exist for cryptography [13], steganography [9], [14], and watermarking [3]. However, there is also a physical aspect of digital data hiding. In this case, digital storage locations are used to hide or conceal data. Obviously, these storage locations must be somewhat obscure or detection would be trivial."

"text": "Army OCP “Scorpion”Although the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) required the Department of Defense to choose a single camouflage pattern to span all branches of the military, the hunt for the ideal camo has been going on far longer. And though some believe the search reaches back to 2010’s Camouflage Improvement Effort (CIE) – which was the Army’s competition meant to result in the selection of a new pattern – this journey has actually stretched out for more than a decade. In 2004, as the Iraq war ramped up, the Army adopted a new Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP): Digital camouflage. The UCP cost more than $5 billion to create, was not properly tested, and failed to do its job in a variety of environments. After the price tag was revealed to the public, a single anonymous statement was made claiming the creation of the pattern as actually in the millions, not billions, and the inflated cost made public included uniforms purchased to date as opposed to pattern creation alone. Regardless, the creation and immediate issue of UCP wasn’t only a failure in monetary costs; it would not be a stretch to say the unpopular pixelated pattern cost American lives. The Army announced they’d made their selection on July 31, 2014: a new Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), known as Scorpion W2. The new OCP is a vast improvement over the old UCP, but there has been some debate regarding its resemblance to what will soon be the former OCP, Multicam. Those debates have also led to speculation of why the Army didn’t simply go with Multicam. And, of course, there are questions being raised regarding how these changes will affect the rest of the military’s uniform."

This guide will try to explain only what you really need to know. I believe it is not necessary to understand the finer details of everything that is going on, that simply being aware of the general flow of the boot sequence is more than enough to allow you to make the correct choices when setting up or reconfiguring your multiboot system."

"text": "Buyers Guide: Touring and Sport-Touring Boots Bill Stermer / February 1, 2013Each type of motorcycle—sportbikes, dual-sports, cruisers, naked bikes, tourers and sport tourers—is designed to perform a series of specific tasks, and each is finely honed to that use. Likewise, the gear we wear needs to be as finely honed to the specific task as our motorcycles. With that said, what makes for a good touring or sport-touring boot? Define these tasks, and you will define how this type of boot should function. Touring, especially when done in a sporting manner, involves travel at greater velocities, which demands a boot that offers protection and long-distance comfort in a variety of weather conditions. The matter of fit and comfort is quite subjective, but we have found that a comfortable boot flexes well and does not restrict the ability to squat down to check tire pressure or pick up a glove that has fallen off the seat. It likewise allows the ankle to flex for easy shifting, braking and walking up and down stairs. The sole should not be so thick or stiff as to detract from the “feel” of the brake pedal. Expect a shifter pad atop the left boot. Some makers place a pad atop each boot for symmetry, and because some classic bikes shift on the right with the brake lever on the left."

Nine widths are available, ranging from AAA (narrowest) to EEE (widest). For men, a D width is considered a medium; for women, a medium is a B width. For comfortable shoe-wearing, it is important to get your width right. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Shoe Width In order of narrowest to widest, the nine shoe widths available in the U. S. are: AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE. As such, only the A and E sizes are further divided into sub-sizes. At the narrow end (A), additional letters indicate a narrower width, whereas at the wider end (E), the more letters equals a wider width. D Width A D-width is considered a medium for men and a wide for women. It measures between 3 and 5 inches across the bottom of the ball of the foot, depending on your shoe size. For instance, in men's footwear, a size 10D is 4 inches across, while a size 14D is 4.5 inches across."

"text": "\"Sometimes, shoes are worn only once because they're uncomfortable or they give the shoe wearer a blister. When trying on shoes, measure your foot to indicate exactly what size you wear. Length is not all that should be considered. Shoe widths should always be considered when buying a pair to get the perfect fit. Shoe Widths Indicated by Letters Shoe widths are indicated by letters from the alphabet. In men's shoes, letters most commonly used are C, D and E. In women's shoes, the most common letters are AA and B. There are other letters used for extreme sizes, but they're harder to find. Narrow Width Size Narrow widths in shoes are for people who have a narrower-than-average foot. In men, a narrow shoe width is defined by the letter B; in women's shoes, it's indicated by AA. Medium Shoe Width Medium shoe widths are the most common size and considered the average or standard in the shoe industry. In men's shoes, the letter used is a D; for women, it's B. Wide-Width Shoe Wide-width shoes are for people who have a foot that is wider than the average foot."

"text": "Understanding Shoe Sizing Although you and your toddler may both wear a shoe size of 7, it’s obvious that your shoes are not the same size. Men and women may also both wear a size 12, but the man’s size 12 will be almost half an inch longer than the woman’s. To complicate matters even further, there’s lots of variation in shoe width, and many countries also size shoes differently. Fortunately, a little time with a measuring tape and the right size chart can help you get the perfect fit. Shoe Sizing Basics Length Your numerical shoe size, whether you are buying Italian shoes or American shoes, is based on the length of your foot. This is the distance from your heel to your longest toe. It does not account for shape variations or width. Width Although some shoes only come in standard widths, many are available in wider or narrower styles. Knowing the width of your foot and how it compares to a pair of shoes is essential for a comfortable fit. Shoe width is usually described with a letter or group of letters, such as “D” or “EEEE.”"

In “ The Hunt, ” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have. We’ve talked a lot about flats over the years, but I don’t think we’ve ever done a major roundup of the most comfortable ballet flats for work. So ladies, let’s hear it — which are your favorites? What are your favorite ways to break in a new pair of flats, or make them more comfortable for your feet? ( As someone with narrow heels I’m always adding these heel pads .) Although rounded toes have come really far for work, I still think the best flat for work is one that has a bit of a point to it, in a durable leather, preferably with a rubber sole or rubber heel for comfort and grip. I know some people hate the look of patent leather flats, but I don’t mind them, particularly in a tumbled patent leather (like the Calvin Klein flat pictured below) or a color other than black, like a nice gray. We’ve rounded up some of the best-selling, highest rated styles below — which brands and styles are your favorite? Hall of Famers: BP .,"

"text": "\"Shoes Women's International Shoe Size Conversion Share Pin Email Matthias Tunger/Digital Vision/Getty Imagesby Desiree Stimpertupdated March 03, 2018If you do all your shoe-shopping in brick-and-mortar stores, you might not realize that sizing varies among countries. After all, a salesperson is typically available to help you find the right size, you're able to inspect the shoe physically, and you can try it on. Look a bit more closely at the tag or imprint, however, and you might find multiple international sizes listed. This lack of standardization can pose a challenge if you prefer to do your shoe-shopping online. For example, let's say you're a size 7 (U. S.). Choose a size 7 from a British manufacturer, and you'll wind up with a pair that's two-and-a-half sizes too big for your U. S.-sized feet. Likewise, ordering a size 7 from a Mexican manufacturer will get you shoes that fit a size 10 foot in the U. S. And you might not dream of ever ordering a size 38 shoe, but that's exactly what you'll need if it's sold in China. Few fashion items are more uncomfortable than a pair of shoes that don't fit well, and returning shoes you've bought online can be a hassle. Taking two steps in your stocking feet first can save you trouble later: Measure your feet, and check the chart. Measure Your Feet If you're serious about getting the perfect fit the first time out, your feet should be measured."

Joe, my youngest, learned to walk in a single day at 10 months -- no doubt compelled into action by the freedom his older brothers were enjoying. On Friday he was still crawling everywhere, and by Saturday night he was staggering around with the proudest grin I'd ever seen. Differently as they did it, each of my kids learned to walk in a perfectly normal fashion.

"text": "\"The importance of proper fitting shoes is underrated and even over looked but it's a big issue for everyone. Improper fitting shoes can cause calluses, blisters, bunions, hammertoes and a variety of other problematic foot conditions. For diabetics that are prone to foot problems, it is even more important for them to wear proper fitting shoes. Common Foot Problems and Risks with Diabetes Poor circulation Nerve damage Foot ulcers and wounds Infections Amputations To go into more detail from the list above, damaged blood vessels can cause diabetics to have poor circulation resulting in wounds healing slower and becoming more susceptible to infection. Diabetics are also vulnerable to nerve damage known as diabetic neuropathy which most often affects the legs and feet. Diabetic neuropathy in the early stages can be painful but can also progress and cause a loss of sensation in the affected areas. Poor circulation and diabetic neuropathy become a dangerous combination for diabetics as it creates a higher risk of developing foot ulcers and other foot complications that can lead to amputation - this is why having proper fitting shoes is so important!Taking Care of Your Feet Find proper fitting shoes that accommodate your needs Have both feet measured at least once a year Schedule regular meetings with your podiatrist Most diabetics that are following a treatment plan for their diabetes can wear shoes that do not require any modifications, but people with severe foot deformities may require custom made therapeutic shoes and orthotic inserts to accommodate their foot condition (s). It's best to speak with a primary care physician and a podiatrist to see whether custom shoes and inserts are needed or if prefabricated diabetic shoes can be worn instead. An important part of the shoe buying process is having your feet measured to determine the size and width. Overtime feet tend to change in shape and size so it's a good practice to have you feet measured every year."

Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are \"\"singles\"\" (with one player per side) and \"\"doubles\"\" (with two players per side). Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the opposing side's half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. Play ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor or if a fault has been called by the umpire, service judge, or (in their absence) the opposing side. [ 1]The shuttlecock is a feathered or (in informal matches) plastic projectile which flies differently from the balls used in many other sports. In particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly."

Tennis shoes are designed to hold up to the rigors of the court, factoring in things such as quick stops and starts, short sprints, lateral movements, lunging, jumping, and fast pivots. As a result, tennis shoes will have extra lateral support, heavier and stiffer materials, more cushioning, shock absorption, reinforced soles, and reinforced toecaps. Besides comparing the best tennis shoes (for men and women) out there, we’ll also talk a little about all of the features of tennis shoes and what they do. Ultimately, you’ll want to find a pair of shoes that provide a good level of speed, agility, and endurance tailored to how you play.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a chef, cutting hair in a salon or teaching in a classroom, standing all day can be very uncomfortable and lead to serious health complications due to bad posture. Quick Navigation Athletic Clogs Dress Work Boots Insoles Summary Table Health Issues When Standing All Day Maybe you tell yourself that you just have to get used to standing at work all day, and it will get better soon. But honestly,Feeling uncomfortable or having pain in your feet, ankle or lower back because of poor posture and bad shoes after a hard day of work should not be taken lightly. Some serious issues could affect you: Painful feet Knee problems Lower back pain Neck and shoulder stiffness Poor posture Muscle soreness and fatigue Characteristics of Comfortable All-Day-Wear Shoes The shoe has to fit your foot arch and provide proper support Don’t go for shoes with flat outsole; You should get shoes that have an elevated heel by at least 1/4 inch, and no more than 2 inches; This comes from the recommendation published by the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers Inc. The material should fit your workspace environment. If you work in a kitchen, you might want to have shoes that are slip resistant. If your choice is tennis shoes or athletic footwear make sure they have proper arch support and cushioning. The weight of the shoe; Be sure to wear light shoes. Be careful about the width of the shoe, too narrow will hurt your toes and too wide your feet will become unstable."

"text": "« Love Your Arches Rid Yourself of Aching Feet and Tired Feet »Shoe Widths 101Feb 18th, 2011 by John Almodovar | 7 Comments So Far Shoe Widths: AA, C, B, D, CD, E? For some, shoe sizes can be a confusing thing – especially with all those darn widths. But shoe widths are available for a reason. They’re available because believe or not, some feet are wider than others; and at the same time, some people may suffer with certain foot conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, diabetes and edema, which wide sized shoes can accommodate. But probably the biggest misconception people have about shoe sizing is the assumption that all they have to do is go up one size to accommodate their wide feet. For example, let’s say that someone purchased a size 8 in women’s dress shoes, but after trying them on for a second time, it was decided that the shoe is too narrow but the length is perfect. At this point, this person should consider exchanging the size 8 to an 8-wide; but what tends to happen is the person will try to exchange the size 8 to the next whole size up, which would be size 9. Unfortunately, all this does is make the shoe longer and the shoe will most likely still have a narrow fit. Don’t do that. Like I mentioned above, there’s a reason why shoe manufacturers make wide sizes."

Quote | Replygrosso27Nov 5, 10 10:52Post #1 of 19 (12220 views)I ordered two pairs of Newtons (Sir Isaac S) & they came yesterday. I am typically an 11 in all shoes, though an 11.5 in Brooks Ravenna. Newton says you will generally go 1/2 up, but the 11.5s feel a bit like gun boats to me. I've got at least a Full thumbs width space. I know the lugs are supposed to be under the ball of your foot, but I can't really visually tell a difference with the metatarsal vs lugs. When wearing, on the 11 I feel like I notice the lugs, on the 11.5 I don't (which makes me think they are in front of the ball of my foot). Yes, a running store probably could have helped, but nobody around here carries these. Any thoughts? Thanks!Re: Does everybody 1/2 size up in Newtons? ["

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: it means the doctor does not have the M. D. (Doctorate of Medicine) degree that most doctors have. that doctor has a Doctorate of Osteopathy instead. Osteopathy is a system and philosophy of health care that separated from traditional medical and it places emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, Osteopaths also believe strongly in the healing power of the body and do their best to facilitate that strength. During this century, the disciplines of osteopathy and typical medicine have been converging. Osteopathy shares many of the same goals as traditional medicine, but places greater emphasis on the relationship between the organs and the musculoskeletal system.

Fantastic Four Promotional art for Fantastic Four #509 (March 2004) by Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel Publication information Publisher Marvel Comics First appearance The Fantastic Four #1 (November, 1961)Created by Stan Lee (writer) Jack Kirby (artist)In-story information Base (s)Baxter Building Avengers Mansion (formerly)Four Freedoms Plaza Pier 4Member (s)Mister Fantastic Invisible Woman Human Torch Thing Roster See: List of Fantastic Four members The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 ( cover dated Nov. 1961), which helped to usher in a new level of realism in the medium. The Fantastic Four was the first superhero team created by editor/co-plotter Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby, who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this title that they would use from then on. The four individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space, are Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius and the leader of the group, who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; the Invisible Woman (Susan \"\"Sue\"\" Storm), who eventually married Reed, who can render herself invisible and later project powerful invisible force fields; the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue's younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly; and the monstrous Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, a former college football star and Reed's college roommate as well as a good pilot, who possesses tremendous superhuman strength, durability, and endurance due to the nature of his stone-like flesh. Since their original 1961 introduction, the Fantastic Four have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional, yet loving, family. Breaking convention with other comic book archetypes of the time, they would squabble and hold grudges both deep and petty and eschewed anonymity or secret identities in favor of celebrity status. The team is also well known for its recurring encounters with characters such as the villainous monarch Doctor Doom, the planet-devouring Galactus, the sea-dwelling prince Namor, the spacefaring Silver Surfer and the shape-changing alien Skrulls. The Fantastic Four have been adapted into other media, including four animated series and four live-action films."

"text": "Home > Health Library Respiratory Distress Syndrome<< Back to Pediatrics What is respiratory distress syndrome? Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a breathing problem that sometimes affects babies born six weeks or more before their due dates. Their lungs aren't developed enough to make surfactant, a liquid that coats the inside of the lungs and keeps them open so that the baby can breathe in air once he or she is born. RDS is different from bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), another breathing condition that affects premature babies. While RDS usually develops in the first 24 hours after birth, BPD usually develops within the next week or two. Symptoms Rapid, shallow breathing Sharp pulling in of the chest below the ribs with each breath taken in Grunting sounds during exhalation Flaring of the nostrils during breathing Diagnosis Tests include: A chest X-ray, which also can identify complications like a collapsed lung that may require urgent treatment Blood tests to see whether the baby has enough oxygen in his or her blood (These tests also can rule out infection and sepsis as a cause of the breathing problems. ) Echocardiogram to rule out congenital heart defects as the cause of the breathing problems Treatment The most important treatments for RDS are: Surfactant replacement therapy Breathing support Prognosis Thanks to recent medical advances, most babies with RDS who weigh more than two pounds at birth now survive and have no long-term health or development problems.

"text": "\"Many professional CDL drivers have been a victim of what many drivers consider to be \"\"the notorious DAC Report\"\". And you might ask, what does DAC stand for? In the trucking industry, DAC stands for Drive-A-Check. For the professional CDL driver, the DAC report can be equally as important to your career and financial future as your personal consumer credit report. So exactly what is the DAC Report and why is it so important? The DAC report is a detailed summary of a driver's work history. It contains information such as reasons for leaving the job, number of accidents, type of truck and trailer operated, type of driving, if a driver is eligible for rehire and much more. The DAC report also contains the driver's social security number, D/L number, if he/she applied for worker's compensation, and any criminal reports. All too often the information contained in a driver's DAC report prohibits a driver from being rehired by the same company, or being hired by another company. When considering a driver for employment, a company places a a very high value on the driver's DAC report."

"text": "\"\"\"Upgradeitis\"\" is a term bandied about the audio world to describe the desire to buy new gear that you technically don't need. Sure, an extra HDMI input or a slightly better room correction system would be nice, but they are rarely necessary. When a person is frugal enough to deny themselves major replacement purchases for incremental upgrades, they often start looking at other gear that is less known. An external DAC is a popular choice. A Digital to Analog Converter, or DAC, takes your digital content and transforms it into analog so that your system can amplify it and play it through your speakers. If you think you already have DACs in your system, you would be correct. Anything that can accept a digital signal and output sound must include a DAC. This includes your phone, MP3 player, receiver, AV processor, computer, laptop, CD/DVD/Blu-ray player with analog outputs, wireless speakers, clock radios, and more. But Do You Need a DAC? If all of these devices already have DACs, why would you need an external one?"

"text": "Ears on with the LG G5’s Bang and Olufsen DACFeatures News by Robert Triggs April 18, 2016636636Along with its new G5 smartphone, LG unveiled a wide range of mobile accessories, dubbed the LG Friends, to complement its latest flagship. During its launch event, LG proudly presented its LG Hi-Fi Plus and B&O PLAY modular audio accessory. In short, this is a portable Hi-Fi digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier developed in collaboration with Danish audio experts Bang and Olufsen. The hardware promises top of the line specifications and Hi-Fi sound for those with acute ears. Today we are going to take a closer look at what the B&O PLAY DAC has to offer and how it compares to the listening experience available from our pre-production G5 right out of the box. A closer look at LG Hi-Fi Plus with B&O PLAYJust like the LG CAM Plus, the B&O PLAY audio module snaps straight into the bottom of the G5, featuring its own dedicated 3.5mm jack, along with the same USB Type-C connector and bottom speaker grill that you find on the regular G5. As an immediate bonus, this second jack means that you can conveniently plug your headphones into the bottom of the phone. Interestingly, the regular LG G5 headphone jack continues to function while the external DAC is plugged, although obviously without any of the benefits offered by the modular component. Although the module is primarily marketed as an accessory for the LG G5, the B&O Play can actually be used with a wider range of devices. The DAC can be connected up to any smartphone or even a PC via its USB Type-C port, making it quite a handy a portable audio companion — just as long as you don’t mind carrying around additional cables and hardware in your pocket."

The system came of age during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s. During this time, foreign aid was often used to support client states in the developing world. Even though funds were generally better used in countries that were well governed, they were instead directed toward allies. Post Cold War [ edit]After the end of the Cold War, the declared focus of official aid began to move further towards the alleviation of poverty and the promotion of development. The countries that were in the most need and poverty became more of a priority."

"text": "FEB 2013VOL 47HDMI Made Easy: HDMI-to-VGA and VGA-to-HDMI Convertersby Brett Li and Witold Kaczurba The consumer market has adopted High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI ®) technology in TVs, projectors, and other multimedia devices, making HDMI a globally recognized interface that will soon be required in all multimedia devices. Already popular in home entertainment, HDMI interfaces are becoming increasingly prevalent in portable devices and automotive infotainment systems. Implementation of a standardized multimedia interface was driven by a highly competitive consumer market where time to market is a critical factor. In addition to improved market acceptance, using a standard interface greatly improves compatibility between projectors, DVD players, HDTVs, and other equipment produced by various manufacturers. In some industrial applications, however, the transition from analog video to digital video is taking longer than in the consumer market, and many devices have not yet moved to the new digital approach of sending integrated video, audio, and data. These devices still use analog signaling as their only means of transmitting video, possibly due to specific requirements of a particular market or application. For example, some customers still prefer to use video graphics array (VGA) cables for projectors, while others use an audio/video receiver (AVR) or media box as a hub, connecting a single HDMI cable to the TV instead of a batch of unaesthetic cables, as outlined in Figure 1. Figure 1. Media box converts analog signal to HDMI. New adopters may see HDMI as a relatively complicated standard to implement, requiring a validated software driver, interoperability checks, and compliance testing to guarantee proper behavior of one device with various other devices."

"text": "Truck Driver Salary: Average Truck Driver Pay Per Mile I get a lot of email from truck drivers asking about pay. As soon as they find out I have been trucking for 25+ years, they want to know what is considered good pay, yearly salary, or average pay per mile. So, I decided to break it down into below average pay, average pay, and above average pay. Unfortunately, for a lot of trucking companies, pay hasn’t changed much over the past 25 years. But with many companies, it has. You have to dig deep to find the good jobs. That has always been the case. In a nutshell, this is how I see it- Pay per mile, and average miles, to me, isn’t the issue. It’s weekly pay, or yearly pay. In other words, how much money do you really make, never mind all the jargon about miles, money and home-time that a lot of companies throw at you."

"text": "DAC is an acronym for Digital-to-Analog Converter. A DAC transforms digital signal into analog signal that can be then used by an analog device. A common example would be to convert digital music to analog for an amplifier (inside headphones or speakers). DACs are used in a wide variety of applications including modems. What’s an analog signal? The sounds/music that we hear and record are transmitted by sound wave that propagate through the air as a continuous analog signal. It looks like a 2D waveform if we were to visualize it. To record the analog signal into a digital form, the recording process measures the sound waves and saves it as binary information tens of thousands of times per second. For example, a 44 k Hz audio file has been sampled (measured) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling and the precision of each sample (16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit or more), and the more accurate the digital recording is."

These past few weeks I’ve been taking a handful of dongle USB DACs out of their comfort zone: away from the desktop and into the street. Out of the blue and into the black. My intent? To re-imagine Apple’s 5th generation i Pod Touch as a viable, ‘audiophile grade’ alternative to the likes of the Astell&Kern digital audio players, for which we need to improve their D/A conversion and headphone output staging. Think of it as rolling your own. Despite the huge leap in GUI attractiveness and functionality made by i River in moving the AK100/120 to second generation models, the interfaces found on i OS-driven devices remain light years ahead of the DAP rivals. That and the i Pod Touch bring streaming services like Spotify, Qobuz and Pandora into the game; the only audiophile-grade music player to do this to date is Sony’s NWZ-ZX1 (AU$699). What if one could append a suitably small DAC/headphone amplifier to the i Pod Touch using Apple’s Lightning-to-USB adaptor? Trial and error has exposed a few USB DACs that play ball with the 5th generation i Pod Touch and also those that don’t."

Article Gadgets Mobile LG Technology What Exactly is the LG V20’s “Quad DAC” ,How Does It Works and does it affect audio quality? By Sparsh - December 7, 2016 0Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter With the launch of LG V20 in India, “Quad” DAC term has led to a fair bit of confusion. With some wondering if LG is counting the number of outputs, or if there’s multiple DACs for different audio paths. I assure you that this isn’t the case, but a proper explanation is far more complicated. So without getting into complexity,I’ll try to explain (also keeping it as easy as possible) what exactly is “Quad” DAC or Hi-Fi DAC. According to the press release – The ES9218 is a 32-bit 394k Hz and DSD512 capable component, with some nifty sounding analog audio controls, jitter controls, and integrated headphone amplifier. The chip also promises 130d B SNR, 124d B DNR and -112d B THD+N to please audiophiles. Importantly, the release says that this is a stereo (2-channel) component with no mention of a differential output, so the quad output theory instantly goes out of the window. Even so, the release is still cluttered with references to this mysterious “Quad” technology. So let’s try and figure this out."

"text": "New From Channel Islands… The Transient MK IIBy Andre Marc Channels Islands Audio, headed by industry veteran Dusty Vawter, has been making cutting edge products since 1997. The company is known to many as early purveyors of Class D amplifiers, upgradeable DACs, headphone amps, add on outboard power supplies, and passive linestages. The CIAudio VDA-2 DAC is a staff favorite. CIAudio provides quality products at sane prices, and they are built in the U. S. A. to boot. The company sells direct and through hand chosen catalogers and retailers. In for review is one of CIAudio’s newest products, the $699 Transient Mk II USB to S/PDIF converter and DAC. Essentially it takes the USB audio from your Mac or Windows PC, and converts it to 75 Ohm BNC (supplied with an RCA adaptor), S/PDIF for use with legacy DACs without a suitable USB input. But that is not the end of the story. The Transient Mk II is an interesting take on USB to S/PDIF interfaces. It also features two I2S outputs for connection to compatible gear, like those made by Wyred4Sound and PS Audio."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search It has been suggested that this article be merged into Carbon sequestration. ( Discuss) Proposed since April 2018. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) refers to a number of technologies, the objective of which is the large-scale removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [ 1] Among such technologies are bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, biochar, ocean fertilization, enhanced weathering, and direct air capture when combined with storage. [ 1] CDR is a different approach than removing CO 2 from the stack emissions of large fossil fuel point sources, such as power stations. The latter reduces emission to the atmosphere but cannot reduce the amount of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere. As CDR removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, it creates negative emissions, offsetting emissions from small and dispersed point sources such as domestic heating systems, airplanes and vehicle exhausts. [ 2] [3] It is regarded by some as a form of climate engineering, [1] while other commentators describe it as a form of carbon capture and storage or extreme mitigation. [ 4] Whether CDR would satisfy common definitions of \"\"climate engineering\"\" or \"\"geoengineering\"\" usually depends upon the scale on which it would be undertaken. The likely need for CDR has been publicly expressed by a range of individuals and organizations involved with climate change issues, including IPCC chief Rajendra Pachauri, [5] the UNFCCC executive secretary Christiana Figueres, [6] and the World Watch Institute.

"text": "d CS Launches New Flagship Vivaldi 2.0 System Newsby TAS Staff | Apr 12th, 2016Categories: Disc players, Digital-to-analog converters The following is a press release issued by d CS. April 12, 2016 - The original Vivaldi was launched in late-2012 to widespread critical acclaim. Music industry professionals and audiophiles alike declared it to be the finest sounding digital front end on sale. Comprising the Vivaldi Transport, Vivaldi DAC, Vivaldi Upsampler, and Vivaldi Master Clock, this cost-no-object flagship system pushed the boundaries of what was then possible with digital replay. Vivaldi processed practically every digital format and offered a vast array of input and output configurations. At its heart was a new generation of the d CS Ring DAC™, a unique, bespoke-designed digital-to-analogue converter that offered superlative sound quality and technical performance. As with every d CS product, subsequent firmware updates have improved Vivaldi’s functionality and performance since its introduction. Now though, d CS has made a number of landmark hardware and software improvements to the system, warranting the 2.0 suffix. The changes are designed to make Vivaldi even easier to use, more flexible, and even better sounding. The improvements 2.0 comprise include double-speed DSD upsampling in the Transport, while the DAC gets additional gain settings, a new mapping algorithm, and a new DSD filter."

"text": "\"What is a DAC? A DAC is a Digital-to-Analog Converter A DAC [Digital-to-Analog Converter] is a device that converts digital audio information (comprised of a series of 0s and 1s) into an analog audio signal that can be sent to a headphone amp. In most cases, you can not connect a headphone directly into a DAC. Thus, a headphone amp must serve as the intermediary step between a DAC and your headphones. The most popular DAC connection method is via the USB feed from a computer. There are also digital feeds available from Optical and Coaxial outputs -- also known as SPDi F connections -- found on CD/DVD players and other audio gadgets that can connect into a DAC. Modern smartphones can even be hooked into outboard amp/DACs, typically by using sundry interconnect cables and adapters. Remember that lossy (low bitrate) MP3 files will always lack detail and dynamics so the most important thing to improve your headphone sound quality is to rip your digital music in uncompressed formats or at the highest possible bitrate for best sound quality. So to truly understand how a DAC functions, we should first understand what an analog signal is. An analog audio signal is a continuously varying voltage that perfectly represents (or is analog- ous) to the continuously varying sound wave that you hear."

"text": "\"No, FLAC Does Not “Sound Better” – Here’s What It Actually Is And Why It’s Important5 Replies Lately, I have read more and more individuals preaching the sonic virtues of FLAC with literally no idea what they are talking about. They spout annoying, misleading drivel that has no basis in reality whatsoever. Let’s learn about FLAC, why it’s good, and why it isn’t, shall we? What in the fuck is “FLAC”? FLAC is an audio encoding format. It’s also a very good one for a number of reasons. FLAC is a “lossless” format, meaning none of the data from the source recording is compressed or removed (assuming you use the same bit depth [not the same thing as bit rate] and frequency range). This is inarguably a good thing. Lossless is the word of the year (or last 3) among audiophiles, but the implications of lossless have been twisted and manipulated in ways that are just not factually supported. Why is FLAC awesome (and is it awesome)?"

We put together the following FAQ to help answer questions about what this all means, who is eligible, and what eligible youth can do next. What does “deferred action” mean? Who is eligible for DACA relief? How old do I have to be to apply for deferred action? I am not currently in school, but would like to re-enroll in high school. Could I qualify? What types of school qualify under the DACA program?"

Supreme Court’s 4-4 split decision on June 23, 2016, effectively blocked President Obama’s executive actions on immigration that expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and created Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA). Then, on June 16, 2017, the Trump administration completely eliminated the DAPA program. DHS Secretary John Kelly signed a memorandum that rescinds Deferred Action for Parents of Americans. If it could have been implemented, DAPA could have helped an estimated 3.7 million undocumented immigrants in the U. S. obtain temporary employment authorization and protection from deportation. There’s still reason for undocumented immigrants to remain optimistic. Immigration advocates and organizations are pushing hard for legislative change that will provide relief to undocumented immigrants already in the United States and positively contributing to the U.

On February 16, 2015, a federal judge in Texas blocked these two programs (expanded DACA and DAPA). The injunction meant that the two programs could not be implemented."

"text": "64 Democrats Call on President Obama to Pardon DREAMers with DACADecember 7, 2016 Press Release Letter released at Capitol news conference asks President for “protection and stability for immigrants…especially at a time when fear and uncertainty in our communities is at an all-time high. ”Issues: Immigration Video and Photo Links Below Washington, DC – Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) was joined by more than a dozen of his House Democratic colleagues at a press conference this morning where a new letter to President Obama, signed by 64 Members of Congress, was released. The letter asks President Obama to “exercise your Constitutional authority to provide pardons to young people who are American in every way but on paper.” A presidential pardon for DREAMers with DACA, those brought to the United States as children who signed up for the President’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative, could make it harder for President Donald Trump to deport them and could open up for certain DREAMers a path to legal status under current law. Last month, in response to a similar plea from Rep. Gutiérrez and his two key pro-immigrant allies – Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) – the White House rejected the pardon idea by stating the President could not grant legal status and that pardons are primarily used for criminal violations, not civil violations of immigration law. But the three lawmakers, joined by scores of House colleagues, are pushing back, saying in the new letter: The Constitution specifically does not limit the pardon power to criminal offenses. We ask for the narrow reprieve of a retroactive and prospective pardon of categorical civil immigration violations for a unique group of young immigrants who have placed their trust in both you as their President and us as their lawmakers. To be clear we are not asking you to “create legal status. ”In his remarks at the press conference, Rep. Gutiérrez said: We fought our own President for the [DACA] initiative and we fought hard. We have a responsibility to stand with the DREAMers and we feel the President has a responsibility to stand with us and with the DREAMers."

Addressing reporters at the Department of Justice, Sessions, who made resistance to amnesty a focal point of his decades long political career, took the lead in announcing the fulfillment of one of President Donald Trump’s major campaign promises. A DOJ spokeswoman, however, made clear it was the president who had made the final decision. “I’m here today to announce that the program known as DACA that was effectuated by the Obama administration is being rescinded,” Sessions said. Later calling for an “orderly and lawful wind-down. ”Sessions quoted George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in support of his legal assessment of the DACA program: In ordering this blanket exception, President Obama was nullifying part of a law that he simply disagreed with … If a president can claim sweeping discretion to suspend key federal laws, the entire legislative process becomes little more than a pretense … The circumvention of the legislative process not only undermines the authority of this branch but destabilizes the tripartite system as a whole. Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will be rescinded by a memorandum from Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke, effective immediately. No current beneficiaries will lose their protected status for six months, but no new applications for DACA status will be taken after Tuesday. Those already under DACA who have already applied for their two-year renewals will have those requests processed. Those whose status expires in the sixth month grace period will still be able to apply for their two-year renewals until October 5, 2017."

Now that Congress may consider a blanket amnesty for DACA recipients, here’s what Americans who care about border security and public safety should know: Most of the DACA recipients are not “kids.” The average age of the DACA “kids” is approximately 20 years old, many are between 23 and 26 years old. Applications were accepted from anyone under the age of 31, as of June 15, 2012. Accordingly, most of the people who benefited from the DACA program were adults. People with a criminal record were allowed to apply for DACA. The DACA program was supposedly “safe” because it prohibited applications from people with criminal backgrounds. However, the DACA requirements only excluded people with a felony conviction, a conviction for a significant misdemeanor, or convictions for three or more non-significant misdemeanors. That means applicants who already had a criminal record, in addition to being illegal aliens, were granted temporary amnesty under the program."

They awaited the final word on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the 2012 immigration policy established by the Obama administration. They lined the sidewalk with colorful banners and fluorescent signs, chanting in Spanish and English. Someone carried a stereo speaker to amplify the voice of Jeff Sessions reading the Trump administration’s creed calling for the end of DACA. It comes as no surprise that our community continues to face racist declarations from the federal government -- from striking down DACA, to the building of new border walls in the Rio Grande Valley, and the pardoning of Sheriff Arpaio. On top of that is the looming threat from the Texas Legislature to impose the “show me your papers” law, or SB 4, that essentially morphs police into ICE agents. A federal judge temporarily blocked SB 4 from going into effect on Sept. 1, but Greg Abbott and co. fully intend to appeal the ruling. “ I am one of the over 800,000 DREAMers across the US who have been able to work, go to school, contribute to America and live fuller lives because of the program,” said Abraham Diaz, Education Specialist for La Union Del Pueblo Entero (LUPE).“Doing away with this program that has done so much to lift up our community and nation will not drag us back down.

Note: The 2017 version of this survey can be found here. In June, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program—which allows eligible unauthorized immigrants who entered the country at a young age to apply for temporary deferrals of deportations and work permits—marked its third anniversary. To date, roughly 665,000 people have received DACA. A number of early surveys illustrate that DACA has improved the lives of its recipients, and economic impactanalyses have found that wages rise as recipients gain work authorization, get jobs that better match their skills and training, and invest more in higher education. Following up on these studies, the National Immigration Law Center, or NILC, the Center for American Progress, and Tom K. Wong of the University of California, San Diego, conducted a national survey to analyze the economic and educational outcomes of DACA recipients. The survey is part of a broader ongoing study by Wong called the Administrative Relief Impact and Implementation Study. The results add to a growing body of research that illustrates how DACA significantly affects recipients. ( see Figure 1) A full 96 percent of respondents are currently employed or in school. Many are getting better, higher-paying jobs than they had before they received DACA."

President Trump’s plan to end legal protections for some young immigrants could thin the ranks of health care workers. Gareth Smit for The New York Times When the Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would end an Obama-era program that shielded young undocumented immigrants from deportation, Sherwin Sheik quickly sized up the potential toll on his business. Mr. Sheik is the chief executive and founder of Care Linx, which matches home care workers with patients and their families. The company relies heavily on authorized immigrant labor, making the looming demise of the program — which has transformed around700,000 people brought to this country as children into authorized workers — a decidedly unwelcome development. The move, Mr. Sheik said, would compound an already “disastrous situation in terms of shortages of supply.” He added, “This is a big issue we’re focusing on. ”Recalling the revolt among business executives that followed President Trump’s refusal to single out white supremacists for causing violence last month in Charlottesville, Va., leaders of companies in the finance, manufacturing and technology industries, including Microsoft and JPMorgan Chase, have been quick to oppose the decision to end the program, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. Those executives may have empathy for the beneficiaries of the program, known as Dreamers, as well as a broader interest in more liberal immigration policies to satisfy their labor needs."

"text": "\"DACA renewals begin, for some 30 day filing window has already started!By Jesse Lloyd of Bean + Lloyd LLP on Friday, June 6, 2014. Many initial grants of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, better known as \"\"DACA\"\", expire this year, and the renewal period has just begun, with the release of the renewal application form this week. As anticipated, applications should be filed within a 30 day window to keep their employment authorization current. The earliest DACA beneficiaries will need to act fast, as that thirty-day window has already started, and for others it is coming soon. First, it is important to understand not everyone has the same filing window, but rather it depends on the expiration of the current DACA grant. USCIS will only accept DACA renewal applications filed within 150 days of expiration of the current grant. Some people are therefore eligible to apply for DACA renewals right now, or will be eligible shortly. DACA grants are for two years, and USCIS began approving DACA applications and related work authorization in September, 2012, with expiration dates in September, 2014. It is especially important for those with DACA expirations in September, 2014 or shortly thereafter to be ready to file for renewals promptly. Even those with later expiration dates should be prepared to file for renewals shortly after they are eligible."

Below, Breitbart News has compiled a list of 50 of the 2,139 DACA recipients, deemed “DREAMers” by the open borders lobby, who have had their temporary protected status revoked due to crimes including: “A felony criminal conviction; a significant misdemeanor conviction; multiple misdemeanor convictions; gang affiliation; or arrest of any crime in which there is deemed to be a public safety concern,” according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency. The majority of crimes by DACA recipients include: “Alien smuggling, assaultive offenses, domestic violence, drug offenses, DUI, larceny and thefts, criminal trespass and burglary, sexual offenses with minors, other sex offenses and weapons offenses,” USCIS has stated.

Cook also said that he tried to get Trump to keep the U. S. in the Paris climate deal and pushed Trump to show more compassion for immigration issues, including DACA. \""

"text": "Home Immigration LUPE angered by Congressman Gonzalez’s government shutdown vote Immigration LUPE angered by Congressman Gonzalez’s government shutdown vote By Steve Taylor - January 20, 2018 1089 0EDINBURG, RGV – La Unión del Pueblo Entero, the community group that works to help immigrants and low-income families prosper in the Rio Grande Valley, staged a protest and news conference Friday outside the Edinburg office of Congressman Vicente Gonzalez. The group was angered by Gonzalez’s vote on a continuing resolution to keep the federal government open. The Republican-written CR did not contain any mention of protecting DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients. LUPE members pointed out that there are 7,000 DACA recipients in the Rio Grande Valley. DACA recipients are also known as DREAMers. “Every day there are 122 young immigrants who are losing their protection from DACA and who are then subject to arrest, detention, deportation, under the Trump administration. What we are seeing is DACA recipients going through the checkpoint being split up, scrutinized and some of them have had their DACA cancelled by Border Patrol,” said LUPE’s John-Michael Torres. John-Michael Torres“This is the Trump administration in Congressman Gonzalez’s district going after DREAMers. Instead of doing all in his powers to support DREAMers and getting the DREAM Act passed, he (Gonzalez) essentially voted to approve funds that, if they are approved by the Senate, would be used to go after those same DREAMers. ”The continuing resolution passed Thursday night by a vote of 230 Yeas to 197 Nays in the U. S. House of Representatives."

Updated Information about DACA can be found here. What Is DACA? Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a kind of administrative relief from deportation. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the United States when they were children from deportation. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation, and 2) a work permit. The program expires after two years, subject to renewal. What Are The Requirements For DACA?

"text": "\"The Supreme Court announced Tuesday it will hear a lawsuit from 26 states challenging President Barack Obama’s stalled 2014 executive action to allow as many as 5 million people living in the U. S. illegally to avoid deportation and receive work permits – but the court’s ruling may also spell doom for a 2012 policy already benefiting about 800,000 people brought to the U. S. illegally as children. The older and currently operational program, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), was announced by Obama after the DREAM Act failed in Congress and is not directly challenged in the states' lawsuit. But widened eligibility for DACA is contested alongside a challenge to the much larger Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) proposal, which would grant a reprieve to parents of people who are American citizens or lawful permanent residents. “I would be very nervous about DACA,” says Yale Law School professor Cristina Rodriguez, if the Supreme Court rules against the DACA extension and DAPA.“In the other lawsuits against DACA, the petitioners weren't the states, so if the court finds the states have standing, then DACA is in trouble if the states want to call it into question,” she says. U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services statistics show nearly 800,000 people have benefited from DACA through fiscal 2015. The program currently requires two-year renewals, nearly 500,000 of which have been granted. [ RELATED: Will Justices Hand Obama a Late-Game Reprieve? ] DACA requires people be younger than 16 when they arrived in the U. S., and that they came before mid-2007. The expansion would lift the current age cap for DACA, which also requires a high school education and a relatively clean criminal record. It’s unclear why states did not challenge DACA when it was announced."

"text": "Melanoma- Melanocytic Tumors Description – Lesions of the melanocytes and melanoblasts are relatively common skin tumors in the dog. They account for 5-7% of all canine skin tumors. Melanoblasts are neuroectodermal (embryonic ectoderm that gives rise to nervous tissue) in origin, and during fetal development they migrate to the skin and hair bulbs. Mature pigment producing cells are referred to as melanocytes. They are found in many parts of the body where there is a pigment like the hair, skin and eye. These cells are found between the basal keratinocytes (this is the major constituent of epidermis. It comprises 95% of the cells found there. Keratinocytes found in the stratum basale are sometimes called “basal cells” or “basal keratinocytes”) the epidermis and the hair bulb. Melanin produced by melanocytes, is stored within melanosomes and is transferred to keratinocytes by a process known as cytocrinia (the same process by which melanin is transferred, in a normal epidermis, from melanocytes to keratocytes). These malanosomes gather within the cytoplasm of keratinocytes and protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation."

But when it comes to supporting someone whose pet has a potentially life-threatening illness, such as cancer, there aren't too many primers out there to tell you what you should and should not do — or even say. So we rounded up our top dos and don'ts for helping a friend or family member through this tough time. Please Do Be There — and Mean It. For many pet owners, it's comforting just to know that there's someone whom they can call to assist them with administering medications, or someone who can spend an afternoon with them in the vet’s office. So if you're asked to help, do it. Take Time to Listen. Sometimes simply talking things through helps pet owners organize their priorities when it comes to decision-making. Go ahead and be that person who listens to the same story over and over again about the nice oncologist or the intricacies of chemotherapy protocol. Go to Google."

When the disease occurs, the immune system forms structures called antigen-antibody complexes which can lodge in the body's organs and cause additional symptoms. Lupus can develop at any point in a dog's life and has a variety of symptoms that can make it a difficult condition to diagnose. Two Forms of Lupus in Dogs The two main forms of canine lupus are discoid lupus and systemic lupus. Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE)According to Vet Street.com, the most common type of canine lupus is discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE). Fortunately, this is the less serious form of the disease and is not known to progress to the systemic form. Collies, Shetland sheepdogs, German shepherds, and huskies develop DLE more often than other breeds. It can occur at any age. Symptoms According to Wendy C. Brooks, DVM, DABVP, the symptoms of DLE are confined to the skin, and almost always involve the top of the nose, an area known as the nasal planum. The first signs that something is wrong may include hair loss or loss of pigment in that area."

"text": "Healthy Living Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes An all-too-common malady demystified By Shauna S. Roberts Ph D, November 2009The growing diabetes epidemic is not limited to people—diabetes mellitus is increasing among dogs as well. Researchers estimate that one in 200 dogs will develop the disease. Fortunately, treatment has made huge strides in recent years, and as a result, dogs with diabetes are living longer, healthier lives. The mechanism of diabetes is relatively simple to describe. Just as cars use gas for fuel, body cells run on a sugar called glucose. The body obtains glucose by breaking down carbohydrates in the diet. Cells then extract glucose from the blood with the help of insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas in specialized cells called beta cells. ( The pancreas, an organ situated behind the stomach, produces several hormones.) In diabetes mellitus, cells don’t take in enough glucose, which then builds up in the blood. As a result, cells starve and organs bathed in sugary blood are damaged."

Mark Neer, DVM, DACVIM, Professor and Hospital Director, Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University Robert Wylie, BVSc, QDA,Paralysis of a leg often results from damage to the peripheral spinal nerves. Paralysis of a front leg is usually associated with injury to the nerve roots in the neck or shoulder, injury to the network of nerves found deep in the armpit (brachial plexus), or injury to the radial, median, musculocutaneous, or ulnar nerve in the leg. Paralysis of a hind leg is usually associated with injury to the nerve roots in the lower back or tailbone, the network of nerves located between the spinal cord and the hind leg (lumbosacral plexus), or the femoral, sciatic, peroneal, or tibial nerve in the leg. Trauma is the most common cause of sudden limb paralysis. Paralysis of a leg may be temporary or permanent. The animal’s posture and gait, spinal reflexes, pain sensation, and the condition of the muscles in the affected limb are evaluated to identify the location of the injury. The closer a nerve injury is to the muscle, the better the outlook for recovery, so it is important to determine the exact location of the injury. The ability or inability of the animal to flex the joint and bear weight on the leg, and the presence or absence of pain sensation and reflexes at various places in the leg, depend on the site of the nerve damage. Within a few days, muscles wither and lose mass because of the lost nerve connection. Electrical stimulation of the nerve can be used to determine the location of the nerve injury and whether the nerve is partially intact."

Mark Neer, DVM, DACVIM, Professor and Hospital Director, Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Oklahoma State University Robert Wylie, BVSc, QDA,Facial paralysis in dogs may result from injuries caused by rough handling or other trauma, such as automobile accidents, inner ear infections, hypothyroidism, tumors, and unknown causes. Paralysis on one side of the face is common when the facial nerve is damaged. Facial paralysis on both sides of the face can be more difficult to recognize, but affected animals often drool and have a dull facial expression. In total facial paralysis, the animal cannot move its eyelids, ears, lips, or nostrils. In partial paralysis, the muscles of facial expression move less than normal. The signs of facial paralysis vary with the location and severity of the injury. One or both sides of the face can be affected. Usually, the signs include loss of motor function, including the inability to blink, a drooping ear, a drooping upper lip, and drooling from the corner of the mouth. When the animal eats or drinks, food and water may fall out of the mouth. The nose may seem to turn away from the side of the injury because muscle tone on the injured side is reduced."

"text": "Squamous Cell Carcinoma Description – Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma or actinic keratosis is a malignant tumor of epidermal cells in which cells show differentiation in keratinocytes (it is the major constituent of the epidermis, constituting 95% of the cells found there). It accounts for 5% of all cutaneous tumors found in dogs. These tumors generally grow slowly, but are aggressive in nature. They, however, do not metastasize to the regional lymph nodes. They are usually found in those areas within the epidermis where there is a dearth of pigmentation, hair or a very sparse hair coat. The peak incidence of squamous cell carcinoma in the dog is between 6 and 10 years of age. The breeds that are at an increased risk include Keeshond, Standard Schnauzer, Basset Hound, Collie. The Boxer is, however, believed to be at a decreased risk. Short, coated dogs that spend a long time outdoors, also have a higher incidence of squamous cell carcinoma. No sex predisposition has been found."

Osborne, DVM, Ph D, DACVIM, Eugene Nwaokorie, DVM, MSDVM360 MAGAZINE1 2 Next In the March issue of dvm360 (\"\"How specific is urine specific gravity? \"\"; see the related link below), we asked several questions about urine specific gravity, such as what does urine specific gravity measure? This month, we continue to investigate whether urine specific gravity is really specific. But first, let us review some of the major points we covered previously. The kidneys excrete unwanted solute (urea, creatinine, minerals and other metabolic garbage) in a volume of water that is not itself required to maintain homeostasis. Elimination of unwanted solutes and water is the result of carefully regulated glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Serum urea and serum creatinine are predominantly dependent on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and, therefore, are used to measure the GFR. So what does urine specific gravity measure? Urine specific gravity is used as a clinical index of tubular function."

The pituitary gland is located near the center and bottom of the brain. It produces a number of critical hormones that control many parts of the body, including several other endocrine glands. Because of this central role, it is sometimes called a “master gland.” Because large numbers of hormones are produced by the pituitary gland, a variety of different conditions can be caused by pituitary disease or tumors.

With all the problems we have with our own diets, is it any wonder we make mistakes when feeding our cats? So what errors are we making and why? Our cats can’t tell us, not with words. Sometimes we don’t know where we’ve gone wrong until our cat is sick. Not to worry.

"text": "Posts by: Dr. Celeste Clements, DVM, DACVIMCat Diseases & Conditions A-ZKidney stones form in cats for a few different reasons. The different causes ultimately predict which type of nephro (kidney) + lith (stone) is most likely to form. And the type of stone affects what treatments might help. Cats with small kidney stones really may have no signs at all. Kidney stones may show up on x-rays of the belly that are being taken for unrelated reasons, as a so called “incidental” finding. Since kidney stones in cats don’t seem painful, why should we worry about them? A kidney stone that allows normal urine flow out may be one that your vet watches closely, but ultimately leaves untreated. However, if the stone gets very large, or if little pieces break off and lodge in the ureter (the long narrow tube that connects each kidney to the urinary bladder), it likely becomes very painful. Kidney colic—signaled by abdominal pain, malaise and even vomiting —may result; the kidney may swell and be damaged. If this should happen simultaneously to each kidney, and the blockage persists, your kitty will likely become critically ill from the disrupted flow of urine."

Fenichel MD, in Clinical Pediatric Neurology (Sixth Edition), 2009Hypocalcemia and Hypomagnesemia Tetany caused by dietary deficiency of calcium is rare in modern times, except in newborns fed cows' milk. Hypocalcemic tetany is more likely to result from hypothyroidism or hyperventilation-induced alkalosis. The initial symptom of tetany is tingling around the mouth and in the hands and feet. With time, the tingling increases in intensity and becomes generalized. Spasms in the muscles of the face, hands, and feet follow. The hands assume a typical posture in which the fingers extend, the wrists flex, and the thumb abducts. Fasciculations and laryngeal spasm may be present. Percussion of the facial nerve, either just anterior to the ear or over the cheek, produces contraction of the muscles innervated by that branch of the nerve."

PROCEEDINGS1 2 3 Next Inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) diseases are a group of diseases that affect the brain, or brain and spinal cord, in the absence of an (apparent) infectious cause. These inflammatory CNS diseases affect dogs worldwide. The four most clinically relevant inflammatory CNS diseases of dogs are Granulomatous Meningoencephalomyelitis (GME), Necrotizing Meningoencephalitis (NME), Necrotizing Encephalitis (NE), and Steroid Responsive Meningitis-Arteritis (SRMA). In this lecture, we will discuss the most current clinical aspects of all four diseases, including the signalment, history, clinical signs, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and therapy. Most of the CNS inflammatory diseases are characterized by an acute onset with a progressive course; some are chronic progressive. Diffuse or multifocal involvement is characteristic of most of the diseases in this group, but localized signs also may occur. A minimum database may provide evidence of systemic disease, although most primary CNS inflammatory diseases usually do not produce a systemic response. Diagnosing CNS inflammatory disease is achieved by a combination of findings on history, signalment, and clinical findings, as well as advanced imaging and results of CSF analysis. While CSF analysis is useful for establishing the diagnosis of inflammatory disease, it often is not specific with regard to etiology. Advanced imaging also may be very useful in the diagnosis of inflammatory disease of the CNS, although a definitive diagnosis cannot be made on advanced imaging alone."

The dahlia comes in variety of colors, shapes and sizes, making it a favorite flower among landscapers and florists alike. The beauty of the dahlia flower inspired great symbolic meaning during the Victorian era and continues to be used today to express personal sentiments. Description Yellow dahlia flowers The dahlia flower is characterized by the rings its petals. There is great variation among the different species of dahlia in regards to the size, height, color, petal shape, and number of rows of petals. Some smaller dahlias grow 1 to 3 feet with flowers 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Larger dahlias grow up to 6 feet with flowers up to 12 inches in diameter. The dahlia's flowers can be white, yellow, orange, red, pink or purple and are either solid or patterned with different colored stripes or edges. The petals of different varieties of dahlias can be long or short, pointed or round, uniformly or irregularly spaced or curl at the edges.

"text": "\"Home »Flowers How to Divide Dahlias By Meg Butler; Updated September 21, 2017In warm climates, dahlia tubers will survive if they are left in the ground over the winter. However, even ground-wintered dahlia bulbs should be divided every three to four years. Each year that they grow, dahlia tubers multiply and produce more shoots. A dahlia tuber with too many shoots will suffer from weak stems and small flower size. By dividing your dahlias periodically, you not only strengthen the plant but increase your supply. If you don't need any more dahlias in your own flower garden, consider giving them away as gifts. Dig up your dahlias after the first fall frost. Once the foliage dies and blackens, cut the stalk down to 6 inches above the ground. Then leave the dahlia tubers in the ground for another week before digging them up. This will allow the bulbs time to develop eyes, which will help you determine where to cut the tubers."

One way to do this is to visit a nursery and check out plants in pots. I don’t recommend planting them from pots in the fall… they just aren’t a good value for the time they will bloom before frost."

Long straight rows look impressive and are easily managed and accessed for cutting blooms. Large dahlias can be situated as to provide background color for other landscape plants. Small dahlias can be intermixed with other plants or used as borders. If you want to cut lots of blooms you should plan for easy access to all sides of the plants. SELECTING YOUR SITE Dahlias will grow in nearly any soil as long as you have 12”-14” of tillable depth. If your soil is shallow or rocky, build raised beds to increase the rooting depth. Poor drainage will encourage rotting that can affect overwintering and quality of tubers that are produced. If your soil shows signs of standing water or is constantly wet consider modifying the drainage or build raised beds."

Thick-stemmed flowers are excellent in floral arrangements, as they are sturdy and often have large blooms. Because they tend to be fleshy and less woody than many cuttings, their stems easily take in water, and they remain fresh for a long time. Calla Lily Calla lillies are summer bulbs of the genus Zantedeschia. These herbaceous plants are native to Africa. Their waxy, cupped flowers come in pink, white, purple, yellow, pink and nearly black. Their thick stems can reach up to 30 inches. Lisianthus Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) is an herbaceous annual or short-lived perennial. The \"\"Twinkle\"\" series is a deep blue single flower and \"\"Cinderella\"\" is a double flower; both grow atop long, thick stems.

In the fall, plant hardy bulbs such as: Tulips Irises Daffodils Hyacinths Crocuses Hardy bulbs can survive winter in the ground and need the cold of winter to perform at their best. They typically flower in the spring. In colder climates, plant hardy bulbs as soon as possible after purchase. In milder areas, plant in late October or early November after the soil cools — if you need to store them before planting, keep them in a cool location.

"text": "The ‘Meaning’ of Fifteen Flower Mandalas Posted by David J. Bookbinder Fifteen Flower Mandalas I’d like to take this space to thank those of you who have downloaded my free Fifteen Flower Mandalas screensaver, and particularly those who have written back. The responses so far have been interesting. Until now, I didn’t know that people from all parts of the world — from the tip of Alaska to Cape Town and beyond — were checking into this blog. That, alone, is gratifying. And I’m grateful to those of you who shared your positive responses to my work, and to those, as well, who have shared their similar struggles with life, death, near-death, and everything in between. It has been, and continues to be, a heart-warming bounty. Thank you. Several of you have asked me to send you, along with the screensaver, the “meaning” of each mandala. There’s no simple answer to this question. I can list the flowers from which they were derived, and some feelings and thoughts that occur to me when I look at them, but I believe each viewer, if he or she meditates on a particular image, will come away from it with a different sense, one specific to that person in that moment."

"text": "\"How To Grow Dahlias With A Brief Introduction To Their Origin Dahlias have an interesting history. The first tubers arrived in Europe at the end of the 18th century, sent over to Madrid by the Spanish settlers in Mexico. Andreas Dahl (after who the plant is named) regarded it as a vegetable rather than a garden flower, but interest switched from the edible tubers to the blooms when the first varieties with large, double flowers were bred in Belgium in 1815. Within a few years nearly every colour we now admire had been introduced and Victorian catalogues listed hundreds of varieties. The favourites in those days were the Ball and Small Decorative Dahlias. Today it is the Large Decorative and Cactus varieties which capture the public fancy. Fashions change but the popularity of this late summer flower continues to increase. The reasons for this devotion to the Dahlia are fairly obvious. First of all the skill of the breeders in America, Australia, Germany, Holland, and England has produced a range of sizes and colours unmatched in the world of garden flowers. Plants ranging from dwarf bedding (twelve inches high) to giants taller than a man."

Dahlia flowers win gardener’s heart with its ease of growth and massive blooms. This is one of the most popular flowering plant of summer. Symbolizing hope for an everlasting union between two people, dahlia flowers are presented to couples at engagement parties and weddings. In Purple Lavender Color Dahlia in Red Dahlia Varieties Revered for its beauty, the stunning dahlia flower comes in diverse shapes, sizes and colors. The dahlia blooms for extended periods of time, surpassing most other garden flowers, and many gardening enthusiasts refer to it as the \"\"Queen of the Autumn Garden. \"\" White Imperial Dahlia Dahlias, like many of varieties of flower, were imbued with different meanings. Dahlia blossoms represent contradictory virtues. The flower's negative connotations of betrayal, instability and dishonesty conflict greatly with Victorian-era ones of dignity, elegance and forever thine, which are still relevant meanings of today.

Scott, donned red wig and white tights to double Maureen O’Hara, and taught Goldie Hawn how to talk like a Texan. He’s dangled from a helicopter over the skyscrapers of Manhattan while clutching a damsel in distress, hung upside down from a fake blimp 200 feet over the Orange Bowl, and replicated one of the most famous scenes in movie history by climbing on a thundering team of horses to stop a runaway stagecoach. Cowboy Stuntman chronicles the life and achievements of this colorful Texan and Olympic gold medal winner who spent a half century as a Hollywood stuntman and actor, appearing in ten John Wayne movies and doubling for a long list of actors as diverse as Robert Culp, Michael Landon, Steve Martin, Strother Martin, Robert Redford, and Roy Rogers. Review The life story of Dean Smith reads like a Mark Twain novel; a wishful, determined, small-town boy grows up and makes good. Along the way he sets college records, wins an Olympic gold medal, plays professional football, and then accomplishes his greatest ambition of all: he becomes a motion picture and television stuntman. . . . Dean’s story is one of incredible achievement and tells us that indeed dreams can come true. --James Garner Dean ran so fast you couldn’t photograph him. We had to slow him down just to get the shot. His book takes me back to the glory days of living and making westerns in Hollywood."

"text": "\"Criminal law: Treating a child as an adult Print Reference this Published: 23rd March, 2015 Last Edited: 27th April, 2017Disclaimer: This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. A 15 year old commits a crime, depending on the seriousness of the crime, that child should be treated as an adult. Children in the past have been given many but not all of the due process protection that is recognized in adult criminal courts, so why can't children be treated as adults if they get certain advantages that adults get. Juvenile courts have many of the same rights as adults such as the right to a hearing. Juvenile offenders are typically treated as a special group. The courts soon realized that children could commit serious offenses therefore the juvenile courts created a procedure to transfer the case to the adult criminal courts. Nearly all states have provisions where if a juvenile who commits a serious felony can be prosecuted as an adult. This provision is called “concurrent jurisdiction” where the prosecutor can decide if the case will be moved to the adult courts. \"\""

Once the gold rush started, the city was founded in 1876 at the mouth of Spearfish Canyon, and was originally called Queen City. [ 8] Spearfish grew as a supplier of foodstuffs to the mining camps in the hills. Even today, a significant amount of truck farming and market gardening still occurs in the vicinity. In 1887, the accepted history of gold mining in the Black Hills was thrown into question by the discovery of what has become known as the Thoen Stone. [ 9] Discovered by Louis Thoen on the slopes of Lookout Mountain, the stone purports to be the last testament of Ezra Kind who, along with six others, entered the Black Hills in 1833 (at a time when whites were forbidden by law and treaty from entering the area), \"\"got all the gold we could carry\"\" in June 1834, and were subsequently \"\"killed by Indians beyond the high hill.\"\" While it may seem unlikely that someone who has \"\"lost my gun and nothing to eat and Indians hunting me\"\" would take the time to carve his story in sandstone, there is corroborating historical evidence for the Ezra Kind party. [ 10]In the 20th century, the history of Spearfish was tied very closely to mining and tourism."

Dina Rudick/Globe staff The son of an MBTA bus driver from Jamaica Plain, Harvard sophomore Ted White helps lead the First Generation Student Union, pushing for a better understanding of challenges financially disadvantaged students face. By Brooke Lea Foster April 09, 2015WHEN ANA BARROS first stepped into Harvard Yard as a freshman, she felt so out of place she might as well have had the words “low income” written on her forehead. A girl from Newark doesn’t belong in a place like Harvard, she thought, as she marveled at how green the elms were, how quaint the cobblestone streets. Back home, where her family lives in a modest house bought from Habitat for Humanity, there wasn’t always money for groceries, and the world seemed gray, sirens blaring at all hours. Her parents, who immigrated to the New York area from Colombia before she was born, spoke Spanish at home. It was at school that Barros learned English. A petite 5-foot-2 with high cheekbones and a head of model-worthy hair, Barros found out in an e-mail that she’d been accepted to Harvard — a full scholarship would give her the means to attend. “ I knew at that moment that I’d never suffer in the way that my parents did,” she says."

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

The Rangers severed their relationship with Ameriquest on March 19, 2007, and announced the park would be renamed Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

After a half-decade run - from 1987's Appetite for Destruction to 1993's cover collection The Spaghetti Incident? - the Los Angeles band married metal-edged energy with Stonesy swagger and, before they were swallowed up by their own excesses, were one of the most popular bands in the world. Since then, not much. The 2008 album Chinese Democracy is underrated in retrospect, but it was rejected at the time by fans who correctly considered it to be the work of Axl Rose and a bunch of guys, rather than the genuine GN'R article. In 2012, when Rose was asked whether the band's key players would ever make amends and get back together, he curtly replied: \"\"Not in this lifetime. \"\" But \"\" never \"\" never means \"\" never \"\" in the rock-and-roll reunion business."

In addition, the USBC tournament bowling-focused center includes a 350 seated squad room equipped with a team photo booth area, stub lane, ball check station and bracket room. For the first time in history, Brunswick, Daktronics and USBC partnered to create two 167-foot state-of-the-art digital displays with static and animated advertising capabilities, spanning across the two 30-lane competition floors. During the design process, each lane was built on free-floating slabs to ensure the facility is equipped with soundproof barriers. Each pair of lanes has two score boards for ultimate display throughout the concourse area. The width of the flooring between the ball return and lane spans a larger length than usual tournament facilities to offer bowlers with the maximum angle of attacks."

The logo is based on the unique seating arrangement. The exterior cladding was composed of Cor-Ten weathering steel, which is covered in rust; the idea was that the steel would continue to rust to the point where the rusted exterior would form a protective seal, making a solid steel structure that would last for decades. The Omni was noted for its distinctive space frame roof, often joked about as looking like an egg crate or a rusty waffle iron. Designed by the firm of tvsdesign with structural engineering work by the firm of Prybylowski and Gravino, the roof was technically described as an ortho-quad truss system."

"text": "\"Wexall pages articles español Inbox Project search FAQSecurities Exchange Act of 1934Originally prepared by Deepa Sarkar of the Cornell Law School Securities Law Clinic. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)In contrast to the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act primarily regulates transactions of securities in the secondary market - that is, sales that take place after a security is initially offered by a company (the issuer). These transactions often take place between parties other than the issuer, such as trades that retail investors execute through brokerage firms. The Exchange Act operates somewhat differently from the Securities Act. To protect investors, Congress crafted a mandatory disclosure process that is designed to force companies to make public information that investors would find pertinent to making investment decision. In addition, the Exchange Act provides for direct regulation of the markets on which securities are sold (the securities (stock) exchanges) and the participants in those markets (industry associations, brokers, and issuers). In a major step by Congress, Section 4 of the Exchange Act (codified in 15 U. S. C. § 78d ) established the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a federal agency responsible for regulating the securities markets. Congress initially granted the SEC power to enforce the Exchange Act, but the SEC's enforcement powers have grown to include the Securities Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and other legislation. One important function of the SEC is to ensure that companies meet the Exchange Act's disclosure requirements. Companies must file their periodic filings with the SEC, and the regulatory agency makes this information available to all investors through EDGAR, its online filing system."

Every year their quality increases and their designs get progressively cooler. This has led to a huge number of models! If I said Schecter Diamond Series, Blackjack ATX, or Hellraiser Hybrid, would you know what any of those mean? The Schecter Diamond Series refers to their non-US Custom shop guitars with nice appointments, and is divided into the groups we’re discussing below (like the Hellraiser Hybrid!). Again, there are so many models to choose from it may be overwhelming for those new to the brand to decide where to start!The Schecter Diamond series is huge, and we’ve put together a super in-depth guide for you to get to know Schecter guitars, and which one might be for you!Banshee Elite The Banshee Elite line is the successor to the Banshee from a couple of years ago. When the Banshee first came out it was an instant hit, featuring high quality hardware, a bolt on neck, and the Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient set. The new Banshee Elite series has an awesome “boutique” vibe, which is strongly in line with Schecter’s recent mantra. With custom Schecter USA Supercharger pickups and a 9 piece maple/walnut thru-neck, these guitars look like they should cost way more than they should. They’re available in a natural gloss or a beautiful Cat’s Eye Pearl dye."

Photograph: PRThe first trailer for Damien Chazelle’s follow-up to Whiplash, La La Land, a musical starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, has hit the web – meaning we now have the first footage of this hotly anticipated project before its world premiere at the Venice film festival. La La Land - Teaser \"\"City Of Stars\"\" - In Cinemas Now 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 / 1:28Soundtracked by Gosling crooning an original song, City of Stars, La La Land reveals itself as self-conscious homage to the traditional Hollywood musical and the city of Los Angeles itself – both referenced in the title. According to the Wrap back in 2014, the film “follows a pair of dreamers – aspiring actress Mia, who’s lonely and desperate to fit in, and cocky, charismatic jazz pianist Sebastian – who fall in love in Los Angeles”. Miles Teller (star of Whiplash) and Emma Watson were first mooted, but Gosling and Stone have ended up with the roles. The trailer immediately recalls the high water marks of the homage-to-musicals genre: Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You, Francis Ford Coppola’s One from the Heart and Martin Scorsese’s New York, New York, with its contemporary setting and explicitly artificial sets. La La Land also appears to thread in some of the more sinister elements of LA noir reminiscent of Mulholland Drive and LA Confidential. La La Land is due for general release on 2 December in the US and 13 January in the UK.

Once-homogeneous towns and cities from Texas to Minnesota are now heavily influenced by the world; by immigrants with different customs, languages and ideas. There is no doubt that this is changing the United States. But how? All along our route, I’ve been asking people: What does it mean to be American? What does that word, and this country, mean to you?

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.’\"\" It's a great quotation but according to the Damien Zone, it is a hoax, \"\"This quote, printed over a photograph of the Dalai Lama, is floating around on Facebook. It is inspiring millions of simple-minded Facebookers — but there’s a problem. HE NEVER SAID IT! There is no record of the Dalai Lama ever saying this and on his website there is no mention of it. Devout followers of the Dalai Lama say it is not true, but we live in the day where all one needs to do is put something up on Facebook and it becomes the law of the land — at least where idiots are concerned.\"\""

NET team and I have been bouncing ideas about on how to solve an annoyance using LINQ: If you write properties on the client you can’t use them in remote LINQ operations. The problem occurs because these properties can’t be translated and sent to the server as they have been compiled into intermediate language (IL) and not LINQ expression trees that are required for translation by IQueryable implementations. There is nothing available in . NET to let us reverse-engineer the IL back into the methods and syntax that would allow us to translate the intended operation into a remote query. This means you end up having to write your query in two parts; firstly the part the server can do, a To List or As Enumerable call to force that to happen and bring the intermediate results down to the client, and then the operations that can only be evaluated locally. This can hurt performance if you want to reduce or transform the result set significantly. What we came up (David, Colin Meek and myself) is a provider-independent way of declaring properties just once so they can be used in both scenarios. Computed properties for LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Entities and anything else LINQ enabled with little effort and it works great on ."

Damien Dahrk has made his point, in brutal fashion. Speaking 1-on-1 with TVLine, Arrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim says that the eventual decision of who to put in the flash-forward mystery grave was born out of a desire to “move the show forward” in a way that impacts as many characters as possible. RELATED Arrow ‘s Katie Cassidy Hails ‘Shock Value’ of [Spoiler]’s Death, Says Emotional Goodbye Scene Was ‘So Real’So, as Team Arrow set out to thwart Damien Darhk’s Malcolm Merlyn-assisted prison break, it was Laurel Lance aka Black Canary — played by original cast member Katie Cassidy — who found herself on the business end of an arrow, with Darhk twisting it into her gut for good measure. Later, at the hospital, the would-be DA succumbed to her wound, though not before bidding Oliver and others an emotional farewell. TVLine spoke with Guggenheim about the decision process that led to Laurel’s tragic demise, having that “hard conversation” with original cast member Cassidy, and which team members will be particularly affected by the loss. Plus: Who’s the new girl in town? TVLINE | Eighty-seven episodes and out for Miss Katie Cassidy. This was a big one, man. I even got verklempt talking about it to someone the other day."

Photograph: Allstar/Cinetext/Orion Some years ago, I stumbled on a battered copy of The Silence of the Lambs in a train carriage. It was during one of those lonely chunks of life when reading takes on a new importance, and I found a quite unexpected friend in that rather dark and worrisome tale. The anonymous former owner had doodled on and annotated the book before inexplicably abandoning it to its fate on public transport. Amusing, insightful and often veering wildly from the actual text, this commentary entirely changed my reading of Thomas Harris's story of a serial murderer and obsessive police procedure. My anonymous guide was a university student, most likely a young woman, studying the book from a feminist perspective. Harris's novel is a superior police procedural, but still guilty of that genre's casual sexism, picked apart by my guide with glee."

Do each of us have a personal tolerance or intolerance of carbohydrates? Does this also vary by source of carbohydrate? Learn how evolutionary tools may explain appetite regulation and carbohydrate metabolism and offer ways to regain carb tolerance through diet and lifestyle modifications. In this episode, we explore how carbohydrate intolerance works. We look at the evolutionary template (basically the Paleo template), neuroregulation of appetite, carbohydrate tolerance, insulin resistance and sensitivity, and the factors that drive all of these.“ Once the person is insulin resistant, particularly when they are heading down this road towards prediabetes and potentially diabetes, there is without a doubt one intervention that seems to work remarkably well. That’s reducing carbohydrate level to a point where it’s no longer toxic to the individual.” – Robb Wolf Robb Wolf ( @Robb Wolf) is basically the man responsible for bringing Paleo to the mainstream, in part via his New York Times Bestseller, The Paleo Solution. He also has a new book out, Wired to Eat, which covers many of the topics discussed in this episode."

"text": "How to Move Offline Music in Spotify for Android to SD Card Damien 7th Dec 2015 Android 30 Comments Share Tweet Email If you are a premium subscriber of the popular Spotify music streaming service, you know that one of its premium benefits is being able to download your playlists and play them offline on your phone. The bad thing, though, is that it can eat up your phone’s storage space rearly fast if you have a big playlist. If, for some reason, Spotify saved the cache (offline music) to your (Android) phone’s internal storage and you are looking to move them to an external SD card (that is, if your phone supports an external SD card), here is how you can move offline music to external SD card in Spotify. Note: For Spotify to save music to an external SD card, the only requirement is that the remaining storage space in the SD card must be more than the phone’s internal storage. For example, if your SD card only has 4GB of space left and your phone’s internal storage has 5GB, Spotify will still save the offline music to your phone’s internal storage.1. First, you have to clear all cache and offline music from your phone’s internal storage. To do that, open the Spotify app on your Android phone and go to its Settings page. ( Tap on the cog icon at the bottom of the page).2. Scroll all the way down to the end. You should see the option “Delete cache and saved data.”"

"text": "Dandelion Overview While many people think of the dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale) as a pesky weed, it is chock full of vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals, such as iron, potassium, and zinc. Dandelion leaves are used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and teas. The roots are used in some coffee substitutes, and the flowers are used to make wines. In the past, dandelion roots and leaves were used to treat liver problems. Native Americans also boiled dandelion in water and took it to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and upset stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), dandelion has been used to treat stomach problems, appendicitis, and breast problems, such as inflammation or lack of milk flow. In Europe, dandelion was used in remedies for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes, and diarrhea. So far, there have not been any quality scientific studies on dandelion. Today, the roots are mainly used to stimulate the appetite, and for liver and gallbladder problems. Dandelion leaves are used as a diuretic to help the body get rid of too much fluid."

"text": "Robert Bishop Frederick County Master Gardener Program Lawn weeds are divided into two major groups, grassy weeds (e.g. crabgrass) and broadleaf weeds (e.g. dandelion). Chemical control methods differ and were developed for each specific group. The best approach to weed control is keeping the lawn thick and healthy through proper fertilization and watering techniques. The thinned-out areas of poorly fertilized or drought-stressed lawns can leave open areas for weeds to gain a foothold, and eventually take over. It is too late in the season to control grassy weeds like crabgrass, but if dandelions and other broadleaf weeds are taking over your lawn now is the time to do something about it. Most broadleaf weeds are easily identified by wide leaf blades as compared to the much narrower leaves of the turfgrass. Wild garlic & wild onion are two exceptions to the rule, both are considered broadleaf weeds even though they have narrow leaves. Some other examples of broadleaf weeds are: Dandelion, Clover, Chickweed, Thistle, Spurge, and wild violet. Timing- Broadleaf weed control strategy calls for herbicides to be applied after the weeds are visible and actively growing, this is referred to as post-emergent control. Adequate soil moisture prior to herbicide application is vital for good control because weeds that are drought stressed will not absorb herbicides easily."

If sucked excessively by children, the milky juice can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, as well as excessive urination. Description There are considered to be about 600 species of dandelion found throughout the world where, in many cases, it is considered a noxious weed. One seed from a dandelion blown by the wind can start 200 or more new plants. It is also cultivated in many parts, including France and Germany. The plant is closely related to chicory, a perennial growing to as much as twenty inches high producing ragged, saw-toothed leaves, hollow stalks, and golden flowers that quickly go to seed, leaving a “puffball” head that is dispersed in the breeze. The young leaves are picked in the spring for tonic salads and later for use as a medicine, while the roots are unearthed in autumn from two-year-old plants. History Dandelion was recommended in the works of Arab physicians in the 11th century and in an herbal written by the physicians of Myddfai in Wales in the 13th century. Its name was apparently invented by a 15th century surgeon who compared the shape of the leaves to a lion’s tooth. Dandelion was not mentioned in Chinese herbals until the 7th century CE, nor did it appear in Europe until 1485."

In order to maintain his health, your iguana should primarily be fed a diet of dark, leafy greens such as Swiss chard, endive and collard greens.

In fact, experts at the Green Iguana Society consider it a staple in your iguana's diet. You may feed alfalfa tablets or powder, made for human consumption, to your iguana. Alfalfa greens are found in grocery stores or in the wild where they can be foraged for free. You can also grow alfalfa yourself since it tolerates a wide range of environmental conditions.

It can sometimes act as a perennial during years when the winter is mild. Black medic leaves have three leaflets with the center leaflet extended on a short stalk. Stems may spread one or two feet from the original growing point but do not root at nodes. Black medic has small, compact, yellow flowers that form in leaf axils. Prostrate knotweed ( Polygonum aviculare )Prostrate knotweed is a low-growing summer annual that is well adapted to compacted, highly trafficked areas such as along sidewalks, in athletic fields, and in golf course cart paths. The leaves are alternately arranged on stems, small (½ to 1 inch long by ¼ to ½ inch wide), and blue green, and have margins that are not serrated or lobed. Each leaf is elliptical, tapering to a rounded tip. Stems grow prostrate but do not root at nodes. One distinct feature of knotweed is the papery sheath at the base of each leaf."

While many individuals consider the dandelion to be an unwanted weed, herbalists all over the world have revered this valuable herb. Its common name, dandelion, is a corruption of the French for \"\"tooth of the lion\"\" (dent-de-lion). This name describes the herb's leaves, which have several large, pointed teeth. Its scientific name, Taraxacum, is from the Greek taraxos (disorder) and akos (remedy). This alludes to dandelion's ability to correct a multitude of disorders. A hardy perennial, which grows in all temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere, dandelion reaches 3 to 35 cm in height. It is easily recognized by its deeply toothed, hairless leaves, measuring 5 to 30 cm in length and 1 to 10 cm in width, which form a rosette at ground level, and the single golden yellow flower that emerges from the rosette's center on a straight, purplish, leafless, hollow stem. The flower, which is actually a collection of tiny florets, appears from early spring until late autumn. When the florets mature, they produce downy seeds that are easily dispersed by the wind, giving rise to dandelion's aliases of \"\"puffball\"\" and \"\"blowball. \"\""

Your pancreas has two basic functions: make insulin for controlling blood sugar levels, and make enzymes for the digestion of fat and protein. Your pancreas sits behind, and just below, your stomach. It has what is thought of as a head, a body, and a tail. Each part has its own job when it comes to producing specialized chemicals and enzymes. It also produces hormones and vital enzymes which are important to the digestion of food after it leaves your stomach. The fluid that your pancreas produces is alkaline in its makeup so it neutralizes the acids that come from the stomach, creating the perfect environment for digestive enzymes to do their work.

H. Wigg. Plant Family: Asteraceae Overview Dandelion is a sunny, subtle, yet incredible plant that has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is mentioned in traditional Arabian medicine in the tenth century. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine practices all over the world as a restorative tonic, edible food, and in herbal beers and wines. Botany Dandelion bears a sun-yellow flower head (which is actually composed of hundreds of tiny flowers) typical of the Asteraceae family, that closes in the evening or during cloudy weather and opens back up in the morning, much like its cousin calendula. When the flower is closed, to some, it looks like a pig's nose, hence one of its names, 'swine's snout.' It is a perennial herb with deeply cut leaves that form a basal rosette, somewhat similar to another family member, the wild lettuce, and has a thick tap root which is dark brown on the outside and white on the inside. It is native to most of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, naturalized all over the world, and commonly found growing alongside roads and in lawns as a common weed. Cultivation And Harvesting Dandelion is produced commercially in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the former Yugoslavia, and the United Kingdom. However, dandelion grows practically everywhere, and is wild collected in a variety of climates, even in the Himalayas up to about 12,000 feet, where it is often gathered for use in Ayurvedic medicine (the traditional healing system of India). Dandelion will grow anywhere, but will produce more substantial roots in moist, rich, deep soil."

Harvest dandelion roots from late fall through early spring, when the plant is dormant and has stored up energy in the root. For medicinal use, most sources say fall harvest is best. This is because the levels of inulin (insoluble fiber) are higher and the fructose levels are lower. The freezing of winter converts the inulin to fructose, which makes spring roots more palatable for eating. Spring roots are less bitter and chewy – just make sure you dig them before the plants start to blossom. Spring roots are also higher in taraxacin, which stimulates bile production. What's the Best Way to Harvest Dandelion Roots? To dig roots, use a dandelion digger or a sturdy fork. You want to break/damage the root as little as possible so you don't lose much sap, which is where the medicinal properties lie."

"text": "Tweet C an you still remember the dandelions in your lawn last May? Did you spray them, dig them, or just wish they weren’t there? You have probably thought dandelions and other lawn weeds are plants you could get along nicely without. Of all the lawn weeds with which we have to contend, dandelions and plantain are the most widely found and abundant. Most home owners become concerned with getting rid of dandelions when the pesky little yellow flowers show up in profusion in lawns during spring. More people try to control them in spring than at any other time of the year. Actually, waiting until spring to undertake dandelion control measures, is where many people make their first mistake. In the spring, other garden and yard work is pressing. Everyone is in a hurry. They spray rapidly and take unnecessary chances of fumes and spray drift."

"text": "Herbs for PMSWomen have known for thousands of years that physical and emotional symptoms related to their menstrual cycle occur. They recognize that the mood swings, depression, sweet cravings, bloating, headaches, and other cyclic symptoms definitely have something to do with hormonal changes that occur during the cycle. Until 20 years ago, before many women went through medical school and became doctors, it was mostly men who determined what sets of symptoms could be given a name, an official diagnosis, which was recognized by modern medicine and reimbursed by insurance companies. Because men don’t experience menstrual cycles and are not familiar with unpleasant symptoms that can accompany them, they tended to overlook menstrual difficulties like premenstrual syndrome (PMS) as a medically-defined syndrome. Today, this is changing to the extent that PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, is a medically-accepted ailment. Of course, the menstrual cycle itself is not always problematic for women, even though it is sometimes referred to as ‘the curse.’ At times the process of the lining of the uterus building up with blood and nutrients for the nurturing of new life (and its shedding if conception doesn’t occur) can go very smoothly. Given the complex nature of the hormonal changes that occur during the monthly cycle, it is no wonder that stress, diet, emotional ups and downs, and other factors can cause a disturbance with its inner workings. PMS or premenstrual syndrome is now a medically-defined syndrome where symptoms come and go in relation to the monthly menstrual cycle. Of course even if a woman doesn’t have PMS in the medical sense, she may well experience some discomfort occasionally."

"text": "Natural Herbs to Rid the Body of Water Retentionby AMY MYSZKO Aug. 14, 2017Diuretics can stimulate the kidneys to flush water, thus helping to reduce water retention and edema. A number of natural herbs can act as diuretics in the body. While herbs are a time-honored way to support the health of the body, be sure to talk with your health care practitioner about the use of herbal diuretics, particularly if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, taking pharmaceuticals or have any serious health concerns. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Stinging Nettle to Stimulate Urination Stinging nettle -- known scientifically as Urtica dioica -- is a nutritionally dense herb with an astringent, drying and potentially diuretic action in the body. Master herbalist and naturopathic doctor Michael Tierra recommends a cool tea of nettle leaf as a diuretic to cleanse the urinary tract and counteract water retention and inflammation. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, nettle has been used since the Medieval period as a diuretic to rid the body of excess water, along with treating painful joints, although no scientific research has been conducted on nettle as a diuretic to date. Dandelion; the Premier Herbal Diuretic According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, dandelion was used by Native Americans to treat swelling, and the leaves are used today as a diuretic to treat edema. Dandelion has traditionally been used in conditions where a diuretic may help, including high blood pressure and liver and kidney disorders. According to research published in the August 2009 “Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine,” an extract of dandelion was shown to increase urinary output in human subjects, suggesting that its use in traditional and folk medicine as a remedy for edema has basis in scientific fact. Scientists state that more long-term research is needed to establish dandelion as an appropriate alternative to pharmaceutical diuretics."

The main difference between head lice eggs and dandruff is that lice eggs are glued to the hair shaft; they are firmly attached to the hair, and are not easily removed. On the contrary, dandruff is not attached to the hair and can be easily brushed off. Dandruff is a common form of skin eczema, also called Seborrheic dermatitis.

Dandruff is normally characterized by flaking and intense itching, which can cause you a lot of embarrassment. Though it is not a serious problem, people spend a lot of time and money trying to get rid of it. Some people experience low confidence and lack of self-esteem because they have dandruff and this has a considerable impact on their social life. The good news is that you can control dandruff at home, with the help of an effective hair care routine as well as simple remedies. The treatment can sometimes be difficult and time consuming. In rare instances you may need to consult a doctor, who will probably prescribe a medicated shampoo to get rid of dandruff.

In fact this is not the case, the truth is: Lice are the tiny grey or brown insects that are found in the hair. The lice are about the size of a small seed (i.e. Sesame seed) and cling to the hair staying close to the scalp which they live off. These lice lay eggs which take from 7 to 10 days to hatch and each new hatchling takes around 10 days to fully grow to an adult. Nits are the empty shells left after lice have hatched.

Dandruff is a chronic and most common scalp condition presented in the form of white flakes which appear on the scalp. These flakes from the superficial skin layer made of dead skin cells result in itching. Vigorous scratching ultimately leads to hair fall. Some studies dedicated to find the link between dandruff and hair loss suggest that dandruff doesn’t cause hair loss directly; rather constant and aggressive scratching is the actual culprit behind it.

May 12, 2014 / by Fresh Heads If you get a notice from your child’s school about head lice, or one of your children’s friends has a case of head lice, many people don’t always know exactly what to look for when checking their child’s head for lice. For example, how do lice eggs differ from dandruff? What is the difference between lice, lice eggs (or nits), and dandruff? Fresh Heads Lice Removal of Jacksonville knows that if you are looking at your child’s head, you might see some white flecks in your child’s hair. They are often very small, so how do you know what you are looking at? How can you tell the difference between whether they are lice eggs (nits), dandruff, live lice insects, or just hair debris? First, let’s start with head lice. A single louse insect is small and tan to grayish-white to brown, depending on its age. An adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed, and has six legs that allows it to move very quickly in a head of hair."

Credit: Bloodhound SSCAerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air, aerodynamics is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies. Engineers apply the principles of aerodynamics to the designs of many different things, including buildings, bridges and even soccer balls; however, of primary concern is the aerodynamics of aircraft and automobiles. Aerodynamics comes into play in the study of flight and the science of building and operating an aircraft, which is called aeronautics. Aeronautical engineers use the fundamentals of aerodynamics to design aircraft that fly through the Earth's atmosphere. Aerodynamic drag The most significant aerodynamic force that applies to nearly everything that moves through the air is drag. Drag is the force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air, according to NASA. Drag is generated in the direction the air is moving when it encounters a solid object."

First derived (1738) by the Swiss mathematician Daniel Bernoulli, the theorem states, in effect, that the total mechanical energy of the flowing fluid, comprising the energy associated with fluid pressure, the gravitational potential energy of elevation, and the kinetic energy of fluid motion, remains constant. Bernoulli’s theorem is the principle of energy conservation for ideal fluids in steady, or streamline, flow and is the basis for many engineering applications. Bernoulli’s theorem implies, therefore, that if the fluid flows horizontally so that no change in gravitational potential energy occurs, then a decrease in fluid pressure is associated with an increase in fluid velocity. If the fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-sectional area, for example, the fluid speeds up in constricted areas so that the pressure the fluid exerts is least where the cross section is smallest. This phenomenon is sometimes called the Venturi effect, after the Italian scientist G. B. Venturi (1746–1822), who first noted the effects of constricted channels on fluid flow.

After receiving preliminary instructions in mathematics from his father, he was sent to the University of Basel, where geometry soon became his favorite study. His mathematical genius gained for him a high place in the esteem of Jean Bernoulli, who was at that time one of the first mathematicians in Europe, as well as of his sons Daniel and Nicolas Bernoulli. Having taken his degree as master of arts in 1723, Euler applied himself, at his father's desire, to the study of theology and the Oriental languages with the view of entering the church, but, with his father's consent, he soon returned to geometry as his principal pursuit. At the same time, by the advice of the younger Bernoullis, who had removed to St. Petersburg in 1725, he applied himself to the study of physiology, to which he made a happy application of his mathematical knowledge; and he also attended the medical lectures at Basel. While he was engaged in physiological researches, he composed a dissertation on the nature and propagation of sound, and an answer to a prize question concerning the masting of ships, to which the French Academy of Sciences adjudged the second rank in the year 1727. In 1727, on the invitation of Catherine I, Euler took up his residence in St. Petersburg, and was made an associate of the Academy of Sciences. In 1730 he became professor of physics, and in 1733 he succeeded Daniel Bernoulli in the chair of mathematics. At the commencement of his new career he enriched the academical collection with many memoirs, which excited a noble emulation between him and the Bernoullis, though this did not in any way affect their friendship. It was at this time that he carried the integral calculus to a higher degree of perfection, invented the calculation of sines, reduced analytical operations to a greater simplicity, and threw new light on nearly all parts of pure mathematics."

I have so many really neat activities at my disposal that it is difficult to select just one. I finally narrowed it down to activities dealing with air pressure, which is part of their curriculum (always a plus!). As I rummaged through the office, I unearthed my supply of funnels, flex straws, and ping pong balls and decided that Daniel Bernoulli would be my guest of honor that day. When I started my lesson, I blew up a balloon and talked about air and its properties. Inviting comments, I discovered that they had some very interesting background knowledge, and most of it was correct…Bernoulli’s Principle Lesson: Wind Tube I then pulled out another balloon, only longer and made from plastic rather than latex.

Introduction The Bernoulli's Principle animation on this page explores the behavior of an ideal fluid passing through a pipe. You can interact with the animation, and immediately see the effects on the fluid velocity and pressure. The animation is accompanied by two discussions - an introductory discussion without any math, and a more advanced discussion involving algebra and calculus. The fluid can be either a liquid or a gas. For Bernoulli's Principle to apply, the fluid is assumed to have these qualities:fluid flows smoothlyfluid flows without any swirls (which are called \"\"eddies\"\")fluid flows everywhere through the pipe (which means there is no \"\"flow separation\"\")fluid has the same density everywhere (it is \"\"incompressible\"\" like water)As a fluid passes through a pipe that narrows or widens, the velocity and pressure of the fluid vary. As the pipe narrows, the fluid flows more quickly. Surprisingly, Bernoulli's Principle tells us that as the fluid flows more quickly through the narrow sections, the pressure actually decreases rather than increases!Demonstration A cutout view of a rectangular pipe is shown below, with fluid flowing through it from left to right.

One of his more popular discoveries is known as the Bernoulli Principle. This principle states that an increase in a fluid's speed decreases its pressure. If this is true, and we know it is, then the opposite must also be true: that a decrease in a fluid's speed increases its pressure. This principle applies to both the lifting of a wing on an airplane, as well as the lifting of a cartridge valve poppet. So what exactly does this have to do with Hydra Force and cartridge valves in general? I'm glad you asked. In the cartridge valve world, we are primarily concerned with Bernoulli Flow Forces. Since we have hydraulic oil (fluid) moving through the cartridge valves at some speed, we must have some sort of pressure associated with that fluid at a given speed. Designing valves to use these flow forces to our advantage has been a critical piece of cartridge valve development and manifold design."

If a cubic centimeter of aluminum was suspended in a fluid such as water with a very thin and negligible thread, the metal cube would have the fluid exerting pressure on the cube. Try to imagine that if the cube were to disappear, and the fluid would magically replace the cube, then the surrounding water would support this cube that is now containing water, so that the cube of water would be motionless. That is, the forces would be balanced. The cube of water would push out on the surrounding water and the surrounding water would push back on the cube. The fluid would be static, or stationary."

It is widely considered to be the preeminent work in Italian literature [1] and one of the greatest works of world literature. [ 2] The poem's imaginative vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan language, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language. [ 3] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The narrative describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise or Heaven, [4] while allegorically the poem represents the soul's journey towards God. ["

"text": "\"Is The Divine Comedy / Dante's Inferno a biblically accurate description of heaven and hell? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"Is The Divine Comedy / Dante's Inferno a biblically accurate description of heaven and hell?\"\" Answer: Written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and 1321, The Divine Comedy is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature. A brilliantly written allegory, filled with symbolism and pathos, it is certainly one of the classics of all time. The poem is written in the first person as Dante describes his imaginative journey through the three realms of the dead: Inferno (hell); Purgatorio (Purgatory); and Paradiso (heaven). The philosophy of the poem is a mixture of the Bible, Roman Catholicism, mythology, and medieval tradition. Where Dante draws on his knowledge of the Bible, the poem is truthful and insightful. Where he draws on the other sources, the poem departs from truth. One extra-biblical source Dante drew upon was Islamic tradition ( Hadiths) as depicted in Muhammed’s “Night Journey.” According to one scholar, Islamic eschatology has exercised “an extraordinary influence on Chinese and Christian thought."

"text": "On Friday, June 19th, Joe Dante ‘s latest film, Burying the Ex, hit select theaters, VOD, and i Tunes. Last week, I was privileged enough to be among the people watching the premiere screening of the film at L. A.’s historic Egyptian Theatre, which, it turned out, was the perfect place to see it. That venue represents everything the movie, and Dante himself, bring out: a love of classic cinema and a love of Los Angeles. It seems pretty impossible to remove the City of Angels from the fabric of Burying the Ex, and that’s something that’s far too uncommon in movies nowadays. For those of you not familiar with the cinema of Joe Dante, after a childhood going to see B-sci-fi and horror movies, he began working as an editor for Roger Corman, cutting trailers and the like, before finally getting to direct films like Hollywood Boulevard, which he co-directed with Allan Arkush, and his first solo-directed film, 1978’s Piranha. From there, he went on to direct movies like The Howling, Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch, The ‘Burbs, Matinee, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. His movies always have nods toward the classic films he grew up loving and will often showcase the city of Los Angeles, or the artifice of Hollywood backlots. ( Dante founded Trailers from Hell if you want to hear his takes on old movies. ) Burying the Ex is the result of years of attempting to get Alan Trezza’s script made, which ended up happening on a very small budget and had to be shot in 20 days in and around the Echo Park area. This proved to be one of the film’s best and most defining features."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities Poetry What is the difference between an allegory and an allusion? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: An allegory is (often) a (very) extended metaphor: \"\"allegory (AL-eh-GOR-ee): a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor. Allegories are written in the form of fables, parables, poems, stories, and almost any other style or genre. The main purpose of an allegory is to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings. The difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, while a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have a different meaning throughout a literary work. One well-known example of an allegory is Dante’s The Divine Comedy. In Inferno, Dante is on a pilgrimage to try to understand his own life, but his character also represents every man who is in search of his purpose in the world. . Although Virgil literally guides Dante on his journey through the mystical inferno, he can also be seen as the reason and human wisdom that Dante has been looking for in his life. \"\" whereas an allusion: \"\"allusion (a-LOO-zhuhn): a reference in a literary work to a person, place, or thing in history or another work of literature. Allusions are often indirect or brief references to well-known characters or events."

"text": "\"The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas' most popular work. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). It is primarily concerned with themes of justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, and is told in the style of an adventure story. Dumas got the idea for The Count of Monte Cristo from a true story, which he found in a memoir written by a man named Jacques Peuchet. Peuchet related the story of a shoemaker named Pierre Picaud, who was living in Paris in 1807. Picaud was engaged to marry a rich woman, but four jealous friends falsely accused him of being a spy for England. He was imprisoned for seven years."

"text": "\"Circle 2, canto 5Heading Lust Icons Minos, Francesca (and Paolo)Allusions Famous Lovers (Semiramis, Dido, Cleopatra, Helen, Achilles, Paris, Tristan), Lancelot (Guinevere and Gallehaut)Gallery Audio Study Questions Home Lust Here Dante explores the relationship--as notoriously challenging in his time and place as in ours--between love and lust, between the ennobling power of attraction toward the beauty of a whole person and the destructive force of possessive sexual desire. The lustful in hell, whose actions often led them and their lovers to death, are \"\"carnal sinners who subordinate reason to desire\"\" ( Inf. 5.38-9). From the examples presented, it appears that for Dante the line separating lust from love is crossed when one acts on this misguided desire. Dante, more convincingly than most moralists and theologians, shows that this line is a very fine one indeed, and he acknowledges the potential complicity (his own included) of those who promulgate ideas and images of romantic love through their creative work. Dante's location of lust --one of the seven capital sins--in the first circle of hell in which an unrepented sin is punished (the second circle overall) is similarly ambiguous: on the one hand, lust's foremost location--farthest from Satan--marks it as the least serious sin in hell (and in life); on the other hand, Dante's choice of lust as the first sin presented recalls the common--if crude--association of sex with original sin, that is, with the fall of humankind (Adam and Eve) in the garden of Eden. back to top Minos Typical of the monsters and guardians of hell, Dante's Minos is an amalgam of figures from classical sources who is completed with a couple of the poet's personal touches. His Minos may in fact be a combination of two figures of this name--both rulers of Crete--one the grandfather of the other. The older Minos, son of Zeus and Europa, was known--because of his wisdom and the admired laws of his kingdom-- as the \"\"favorite of the gods.\"\" This reputation earned him the office-- following his death--of supreme judge of the underworld."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Pet Care Does my adult dog need a DAPP booster? The standard immunization schedule for the DAPP (distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza virus) vaccine is as follows. Puppies should begin their vaccination series between 6 and 8 weeks of age and receive shots every 3 to 4 weeks until they are at least 16 weeks of age. The last injection must be given after 14 weeks of age to ensure that the immunity derived from mother’s milk that can inactivate vaccines has a chance to wane. The next booster is given at the dog’s first annual check-up (when the dog is 12 to 16 months old). Thereafter, boosters can be given every three years. In adult dogs with an unclear vaccination history, only one vaccine is needed to start the series, and this can then be boosted every three years from that point on. Some veterinarians may recommend a different schedule based on the severity and incidence of diseases in their location. For more information about vaccines, see this article.

REPU, or the REPU system, describes itself as “a revolutionary project that allows you to completely rethink the way social networks are perceived. ”It’s a feedback and rating system based on decentralized blockchain technology. Essentially, REPU wants to replace traditional social media “likes” with a social media rating. That rating can be used “as an assessment tool in various areas of the individual’s life.” Some of the areas where the rating could be used include “with professional skills, financial stability, and ending with all possible aspects of behavior and interaction with the public. ”In that sense, REPU feels like the episode of Black Mirror where everyone rates each other, and someone’s social value is based on their rating out of 5 stars."

The program originated in the early 1960s with the objective to collect and disseminate worldwide cloud cover data on a daily basis (along with oceanographic and solar-geophysical environment parameters). The DMSP system is being used for strategic and tactical weather prediction to aid the US military in planning operations at sea, on land and in the air. In the early 1960s, the reconnaissance community initiated a program using low-altitude satellites as an interim measure to collect cloud-cover data. The highly classified system, known as Program 417, was to support the operational needs of the Corona satellites, designed to provide photo imagery of the Soviet Union. Corona satellites used conventional film to record their data, and the film canisters were jettisoned and returned to Earth via parachute and recovered by aircraft. The DOD wanted to maximize the usefulness of the film and needed a satellite program to predict cloud cover. Thus began Block 1 of DMSP. The program initially involved a small number of Aerospace scientists and engineers in the Electronics Research and Space Physics Laboratories. Their tasks involved improving elements of the primary sensor and developing secondary sensor concepts as well as general science and technology support."

"text": "According to several local vets there seems to be a recent increase in Leptospirosis and Bordetella infections (also known as ‘kennel cough’) in the Brooklyn Area. Since kennel cough is a common infection in kennels and doggy daycares we spoke with Dr. Jessica Pizzillo, DVM of Vinegar Hill Vet Group to shed some light on this subject. What is kennel cough? Dr. Pizzillo: It is an infection of the upper airways (trachea and bronchi), which is also called infectious tracheobronchitis. There are actually numerous different organisms that can cause an infectious tracheobronchitis. These include bacteria such as Bordetella and Mycoplasma, and viruses such as Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Coronavirus, Canine Influenza, and Distemper. A dog with “kennel cough” may be infected with one or multiple of these organisms. Is it like catching a cold? Yes, it is very similar. Is it life threatening?"

"text": "\"How does an ICO work27 comments Antonio Madeira 05 Apr 2018 112.82 k Crowdfunding & Initial Coin Offerings Initial Coin Offerings can be considered as an alternative form of crowdfunding that has emerged outside of the traditional financial system. This model has helped a lot of successful projects and companies get the funding required to start their business. In 2013, over US$5.1 billion were raised via crowdfunding worldwide, which increased to US$16 billion in 2014 and was estimated at over US$34 billion in 2015. Initial Coin Offerings, also known as ICOs is the cryptocurrency version of crowdfunding and are a part of the crypto world that is most likely here to stay. It's one of the easiest and most efficient methods for companies and individuals to fund their projects and for regular users to invest in projects they see value in. An Initial Coin Offering is an event that usually extends over a period of one week or more and in which everyone is allowed to purchase newly issued tokens in exchange for establishedcryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH). In an ICO, there can be a specific goal or limit for project funding, meaning that every token will have a pre-designated price that will not change during the Initial Coin Offering period, which also means that the token supply is static. It is also possible to have a static supply with a dynamic funding goal, in which the distribution of tokens will be made according to the funds received, meaning that the more funds the projectreceivesthe higher the token price will be. You can also have a dynamic token supply that will be determined by a number of funds that are received, meaning that the price for each token is static (e.g 1 ETH – 1 token) but every time one Ether is sent a new token is created. A limit can be set in terms of goals or time frame."

The PAWS Clinic strongly recommends that all cats and dogs are fully vaccinated (FVRCP combination for cats, DHPP or DAPP combination and bordetella for dogs) BEFORE they come to the clinic for surgery. The PAWS Clinic offers these vaccines only on the day of surgery, and they offer extremely limited immediate immunity from the diseases they protect against on the day they are administered. Further, these vaccines initially require boostering on a rigid schedule to offer full protection. Therefore, it is recommended that cats and dogs come into the clinic already fully vaccinated. We do require a current rabies vaccines for any cat or dog that is old enough. The rabies vaccine can be administered on the day of surgery for an additional $14 (1 year vaccine) or $17 (3 year vaccine). Note that you must show proof of an unexpired prior 1 year vaccine for your pet to receive a 3 year vaccine. Vaccine protocols are discussed below. Cats Feline FVRCP Combination: Commonly known as the distemper vaccine, this is a three or four way vaccine depending on what it contains, that protects your cat against three or four different serious diseases common to cats."

Potty training your puppy: Fortunately, the French Bulldog is an intelligent breed and house breaking a puppy is normally not an overly difficult or time consuming process. We highly recommend a product which can greatly help in this endeavor and which will expedite the process without the muss and fuss of pee pads or newspaper or having to constantly take your puppy out in the cold. The product is named the Potty Training Puppy Apartment (PTPA), which is made by Modern Puppies (www.modernpuppies.com – it is listed under our “Great Products” drop-down and you can order this unit from our website and receive a discount). This is a fantastic concept, and we have a couple of these units that we use to crate train and potty train the puppies we hold back to add to our kennel. You can watch their video on our “Great Products” drop-down (or click on the banner later in this section) to see how potty training is accomplished with this product. We believe the PTPA is perfect for French Bulldogs because it not only functions as a kennel (which is a necessity), but it is so much more! It is a one bedroom and one bathroom home (hence, the name “Potty Training Puppy Apartment). The great thing is that once your puppy is fully trained, you can leave the doors to the kennel open and they will still have access to their bed and their bathroom. We believe that this product is an absolute must have for individuals who live in apartments or homes with little or no yard, as well as anyone who lives in an extreme environment, since it is uncomfortable for both owner and puppy/dog to go outside in the cold (or heat) to use the bathroom."

"text": "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)Ear Health How long should a dogs ear infection last with medicine The length of time before an ear infection resolves with appropriate treatment depends on the infection’s severity. A mild infection generally starts to improve quickly, generally after just a few days. Severe infections can cause the ear drum to rupture and tissues within the ear canal to thicken. Obviously, these types of changes can take quite a while to heal, but some improvement should still be noticeable within five to seven days. A good rule of thumb is that treatment should continue for several days after the ear looks completely back to normal. Many veterinarians will schedule a recheck approximately two weeks after starting therapy for an ear infection to make sure that it has completely resolved before stopping medications. Sometimes the outer ear will look like it has healed but the infection is still present deeper down where it can be hard to see. Related entries: What diseases in dogs can result in bladder stones?

"text": "Health Diseases & Conditions Infectious Diseases How does AIDS/HIV affect red blood cells?i know that it lowers red blood cell count but exactly how does it lower it? how does it kill them? Follow 1 answer Answers Best Answer: Blood Disorders of HIV Basics HIV infection often causes anemia, a decrease in the number of circulating red blood cells. Blood is made up of a variety of different cells, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and cells that help in clotting (platelets). Anemia results when there are too few red blood cells because they are being destroyed, are not maturing correctly, and/or are not being produced adequately in the bone marrow. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. If people don’t have enough red blood cells, they begin to feel tired and breathless, and have difficulty concentrating. This can have a serious, negative effect on quality of life. Severe, untreated anemia may have complications such as heart failure and other organ damage. Many people with HIV also have problems with their levels of white blood cells (leukocytes)."

San Diego-based Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Inc., which mixes approved drug ingredients to fill individual patient prescriptions, said Thursday it will supply capsules containing Daraprim's active ingredients, pyrimethamine and leucovorin, for $99 for a 100-capsule bottle - or $1 per capsule. The move to provide cheap alternatives to Daraprim is an attack on Turing CEO Martin Shkreli, who immediately rose the price of the drug by 5,000 per cent after his company acquired it last month. The 3 1/2-year-old drug compounding firm also plans to start making inexpensive versions of other generic drugs whose prices have skyrocketed, Chief Executive Mark Baum told The Associated Press.+11Not-so-pricey: San Diego-based Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Inc. - a compound drug manufacturer - said Thursday it will supply an alternative to Daraprim for $1 a capsule.

' There'll be many more of these compounded drugs coming in the near future. The high price of prescription medicines in the U. S. — from drugs for cancer and rare diseases that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year down to once-cheap generic drugs now costing many times their old price — has become a hot issue in the 2016 presidential race. News that Turing, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. and other drugmakers have bought rights to old, cheap medicines that are the only treatment for serious diseases and then hiked prices severalfold has angered patients. It's triggered government investigations, politicians' proposals to fight 'price gouging,' heavy media scrutiny and a big slump in biotech stock prices. At the eye of the storm is former hedge fund manager Shkreli, head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, scorned last month for buying rights to and then increasing by more than 5,000 percent the price of Daraprim, a 62-year old drug with no competition."

Beth Mole - 8/25/2016, 10:35 AMEnlarge CNBCWith rage surging over claims of price gouging, Epi Pen manufacturer Mylan took a page from Turing’s playbook today. CEO Heather Bresch told CNBC that the company is taking “immediate action” to make the life-saving auto-injectors available to any patients that need one. The company will expand discounts and eligibility of its customer assistance program. However, Mylan gave no sign that it will lower the Epi Pen’s list price, which the company has hiked up more than 400 percent in recent years. Though an Epi Pen only costs a few dollars to make and can reverse deadly allergic reactions, they now can cost more than $600. Bresch, seen as the mastermind of the price hike and currently one of the highest paid executives in the industry, tried instead to shift the conversation to problems in the American healthcare system. In what can only be described as a perplexing interview with CNBC, Bresch said: No one's more frustrated than me… My frustration is, the list price is $608. There is a system."

"text": "\"Martin Shkreli — the embattled chief executive of Turing Pharmaceuticals who has been criticized in recent days for raising the price of a 62-year-old drug by more than 4,000 percent overnight — has been misunderstood. At least that's the main message from his appearances on various TV news shows Monday and Tuesday. In an interview on \"\"CBS This Morning,\"\" Shkreli told reporter Don Dahler that the drug in question, Daraprim, was unprofitable at the old price. Daraprim, which is used to treat a life-threatening condition called toxoplasmosis caused by parasitic infection, had been sold for $18 a pill by the company that previously held the rights to the drug. But when Turing bought the medicine last month, it immediately raised the price to $750 a pill — a move that some patient advocates calculated would bring the annual cost of treatment for a single person to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Shkreli didn't do himself or his company any favors over the weekend when the news of the price spike went viral online after an HIV/AIDS group complained of the increase and he took to his Twitter account to admonish anyone who dared to question the business decision.$VTL #GDFR pic.twitter.com/Fl Zu2N68sy— Martin Shkreli (@Martin Shkreli) August 12, 2015He was markedly more humble Monday and Tuesday in on-camera interviews with Bloomberg News, CNBC and CBS and in phone conversations with other news outlets, and emphasized that the move was all about the patients.

"text": "\"After being blasted for price hikes on its lifesaving Epi Pen allergy injections, the drugmaker Mylan announced Thursday that it will expand access to the product — not by lowering the price, but by creating a savings card that will cover up to $300 of its Epi Pen 2-Pak. The list price of the drug is $609 for a two-pack of the injectors, up from less than $100 in 2007, according to data from Truven Health Analytics. Although the company said that the savings card would halve the cost of the drug to commercially insured patients who pay full price, outside experts said the overall impact will likely be small and that it did not amount to a solution to the broader problem. Such savings cards are a classic public relations move by the pharmaceutical industry, said Harvard Medical School professor Aaron Kesselheim, and it will only be used by a fraction of the people who need the drug. For example, such savings cards are illegal in government health programs such as Medicaid. \"\" These don’t actually do anything about the price itself, because the high price is still being paid by the insurer, which then ends up being reflected in increasing premiums,\"\" Kesselheim said. \"\" This is not a public health solution.\"\" [ Secret rebates, coupons and exclusions: how the battle over high drug prices is really being fought]According to Mylan, the savings card will be worth up to $300 and is available on the drug's website. In a fact sheet explaining how it will work, for example, the company shows that a person with up to a $300 co-pay will pay nothing for the drug. Those who pay full price will get $300 off."

"text": "9 Reasons Why Americans Pay So Much More For Healthcare Robyn Pennacchia @robynelyse | 9.22.15 | 1:00 pm Email Share Tweet Pin It Reddit Advertisement CREDIT: Shutterstock Yesterday, the country collectively dropped its jaw when Martin Shkreli, the CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals dropped the news that his company would be raising the price of a very important drug that cures toxoplasmosis, Daraprim, from $13.50 to $750. One thing not mentioned nearly enough, other than the fact that this happens all the time–that’s only going to be the price Americans pay. People in countries with socialized health care, in countries that are allowed to regulate and negotiate the prices of drugs, the pill will cost around $1.73. Perhaps some are thinking “ Well, those countries have to pay way more health care related taxes than we do! I’d rather pay $750 a pill than do that! Who knows if I’ll ever even need that pill! “ But the fact is–Americans actually pay more in health care-related taxes than any other country on earth. In 2012, the year before Obamacare was launched, the U. S. spent an average of $8,745 per person in health care related costs–$2000 more than the second highest spender, Norway. Now we pay something like $9000 per person– and while Obamacare is better than nothing, we don’t get the same bang for our buck that people in other countries do. In addition to that, we spend way the hell more on out-of-pocket costs than people in other countries do, and on top of that we have to pay for our own insurance, so we’re getting it from all sides."

Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is an opportunistic infection that occurs in immunosuppressed populations, primarily patients with advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection. The classic presentation of nonproductive cough, shortness of breath, fever, bilateral interstitial infiltrates and hypoxemia does not always appear. Diagnostic methods of choice include sputum induction and bronchoalveolar lavage. The drug of choice for treatment and prophylaxis is trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, but alternatives are often needed because of adverse effects or, less commonly, treatment failure. Adjunctive corticosteroid therapy improves survival in moderate to severe cases. Complications such as pneumothorax and respiratory failure portend poorer survival.

The rights to Daraprim were purchased in August by a new company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, which promptly increased the price from $13.50 per tablet to $750 per tablet -- a 5,000 percent jump -- the New York Times reported. Daraprim, the common name for the drug pyrimethamine, is the only medication for treating toxoplasmosis, an infection contracted from cat parasites that can cause birth defects. It is also used as a co-treatment for HIV infections, some cancers and malaria. Infectious disease physicians and advocates wrote a letter to the company urging them to reconsider the price increase. \"\" Under the current pricing structure, it is estimated that the annual cost of treatment for toxoplasmosis, for the pyrimethamine component alone, will be $336,000 for patients who weigh less than 60 kilograms [132 pounds] and $634,500 for patients who weigh more than 60 kilograms,\"\" the letter said. \"\" This cost is unjustifiable for the medically vulnerable patient population in need of this medication and unsustainable for the health care system. \"\" The jump in cost is particularly surprising because Daraprim is an off-patent drug developed more than 60 years ago.

Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency. Folic acid is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat pernicious anemia. However it will not treat Vitamin B12 deficiency and will not prevent possible damage to the spinal cord. Take all of your medications as directed. Slideshow Sports And Dietary Supplements: From Creatine To Whey Important information You should not use this medication if you have ever had an allergic reaction to folic acid. Before you take folic acid, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis), an infection, if you are an alcoholic, or if you have any type of anemia that has not been diagnosed by a doctor and confirmed with laboratory testing. Talk to your doctor about taking folic acid during pregnancy or while breast-feeding."

"text": "\"D. A. R. E.*Experimental Mysticism in the Classroom- Based on the idea that education can cut into the drug cartels' sources of revenue, there have arisen several programs aimed at instructing young people about drugs and the consequences involved in using them. The reasoning is that if people can be induced to make informed choices from an early age, the number of drug users will dwindle sufficiently so as to make it less profitable for drug dealers to operate. The most well-known drug awareness program is D. A. R. E. - - Drug Abuse Resistance Education (hereafter referred to as DARE). Since DARE has become a regular part of today's education scene, knowledge of DARE's operation is of vital importance to Christian parents. What is DARE? Does DARE really work in preventing children from becoming involved in drugs? Should Christian children be involved in DARE?- DARE was conceived in 1983 by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Daryl Gates. He believed that if the system could get to the kids while they were still young and relatively unexposed to drugs, especially by a credible role model such as a police officer, fewer would choose to do drugs when they got older. The DARE program quickly got spread to other school districts throughout the nation through DARE America, a private funding arm put together by the LAPD working with major corporate sponsors. Now most every state has its own DARE training center."

Imagine a commercial plane crashed and there were some fatalities involved. You can be sure that would make the headline of every major newspaper. Well, we have the equivalent of 8-10 planes crashing EVERY DAY with everyone on board dying from cancer. Nearly two million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year—one person out of three will be hit with a cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives, in spite of the massive technological advances over the past half-century. Western medicine is no closer to finding a “cancer cure,” while cancer has grown into a worldwide epidemic of staggering proportions. The statistics speak for themselves: In the early 1900s, one in 20 people developed cancer In the 1940s, one in 16 people developed cancer In the 1970s, it was one in 10Today, it’s one in three!According to the CDC, about 1,660,290 (1.66 million) new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2013 1. If overall death rates are falling, why are incidence rates still on the rise? The answer is simple: the 40-year “war on cancer” has been a farce. The cancer epidemic is a dream for Big Pharma, and their campaigns to silence cancer cures have been fierce, which is a tale well told in the documentary film featured below, Cancer: Forbidden Cures."

Many cause permanent brain damage at the doses customarily given. Psychiatric drugs and the profession that promotes them are dangers to your health. ANTIDEPRESSANTSThe Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry/IV, published in 1985, says \"\"The tricyclic-type drugs are the most effective class of anti-depressants\"\" (Williams & Wilkins, p. 1520). But in his book Overcoming Depression, published in 1981, Dr. Andrew Stanway, a British physician, says \"\"If anti-depressant drugs were really as effective as they are made out to be, surely hospital admission rates for depression would have fallen over the twenty years they've been available. Alas, this has not happened. ... Many trials have found that tricyclics are only marginally more effective than placebos, and some have even found that they are not as effective as dummy tablets\"\" (Hamlyn Publishing Group, Ltd., p. 159-160).

The obstruction of the urinary tract by calculi at the narrowest anatomical areas leads to impaired drainage and severe pain (renal colic). The treatment ofrenal colicincludes conservative treatment including rehydration, analgesia, and drugs to enhance stones expulsion, and surgical treatments such as uteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and open/laparoscopic lithotomy. Pain therapy includes drugs such as paracetamol, narcotics, corticosteroids, and acupuncture. Drugs that enhance expulsion include cyclooxygenase inhibitors, corticosteroids, α-blocker therapy, or calcium-channel blocker therapy. The stone composition, size and location are key determinants for predicting spontaneous stone passage and therefore dictate the type of therapy used. Stones less than 5mm in diameter and located in the distal ureter are more likely to pass spontaneously with facilitation from drugs that enhance expulsion than larger stones and stones that are located in the proximal ureter which need surgical therapy. Small stones can also be treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The economic burden of urinary stone treatment is estimated at US$5 billion including direct and indirect costs in 2005.

We successfully made enough fuss about the potential danger of fast tracking licensure of squalene adjuvants into US H1N1 vaccines under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that can be invoked during a declared public health emergency that the FDA has NOT licensed these adjuvants for the U.

That is not to say the vaccine manufacturers will not try to get the adjuvants inserted into vaccines in the future, but for now we have won on this point. According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.

He became certified as a nutritionist in New York State in 1996, but I don't know whether he sees clients. According to an article in East West magazine, Null became interested in nutrition during his twenties while working as a short order cook in New York City, where he now resides. He researched the subject and wrote The Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition, which was published in 1972 and sold briskly after Null appeared on a succession of prominent talk shows. He began hosting radio shows around that time and eventually got his own show on WABC, the flagship radio station of the ABC network. Later he moved to WMCA, which broadcast Null's show on Sunday nights to many stations across the United States. For many years, he also hosted a daily show on WBAI and a Sunday evening program on WEVD in New York City. I have been tracking his activities since the mid-1970s.

This oligarchy controls the politicians, the courts, the educational institutions, the food, the natural resources, the foreign policies, the economies and the money of most nations. And, they control the major media, which is why we know nothing about them. Modern democracy, as we know it, is less than 250 years old. For most of history, except for this brief period, the world has been ruled by powerful elites who wielded absolute power over their societies, controlled the wealth and resources of their known world, and dominated their people by force. The New World Order cabal plans to restore this model of totalitarian rule on a global scale. The endgame will be a one-world government presiding over the earth for the benefit of global oligarchs and their superclass functionaries, leaving the mass of humanity as serfs, to serve the elite, while suffering impoverishment and immiseration. The plan includes scientifically engineered global population reduction (viruses/vaccines/genetically-modified food), cutting the world's population to less than one billion, leaving the earth's resources for the exclusive use of this global oligarchy.

Let Us Help You What is Drug Charges law? This legal area, also referred to as Drug Crimes law, is a subset of Criminal law and overlaps with Criminal Defense law. It encompasses the laws created to deal with illegal drug possession, use, manufacture, trafficking and other related transactions, as well as their enforcement and with legal defenses of the associated charges. This refers to both “street” drugs, which are strictly illegal, and drugs subject to Controlled Substances law, which are regulated by state and federal laws. Although most drug charges are classified as felonies, the seriousness of the offence and subsequent punishment is most often determined by the type of drug involved and, if applicable, its classification under the drug schedule, the quantity the offender is found with, whether there is intent to sell and/or distribute and other relevant factors. A conviction for drug trafficking carries stiff penalties as well as dire consequences above and beyond criminal punishment, such as denial of federal benefits and forfeiture of real estate and personal property. There exists controversy about the vigilant pursuit of drug charges against recreational users of “lesser” drugs, such as marijuana, and against drug addicts who would probably benefit far more from a drug rehabilitation clinic than from a prison sentence. Many opponents argue that drug use is a “victimless crime” and should be treated differently from violent criminal offenses. Others support the government’s view that drug use is a direct contributor to violent crime and their determination to prosecute these offenses to the fullest extent of the law."

I share with Perspectives on World History and Current Events the worthy aspiration to aim for unique perspectives in world events, to go behind the news, to not take what is on offer by the media as gospel. I came to that point of view from my own dissatisfaction, to put it mildly, of the way the Vietnam War was and still is wrongly projected and understood by some influential people in the Western media. I'm here to share with you the other side of the story and an updated account about Vietnam, the Vietnam that I know. Many public figures have drawn analogies between the Vietnam War and the current Iraq situation. Before making comparison, before drawing lessons about the Vietnam War in any meaningful way, I think it is important to understand the Vietnam War from a factual and up to date perspective.

It's usually decided either by the boss's whim - or by the grumbling resistance of the majority to \"\"special treatment\"\" for minorities. The voices of the least powerful, or least argumentative, minority groups are rarely heard. In the end, bullies get their way; the weak are ignored."

CHAPTER IPERVERTING THE CONSTITUTIONTHE object of a Constitution like that of the United States is to establish certain fundamentals of government in such a way that they cannot be altered or destroyed by the mere will of a majority of the people, or by the ordinary processes of legislation. The framers of the Constitution saw the necessity of making a distinction between these fundamentals and the ordinary subjects of law-making, and accordingly they, and the people who gave their approval to the Constitution, deliberately arrogated to themselves the power to shackle future majorities in regard to the essentials of the system of government which they brought into being. They did this with a clear consciousness of the object which they had in view--the stability of the new government and the protection of certain fundamental rights and liberties. But they did not for a moment entertain the idea of imposing upon future generations, through the extraordinary sanctions of the Constitution, their views upon any special subject of ordinary legislation. Such a proceeding would have seemed to them far more monstrous, and far less excusable, than that tyranny of George III and his Parliament which had given rise to the American Revolution. Until the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment, the Constitution of the United States retained the character which properly belongs to the organic law of a great Federal Republic."

"text": "\"types of ichthyosis Darier Disease: A Patient's Perspective What is Darier Disease? Darier disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized primarily by skin changes. The onset of skin changes usually occurs in adolescence. The severity of the disease may fluctuate over time, but it is chronic and lifelong. In normal skin, the skin cells are held together like bricks cemented in a wall. In this condition, the skin cells are not held together properly and the skin may become scaly or bumpy or form blisters. What are the Signs & Symptoms? The skin changes are characterized by persistent, greasy, scaly bumps, which tend to occur in the seborrheic (oily or sebum-producing) areas of the face (edges of the scalp, forehead, ears, and sides of the nose), neck and central chest and back. The folds of the skin around the joints and the skin under the breasts and between the buttocks are also commonly affected. The skin lesions may feel firm and rough, like sandpaper, and may be skin-colored, yellow brown, or brown in color."

"text": "Darier disease (also known as keratosis follicularis or Darier-White disease) is a rare genetically inherited skin disorder that can be characterized by multiple dark scaly patches of itchy skin most commonly affecting the chest, back, ears, forehead, scalp, neck, and groin areas. These wart-like lesions can be foul smelling and disfiguring and has been known to affect nails and mucous membranes of the individual. The occurrence of Darier disease is rare with the age of onset usually in the first or second decade of life. It is frequently worse in the summer with heat and humidity as major precipitating factors and can be exacerbated by sun exposure, trauma, or bacterial infections. The cause of this disease is oftentimes due to a mutation in a specific gene known as ATP2A2 which can alter the function and development of the skin. The affected parent with this gene has at least a fifty percent chance of passing it down to their children. Patients with this disease may be associated with behavioral disorders and rarely with decreased intelligence. Most patients with Darier disease have a family history of either one or both parents being affected. However, it can also present itself without any family history as well. Even though the severity fluctuates over time, Darier disease is a chronic condition that persists throughout life and is not associated with any skin cancers."

"text": "Brown Fingernails – Causes Of Brownish Color, Spots, Streaks Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet Many people do not give the fingernails much thought beyond the need to cut, trim and decorate it. However, the fingernails can also be an important indicator of a person’s health. Normally the nails are somewhat white to light brown in color with a pink to red tinge due to the underlying blood flow. There may be some degree of variation in this white color which is considered normal, similar to the variations in teeth color. When the fingernails are overtly discolored then it may be a sign of a nail problem or an underlying systemic disease. There may be many different colors evident in discolored nails . A brownish discoloration is one such abnormality which is referred to as melanonychia. It can affect the entire nail or occurs as spots, streaks or bands. Racial variations in skin and nail color may also sometimes be incorrectly described as discoloration but this type of racial melanonychia is considered to be normal. It can also occur during pregnancy but will often resolve after childbirth."

Koilonychia is a component of the nail-patella syndrome, a genetic disease characterized by numerous abnormalities including musculoskeletal and kidney abnormalities. Spooning fingernails can also result from trauma, exposure to certain solvents, or it may be associated with chronic medical conditions.

The blemishes are usually yellowish in color, hard to the touch, mildly greasy, and can emit a strong odor. The most common sites for blemishes are the scalp, forehead, upper arms, chest, back, knees, elbows, and behind the ear. The mucous membranes can also be affected, with blemishes on the roof of the mouth (palate), tongue, inside of the cheek, gums, and throat. Other features of Darier disease include nail abnormalities, such as red and white streaks in the nails with an irregular texture, and small pits in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. The wart-like blemishes characteristic of Darier disease usually appear in late childhood to early adulthood. The severity of the disease varies over time; affected people experience flare-ups alternating with periods when they have fewer blemishes. The appearance of the blemishes is influenced by environmental factors. Most people with Darier disease will develop more blemishes during the summertime when they are exposed to heat and humidity. UV light; minor injury or friction, such as rubbing or scratching; and ingestion of certain medications can also cause an increase in blemishes."

There may also be discoloration and thickening of the nails along with the ridging. A certain number of lines are normally found on all fingernails, due to the basic aging process. They do not necessarily signal the presence of a health issue. However deeper ridges, discolored nails and jagged edges of brittle nails may be symptomatic of other underlying conditions. Longitudinal ridging may be caused by a host of potential medical issues and may be a good reason to pay attention to the person’s general health and wellbeing. Possible causes of longitudinal ridging can include: Lichen planus A chronic skin condition that affects one in a hundred people, Lichen Planus causes longitudinal ridging in about 10% of people affected with the disorder. It is an autoimmune disease in which the inflammatory cells attack an unknown protein in the body. Besides affecting the nails, it can cause a number of lesions on the skin as well as mucosal surfaces. It is also called “twenty nail dystrophy” if all the nails of the fingers and toes are affected."

First described by Darier in 1916, it is characterized by a scaling or nonscaling, nonpruritic, annular or arcuate, erythematous eruption. It tends to spread peripherally while clearing centrally. Histologically, an intense lymphohistiocytic cuffing occurs about the superficial and deep dermal vessels without epidermal involvement. The etiology is uncertain, but it may be due to a hypersensitivity to malignancy, infection, drugs, or chemicals, or it may be idiopathic. Controversy exists in the classification of the gyrate erythemas, and the literature is wrought with ambiguity and contradictions. Since its initial description in 1916, the term erythema annulare centrifugum has grown to include several histologic and clinical variants. Ackerman, and later Bressler and Jones, [1] suggested a classification in which only 2 types of gyrate erythema are considered: superficial (pruritic, scaling) and deep (nonpruritic, nonscaling). The original description of EAC was of the latter type. However, the superficial type is more commonly seen with its characteristic trailing scale behind an advancing, erythematous border."

It most often affects men of Mediterranean ancestry between the ages of 30 and 70 who have a history of alcohol abuse. Non-alcoholics and women can also be affected. The signs and symptoms vary greatly from person to person. Usually, accumulation of fatty tissue increases over time and may lead to a loss of neck mobility and pain. The lipomas can cause physical deformity and peripheral neuropathy. In the majority of cases, the disease is benign; however, lipomas can become cancerous in rare circumstances. The exact cause of Madelung disease is unknown, but it may be associated with changes (mutations) in mitochondrial DNA and/or alcoholism. Treatment may include medications to correct associated metabolic conditions; surgery or liposuction to remove the lipomas; and avoidance of alcohol.

Available from: http://www.ijdvl.com/text.asp?2007/73/5/363/35751Introduction Darier's sign refers to the urtication and erythematous halo that are produced in response to rubbing or scratching of lesions of cutaneous mastocytosis. Darier's sign is named after the French dermatologist Ferdinand-Jean Darier who first described it. The first description of mastocytosis was made by Nettleship and Tay [1] in 1869, and in 1878, Sangster coined the term urticaria pigmentosa. [ 2]Method of Elicitation In classical Darier's sign, gentle rubbing or stroking of the lesions, is followed by local itching, erythema and weal formation within 2-5 min. This may persist from 30min to several hours. In young children, there may be vesiculation in the stroked lesion. Although classically positive in lesional skin, this sign may even be demonstrated on clinically normal skin in patients of mastocytosis."

Print Background Mastocytosis is a disorder characterized by mast cell proliferation and accumulation within various organs, most commonly the skin. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of mastocytosis includes the following [ 1, 2]: Cutaneous mastocytosis - Urticaria pigmentosa, maculopapular cutaneous mastocytosis, diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis, mastocytoma of skin Indolent systemic mastocytosis Systemic mastocytosis with an associated (clonal) hematologic non–mast cell lineage disease Aggressive systemic mastocytosis Mast cell leukemia Mast cell sarcoma Extracutaneous mastocytoma [ 1, 2]This article focuses on cutaneous mastocytosis (CM). The single World Health Organization (WHO) major criterion is multifocal dense infiltrates of mast cells in bone marrow and/or other extracutaneous organs. One major and 1 minor criterion or 3 minor diagnostic criteria are needed to establish a diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis. Minor criteria include baseline total tryptase level of greater than 20 ng/m L; greater than 25% of the mast cells in bone marrow aspirate smears or tissue biopsy sections having spindle atypical morphology; mast cells in bone marrow, blood, or other lesional tissue expressing CD25 or CD2; or detection of a codon 816 c- kit point mutation in blood, bone marrow, or lesional tissue. [ 3]Types of cutaneous mastocytosis include solitary mastocytoma, diffuse erythrodermic mastocytosis, paucicellular mastocytosis (also termed telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans [TMEP]), and urticaria pigmentosa (UP). Urticaria pigmentosa is the most common form and is characterized by oval or round red-brown macules, papules, or plaques ranging in number from a few to thousands (see images below).

[ 1] Obvious but nonpathologic visible desquamation can be observed after immersion of the skin in warm or hot water, encouraging the topmost layer of dead skin cells to shed and as such is a common result from the use of a hot shower or bath. In pathologic desquamation, such as that seen in X-linked ichthyosis, the stratum corneum becomes thicker ( hyperkeratosis ), imparting a \"\"dry\"\" or scaly appearance to the skin, and instead of detaching as single cells, corneocytes are shed in clusters, forming visible scales. [ 1] Desquamation of the epidermis may result from disease or injury of the skin. For example, once the rash of measles fades, there is desquamation.

Question I don't have a stuffy nose or feel sick or anything, but for a few weeks when I blow my nose the mucous is yellow. Does that mean I have some sort of infection or could my nose be dirty or something? Answer Sinusitis arises from the inflammation of the sinuses with a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. Many people think that a yellow or green nasal discharge means a bacterial infection, which requires antibiotics but it is not true. It can be a sign that your body is being attacked by either a bacteria or a virus. That said, a yellow discharge does not necessarily indicate a sinus infection. Is your yellow nasal discharge light or dark? A dark yellow mucus can indicate a sinus infection (but again is not necessarily so) while a light yellow mucus can be produced by dry air and a thick yellow mucus can indicate the presence of a \"\"cold\"\" that requires one to drink more water."

"text": "Mucus Plug (The Show) During Pregnancy – What Is It? By Sam Mc Culloch Dip CBEd in Pregnancy. Updated: April 2, 2018Cervical mucus is something most women are familiar with. It’s a type of discharge occuring at different times during our menstrual cycle, and it plays an important role during pregnancy as well. The cervix secretes thick mucus to protect your uterus and reproductive organs from invading bacteria and other pathogens. At the time of ovulation, the mucus changes and acts as a protective path for sperm to travel safely. You might notice an increase in cervical mucus around the time of your ovulation, due to surging levels of estrogen. What Is a Mucus Plug? If an egg is fertilised and implants in the uterus, continuing high levels of estrogen cause the cervical glands to secrete more cervical fluid. This fluid accumulates in the cervix and thickens, forming a seal called an operculum, or more commonly the mucus plug."

Wikimedia Share Tweet Share E-mail It’s not uncommon when you develop a hacking cough from deep down in your lungs to cough up a gel-like substance known as phlegm, or sputum. While you may think nothing of it, simply associating it with your sickness, the color of the mucus can tell you some things about the pathogens invading your body. The body is a mucus-making machine, producing about 1 to 1.5 liters of phlegm every day, even when you’re healthy. “ In health, phlegm/mucus is mostly clear and minimal,” Dr. Matthew Exline, a pulmonologist and critical care specialist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, told Medical Daily in an email. “ If you are coughing up significant amounts of phlegm you could have an infection or allergies. ”Read More: Coughing Up Blood: 5 Possible Causes, And What To Do While coughing up only a little clear phlegm is considered normal, larger amounts of phlegm may indicate a developing infection.

Abnormally-colored urine may also be cloudy, dark, or blood-tinged. See also - urine, bloody or dark. Considerations Any changes in urine color, or the presence of an abnormal urine color that cannot be linked to the consumption of a food or drug, should be reported to the doctor. This is particularly important if it happens for longer than a day or two, or if there are repeated episodes. Some dyes used in candy may be excreted in the urine, and a wide variety of drugs can discolor the urine. Cloudy, murky, or turbid (muddy) urine is characteristic of a urinary tract infection, which may also have an offensive smell. Murky urine may also be caused by the presence of bacteria, mucus, white blood cells or red blood cells, epithelial cells, fat, or phosphates.

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": "Coughing up Green Mucus-Causes, Treatment Coughing up green mucus or green phlegm is an indication that there is pus accumulation inside the respiratory passage. Phlegm, mucus, sputum or post-nasal drip are terms for slim secretions that is produced due to coughing from throat. The consistency of phlegm can vary from being watery to thick and jelly-like. Though white or pale yellow mucus is normal thing, there can be other mucus color like green mucus which can allude to certain health issues. Sponsored link Due to infection, the phlegm can change to yellow, pink, brown, red or green due to bacteria which is trapped in the throat or due to body’s response to viral infection. Coughing up green mucus is caused due to the heme cluster in the iron enzyme myeloperoxidase, which is produced by white blood cells as an immunity defense to cytotoxins during oxidative burst. Respiratory burst or oxidative burst means release of reactive oxygen (hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical) from various cells in the body. Green mucus means that the body is attacked by either bacteria or virus. Green mucus symptoms Green mucus symptoms Green phlegm or mucus can be a symptom of1. Bronchitis2."

Modal Trigger Doak 16, the Army’s VTOL plane in 1959Getty Images The VTOL X-Plane — Vertical Take Off and Landing Experimental Aircraft — is to do “substantially everything a bird can do in the air,” as revered New York University aeronautical engineer Alexander Klemin described aviation’s Holy Grail back in 1938. Modal Trigger The VTOL X-Plane — Vertical Take Off and Landing Experimental Aircraft — is to do “substantially everything a bird can do in the air. ”Getty Images That means take off and land vertically, hover like a hummingbird, and cruise at better than 345 miles an hour — two to three times as fast as most helicopters. This will be a truly experimental aircraft — a technology demonstrator, not a vehicle the military will actually use. But they will still have the potential to be useful. The competitors have been required to design an aircraft weighing 10,000 to 12,000 pounds fully loaded, with 40% of that weight “useful load,” meaning what it can lift besides itself — fuel, cargo, passengers. To ease the challenge, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is running the competition, let the contestants design unmanned aircraft. The main objective, though, is how well the bird flies. These prototypes could revolutionize combat missions, military and civilian search-and-rescue operations, civilian air travel, cargo delivery — you name it."

"text": "\"The Internet Protocol Suite, formerly named TCP/IP, is a suite of communication protocols that are used to create a computer networking model for packet switching networks. The development of TCP/IP was funded by DARPA, who are an agency of the U. S. Department of Defense , and are responsible for developing technologies for military use. The initial design of TCP/IP was developed by Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf (1973), and the first outline of the protocol was published in a paper titled \"\"A Protocol for Packet Network Interconnection\"\" (1974). Throughout the 1970s, a standardised version of TCP/IP was developed by a range of research institutions, and it became a U. S. Department of Defense standard in 1982. In 1983, DARPA created the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) to oversee the development of TCP/IP, and, from 1986-1987, the IAB created the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) to evolve and engineer TCP/IP. The technical areas that are researched and engineered are: applications; host protocols; Internet protocols; routing; network management; OSI interoperability; operations; and security. TCP/IP was applied to a range of U. S. federally funded computer networks in the 1980s, such as: ARPANET, NSFNET, MILNET and CSNET. TCP/IP was also used by a range of commercially funded computer networks in the 1980s, such as: CERFnet, PSInet and UUnet. When TCP/IP computer networks were interconnected - through a process of Internetworking - in the 1980s, they became the Internet ( inter connected net works). . By the end of the 1980s, a range of new application level protocols (such as DNS) were developed for TCP/IP and the set of protocols was named the Internet protocol suite."

Recommended for You This battery advance could make electric vehicles far cheaper Bitcoin would be a calamity, not an economy Bitcoin is eating Quebec Facebook’s disappearing message saga is the act of a company in turmoil In blockchain we trust The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a division of the Defense Department that explores new technologies, is funding several projects that aim to make artificial intelligence explain itself. The approaches range from adding further machine-learning systems geared toward providing an explanation, to the development of new machine-learning approaches that incorporate an elucidation by design. “We now have this real explosion of AI,” says David Gunning, the DARPA program manager who is funding an effort to develop AI techniques that include some explanation of their reasoning. “ The reason for that is mainly machine learning, and deep learning in particular. ”Deep learning and other machine-learning techniques have taken Silicon Valley by storm, improving voice recognition and image classification significantly, and they are being used in ever-more contexts, including areas like law-enforcement and medicine, where the consequences of a mistake may be serious. But while deep learning is incredibly good at finding patterns in data, it can be impossible to understand how it reaches a conclusion. The learning process is mathematically very complex, and there is often no way to translate this into something a person would understand."

"text": "Augmented cognition: Science fact or science fiction? Posted on Wednesday, January 3, 2007 by Mo Costandi under Cognitive Science, Futurology, Psychology, Technology We live in a time in which we are overwhelmed by information obtained from multiple sources, such as the internet, television, and radio. We are usually unable to give our undivided attention to any one source of information, but instead give ‘continuous partial attention’ to all of them by constantly flitting between them. The limitations of cognitive processes, particularly attention and working memory, place a ceiling on the capacity of the brain to process and store information. It is these processes that some researchers are aiming to enhance with augmented cognition,an emerging field which aims to use computational technology to enhance human performance in various tasks by overcoming the bottlenecks in processes such as attention and memory. Whereas brain-computer interfaces enable people to control various aspects of their environment, the goal of augmented cognition is to determine peoples’ cognitive state in order to enhance it. Augmented cognition has many potential military applications, and its proponents promise that it will also greatly improve productivity in the workplace. Hence, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is conducting research in the area, and corporations such as Microsoft are also showing interest and funding research. Research utilizes a three-pronged approach, whereby advances in cognitive and neural science are combined with information technologies from industry and academia to develop technologies for enhancing human cognitive capabilities. Attention Before information can be processed in working memory, it must first be attended to by the senses, which are the windows through which the brain perceives its environment."

"text": "Neel V. Patel Science 05.29.15 1:29 pm Watch This Terrifying Cheetah Robot Jump Over Hurdles When you combine robots and cheetahs with military funding, you’re bound to end up with something incredible. Robotics engineers from MIT have spent over five years developing a battery-powered quadruped robot capable of running as fast as a human being. And now they’ve trained that robot to jump over hurdles—autonomously. In a video released today, the team from MIT shows off their DARPA-funded, four-legged harbinger of terror approaching and clearing obstacles up to 18 inches tall while maintaing an average speed of 5 mph. The 70-lb robot (roughly the same weight as a female cheetah) estimates the height, size, and distance of objects in its path, and adjusts its approach to prepare a jump and safe landing—all without slowing down. “It’s the first legged robot to be able leap hurdles like this autonomously,” says team leader Sangbae Kim. “ Many other robots can move faster on wheels, or maybe jump higher, but they can’t do it on their own.” Kim and his colleagues will hold a live demonstration of the robot’s running jump at the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals in June, and present the findings from this latest round of tests at robotics conference in July. The previous cheetah had most of the same hardware—except it was blind. It used an IMU (internal measurement unit) with an accelerometer and a gyroscope to keep its balance."

All of the above!The bottom line is that pressing the button should stop things in a safe way. Sometimes this means that they just cut power. Other times, when just cutting power is not the safe thing to do, they hook up to some type of controller that brings things to a halt in a safe way. What type of controller? Well, that depends on the machine and what is required (and is beyond the scope of this question). Most exercise treadmills, for example, have an emergency stop. Sometimes it is just a large red button. Sometimes it is a clip+string that attaches to your clothes and when it is pulled (because you lost your balance) it activates."

That's why they are patriotic souls. The lawyers and other professionals hired by the CIA can definitely make more money elsewhere. However, being a CIA covert operative is an unmatchable job, for sure! Their beginning salary ranges from low $50,000 to low $80,000 per year as they work at CIA HQ in Langley, VA., averaging around $68,800 per year. But, the salary can become higher depending on the specialty of training and eventual assignment location, exceeding $120,000 per year.

Though the two events did not appear to be related, this followed the U. S. Navy’s official disclosure that it had successfully test fired a hypersonic missile design of its own that could fit inside the standard launch tube on an Ohio -class submarine. On Oct. 8, 2017, state-run broadcaster China Central Television, or CCTV, aired a special that dealt in part with the country’s JF-12 hypersonic wind tunnel. This is the largest testing setup of its kind in the world and can produce air speeds up to Mach 9 thanks to its pulse detonation engine. Interestingly, visible at one point in the presentation was a test shape that looks very similar to artist’s renderings and mockups of the DF-ZF hypersonic vehicle, which is likely the first time the Chinese government has shown an actual test article associated with the program. There are also computer-generated renderings of what appears to be a blended wing body aircraft or drone and a clip of technicians work on what could be a reentry vehicle, or a representative test shape of one, for a nuclear-armed ballistic missile.

The healthy DASH diet plan was developed to lower blood pressure without medication in research sponsored by the US National Institutes of Health, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. The first DASH diet research showed that it could lower blood pressure as well as the first line blood pressure medications, even with a sodium intake of 3300 mg/day! Since then, numerous studies have shown that the DASH diet reduces the risk of many diseases, including some kinds of cancer, stroke, heart disease, heart failure, kidney stones, and diabetes. It has been proven to be an effective way to lose weight and become healthier at the same time. It is full of fabulous, delicious, real foods. All of these benefits led to the #1 diet ranking by US News & World Report in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. The Improved DASH Diet The original DASH diet research was not designed for weight loss, and was relatively high in refined grains and starchy foods. It was based on the prevailing nutrition \"\"wisdom\"\" of the mid-90s. ( Note: The NIH educational materials have not been updated since 2006.)"

"text": "\" (Getty Images)Overview The aim: Losing weight while living healthier. The claim: You'll drop up to 2 pounds weekly. The theory: There’s more to weight loss than counting calories – if you make healthier choices and behavior changes, you’ll feel better while losing weight. The Weight Watchers Beyond the Scale Program, launched in late 2015, is designed to help people eat better, move more and shift their mindset. The program assigns every food and beverage a Smart Points value, based on its nutrition (higher amounts of saturated fat and sugar increase the point value; higher amounts of protein bring the point value down). Choices that fill you up the longest “cost” the least, and nutritionally dense foods cost less than empty calories. So if you’re wavering between a cup of lobster bisque soup or a chicken salad sandwich – both 380 calories – the sandwich is the smarter choice. A backbone of the plan is multi-model access (via in-person meetings, online chat or phone) to support from people who lost weight using Weight Watchers, kept it off and have been trained in behavioral weight management techniques. With Beyond the Scale, Weight Watchers members lost 15 percent more weight in their first two months following the new program, the company says, compared with those who followed the previous program.

Patients are often trying to lose weight, and it is estimated that Americans spend $33 billion dollars per year on products for weight-loss. Patients may fall prey to the newest fad diets, which often promise dramatic weight loss despite being largely untested. It is important that patients know the truth about dieting, and that we are able to guide their choices.98% of people who lose weight gain it back within 5 years90% of people who lose weight gain back more weight than they originally lost Only 5 -10% of dieters maintain weight loss > 10% of baseline weight Why do diets fail? People revert back to old habits after diet ends Many diets are not sustainable Deprivation leads to bingeing Dieters continue to rely on internal cues. Sustainable weight loss is often the result of a lifestyle change and not a \"\"diet\"\" with a start and end date connected to it. A recent Consumer Report rated popular diet books and plans and provided common sense tips for sustainable weight loss: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/food/diet-nutrition/diets/diets-6-07/overview/0607_diets_ov.htm. Teens who are tempted to lose weight by adopting one of the fad diets should read the information at this web site: http://www.youngwomenshealth.org/fad_diets.html.

Kidney stones can contain various components. The most common type of stone contains calcium in combination with either oxalate or phosphate. A less common type of stone is caused by an infection in the urinary tract. This type of stone is called a struvite or infection stone. Another type of stone, uric acid stones, are less common, and cystine stones are rare. It is not completely understood as to why kidney stones form. The single biggest factor in the formation of kidney stones is diet. Certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, and a person with a family history of kidney stones may be more likely to develop them. Urinary tract infections, kidney disorders such as cystic kidney diseases, and certain metabolic disorders are also linked to stone formation."

"text": "Download Free DASH Diet Cookbook With Weekly Meal Plan ( Download The Free Sample)What is the DASH Diet? DASH stands for: “Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension”. In other words, it’s a way to change your eating habits in order to bring your blood pressure into a healthy range. The DASH diet is based on two scientific studies coordinated by the U. S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute that revealed the importance of lowering your daily sodium intake. ( 1)Did you know that the average American diet includes up to 7,000-10,000 mg of sodium a day? And most of this sodium comes from processed foods and meals eaten on the go. Believe it or not, but the salt shaker only supplies about 10% of the salt in your diet. Why Does the DASH Diet Work? Let’s be perfectly honest, the typical American diet is high in fat, sugar and salt and low in fiber and minerals associated with a healthy blood pressure. That’s why most people don’t get nearly enough potassium, magnesium, and calcium to keep their hearts healthy."

What is the most realistic advice for reducing lead exposure from the tap water used to prepare infant formula? Because the lead in hot water pipes settles out overnight, draw the water from this source first. Whenever possible, boil the water to vaporize the lead and thus decrease the amount remaining in the water. Because the first water drawn from the tap each day is highest in lead, let the water run a few minutes before using it. To inhibit lead absorption, add a small amount of citrus juice to the water to provide citric acid to complex with the lead.

J Fam Pract. 2007 February;56 (2):149-151Author (s): Shobha Rao, MD Manjula Cherukuri, MD Helen G Mayo, MLSAuthor and Disclosure Information PD F PDF Download EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWERIn African Americans with hypertension, therapy is best initiated with the low-sodium Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and a thiazide-type diuretic (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, based on randomized controlled trials). If the blood pressure goal is not achieved with thiazide monotherapy, a calcium channel blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), or a beta-blocker can be added. An initial combination treatment is recommended for patients with systolic blood pressure >15 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >10 mm Hg above target (SOR: C, expert opinion). African Americans have reduced blood pressure responses to monotherapy with beta-blocker, ACE inhibitor, or ARBs when compared to diuretics or calcium channel blockers (SOR: A, randomized controlled trials). However, cardiac and renal indications for prescribing these medications should be equally applied to African American patients (SOR: C, expert opinion). CLINICAL COMMENTARYAfrican Americans respond better to combination ACE inhibitor plus diuretic Mandi Sehgal, MDUniversity of Cincinnati Treat African American patients with hypertension according to the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, and Treatment of High blood Pressure (JNC 7) guidelines. These guidelines state that patients with stage 1 hypertension, regardless of race, should be treated with lifestyle modification (to include a low-salt diet and weight loss) for 3 months. If, after a trial of lifestyle modification, these patients still have hypertension, then start diuretic therapy while continuing lifestyle modifications."

It's designed to keep your stomach and intestines clear and to limit strain to your digestive system while keeping your body hydrated. Risks Because a clear liquid diet can't provide you with adequate calories and nutrients, it shouldn't be used for more than a few days. Only use the clear liquid diet as directed by your doctor. If your doctor prescribes a clear liquid diet before a medical test, be sure to follow the diet instructions exactly. If you don't follow the diet exactly, you risk an inaccurate test and may have to reschedule the procedure for another time. If you have diabetes, talk with your doctor, dietitian or diabetes educator. A clear liquid diet should consist of clear liquids that provide approximately 200 grams of carbohydrate spread equally throughout the day to help manage blood sugar (blood glucose). Blood sugar levels should be monitored and the transition to solid foods should be done as quickly as possible.

Edema is the result of fluid building up in your body. It can happen in any part of your body, but because of the effects of gravity, the fluid usually shows up as painless swelling in your lower extremities. Fluid in this area is called peripheral edema. The old name for edema was dropsy from the Greek word for water, hydrops. The word is no longer used in medicine, but descriptions of dropsy go back to the Ancient Egypt. “Bloodletting, either by venesection or by leaches, was a popular way to alleviate symptoms from dropsy… Its treatment options were scanty and were aimed to cause ‘emptying of the system,’ or to relieve fluid retention.” — Journal of Cardiac Failure View the Parentgiving Picks to help find the right products to help with peripheral edema.

Decades of scientific research have failed to show the benefits of a low-salt diet, and in fact tend to show the opposite. Low-salt (DASH) diets are associated with higher cardiac risk across multiple studies. The primary original study responsible for the \"\"sodium myth\"\" did not control for fructose consumption, which is a major factor contributing to heart disease. All salts are not equal, in terms of their impact on your health. By Dr. Mercola The idea that salt is bad for you and contributes to heart disease is an idea that has become more or less cemented as dogma in the West. Where did this idea come from? And more importantly, is it true? My intention today is to show you the fallacy of the notion that salt is generally bad for you, and how salt has been indicted by so-called nutritional \"\"experts,\"\" as well as by government regulators, without a fair trial. When you look at what the research actually says, I believe you will be convinced that salt is not only relatively benign but is a major nutritional goldmine, IF you consume the right kind."

People over age 50People who have high or slightly elevated blood pressure People who have diabetes African Americans What happens to my body if I eat too much sodium? In most people, the kidneys have trouble keeping up with the excess sodium in the bloodstream. As sodium accumulates, the body holds onto water to dilute the sodium. This increases both the amount of fluid surrounding cells and the volume of blood in the bloodstream. Increased blood volume means more work for the heart and more pressure on blood vessels. Over time, the extra work and pressure can stiffen blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. It can also lead to heart failure. There is also some evidence that too much salt can damage the heart, aorta, and kidneys without increasing blood pressure, and that it may be bad for bones, too. High blood pressure is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease."

In other words, it’s a way to change your eating habits in order to bring your blood pressure into a healthy range. The DASH diet is based on two scientific studies coordinated by the U. S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute that revealed the importance of lowering your daily sodium intake. ( 1)Did you know that the average American diet includes up to 7,000-10,000 mg of sodium a day? And most of this sodium comes from processed foods and meals eaten on the go. Believe it or not, but the salt shaker only supplies about 10% of the salt in your diet. Why Does the DASH Diet Work? Let’s be perfectly honest, the typical American diet is high in fat, sugar and salt and low in fiber and minerals associated with a healthy blood pressure. That’s why most people don’t get nearly enough potassium, magnesium, and calcium to keep their hearts healthy."

Along with other healthy habits, it can slow or even partially reverse the narrowing of the heart 's arteries and help prevent further complications. You can help a loved one who has heart disease by adopting a diet that curbs LDL (''bad'') cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, and helps with weight loss. The best strategy: Focus on what the person with heart disease can eat, not just what's off-limits. Research shows that adding heart-saving foods is just as important as cutting back on others. These nine strategies will help you plan meals for someone with heart disease:1. Serve more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. Just about everyone could stand to eat more plant-based foods. They're rich in fiber and other nutrients, and they can taste great in a salad, as a side dish, or as an entree.

A person with prediabetes cannot handle sugar as well as they should. Even though diabetes is not full blown, high sugar levels in prediabetes can be causing problems throughout the body. One of the main organs that can be damaged is the kidney. People with prediabetes often have unrecognized chronic kidney disease (CKD), according to new research.

Therefore, this approach made John Mc Afee’s business to get a standing of the most used software on the planet. Sold all his high-priced assets, John Mc Afee moves to live to Belize, where it’s understood that dwelling and expenses aren’t so much high. Nevertheless, his troubles there didn’t cease.

"text": "Iggy Azalea’s post-racial mess: America’s oldest race tale, remixed As a white female rapper mistakes appropriation for artistry, black women remain pushed to the sidelines (UPDATED)Brittney Cooper07.15.2014 • 2:43 PMRecently, my nine year-old nephew came running into the room, eager to find a seat to watch a performance by Iggy Azalea on an awards show. He sat, enraptured by her performance, yelling, “Iggy!” utterly oblivious to the look of chagrin and dismay on my face, as I, too, tuned in to watch this white girl from Australia, turned ATL-style rapper, caricature everything I love about Southern Hip Hop. The look and feeling of chagrin has stayed with me each time I turn on my radio and hear Iggy’s hit song, “Fancy” coming through my speakers. And some of the dismay I feel is at myself, because almost without fail, I immediately start bobbing my head to the beat. Iggy is a protégé of T. I., one of my all-time favorite rappers. Though T. I. is known for Atlanta-style, crunk Southern bravado that is a hallmark of Black culture in that city, according to journalist/blogger Bené Viera, T. I. recently expressed disappointment that “ we’re at a place in America where we still see color. ” Apparently, color is only relevant when he’s talking about racist acts against Black men, but not when he has to think through his complicity in white appropriation of Hip Hop music. As a born-and-raised Southern girl, who believes that lazy summer evenings are best spent with your top back or your sun roof open, bass-heavy music booming through nice speakers, while you slowly make a few blocks through the neighborhood, to see who’s out and what’s poppin,’ I resent Iggy Azalea for her co-optation and appropriation of sonic Southern Blackness, particularly the sonic Blackness of Southern Black women. Everytime she raps the line “tell me how you luv dat,” in her song “Fancy,” I want to scream “I don’t love dat!”"

The DAT, or Dental Admissions Test, is a 90 minute test with 100 questions that determines your aptitude and the likelihood that you will succeed in dental school. Dental programs use the DAT as a guide when considering your application for admission. There is no “cut off” score on the DAT, nor does your score on the DAT indicate whether or not you’ll get into a program. The DAT tests your proficiency in basic biology and both organic and inorganic chemistry as well as problem solving and higher math. Is the DAT a difficult test? Yes, anytime you’re testing on subjects that diverse, the test is going to be tough. But just how well do you need to do to secure a place in a top dental school?

A program like Mc Afee Total Protection doesn’t just use these definitions during scans of your hard drive, but it also uses them as you browse the Internet under regular conditions as well. Having outdated virus definitions may cause the program to miss a malicious website containing spyware or other types of malware, which can then infect your computer. Updating your virus definitions in Mc Afee Total Protection will only take a few short moments of your time. Step 1Verify that the Mc Afee Total Protection software is running on your computer. A small “M” icon appears in the system tray of your computer’s taskbar whenever the program is running. If the “M” icon is not present in this location, use either the Mc Afee desktop icon or the Mc Afee “Start” menu icon to load the program. If the icon does appear in the system tray, double click on it to open the main Mc Afee Total Protection program window. Step 2Click once on the tab labeled “Home” on the left side of the screen. A series of general options in regards to the program will open in the main program window."

Reply I have the same question (55)A. User replied on April 23, 2009A: You can not remove Defender; it is part of the Vista Operating System. Any of the big 3, Norton Trend, and Mcafee leave remnants behind them after you think that you have fully unistalled them. That is the reason for your problem. Post back with the name of the AV that you thought you had fully uninstalled."

"text": "Mc Afee Faulty Definitions Update Quarantine Vista Components GOWindows Vista console IME was detected as PWS-Leg Mir Oct 22, 2008 09:52 GMT · By Lucian Constantin · Share: The Windows Vista console IME was incorrectly tagged by Mc Afee's security products as Trojan PWS-Leg Mir due to a faulty definitions file. The false positive was corrected in a later definitions update. The 5409 DAT files released on October 20, 2008 contained a bad signature that falsely detected a legit Windows Vista component as malware. Due to the faulty signatures, the Mc Afee products quarantined or completely deleted the conime.exe (Windows Vista console IME) file, which they generically detected as belonging to the PWS-Leg Mir Trojan. Mc Afee explains that the false positive resulted because that particular definition is designed to generically detect multiple Trojan-type malicious applications that steal passwords. “ This includes trojans written in multiple HLLs, including MSVC, MSVB and Delphi,” claims Mc Afee. The name of the PWS-Leg Mir.gen or PWS-Leg Mir.gen.b comes from the fact that in addition to stealing password from various locations on the system, the trojans which are detected under this signature also steal information for the Legend of Mir computer game if the game is installed on a compromised machine. Mc Afee fixed this problem by releasing the 5410 DAT files the next day, on October 21. The new signature successfully corrected the issue and the affected users were able to restore the legit file. “ The 5409 DAT files contain an incorrect identification on PWS-Leg Mir."

"text": "Substantial Completion: When exactly does it occur? Wednesday, 21 November, 2012 16:47Written by J. Mason Williams IV4 Comments When an owner decides to build something, he or she usually decides that he or she wants it completely finished, okay the owner always wants it completely finished. But is the owner guaranteed that? Probably not. Now does that mean a contractor can walk away from a job after placing the concrete building slab, highly doubtful. The owner is typically guaranteed “Substantial Completion,” which is usually, and should be, defined in a contract. Substantial completion is similar to the general contract principle of substantial performance, but is more specific to the construction industry. Substantial completion is the point where the owner can make use of the building or facility and ordinarily only minor work remains, i.e., punch list items. Section A.9.8.1 of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines substantial completion as:the stage in the progress of the Work when the Work or designated portion thereof is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Contract Documents so that the Owner can occupy or utilize the Work for its intended use. This language may be a starting point for contracts, but it should be reviewed in each contract, especially if the work involved is anything unique or unusual."

Failure to perform as specified when performance is due Unwillingness or Inability to Perform (‘repudiation’ or ‘renunciation’) REASON IS IRRELEVANTPerformance means exact or precise performance, not substantial performance2. Only reasonable efforts have to be made to satisfy a term.3. A breach cannot occur until a promise has become due. But breach may be manifest before performance is due (repudiation) i.e. there may be an order of obligations and an obligation is conditional upon the other party performing their obligations A problem can occur when a breach occurs midway in these tit-for-tat contracts Need to determine The point at which the contract stops What performance has fallen due at that stage and what hasn’t It may be that one party gets some benefit but is absolved because it didn’t get to their turn. BUT sometimes, a duty to perform does not depend on what the other party does (tenancy contract) – so tenant can’t refuse to pay the rent because the house is in poor repair.

"text": "Canada Pension Plan (CPP) – Disability Benefits Note: Portions of the following may need to be updated due to changes in legislation Section 42 (2) (a) of the Canada Pension Act says in part: When person deemed disabled (2) For the purposes of this Act, (a) a person shall be considered to be disabled only if he is determined in prescribed manner to have a severe and prolonged mental or physical disability, and for the purposes of this paragraph, (i) a disability is severe only if by reason thereof the person in respect of whom the determination is made is incapable regularly of pursuing any substantially gainful occupation, and (ii) a disability is prolonged only if it is determined in prescribed manner that the disability is likely to be long continued and of indefinite duration or is likely to result in death; and (b) a person shall be deemed to have become or to have ceased to be disabled at such time as is determined in the prescribed manner to be the time when the person became or ceased to be, as the case may be, disabled, but in no case shall a person be deemed to have become disabled earlier than fifteen months before the time of the making of any application in respect of which the determination is made. Each one of these words have their own meaning in Canada Pension Plan disability benefit claims. The disability has to be severe – as defined as the claimant must be “incapable regularly of pursuing any substantially gainful occupation”. Substantially gainful occupation has been defined by the Canada Pension Plan as being able to earn an amount equivalent to the the maximum monthly CPP retirement pension. As of January 2012, the maximum monthly CPP retirement pension is $986.67. Introduction The Canada Pension Plan pays disability benefits to contributors who become disabled and are no longer able to work. Section 42 of the Canada Pension Plan Act defines a person as disabled:“only if he is determined in prescribed manner to have a severe and prolonged mental or physical disability, and …a disability is severe only if by reason thereof the person … is incapable of pursuing any substantially gainful occupation, anda disability is prolonged only if it is determined in a prescribed manner that the disability is likely to be long continued and of indefinite duration or is likely to result in death. ”Minimum Qualifying Period There are minimum contribution requirements which must be met in applying for disability benefits. The contribution test must be met at the time the disability commenced and not at the time of application. The general rule for persons whose disability commenced after January 1, 1998 is that contributions are required in four of the last six calendar years on earnings that are at least 10 % of the year’s maximum pensionable earnings ($36,900 in 1998).

"text": "Defamation solicitors at Taylor Hampton explain the development of the new “serious harm” requirement under the Defamation Act 2013, which arose from the firm’s involvement in the landmark Thornton v Telegraph Media Group case. The first step in suing for defamation is establishing that the statement was defamatory. There is no single definition of what is meant by “defamatory”. Prior to the Defamation Act 2013 coming into force in January 2014, the answer was to be found wholly in case law. The Thornton “threshold”In Thornton v Telegraph Media Group Ltd [2010] EWHC 1414 (QB), a review of Dr Thornton’s book accused her of the practice of “copy approval” in interviews, a practice disapproved of by journalists, and of dishonestly claiming that she had carried out an interview as part of her research. Tugendhat J endorsed the submission that whatever definition of “defamatory” is adopted, the words complained of must pass a “threshold of seriousness, so as to exclude trivial claims”. Building on the House of Lords decision in Sim v Stretch (1936) 52 TLR 669, the Judge held that the publication must substantially affect in an adverse manner the attitude of other people towards the Claimant, or have a tendency so to do. Dr Thornton succeeded both in relation to her libel and malicious falsehood claims. A “real and substantial” tort Trivial cases will be struck out on the basis of abuse of process if there is very little at stake. The Court of Appeal in Jameel (Yousef) v Dow Jones & Co Inc [2005] EWCA Civ 75 established that there needs to be a real and substantial tort within the jurisdiction for a defamation claim to be made."

"text": "Applying for Disability in New Jersey How to apply, meet filing requirements, and the criteria to qualify for Benefits in NJApproval and Denial Statistics for Disability Claims in New Jersey Note: If you have already filed a claim and been denied for disability, or are wondering what to do in the event of a Social Security denial, proceed to the reconsideration and hearing appeal sections below. Level I: Disability Application - A claim for disability in New Jersey will typically have approximately a 30 percent chance of being approved. In an average year, the denial rate at the application level may border on 70 percent for all claims filed. For this reason, claimants should prepare for the possibility of having to file at least one appeal before winning benefits, though in the majority of cases (since the denial rate is even higher on the first appeal), a claimant will need to file two separate disability appeals. The first appeal is a request for reconsideration which employs the same process of evaluation as the disability application. The second appeal is a request for a disability hearing before an ALJ, or administrative law judge. Filing the disability claim Each application for disability will typically start in a field office, or Social Security office. Claimants do have the option of filing for disability online, or by calling the SSA toll free line to file a claim with the teleclaims center. However, the toll free line is not perceived to be the best choice because it is often a source of incorrect information. And the online process does not allow an SSI claim to be taken."

"text": "How long does it take to get a hearing decision and to start collecting Social Security Disability or SSI benefits? By Kay Derochie / February 18, 2018 / How To Win Your SSDI Hearing / 2874 Comments Find out how long you’ll wait for a decision after your hearing and, if approved, when you will start collecting Social Security Disability benefits. Listen to this When to Request a Hearing Before you can begin collecting Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits, you must receive a favorable or partially favorable medical decision on your disability claim, meaning you have to be found disabled under Social Security law, that is you must be “unable t o engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than twelve months. ”If your initial claim was denied and you either filed a reconsideration appeal and it was denied or you live in one of the few parts of the country that does not have reconsideration appeal level and you believe you are disabled according to Social Security law and want to pursue your claim, your next step is to request a hearing on SSA-501 form. You must file your hearing request within sixty days of receiving the prior denial, which is considered to be sixty-five days from the date on the written denial notice. ( An extra five days is allowed for the notice to reach you through the mail.) This means that Social Security must receive your request within sixty-five days. Advertisement How Long You Will Wait to Get a Social Security or SSI Hearing Date Although the window for filing the hearing request is short, the wait for being assigned a hearing date ranges from long to very long—typically twelve to eighteen months and in some areas as much as two years. The variation in wait times from one Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR), aka hearing office, to another is related to how many hearing requests are processed through a specific hearing office and the number of judges available in each office. Social Security publishes a list of statistics on the hearing date wait periods for all the hearing offices."

( July 2013)A going concern is a business that functions without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future, usually regarded as at least within 12 months. It implies for the business the basic declaration of intention to keep running its activities at least for the next year, which is a basic assumption to prepare financial statements considering the conceptual framework of the IFRS. Hence, the declaration of going concern means that the entity has neither the intention nor the need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of its operations.

"text": "What Are Restricted Stocks & Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)By Mark Cussen Posted in: Stocks Share Tweet Pin Comments Restricted stock and restricted stock units (RSUs) have become a popular choice for many firms that wish to reward employees with a share of ownership in the company without the administrative complexity of traditional stock option plans . Restricted stock plans have shown themselves to be more beneficial than their traditional counterparts in the sense that it is not possible for the stock to become worthless, as it is for options or rights. But while restricted stock and RSUs are similar in many respects, most employers tend to favor RSUs. This is because they allow companies to defer the issuance of actual shares to participants for a period of time. What Is Restricted Stock? Restricted stock is stock that, as the name implies, comes with certain restrictions on its issuance and sale by the employer. This type of stock should not be confused with the other category of restricted securities that are issued to corporate executives under SEC Rule 144, which prohibits insider trading. Restricted stock can be issued to any type of employee in a company, and its issuance and administration are not governed by Rule 144, per se. However, restricted stock is a separate entity from qualified retirement plans, such as a 401k, that fall under ERISA regulations. It does not receive tax-advantaged treatment of any kind the way qualified plans do."

Most charities couldn't exist without fundraising to bring in the money they need to carry out their exempt purposes. At the same time, many organizations are not aware of the tax implications that come along with the fundraising activities they participate in. Today we'll briefly discuss ways that organizations raise money and review the important tax rules associated with each. Laurice: Charities raise funds in a variety of ways. The IRS Form 990 instructions lists soliciting in person, by phone, direct mail, email and the Internet as well as soliciting both government and non-governmental grants - and conducting special fundraising events. But the tax law doesn't explicitly restrict the type or amount of fundraising that an exempt organization may conduct. Some typical fundraising events might include: dinners/dances, door-to-door sales of merchandise, concerts, carnivals, sports events, and auctions. And as budgets have gotten tighter and fundraising tougher, many organizations have created new kinds of fundraising activities."

"text": "When “Substantial Completion” Means Actual Completion By Manager on August 7, 2013 in Business, Construction, Contracts Do you know when your last project was substantially complete? Most contractors would probably agree that substantial completion is not actual completion. A recent Oregon Court of Appeals case, however, shed light on the meaning of “substantial completion” under Oregon’s statute of repose (ORS 12.135) for construction claims. A statute of repose is similar to a statute of limitations, but sets an ultimate deadline on when someone can bring a claim based upon a certain event, regardless of when the damage occurred. For example, if an owner discovers a construction defect in high-rise office building in downtown Portland, the owner has six-years (statute of limitation) from the date of discovering the defect (when the damage occurred) and has ten-years (statute of repose) from the date that the high-rise was substantially completed (the event) to bring a claim against the contractor. In PIH Beaverton, LLC v. Super One, Inc., the owner of a Washington County hotel brought a claim against the general contractor and subcontractors who constructed the hotel from 1995-1997. The owner, VIP’S Motor Inns, contracted Super One as the general contractor to perform the construction of the new hotel and to perform site work around the property. On February 13, 1997, VIP’S filed a “Notice of Completion” of the hotel pursuant to Oregon’s lien statute to trigger the 75-day statutory period to file liens. Additionally, on or around February 13, 1997, Washington County issued a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) and VIP’S began accepting guests. After VIP’S obtained TCO, Super One continued to perform some work on the site."

"text": "REAL ESTATERent Commencement and Construction BY CSA STAFF September 24, 2012Get all the latest industry news in your inbox. Email address By Sandra Gold Slon, attorney, Los Angeles-based Troy Gould The relationship between the date rent first becomes due and the date construction of tenant improvements is complete is critical because it directly affects the tenant’s rental cost and the landlord’s income stream. In the current economic climate, landlords are seeking ways to start collecting rent earlier, and tenants are trying to ensure that they are not paying rent before they are able to use their space. These competing needs make it more important than ever that the parties involved understand the definition of the rent commencement date and that it is clearly described in the lease. Who controls construction? A preliminary issue is whether the landlord or the tenant is responsible for the tenant improvements. For the tenant, construction can be a time consuming and frustrating experience. Since the tenant is operating a business at the same time, and doesn’t necessarily know how to efficiently bid, contract and supervise the work, unless it’s a small job or the tenant has a good project manager, it’s generally best to have the landlord manage the process. However, when the landlord handles the construction, there will be a landlord supervision fee (the tenant can try to negotiate the amount) and the landlord may not competitively bid the project, so the cost may be higher. These issues should be taken into account when setting the amount of the tenant improvement allowance."

S., a Class I, II, and III device intended for human use, for which a Premarket Approval application (PMA) is not required, must submit a 510 (k) to FDA unless the device is exempt from 510 (k) requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) and does not exceed the limitations of exemptions in .9 of the device classification regulation chapters (e.g., 21 CFR 862.9, 21 CFR 864.9). There is no 510 (k) form; however, 21 CFR 807 Subpart E describes requirements for a 510 (k) submission. Before marketing a device, each submitter must receive an order, in the form of a letter, from FDA which finds the device to be substantially equivalent (SE) and states that the device can be marketed in the U. S. This order \"\"clears\"\" the device for commercial distribution. A 510 (k) is a premarket submission made to FDA to demonstrate that the device to be marketed is at least as safe and effective, that is, substantially equivalent, to a legally marketed device (21 CFR 807.92 (a) (3)) that is not subject to PMA. Submitters must compare their device to one or more similar legally marketed devices and make and support their substantial equivalence claims. A legally marketed device is a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (preamendments device), or a device which has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, a device which has been found SE through the 510 (k) process, or a device that was granted marketing authorization via the De Novo classification process under section 513 (f) (2) of the FD&C Act that is not exempt from premarket notification requirements. The legally marketed device (s) to which equivalence is drawn is commonly known as the \"\"predicate.\"\" Although devices recently cleared under 510 (k) are often selected as the predicate to which equivalence is claimed, any legally marketed device may be used as a predicate. Legally marketed also means that the predicate cannot be one that is in violation of the Act. Until the submitter receives an order declaring a device SE, the submitter may not proceed to market the device."

It uses a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated three-dimensional solid models that explicitly describes nominal geometry and its allowable variation. It tells the manufacturing staff and machines what degree of accuracy and precision is needed on each controlled feature of the part. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect) geometry of parts and assemblies, to define the allowable variation in form and possible size of individual features, and to define the allowable variation between features. Dimensioning specifications define the nominal, as-modeled or as-intended geometry. One example is a basic dimension. Tolerancing specifications define the allowable variation for the form and possibly the size of individual features, and the allowable variation in orientation and location between features. Two examples are linear dimensions and feature control frames using a datum reference (both shown above). There are several standards available worldwide that describe the symbols and define the rules used in GD&T. One such standard is American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Y14.5-2009. This article is based on that standard, but other standards, such as those from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), may vary slightly."

An approximate definition of sea level is the datum WGS 84, an ellipsoid, whereas a more accurate definition is Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008), using at least 2,159 spherical harmonics. Other datums are defined for other areas or at other times; ED50 was defined in 1950 over Europe and differs from WGS 84 by a few hundred meters depending on where in Europe you look. Mars has no oceans and so no sea level, but at least two martian datums have been used to locate places there. Datums are used in geodesy, navigation, and surveying by cartographers and satellite navigation systems to translate positions indicated on maps (paper or digital) to their real position on Earth. Each starts with an ellipsoid (stretched sphere), and then defines latitude, longitude and altitude coordinates. One or more locations on the Earth's surface are chosen as anchor \"\"base-points\"\". The difference in co-ordinates between datums is commonly referred to as datum shift. The datum shift between two particular datums can vary from one place to another within one country or region, and can be anything from zero to hundreds of meters (or several kilometers for some remote islands). The North Pole, South Pole and Equator will be in different positions on different datums, so True North will be slightly different."

This could even be .0000, if your readings were something like this (assuming x and y were grid coordinates and z was the height gage reading): point #1 - x=.0000; y=.0000; z=.2010; point #2 - x=.0000; y=.5000; z=.2010; point #3 - x=.0000; y=1.0000; z=.2010; point #4 - x=.5000; y=.0000; z=.2012; point #5 - x=.5000; y=.5000; z=.2012; point #6 - x=.5000; y=1.0000; z=.2012; point #7 - x=.0000; y=.0000; z=.2014; point #8 - x=1.0000; y=.5000; z=.2014; point #9 - x=1.0000; y=1.0000; z=.2014.

"text": "Levelling August 30, 2015 B. C. Punmia Surveying 0Levelling ( or Leveling) is a branch of surveying, the object of which is: i) to find the elevations of given points with respect to a given or assumed datum, and ii) to establish points at a given or assumed datum. The first operation is required to enable the works to be designed while the second operation is required in the setting out of all kinds of engineering works. Levelling deals with measurements in a vertical plane. Level surface: A level surface is defined as a curved surface which at each point is perpendicular to the direction of gravity at the point. The surface of a still water is a truly level surface. Any surface parallel to the mean spheroidal surface of the earth is, therefore, a level surface. Level line: A level line is a line lying in a level surface. It is, therefore, normal to the plumb line at all points. Horizontal plane: Horizontal plane through a point is a plane tangential to the level surface at that point. It is, therefore, perpendicular to the plumb line through the point."

The two methods of using Position discussed on this page will be RFS or Regardless of Feature Size and under a material condition ( Maximum Material Condition or Least Material Condition ).

Many people refer to the symbol as “True” Position, although this would be slightly incorrect. The Position tolerance is the GD&T symbol and tolerance of location. The True Position is the exact coordinate, or location defined by basic dimensions or other means that represents the nominal value. In other words the GD&T “Position” Tolerance is how far your features location can vary from its “True Position”."

So just for clarity, when i inspect a part (forging) can i just utilize the areas noted as Datum's or do i need to base off the datum target points used to establish the datum's? i figure the datum's are fine since the datum targets are used by the manufacturer to establish these datum's...but then i wonder is this correct if i want to verify the forgings are good? There's an attached drawing (not a complete drawing) to help clarify my question (its cylindrical in shape) thank you as always Belanger (Automotive) 21 Dec 10 13:42Hi -- you really do need to set up on the exact targets, rather than just the full surface. A traditional datum (if you only used the type circled in red) would feel the highest points. But the datum target idea is to feel only the specified points, and this can result in a different zero plane, and result in different measurements. John-Paul Belanger Certified Sr. GD&T Professional Geometric Learning Systemsptruitt (Mechanical) 21 Dec 10 13:47Since it seems that you do not have an inspection procedure to follow, you are in a tough spot.

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

"text": "ARC Home | Writing a manuscript Editing Tip: Scientific Names of Species Summary To help you understand the correct use of scientific species names, here are a few key terms and conventions that may appear in your journal’s guidelines for authors. Subscribe to our resources: The effective communication of research results depends on the correct use of scientific nomenclature, including the names of biological species. To help you understand the correct use of scientific species names, here are a few key terms and conventions that may appear in your journal’s guidelines for authors: Genus and species The scientific nomenclature of biological species clearly identifies the organism named and the person who first named the species. The genus (always capitalized) and the species (not capitalized) are given in italics. For example, the Philippine brown deer is Rusa marianna, and the dove tree, found in parts of China, is Davidia involucrata. When the same name is used more than once in a paper, the first letter of the genus (still capitalized) may be used as an abbreviation in the second and subsequent uses of the name, but the rest of the name is not abbreviated ( R. marianna, D. involucrata ). In particular, the name is commonly written out in full when it first appears in the abstract and then abbreviated in the rest of the abstract using the convention shown above. The name is again written out in full when it first appears in a subsequent section of the paper (typically, the introduction) and is then abbreviated upon further use. Some journals may request a different convention for abbreviating the genus name upon subsequent use, so be sure to check the journal’s guidelines to see whether a particular usage is requested. In a few fields of study, two-letter abbreviations are used (i.e., Ae."

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

"text": "\"Days to Cover and Short Squeezes Definition of Days to Cover< span class=\"\"dropcap\"\"><a href=\"\"/blog/days-to-cover/\"\">Days to cover is a formula which tracks the number of shares short in the market relative to the available float . This allows a trader to see how bearish or bullish traders are on a security. The last component of the ratio is the amount of daily volume . If you know the number of shares short and compare that to the average daily volume, you can estimate how long it would take for the short sellers to exit their positions. This ratio gives a trader a rough estimate of how much buying pressure is present in the market for a security. Formula for Days to Cover The below formula displays how to calculate the days to cover ratio: Learn to Day Trade the Right Way:: See how you can learn to to trade stocks, futures and bitcoin risk-free. Days to Cover Formula Where to find Short Interest Data Short interest data is tracked daily by the major exchanges, but is only released bi-weekly to the public. The best place to find the days to cover data is http://www.shortsqueeze.com/ . The site has a simple tool that works like a ticker where you type in a symbol and it returns the days to cover information and a number of other ratios.

"text": "\"Introduction to Macroeconomics Macroeconomics is the study of the aggregate performance of the economy. The unemployment rate, which measures the ratio of the number of people unsuccessfully looking for work to the total labor force, is one important indicator. Another key macroeconomic indicator is the the rate of inflation, which you will recall is the average rate of change of the prices for all goods and services. The theory of economic growth, which we covered as our first major topic in this course, explains the growth of potential output, assuming that the economy's resources are fully utilized. However, economies have spent long periods of time operating below potential, giving rise to the issues of macroeconomics. Although the Great Depression of the 1930's was not the first business cycle downturn, it was dramatic in terms of its severity, particularly in contrast with the prosperity of the previous decade. In the middle of this crisis, British economist John Maynard Keynes created a new theoretical framework that became the basis for what we teach as macroeconomics. Prior to Keynes, what theories there were about unemployment offered little guidance for how to cure it. Keynes showed how the government can use budget policy and monetary policy to prevent the sort of long, severe slump that occurred in the 1930's. Macroeconomics is filled with controversy."

Harley and Arthur Davidson opened up a motor-bicycle shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By 1904, Harley and Davidson had manufactured their first motorcycle, which took 4th place in the Milwaukee motorcycle race. Surged with confidence, the two friends opened up a factory in 1906. As time went on, the duo continued to improve their designs. At the start of World War I, the government hired Harley-Davidson to produce motorcycles adapted for combat service. Altogether, Harley-Davidson produced 15,000 bikes for the military during the war. After WWI came the Great Depression, and with it came the closing of all but two motorcycle manufacturers."

"text": "Iron Condors can be fantastic trades. But you need to be very aware of all four positions in your trade and monitor their progress to expiration. You must be absolutely clear on the expectations and obligations you are responsible for each option position. Trading options can seriously turn against you. In an Iron Condor trade, you are combining both a Bull & Bear Credit Spread. Meaning you sell an OTM Call & buy a further OTM Call and you also sell an OTM Put & buy a further OTM Put, all same expiration date. Both of these spreads should yield you a net credit, which is your maximum upside. You win this trade by having the underlying stock, ETF, etc. close between your short Call & Short Put strike prices at expiration. If the underlying has moved beyond the strike price of either your short Call or short Put, you may end up taking a loss on this position or worse, being assigned the underlying position per your obligation as an option writer."

"text": "\"Marketing Your Pop-Up Shop Pt. 1The old saying “if you build it, they will come,” is long outdated and far from the truth when it comes to surviving in today’s retail environment. When you’re doing a pop-up shop, you have a little bit more of an edge. You can entice consumers with the appeal of being temporary, here for a short time period, and hope to have their attention with the “here today, gone tomorrow” appeal of a pop-up. There’s no arguing that one the biggest draws to a pop-up shop is its temporary nature, but even that might not be enough to ensure your success. If you’re going to invest the time and effort to scout and secure a location, put in your best foot forward by ensuring your merchandise displays, layout, signage, and window display are all top notch, then you’re going to have to pull all the stops when it comes to marketing and promoting your pop-up shop. It’s also going to have to be a mix of traditional marketing channels as well as all the latest digital channels and tying them all together into an integrated marketing plan that’ll ensure consistency of your brand and draw attention to your story. The first thing to remember when trying to market your pop-up is that you need to bake in elements of virality into your temporary retail event. This means a high degree of event programming, a fair bit of reaching out to influencers in your niche, an effective media outreach strategy, and using social media throughout to amplify your reach. Let’s start with event programming, or how you can use events to build up anticipation, exclusivity, and more than enough attention throughout the term of your pop-up shop."

Click on the term you want to read the definition to A1Annual Percentage Rate (APR)The annual percentage rate (APR) is a yearly rate, expressed as a percentage, that is charged for borrowing money, or accrued by investing money. This rate represents the cost of the amount borrowed over the term of the loan. Any additional costs or fees that are associated with this loan will be included in the APR. At first glance, credit card agreements and loan terms can be confusing. There can be a variance in transaction fees, interest rate structure, and penalties. The APR is a standardized calculation that gives the borrower that absolute bottom line amount for which they are responsible. This information can then be used to compare rates and find the best options with potential lenders. Credit card companies and lenders are required by law to disclose the APR to customers, and give clear detail on the actual rates applied to their agreements. You will often see credit card companies advertising low monthly interest rates, but they must also disclose the APR (example: 1.9% per month over 12 months = 22.8% APR) before any agreements are signed."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Finance Markets [show]Instruments [show]Corporate [show]Personal [show]Public [show]Banks and banking [show]Regulation · Standards [show]Economic history [show]v t e In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized forward contract, a legal agreement to buy or sell something at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future. The asset transacted is usually a commodity or financial instrument. The predetermined price the parties agree to buy and sell the asset for is known as the forward price. The specified time in the future—which is when delivery and payment occur—is known as the delivery date. Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product. Contracts are negotiated at futures exchanges, which act as a marketplace between buyers and sellers. The buyer of a contract is said to be long position holder, and the selling party is said to be short position holder. [ 1] As both parties risk their counter-party walking away if the price goes against them, the contract may involve both parties lodging a margin of the value of the contract with a mutually trusted third party. For example, in gold futures trading, the margin varies between 2% and 20% depending on the volatility of the spot market. [ 2]The first futures contracts were negotiated for agricultural commodities, and later futures contracts were negotiated for natural resources such as oil."

"text": "\"EDUCATION | Jun 19 2007, 08:49 GMTVolume and Open Interest: How to Use it to Trade More Effectively FXStreet Futures volume and open interest are significant factors to monitor when trading futures, for several reasons. First, let's define the two terms. Open interest is the total number of futures or options on futures contracts that have not yet been offset or fulfilled by delivery. It is an indicator of the depth or liquidity of a futures market, which influences the ability to buy or sell at or near a given price. Open interest can be a tricky concept, especially for beginners. In a nutshell, here's how open interest is calculated: If a new buyer (a long) and new seller (a short) enter a trade, open interest increases by one. However, if a trader already holding a long position sells to a new trader wanting to initiate a long position, open interest remains the same. And if a trader holding a long position sells to a trader wanting to get rid of his existing short position, open interest decreases by one. Volume is the number of transactions in a futures or options on futures contract made during a specified period of time. It is usually recorded for one trading session."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages to Leasing a Car?e Bay 1 Like Like March 25, 2014Leasing a car is one popular way to get a ride without having to pay full price. Since the lessee only gets the use of the car for a few years, the monthly payments are lower than if buying the car new. A leased car fits much better into a monthly budget. But depending on what the would-be lessee wants, a car lease could end up being a bad deal overall. Deciding whether or not to lease a car involves looking at the entire financial package, including total payments and extra fees, as well as looking at what the lessee actually gets for his or her money. It is important that drivers know the advantages and disadvantages of leasing as well as an overview of all the ways a person can get access to a vehicle: buying, leasing, renting, and using a car-sharing service. If leasing is the right option, potential lessees should know how to lease a car and get a good rate. Leasing a car is neither right nor wrong across the board. Instead, leasing is a good option for some people and less optimal for others. It is up to the would-be lessee to decide whether leasing a car works for his or her situation and interests."

Jefferson became America ’s first secretary of state, its second vice president and, from 1800-1808, the third president of the United States . He was responsible for pushing through the Louisiana Purchase , which more than doubled the size of the American nation. A man of strong idealism, he was an early advocate of the total separation of church and state and for the duration of his life the most eloquent American proponent for the preservation of individual freedom as the core meaning of the American Revolution. He was a staunch enemy not only of foreign imperialism and despotism, but opposed a strong central government (advocated by the Federalists) as a return to the abuses which the Revolution had defeated. A man of many and varied talents, he was also an inventor and scientist, a passionate lover of music and literature and a distinguished architect. He was both the architect and founder of the University of Virginia . An Astrorayological Overview Although Jefferson can easily be linked to the first ray through his ongoing interest in government, his unspectacular manner, his preference for working largely through the written word and in committee, and his intelligent and versatile power of manifestation upon the physical plane link him, arguably, more closely to the seventh ray and the Department of Master R., just a Benjamin Franklin can be similarly linked."

Supporting the Possibility: KCR is still 62 yrs old. When we have a 90+ yr old person and being a front-runner for CM for a South State, KCR still has long way to go, provided, he does not spoil his health and lives long enough Three years more for the term. I do not see any miracles happening around that a strong opposing contender rising with in these three years KCR is still talking Water, Jobs and electricity.

"text": "\"Pythagoreanism First published Wed Mar 29, 2006; substantive revision Fri Oct 31, 2014Pythagoreanism can be defined in a number of ways. ( 1) Pythagoreanism is the philosophy of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras (ca. 570 – ca. 490 BCE), which prescribed a highly structured way of life and espoused the doctrine of metempsychosis (transmigration of the soul after death into a new body, human or animal). ( 2) Pythagoreanism is the philosophy of a group of philosophers active in the fifth and the first half of the fourth century BCE, whom Aristotle refers to as “the so-called Pythagoreans” and to whom Plato also refers. Aristotle's expression, “so-called Pythagoreans,” suggests both that at his time this group of thinkers was commonly called Pythagoreans and, at the same time, calls into question the actual connection between these thinkers and Pythagoras himself. Aristotle ascribes no specific names to these Pythagoreans, but the philosophy which he assigns to them is very similar to what is found in the fragments of Philolaus of Croton (ca. 470-ca. 390 BCE). Thus, Philolaus and his successor Eurytus are likely to have been the most prominent of these Pythagoreans."

By Stephen Beale • March 20, 2017Tweetillustration by Michael Hogue Forget Reagan, Nixon, and Jackson. Trump’s real presidential forbearer is Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt—a career politician who sought military service, an avid outdoorsman who hunted elephants and explored the Amazon, and an intellectually curious historian who dabbled in anthropology and zoology—might seem an unlikely model for Trump. But in terms of policy, the parallels are legion. On trade, Roosevelt was—like most Republicans then and Trump now—a proud protectionist. “ Thank God I am not a free-trader. In this country pernicious indulgence in the doctrine of free trade seems inevitably to produce a fatty degeneration of the moral fibre,” Roosevelt wrote in an 1895 letter to his friend Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Roosevelt was also a committed immigration restrictionist."

In a First Past the Post system, sometimes known as a plurality single-member district system, the winner is the candidate with the most votes, but not necessarily an absolute majority of the votes. When this system is used in multi-member districts it becomes the Block Vote. Voters have as many votes as there are seats to be filled, and the highest-polling candidates fill the positions, regardless of the percentage of the vote they actually achieve. Majoritarian systems, such as the Australian Alternative Vote and the French Two-Round System, try to ensure that the winning candidate receives an absolute majority (i.e. over fifty percent). Each system, in essence, makes use of voters' second preferences to produce a majority winner, if one does not emerge from the first round of voting. First Past the Post (FPTP)To date, pure First Past the Post (FPTP) systems are found in the United Kingdom and those countries historically influenced by Britain. Along with the United Kingdom, the most analyzed cases are Canada, India, New Zealand, and the United States of America. However, New Zealand switched to a MMP system of Proportional Representation in 1993 (see New Zealand: A Westminster Democracy Switches to PR ). FPTP is also used by a dozen Caribbean nations; by Belize and formerly Guyana in Latin America; by ten Asian states (including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Malaysia); and by many of the small island nations of the South Pacific."

It is easy to do, just have the pitch change rod apply less pitch as the blade flaps up (increased thrust). The red blade below will flap about the diagonal line (where the hinge bolts are). That means as the blade lifts it has its feathering washed out, and the thrust is reduced."

Others use them to give the impression of being a larger company or attract target consumers. Using a DBA title offers certain advantages to restaurant and catering professionals applying to food establishments. Food Service Consultants Seasoned restaurant and catering management professionals sometimes take on freelance positions as food and beverage industry consultants. Such industry professionals typically travel from facility to facility evaluating products, budgets, and food service operation and management procedures. Using assumed business names helps lend credibility to their services. For instance, applying to a food establishment as \"\"Robinson Restaurant Consultants\"\" sounds more professional than \"\"Jack Robinson,\"\" and makes the consultant sound more like a large company rather than an individual service provider.

Legal Requirements In order to operate a business under a fictitious name, you must register that name with the clerk of court in the county where you are operating, or with the agency responsible for keeping track of businesses operating in your state. In most cases, this is the office of the Secretary of State or Division of Corporations, or similar regulatory body. State laws require that a DBA name must not be identical to another DBA that is already registered, or resemble an operating DBA with the intention to deceive the public. File a DBA for your business online. Get Started Now Multiple Residences Any company that wishes to operate a business under an alias or assumed name must register that name with each state in which it will be doing business. The registration of a DBA does not cross state lines; therefore, it is not sufficient to register a DBA only in the business's home state if the business is operating in another state."

What Is A Trade Name (DBA) And How To File One Trade name (also called \"\"fictitious business name\"\", \"\"assumed name\"\", or DBA for \"\"doing business as\"\") is a legal way to do business under a particular name that you file with the state, county, or in some cases local municipality.

Trade name can be registered by any business, including sole proprietorships, general partnerships, as well as organized and incorporated entities such as LLCs, corporations, nonprofits and limited partnerships. KEEP IN MIND: a DBA is just an alias, hence by itself it is not an actual business entity. It must belong and be associated with a specific legal entity.

Other terms for DBA include \"\"fictitious name,\"\" \"\"assumed name,\"\" and \"\"trade name.\"\" Laws vary among jurisdictions, and you must learn the laws in your area. In general, the goals of DBA laws are to reduce confusion and increase transparency about the purposes and ownership of businesses. DBA Statements Jurisdictions that require businesses to make a statement about their intent to use a DBA typically require the owner to fill out a form. Often this takes place at the county level. You may also need to pay a fee. You must usually identify your company's legal name and the proposed DBA name. In our earlier example, the legal name of the plumbing business would be the sole proprietor's name, Joe Gomes, and the DBA name would be Speedy Plumbing."

Note that I’ll be using DBA and Fictitious Business Name interchangeably throughout this article. The DBA or Fictitious Business Name designation was created as a form of consumer protection, to prevent unscrupulous business owners from operating under a different name to avoid legal trouble. When a business files a DBA, it’s typically printed in the local newspaper, so the community can see who is behind the business. Who needs to file a DBA? There are two circumstances when your business needs to file a DBA registration:1: If you are a sole proprietor or general partnership conducting business using a name that’s different from your own name."

The Jemalong project near Forbes, in western NSW, will be the first in Australia to integrate storage into a stand-alone solar power station and provide electricity to the grid, on demand at night as well as day. And, Vast Solar CEO Andrew Want suggests, it will be able to do it for around the same cost of wind energy. The company is already working on plans for larger plants, including a 30MW facility with four hours storage, but its ability to do that in Australia is now compromised because the Abbott government is removing the institutions (the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency) that could help finance those first commercial-scale plants. Want says the company is looking for opportunities in NSW and other sun-rich states such as Queensland, WA, and South Australia, but it is also looking at international markets such as the Middle East, US, Africa, South America and India, where such plants are being built. CST technology with storage – and the ability to dispatch electricity on demand – is seen as a crucial component of future grids that will feature large amounts of variable generation from wind and solar PV. The International Energy Agency last week predicted that CST plus storage could account for 11 per cent of the world’s electricity needs by 2050. The key is bringing down costs. Vast Solar CEO Andrew Want said the company set out five years ago to develop a low-cost, high performance CST system that could compete commercially. “"

Quench (or squish, or \"\"squench\"\") is sometimes referred to as mechanical octane. It decreases the need for octane by promoting a more homogeneous air/fuel charge in the combustion chamber and it also helps promote flame travel. [ edit]Quench vs. squish The terms quench and squish are often used interchangeably. But they actually have different technical meanings. Quench also refers to the passing of heat from the combustion chamber into the surrounding metal, some of which finds its way into the cooling system. The more quench that is in effect, the more heat passes into the cooling system and vise versa. On one hand, having a quench-type combustion chamber and piston shape and tight quench distance may be looked at as a detriment to power production (heat IS energy, after all). But in the case of the IC engines we are working with, the loss of heat energy is more than offset by the decrease in the tendency to encounter detonation- which will kill power at a much greater rate and amount than the loss of some combustion chamber heat to the quench effect.

Besides flood risk management, another significant benefit of the dam is that the 4,384-acre reservoir area provides open space for public recreation. Since 1976, the Corps of Engineers has leased most of the reservoir area (4,221 acres) to the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) for recreation and fish and wildlife purposes, including the popular Lake Dennison Campground and Day Use Area. Under the supervision of DCR, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife stocks fish and pheasants and promotes healthy wildlife populations within the reservoir area for public hunting and fishing. Boating There are many paddling opportunities on the Millers River, Otter River and Priest Brook. Electric motors are allowed on 82-acre Lake Dennison and 38-acre Beaver Pond. Please wear your life jacket!Biking The dam entrance road provides easy pedaling for riders of all abilities. For more adventure there are over 25 miles of dirt roads and trails in the reservoir area. Camping DCR provides tent and RV camping at both the Lake Dennison Campground and Otter River State Forest."

Briefly here's our setup Win 7 Enterprise in a domain environemnt Built-in Win 7 firewall has been disabled; No third-party software firewall solutions present Network drives are mapped via net use /persistent:yes, Explorer with reconnect & logon set & via exporting/importing the network drive information from HKCU\\Network We use a login script, however, the login script does not handle the mapping of all of our network drives. This is because we have a number of different departments, who, over the years, used overlapping drive letters and there are some situations where users also overlap departments that use overlapping drive letters. ( This goes back before my time.) So instead, users map their own drives, remember the credentials and reconnect at logon. Furthermore, when users call the Help Desk, the Help Desk uses the '/persistent:yes' switch/parameter when doing mappinv via command line. Not sure if this is relevant, but, when we move users to a new machine, or reimage their machine, we backup & restore the HKCU\\Network key, which houses the mapped connections, to make the transition nearly seamless.

"text": "Inductor Specifications DC Resistance (DCR)The DC Resistance (DCR) specification of an inductor is the amount of resistance that an inductor has for signals with frequencies of or near 0Hz. Inductors are devices that allow DC signals to pass through without almost any impediment, but which block the passing of high-frequency signals. Inductors have very low resistance for low-frequency signals, while displaying very high resistance for signals with high frequencies. The DCR of an inductor is normally very small, ranging from less than 1/100 of 1Ω to a few ohms (usually no greater than 4Ω). The smaller inductor values normally have a lower DCR, while the larger inductor values have a higher one. The DCR of an inductor is measured using DC current. DC current is fed into the inductor and then the resistance can be calculated from the voltage and current in the circuit using R=V/I. The DCR is meant to be minimized in the design of an inductor, meaning it is designed to be kept low. Inductors are not made to block DC signals, so they should have a low DCR. The DCR value in a datasheet is specified as a maximum rating, meaning the value specified in the datasheet is the maximum resistance that it will contain. The DC resistance of the inductor should not exceed the DCR specified."

The main focus of this article will be on a conventional OHV (overhead valve), cam-in-block engine configuration using two valves per cylinder, as shown above. [ edit]The valve train Mechanically speaking, the camshaft is linked to the crankshaft and turns 1/2 the speed of the crank. As the cam turns, the eccentric-shaped cam lobe lifts and lowers a cam follower, or lifter. The lifter is linked to a fulcrum, or rocker arm by a pushrod. The rocker arm directs the motion of the cam lobe to the valve, lifting the valve open and closing it shut with the aid of the valve spring (s) . The shape of the cam lobe dictate when the valve opens and closes in relation to crankshaft position (aka the cam timing ), and how far the valve is opened (aka the valve lift ), as well as how long the valve is open and closed (aka the duration ). This article assumes that the basics of how and what a camshaft does is understood. If further explanation or a refresher is needed, see Camshaft 101: How do cams work?."

"text": "This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Aetiology Presentation Investigation Management The tear film is a complex and important entity that provides corneal lubrication, nourishment and immunological protection among other functions. The air/tear interface is also the most important site of light ray refraction. Tears drain into the upper and lower puncta medially, into their respective canaliculi and then into the common canaliculus. From there, they enter the lacrimal sac (adjacent to the bridge of the nose) and then down into the nasolacrimal duct, to exit just beneath the inferior turbinate. Epiphora is the term commonly used to describe a watery eye. It is one of the most common ophthalmic symptoms. More specifically, lacrimation describes persistent welling of tears in the eye and epiphora occurs when these spill over. It is caused by overproduction of tears or by inadequate or blocked drainage. Lacrimal outflow can be compromised by anatomical obstructions or stenoses (non-functional epiphora) or by defective lacrimal 'pump' function (functional epiphora). [ 1]Patients tend to experience this as a nuisance more than anything else."

IRS Notice 2015-26, \"\"Empowerment Zone Designation Extension,\"\" provided guidance to local areas on how to amend or decline the extension of their Empowerment Zone designation through December 31, 2014, as authorized under the Tax Increase Prevention Act (TIPA) of 2014. On June 15, 2015, IRS issued IR-2015-88, attached below, announcing that all Empowerment Zone designations in effect for 2013 were extended through December 31, 2014 in compliance with TIPA. States with EZs that held the processing or the release of eligibility determinations for the target group individuals residing in the EZs should now process and issue all determinations for the SYE and DCR target groups for new hires in 2014 that were received timely within the transitional relief period set forth by IRS, which ended on April 30, 2015. The hold for these target groups has been lifted, and states should process 2014 requests for certification incorporating their 2013 EZs as effective, valid designations throughout the December 31, 2014 WOTC reauthorization period. IRS Transitional Relief Period for 2014 New Hires IRS just published a notice of transition relief for WOTC, meaning that employers have additional time to submit their requests for 2014 WOTC certification. The relief period allows employers to submit WOTC certification requests until April 30, 2015, if they hired a member of a targeted group between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014. Any State Workforce Agency (SWA) that has already issued denials to an employer that would otherwise have been approved under the transitional relief period should revisit those denials and re-process them, applying the IRS relief period, and reissuing determinations to those employers or consultants. SWAs should only issue a certification, if the certification request otherwise met all other requirements, including that new hires were employed between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, and that the new hire met all the target group's eligibility criteria."

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: It means grab the baby oil!suk_on_my_glock · 1 decade ago2 4 Comment Asker's rating Cup size is the ratio between the circumference of a woman's bust at the widest part and the circumference of her chest below her breasts. So if a woman's bust measures 42 inches, and her band size (under the breasts) is 38 inches, she has a four-inch difference. The letters for cup sizes cover a range of actualy sizes. A DD cup is meant to fit a woman whose breasts are four and a half to six inches bigger around than her band size. That could mean she's got a 42 inch bust and a 36 inch band, or a 42 inch band and a 48 inch bust, etc. For someone of a healthy weight, that does mean pretty large breasts!Source (s):http://www.afraidtoask.com/breast/breastmeasuringcup.html Mekamorph · 1 decade ago4 0 Commentcommonly known as: AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, DD, DDD It's basically how many inches the breast sticks out from the chest. I believe that D is 4 inches, DD is 5, and DDD is 6 (these are the sizes the women in my family wear, so I only know these) It also depends on what size band you have, which is the circumfrence of the chest. For instance, you would add fewer inches the smaller the band width... starting from >32\"\", 34-36\"\", 37-38\"\", <40\"\" For example a D cup on a 38\"\" band is a C cup on a 40\"\" band and a DD on a 36\"\" band."

Just because you measure to fit a specific size band and cup, doesn’t mean that every single style is perfect for your unique breast shape. Here’s a breakdown of the main boob shapes out there and exactly how you should be dressing them!The Minimalist What it is: Your breasts are on the smaller side, and have no natural cleavage. What type of bra you should try: You would think a push-up style would work magic, but unfortunately you’ll probably find the bra will gap away from your chest. A bralette, or demi cup will work best for your breast shape. Like, So Shallow What it is: Shallow breasts, otherwise known as settling breasts, lack volume up top. If you have these babies, you probably experience cleavage pooling and some gaping at the top of your bras. What type of bra you should try: Try a cup with less coverage and wide-set straps. Demi bras cover less of the breast and are usually lightly lined to push up the volume you may have at the lower portion of your breast."

Pixabay Share Tweet Share E-mail What can you really tell about a woman from her breast size? Or a man preferring said size for that matter? A lot, according to science. Below are five facts about breast size that both scientific and public communities have learned in recent decades as a result of better bra size education and awareness surrounding associated medical conditions and personality traits.1. 34DD is the average American bra size A 2013 survey from lingerie retailer Intimacy revealed the average bra size in America is 34DD — a leap from the average 34B it was 20 years earlier. There are several reasons as to why, including inflated cup sizes, plastic surgery, and the rising obesity rate. After all, breasts are largely made up of fatty tissue, meaning the more fat a person has, the bigger the breasts. Fusion also points out bra sizing has simply gotten more accurate, thanks to Oprah. In 2005, she dedicated an entire show to helping women discover their true size and demanding professional bra fitters follow suite presumably after a 2004 study found 80 percent of all women were in the wrong size bra."

"text": "\"Share this: Tweet Share on Tumblr More EDITOR NOTE: THERE IS AN ADDENDUM, ADDED SEPTEMBER 10. Besides being a researcher and prolific blogger, I still maintain a practice in breast cancer surgery. It’s one of the more satisfying specialties in oncology because, in the vast majority of cases I treat, I can actually remove the cancer and “cure” the patient. ( I use the quotes because we generally don’t like to use that term, given that some forms of breast cancer can recur ten or more years later, but in many cases the term still fits, albeit not as well as we would like.) Granted, I get a little (actually a lot of) help from my friends, so to speak, the multimodality treatment of breast cancer involving surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology, but breast cancer that can be cured will be primarily cured with surgery, with chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation therapy working mostly to decrease the risk of recurrence, either local in the breast or distant elsewhere in the body. Through this multimodality approach, breast cancer mortality has actually been decreasing over the last couple of decades. However, as a breast cancer surgeon, I not infrequently have to deal with many of the common myths that have sprung up around breast cancer. Some are promoted by quacks; others are just myths that sound plausible but aren’t true. ( That’s why they persist as myths.) One such myth has been in the news lately, in particular last week; so I thought now was a good time to take a look as any."

"text": "Home / Other Calculators / Bra Size Calculator Bra Size Calculator This calculator estimates bra size based on bust size and frame size (band size). To ensure accuracy, measure to the nearest ¼ inch or ½ cm. This calculator provides results for the United States, the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, and New Zealand. Bust Size Frame Size The bust size is the loose circumference measured around the chest over the fullest part of the breasts, while standing straight with arms to the side, and wearing a properly fitted bra. The frame size is the firm circumference measured directly underneath the breasts. Incorrect bra fit Surveys and studies often cite that anywhere between 70-85% of women wear incorrectly fitted bras. While data collection methods between various sources is not consistent and these percentages may be inflated, incorrectly fitted bras are nonetheless a significant issue, evidenced by the number of studies, articles, and complaints surrounding the issues women face due to a lack of size standardization. Studies have revealed that the most common mistake made by women when selecting a bra was to choose too large a back band and too small a cup. Part of the issue is lack of standardization regarding band and cup sizes. These vary largely between countries, and even manufacturers, making it difficult to use these measures as anything more than an approximate fit."

The correct band size will usually be your underbust/ribcage measurement rounded to the nearest even number, for example if your underbust measures 33 inches you will most likely need a 34. The cup size is represented by a letter, and this is relative to the band size so if you currently fill a 36C but you need a 34 band, then a 34C will be too small. You will need to try a 34D - go up one cup size for every band size that you go down.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Vee got a free sample from Braologie and was kind enough to write an in depth analysis of the bra. Please keep in mind that this is a very experimentally designed bra and many of the standard bra fitting rules seem a but bent in order to understand how it was expected to work. In depth analysis of the Braologie bra A little while a go Braologie, a new company in the bra manufacturing market, contacted me and asked if I would test their products. It was after this heated debate in the fitting section (yes, I know how funny this sounds) where I disagreed with some points they were making and they were determined to prove me wrong. I didn't agree with their claim that breasts should be pushed as high up and together as possible and remain concentrated on chest. Shapes diagram from Bras I hate and love In other words, Braologie claimed that only the green shape gives proper support to breasts, and any other shape would in the long run still cause sagging, whilst the green shape in the long run will cause the least damage to the breast tissue and prevent sagging. Even if this were true (and I had to admit it does sound logical that pushing boobs as high up would in the long run do a better job than keeping them halfway to the ground), I didn't think it was humanly possible to lift my boobs so high up and keep them concentrated on my small frame. I wear 28J-30K depending on the brand, and if they managed to do that I would probably be suffocated by my very own breasts. I mean a push-up in my size? Come one."

It is also a fact that the same size underwire is used in different cup sizes. \"\" •Meet Tomima Underwires and the Proper Bra Fit Every woman who wears underwire bras needs to understand underwire sizing. Breasts have a diameter and a projection. When you select a cup size (e.g. B, DD etc.) you are making a breast projection selection. Each band size has a pre-determined breast diameter built into it in the form of an underwire. Changing your band size can change the underwire diameter. It is also a fact that the same size underwire is used in different cup sizes - the underwire in a 36C is the same underwire used in a 34D and a 38B cup sizes.

No matter what size you are, there are supportive sports bras out there for you. Here are tips from Fiona Lipshaw of online personal bra shop Brayola.com to find the right sports bra for your breasts. Understanding why you need a sports bra First of all, it feels better to have support for your breasts when exercising,- no matter what your breast size. Another reason wearing a sports bra is important is because it will keep your breasts looking their best. \"\" When you are constantly moving, during any form of exercise, your breast ligaments can slowly break down, causing your breasts to sag over time,\"\" explains Lipshaw. \"\" If you wear the correct sports bra, you can help minimize the sagging. \"\" Getting the size right With all the different types of sports bras available on the market, finding the right sports bra can seem daunting to impossible, especially if you have large breasts. \"\" Women with larger breasts get scared that they are not going to get enough support, so they go down a few sizes,\"\" says Lipshaw. If you fall into this category, ask yourself: Is this bra really comfortable?"

"text": "Choosing the right bra after breast augmentation surgery Published on August 13, 2014 by Gregory Park So you have had your breast augmentation, congratulations! Whether you have chosen saline, silicone, or those yummy tear-drop shaped “gummy bear” anatomic breast implants, now is the time in this post-operative period to care for your new implants. You have spent a pretty penny on this investment and you want to listen to the post-operative instructions provided by your board certified plastic surgeon. Generally we recommend wearing a sports or surgical bra for 4 weeks 24/7. It’s not always that comfortable to wear consistently but neither is sleeping on your back if you’re used to sleeping on your stomach but it is just part of what we sign up for when we want a breast augmentation. That being said lets talk about how to buy the right size sports bra. There is no perfect way to determine the exact size you will need because as swelling reduces over the next 4 weeks you might need a different size. That being said there are a couple questions to take into consideration: Is your cup size changing significantly (A cup to DD cup)? Is the sizing system a numerical (32, 34, 36) or letter (S, M, L)? If you are going up one or two cup sizes, go one size up from what you normally wear and bring the non-padded bra with you to your pre-operative appointment to confirm snugness with the use of our sizing system."

I take a rectangular scrap of interfacing, cover it in a scrap of the fabric I've made my costume out of, and I bead on it in different ways to see what I like. Often what I had in mind doesn't look as good when I bead it out, and something else I doodled may inspire the whole costume from that point on."

"text": "Share on Facebook Tweet Home > License > Change of address > Ga georgia Georgia DMVChange Of Address Georgia DMV change of address is necessary within 60 days after you have move. You need to get the address on your driver’s license, vehicle registration and title certificate changed. You also need to inform the insurance company of the change in address. For this, you will need to visit your local DMV (in this case the Department of Driver Services or DDS) or if you are lucky, you could qualify to get it changed online, sitting right at home. The good thing is that if you have a license which is valid for more than 180 days, you only need to get a replacement license which will cost you nothing. So how exactly can you handle the address change? Well, if you have a regular, noncommercial license which is valid for more than 180 days after the address change and you have a Georgia address which the U. S. post can verify and can provide information such as your social security number and the last exam date on your current license, you can simple apply online for a Georgia DMV change of address. However online application is limited to US citizens with Georgia residency, according to the DDS website. To do things through the postal service, you will need to look for the address of the Driver’s License Customer Service Center nearest to you by entering the zip code of the area you are in and send all the required documents along with the change of address form. But let’s say for some reason, your mailing address cannot be verified or your license expires within 180 days or you have moved more than once within the license renewal period, you will need to hop on over to the local DDS/DMV customer service center and get things done in person."

"text": "\"Employment First On October 8, 2012, DC Mayor Vincent Gray issued a proclamation declaring the District of Columbia an Employment First State—the 20th state to do so nationwide. Mayor Gray’s proclamation affirms that “employment is an important part of the lives of all working age adults and people with disabilities are a largely untapped resource with skills and talents who can meet the needs of area business and employers.” Under the Employment First philosophy, competitive, integrated employment is the first and overwhelmingly preferred option for working-age youth and adults with disabilities, regardless of the complexity or severity of their disabilities. The other main tenets of Employment First are that: Employment services are tailored and customized to a person’s needs, interests, and skill set with the ultimate goal of achieving long-term employment in a competitive business or organization, or self-employment. Employment is at the prevailing wage, and never less than minimum wage. The employee has ample opportunities to integrate and interact with his or her coworkers, the public, and/or customers without disabilities. Employment First in Action Below are examples of initiatives underway to promote and implement Employment First within DDS and throughout DC: DDS: Succeeding Together!DDS: Succeeding Together! is a new initiative of the Department on Disability Services spotlighting the success stories and accomplishments of people served by DDS, through its Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA).

Main Document\"\"Disability\"\" is a word often used in daily conversations and holds different meanings for different people. Do these different meanings matter? What is there to be gained by trying to define disability more precisely and to attempt to use the word in consistent ways Disability groups and other organizations may have their own definitions of disability. The concept of disability is complex, and there are historical, social, legal and philosophical influences on its interpretation. The experience of disability is unique to each person but there are common impacting factors. There are common aspects also in the rights of people to access specific disability services provided directly or indirectly by governments. The need for some agreed definitions, largely to ensure that disability support programs are fair about who is to receive benefits and why, has prompted much discussion and debate. The use of common terms and definitions provides individuals with a basis for a common understanding. In this way, communication is assisted, transparency in social programs is improved, and needs are better met through accurate identification and understanding of what people require."

These accounts are primarily used for frequent transactions, such as checking accounts. However, the term \"\"DDA account\"\" refers to any bank account that you can deposit to and withdraw from immediately, on demand. DDA accounts may or may not pay interest. When they do, the rate is typically less than the rate found on certificates of deposit and other accounts. Transaction Accounts The term DDA is most often used to refer to transaction accounts, also called checking accounts. DDA accounts offer offer checks, ATM or debit cards and overdraft protection, if the account owner wishes. There are no restrictions on the number of withdrawals and deposits a user can have in given period. To attract more depositors, some banks offer interest for their DDA accounts, but many financial institutions still do not. Online Banking Most financial institutions offer depositors or members, in the case of credit unions, the option of using online banking systems to manage their DDA accounts."

"text": "Does Opening a Savings, CD, or Checking Account Impact on Your Credit Score? Rate information contained on this page may have changed. Please find latest savings rates . Author: Sol Nasisi We’ve all heard stories about how applying for many savings or cd accounts can have an adverse impact on your credit score. According to conventional wisdom, some banks do a hard pull on your credit and these pulls can cause your score to go down, impacting your ability to get a loan or the rate on any loan you open. So is this really true? What do banks do when you open a savings account, checking account, certificate of deposit, or other FDIC insured account? And how do the credit agencies track what the banks do and apply it to your credit score? To find out what really happens when you open an account, I spoke to representatives from Experian, Transunion, and Equifax (the big three credit rating agencies), as well as from Fair Isaac, the company whose algorithms are used to calculate your FICO score. Most banks use FICO scores as an important component in determining a potential borrower’s credit worthiness for a loan."

These reforms were heavily influenced by neoliberalism, and emphasized that there were 'no rights without responsibilities,' making labor market participation essential. Simultaneously, the recognition of disability rights was growing in the United Kingdom, culminating in the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2009. This article explores the tension between neoliberalism and the human rights approach to disability in the context of New Labour's welfare reforms for people with disabilities. The analysis includes the perspectives of people with disabilities and disability stakeholders who participated in focus groups or interviews in an English metropolitan region, and is framed by the principles that underpin the Convention. The article offers policy insights to ensure that the rights of people with disabilities are included in future welfare reforms. Introduction: The Political Context Prime Minister David Cameron, and the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition (Con-Dem) government that assumed power in the summer of 2010 in the United Kingdom, inherited a social context and labor market characterized by the marginalization of many people with disabilities from employment and a high rate of disability benefit recipients. The Con-Dems have proposed a number of further reforms retrenching government benefits, including further changes to welfare to work and eliminating the Disability Living Allowance, which Morris (2011) argues will have a disproportionate impact on people with disabilities in terms of funding for services and national and local benefits. The Con-Dems are operating in an international and national environment that has seen significant reforms and trends in two directions: the development of a rights-based approach to disability and the growing influence of neoliberalism on economies and policy. This article is a case study of the New Labour government and its policies that were implemented as that context developed."

This billing is nearly always a disadvantage to merchants because Tier rates are usually higher than the individual card types they comprise. Interchange Plus pricing is the only truly honest, fair, transparent pricing because all card types are revealed at their true bank cost on the statement.1 Tier (Flat Rate/Fixed Rate) — Worst possible scenario for merchants. All cards receive the Non Qualified rates. These may be 3% - 5% or more on all card types, even when debit interchange may only by 0.95%.2 Tier — Includes Qualified & Non Qualifed rates only. Qualified may include Debit cards or Debit & plain basic credit cards. Non qualified will include all remaining card types (30-45 card types). This is the second worst pricing structure.3 Tier — Includes Qualified (Debit), Mid Qualified (Rewards/Travel cards) and Non Qualified Card types (all remaining cards including business, foreign, and standard).4 Tier — The most ideal of Tiered pricing, this includes all in the 3 Tier categories above but adds a Debit (Check Card) rate."

Tel. : 802-656-8260; Fax: 802-862-8229; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Semi-conservative DNA synthesis reactions catalyzed by the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase holoenzyme are initiated by a strand displacement mechanism requiring gp32, the T4 single-stranded DNA (ss DNA)-binding protein, to sequester the displaced strand. After initiation, DNA helicase acquisition by the nascent replication fork leads to a dramatic increase in the rate and processivity of leading strand DNA synthesis. In vitro studies have established that either of two T4-encoded DNA helicases, gp41 or dda, is capable of stimulating strand displacement synthesis. The acquisition of either helicase by the nascent replication fork is modulated by other protein components of the fork including gp32 and, in the case of the gp41 helicase, its mediator/loading protein gp59. Here, we examine the relationships between gp32 and the gp41/gp59 and dda helicase systems, respectively, during T4 replication using altered forms of gp32 defective in either protein-protein or protein-ss DNA interactions. We show that optimal stimulation of DNA synthesis by gp41/gp59 helicase requires gp32-gp59 interactions and is strongly dependent on the stability of ss DNA binding by gp32. Fluorescence assays demonstrate that gp59 binds stoichiometrically to forked DNA molecules; however, gp59-forked DNA complexes are destabilized via protein-protein interactions with the C-terminal “A-domain” fragment of gp32."

"text": "\"Steranko’s First? BY Tom Scioli Jun 20, 2013Here's a mystery. What is the first published comic that Jim Steranko drew? Strange Tales #155 is the first story Steranko wrote and drew. # 154 is the first story he drew and plotted with scripting assistance by Roy Thomas. # 151 is the first story he \"\"finished\"\" (a combination of tightening Kirby's pencil roughs, which varied in degree of roughness, and inking them), but there is a cluster of comics Steranko worked on just before his more famous Marvel work. It was for Joe Simon's Harvey Thriller line that a young Jim Steranko created a mini-superhero universe. By \"\"create\"\" I mean he conceived characters and drew full-page introductory title cards. Did Steranko draw any of these stories? Well... that's where the mystery begins."

If you have MORE questions after reading these, send them by May 3rd to: jn_expert@informns. k12.mn.us From NEW YORK: These are the questions we would like to ask the falcon expert: Mrs. Berger's Class, [email protected] Q. How long does it take a falcon to migrate back to the north, on the average? A. We have never tracked a peregrine falcon during the northward migration. Our fall migration, last fall, was the first time anyone had ever tracked a peregrine falcon during the whole migration, and we saw some of the birds move pretty fast, going up to 200 or 300 miles a day. We are not sure how long it will take for the falcons to migrate back to the north, but, if the batteries last long enough, we will all find out in a few weeks. Q. How far can it glide without flapping its wings? A. This really depends on the winds. Falcons, and other raptors, learn very early in the life how to use winds to make migration easy. If the winds are at their backs, they could go several miles without ever flapping their wings."

[ 1] Due to DDT’s massive prevalence in society and agriculture during the mid 20th century, DDT and DDE are still widely seen in animal tissue samples. [ 2] DDE is particularly dangerous because it is fat-soluble like other organochlorines; thus, it is rarely excreted from the body, and concentrations tend to increase throughout life. The major exception is the excretion of DDE in breast milk, which transfers a substantial portion of the mother's DDE burden to the young animal or child. [ 3] Along with accumulation over an organism's lifetime, this stability leads to bioaccumulation in the environment, which amplifies DDE’s negative effects. Contents1 Synthesis2 Toxicity3 Mechanism4 See also5 References Synthesis [ edit]DDE is created by dehydrohalogenation of DDT. The loss of HCl results in a double bond on the central (previously quaternary) carbon atoms. Degradation of DDT to form DDE by an elimination of HCl Toxicity [ edit]DDE has been shown to be toxic to rats at 79.6 mg/kg. [ 4] DDE and its parent, DDT, are reproductive toxicants for certain birds species, and major reasons for the decline of the bald eagle, [5] brown pelican [6] peregrine falcon, and osprey. ["

DDT was used in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops.

[ 5]By October 1945, DDT was available for public sale in the United States. Although it was promoted by government and industry for use as an agricultural and household pesticide, there were also concerns about its use from the beginning. [ 6] Opposition to DDT was focused by the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson 's book Silent Spring.

"text": "\"OPEN LETTER TO DDT TREATY NEGOTIATORS29 March 1999Dear [Diplomat],We are a group of scientists and doctors who are writing you on account of your participation in the ongoing treaty negotiations of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) aimed at eliminating Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs. You are no doubt aware that one of substances the POPs Treaty seeks to ban from future use is DDT, and that such a ban is supported by most wealthy Western countries and several environmental NGOs. However, you may not be aware that DDT is also a critical tool in the fight against malaria, which remains a terrible scourge of the developing world. As people who have dedicated our careers to health in the developing world, we wish your country to carefully scrutinize any treaty proposal which could aggravate the burden of malaria upon your citizens. Although we entirely agree that DDT should one day be eliminated because of its known environmental effects, we also believe that human life must not be endangered in reaching that goal. In our view, setting a deadline for the elimination of DDT -- whether that deadline is in 2007 or some other date -- unacceptably endangers health in countries with malaria. We simply cannot be sure when DDT will no longer be necessary for malaria control. Yet to act ethically, we must know, with the greatest of certainty, that DDT is unnecessary before we ban it. Despite our oppostion to a deadline, we agree humanity must find and implement alternatives to DDT as quickly as possible. To be satisfactory, these alternatives must be: (1) equally effective, (2) equally inexpensive, and (3) able to replace DDT wherever it is now used or may be needed in the future for malaria control."

"text": "Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus)TPWD ©Texas Status Threatened Protection Status Notes Originally listed as Endangered on March 11, 1967; downlisted to Threatened on July 12, 1995. Delisted 8 August 2007. U. S. Status Recovered Description The Bald Eagle is one of nature's most impressive birds of prey. Males generally measure 3 feet from head to tail, weigh 7 to 10 pounds, and have a wingspan of 6 to 7 feet. Females are larger, some reaching 14 pounds with a wingspan of up to 8 feet. Adults have a white head, neck, and tail and a large yellow bill. Life History Bald Eagles are opportunistic predators. They feed primarily on fish, but also eat a variety of waterfowl and other birds, small mammals, and turtles, when these foods are readily available. Carrion is also common in the diet, particularly in younger birds. Bottom-dwelling fish like catfish and carp tend to occur more frequently in the diet."

"text": "\"Deepin Linux: A Polished Distro That's Easy to Install and Use I usually don't dig into new distros, unless they have something new to offer. The reason is because there are so many distros that are released everyday that it's challenging, and to some extent, pointless to track them all. I was not very excited when I decided to download Deepin as I assumed it to be yet another distro. I was wrong. It turned out to be an extremely polished, robust and easy-to-use distribution targeted at traditional Windows or Mac users. So what makes this OS so special? Almost everything. One of the most pleasant installers I have used almost all major GNU/Linux based distributions and Arch Linux is my default OS. That also means I have been through the installation of all these distributions. Based on that experience I can say that Deepin seems to have the simplest installation procedure."

The ISTD teaching qualifications are made up of the following units: Fees At D&B we work hard to keep the teacher training fees affordable, thereby making the course as accessible as possible. Individual course fees depend on how many faculties you study, and how quickly. As an example, a three year teacher training course in Tap Dance DDI and DDE, could cost approximately £2,600. This cost could be recouped in just over 6 weeks by teaching 20 hours per week, charging £20 per hour. Please note: the fees shown are for tuition only and do not include any examination fees set by the ISTD. DDI Unit 1 Observation and understanding of Teaching and Learning Techniques The learner undertakes a minimum of 6 hours formal and assessed observation of lessons at two levels. Whilst a number of observations may be completed throughout the study of this unit, it is only the last six consecutive hours that will be formally assessed."

OPC Server is a windows application that provides a means of bringing data and information from a wide range of industrial devices and systems into client applications on your windows PC. OPC Server falls under the category of a \"\"Server\"\" application. It is very common to hear the term \"\"client/server application\"\" in use across many software disciplines and business segments. In the industrial market, it has usually come to mean the sharing of manufacturing or production data between a variety of applications ranging from human machine interface software and data historians, to large MES and ERP applications. Regardless of the business segment served, client/server applications have one thing in common, a standardized method of sharing data. In the industrial segment many client/server technologies have been developed over the last ten years. Initially some of these technologies were proprietary. In many cases these proprietary client/server architectures were in wide use but remained unavailable to third party applications. Early in the development of windows Microsoft provided a generic client server technology called DDE or Dynamic Data Exchange."

DDo S is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems, which are often infected with a Trojan, are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (Do S) attack. Victims of a DDo S attack consist of both the end targeted system and all systems maliciously used and controlled by the hacker in the distributed attack. How DDo S Attacks Work In a DDo S attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources – potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single IP address; plus, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin. The Difference Between Do S and DDos Attacks A Denial of Service ( Do S) attack is different from a DDo S attack. The Do S attack typically uses one computer and one Internet connection to flood a targeted system or resource. The DDo S attack uses multiple computers and Internet connections to flood the targeted resource. DDo S attacks are often global attacks, distributed via botnets. Types of DDo S Attacks There are many types of DDo S attacks."

Periodically reviewing Ancestry.com’s financials can also provide insight into the state of the genealogy industry. Does the recent decrease of almost 52,000 subscribers translate to a general drop in interest in genealogy and family history? Yesterday Ancestry.com reported its financial results for the 2nd Quarter 2014, which ended on 30 June 2014. Revenues were up 13% compared to the same period in 2013 and Ancestry reported a loss of $7.6 million USD compared to a loss of $21.3 million in Q2 2013. While there were no big surprises in the revenue results as Ancestry continues to dominate the genealogy industry in the United States, more intriguing is why there was a net decrease of about 52,000 paying subscribers since the end of Q1 2014. On a year-to-year basis, the number of paying subscribers decreased by 3,000, with 2,109,000 as of 30 June 2014 vs. 2,112,000 as of 30 June 2013. Accessing Ancestry’s Financial Info Once the figures were released at 4:00 pm EDT, as is the usual practice, Ancestry posted a press release and a link to the 8-K Securities and Exchange Commission filing. In addition, a conference call was held where Ancestry.com leadership – CEO Tim Sullivan and CFO/COO Howard Hochhauser remarked on the latest financial figures.

"text": "\"Share this post: FBI Warning! Businesses Are Threatened with DDo S Attacks Unless Extortion Money Is Paid By Linda Musthaler | July 23, 2015Posted in: Network Security Trends , ISP DDo S Protection , Hosting Provider DDo S Protection If you're running an illegal business that the authorities would like to shut down, you are highly unlikely to call the police or FBI if a cyber attack is affecting your business. And so it is that online operators of \"\"unregulated activities\"\" such as illegal gambling sites are finding themselves to be the victims of extortion campaigns threatening DDo S attacks unless protection payment is made in Bitcoins. Frequent extortion campaigns of these unregulated businesses have been going on for at least a year, but now the FBI says the campaigns are targeting legitimate businesses operating in the private sector. In a June 2015 notificationpublished by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Division, the FBI explains: In a typical scenario, a short-term DDo S attack is conducted on a victim’s web site lasting for approximately one hour. The DDo S is followed by an e-mail containing an extortion demand for payment via Bitcoin. If the victim has not paid the demanded payment, there is usually a second, more powerful DDo S attack within 24 hours, which lasts for an additional hour. This is followed by a second e-mail warning and extortion demand with an increased price. The FBI adds that, in most cases, victim companies have successfully mitigated the attack using third party DDo S mitigating services rather than paying the ransom. The agency has published the following technical details of what the targeted businesses have experienced: The first DDo S attack is usually delivered prior to the sending of a ransom demand at 20-40 Gigabytes per second (Gbps) with a duration of approximately one hour."

"text": "\"Hackers are blackmailing banks with threats of DDo S attacks By Sead Fadilpašić 2015-07-31T10:20:47.211Z News Hackers are threatening banks and other financial institutions with Distributed Denial of Service (DDo S) attacks if they don’t pay them tens of thousands of dollars, according to various reports More than 100 companies were threatened, according to Market Watch, which cited a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent. Among the companies being targeted were big banks and brokerages in the financial sector. A DDo S attack is when a hacker floods a website with traffic, forcing it offline. It is usually done with the help of multiple compromised systems, which are often infected with a Trojan. Richard Jacobs, assistant special agency in charge of the cyber branch at the FBI’s New York office, told Market Watch these threats have been coming in since April. He added that in some cases, the companies have paid up. These companies end up facing further trouble as hackers know that they are willing to engage. “There are some groups who typically will go away if you don’t pay them, but there’s no guarantee that’s going to happen,” Jacobs says. He says not all targets have experienced actual attacks. Companies are willing to pay large sums of money, as DDo S attacks could see them lose even more."

"text": "Darkshell DDOS Botnet Evolves With Variants By Mc Afee on Apr 05, 2012Darkshell is a distributed denial of service (DDo S) botnet targeting Chinese websites. It was found in 2011 and was first analyzed by Arbor Networks. Mc Afee Labs recently analyzed a few new samples that turned out to be variants of Darkshell, and we found extensive variations in network traffic and control commands. The Darkshell bot follows a fairly standard installation process by copying itself into the System32 directory with a name that appears to be legitimate, for example, C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\Win He803.exe. It then sends the system information of the infected machine to its control server in encrypted format. Once the control server receives the information, it responds with the victim’s address and the type of DDo S attack to perform. Here are a few of the MD5 hashes we analyzed:aff00fac695971c1aea37ce51f4d6228beec4de4740da867ed44c666d283c4f2b3e28fc05514abbaea1e12b676bef2a8bc47ff49ba8ea1bc0c028edd7262c0acbcb210972648719e7d53223fbb7210abbeec4de4740da867ed44c666d283c4f2bf56f97511c4c4bc23d92c17d5e976fec008c851bef86764943f7a4a2a16d7c6c74890f5a5400e70ff40da0493a933d7The binaries we analyzed were compiled in a way that it makes them hard to reverse engineer (and ease our analysis). Each binary contained a lot of junk code and made multiple calls between the junk codes to complete a single task. We also found that the binaries used antidebugging and antidisassembly techniques to evade disassembly and reversing. The code was written in C++."

An IP Stresser is one of the main causes of DDo S on the internet. It is an attack commonly used by “hackers” as a means of intimidating or cause loss of income. DDo S involves sending little bit of information rapidly until the targeted machine cannot handle anymore. The easiest way to explain it is to try and fit 10 fat men through a doorway of a store at once. It simple stops any other would be customers from entering or leaving. The same goes for your internet connection, DDo S makes it so nothing else can pass through the end result is you have no connection to the internet. Is DDo S with a booter illegal?

"text": "Is DDo S Illegal Or An Act Of Protest? February 4, 2014 by Anthony Miller Leave a Comment The legality of DDo S attacks has been argued both in the U. S. and abroad. Some say penalties are far too harsh, comparing DDo S attacks to peaceful protest. Others argue that these types of attacks are criminal and meant to disrupt and cause damage. Regardless of what side of the fence you stand, the reality is that DDo S is a difficult issue to address. Distributed denial of service is the act of overwhelming a server until it can no longer perform. In simple terms, a successful DDo S attack occurs when repeated requests are sent to a target machine at a rate that exceeds the bandwidth and capabilities of the web server, causing it to go offline. There is no lasting damage, but until the attack stops there will be intermittent performance issues and downtime. In the United States, DDo S attacks fall under federal statutes. Participants run the risk of being charged with both criminal and civil complaints."

"text": "\"Frequently asked questions about Do S and DDo S attacks on Xbox 360Overview If you play games on Xbox Live, you may experience a denial-of-service (Do S) attack or a distributed denial-of-service (DDo S) attack. These attacks may render your Xbox 360 console or your computer temporarily unable to connect to the Internet or to Xbox Live. If you have an Xbox Live account, your Xbox 360 console could experience a Do S or DDo S attack from another Xbox Live account. These attacks are sometimes used as retaliation between Xbox Live gameplayers. If you think you've experienced a Do S or DDo S attack, we recommend that you reset your Internet router and contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you know who initiated the Do S or DDo S attack, you may also want to submit a player review to Xbox Live and avoid the attacker in the future. On this page Topics What is a Do S or DDo S attack? How do I know whether I've experienced an attack? What should I do if I think I've been attacked? What can I do to stop the attack?"

One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests so that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic or the machine responds so slowly that it is essentially useless. Do S Attacks can be carried out in the following ways: ICMP Flood: In this method, the perpetrators send large numbers of IP packets with the source addresses appearing as the address of the victim. The network's bandwidth is quickly used up and prevents legitimate packets from getting through to their destination. SYN/TCP Flood : A SYN flood is when a host sends a flood of TCP/SYN packets, often with a forged sender address. Every packet is handled like a connection request; this causes the server to spawn a half-open connection because it sends back a TCP/SYN-ACK packet (Acknowledge) and waits for a packet in response from the sender address (the response to the ACK Packet). However, as the sender address is forged, the response never comes. These half-open connections occupy the number of available connections the server is able to make and keeping it from responding to legitimate requests until after the attack ends. UDP Flood: A UDP flood attack can be initiated by sending a large number of UDP packets to random ports on a remote host."

A DDo S attack involves multiple connected online devices, collectively known as a botnet, which are used to overwhelm a target website with fake traffic. Unlike other kinds of cyberattacks, DDo S assaults don't attempt to breach your security perimeter. Rather, they aim to make your website and servers unavailable to legitimate users. DDo S can also be used as a smokescreen for other malicious activities and to take down security appliances, breaching the target’s security perimeter. A successful DDo S attack is a highly noticeable event impacting an entire online user base. This makes it a popular weapon of choice for hacktivists, cyber vandals, extortionists and anyone else looking to make a point or champion a cause. DDo S assaults often last for days, weeks and even months at a time, making them extremely destructive to any online organization. Amongst other things, DDo S attacks can lead to loss of revenues, erode consumer trust, force businesses to spend fortunes in compensations and cause long-term reputation damage."

Many of the common security certifications (such as the Comp TIA Security+, and (ISC)2 SSCP and CISSP) require you to have a basic knowledge of different types of attacks. After all, before you can start focusing on protection against threats, you need to know what the threats are. Do S and DDo SA denial of service (Do S) attack is an attack from a single entity that attempts to prevent a system from responding to normal requests for service. A distributed denial of service (DDo S) attack is a Do S attack from multiple entities. When successful, the attacked system is unable to respond to the majority of legitimate service requests. The SYN flood attack (described later in this article) is a common Do S attack."

When businesses are looking to move all or part of their operations to the cloud, there is the inevitable question of security. Will our website be safe in the cloud? Does hosting our application data in the cloud make our business more vulnerable to cyber attacks? Can our cloud servers handle a DDo S attack? What is cloud security and what is the right way to implement it for our business? Cloud security done right is a solution that answers all these questions, making it an essential component to creating a cloud environment that works for businesses (and customers) around the globe. By providing a scalable and flexible network solution, the cloud enables tremendous opportunities, but it also brings challenges.

Techworld talks to Tripwire researcher Craig Young, a man who urgently wants home and SME users to take this issue more seriously. By John E Dunn | Apr 23, 2015Share Twitter Facebook Linked In Google Plus Home and small office routers are critical to the security of the small networks connected through broadband and yet until quite recently they were barely talked about as a possible security vulnerability. Beyond telling people to use Wi-Fi encryption they were ignored. Turns out, there’s a lot more to it than that. Meanwhile, the number of attacks is growing. There’s now plenty of router security advice out there, not all of it easy to follow for the non-expert. We talked to Craig Young of Tripwire to try and disentangle not only the best advice but the thinking behind it. If it’s true you should turn off vulnerable services on your router to stop remote hacking are there any downsides in doing this? All advice below is accessed through the management interface on any home router (usually by typing 192.168.1.0 in the web browser address bar) although the way individual settings are modified will vary by make and model."

"text": "Is DDo S Illegal Or An Act Of Protest? February 4, 2014 by Anthony Miller Leave a Comment The legality of DDo S attacks has been argued both in the U. S. and abroad. Some say penalties are far too harsh, comparing DDo S attacks to peaceful protest. Others argue that these types of attacks are criminal and meant to disrupt and cause damage. Regardless of what side of the fence you stand, the reality is that DDo S is a difficult issue to address. Distributed denial of service is the act of overwhelming a server until it can no longer perform. In simple terms, a successful DDo S attack occurs when repeated requests are sent to a target machine at a rate that exceeds the bandwidth and capabilities of the web server, causing it to go offline. There is no lasting damage, but until the attack stops there will be intermittent performance issues and downtime. In the United States, DDo S attacks fall under federal statutes. Participants run the risk of being charged with both criminal and civil complaints."

One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests so that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic or the machine responds so slowly that it is essentially useless. Do S Attacks can be carried out in the following ways: ICMP Flood: In this method, the perpetrators send large numbers of IP packets with the source addresses appearing as the address of the victim. The network's bandwidth is quickly used up and prevents legitimate packets from getting through to their destination. SYN/TCP Flood : A SYN flood is when a host sends a flood of TCP/SYN packets, often with a forged sender address. Every packet is handled like a connection request; this causes the server to spawn a half-open connection because it sends back a TCP/SYN-ACK packet (Acknowledge) and waits for a packet in response from the sender address (the response to the ACK Packet). However, as the sender address is forged, the response never comes. These half-open connections occupy the number of available connections the server is able to make and keeping it from responding to legitimate requests until after the attack ends. UDP Flood: A UDP flood attack can be initiated by sending a large number of UDP packets to random ports on a remote host."

"text": "\"DDR3Stands for \"\"Double Data Rate Type 3.\"\" DDR3 is a type of SDRAM that is used for system memory. It is available in both DIMM and SO-DIMM form factors. DDR3 RAM is similar to DDR2 RAM, but uses roughly 30% less power and can transfer data twice as fast. While DDR2 memory can transfer data at up to 3200 MBps (megabytes per second), DDR3 memory supports maximum data transfer rates of 6400 MBps. This means computers with DDR3 memory can transfer data to and from the CPU much faster than systems with DDR2 RAM. The faster memory speed prevents bottlenecks, especially when processing large amounts of data. Therefore, if two computers have the same processor clock speed, but different types of memory, the computer with DDR3 memory may perform faster than the computer with DDR2 memory. DDR3 memory modules look similar to DDR and DDR2 chips, but the gap that separates the two sets of pins on the bottom of each module is in a different location. This prevents the RAM chip from being installed in a slot that does not support DDR3 RAM."

In the technology realm, DDR4 is also a type of computer hardware; in fact, DDR4 is the name of the newest generation of RAM ( random access memory ). This is the component of your computer that quickly stores and retrieves information, similar to short-term or active memory in the brain. RAM, also called the main memory of a computer, is used for running applications, multitasking, and aiding the CPU with processing data. For example, when you open up dozens of tabs in your internet browser at a time, like me, it’s your RAM that’s cursing the day you were born. Why Is DDR4 Better? So consumer grade DDR4 was released in September 2014. Before that, DDR3, used since 2007, had been going strong for seven entire years. Isn’t DDR3 good enough? What makes DDR4 any better?"

Yet in spite of the impact that system memory can have on a PC’s performance, the industry has relied on the same basic memory architecture for what seems like an eternity—in tech time, at least. DDR3 SDRAM (the third generation of double data rate synchronous DRAM) was introduced way back in 2007. Carrie Underwood had scored her first Grammy. Russian leader Boris Yeltsin died. And Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron’s home-run record. Now the PC industry is finally preparing to transition to DDR4 memory. What took so long?

One thing that many fail to consider is the typical routing of DDR2/3 with a data line that goes far enough from the CPU to be considered a transmission line, then T's to go to each chip (or 4 chips, etc.) The 50 ohm impedance just dropped to 25 ohm, with two traces in parallel. This creates an impedance mismatch, which always creates a reflected signal and noise on the line. The proper way to handle this is to T the lines either close enough to the CPU to still be considered a lumped length, with a series termination at the T of 1/2 the line impedance."

With decent CPUs costing north of £100, graphics cards likewise, and SSDs denting wallets across the land, thank goodness memory is cheap. You could argue that's just as well. After all, memory has become gradually less critical to system performance in recent years, and the difference between kits has become a game of margins.

"text": "Understanding Computer Memory - Part 3DDR3 RAM is much the same as DDR2. The clock speed of the RAM module is rated at twice the modules actual speed. For instance, I am running DDR3-1066, which is 1066MHz. Divide this by 2 and you get 533MHz as the actual clock speed. Remember, You are doubling this clock ratio as before with DDR2. If you download SIW for windows (we provide a free link on our site), you can see under the “Memory” listing where it shows your DDR specification, actual clock speed in MHz, and your PC, PC2, or PC3 designation. There is a free version of this software here: gtopala.com, or you can get the paid for version with additional features. Anyway, DDR3 raises the bar from DDR2 by supplying significantly higher initial clock speeds than its predecessor, and the modules consist of a 240 Pin configuration as before with DDR2, except that the notch to fit the module in place is different since these memory types are not backwards compatible in any way with DDR2. Both Types use 1.8 Volt Power configurations, while DDR uses 2.5 Volts. As said before, less power means less heat, which means less oxidation, and longer lasting electronic components."

Before I move on to what 2 GB and 4 GB GPU means, I'll first describe why a GPU needs memory. A CPU or a GPU performs huge number of calculations per second. Whether you are watching a movie, or playing a game or even moving a mouse pointer, everything is calculations in binary inside the CPU and GPU (the GPU is responsible for rendering the display output). So to store results of such huge amount of calculations, and to perform them, the CPU/GPU needs memory. That's what the RAM is- memory for storing and performing all the calculations.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Synchronous dynamic random-access memory ( SDRAM) is any dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) where the operation of its external pin interface is coordinated by an externally supplied clock signal. DRAM integrated circuits (ICs) produced from the early 1970s to mid-1990s used an asynchronous interface, in which input control signals have a direct effect on internal functions only delayed by the trip across its semiconductor pathways. SDRAM has a synchronous interface, whereby changes on control inputs are recognised after a rising edge of its clock input. In SDRAM families standardized by JEDEC, the clock signal controls the stepping of an internal finite state machine that responds to incoming commands. These commands can be pipelined to improve performance, with previously started operations completing while new commands are received. The memory is divided into several equally sized but independent sections called banks, allowing the device to operate on a memory access command in each bank simultaneously and speed up access in an interleaved fashion. This allows SDRAMs to achieve greater concurrency and higher data transfer rates than asynchronous DRAMs could. Pipelining means that the chip can accept a new command before it has finished processing the previous one. For a pipelined write, the write command can be immediately followed by another command without waiting for the data to be written into the memory array. For a pipelined read, the requested data appears a fixed number of clock cycles (latency) after the read command, during which additional commands can be sent."

Let Us Help You What is Drug Charges law? This legal area, also referred to as Drug Crimes law, is a subset of Criminal law and overlaps with Criminal Defense law. It encompasses the laws created to deal with illegal drug possession, use, manufacture, trafficking and other related transactions, as well as their enforcement and with legal defenses of the associated charges. This refers to both “street” drugs, which are strictly illegal, and drugs subject to Controlled Substances law, which are regulated by state and federal laws. Although most drug charges are classified as felonies, the seriousness of the offence and subsequent punishment is most often determined by the type of drug involved and, if applicable, its classification under the drug schedule, the quantity the offender is found with, whether there is intent to sell and/or distribute and other relevant factors. A conviction for drug trafficking carries stiff penalties as well as dire consequences above and beyond criminal punishment, such as denial of federal benefits and forfeiture of real estate and personal property. There exists controversy about the vigilant pursuit of drug charges against recreational users of “lesser” drugs, such as marijuana, and against drug addicts who would probably benefit far more from a drug rehabilitation clinic than from a prison sentence. Many opponents argue that drug use is a “victimless crime” and should be treated differently from violent criminal offenses. Others support the government’s view that drug use is a direct contributor to violent crime and their determination to prosecute these offenses to the fullest extent of the law."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most tightly restricted category reserved for drugs that have \"\"no currently accepted medical use,\"\" has been proposed repeatedly since 1972. Rescheduling proponents argue that cannabis does not meet the Controlled Substances Act 's strict criteria for placement in Schedule I and so the government is required by law to permit medical use or to remove the drug from federal control altogether. The US government, on the other hand, maintains that cannabis is dangerous enough to merit Schedule I status. The dispute is based on differing views on both how the Act should be interpreted and what kinds of scientific evidence are most relevant to the rescheduling decision. The Act provides a process for rescheduling controlled substances by petitioning the Drug Enforcement Administration. The first petition under this process was filed in 1972 to allow cannabis to be legally prescribed by physicians. The petition was ultimately denied after 22 years of court challenges, but a synthetic pill form of cannabis's psychoactive ingredient, THC, was rescheduled in 1985 to allow prescription under schedule II. In 1999, it was again rescheduled to allow prescription under schedule III. A second petition, based on claims related to clinical studies, was denied in 2001. The most recent rescheduling petition filed by medical cannabis advocates was in 2002, but it was denied by the DEA in July 2011."

"text": "Tough New Rules Weed Out Colorado Pot Shops By NEWS JUNKIE POSTJul 31, 2010 at 1:48 pm Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share on Google+ Share on Pinterest One of every five medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado could be forced to close under tough new rules barring many convicted felons from the business starting Sunday, according to federal drug authorities. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which has been directed by Attorney General Eric Holder to back off on medical marijuana raids in states where cannabis is legal for medicinal use, was quick to seize upon the new state rules. The agency lost no time in reviewing Colorado’s requirements to see how many felons could be forced out of the medical marijuana business. The DEA estimates that the no-felon rule could force up to 18 percent of current dispensaries to close down. Under Obama Administration guidelines, the DEA can still raid medical marijuana providers if they are deemed to be in violation of both state and federal laws. So the unspoken threat is obvious: if convicted felons are running medical marijuana dispensaries, they are subject to federal raids. After years of leaving marijuana rules mostly to local governments, the Colorado Legislature this year required cannabis dispensaries to apply for state licenses by July 31, 2010 in an effort to bring regulation to the state’s burgeoning medical marijuana industry. Dispensary owners must pay hefty licensing fees ranging from $7,500 to $18,000 and show that they haven’t been convicted of felonies in the last five years. Those with felony drug convictions face a lifetime ban from the medical marijuana business. The felony figures, first reported by KUSA-TV, stoked fears that “former drug dealers and drug users have flocked to the industry,” which was made legal by Colorado’s voters in a 2000 referendum."

Spies, RPh, MBA, JD, Ph DBehavioral Objectives After completing this continuing education article, the pharmacist should be able to:1. Describe the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and explain how it impacts the profession of pharmacy.2. Appraise his or her practice setting for potential violations, and, if present, make the necessary changes to comply with the federal law.3. Discuss the recent changes (both enacted and proposed) to the CSA, while relating how these changes will impact everyday pharmacy practice. The Congress of the United States enacted into law the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. 1 The CSA serves as the legal foundation of the government's fight against drugs of abuse. This law consolidates numerous laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and chemicals used in the illicit production of controlled substances. The major purpose of the CSA, however, was to enable the United States to comply with the requirements of 2 international treaties. These treaties, the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, set a system for classifying controlled substances in several schedules in accordance with binding scientific and medical findings of a public health authority. In the United States, that authority rests with the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)."

While obtaining a DEA registration may be straightforward for some, others have difficulty due to various issues including prior licensing or disciplinary issues, the nature or area of their practice, lack of experience, etc. Our professional licensing attorneys are dedicated to helping prescribers obtain and protect their DEA registration. We assist prescribers with applications for DEA registration, denials, appeals, and DEA show cause hearings. The following questions address issues that prescribers and dispensers should consider when applying for a DEA Registration. How long does it take to get a DEA Registration? The DEA’s website states that new applications (DEA Form 224) are processed within 4 to 6 weeks, while renewal applications (DEA Form 224a) are processed within approximately 4 weeks. However, it is our experience that application processing can take significantly longer than the stated times. Applicants often spend months hearing little or nothing from the DEA while incurring significant costs and losing income due to the lack of a DEA Registration. If you find yourself in this situation, you should consider hiring an attorney."

"text": "Degree Finder For Criminal Justice123Search Colleges Sponsored Schools What does the DEA do? The United States federal government has taken strides to protect Americans against drug abuse. The largest step they’ve taken toward progress is the establishment of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Formed during the summer of 1973, the DEA is a federal law enforcement agency that is responsible for dealing with drug smuggling and drug abuse within the United States. It is under the U. S. Department of Justice and works directly with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as well as with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Additionally, the DEA has been given the power to conduct United States drug investigations internationally. The Drug Enforcement Administration is responsible for inhibiting drug trafficking within the United States of America. Obviously, drug smuggling and substance abuse is a problem not easily combatted. Nevertheless, the DEA has thousands of agents working day and night to keep the streets of America free from illicit drugs. The tasks assigned to those working at the DEA varies by department, but as a whole, the Drug Enforcement Administration’s sole purpose is to lower abuse rates and death counts associated by drug abuse within the United States."

Basic DON’Ts of Shipping Marijuana Which Shippers Should You Use To Ship Weed (And Avoid)? Do These to Limit Your Risks FINAL WORDAccording to U. S. News & World Report, from October 2015 to October 2016, the number of packages containing weed or weed products rose by over 18 percent over the previous two time periods (October 2014-15 and October 2013-14). Shipping weed through the mail is a federal crime – even though half the states in the country have legalized marijuana in some form. Although data is still being collected and analyzed, two of the reasons for this increase are thought to be the following: Better detection techniques and strategies Better interaction and communication between law enforcement agencies This rise comes despite the 4% decrease in the number of arrests for mailing controlled substances overall. The Risks of Mailing Weed Image Source Although shipping marijuana is a great way to share and distribute weed, and people do it every day without consequence, it is very stressful because you’re playing with fire. The only way to completely avoid trouble is not shipping weed at all – and if you do, don’t mail more than 28 grams (one ounce) because any punishment rises significantly at that point. Under the Controlled Substances Act, cannabis marijuana is still mysteriously considered a Schedule I drug, which, according to the United States government, means it has great potential for being abused; it also means that it’s not accepted as medicine. Trafficking a Schedule I drug can result in prison time if more than 28 grams is shipped."

DOJ ensures public safety against foreign and domestic threats, including terrorism, and preventing crime. The department includes such venerable law enforcement agencies as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), US Marshals, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). DOJ is led by the United States Attorney General, the nation’s top law enforcement official and chief legal adviser to the President. Another top DOJ official is the Solicitor General, who represents the federal government in cases heard before the US Supreme Court. In spite of its mandate to enforce the law, Justice Department officials have been accused at times of bending or breaking the law to suit the political whims of an administration. This has been especially true during the current reign of President George W. Bush, whose attorneys general and solicitors general have been deeply involved with extralegal aspects the Global War on Terrorism campaign.more History: The Judiciary Act of 1789 created the Office of the Attorney General (AG) to represent the federal government in cases before the US Supreme Court and to give legal advice to the President and the heads of cabinet-level departments. For most of the 19th century, the AG was the only cabinet official not to preside over an executive department. The Judiciary Act of 1789 made no provision for a Department of Justice or even for subsidiary officers or clerical staff to assist the attorney general in his duties. As a result of this oversight, the AG’s office struggled in the beginning to keep up with its duties, even though several legislative efforts were made during the 1800s to expand the resources and available staff for the AG."

This change will impact how hydrocodone combination products are prescribed and dispensed in California. Federal requirements for prescribing and dispensing Schedule II controlled substances will apply to all HCPs. This means, among other things, a very limited ability to orally prescribe HCPs (see below) and ability to authorize refills. This guidance document provides information on some of the questions that will likely arise regarding the transition of HCPs to federal Schedule II. From the Federal Announcement: On Friday, August 22, 2014, the DEA published in the Federal Register the final rule to transfer HCPs from federal Schedule III to federal Schedule II. HCPs have been controlled in Schedule III since enactment of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1971. HCPs are the most frequently prescribed opioid in the United States; nearly 137 million prescriptions for HCPs were dispensed in 2013. Effective October 6, 2014, HCPs will be controlled as Schedule II substances under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). DEA is also permitting legitimate HCP prescriptions issued before October 6, 2014 to be refilled until April 8, 2015, if the prescription authorizes refills."

This gives ODs a new reason to advocate for their ability to prescribe these drugs in their respective states. The DEA does allow states to decide what health care professionals can prescribe within a schedule. A final rule issued by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reschedules all hydrocodone combination products as Schedule II controlled substances on this effective date. This class is more restrictive than the current Schedule III. Although this \"\"upscheduling\"\" is intended to prevent opioid abuse, the AOA fears an unintended consequence of the measure would be limiting prescribing authority for some ODs. Not all states allow ODs to prescribe Schedule II medications. Successful AOA lobbying efforts in 2012 delayed the rescheduling of this class of drugs—thus buying ODs more time to enact a \"\"fix\"\" to state law that would maintain their prescribing authority for hydrocodone combination products. A number of states have enacted such a fix over the past few years. They include Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Utah."

S. Drug Enforcement Administration (or DEA) enforces the country's laws and regulations regarding controlled substances. The DEA seeks to arrest and prosecute any individual or organization that traffics in illegal drugs in the United States. Special agents carry out this mission by conducting investigations, collecting and preparing evidence, working undercover, arresting offenders, and confiscating illegal drugs, among other activities. Many law enforcement officers, including DEA agents, are at risk of physical injury as a result of their potentially dangerous encounters with people breaking the law. Although the work can be physically and mentally taxing, many who work in law enforcement find protecting their communities by upholding the law to be emotionally rewarding. According to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for detectives and criminal investigators is $77,210 per year as of May 2015. Career Requirements at a Glance Degree Level Bachelor's degree or higher Degree Field Criminal justice, criminology, sociology or other Licensure and/or Certification Take an oath of office as a federal law enforcement officer Experience Applicants without a degree but who have extensive experience in drug-related investigations or substantial skills as a maritime pilot, accountant, auditor, military member or law enforcement officer, or in information systems, foreign language or other desired area may be considered Key Skills Strong written and oral communication skills, proven judgment, interpersonal skills, self-management, integrity and honesty, teamwork, computer skills; must pass tactical, intelligence, and firearms training, among others Median Salary (2015) $77,210 (for detectives and criminal investigators)Source: U.

C. § 811), which does not recognize the difference between medical and recreational use of marijuana. These laws are generally applied only against persons who possess, cultivate, or distribute large quantities of marijuana. Under federal law, marijuana is treated like every other controlled substance, such as cocaine and heroin. The federal government places every controlled substance in a schedule, in principle according to its relative potential for abuse and medicinal value. Under the CSA, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, which means that the federal government views marijuana as highly addictive and having no medical value. Doctors may not \"\"prescribe\"\" marijuana for medical use under federal law, though they can \"\"recommend\"\" its use under the First Amendment. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), charged with enforcing federal drug laws, has taken a substantial interest in medical marijuana patients and caregivers in general, and large cultivation and distribution operations more specifically. Over the past few years, dozens of people have been targets of federal enforcement actions. Many of them have either been arrested or had property seized. More than a hundred are currently in prison or are facing charges or ongoing criminal or civil investigations for their cultivation or distribution of medical marijuana."

"text": "\"Tops and Sweaters What Is the Definition of Vintage Clothing? Find Out if a Piece Is Vintage, Classic or Just Plain Old Share Pin Email Carlos Sanchez Pereyra / Photographer's Choice RF / Getty Imagesby Ashley Kaneupdated April 01, 2018The term \"\"vintage\"\" is used to describe clothing between 20 and 100 years old that is also clearly representative of the era in which it was produced. It could be said that to be called vintage the piece should strongly reflect styles and trends associated with that era. Vintage clothing can be haute couture or quality mainstream fashion labels; it can be used, new (from deadstock), manufactured, or handmade. It is important to understand that the definition of vintage is fluid, so every decade brings forth new items that fit into this category. It is also important to understand that all vintage will eventually become antique — clothing 100 years old or more is classified as antique. Classic style, as opposed to vintage, means a piece remains stylish through time; in other words, it does not reflect the era in which it was made but rather transcends all eras, with minor style adjustments. Examples of classic styles are the little black dress, trench coats, button-up white shirts, pumps (style, not height or type of heel) and blazers. So a little black dress from the 1980s, for instance, would be classic, not vintage, while a blazer with significant shoulder pads from that era would be vintage. Examples of Vintage by Era1920s: Flapper dresses, long beads, heeled Mary Janes, and T-strap shoes.1930s: Bolero jackets, puffed and fluttery sleeves, fedoras, oxfords, slingbacks, and peep-toe shoes.1940s: Straight tweed and wool plaid skirts, reptile handbags and shoes, platform shoes, brooches.1950s: Full skirts and petticoats, shirtwaist dresses, fur trim, twin sweater sets, strings of pearls, Wayfarer sunglasses.1960s: Early — Anything Jackie Kennedy style — elegant box-jacket suits and pillbox hats; late — bell-bottom jeans, flowing tops, hippie/bohemian style.1970s: Platforms, Birkin bag, flare jeans, boho-chic, boots (especially thigh-high), block heels, khaki.1980s: Izod golf shirts, gold chains, blazers and sweaters with strong shoulder pads, stilettos.1990s: Baggy flannel shirts, leggings, big sweaters, chokers."

"text": "\"Chanel10 Reasons to Own a Chanel Flap Bag Aug 24, 2015 Amanda Mull 458Some people dream for years of owning a Chanel Classic Flap Bag or Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag (and now, a Chanel Boy Bag ), some already own multiples of each, and still others think that they're too traditional and played-out. I couldn't agree less with that third group of people - with lots of finishes, colors and sizes, Chanel's famous flaps have a little something that everyone can appreciate, if you stay open-minded. Still on the fence? Allow me to persuade you...1 / 101. They're just going to go up in price later. Seriously, are you considering buying one? If you are, go ahead and do it. Chanel is among the masters of the crippling price increase, jacking up the MSRPs of its bags every six months to a year, sometimes by as much as $500 for a basic bag. As a general rule, bags don't hold their value all that well, but constantly rising prices keep the timeless flap bags fairly easy to resell for close to (or, in some cases, more than) what you paid. Plus, even if you don't take resale into consideration, you're just going to have to fork over more cash for the same bag in the very near future if you wait.2 / 102."

My channel (ilikeallcores) only has 1k views in total, meaning I might not get paid as much per view. But channels like PSY (350m views on GANGNAM STYLE alone) might get much much more.

"text": "The 20 Most Valuable Sneakers of 2015By Alec Leach in Sneakers Feb 1, 2016 11 Comments Share Tweet Email Comments Sneaker hype showed no sign of letting up in 2015. From Kanye West’s blockbuster collaboration with adidas to Supreme’s hysteria-inducing Jordan collaboration, last year had more than its fair share of massively successful footwear releases. With that in mind, we’ve teamed up with the sneakerhead data wizards over at Campless to bring you a detailed breakdown of the most valuable shoes to hit the resell market in 2015, illustrated by Dan Freebairn. Campless’s data is based on the sale of deadstock sneakers on e Bay, and provides a unique insight into the workings of the growing market for rare footwear – which has eclipsed over $1 billion in the USA alone. We previously split the year’s results into quarters to make things easy to digest – a bit like those boring business magazines your dad reads – but now we’re bringing you the results for 2015 in full. The charts below show the 20 most valuable sneakers of 2015, as well as the shoes that made resellers the most money on the secondary market overall. And the winner Is…The adidas YEEZY Boost 750 “Triple Black” was 2015’s most expensive sneaker on e Bay, with an eye-watering average deadstock price of $1,876. Nike’s Air Foamposite One “Tianjin” comes a close second, at an equally insane $1,853 – which is probably because it was only released in China, and therefore very hard to come by in the USA. The YEEZY fever doesn’t end there, though – six of the top ten most expensive sneakers of 2015 were Kanye’s. Supreme’s Air Jordan collab may have been one of the most hyped releases of the year, but in terms of resale value, it appears that the shoe was pretty modest – the white and “Bred” colorways both scraped their way into the charts at numbers 17 and 20 respectively (and here’s me thinking the “Desert Camo” was the best colorway)."

[ 1] It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering techniques traditionally used in regenerative medicine. [ 2] The concept of cultured meat was popularized by Jason Matheny in the early 2000s after co-authoring a seminal paper [3] on cultured meat production and creating New Harvest, the world’s first non-profit organization dedicated to supporting in vitro meat research. [ 4]Several cultured meat prototypes have gained media attention, however, because of limited dedicated research activities, cultured meat has not yet been commercialized.

We will first define it, then apply the formula needed to calculate it, and cite examples. What Is Deadweight Loss? Alice is the owner of a very successful coffee shop called the Daily Grind. Alice is so successful that she has plans to open a second location. In order for her to open a second location, she needs to hire another employee so that she doesn't have to be in the shop every day. She looks at her financials and determines that she can afford to pay a new employee $9 per hour. Alice then learns that her state government just increased the state minimum wage to $12 per hour. Alice realizes that she cannot afford an employee at $12 per hour, so she is forced to cancel her plans of expanding her business. This represents a loss to Alice because she can no longer expand her business, a loss to the employee that she could have hired at $9 per hour, and a loss to her city which will not gain the benefit of another Daily Grind location."

Consumer surplus exists when the price paid by a consumer is less than what the consumer would be willing to purchase the good for. Consumer surplus is defined by the area below the demand curve, above the price, and left of the quantity bought. Graph 3Graph 3 combines producer surplus and consumer surplus into one graph.

Growth curves are used in statistics to determine the type of growth pattern of the quantity — be it linear, exponential or cubic. Once the type of growth is determined a business can create a mathematical model to predict future sales. An example of a growth curve is a country's population over time. Next Up Microeconomic Pricing Model Normal Yield Curve Quantity Supplied Supply Curve BREAKING DOWN 'Growth Curve'The shape of the growth curve can make a big difference when businesses determine whether to launch a new product or enter a new market. Slow growth markets are less likely to be appealing because there is less room for profit, while exponential growth could mean that the market could see a lot of competitors enter the market. Growth curves began in the physical sciences such as biology; today, they're a common component to social sciences as well. Advancements in digital technologies and business models now require analysts to account for growth patterns unique to the modern economy. For example, the winner-take-all phenomenon is a fairly recent development brought on by the likes of Amazon, Google, and Apple. Researchers are scrambling to make sense of growth curves unique to their business models and platforms."

Shortages: not all buyers will be able to purchase the good Normally, buyers would compete with each other by offering a higher price. If price is not allowed to rise, buyers must compete in other ways Some buyers may be willing to bribe sellers in order to obtain the good Buyers can also compete with each other through their willingness to wait in line. Bribes and waits both lead to a total price that is greater than the controlled price, (but they are different) The total value of wasted time is represented by the area between the horizontal lines at the price that buyers are willing to pay and the controlled price (ceiling) and the vertical line at the quantity supplied at the controlled price."

"text": "In summary ... Force is a measure of the interaction between bodies, mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object, weight is the gravitational force acting on a body (although for trading purposes it is taken to mean the same as mass) and load usually means the force exerted on a surface or body. In detail ... Force Force is a measure of the interaction between bodies. It takes a number of forms including short-range atomic forces, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity, with both direction and magnitude. If the forces acting on a body in equilibrium are summed around the periphery of the body they add to zero. If there is any resultant force acting the body is not in equilibrium and it will accelerate such that the rate of change of the body's momentum (velocity × mass) is equal and opposite to the force. If the body is held stationary in some way, then there will be a reaction acting on the body from the support structure that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force imposed. Although the definition of force units is based on acceleration of a free body, most force measurements are made on bodies in equilibrium, and are therefore measures of forces within a structure. Conceptually a structure can be 'cut' across any section and the forces acting within the body at that section are those which would act at the free surfaces if such a cut were made. This property is the basis of most force measurements - a physical support or link in a structure is replaced with a device that measures the forces acting at that point."

"text": "September 16, 2014Oil tanker sizes range from general purpose to ultra-large crude carriers on AFRA scale Source: T. Mason Hamilton, U. S. Energy Information Administration The global crude oil and refined product tanker fleet uses a classification system to standardize contract terms, establish shipping costs, and determine the ability of ships to travel into ports or through certain straits and channels. This system, known as the Average Freight Rate Assessment (AFRA) system, was established by Royal Dutch Shell six decades ago, and is overseen by the London Tanker Brokers' Panel ( LTBP ), an independent group of shipping brokers. AFRA uses a scale that classifies tanker vessels according to deadweight tons, a measure of a ship's capacity to carry cargo. The approximate capacity of a ship in barrels is determined by using an estimated 90% of a ship's deadweight tonnage, and multiplying that by a barrel per metric ton conversion factor specific to each type of petroleum product and crude oil, as liquid fuel densities vary by type and grade. Source: U. S. Energy Information Administration, London Tanker Brokers' Panel Note: AFRAMAX is not an official vessel classification on the AFRA scale but is shown here for comparison. The smaller vessels on the AFRA scale, the General Purpose (GP) and Medium Range (MR) tankers, are commonly used to transport cargos of refined petroleum products over relatively shorter distances, such as from Europe to the U. S. East Coast. Their smaller size allows them to access most ports across the globe. A GP tanker can carry between 70,000 barrels and 190,000 barrels of motor gasoline (3.2-8 million gallons) and an MR tanker can carry between 190,000 barrels and 345,000 barrels (8-14.5 million gallons). Long Range (LR) class ships are the most common in the global tanker fleet, as they are used to carry both refined products and crude oil. These ships can access most large ports that ship crude oil and petroleum products."

FAST!! so how many pounds or thousands does it equal? thnx : DFollow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are three similar units of mass called the ton: long ton (simply ton in countries such as the United Kingdom which formerly used the Imperial system of weights and measures) is a weight ton or gross ton, and is 2,240 lb (exactly 1,016.0469088 kg). In the UK and most of the areas which used the Imperial system, the metric tonne (1,000 kg), which it is conveniently very similar to—less than 2% difference—is the only form of ton legal for trade. In the iron industry in the 17th century and 18th century, a ton shortweight was the standard 2,240 lb, whereas a ton longweight was 2,400 lb (the hundredweight being 120 lb). The long ton is used for petroleum products such as aviation fuel. Deadweight ton (abbreviation 'dwt') is a measure of a ship's carrying capacity, including bunker oil, fresh water, crew and provisions. It is expressed in metric tons (1,000 kg) or long tons (2,240 pounds, about 1,016 kg) [1]. This measurement is also used in the U. S. tonnage of naval ships. Increasingly, metric tonnes are being used rather than long tons in measuring the displacement of ships. See tonnage."

This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. Introduction A binding minimum wage leads to numerous detrimental effects in a competitive labour market. This essay will highlight what these effects are, and what the outcome of these effects will bring to the labour market. A labour market is defined by Parkin as a market where \"\"employers are on the demand side and workers are on the supply side. Firms decide how much labour to demand, and the lower the wage rate, the greater is the quantity demanded (Parkin, et al., 2008)\"\". It is said to be competitive when there is a surplus of workers that are seeking a job, with few employer's willing to hire. A minimum wage is a price floor implemented by the government, which ensures that an employer must pay a minimum rate of pay to an employee, and anything lower than this rate of pay is illegal. \"\""

"text": "Reasons for Efficiency Loss A monopoly generates less surplus and is less efficient than a competitive market, and therefore results in deadweight loss. Learning Objectives Evaluate the economic inefficiency created by monopolies Key Takeaways Key Points The monopoly pricing creates a deadweight loss because the firm forgoes transactions with the consumers. Monopolies can become inefficient and less innovative over time because they do not have to compete with other producers in a marketplace. In the case of monopolies, abuse of power can lead to market failure. Market failure occurs when the price mechanism fails to take into account all of the costs and/or benefits of providing and consuming a good. A monopoly is an imperfect market that restricts output in an attempt to maximize profit. Without the presence of market competitors it can be challenging for a monopoly to self-regulate and remain competitive over time. Key Termsmonopoly: A market where one company is the sole supplier.market failure: A concept within economic theory describing when the allocation of goods and services by a free market is not efficient.inefficient: Incapable of, or indisposed to, effective action; habitually slack or remiss; effecting little or nothing; as, inefficient workers; an inefficient administrator. Monopoly A monopoly exists when a specific enterprise is the only supplier of a particular commodity. Monopolies have little to no competition when producing a good or service."

"text": "\"IMO's major function is to make shipping of all types safer, including tankers. The measures incorporated in the numerous safety conventions and recommendations apply to these as well as other ships - and the safer a ship is, the less likely it is to be involved in an accident. SOLASThe International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea ( SOLAS ), 1974 includes special requirements for tankers. Fire safety provisions, for example, are much more stringent for tankers than ordinary dry cargo ships, since the danger of fire on board ships carrying oil and refined products is much greater. Inert gas systems It is not just fire which is dangerous - in certain circumstances a single spark can cause a disaster, for even tanks which contain no oil are filled with flammable gas which can explode unless proper procedures are followed. The normal method is to fill these tanks with inert (non-explosive) gas from the ship's boiler flue: it is cleaned and then pumped into the empty tanks, or into the spaces left above the oil in loaded tanks. An inert gas system is required on all new tankers and most existing tankers of 20,000 dwt and above. Equipment duplication IMO has introduced several measures over the years which are designed to ensure that, in the event of mechanical failure, the ship can still be controlled. SOLAS makes it necessary for essential parts of the steering gear of tankers to be duplicated. As with other ships, much of the navigational equipment of tankers must also be duplicated."

[ 1] A failure to pay, or evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable by law. Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent. Most countries have a tax system in place to pay for public/common/agreed national needs and government functions: some levy a flat percentage rate of taxation on personal annual income, some on a scale based on annual income amounts, and some countries impose almost no taxation at all, or a very low tax rate for a certain area of taxation. Some countries charge a tax both on corporate income and dividends; this is often referred to as double taxation as the individual shareholder (s) receiving this payment from the company will also be levied some tax on that personal income.

For example, some transfers to the public sector are comparable to prices. Examples include tuition at public universities and fees for utilities provided by local governments. Governments also obtain resources by \"\"creating\"\" money and coins (for example, by printing bills and by minting coins), through voluntary gifts (for example, contributions to public universities and museums), by imposing penalties (such as traffic fines), by borrowing, and by confiscating wealth. From the view of economists, a tax is a non-penal, yet compulsory transfer of resources from the private to the public sector levied on a basis of predetermined criteria and without reference to specific benefit received."

"text": "Jon Hartley Contributor Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Opinion 5/31/2016 @ 11:55PM 24,397 views India's Price Ceiling On Uber Rides Hurts Riders, Drivers And The Economy Co-authored by Jon Hartley and Nawaphon Sittisawassakul Cellphone hailing Uber car (Photo credit: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/Getty Images)Recent regulatory blowback against Uber, Lyft and other ridesharing services around the world have reignited the ongoing regulatory policy debate surrounding the ride service in India, Uber’s second biggest market in terms of cities where it operates. Most prominently, India’s government recently enacted legislation that allows major cities to arbitrarily set limits how much ride service companies such as Uber can charge riders during peak times. As surge pricing often results in fares above the new price ceilings set by the Indian government resulting in supply-demand problems, a potential shortage of rides problem now arises during times of peak demand. Meanwhile, opponents against surge pricing in India argue that the fare price ceiling helps to maintain competitive fares for current cab drivers. The Rideshare Uprising Around The World Price ceilings on Uber fares will create shortages of available drivers, longer wait times and deadweight loss If India really cared for its drivers and riders, it would remove the price ceiling for surge pricing during peak times in order for the supply-demand of rides to reach what economists call an equilibrium. There are examples throughout history that when a government sets these sort of price controls on goods, it interferes with the natural supply and demand equilibrium price and amount of those goods, creating shortages and surpluses. For example, long lines formed at gas stations during the 1970s when the U. S. government put a price ceiling on gasoline, stopping the price from going high enough to reach the equilibrium market clearing price between consumers and producers, creating a shortage. Consumers were incentivized to consume more of the good than they would have consumed under normal market conditions and producers were incentivized to produce less of the good because they couldn’t sell at a price high enough to recoup costs and make profits. India’s current price ceiling and the predictable shortages for rides during peak times is bad for both the riders, drivers, society, and leads to a deadweight loss because of the misallocation of time, money, human capital and human potential."

"text": "Factory Invoice Price vs Dealer Invoice Price March 12, 2013Comments Email When shopping for a car, knowing the invoice prices on the car you want is the key to negotiating a great deal. Where it gets confusing however, is finding the right invoice price to base your negotiations on. In the car industry, there are generally two prices: the dealer invoice and the factory invoice price. Knowing the difference between the two gives you a far stronger and more accurate negotiating position. Dealers actually have to buy their inventory from the manufacturer. They are independent businesses, or franchises, not run by the top manufacturers like Ford or Dodge. Dealers can sell their products, but they have to buy their inventory before they can sell it. See what kind of prices you can get on a new car >>Dealer Invoice The dealer invoice is the price the manufacturer bills the dealer for the vehicles they purchase, plus any options equipped. This is in essence the dealer's cost, and is not generally shared with the customer. All dealerships pay this same general price for a vehicle from the factory, and it does not include any of the individual fees that vary from dealer to dealer."

No matter how much research you’ve done, or how hard you’ve bargained, you may still second guess yourself, wondering if you struck the best deal. Here are five things dealers may not tell you that can save you money on your next car purchase. Invoice Price Isn’t Our Bottom Line Most of us know that the sticker price is just a starting point for negotiations. And we may even know to research the invoice price. But most of us don’t realize that even when we buy a car “at invoice” the dealer has plenty of other ways to make a small profit. One of those ways is something called the “dealer holdback. ”According to Edmunds.com, an amount called a “holdback” is 2-3% of either the MSRP or the invoice. After the car is sold, the manufacturer pays this amount to the dealer, hence the name “dealer holdback.” On a $20,000 car, a 2% holdback would be $400."

"text": "\"Which Dealer Fees Are Legitimate? With all the horror stories regarding dealerships, it's good to be skeptical when it comes to all the extra fees associated with a car purchase. There are certainly some legitimate fees that dealers have no control over, but some try to pad their profits by simply making up fees - kind of like the \"\"convenience fee\"\" charged by some companies. Let's first take a look at all the legitimate fees: Legitimate Fees Tax, Title, License All dealerships charge tax, title, and license fees (also referred to as registration fees). These go straight to the government and will vary depending on your state and city. The title and license fees go toward securing your title (proof of ownership), registering for a license plate and getting you setup with temporary tags. The dealership does not keep any of these fees, but rather pays them directly to the state, saving you a trip to the DMV. Dealer Documentation Fee Also called the \"\"Doc Fee\"\", this is the amount a dealer charges to complete all the paperwork related to the sale of a vehicle, including the sales contracts, filings with the DMV, and any other paperwork. Some states put a limit to how much a dealer can charge, but others have no cap - resulting in each dealer charging a different amount. Doc fees typically range between $55 and $700 and are usually non-negotiable."

Please let me know. Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Marketing is great. The dealership actually pays less than invoice for the cars. While I don't know who actully comes up with the \"\"invoice\"\" price, it is used as a \"\"bottom line\"\" for most dealerships. Most dealerships will not sell anything below invoice, and they will tell you it is they're cost. The truth is, the dealership does not actually own any of their new cars... they are being financed through the manufacturer's bank. ( example: Chevy's are financed through GMAC). I was a salesman at a very large dealership and we would sell cars for under invoice every day, but we made up with those price cuts with heavy volume and we sold tons of used cars as well."

I'm assuming you've already narrowed your choice of vehicle down to one or two very specific models, and are ready to make the purchase. The process I've outlined below works best if you give yourself at least one week to go through all the steps. This is to ensure enough time for thorough price comparisons. By now, you should have already test-driven a variety of vehicles and know the exact trim, colors and options you want. If you're not at this stage yet, or you're wanting to buy a used vehicle instead, don't worry - you'll still get plenty of useful tips from reading this. The further ahead you know about the process, the more time you'll have to prepare and comparison shop every portion of your deal, new or used. Most car shoppers have tunnel vision when it comes to getting a great deal. They tend to focus on the price while ignoring other areas such as their financing, trade-in, extended warranties, and car insurance. One of my main objectives is to get you to see that buying a car is way more than just negotiating the price."

We were within a few minutes of inking the purchase order for a new GL450, but wound up dropping by the Porsche dealer. My wife fell in love with a close-out of an insane new 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. She got us $27,000 off the sticker of the Porsche ($12,000 below invoice), so we got that instead. My wife saves us so much money I couldn't afford not to have her. We had already gotten a great price for the Mercedes, and thought all could benefit by sharing how we got such a great deal. We'd use two-for-one coupons for hot dogs at Costco if we could find them. Getting a great deal is more important to us than what we're buying.

"text": "Monroney sticker Cars.com photo by Angela Conners CARS. COM — It's a four-letter abbreviation you don't need to be a car shopper to have seen, but paying attention to what it is means a lot more to your wallet with a vehicle than it does with a cheese grater. So what is the definition of MSRP, and what does it mean on a new car? Related: More Car Buying Advice MSRP stands for the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price — also known as “sticker” price — which is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car. A dealer uses the MSRP as a price to sell each vehicle; it's different from invoice price on a car, which can stand thousands below the sale price. MSRP isn’t a set-in-stone figure — hence suggested retail price — and you can often negotiate the selling price to influence your car's out-the-door cost. In turn, dealers aren’t obligated to sell a car at this price, either, and depending on demand and availability of the vehicle in question, they can adjust their selling price. When dealerships mark up a hot new car, it can sometimes inflate the cost above MSRP. The manufacturer usually frowns on this practice, but that hasn't stopped car dealers from occasionally setting the sale price for a new car that's in high demand — particularly one with an enthusiast following — at thousands above MSRP. You might ask, “Then what should I pay for the car?”"

"text": "\"Guide to Car Pricing Terms A glossary of common terms shoppers need to understand when pricing a new car By Consumer Reports August 01, 2017The most effective way to negotiate a new car's price is to find out what others in your market have paid for the same vehicle. You can gather information from a variety of sources and put it together yourself, starting with the dealer's cost and bargaining up from there. To figure out the true dealer cost on your own, you have to piece together the various elements of the auto-pricing puzzle. Alternatively, you can use the Consumer Reports.org Build & Buy service, which does all the legwork for you. Whichever way you go, here are the terms with which you should be familiar when shopping for a car: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is the price that the automaker publishes for any given model and trim line. Because it's \"\"suggested,\"\" dealers are free to sell a vehicle for a figure that's higher or lower than the MSRP. The base price, excluding any options, destination charge, or other fee, is the initial figure you'll find in pricing guides, most car reviews, and on pricing websites. The total MSRP, commonly called the sticker price because it's the bottom-line figure on a car's window sticker, is the base price plus any options, option-package discounts, and destination charge. Unless a model is in very high demand, you can generally buy a vehicle for less than the sticker price. Dealer-Invoice Price The invoice price is the figure printed on the dealer's invoice from the manufacturer."

There is a big difference between the two and not understanding the difference could cost you a lot of money. While a car salesperson will focus on the sticker price when negotiating, you must focus on the invoice price. Invoice prices used to be a well hidden secret that only the dealer knew.

"text": "\"New Car MSRP vs. Invoice: Which Price Should You Pay?by Trent Loomis (Dec 20, 2012)Knowing the price you should pay for your new car is considered the most important aspect of the new car buying process. Different price points like MSRP, invoice and sticker pricing are all thrown into the conversation when researching and negotiating your new car price. What you really want to know is, how are they different and what do they mean to you? Today's new car buyers would be surprised to discover that the MSRP or invoice price isn't always the most accurate price for your new car. Your best price is what's known as the market price, but we'll get to that in a moment. First, it's important to understand what MSRP and invoice pricing actually mean. MSRP stands for Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price. The manufacturer cannot set the price at which dealers sell their cars - they can only suggest a price. The MSRP includes standard equipment plus any factory-installed options. The MSRP is listed on a sticker, which is posted on the car."

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

"text": "June 2, 2015‘Supernatural’ Spoilers Confirm Jared Padalecki Will Return Next Season TVEdward VKanty Warning: This article may contain spoilers for season 11 of Supernatural. Most fans of Supernatural are aware that, early in May, Jared Padalecki cancelled public appearances related to his role in the hit series Supernatural due to illness and a need to be close to family. This came shortly after Mr. Padalecki revealed an ongoing struggle with depression and mental illness, fueling rumors that Jared would not be returning for the new season of Supernatural. Mr. Padalecki’s representative recently released a statement confirming that the Supernatural actor was already improving with the love and support of those close to him and that there was no reason to think Jared would not be returning to Supernatural. “He’s doing better already and is excited about shooting Supernatural Season 11 this July. For now he’s taking a break, but is so appreciative of his fans, and sees and feels their love and support. ”Jensen Ackles proved he was every bit the brother to Jared that his Supernatural character is to Sam Winchester when he recently spoke up for Padalecki at a Supernatural convention. “He’s a big guy with a big heart and sometimes he just doesn’t know when to stop giving himself and he gives himself a lot to what he does, he gives himself a lot to you guys and he gives himself a lot to his family, friends, work and his job. Sometimes you just need to get home and rest with your family. That’s what he’s doing."

"title": "http://www.obamadeathpanel2009.com/\nWHAT IS AN OBAMA DEATH PANEL?",
"text": "\"INTRODUCTION: Death Panels (also known as Death Councils) entered the public consciousness in 2009 when former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin claimed, on Facebook, President Obama's health care reform initiative would entail the creation of Death Panels. Palin was among the first prominent figures in the news to identify as a Deather. The summer of 2009 was, indeed, The Summer of Death; and not just because many famous people like Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed Mc Mahon passed. The summer of 2009 was the inundation of Death Panels - in the news, on the streets and at Town Hall meetings. The Summer Scare of Death Panels seemed to be omnipresent. Thus, this website is devoted to the infamous concept that the government stalks the elderly with the intention of killing them. A Death Panel (AKA Obama Death Council) is a government agency that would decide who would receive health care and who would not receive health care based on some form of standard implemented by the government. Palin worried that an institution of such Death Panels would place her own child (born with Down's Syndrome) at risk and would especially target the elderly and the infirmed (such as those with disabilities). Palin specifically used the phrase \"\"Obama Death Panel\"\" which immediately thrust that phrase into the spotlight. It became so commonly used in political banter, analyst Rachel Maddow of MSNBC often substantiated the phrase as \"\"The Secret Plot to Kill Old People\"\"."

Story highlights Manson is being held in isolation after being caught with a weapon in October\"\"We will never hear from Charlie Manson again,\"\" says Debra Tate, sister of victim\"\"I have put five people in the grave. ... I'm a very dangerous man,\"\" Manson told psychologist Manson, 77, serving a life sentence for nine murders, didn't show up to hearing Notorious killer Charles Manson, 77, was denied parole Wednesday after a California parole panel \"\"could find nothing good as far as suitability\"\" for his being paroled, a commissioner said. Manson didn't show up for his parole hearing, which was held at a state prison in Corcoran, California, where he is serving a life sentence. Manson's next parole hearing was scheduled for 15 years from now, meaning he could die in prison. California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner John Peck said that Manson has accumulated 108 serious disciplinary violations in prison since 1971 and that he has shown no indication of remorse for his nine murder convictions. Manson hasn't participated in any self-help programs or vocational training, Peck said. Manson also hasn't shown any parole plans, he said. Peck also cited Manson's statement to a psychologist in a prison interview on November 2, 2011, in which Manson stated:\"\"I am special. I am not like the average inmate."

John W. Poole/NPRThis is our second report in the NPR News Investigations series Post Mortem: Death Investigation in America in partnership with Pro Publica and PBS Frontline. When someone dies unexpectedly or in suspicious circumstances it is the job of a coroner or medical examiner to investigate what caused the death.

When I was a teenager I had to take a class in High School called Driver’s Ed, it was required to get a driver’s license at 16, and on one of the classroom tests they asked Test Question: On a car, what is the difference between the rocker arms and the rocker panels? Seriously! What this had to do w/driving a car I’m unsure. At the time I had no idea what either term meant. But years later at least I know what rocker arms are, and the name sort of makes sense, as these are engine gadgets that actually do rock back and forth on a pivot. So “rocker arms” makes sense to me. But why the term “rocker panels”? This as far as I can tell is a structural-part on the car, something you have to step over to get inside, but they don’t rock back and forth on any pivots."

"text": "Special report: How the rise of a mega solar panel farm shows us the future of energy Katie Fehrenbacher Jan 20, 2015 - 6:00 AM CDT34 Comments Credit: First Solar Tweet Share Post After about an hour of weaving up and down the winding, mountainous, two-lane highway that is route 58, eastbound from San Luis Obispo, I honestly started to wonder where 9 million solar panels — one of the world’s largest operating solar panel farms that was built in this region — could be hiding. I passed a herd of ranch buffalo that stared lazily at my car from behind a barbed wire fence, then a tiny winery hidden amid a forest (unfortunately, not open for public tastings). But mostly, it was just endless hills of patchy farm land interspersed by dense forest. Then as the elevation started to flatten out and I was just about to pull over to recheck my GPS coordinates, large electrical lines appeared in the distance. They weren’t the kind that connect to the wooden street poles around your house, but big stocky transmission systems that are meant to deliver large amounts of power over very long distances. I knew I was almost there. The Topaz solar farm. The mountains gave way to a completely flat, misty plain made up mostly of farm land with grazing cattle, and a few rancher’s homes that hugged the road. Then finally in the distance I spotted what I’d driven about five hours south from San Francisco to check out: the first glimpse of an endless sea of rows and rows of gray solar panels. It’s a monument of steel poles and sun-worshiping geometry."

"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."

M.: Since this original article was published, Kit Harington’s Game of Thrones co-star, actress Emilia Clarke, went on record saying she thinks there’s a ”50/50“ chance Jon Snow will come back from the dead. That story (coupled with more alleged sightings of Kit Harington in Belfast—a popular Game of Thrones filming location) had enough legs that fans of both the HBO series and Lord Commander Snow were ready to jump all over the fact that Harington appeared at Wimbledon this weekend with his long, luscious locks looking very Westeros-ready. Take a look at those luxurious curls in action on July 2, before reading five more compelling reasons why we’re not quite ready to believe Jon Snow is gone for good in the original article below. By Ian Walton/Getty Images It’s only been a little over a week since the Game of Thrones finale but the speculation over the fate of main character Jon Snow is going strong. Is he really gone for good as the show’s creators and stars insist? Or can we still hold out hope that, even on a bloodthirsty show like Game of Thrones, there is some possibility for Kit Harington’s return? Well, new information, including exciting Season 6 casting info and a big change for the upcoming Comic-Con panel, should be enough to keep hope alive for Jon Snow truthers out there. The Comic-Con Panel: Just today HBO announced who would appear on the July 10 Game of Thrones panel at Comic-Con. There’s a pretty decent lineup of actors in attendance: Alfie Allen (Theon/Reek ), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Conleth Hill (Varys), Hannah Murray (Gilly), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Carice van Houten (Melissandre), and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)."

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)Here are the answers to the most common Frequently Asked Questions or FAQs that we are asked about group B Strep in pregnancy and beyond. What is group B Strep? Group B Streptococcus (GBS or group B Strep) is a normal bacterium which is carried by 20-40% of adults, most commonly in the gut, and for around 25% of women, in the vagina, usually without symptoms or side-effects. Carrying GBS is perfectly normal and natural and is not associated with any health risks or symptoms to the carrier. GBS can be passed from one person to another through sexual activity, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease, and is also carried by people who have had no sexual contact. Simply carrying GBS (detected from vaginal or rectal swabs) does not require treatment. However, GBS detected in the urine/ blood usually signifies a GBS infection, which may require antibiotics treatment – your doctor can advise further. More information on GBS can be found by clicking here. It’s good to know whether you carry GBS during pregnancy – if detected during your current pregnancy, you should be offered intravenous antibiotics in labour."

"text": "Debarking is a veterinary surgery that involves removing tissue from the dog’s vocal cords. This results in a dog’s voice being quieter, when done properly. It does not stop barking as the word debarking implies, but the bark now sounds like a whisper, and is thus not irritating to neighbors of dog owners that frequently bark. Debarking dogs is a controversial topic. Some feel it is simply wrong to subject an animal to unnecessary surgery. Further they feel the dog may be emotionally damaged by loss of its voice. Most argue that with training, most dogs, even the “barky” breeds can be trained to bark less frequently. They see debarking as a lazy and cruel method for getting a dog to be quieter. Supporters of debarking argue that the procedure saves the lives of many dogs that might be sent to pounds because of incessant barking. Some people acquire a dog that barks frequently and are soon immersed in struggles with neighbors who must listen to the dog barking at all hours of the day and night."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Physics Which direction does the friction force act on bicycle tires? Both front and rear.? The bike's tires are both moving in the anticlockwise direction.5 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In bicycle, pedalling is done on rear wheel. This means that we try to rotate the rear wheel to move forward. The rear wheel pushes the ground backwards and gets the forward frictional force which pushes the bicycle forward. The front wheel is being pushed forward (through the connecting rod between the rear and front wheels) which results in the backward frictional force on its tire which rotate it in the same direction as the rear wheel. The static frictional force which acts on both the wheels is a friendly force that helps the bicycle move without loss of energy. Energy loss is due to rolling friction which is backwards on both the wheels. Conclusion: Backward static frictional force (opposite to the direction of motion) on the front wheel and forward static frictional force (in the direction of motion) on the rear wheel. Rolling frictional force is backwards on both the wheels."

But even without a common language between human and canine, our dogs say an awful lot to us through their bark alone. So imagine if that sole vocal form of communication was taken away. In an effort to give a voice back to the dogs, Massachusetts passed bill H. B. 344, known as “Logan’s Law,” that bans the controversial de-barking procedure without a diagnosed medical purpose. While several states have attempted similar legislation, including California, New Jersey, and Ohio, Massachusetts has set the precedent by fully banning the devocalization surgery. Ohio currently maintains a law that only “vicious” dogs may undergo the procedure. The Animal Law Coalition hopes that this recent development in Massachusetts will encourage other states to adopt similar legislation and set the standard for debarking regulations. Related: Why dogs bark Devocalization“Devocalization does not address the underlying behavior that may be causing the barking or crying,” states the ALC on their site. “ The reason for the barking or crying, whether fear, boredom, stress, will continue and escalate, and a devocalized dog or cat may act out in other ways, including by biting, and as a result, end up in the pound. ”The reasons for devocalization vary among cases, but the majority stem from behavioral issues and breeding practices."

"text": "Pets Costs > Dogs > How Much Does Dog Debarking Surgery Cost? How Much Does Dog Debarking Surgery Cost? Debarking a dog is a surgical procedure that many veterinarians perform, often referred to as a cordectomy. The “official” veterinary medical term for the procedure is ventriculocordectomy. During this process, the vet will remove the dog’s vocal cords to permanently reduce the volume of their bark. This process not only has many risks, but it has also been outlawed in countries such as the United Kingdom since many activists find this procedure to be inhumane. The cost of this procedure is going to greatly depend on the vet performing the procedure and geographical location.“ Dog ” ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) by Infomastern How much is it? On average, the surgical procedure is going to cost anywhere from $75 to as much as $300 . Keep in mind that many vet offices may not perform the procedure as they find that is highly unnecessary and unethical."

The ABS/Traction control uses this information to process how to apply the individual wheel brakes (no driver input needed) to slow the car and gain more positive traction. There is also a tie in with the Engine management controls of the vehicle (mostly through the throttle control). There is no physical connection between the throttle pedal and the throttle valve, it is a \"\"fly by wire\"\" car. The engine management/ traction control work together to keep the car stable. VW calls their program ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and it can be \"\"turned off\"\" through the button on the center console. However, it is imbedded in the car's electronics and can not really be defeated."

Many times the question arises in an accident about whether or not someone had their headlamps on low or on high beam. Were they using their turn signal? Or were other basic indicator lights illuminated? Sometimes as a result of the collision there may be scientific evidence that may be collected from a bulb or even its remnants that could help answer these question Second let’s consider the vehicle’s tires. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident there may be questions about tire failure. Valuable evidence regarding this can be collected from a careful inspection. Also the tires could be overly worn or improperly inflated and lead to a hydroplaning incident. Or maybe the tires are unevenly worn indicating a possible alignment issue. Also it is important for accident reconstruction purposes to know if the wheels became pinned or locked due to the collision because this affects the post-impact energy-speed calculations."

Generally speaking, the words pallet and skid are used to refer to a platform that supports goods in a stable manner while they are being loaded or transported through a jack or a forklift. It is a flat surface that increases handling and storage efficiency. You must have seen goods and even shipping containers being kept on these wooden surfaces if you have ever been to a dock. The goods are often secured with strings when kept on these pallets. Though people use the words pallet and skid interchangeably, there are differences between the two that will be discussed in this article. What is a Skid? A skid is a single deck loading platform. It does not have a bottom deck. People related to the transportation industry refer to them as low profile mobile platforms."

The rasp, they explained, came from efforts the dog's previous owners made to solve her barking problem surgically -- snipping away at her vocal cords. I'd never heard of such a thing -- perhaps it's not that common or perhaps owners who resort to it are abashed -- but it makes sense in cases where the dog is driving you and/or your neighbors crazy and the only realistic alternative is leaving it off at the municipal shelter. A site that touts the surgery, called \"\"cordectomy,\"\" says: A dog that has been debarked still will make a sound but it is similar to a person with a bad case of laryngitis. The bark comes out very faint and raspy. It will be enough to give an owner warning when someone comes around but not enough for the neighbors to hear behind closed doors.... The dogs themselves don’t know the difference in their bark and happy owners mean better cared for pets. However this article says the surgery is \"\"barbaric and drastic,\"\" and claims the solution to excessive barking is diligent obedience training. This veterinary clinic touts citronella collars as the solution and says After the operation, dogs have only a whispery bark, and most of the time both dogs and owners are quite happy with this. Unfortunately, some or all of the the bark comes back within a few months. Because we know how awful it would be to \"\"debark\"\" a person, many people think the operation is inhumane."

The sentence is, he resorted to debasing the coinage, thanks! :) Follow 1 answer Answers Best Answer: Debasement is the practice of lowering the value of currency. It is particularly used in connection with commodity money such as gold or silver coins. A coin is said to be debased if the quantity of gold, silver, copper or nickel is reduced. Fiat or paper money is debased when volume of money printed is greater than demand. This reduces the value of paper money and causes monetary based inflation. In contrast to commodity money in which each coin is changed, fiat currency only requires electronic or physical printing to decrease its value. For example, the value of the denarius in Roman currency gradually decreased over time as the Roman government altered both the size and the silver content of the coin."

Although the term oligarchy is rarely used to refer to contemporary political systems, the phenomenon of irresponsible rule by small groups has not…READ MOREAristotle used the term oligarchia to designate the rule of the few when it was exercised not by the best but by bad men unjustly. In this sense, oligarchy is a debased form of aristocracy, which denotes government by the few in which power is vested in the best individuals. Most classic oligarchies have resulted when governing elites were recruited exclusively from a ruling caste—a hereditary social grouping that is set apart from the rest of society by religion, kinship, economic status, prestige, or even language. Such elites tend to exercise power in the interests of their own class. It is a recurrent idea that all forms of government are in the final analysis reducible to the rule of a few. Oligarchs will secure effective control whether the formal authority is vested in the people, a monarch, the proletariat, or a dictator. Thus, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels insisted that, throughout capitalism, the key capitalists had controlled the government; they coined the dictum, “the state is the executive committee of the exploiting class.” The Italian political scientist Gaetano Mosca likewise insisted that a “ruling class” always constituted the effective oligarchic control."

Under Constantine, who introduced it on a wide scale, it had a weight of about 4.5 grams. It was largely replaced in Western Europe by Pepin the Short 's currency reform, which introduced the silver -based pound / shilling / penny system, under which the shilling ( Latin: solidus) functioned as a unit of account equivalent to 12 pence, eventually developing into the French sou. In Eastern Europe, the nomisma was gradually debased by the Byzantine emperors until it was abolished by Alexius I in 1092, who replaced it with the hyperpyron, which also came to be known as a \"\"bezant\"\". The Byzantine solidus also inspired the originally slightly less pure Arabian dinar. In late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, the solidus also functioned as a unit of weight equal to 1/72 of a pound."

Downloadchapter 3 Some Aspects of Wage Payments and Coinage in Ancient Rome, First to Third Centuries ce∗ Johan van Heesch The Roman Empire stretched over more than thirty modern states, from Great Britain in the west to Jordan in the east and from the Netherlands in the north to Egypt and Morocco in the south. Although the empire was ruled by a single emperor and by a fairly centralized government, there were important social and economic differences across such a wide territory. In that pre-industrial society, mass production and very large factories were excep- tional, and few really large towns existed, among them Rome, Alexandria, and Antioch, cities that were essentially parasites on the countryside, which was where at least eighty per cent of people lived, working in small villages or on farms. Coinage use and coinage circulation patterns varied from one area to another and it is certain that barter and other forms of payment were used side by side in more isolated areas of the empire. During the first three centuries of the Roman Empire the Roman impe- rial government minted nine different denominations of coins in three met- als (gold, silver, and bronze), which in itself is sufficient reason to believe that the Roman monetary economy was fairly well developed and that coins – at least in major towns – were probably used in almost the same way as today."

Or was it white men of means and property? And is “all men” to be understood in a generic sense; that is, to include all women as well? That question is for a different paper. The issue at hand here is slavery. How and why could a nation built on a principle, a revolutionary one, of the basic equality of all men, have maintained for nearly a century an institution as unquestionably antagonistic to that very principle and debased as slavery? Why did the men who courageously and eloquently defied the King of England in the name of liberty not see fit to liberate those who toiled in their fields? Indeed, many of the Founders were slaveholders themselves, including three of the first four Presidents."

"text": "Mass Inflation Ahead — Save Your Nickels!Note: Permission to reprint, repost or forward the following article in full is granted, but only if it is not edited or excerpted. By James Wesley, Rawles — Editor of survivalblog.com Updated: February 27, 2015I’ve often mused about how fun it would be to have a time machine and travel back to the early 1960s, and go on a pre-inflation shopping spree. In that era, most used cars were less than $800, and a new-in-the box Colt .45 Automatic sold for $60. In particular, it would be great to go back and get a huge pile of rolls of then-circulating US silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars at face value. ( With silver presently around $30 per ounce, the US 90% silver (1964 and earlier) coinage is selling wholesale at 22 times face value–that is $22,000 for a $1,000 face value bag. ) The disappearance of 90% silver coins from circulation in the US in the mid-1960s beautifully illustrated Gresham’s Law: “Bad Money Drives Out Good.” People quickly realized that the debased copper sandwich coins were bogus, so anyone with half a brain saved every pre-’65 (90% silver) coin that they could find. ( This resulted in a coin shortage from 1965 to 1967, while the mint frantically played catch up, producing millions of cupronickel “clad” coins. This production was so hurried that they even skipped putting mint marks on coins from 1965 to 1967. ) Alas, there are no time machines."

By Troy Patterson Please send your questions for publication to [email protected]. ( Questions may be edited. ) The term RSVP is so misused. In the context of invitations to weddings and other ceremonious events, it retains its original meaning, but in less formal circumstances it now means give us a response if you are coming without the need to respond if not attending. My quandary: I received a work-related picnic invitation that told recipients that we “MUST RSVP.” Finding the capitalization very gauche, I responded in order to decline the invitation. Though this response met the letter of the law, I have this feeling that it will not be regarded favorably by the poor person whose job is to simply get a head count."

It was first minted in the reign of Edward VI and circulated until 1980. Following decimalisation in 1971 it had a value of 2 12 new pence. The coin was made from silver from its introduction in 1551 to 1947, and thereafter in cupronickel. Prior to Decimal Day in 1971 there were 240 pence in one pound sterling. Twelve pence made a shilling, and twenty shillings made a pound. Values less than a pound were usually written in shillings and pence, e.g. 42 old pence ( 17 12 p) would be three shillings and sixpence (3/6), often pronounced \"\"three and six\"\". Values of less than a shilling were simply written in terms of pence, e.g. eight pence would be 8d ('d' for denarius ). Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Design3 Cultural significance4 See also5 Notes6 References7 External links History [ edit]The first sixpences were minted in 1551, during the reign of Edward VI. They came about as a result of the debasement of silver coinage in the 1540s, in particular the silver testoon, which fell in value from 12d to 6d. ["

"text": "What does data tell us about debt of high income and developing countries? Submitted by Rasiel Vellos On Wed, 01/23/20131 Comment Since the global financial crisis of 2008, analysis and discussion of debt has taken center stage in economic and fiscal policy, especially in high income countries. Working closely with the IMF and other partners, the World Bank maintains two quarterly databases that provide useful information on external and public sector debt of many countries. What does the statistical data from the QEDS and PSD databases tell us about trends in debt levels of some high income and developing countries? One feature worth noting is that while some high income countries have increased both domestic and external debt levels as part of their crisis management strategies, debt stock levels of some developing countries have barely risen. The chart below illustrates that when debt levels of some countries are compared to their GDP, selected high income countries are far more heavily indebted than some large developing countries.

What you say on that point struck me exactly as it would strike me to read that the French Terrorists were tolerant and enlightened, and avoided the guilt of blood. Bear with me whilst I try to make my meaning quite clear. { 2} We are not speaking of the Papacy towards the end of the fifteenth or early sixteenth century, when, for a couple of generations, and down to 1542, there was a decided lull in the persecuting spirit. Nor are we speaking of the Spanish Inquisition. . . . I mean the Popes of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, from Innocent III down to the time of Hus. These men instituted a system of Persecution, with a special tribunal, special functionaries, special laws. They carefully elaborated, and developed, and applied it. They protected it with every sanction, spiritual and temporal."

The Urban Alternative radio broadcast, \"\"The Alternative with Dr. Tony Evans\"\" can be heard over 500 stations daily throughout the U. S. and in over 40 countries worldwide.

He is a speaker on the Promise Keepers' platform, as well as speaking regularly in crusades and Bible conferences in the United States and abroad. ( www.tonyevans.org/president/bio.cfm, hard copy on file)As is evident from the last sentence of the above quote, Evans is involved with the ecumenical \"\"Promise Keepers\"\" movement (please see our report on PK ). This alone reveals that Mr. Evans is a false teacher leading himself and thousands of others down the broad way to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14; 2 Timothy 4:3), because anyone who loved the truth (John 14:6) would not be involved in such a movement that embraces Catholic liars (Psalm 40:4; Proverbs 17:4; John 10:5; 1 John 2:4). Also, to further illustrate Mr. Evans broad path, Evans posts (as of Sept. 2002) endorsements of his ministry by false teachers such as John Mac Arthur, Chuck Colson, and James Dobson ( www.tonyevans.org/endorse.cfm, hard copy on file). Moreover, Mr. Evans,I. Does Not Fear God (Psalm 36:1)In the context of Proverbs 31:30, Evans says,The fear of the Lord is not walking around trembling in scardness (sic)."

Plavix at recommended doses forms less of the active metabolite and so has a reduced effect on platelet activity in patients who are homozygous for nonfunctional alleles of the CYP2C19 gene, (termed “CYP2C19 poor metabolizers”). Tests are available to identify patients who are CYP2C19 poor metabolizers [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY ]. Consider use of another platelet P2Y12 inhibitor in patients identified as CYP2C19 poor metabolizers.

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)."

Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. These benefits have been seen in controlled trials of antihypertensive drugs from a wide variety of pharmacologic classes including Amlodipine besylate. Control of high blood pressure should be part of comprehensive cardiovascular risk management, including, as appropriate, lipid control, diabetes management, antithrombotic therapy, smoking cessation, exercise, and limited sodium intake. Many patients will require more than one drug to achieve blood pressure goals. For specific advice on goals and management, see published guidelines, such as those of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program's Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC). Numerous antihypertensive drugs, from a variety of pharmacologic classes and with different mechanisms of action, have been shown in randomized controlled trials to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and it can be concluded that it is blood pressure reduction, and not some other pharmacologic property of the drugs, that is largely responsible for those benefits. The largest and most consistent cardiovascular outcome benefit has been a reduction in the risk of stroke, but reductions in myocardial infarction and cardiovascular mortality also have been seen regularly. Elevated systolic or diastolic pressure causes increased cardiovascular risk, and the absolute risk increase per mm Hg is greater at higher blood pressures, so that even modest reductions of severe hypertension can provide substantial benefit. Relative risk reduction from blood pressure reduction is similar across populations with varying absolute risk, so the absolute benefit is greater in patients who are at higher risk independent of their hypertension (for example, patients with diabetes or hyperlipidemia), and such patients would be expected to benefit from more aggressive treatment to a lower blood pressure goal."

That's not enough. It's about a particular philosophical outlook bordering on pacifism. A Warrior Poet is a character who can and will fight, but yearns for a more peaceful world, and believes that a more peaceful world would be a better world, typically as a result of an epiphany or spiritual enlightenment of some sort, and often in a way that puts them at odds with others. In short, a warrior who has grown out of bloodlust. Many of the examples, and indeed some of the quotes and comments, seem to fit more into Cultured Badass instead (a trope about a badass with an appreciation for finer things, but not necessarily a philosophical outlook). The caption of the image - \"\"He's writing a beautiful poem. Laugh and he'll gouge your eye out with the brush\"\" - does not sound very much like \"\"a badass who enjoys peaceful, philosophical times\"\". Any number of examples - perhaps even the majority - describe characters who are badass and just happen to like art of some sort. Suggestions: 1) Move the obvious Cultured Badass entries about badass art enthusiasts to Cultured Badass ."

"text": "\"Why Your Dentist Suggests Debridementby Jae Curtis Your body naturally produces plaque, the soft, sticky substance that coats your teeth. When plaque goes uncleaned or builds up along your teeth, it becomes tartar, which is hard and more difficult to remove. Usually, both of these substances are addressed during your yearly checkups, leaving your teeth feeling completely clean. Unfortunately, if you've missed several checkups, those deposits can become so severe and stubborn that your dentist must use a technique called debridement before starting your usual checkup. If your dentist has suggested the procedure, don't worry. It's necessary for your oral health and can help put you back on the road to healthy dental habits.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take a look at each method individually: Mechanical Debridement Mechanical debridement is one of the oldest forms of wound debridement. This method uses a procession of moist to wet dressings, which are then manually removed. This causes non-selective debridement of necrotic tissue and slough (and sometimes healthy tissue as well). Hydrotherapy and irrigation methods are also considered forms of mechanical debridement. Mechanical debridement is best suited to wounds with large amounts of necrotic debris. A recent advancement in mechanical wound debridement devices is the use of a monofilament fiber pad. This pad is designed to bind with slough, hyperkeratotic debris and dried exudate for removal from the wound bed. Advantages Cost-effective due to the fact that gauze is the material most frequently used for this procedure Dressing changes are simple so the patient can be taught to change their own dressing Disadvantages May remove healthy (healing) tissue as well as devitalized tissue Time-consuming as the dressings must be changed often (or the patient must spend a lot of time in the whirlpool bath to achieve the desired goal)Can be quite painful for the patient Infection is a risk when whirlpools are used due to waterborne contamination Autolytic Debridement Autolytic debridement uses the body’s own processes (enzymes and moisture) to break down tough eschar and slough."

It is required when deposits of plaque and calculus are too heavy to allow for an adequate exam by a dentist. What are plaque and calculus? Plaque is a soft, sticky substance that forms on teeth, regardless of what types of foods are eaten, which is composed of bacteria and bacterial by-products. Calculus is also known as tartar and is a hard, mineralized deposit, somewhat like cement, that is formed from the plaque in the mouth and the minerals in a person’s saliva. No dentist has ever told me that I needed a debridement before. Can’t I just have my teeth cleaned? Throughout a person’s life many different conditions may arise. It may be that a person will not have had high cholesterol or high blood pressure before, but at their most recent medical check-up these conditions are discovered."

What Does Debridement Do? Debridement is used to clean dead and contaminated material from a wound to aid in healing. The procedure is most often done to: Remove tissue contaminated by bacteria, foreign tissue, dead cells or crusting Create a neat wound edge to decrease scarring Aid in the healing of very severe burns or pressure sores Get a sample of tissue for testing and diagnosis The Debridement Procedure Your doctor will: Perform a physical exam Take a measurement of the wound Provide pain medicine before changing debridement dressings (for nonsurgical procedures)The four types of debridement are often used in combination. Surgical Debridement Surgical debridement is done using scalpels, forceps, scissors and other instruments. This is the preferred method for large wounds that have deep tissue damage, or if your wound is especially painful. Your doctor cleans and disinfects your skin surrounding the wound. After determining the depth of the wound, your doctor cuts away dead tissue and washes out the wound to remove any free tissue. In some cases, you may need transplanted skin grafted into place."

Their diversity means that each wound must be approached with consideration for its own unique characteristics and how best to heal the patient. This may involve more than treatment of the wound itself it may require treatment of an underlying condition or comorbidity. Gerald Lazarus, MD, professor of dermatology and director of the Johns Hopkins Wound Center, says that its important to address the whole patient. Accurate diagnosis is first and foremost, he points out. You may say its a venous ulcer, because the veins are shot and theres edema, but they may also have arterial disease. It can be easy to misdiagnose the cause of an ulcer; one 20-year old female from Bermuda presented with venous ulcers, but had systemic lupus erythematosus. One must consider, Is there a serious underlying disease? Lazarus says. A key issue in wounds is that all wounds contain bacteria."

Convention A.11, states: “Many of the terms used to construct PCS codes are defined within the system. It is the coder’s responsibility to determine what the documeta- tion in the medical record equates to in the PCS definitions. The physician is not expected to use the terms used in PCS code descriptions, nor is the coder required to query the physician when the correlation between the documentation and the defined PCS terms is clear. ”If I was a practicing physician I would say yep, all for it, I don’t have to change or add anything to my current documentation. However, I now live on the other side where I start to mumble “here was a perfect opportunity for CMS to put the onus on the provider for documentation but inexplicably shied away. ”The example cited by CMS: “When the physician documents “partial resection” the coder can independently correlate “partial resection” to the root operation Excision without querying the physician for clarification. ”And just when you thought it was over; NOPE!The example given by CMS above is a very small percentage of what coding staff will be faced with as we forge into the ICD-10-PCS realm and therefore does not address the myriad of problems that will be surfacing, forcing the coders to query for documentation clarification."

Ankle Impingement Problems PRINTABLE BOOKLETA Patient's Guide to Ankle Impingement Problems Introduction Ankle impingement occurs when soft tissues around the ankle are pinched or nipped. Impingement mainly happens when the ankle is fully bent up or down, leading to pain either in the front or back of the ankle joint. Problems near the front of the joint are usually associated with past ankle sprains. Pinching in the back of the ankle occurs most often in ballet dancers and is usually due to irritation around a bony prominence on the back of the ankle. This guide will help you understandhow ankle impingement problems occurhow doctors diagnose the conditionwhat can be done to treat it Anatomy What parts of the ankle are involved? The ankle joint is formed where the bones of the lower leg, the tibia and the fibula, connect above the anklebone, called the talus. The tibia is the main bone of the lower leg. The fibula is the small, thin bone along the outer edge of the tibia. The ankle joint is a hinge that allows the foot to move up ( dorsiflexion) and down ( plantarflexion )."

"text": "Jean Gallienne RDH BS Hygiene Consultant Mc Kenzie Management Printer Friendly Version Is It Root Planing or Full Mouth Debridement? There are offices that are probing new patients and continuing to follow the old way of thinking that only 5 mm or above need to be root planed. These offices use the code for full mouth debridement, have the patient return for a prophylaxis in 2 weeks, and then come back in 3 months for their continuing care. The problem with this is that the patients being billed out as full mouth debridement probably need to be treatment planned for root planing, whether it is one to four quadrants, 1-3 teeth or 4 or more teeth. They are not entering the correct insurance code with the treatment needed. The code for a full mouth debridement is very specific in its use and I may see only two patients in an entire year that require this code. Misusing the full mouth debridement code is not doing a favor to your patients, hygienist, or practice production. Using this code is usually under-treating a periodontally involved patient, and makes the hygienist work twice as hard at half the cost that it should be done. It usually costs the patient more out of pocket money also, as many insurance companies will not even cover the full mouth debridement code, and even if they do it may only be covered once in the patient’s lifetime or may only cover a portion of the amount. Then there are the insurance companies that will cover it as a prophylaxis and when the patient returns for their 2nd appointment in order to complete the treatment, the insurance will consider this the second prophylaxis in a year and now the patient is out of benefits when it comes to future hygiene appointments."

"text": "Toenail debridement refers to the act of physically removing any unwanted tissue or substance from a toenail or associated structures. What this exact substance is can vary greatly; however, the unifying trait is that anything removed is typically unwanted or harmful. Toenail debridement can sometimes be aesthetic but can also be life saving. There are many diseases of the body that can fester or grow in the beds of toenails, making hygiene in this region of the body particularly important. Toenails are medically classified in the same category as skin and hair, somewhat of a protective mechanism the body utilizes as its first line of defense against harmful microorganisms. Toenails and fingernails tend to be hardened and have come to encompass somewhat of an aesthetic quality in many cultures. Some people paint their nails; others let them grow to outrageous lengths. Beyond their physical and aesthetic function, toenails are significant medically because they can trap bacteria or debris in the small space between themselves and the flesh of a toe. Additionally, when toenails fall off or become partially removed, they may be incredibly painful. Sometimes, toenails grow in directions that are atypical."

Now what do you do? Knee injuries are a very common problem especially in individuals who are active with running and pivoting type sports. Knee cartilage or meniscal injuries are also common in workers and as a consequence to repetitive loading and twisting. Believe it or not a meniscus tear can also happen in folks from simply squatting or coming up from a bent position. Therefore knee cartilage or meniscus injuries can occur in the most active to the less active sedentary type. Knee meniscus and articular cartilage / chondral tears are among the most common injuries I see in my Orange County Orthopedic surgery practice. This is probably because the knee joint is subject to heavy joint loading forces because of constant pounding associated with every day activities."

Form follows function in the hand; therefore, any injury to the underlying structures of the hand carries the potential for serious handicap. To reduce this risk, even the smallest hand injuries require proper medical evaluation. The goal with injuries to the hand is a rapid and accurate initial evaluation and treatment. In other words, once an injury occurs, the doctor strives to begin medical treatment quickly so the short- and long-term effects on the hand can be minimized. The hand consists of 27 bones (including the 8 bones of the wrist). When the other associated structures (nerves, arteries, veins, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint cartilage, and fingernails) are considered, the potential for a variety of injuries exists when trauma involves the hand. The most common cause of the injuries was blunt trauma, followed by injury from a sharp object. Hand Injury Causes Hand injuries can be divided into six general categories:lacerations (cuts),fractures and dislocations,soft tissue injuries and amputations,infections,burns, andhigh pressure injuries (grease and paint guns). Other common hand injuries includenail injuries,finger injuries,finger infection,wrist injuries, andbroken hand."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation Workup Treatment Media Gallery Tables References Approach Considerations Fracture management can be divided into nonoperative and operative techniques. The nonoperative approach consists of a closed reduction if required, followed by a period of immobilization with casting or splinting. Closed reduction is needed if the fracture is significantly displaced or angulated. [ 38] Pediatric fractures are generally much more tolerant of nonoperative management, owing to their significant remodeling potential. [ 39]If closed reduction is inadequate, surgical intervention may be required. Indications for surgical intervention include the following: Failed nonoperative (closed) management Unstable fractures that cannot be adequately maintained in a reduced position Displaced intra-articular fractures (>2 mm)Patients with fractures that are known to heal poorly following nonoperative management (eg, femoral neck fractures ) [ 40]Large avulsion fractures that disrupt the muscle-tendon or ligamentous function of an affected joint (eg, patella fracture )Impending pathologic fractures Multiple traumatic injuries with fractures involving the pelvis, femur, or vertebrae Unstable open fractures, any type II or type III open fracture Fractures in individuals who would poorly tolerate prolonged immobilization required for nonoperative management (eg, elderly patients with proximal femur fractures [ 41] )Fractures in growth areas in skeletally immature individuals that have increased risk for growth arrest (eg, Salter-Harris types III-V )Nonunions or malunions that have failed to respond to nonoperative treatment Contraindications to surgical reconstruction are as follows: Active infection (local or systemic) or osteomyelitis Soft tissues that compromise the overlying fracture or the surgical approach because of poor soft-tissue quality due to soft-tissue injury or burns, excessive swelling, previous surgical scars, or active infection Medical conditions that contraindicate surgery or anesthesia (eg, recent myocardial infarction)Cases in which amputation, rather than attempted fracture fixation, would better serve the limb and the patient Elements of Initial Fracture Management The most important factors in fracture healing are blood supply and soft-tissue health, and initial management of an injured limb should have the goal of maintaining or improving these. [ 23]The initial management of fractures consists of realignment of the broken limb segment (if grossly deformed) and then immobilizing the fractured extremity in a splint. The distal neurologic and vascular status must be clinically assessed and documented before and after realignment and splinting. If a patient sustains an open fracture, achieving hemostasis as rapidly as possible at the injury site is essential; this can be achieved by placing a sterile pressure dressing over the injury site (see Open Fractures ). Splinting is critical in providing symptomatic relief for the patient, as well as in preventing potential neurologic and vascular injury and further injury to the local soft tissues."

The best toenail fungus treatment over the counter may be an antifungal lacquer should an individual have a mild to moderate nail fungus infection. This is an antifungal nail polish also known as ciclopirox or pentac. Once a day, the polish is painted on the infected nail and surrounding skin. The piled-on layers are then wiped clean with alcohol after a week and a fresh application is begun. Some nail fungal infections have been shown to clear up with the daily use of pentac for about a year. What is Toenail Fungus? Toenail fungus is one of those infections that can sneak up and get out of control. One day a discoloured spot on the toenail may be spotted. The next time the discoloration may turn to yellow as fungi or yeast has wormed its way under the nails and taken up residence."

A felon is an infection of the pulp space of the distal portion of a toe near the nail bed, the pulp region is a closed compartment. Obvious or inconspicuous trauma can penetrate the closed pulp space, deposit bacteria, and lead to pus formation. Collection of pus in this area creates pressure, impairing tissue perfusion and causing considerable pain. Generally, the infecting organism is S. aureus however, when lymphangitic streaks are present, hemolytic streptococci should be suspected. In immunocompromised patients, gram-negative organisms may be the offering agents. Failure to decompress a felon may result in contagious spread to the distal phalanx, distal interphalangeal joint, or flexor tendon sheath. A neglected felon may eventually lead to extrusion or avascular necrosis of the distal phalanx. Symptoms of felon The patient is usually seen with pain and tense swelling a day or two after a penetrating injury to the fingertip. Felons are exquisitely tender to palpation because of the increased pressure within the septal compartments."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation Workup Treatment Media Gallery References Approach Considerations Most closed tibial fractures can be treated nonoperatively with good results, but infection risk and fracture stability must be considered. Littenberg et al reviewed 2372 case reports of closed tibial fractures and compared clinical outcomes of cast treatment, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and intramedullary rod therapy. [ 16] They showed cast treatment to be associated with fewer superficial infections than ORIF was; however, ORIF demonstrated a higher union rate at 20 weeks. In some instances, the fracture cannot be treated properly with nonoperative methods. Operative fixation is required when fractures are unstable. Instability is defined as greater than 1.5 cm of shortening, more than 5° of varus or valgus angulation, 10° of anterior or posterior angulation, and/or less than 50% translation while the leg is in a cast. Factors that contribute to instability are the degree of comminution, the presence of ipsilateral fibular fractures, and the location of the fracture along the tibia. The original presenting radiograph is useful because it is often the case with cast or brace treatment that the original amount of shortening is what the fracture ultimately heals with; therefore, shortening greater than 1 cm is a relative indication for operative stabilization. Open fractures are surgical emergencies, and an orthopedic surgeon should be consulted immediately. In rare instances, a type I fracture can be treated nonoperatively, but in most cases, the patient should be scheduled for debridement and irrigation within 6 hours of the injury."

Excisional debridement of open fracture of middle phalans, left ring finger. 4. closed treatment without manipulation of open fracture of middle phalanx left ring. 5. Removal of 16-penny nail, left ring finer, right middle phalanx The patient was taken to the operating room after having had 2 g of Ancef IV in the ER, and he was administered general endotracheal anesthesa with excellent effect. The left upper extremity was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. A small bolt cutter was used to sever the nail between the middle and ring fingers, and then it was easily removed from the middle finger because it was very soft tissue only and it just grazed the volar edge of the distal phalanx. Because of the potential for the connecting material such as paper or plastic to be carried into this wound, the wound was opened a total of 3/4 inches on each side of the puncture, and then carefully with blunt and sharp dissection was dissected, and excisional debridement was down to the bone from the radial and ulnar side, and no foreign material was noted leaving thus with the satisfactory assumption that as it entered the skin the paper coating was stripped off externally."

"text": "Current Concepts in IM Nailing of Femoral Shaft fractures CURRENT CONCEPTS IN INTRAMEDULLARY (IM) NAILING OF FEMORAL SHAFT FRACTURESSiddhartha Sharma, Hitesh Gopalan UINTRODUCTIONIntramedullary (IM) nailing is one of the preferred methods for treatment of femoral diaphyseal fractures. Successful intramedullary nailing results in a short hospital stay, a rapid return of motion in all joints, prompt return to walking, and a relatively short total disability time. HISTORY & EVOLUTION1) IM nailing was first described by Gerhard Kuntscher, a German orthopaedist in the 1940s and the device came to be known by his name viz. ‘ K Nail’.2) Various ‘generations’ of nails have been described as follows:a) First Generation Nailsi) Have a characteristic longitudinal slot along the entire length of the nail.ii) Examples: K Nail, Grosse Kempf Nail (has a proximal portion which is tubular and allows better purchase and insertion of proximal locking screws).b) Second Generation Nailsi) These are tubular nails without the slot and have provision for proximal and distal locking bolts.ii) Examples: Russel Taylor Nail (has a clover leaf cross section) and Delta Nail (triangular cross section, thicker wall and thinner diameter).c) Third Generation Nailsi) Are made from titanium alloys and may be solid or tubular.ii) Examples: Trigen Nail, Universal Femoral Nail (Synthes)INDICATIONS OF IM NAILING:1) Transverse and short oblique fractures of the femoral shaft.2) Comminuted Fractures: The nail should always be locked3) Pathological fractures CONTRAINDICATIONS OF IM NAILING1. Absolute but correctable contraindications: Hypovolemia, Hypothermia and coagulopathy.2. Relative Contraindications: presence of previously inserted devices and pre existing deformity.3. A narrow medullary canal may rule out IM nailing as an operative option. PRE OPERATIVE PLANNING1. Good quality Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the injured extremity should be obtained to know about the fracture pattern, presence of comminution, medullary canal dimensions and the amount of femoral bow.2. Length of IM nail: corresponds approximately to the distance between the tip of greater trochanter and the lateral epicondyle of femur."

"text": "\"Surgery Recovery Types of Debridement of a Wound By Jennifer Whitlock, RN, MSN, FN | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated March 07, 2018Share Pin Email Printmegaflopp / Getty Images Debridement is the process of removing unhealthy tissue from the body. The tissue may be necrotic (dead), infected, damaged, contaminated or there may be a foreign body in the tissue. Why Debridement Is Done For example, a patient has a serious wound that is infected and is not getting better with antibiotics and wound care. The wound is getting larger, the patient is getting sicker, and without better control of the infection, the patient could be in a life-threatening situation. For this patient, surgically cleaning the wound and removing some of the dead and infected tissue may mean that the body can fight the infection and heal the wound more easily. With the dead tissue removed, the healthy tissue that remains is more likely to remain healthy and not become infected. Types of Debridement A wide variety of debridement techniques are used in medicine, and for a severe wound or a wound that has difficulty healing, multiple types of these treatments may be used. For example, a serious wound with necrotic (dying) tissue may first be treated with surgical debridement but may have enzymatic and mechanical debridement in the following weeks. Surgical Debridement: This is the process of removing damaged or dying tissue surgically. In this case, a surgeon visually inspects the tissue, determines what tissue is viable, and removes the tissue that is not salvageable."

It is shaped as a double dome side by side on the hand side of the joint and two side by side matching shallow curves on the nail side. This allows mobility in bending and straightening but stability in sideways and twisting movements. The IP joints is therefore very stable but this makes it more prone to stiffness and other problems. The common problems are related to wear and tear arthritis. ( osteoarthritis) (Problems in rheumatoid arthritis are described in the section on inflammatory arthropathy/rheumatoid arthritis) and tendon/ligament imbalance. The later is often associated with some arthritis. Arthritis itself is either primary i.e. occurring for no obvious reason or secondary i.e. occurring due to an underlying cause. The most common cause of secondary arthritis is previous injury particularly a fracture (break) into the joint (intra-articular)."

Roth, MD, FACS and Jan Nagle, MS, RPh PUBLISHED April 1, 2017 • Print-Friendly The American College of Surgeons (ACS) Coding Hotline receives numerous queries about Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding for hernia repair and complex abdominal wall reconstruction. * Similarly, participants at ACS Surgical Coding Workshops have expressed confusion regarding coding for these procedures. This column provides an update to a coding column published in the September 2011 issue of the Bulletin 1 in an effort to educate health care professionals and coding staff on proper coding for hernia repair and complex abdominal wall reconstruction. Hernia repair Hernia repair includes isolation and dissection of the hernia sac, reduction of intraperitoneal contents, fascial repair, and soft tissue closure. In 1993, the ACS submitted a code change proposal to the American Medical Association CPT Editorial Panel to revise hernia coding in 1994 based on several variables, including the following: Type of hernia (inguinal, lumbar, femoral, incisional, ventral, epigastric, umbilical, spigelian)Patient age (infant, child, adult)Patient presentation (initial versus recurrent)Clinical presentation (reducible versus incarcerated or strangulated)Method of repair (open versus laparoscopic)As identified in Table 1 only the codes for open repair of inguinal hernias (49491–49525) or umbilical hernias (49580–49587) have distinct codes based on the age of the patient. Until 1994, separate repair codes were used to report incarcerated hernias and strangulated hernias. These two patient presentations were combined in the 1994 CPT revision. Until 1994, separate codes were used to report different approaches to hernia repair, such as an inguinal approach versus an anterior extraperitoneal approach (Henry) for a femoral hernia repair. Beginning in 1994, all open hernia repair codes were categorized as reducible or incarcerated/strangulated, except for the rare lumbar hernia repair (49540) or rare spigelian hernia repair (49590).

Believe it or not, between 20 and 30 million Americans suffer from some variety of ongoing toenail fungus each year. With recent technological developments, podiatrists across the world have been able to take the fight to toenail fungus with laser therapy. How does Laser Therapy work? The way it works is very simple; near infra-red laser light is passed over and through your nail to kill the fungus, while there is no damage at all to any of your nails, or your skin. The light literally passes right through your skin without any damage to healthy tissue at all. In fact, on top of no damage, there is also no pain throughout the process, just a feeling of warmth on the nail. Despite being a newer solution to toenail fungus, this technology has been used thousands of times since its creation, and has been proven to work without any side effects. By choosing to use laser therapy to treat your toenail fungus, you circumvent the need for any injections, prescription pills, and laboratory tests."

It is part of U. S. bankruptcy law and is the term used to describe a corporation that continues to do business while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Creditors to a debtor in possession have a legal claim to their assets and property under a lien or other security interest. The DIP continues to run the business and has the power and obligation of a trustee to operate in the best interest of any creditors. A DIP can operate in the ordinary course of business, but is required to seek court approval for any actions that fall outside of the scope of regular business activities. The DIP must also keep precise financial records, insure any property and file appropriate tax returns. Next Up Collection-Proof Reaffirmation Chapter 11Debtor Nation BREAKING DOWN 'Debtor in Possession (DIP)'After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, new bank accounts are opened that name the debtor in possession on the account.

Garnishment A legal procedure by which a creditor can collect what a debtor owes by reaching the debtor's propertywhen it is in the hands of someone other than the debtor. Garnishment is a drastic measure for collecting a debt. A court order of garnishment allows a creditor to take the property of a debtor when the debtor does not possess the property. A garnishment action is taken against the debtor as defendant and the property holder as garnishee. Garnishment is regulated by statutes, and is usually reserved for the creditor who has obtained a judgment, or courtorder, against the debtor. A debtor's property may be garnished before it ever reaches the debtor. For example, if a debtor's workearnings are garnished, a portion of the wages owed by the employer go directly to the Judgment Creditor and is never seen by the debtor. Some property is exempt from garnishment."

This has been adopted as a mode of financing by a number of Islamic banks. As a financing technique, it involves a request by the client to the bank to purchase a certain item for him. The bank does that for a definite profit over the cost which is settled in advance. Some people have questioned the legality of this financing technique because of its similarity to riba or interest.2. Murabaha: A contract of sale between the bank and its client for the sale of goods at a price plus an agreed profit margin for the bank.

"text": "The New Governing Law for Perfection Under Revised UCC Article 9By Ben Carpenter, J. D., Product Development Attorney, Bankers Systems, Inc., Contributing Author, CCH Focus .n July 1, 2001, revisions to the law of secured transactions will go into effect in the states that adopt Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (“Revised Article 9”). This article will focus on new provisions in Article 9 that determine the governing law for how to perfect and the effect of perfection under Revised Article 9. Except where noted, all section references are to the revised version of Article 9. C HOICE OF L AWThe first step in perfecting a security interest is determining what law governs the transaction, or parts of the transaction. State laws vary, and state law may be preempted by federal law with respect to all or part of the transaction, so secured lenders must look at the characteristics of each transaction to determine the governing law. Security interests in most personal property collateral are governed by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), but could alternatively or additionally be governed by common law, other state law (e.g., certificate of title laws), and federal law. Security agreements and assignments typically contain a contract provision for a governing law. Under current UCC law, Section 1-105 provides that parties to a transaction may stipulate the state law that will govern their rights and duties so long as the chosen state bears a reasonable relation to the transaction. However, Section 1-105 provides that contrary provisions in the UCC will render the parties’ selection of governing law ineffective. Article 9 provides such an exception to the general rule in Section 1-105 by including rules for determining how to perfect a security interest in multiple-state transactions."

While the writ is obtainable on the creditor's ex parte application without notice to the debtor or an opportunity for hearing, the writ will issue only upon a verified affidavit and upon a judge's authority (with respect to the parish involved in this case) after the creditor has filed a sufficient bond. The debtor may immediately seek dissolution of the writ, which must be ordered unless the creditor proves the grounds for issuance (existence of the debt, lien, and delinquency), failing which the court may order return of the property and assess damages, including attorney's fees, in the debtor's favor. Respondent seller filed suit against petitioner in the New Orleans City Court for the overdue balance of the price of certain personal property that petitioner had purchased under an installment sales contract and on which respondent had a vendor's lien. On respondent's application, the trial judge in accordance with the Louisiana procedure ordered sequestration of the property without prior notice or opportunity for a hearing, and denied petitioner's motion to dissolve the writ on the asserted ground, inter alia, that the seizure violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

"text": "\"Exempt Property in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy A Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves the reorganization of a debtor's assets and the creation of a repayment plan to pay back creditors for debts. This is different from a chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation), which requires that property which does not fall under one of various types of bankruptcy exemptions be turned over to the bankruptcy estate. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, this means that non-exempt property can end up being sold in order to repay creditors to the greatest extent possible. Repayment Plans & Property in Chapter 13As suggested above, however, the process in Chapter 13 and its goals are not entirely the same as those of a liquidation bankruptcy. Chapter 13 involves debtors who have sufficient income and means, and who would like to establish a repayment plan to address their debts over time. This significant difference means that there isn't as much of a reason to collect, redistribute, or sell a debtor's property to pay off creditors because the filer intends to repay their debt over the duration of their repayment plan (typically 3 to 5 years). On the bright side, this means that the law usually lets a Chapter 13 filer retain possession of their property, with a few important exceptions. However, the debtor's property plays an important part of figuring out how much they will have to repay. When figuring out a debtor's repayment plan, the value of their non-exempt property is used to establish a sort of \"\"base-line\"\" for purposes of repaying creditors. In other words, if a debtor owns non-exempt property worth a particular total amount, X, that total X is the minimum that the debtor must offer in their plan of repayment."

If more than one person owns the same property, they are commonly referred to as co-owners. Legal terminology for co-owners of real estate is either co-tenants or joint tenants, with the latter phrase signifying a right of survivorship. Most common law jurisdictions recognize tenancies in common and joint tenancies, and some also recognize tenancies by the entirety, which is a joint tenancy between married persons. Many jurisdictions refer to a joint tenancy as a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, but they are the same, as every joint tenancy includes a right of survivorship. In contrast, a tenancy in common does not include a right of survivorship."

Related to garnishment: garnishment order Garnishment A legal procedure by which a creditor can collect what a debtor owes by reaching the debtor'sproperty when it is in the hands of someone other than the debtor. Garnishment is a drastic measure for collecting a debt. A court order of garnishment allows a creditor to take the property of a debtor when the debtor does not possess the property. A garnishment action is taken against the debtor as defendant and the property holder as garnishee. Garnishment is regulated by statutes, and is usually reserved for the creditor who has obtained a judgment, or court order, against the debtor. A debtor's property may be garnished before it ever reaches the debtor. For example, if a debtor'swork earnings are garnished, a portion of the wages owed by the employer go directly to the Judgment Creditor and is never seen by the debtor. Some property is exempt from garnishment."

"text": "\"What is 'Debtor-in-Possession Financing (DIP Financing)'Debtor-in-possession financing (DIP financing) is a special kind of financing meant for companies that are financially distressed and in bankruptcy. Only companies that have filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the United States and the CCAA in Canada can utilize it, which usually happens at the start of a filing. It is used to facilitate the reorganization of a debtor-in-possession (the status of a company that has filed for bankruptcy) by allowing it to raise capital to fund its operations as its bankruptcy case runs its course. DIP financing is unique from other financing methods in that it usually has priority over existing debt, equity and other claims. Next Up Bankruptcy Financing Priming Loan Acquisition Financing Chapter 11Breaking Down 'Debtor-in-Possession Financing (DIP Financing)'Since Chapter 11 favors corporate reorganization over liquidation, filing for protection can offer a vital lifeline to distressed companies in need of financing. In a debtor-in-possession financing, the court must approve the financing plan consistent to the protection granted to the business. Oversight of the loan by the lender is also subject to the court's approval and protection. If the financing is approved, the business will have the liquidity it needs to keep operating. When a company is able to secure debtor-in-possession financing, it lets vendors, suppliers and customers know that the debtor will be able to remain in business, provide services and make payments for goods and services during its reorganization. If the lender has found that the company is worthy of credit after examining its finances, it stands to reason that the marketplace will come to the same conclusion."

"text": "\"Executory Contracts: Rejection Key Background Facts: From Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases: An executory contract is one in which neither party to the contract has fulfilled its obligations. Either the trustee or the debtor in possession (DIP) can either assume or reject an executory contract. An executory contract not assumed is deemed rejected. An executory contract will be assumed if it has a net benefit for the bankruptcy estate; otherwise, it will be rejected. A business judgment standard is used in evaluating whether to assume or reject the contract. Little consideration is given to the effects of rejection to the non-debtor party. Key Facts: The rejection of an executory contract is considered a breach of the contract rather than a termination or cancellation. As a result, the non-debtor party can either terminate the contract or continue using any property interest granted by the rejected contract as long as the non-debtor party continues paying for the property interest, such as a leasehold or the right to use intellectual property. Whatever the non-debtor party chooses to do, the debtor or the bankruptcy estate has no more liability for the contract. Likewise, the non-debtor party has no additional obligation under the contract to either the debtor or the bankruptcy estate."

Upon issuance of the earnings garnishment, the garnishment will remain in effect for a period of 13 weeks. At the end of this time period, a new garnishment action must be commenced, unless the previous garnishment was voluntarily extended. Typically, 20% of a debtor's net earnings after withholding taxes and Social Security can be taken by a creditor. A debtor does have the right to assert various exemptions to the garnishment, including income below the Federal Poverty Guidelines, eligibility to receive foods stamps or medical assistance, or court-ordered assignments of child support that exceed 25% of the debtor's wages. Wisconsin Procedural Requirements Upon payment to the clerk of court of the proper fee, the clerk shall issue a garnishee summons together with sufficient copies to the plaintiff or his or her attorney. The summons form may be in blank, but must carry the court seal. A garnishment action shall be commenced by the filing of a garnishee summons and annexed complaint, except no action shall be deemed commenced as to any defendant upon whom service of authenticated copies of the summons and the complaint has not been made within 60 days after filing.

In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. Bankruptcy is not the only legal status that an insolvent person may have, and the term bankruptcy is therefore not a synonym for insolvency. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, bankruptcy is limited to individuals; other forms of insolvency proceedings (such as liquidation and administration) are applied to companies. In the United States, bankruptcy is applied more broadly to formal insolvency proceedings. In France, the cognate French word banqueroute is used solely for cases of fraudulent bankruptcy, whereas the term faillite (cognate of \"\"failure\"\") is used for bankruptcy in accordance with the law.

"text": "\"Common Issues With Commercial Real Estate Commercial Real Estate Financing1. What is commercial financing in general? Financing a property is the standard method by which individuals and businesses can purchase residential and commercial real estate without the need to pay the full price in cash up front from their own accounts at the time of the purchase. Financing for non-residential real estate is generally obtained from a bank, insurance company or other institutional lender to provide funds for the acquisition, development, and operation of a commercial real estate venture. Commercial financing loans are secured primarily by real estate and related assets owned by the debtor. Assets used to collateralize commercial finance loans, aside from the real estate, may include fixtures, equipment, bank and/or trade accounts, receivables, inventory, general intangibles, and supplies. Documents evidencing and securing the loan typically include: loan agreements, promissory notes, mortgages or deeds of trust, assignments of rents and leases, financing statements, environmental indemnity agreements, guaranties, subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements, estoppel certificates, and other ancillary documents.2. What types of notes are used in commercial financing? A cognovit note is a promissory note in which a debtor authorizes the creditor, in the event of a default or breach, to confess the debtor’s default in court and allows the court to immediately issue a judgment against the debtor. If the debtor defaults or breaches any of its loan obligations, the cognovit note also typically provides that the debtor agrees to jurisdiction in certain courts, waives any notice requirements, and authorizes the entry of an adverse judgment."

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

( d) (1) In a case under chapter 7 of this title, if the trustee does not assume or reject an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or of personal property of the debtor within 60 days after the order for relief, or within such additional time as the court, for cause, within such 60-day period, fixes, then such contract or lease is deemed rejected. ( 2) In a case under chapter 9, 11, 12, or 13 of this title, the trustee may assume or reject an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or of personal property of the debtor at any time before the confirmation of a plan but the court, on the request of any party to such contract or lease, may order the trustee to determine within a specified period of time whether to assume or reject such contract or lease.

Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO 2 to a compound. Enzymes that catalyze decarboxylations are called decarboxylases or, the more formal term, carboxy-lyases ( EC number 4.1.1). Contents [ hide ]1 In organic chemistry1.1 Hydrodecarboxylation2 In biochemistry3 Case studies4 References In organic chemistry [ edit]The term \"\"decarboxylation\"\" literally means removal of a carboxyl group (-COOH) and its replacement with a hydrogen atom. The term relates the state of the reactant and product. Decarboxylation is one of the oldest known organic reactions, since it often entails simple pyrolysis, and volatile products distilled from the reactor. Heating is required because the reaction is less favorable at low temperatures. Yields are highly sensitive to conditions. In retrosynthesis, decarboxylation reactions can be considered the opposite of homologation reactions, in that the chain length becomes one carbon shorter."

"text": "5 Reasons to Be Careful When Consuming Marijuana Edibles Eating edibles isn't the same as smoking cannabis, as some people have found out the hard way. By Phillip Smith / Alter Net June 22, 2015, 2:52 PM GMTPrint Comments Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/Yellowj Smoking pot is starting to seem old-school. Vaporizing is on the rise, but the real competition for smoked buds is marijuana edibles. Edibles make up an ever-increasing proportion of marijuana sales in legal states and medical marijuana states, and at this point, the market appears insatiable. And these aren't your father's edibles. Back in the day, edibles basically meant creating marijuana butter and using it in your recipes, and your pot cookies tasted like weed. Now edibles come in all sorts of alluring (and tasty) forms, from fudge, candy bars and lollipops to cannabis coffees and teas. The only limit appears to be the entrepreneurial imagination. But—as New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd infamously found out—edibles can be tricky. Unlike smoked marijuana, whose effects are almost instantaneous, allowing users to stop when they feel high enough, edibles take between a half hour and an hour to take effect."

"text": "\"Acetyl Coenzyme A (Molecular Biology)Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl Co A ) consists of a two-carbon activated acetyl unit attached to coenzyme A in thioester linkage. Acetyl Co A is central to energy generation from the degradative pathways of oxidative fuel metabolism and to a number of biosynthetic pathways that utilize the activated two-carbon acetyl unit. In aerobic cells, it is the product of all the major catabolic pathways of fuel metabolism, including b- oxidation of fatty acids, ketone body degradation, glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation, ethanol oxidation, and the oxidative degradation of many amino acids. The two-carbon acetyl unit of acetyl Co A formed from these pathways can be completely oxidized to CO2 in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), thus providing aerobic cells with energy from the complete oxidation of fuels. The acetyl unit of acetyl Co A is also the basic building block of fatty acids, cholesterol, and other compounds, and it can be transferred to other molecules in acetylation reactions (eg, synthesis of N-acetylated sugars).1. Structure The ability of acetyl Co A to participate in these diverse metabolic pathways is derived from the thioester bond formed between the acyl carbon of the acetyl unit and the sulfhydryl group of coenzyme A (Co ASH) (Fig. 1). Because sulfur does not share its electrons, the carbonyl carbon of the thioester bond carries a more positive partial charge than that of an oxygen ester, and electrons are pulled away from the C-H bonds of the terminal methyl group. This distribution of charge facilitates nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon and enhances the ability of the terminal methyl carbon to act as an electrophilic agent in condensation reactions. The acetyl Co A thioester bond is a O’ high energy bond, with a DG for hydrolysis of -32.2 k J/mol."

"text": "\"What is Decarboxylation? By Cannabis Chris on Thursday, March 15, 2012Cannabis decarboxylation Decarboxylation of the cannabis plant is necessary to bring out the most of the THC by converting THC (a), which is non-psychoactive, into THC which is our favorite cannabinoid. When the cannabis plant is freshly harvested, most of the THC found within the resins on the buds and leaves, is still in it’s non-psychoactive form called THC (A). THC (A) has little to no psychoactive effect on humans when consumed. This means, if you picked a fresh “bud” from a female cannabis plant, and ate it, you would feel very little to zero “high” or psychoactive feeling. To get cannabis that is psychoactive when consumed, the THC (A) must first be converted into THC. In order to convert THCA into the psychoactive form we all love, called THC – cannabis must first go through a process called decarboxylation. This process usually takes place naturally in the drying and curing stage, but may also be achieved when the material is brought to a temperature of at least 122 degrees. After about 15 minutes of 122-145 degree temperatures, THC (A) will be converted to active THC throughout the resin containing areas of the plant. Decarboxylation Temperatures to note: At 102 degrees, virtually all of the terpenes found in the cannabis plant will begin to evaporate off, along with most of the smells produced by those terpenes."

"text": "\"Contributors : Fergetit & Skunk Works Does curing affect potency? The very short answer is YES. It does affect potency in a very positive manner. Curing cannabis after harvesting for few days to several months will improve the potency, as well as the taste and texture of the buds. Curing takes place after cannabis has been harvested, manicured and partially dried. Most cannabis will retain a significant quantity of moisture within its stems and inner buds even when the outside feels dry. This is especially true for very dense buds, more care must be taken in drying loose airy buds because sometimes they can dry too fast. Should a sample of bud become over-dried before proper curing is complete, many different techniques may be used to slightly re-hydrate the bud and continue curing as normal. Fresh buds, orange or lemon peels, lettuce, apple or many other fresh fruits and vegetables can be added to a sealed jar of pot to allow more moisture to diffuse into it. Plain water either sprayed directly on or applied via towel to the buds is also a good way to re-moisten them."

Because coconut oil contains high amounts of EFA’s (essential fatty acids) is makes a very good binding agent for the cannabinoids and draws them out of the cannabis plant-material very nicely. Coconut oil is fairly inexpensive, is readily available in organic form, and is easy to work with at room temperature since it solidifies. All of these reasons, plus the added health benefits of using coconut oil make it the best oil for making cannabis infused capsules. Health Benefits of coconut oil Coconut oil has many health benefits on it’s own. It contains high amounts of essential fatty acids as well as beneficial saturated fats. Coconut oil contains a very high amount of lauric acid – which is highly beneficial for the human immune system. Coconut oil contains more lauric acid than any known source – other than mothers-milk. The EFA’s that are found in coconut oil are processed directly in the liver. This process causes an increase in metabolism, while at the same time giving the person who ingests it an energy boost."

Most, although not all, of the biochemical processes of bacteria also occur in eukaryotic microbes and in the cells of multicellular organisms, including humans. However, the reactions that are unique to bacteria are fascinating because they allow microorganisms to do things we cannot do. For example, some bacteria can live on cellulose, whereas others can live on petroleum. Through their metabolism, bacteria recycle elements after other organisms have used them. Still other bacteria can live on diets of such inorganic substances as carbon dioxide, iron, sulfur, hydrogen gas, and ammonia.

"text": "How to Easily Decarb Marijuana [Updated for 2018]Posted on January 27, 2017 in Breakfast, Desserts, Dinner, Drinks, Other, Snacks Decarboxylation of marijuana is the process by which carbon atoms are removed from every other atom in the marijuana, whether it’s the THCs or the cannabinoids and everything else that needs the carbon atom to be broken off to make the marijuana active. Decarboxylation automatically happens when we smoke marijuana or cook it with butter, oil or fat. Cooking and heating allows the decarboxylation process to occur. But in the method described below it is a bit different. This process of decarboxylating marijuana can be used for tinctures and anything else where you are not going to raise the temperature of cooking above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Let’s take a look at this simple process of decarboxylation that can be done at home. Kitchen Tools required: An oven ( this is where the carbon atoms will be broken off)A grinder An oven safe dish Aluminium foil Ingredients1oz of marijuana Directions Start by grinding the marijuana into a coarse and mealy consistency using the grinder. Don’t make it too fine or coarse. You can grind it after the decarboxylation process is over, but in this method we’re grinding the weed before decarbing. In the next step you’ll preheat the oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit."

The hydrogen is retained in reduced form; it is subsequently oxidized in the respiratory chain.5.1.1Pyruvate degradation occurs in the mitochondria Pyruvate is produced by glycolysis in the cytosol, while PDH and all subsequent degradative steps are located in the mitochondria. Therefore, pyruvate needs to be transported from the cytosol to the mitochondrial matrix. The outer mitochondrial membrane contains porins, which are membrane proteins that form non-specific pores and allow free permeation of most small metabolites, including pyruvate. In contrast, the inner mitochondrial membrane is much more restrictive, and it is permeable to only those metabolites for which it contains specific carrier systems. The pyruvate carrier is an active transporter that co-transports pyruvate and a proton. 18Red blood cells and blood platelets lack mitochondria and accordingly cannot degrade pyruvate. These cells reduce pyruvate to lactate, which they then release into the bloodstream (see slide 3.4.2 ).5.2Structure and function of pyruvate dehydrogenase►The PDH reaction occurs in three successive steps that are catalyzed by three different subunits The structural organization of the PDH complex A lipoamide tether guides the substrate from one active site to the next The pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction involves multiple coenzymes Thiamine pyrophosphate forms a carbanion Decarboxylation of pyruvate by E 1Release of acetyl-Co A and disposal of hydrogen Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a large and complex molecule with interesting structural, catalytic and regulatory properties.5.2.1The PDH reaction occurs in three successive steps that are catalyzed by three different subunits The overall reaction catalyzed by PDH is as follows: Pyruvate + Co A-SH + NAD + → CO 2 + acetyl-Co A + NADH + H +This reaction does not occur all at once; instead, it is carried out as a sequence of group transfers and redox steps by three different catalytic subunits.

The invention further relates to the cannabidiol isolates that can be obtained using this process and to applications thereof in pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic formulations. Background of the invention Since many years cannabis {Cannabis sativa) has been used as a medicament for use in the treatment of various diseases and disorders. Cannabinoids, which are substituted monoterpenes, are the major active constituents of the plant Cannabis sativa. Despite various useful pharmacological properties, Cannabis has always been looked at with skepticism due to the abuse potential. The principle cannabinoid components present in (herbal) cannabis are the cannabinoid acids Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (Δ9 THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), with small amounts of the corresponding neutral cannabinoids, respectively Δ- 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9 THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). For quite some time, cannabidiol (and the corresponding acid) was regarded as inactive constituent, but there is now emerging evidence that CBD has pharmacological activity of its own that is quite distinct from that of Δ9 THC in several respects. CBD does not bind to the known cannabinoid receptors CBi or CB 2, and therefore does not cause the central or peripheral effects mediated by these receptors, as does THC. While this makes CBD a poor choice for recreational users, it gives the chemical a significant advantage as a medicine, since health professionals prefer treatments with minimal side effects. Although CBD and THC act on different pathways of the body, they seem to have many of the same medical benefits."

Try a tincture. Tinctures have been described as the most underrated of all the pot products because there aren’t as many fun, and potentially punishable, reefer rituals associated with their use. Tinctures are arguably underutilized compared to raw flowers, edibles, and dabs even though they work just as well, or sometimes even better. In spite of how novel they may seem to so many cannabis consumers, tinctures are really nothing new. In fact, tincture was the primary form of cannabis medicine until it was banned in 1937. Source: http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap4/Tincture.htm You may not have heard about marijuana tinctures yet because an eyedropper full of medicine just doesn’t have the same stigma that edibles or dabbing does. You don’t need a creme brulee blowtorch in order to medicate with a tincture, which is why tinctures don’t have any derogatory mainstream media monikers such as “the crack of cannabis”. You’re also much less likely to overdose or “overdowd” on a cannabis tincture than you are with a marijuana edible for reasons we’ll explain later in this post. And lest you wonder what “overdowd” means, it’s a slang portmanteau of the words “over” (as in overdose) and “dowd” (the last name of journalist Marueen Dowd)."

The motor system can be divided into (1) the peripheral apparatus, which consists of the anterior horn cell and its peripheral axon, the neuromuscular junction, and muscle, and (2) the more complex central apparatus, which includes the descending tracts involved in control (i.e., the pyramidal system) and the systems involved in initiating and regulating movement (the basal ganglia and cerebellum). Dysfunction in individual components of the motor system results in fairly specific abnormalities that can be evaluated at the bedside. Although multiple components may be involved (particularly with diseases of the central nervous system) isolated involvement of the various components commonly occurs. We will consider these components in order to help you establish an orderly approach to motor system evaluation (Table 10-1 ). Examination for motor dysfunction includes assessment of strength, muscle tone, muscle bulk, coordination, abnormal movements and various reflexes. Many of these are best detected through simple (but careful) observation. However, a few maneuvers aid in the detection of abnormality. Table 10-2 lists the components of a comprehensive and efficient screening examination that will elicit and localize most motor system dysfunctions.

[ 1] A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose. A distinction is made in the medical community between a real coma and a medically induced coma, the former is a result of circumstances beyond the control of the medical community, while the latter is a means by which medical professionals may allow a patient's injuries to heal in a controlled environment. A comatose person exhibits a complete absence of wakefulness and is unable to consciously feel, speak, hear, or move.

"text": "\"Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Hepatic encephalopathy Hepatic encephalopathy is the occurrence of confusion, altered level of consciousness, and coma as a result of liver failure. In the advanced stages it is called hepatic coma or coma hepaticum. It may ultimately lead to death. It is caused by accumulation in the bloodstream of toxic substances that are normally removed by the liver. The diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy requires the presence of impaired liver function and the exclusion of an alternative explanation for the symptoms. Blood tests may assist in the diagnosis. Attacks are often precipitated by an intercurrent problem, such as infection or constipation. Hepatic encephalopathy is reversible with treatment. This relies on suppressing the production of the toxic substances in the intestine and is most commonly done with the laxative lactulose or with non-absorbable antibiotics. In addition, the treatment of any underlying condition may improve the symptoms."

Can you describe for us very briefly the kinds of studies that you have been engaged in over these 18 years? Describe for us briefly, if you will, what kinds of studies you have made of the reactions of animal bodies or human bodies to high velocity bullets being fired into the various portions of those bodies? A. Animals are used for -- goats are the experimental animal of choice, and also there is less public empathy with a goat than there is with other types of experimental animals. And you need something fairly large approaching a human. Goats have been used for years. And in the course of those studies one thing we had noted -- people say a gun has great knockdown power. So we tried to see which weapons had the best knockdown power."

You don't have to see a CT scan or autopsy to know if the brainstem is injured (directly or indirectly), if it doesn't work right. The description of the first doc at the scene mentioned that Lincoln was not breathing, and one pupil was dilated (the latter a clear and unequivocal sign of dysfunction of the third cranial nerve or the upper brainstem, from where it comes). Unfortunately, the second doc described the enlarged pupil being the right one (it's extremely unlikely to have been one and then the other - one of the doc's was probably mistaken as to the side). By 3 hours after injury, both pupils were fixed and dilated, and Lincoln showed extensor (decerebrate) posturing - again, all signs of profound brainstem dysfunction (but not yet brain death, though pretty close to it). Now, what is decerebrate posturing? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnormal_posturing#Decerebrate Decerebrate posturing is also called decerebrate response, decerebrate rigidity, or extensor posturing. It describes the involuntary extension of the upper extremities in response to external stimuli. In decerebrate posturing, the head is arched back, the arms are extended by the sides, and the legs are extended. ["

"text": "This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Introduction Epidemiology Presentation Aetiology Investigations Management Introduction Serum sodium concentration is maintained by a homeostatic mechanism that involves thirst, antidiuretic hormone (ADH, also called vasopressin) secretion, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone feedback system and the renal handling of sodium. Hyponatraemia represents a relative excess of water in relation to sodium and is defined as a serum sodium <136 mmol/L. A level <120 mmol/L is considered severe. Falsely low sodium value results can occur with very high circulating levels of lipids or proteins in which the concentration of sodium in the water phase is normal (plasma osmolality normal). This can also occur in severe hyperglycaemia as the high levels of glucose draw intracellular water into the extracellular space. Epidemiology Hyponatraemia is the most common electrolyte abnormality encountered in clinical practice. An accurate incidence of mild hyponatraemia managed in the community is impossible, as it is rarely reported. Hyponatraemia is associated with multiple poor clinical outcomes and is often managed suboptimally because of inadequate assessment and investigation. [ 1]There is no sex predilection. Infants and the elderly are most at risk because they are less likely to be able to express their thirst and autonomously control their own fluid intake. Furthermore, infants with diarrhoea, given tap water instead of electrolyte replacement fluid, and those given watered-down milk formula for reasons of economy, are known to be at risk."

The Glasgow Coma Scale was devised to provide a uniform approach to clinical assessment of trauma patients with acute head trauma. To measure level of awareness and responsiveness, the scale assigns numeric values (1 to 5) to each of the following: eye opening, best motor response, and best verbal response. Scores of 13 to 15 correspond to mild closed head injury; 9 to 12, to moderate head injury; and 8 or less to severe brain injury. The Glasgow Coma Scale does not correlate with survival outcome in cases of severe head trauma with coma. Read full chapter Intensive Care Management of Acute Head Injury Virginia Newcombe, David K. Menon, in Essentials of Neuroanesthesia and Neurointensive Care, 2008Ventilatory Support and the Use of Hypocapnia for Intracranial Pressure Reduction A Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 8 or less, ventilatory failure, central neurogenic hyperventilation, and recurrent seizures are all indications for intubation and ventilation. Reasonable targets include a Pa o 2 higher than 75 mm Hg (10 k Pa) and a Pa co 2 of 36 to 40 mm Hg (4.5 to 5.0 k Pa). Hyperventilation has been shown to increase the volume of hypoperfused tissue in a severely injured brain. Therefore, although it is effective in rapidly reducing ICP, prolonged or profound hyperventilation may further stress the traumatized brain and lead to secondary neuronal damage."

[ 1] A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose. A distinction is made in the medical community between a real coma and a medically induced coma, the former is a result of circumstances beyond the control of the medical community, while the latter is a means by which medical professionals may allow a patient's injuries to heal in a controlled environment. A comatose person exhibits a complete absence of wakefulness and is unable to consciously feel, speak, hear, or move. [ 2] For a patient to maintain consciousness, two important neurological components must function. The first is the cerebral cortex —the gray matter that forms the outer layer of the brain. The other is a structure located in the brainstem, called reticular activating system (RAS). [ 3] [4]Injury to either or both of these components is sufficient to cause a patient to experience a coma."

The decidious forest has four very different seasons,fall, winter, spring, summer. There temperatures vary depending on the season. In winter and fall it is cool, mild, or cold so bring a winter coat, mittens or gloves, scarf, hat, and some hot chocolate. Throughtout spring and summer it is warm or hot, bringing some shorts,t-shirts,and tank tops would be a good idea. There are many diverse animals in the land in the Deciduous Forest and they add a great addition to the forest. Some animals hibernate in the winter and some adapt to the climate. In summer and spring, all animals are out and although they're peaceful don't get too close. The trees in this environment provide shelter for the animals living in it and most of the animals use the trees to their advantage by using it as a shelter to. In additon, it is a protective shelter when storms come which does happen often."

David Beaulieu A reader asked me, \"\"When should I be watering trees in fall? And how much water do I need to give them?\"\" This is an astute question because it is not a matter of whether you should irrigate trees in autumn or not. It is more complicated than that. We need to pinpoint the right time within the fall season to water. We know why you should be watering trees in fall thanks to the prior FAQ. So now let us look, in detail, into when to do it -- and when not to do it. When to Water Trees in Fall Stop watering trees, both evergreen and deciduous, throughout early autumn, until the time when the leaves of the deciduous trees fall (this remarkable change on the deciduous trees serves as a useful indicator, whereas their evergreen counterparts, being relatively unchanging, offer little in the way of guidance)."

Eastern deciduous forests provide an important habitat for a wide variety of bird species. Within a single deciduous forest, there are many micro-habitats, and each has specific bird species that prefer it to other parts of the forest. For example, the dead trees in the forest provide food and shelter for woodpeckers. Meanwhile, wild turkeys forage the ground of the forest looking for acorns and seeds, and then roost at night in the low branches of forest trees. Nebraska’s eastern deciduous forests are home to woodpeckers, turkeys, songbirds, hawks, and owls. What do they eat? The trees and plants of deciduous forest provide a variety of seeds and berries for birds. For example, oak trees – both bur oaks and red oaks &ndashprovide a wealth of acorns each fall.

"text": "Introduction. The boreal forest (also known as the taiga, a russian word meaning swampy moist forest) is found in a nearly continuous belt across North America and Eurasia. Most of Canada and Russia are covered by coniferous trees that make up this biome. This biome is defined mainly by the trees that compose it. The climax trees are furs, spruces and pines. Subclimax plant communities may have deciduous trees like larch, tamarack and birch. Much of the zone that this biome covers was formerly glaciated. Today large sections have permenent permafrost. Climate: The boreal forest corresponds with regions of subarctic and cold continental climate. There are long, severe winters (up to six months with mean temperatures below freezing) and short summers (50 to 100 frost-free days), as is a wide range of temperatures between the lows of winter and highs of summer."

Second-growth deciduous forest, Warren County, New Jersey, United States (June 2007)Deciduous forest in autumn, Hesse, Germany Deciduous forest in winter, Denmark In the fields of horticulture and botany, the term deciduous means \"\"falling off at maturity\"\" [1] and \"\"tending to fall off\"\", [2] in reference to trees and shrubs that seasonally shed leaves, usually in the autumn; to the shedding of petals, after flowering; and to the shedding of ripe fruit. Generally, the term deciduous means \"\"the dropping of a part that is no longer needed\"\" and the \"\"falling away [of a part] after its purpose is finished\"\". In plants, it is the result of natural processes. \"\" Deciduous\"\" has a similar meaning when referring to animal parts, such as deciduous antlers in deer, [3] deciduous teeth (baby teeth) in some mammals (including humans); or decidua, the uterine lining that sheds off after birth. Wood from deciduous trees is used in a variety of ways in several industries including lumber for furniture, construction and flooring (oak), ornamental, bowling pins and baseball bats (maple) and furniture, cabinets, plywood and paneling (birch).

The zone levels are dependent upon the height of the trees. The temperate deciduous forest gets its name because the temperatures are temperate meaning they are not extreme. Temperate deciduous forests receive 30 - 60 inches of rain each year and are ranked second only to the rainforest as the rainiest biome. Although the average temperature is 50° F, the winter typically sees temperatures below freezing. The trees of the temperate deciduous forest are deciduous of course."

"text": "Related Articles Evergreen Trees That Produce Cones The Advantages of Dual Action Hedge Trimmers Yellow Disease in Redwood Trees Brown Leaves on Redwoods Most coniferous trees are evergreen, meaning all their needles don't drop during the first frosts of autumn and winter, unlike deciduous trees. Some shedding in evergreen trees is natural, as old needles are replaced every few years by new needles. Deciduous coniferous trees are rare. These include the dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), the European larch (Larix decidua), and the bald-cypress (Taxodium distichum). Dawn Redwood Dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a huge, deciduous conifer that can grow to a mature height of up to 150 feet, with a trunk diameter of more than 8 feet. The tree is characterized by a pyramidal habit, peeling, reddish bark, and deciduous needles, about 1/2 inch long. A native of the Sichuan and Hubei provinces in west-central China, dawn redwood grows in sunny sites with well-draining soil or soggy soils. European Larch European larch (Larix decidua) is a deciduous member of the pine family that grows to be between 70 to 100 feet tall, with a diameter of up to 2 feet. It produces brown cones and light green needles that gradually turn yellow before falling in the autumn. European larch hails from northern and central Europe, growing best in temperate climates in full or partial sunlight."

Answer by Gregg Anderton Confidence votes 28.0KCommunity Manager who loves to wrench on cars, grow plants in the garden, remodel my home, and observe nature. A coniferous forest has trees like evergreens, they never lose their leaves and they are always green. Like a chirstmas tree before it's cut. A deciduous forest is a forest where the leaves on the trees do turn colors and eventually fall of in the fall and winter. That's just a simple difference though, there are much more complicated differences. Coniferous forests are found in colder climates, in fact the further north you go the less deciduous trees you will find. This also holds true for hot climates . Coniferous trees have evolved needles and thick sap so they lose less moisture to the elements while deciduous trees are usually located in areas of abundant moisture."

Unlike evergreens, deciduous shrubs loose their leaves in winter and therefore can create with a changing landscape throughout the year. Deciduous shrubs are the backbone of most landscapes. They help visually anchor buildings and structures to the landscape, provide underplantings for trees, and create a backdrop for herbaceous flowers. Because they are available in a variety of heights and widths, it is possible to find a deciduous shrub to fill most any space in the landscape. To remain attractive, however, shrubs need regular maintenance and care. Click on any of the following headings and link to chapters that explain selection and maintenance of deciduous shrubs: Choosing and Planting Deciduous Shrubs Maintenance of Deciduous Shrubs Pruning Watering Mulching Fertilizing Winter Protection Animal Damage Choosing and Planting Deciduous Shrubs When choosing shrub species for a landscape planting, it is important to first analyze the site so that the shrub chosen is appropriate for the light, soil, and moisture conditions. It is important to observe the surrounding landscape, take a soil test, document how much sun the area receives each day, and determine the hardiness zone. Every possible aspect affecting the shrub should be considered first, and then a shrub species appropriate for the conditions can be chosen. If a shrub is chosen that is not adapted to the site conditions, the shrub will forever be stressed and require higher maintenance."

The Nordic fables that we read as bedtime stories paint a vivid picture of the northern boreal forests . These are the kind of forests where a lost traveler could lay down on a thick bed of moss only to wake up and find himself surrounded by curious gnomes; where trolls guard bridges; where marsh-men are known to drag you into peat bogs and never let you go…It’s no wonder people respected these forests and feared the creatures that may have lay in the shadows. Large mammals like moose, bears and wolves are commonly found here, and many people actually do get sucked into the bogs and marshes. Beyond these dangers, the forest itself is often dark and mysterious. Thick stands of Fir and Spruce trees create a canopy that blocks most of the sunlight, making it dark and difficult to navigate. Green and black lichens drape themselves from the tall trees like hag’s hair, playing tricks on your eyes, causing you to think very seriously about the existence of wood-goblins…Wild fantasies and overactive imaginations aside, the boreal forest is the largest terrestrial biome on the planet, with much of it still undisturbed and unaltered by human beings. The bogs and marshes contain plant species with amazing adaptations for survival, and the forest can be truly enchanting, despite the lack of gingerbread-house-dwelling witches. Where can we find them? Boreal forests are only found in the northern hemisphere of Earth, mainly between latitudes 50° and 60° N. With short, cool summers and long, cold winters, these forests form an almost contiguous belt around the Earth, sandwiched between temperate deciduous forests to the south and tundra to the north."

"text": "Should Women Train Chest? Kellie Davis 11 Comments Jul 12,2012 Training To bench or not to bench? I learned as a teen that doing pushups everyday did not make my boobs grow. In fact, the opposite happened after a several weeks—they shrank. I remember the horror when I arrived at a friend’s house one afternoon wearing a workout tank with no bra. Her tactless (gotta love her) mom stood outside to greet me, and rather than the typical, “How are you,†that I am used to, a shout heard for miles rang out as this, “What the hell happened to your boobs?â€From that moment I swore off chest exercises. But was that right decision? Though dancing pecs are the coveted prize for men (okay, it’s be cool if I could do that, too) having strong chest muscles has never really been something the average girl seeks. But, training with horizontal press movements (movements where you are in a horizontal position and pressing either body weight or weights) not only works your chest muscles, but the surrounding muscles as well– which in turn can increase the support for your breasts. This includes shoulders (yeah, baby!"

"text": "\"Pros & Cons of a Decline Bench Pressby DAN KETCHUM Sept. 11, 2017There's no doubt that the bench press is a legendary exercise, but even the most fabled legends aren't perfect. After 50 years of gym dominance — and verifiable benefits for building strength and sculpting the pecs — the barbell bench press isn't going anywhere, but it's worth a nuanced view. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Like a flat bench, a decline press has the potential to build both upper body power and muscle, but it doesn't recruit key shoulder muscles and it may even cause shoulder strain. As a subtle variation on a classic, the decline bench press comes with some naturally subtle perks and drawbacks of its own, too. The Potential Perks... Bench press die-hards invented the decline press for a reason, and that reason is because they wanted a more intense focus on stimulating the chest muscles. Though the jury is still out on whether or not the decline press is conclusively better than the flat bench in that regard, some may experience more stimulation — especially in the lower chest — due to the exercise's greater range of motion. Though your chest mileage may vary, the decline bench press' activation of the latissimus dorsi — the mid-back \"\"lats\"\" — is greater than even a wide-grip flat bench press, and the intensity increases even further with a narrow-grip decline press (though, to be fair, neither press excels at lat activation). Read more: The Best Exercises to Increase Lat Size...and the Possible Pitfalls Though the lowered position of the decline press aims to boost your range of motion, you can seriously stunt that range if your grip is too wide. As a rule of thumb, your forearms should be pretty much vertical at the bottom of a rep, with an overhand grip for a standard decline press. The bench press activates the front shoulder muscles known as the anterior deltoids as synergists, or muscles that help other muscles complete a movement, but a declined angle may reduce the focus on the delts."

"text": "\"If you want big, full, strong, “armor-plate” pecs that pop, then you want to do these chest exercises and workouts. Biceps and chest. The two workouts that guys never miss…and the two muscle groups that they have the most trouble developing. There are good reasons for this. Except in the cases of genetic windfall, the biceps are small, stubborn muscles that take an inordinate amount of time and work to develop. The pecs are larger and stronger than the biceps but, in most cases, start from basically nothing. Modern, sedentary living just doesn’t involve the chest muscles to any significant degree and thus most guys and gals new to weightlifting are embarrassingly weak on the bench press. Don’t despair, though. No matter how small and weak you may feel your chest is…you can build that superhero, “armor plate” chest that you really want. And this article is going to show you how."

"text": "How To Get Pecs – Examining Upper Chest Exercises For A Full, Square And Masculine Upper Body When it comes to building a masculine & strong physique it’s hard to argue against the impact a broad and squared chest has. I think that in order to look the best though, your pecs can’t just be big and bloated. So really, the question isn’t necessarily how to get pecs, but rather how to get strong, masculine pecs. The best place to start is by doing upper chest exercises. It’s almost instinctual for us guys to hit the flat bench as soon as we walk in the gym… It’s like we’re pulled that way without even thinking. But in reality, the flat bench probably isn’t the best place to start. Sure, it will help add size to your chest, but it would be much better to focus on the upper chest exercises first. Upper Chest Exercises To Get Pecs In addition to starting on your upper pecs first, I have found that it makes a big difference when you concentrate on form so that you can really contract your upper pecs as you lift while doing your chest workouts. You won’t be able to lift nearly as much as you are used to on the flat bench, so you’re going to have to set aside your ego… don’t worry, soon enough you won’t mind!It can be surprisingly difficult to get a good contraction from your upper pecs but by doing so you will see a big difference in the amount of definition and size you get. It is even better to go with a slightly lighter weight at first until you can get a good squeeze."

"text": "Decline Bench Press Purposeby MIKE SAMUELS Sept. 11, 2017The decline bench press is an excellent exercise for developing the size and strength in your chest, shoulders and triceps. While many people often think of it as an exercise predominantly targeted at training the lower chest muscles, it actually hits the entire muscle. To perform a decline bench press, set your bench to between a 15- and 30-degree decline, grasp the bar with your hands about 18 inches apart, and utilize a full range of motion on every rep. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Muscles Worked Decline bench presses mainly work your chest muscles, with some involvement of your shoulders and triceps. Your chest, or pectoral muscles, are responsible for two main actions -- flexion and adduction of your upper arm. When your pecs contract, they bring your arms toward the center of your body, with your elbows facing either out to the side or toward the floor. Your shoulder muscles also aid in flexion and adduction, and they help stabilize your shoulder joint. At the top part of the lift, your triceps -- the muscles on the back of your arms -- work to extend your arms. Bodybuilding The decline bench press is a commonly seen exercise in many bodybuilding routines. While many might consider it to be an exercise that targets mostly the fibers of the lower chest muscles, according to former Mr. Olympia bodybuilding champion Dorian Yates, decline bench presses hit your entire chest muscle."

"text": "Posted on July 24, 2014Different Muscles For Different Presses Written by Brandon Morrison Posted in Uncategorized Comments2 Comments Article written by Seth Larsen If you’re a strength athlete, by now you have developed a serious relationship with upper body pressing movements. For some, it is loving partnership full of constant gains and minimal pain. For others, it is a nasty struggle of a relationship, characterized by nagging injuries and difficulty making progress. For most of us, however, it is like many of our other relationships in life; we go through the ups and downs, but can’t give it up due to its importance. As for myself, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with pressing. Some of my presses are fun, painless, and productive, while others are humbling and frustrating. At the end of the day, we all need to press for a multitude of reasons. Some people are naturally good pressers. This is often due to variations in anatomy such as arm length and shoulder mobility, but can also be attributed to certain muscle groups that are just stronger than others. For those that pressing does not come to easily, the reasons are no different."

"text": "\"What Percentage of My Weight Should I Bench Press?by ANTHONY MARRONE Sept. 11, 2017Bench pressing remains one of the most popular upper-body exercises, and training the bench press develops the strength of your chest, shoulders and triceps. The amount that you bench press often determines how coaches rank your upper-body strength. While many other exercises train more important muscle groups and have greater sport-specific application, improving your bench press will help you develop muscle and power. Consult a health care professional before beginning any strength-training program. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Novice Lifters A novice lifter can be considered one who has trained regularly for three to nine months. Learning to bench press is like learning any other skill -- you improve with practice. If you have been training less than a year, you have had time to learn proper technique, but not master it. You have also had time to build strength and gain lean muscle mass. Much of your early gains come from improvements in motor skills, according to a 1992 study published in the \"\"European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology.\"\" If you are man, you should bench press just under 80 percent of your body weight."

"text": "\"Social Science Psychology In the psychiatric world, what is \"\"decompensation\"\"? I've seen this word quite a bit lately and wondered what it describes? Symptoms? Can a person diagnose themselves if this occurs? Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Decompensation is a worsening of symptoms to the state of a serious mental disorder. The symptoms themselves depend on the particular disorder. So, for example, if someone being treated for schizophrenia and began to decompensate, it would mean a return of or a worsening of symptoms such as delusions or hallucinations and poorer functioning in areas such as social relationships, self-care, etc. At one time people might have referred to decompensation as having a nervous breakdown. In dynamic terms it is the breakdown of a person's defensive structure leading to personality disintegration. The important variable is that symptoms begin to interfere with functioning."

"text": "Hypovolemia By Jan Modric , August 6th 2013. Last reviewed 20th March 2018. What is hypovolemia? The medical definition of hypovolemia is a decrease of the volume of circulating blood [Greek hypo = less; vol = volume; emia refers to blood] 1. Symptoms and Signs Symptoms and signs of hypovolemia (pale, cool and moist skin, increased heart rate, weak pulse) may not be present until the blood volume decreases for more than 10-20%, when hypovolemic shock starts to develop. Absolute vs Relative Hypovolemia Absolute hypovolemia refers to a decreased volume of the fluid (blood) within the circulatory system in which the fluid leaves the body, for example in bleeding. In relative hypovolemia, the fluid from the circulatory system does not leave the body and it can refer to 2 different situations: The volume of the circulatory system increases, for example due to widespread vasodilation in neurogenic shock, and the volume of the fluid (blood) within the circulatory system remains the same but becomes insufficient. Some fluid leaves the circulatory system, but not the body, for example in ascites, where the fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity. Causes of Absolute Hypovolemia Loss of blood (external bleeding)Loss of plasma (burns)Loss of water from the body (severe diarrhea or vomiting, excessive sweating or excessive urination) 8Causes of Relative Hypovolemia Relative or distributive hypovolemia can occur in the following situations: Vasodilation with an increase in the volume of the intravascular space with insufficient blood volume to fill this space and therefore a drop of blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension 2, vasovagal syncope 4, neurogenic shock due to spinal cord injury, septic shock, anaphylaxis, side effect of barbiturates and antihypertensives)Internal bleeding 3Blood trapped within the circulatory system (aortic dissection)Decreased blood volume in the arteries–arterial hypovolemia–in heart failure 10Decreased oncotic pressure of the blood plasma due to low blood protein levels and hypoalbuminemia (in nephrotic syndrome with anasarca 3,8, protein malnutrition [Kwashiorkor] or ascites — accumulation of the fluid in the abdominal cavity) 8Peritonitis with a loss of fluid into the abdominal cavity Shift of water from the blood into the body cells (in hyponatremia). Dehydration Hypovolemia and dehydration are closely related, but are not synonyms."

The main damage in cirrhosis is triggered by scarring (fibrosis) that occurs from injuries due to alcohol, viruses, fatty liver disease (NASH) or other problems. Eventually, the liver is taken over by scar tissue and becomes a series of nodules which do not allow chemicals to flow through and the liver stops functioning. The scar tissue and nodules act like small dams and alter the flow of blood and bile in and out of the liver. Altered Blood and Bile Flow.

On average, exacerbations of COPD result in 600,000 ED visits per year. It is the fourth leading cause of death in adults. There is a broad spectrum of disease from patients with mild symptoms and occasional flares to the patient who is oxygen dependent and frequently hospitalized. Worldwide, important secondary causes of COPD include air pollution, use of indoor cooking fires, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. However, far and away, smoking tobacco is the leading cause of COPD. Classic Presentation The classic presentation of a patient with a COPD exacerbation includes wheezing, productive cough, dyspnea on exertion, hypoxia, and tachycardia. The patient may relate increased use of inhalers, sputum change, or a new requirement of an upright sleeping position (eg, chair). However, these symptoms have a significant overlap with other causes of dyspnea and a wide differential diagnosis should be entertained initially.

Print Practice Essentials Cirrhosis is defined histologically as a diffuse hepatic process characterized by fibrosis and conversion of the normal liver architecture into structurally abnormal nodules. The progression of liver injury to cirrhosis may occur over weeks to years. Signs and symptoms Some patients with cirrhosis are completely asymptomatic and have a reasonably normal life expectancy. Other individuals have a multitude of the most severe symptoms of end-stage liver disease and a limited chance for survival. Common signs and symptoms may stem from decreased hepatic synthetic function (eg, coagulopathy), portal hypertension (eg, variceal bleeding), or decreased detoxification capabilities of the liver (eg, hepatic encephalopathy). Portal hypertension Portal hypertension can have prehepatic, intrahepatic, or posthepatic causes. Budd-Chiari syndrome, a posthepatic cause, is characterized by the following symptoms: Hepatomegaly Abdominal pain Ascites Ascites is suggested by the following findings on physical examination: Abdominal distention Bulging flanks Shifting dullness Elicitation of a \"\"puddle sign\"\" in patients in the knee-elbow position Hepatic encephalopathy The symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy may range from mild to severe and may be observed in as many as 70% of patients with cirrhosis. Symptoms are graded on the following scale: Grade 0 - Subclinical; normal mental status but minimal changes in memory, concentration, intellectual function, coordination Grade 1 - Mild confusion, euphoria or depression, decreased attention, slowing of ability to perform mental tasks, irritability, disorder of sleep pattern (ie, inverted sleep cycle)Grade 2 - Drowsiness, lethargy, gross deficits in ability to perform mental tasks, obvious personality changes, inappropriate behavior, intermittent disorientation (usually with regard to time)Grade 3 - Somnolent, but arousable state; inability to perform mental tasks; disorientation with regard to time and place; marked confusion; amnesia; occasional fits of rage; speech is present but incomprehensible Grade 4 - Coma, with or without response to painful stimuli Findings on physical examination in hepatic encephalopathy include asterixis and fetor hepaticus. Additional signs and symptoms Many patients with cirrhosis experience fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and muscle wasting. Cutaneous manifestations of cirrhosis include jaundice, spider angiomata, skin telangiectasias (\"\"paper money skin\"\"), palmar erythema, white nails, disappearance of lunulae, and finger clubbing, especially in the setting of hepatopulmonary syndrome."

It is a combination pill containing sofosbuvir (sold separately as Sovaldi) plus ledipasvir. It was approved in Europe in November 2014 for treatment of adults with genotype 1 or 4 chronic hepatitis C, and for some people with genotype 3. For many people with these genotypes, Harvoni is an interferon-free and ribavirin-free hepatitis C treatment option. Some people with harder-to-treat disease may do better if they add ribavirin. Successful treatment reduces the risk of long-term complications of hepatitis C such as liver cancer or needing a liver transplant. How does Harvoni work? Harvoni contains two direct-acting antiviral drugs that target different steps of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) lifecycle. Sofosbuvir is a nucleotide analogue HCV polymerase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the polymerase enzyme which the virus must use to reproduce. Ledipasvir is an HCV NS5A replication complex inhibitor that interferes with another protein HCV uses to reproduce. Who can use Harvoni?"

However, it sounds like you have a very large one, which has a tendancy to break down ('decompensate'). I'll try and explain this in layman's terms: What is a phoria? Your eyes have a tendancy to drift either inwards or outwards, but when you're using them as a pair they are perfectly aligned (i.e. they are only misaligned when they are dissociated). You may have an esophoria (eyes rotate inwards) or an exophoria (eyes rotate outwards; more common). If, as in your case, a phoria produces symptoms (double vision. I assume you get double vision? ), it has decompensated into a tropia (misalignment of the eyes even when they're attempting to work together as a pair). This is usually due to the fact that the phoria is too large for the brain to control all the time."

"text": "\"Management of Hypertension after Stroke I. What every physician needs to know. It is important to recognize that the risk of overaggressive lowering of blood pressure (BP) in the hyperacute period after ischemic stroke is an expansion of the area of infarction. The risk of hypertension-induced cerebral edema and hemorrhagic conversion must be balanced against the risk of decreasing cerebral blood flow to at-risk brain tissue (penumbra). BP is usually elevated after stroke and spontaneously falls by 10-15% in the first 24 hours. The traditional concept is \"\"permissive hypertension\"\" for ischemic stroke not treated with thrombolysis with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) 2007 guidelines recommending no new antihypertensives unless BP is above 220/120 millimiters mercury (mm Hg) in the first 24 hours. Some clinicians may feel uncomfortable with BPs in this range but it is important to recognize that the unique physiology of cerebral perfusion after stroke may create harm with reduction in BP. The 2013 AHA/ASA Guidelines for the Early Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke concedes that while the ideal blood pressure range is still inconclusive, the initial recommendation for a blood pressure target of <220/120 mm Hg within the first 24 hours after an acute ischemic stroke remains reasonable. Some patients with acute ischemic stroke may have co-existing conditions that may be worsened by acute arterial hypertension, such as myocardial ischemia, aortic dissection, or heart failure, amongst others. The approach to blood pressure management for these patients should be determined on a case-by-case basis, and using best clinical judgement. If it is deemed necessary by the physician to reduce the blood pressure, a 15% reduction in systolic pressure while monitoring for neurological deterioration is a reasonable goal."

"text": "Overview Normal liver vs. liver cirrhosis Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism. The liver carries out several necessary functions, including detoxifying harmful substances in your body, cleaning your blood and making vital nutrients. Cirrhosis occurs in response to damage to your liver. Each time your liver is injured, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to function. Decompensated cirrhosis is the term used to describe the development of specific complications resulting from the changes brought on by cirrhosis. Decompensated cirrhosis is life-threatening. The liver damage done by cirrhosis generally can't be undone. But if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early and the cause is treated, further damage can be limited and, rarely, reversed."

Labruzzo, Pharm D Assistant Professor University of Louisiana at Monroe University of Pharmacy, Shreveport , Louisiana Jeffery D. Evans, Pharm D Assistant Professor University of Louisiana at Monroe College of Pharmacy, Shreveport , Louisiana Heart failure (HF) is defined as the inability of the heart to provide adequate blood supply throughout the body. This may lead to several different vascular (e.g., edema) and metabolic (e.g., angina) conditions. There is no one cause of HF, and each cause may have unique symptoms. With over five million current cases of HF in the United States , the patient base is large. In 2001, the inpatient mortality rate for patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF) was 4.3%. 1Pharmacists are in a unique position to help treat patients with HF, since the majority of effective treatments involve the use of medications. Data indicating the effectiveness of pharmacists as part of a team of health care practitioners in the management of patients with heart failure continue to grow. The Pharmacists in Heart Failure Assessment Recommendation and Monitoring (PHARM) Study showed that adding a clinical pharmacist to a health care team consisting of physicians had a significant mortality benefit. 2 In addition, patients seen by clinical pharmacists were more likely to be prescribed the most effective dose of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Pharmacist-managed clinics focusing on patients with HF have been effective in increasing compliance with prescribed medications and educating patients about the disease state as well as the importance of exercise, weight management, and avoidance of high-salt foods."

"text": "Disability claims based on bipolar disorder can be approved if the medical evidence substantiates the severity of your alleged symptoms Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness characterized by drastic shifts in mood, energy level, and overall ability to function. Bipolar disorder is also referred to as manic depressive illness. The manic phase can include poor judgment, reckless behavior, racing thoughts, inability to effectively communicate. The depressed phase can include sadness, difficulty remembering, lack of energy, feeling of guilt or worthlessness, suicidal ideations or attempts, etc. These symptoms can limit your ability to function normally and to maintain employment. Does Social Security consider bipolar disorder to be disabling? The short answer is, “It depends.” And it depends on many factors, most notably the severity of your symptoms, the effectiveness of treatment options, the strength of your medical evidence, your age, your education level and the type of work you have done. A challenge with disability claims based on bipolar disorder is that the underlying cause of the symptoms is oftentimes not medically determinable, meaning there are no tests that can objectively confirm the existence of the disorder. This makes it difficult for Social Security to assess the severity of the alleged conditions."

"text": "Overview Normal liver vs. liver cirrhosis Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism. The liver carries out several necessary functions, including detoxifying harmful substances in your body, cleaning your blood and making vital nutrients. Cirrhosis occurs in response to damage to your liver. Each time your liver is injured, it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to function. Decompensated cirrhosis is the term used to describe the development of specific complications resulting from the changes brought on by cirrhosis. Decompensated cirrhosis is life-threatening. The liver damage done by cirrhosis generally can't be undone. But if liver cirrhosis is diagnosed early and the cause is treated, further damage can be limited and, rarely, reversed."

"text": "How to Get Social Security Disability for Depression April 8, 2014 By Renee Borage Ever felt a little down in the dumps? Imagine if you felt that way all of the time: your passion gone, your desires muted, your zest for life whittled away to nothing. People suffering from clinical depression aren’t just having a lot of bad days; their condition is greater than that and is often combined with fatigue, despondency, hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of interest in life. In severe cases, people suffering from this crippling condition may be unable to work. However, due to the nature of the condition and the fact that it is not as clear-cut as some physical disorders, many people suffering from depression mistakenly believe that they will not qualify for disability benefits. That isn’t true. So if you are disabled and unable to work due to depression, read on to learn how to get Social Security disability for depression. How to Get Social Security Disability for Depression Within the Social Security Administration’s Impairment Listing Manual (also known as the Blue Book ), you’ll find that depression best fits under section 12.04, Affective Disorders. An affective disorder is “characterized by a disturbance of mood, accompanied by a full or partial manic or depressive syndrome. Mood refers to a prolonged emotion that colors the whole psychic life; it generally involves either depression or elation."

D. A. M. Back to Top Alternative Names Spinal tap; Ventricular puncture; Lumbar puncture; Cisternal puncture; Cerebrospinal fluid culture Back to Top How the Test Is Performed There are different ways to get a sample of CSF. Lumbar puncture, commonly called a spinal tap, is the most common method. The test is usually done like this: The patient lies on his or her side, with knees pulled up toward the chest, and chin tucked downward. Sometimes the test is done with the person sitting up, but bent forward. After the back is cleaned, the health care provider will inject a local numbing medicine (anesthetic) into the lower spine. A spinal needle is inserted, usually into the lower back area."

Share Email Print Feedback Approach Considerations If the patient is in shock or hypotensive, crystalloid should be infused until euvolemia is achieved. If the patient’s mental status is altered, seizure precautions should be considered, seizures should be treated according to the usual protocol, and airway protection should be considered. If the patient is alert and in stable condition with normal vital signs, oxygen should be administered, intravenous (IV) access established, and rapid transport to the emergency department (ED) initiated. Institution of an ED triage protocol may help identify patients at risk. In acute meningitis, regardless of presentation, a lumbar puncture (LP) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination are indicated to identify the causative organism and, in bacterial meningitis, the antibiotic sensitivities. Computed tomography (CT) of the head should be performed a before LP, if indicated. If no mass effect is present on head CT, LP is performed to obtain microbiology studies. The performance of radiographic imaging should not delay the initiation of empiric antimicrobial therapy; such therapy should be initiated before head CT if indicated. It is vital to begin treatment as early as possible in the disease course; delay may contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. In acutely ill patients, antibiotic therapy should be initiated promptly; in many of these cases, one should strongly consider giving adjunctive dexamethasone before the first antibiotic dose, or at least concomitantly with the dose.

"text": "\"11.1 Blood-brain Barrier Maintains the Constancy of the Brain's Internal Environment The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the neural tissue from variations in blood composition and toxins. Elsewhere in the body the extracellular concentrations of hormones, amino acids and potassium undergo frequent fluctuations, especially after meals, exercise or stressful times. Since many of these molecules regulate neuronal excitability, a similar change in the composition of interstitial fluid in the CNS can lead to uncontrolled brain activity. The endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier are highly specialized to allow precise control over the substances that enter or leave the brain. Discovery of blood-brain barrier. The discovery of the BBB dates back more than 100 years when, in the 1880s, Paul Ehrlich observed that intravenous administration of certain dyes (e.g. trypan blue) stained all organs except the brain and the spinal cord. He concluded that the dyes had a lower affinity for binding to the nervous system as compared to other tissues. In 1913, Edwin Goldman, an associate of Ehrlich, demonstrated the very same dyes, when directly injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), readily stained nervous tissue but not other tissues. The term “blood-brain barrier” was coined, however, by Lewandowsky in 1898, after he and his colleagues had performed experiments to demonstrate that neurotoxic agents affected brain function only when directly injected into the brain but not when injected into the vascular system. It took an additional 70 years until Reese and colleagues localized the barrier to the capillary endothelial cells within the brain by electron-microscopic studies."

"text": "Cerebrospinal Fluid Cerebrospinal fluid is an ultrafiltrate of plasma which circulates in the subarachnoid space, located between the pia and arachnoid membranes. It is largely produced by the choroid plexuses, while lesser amounts are produced by the ependymal cells lining the ventricles. The choroid plexus epithelium and associated capillary endothelium make up the blood-brain barrier and regulate the passage of substances into the CSF from blood. The arachnoid villi reabsorb the fluid. The function of the CSF includes cushioning and lubrication of the central nervous system, circulation of nutrients, and waste collection. Total CSF volume is 90-150 m L in adults and 10-60 ml in neonates. There is a constant turnover of about 14% of the volume per hour. About 300-500 m L of CSF are formed per 24 hours (0.35 m L per minute). CSF is obtained by lumbar puncture, with removal of fluid from the lumbar sac, located at the L3-4 or L4-5 interspace. At this level, the needle cannot injure the spinal cord, which in adults ends at L1."

"text": "Tuberculous meningitis I. What every physician needs to know. Tuberculous (TB) meningitis is a rare disease in developed countries and is often difficult to diagnose. The presentation is variable and patients often do not present with classic symptoms. While it is often described as a subacute meningitis with symptoms occurring over several weeks, patients often present with other symptoms. The diagnosis is difficult to establish and the clinician must have a high index of suspicion. Delay in diagnosis results in complications, and failure to establish the diagnosis results in death. In developed countries, TB meningitis is rare, and accounts for about 1% of all TB cases. It can occur following primary infection or as part of disseminated disease with reactivation of TB. In developing countries, TB meningitis most often occurs in children aged 0-4 years and follows primary infection. However, with the advent of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), TB meningitis is becoming much more common in adults, and may be the most common cause of meningitis in areas of the world with a high prevalence of HIV infection."

C.2.2.1.2]). Clinically, the patient presented with liver cirrhosis and hepatosplenomegaly during early infancy. In urine and plasma, elevated concentrations of ribitol, d -arabitol, and erythritol were found. By incubating the patient's lymphoblasts and erythrocytes with ribose-5-phosphate and subsequently analyzing phosphate sugar metabolites, we discovered a deficiency of transaldolase. Sequence analysis of the transaldolase gene from this patient showed a homozygous deletion of 3 bp. This deletion results in absence of serine at position 171 of the transaldolase protein. This amino acid is invariable between species and is located in a conserved region, indicating its importance for enzyme activity. The detection of this new inborn error of pentose metabolism has implications for the diagnostic workup of liver problems of unknown etiology. Previous article Next article Introduction Polyols, or polyhydric alcohols, are sugar-derived metabolites that are ubiquitous in humans. The origin, metabolic fate, and function of most of the polyols are unknown."

"text": "Blood-Brain Barrier Tight junctions present in the blood-brain barrier separate circulating blood from cerebrospinal fluid, regulating diffusion into the brain. Learning Objectives Describe the function of the blood-brain barrier Key Takeaways Key Points The blood – brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells restrict the passage of substances from the bloodstream to a greater extent than endothelial cells in capillaries elsewhere in the body. The BBB results from the selectivity of the tight junctions between endothelial cells in central nervous system (CNS) vessels that restrict the passage of solutes. Several areas of the human brain are not protected by the BBB, including the circumventricular organs. Tight junctions are composed of transmembrane proteins such as occludin and the claudins. The BBB effectively protects the brain from many common bacterial infections. However, since antibodies and antibiotics are too large to cross the BBB, infections of the brain that do occur are often difficult to treat. Key Termsastrocyte: A star-shaped neuroglial cell.claudins: This family of proteins is the most important component of tight junctions, where they establish the paracellular barrier that controls the flow of molecules in the intercellular space between the cells of an epithelium.blood-brain barrier: A structure in the CNS that keeps substances found in the bloodstream out of the brain while allowing in substances essential to metabolic function such asoxygen.occludin: A protein forming the main component of the tight junctions, along with the claudin group of proteins. Examples An exception to the bacterial exclusion are the diseases caused by spirochetes, such as Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease, and Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. These harmful bacteria seem to breach the BBB by physically tunneling through the blood vessel walls."

Primary infection by any of the eight viruses, usually occurring in childhood, is either asymptomatic or produces fever and rash of skin or mucous membranes; other organs might be involved on rare occasions. After primary infection, the virus becomes latent in ganglia or lymphoid tissue. With the exception of HHV-8, which causes Kaposi's sarcoma in patients with AIDS, reactivation of HHVs can produce one or more of the following complications: meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, vasculopathy, ganglioneuritis, retinal necrosis and optic neuritis. Disease can be monophasic, recurrent or chronic. Infection with each herpesvirus produces distinctive clinical features and imaging abnormalities. This Review highlights the patterns of neurological symptoms and signs, along with the typical imaging abnormalities, produced by each of the HHVs. Optimal virological studies of blood, cerebrospinal fluid and affected tissue for confirmation of diagnosis are discussed; this is particularly important because some HHV infections of the nervous system can be treated successfully with antiviral agents. Key points Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis predominantly involves the orbital surface of the frontal lobes and medial surface of the temporal lobes, resulting in areas of increased T2 signal on MRIHerpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) is the primary cause of recurrent meningitis After varicella, the varicella zoster virus (VZV) becomes latent in ganglia along the entire neuraxis; its reactivation can lead to herpes zoster, vasculopathy, myelitis, necrotizing retinitis or zoster sine herpete The neurological complications of Epstein–Barr virus are diverse, and include meningitis, encephalitis, myelitis, radiculoneuropathy, and even autonomic neuropathy The most common neurological complication of cytomegalovirus (CMV) is poly-radiculoneuropathy in immunocompromised individuals Virological confirmation of neurological disease relies on the detection of herpesvirus-specific DNA in bodily fluids or tissues, herpesvirus-specific Ig M in blood, or herpesvirus-specific Ig M or Ig G antibody in cerebrospinal fluid HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV and CMV are the most treatable herpesviruses Introduction Herpesviruses are large double-stranded DNA viruses. Approximately 130 different herpesviruses have been identified, not only in mammals, but also in frogs, lizards, birds, fish and mosquitoes."

"text": "\"Taurine supplement benefit and side effects, what is the right dosage? September 22 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. Taurine is a semi-essential sulphur containing amino acid derived from methionine and cysteine metabolism and present in virtually all cells throughout the animal kingdom. The amino acid was discovered more than two hundred years ago from animal sources. Taurine is distributed in both mammals and non-mammals and its content is high in several tissues. For more than a century-and-a-half, it was regarded just as an end product of sulfur metabolism. Recently, it has been rediscovered and its beneficial effects in processes like epilepsy, hypertension, congestive heart failure and diabetes have been tested. As an antioxidant, it may be helpful in neurodegenerative diseases and atherosclerosis. Mammals are able to synthesize taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), but humans are more dependent on dietary sources. This amino acid is found in higher amounts in electrically excitable tissues such as brain, retina, heart and skeletal muscles. In the central nervous system, taurine is involved in cell volume regulation and in inhibitory neuromodulation or neurotransmission."

Methodology: It is an observational study, conducted at the infectious diseases Unit, Rashid hospital Dubai (JCI accredited), United Arab Emirates, from Jan 2005 to Dec 2007. The admitted patients who fulfilled the criteria were included in the study. CT scan brain was done for almost all the patients before the lumber puncture. The CSF analysis was done on the first spinal tap and it included lactate, protein, glucose, cell count, Gram’s stain and culture. Other laboratory investigations including liver function test (LFTs), full blood count (FBC), blood sugar, blood culture, coagulation profile and urea electrolytes were also done for all the patients. Results: A total of 134 (86 bacterial and 48 viral) patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among the bacterial meningitis, 74.42% patients were found to be CSF Gram’s stain and/or culture positive for bacteria, whereas 25.58% were culture negative. Overall, blood culture was positive in nineteen (29.68%) and negative in forty five (70.31%) patients. In comparison to the viral, the CSF lactate, protein, cell count with predominant polymorphs as well as blood sugar and peripheral white cell count was significantly higher in the bacterial meningitis, p value <0.0001."

Brokeron Thu Feb 12 2009, 11:29AM VIEWA deed in lieu of foreclosure is the act of giving a property back to the lender without foreclosure. Basically, you sign title (ownership) over to the bank, and no longer own the home. Some consider this a \"\"better\"\" option than going into foreclosure because you are willingly giving them title as opposed to them taking it by legal force (which occurs in foreclosure). That is not to say this will not have a negative impact on your credit, the difference is you can avoid late payment history which is almost certain to occur in foreclosure instances. Regardless a deed in lieu, is still going to negatively impact your ability to purchase a new home for at least 12 months. Gina P. Freelance Mortgage / Finance Writer / Editoron Thu Feb 12 2009, 1:29PM VIEWWhen You're Losing Your Home You were a happy homeowner but your life took a wrong turn and now you're in financial trouble. With no way to pay your mortgage you try to find help. But you don't have enough income to refinance, and your lender declined to restructure your loan for the same reason. You can't sell your home for what you owe."

Or you may have heard about our FREE Property Fraud Alert and want to verify that your title is clear before signing up. Whatever your reason, this post will explain step-by-step how to look up your chain of title in our public database and review it for recordings that should not be there. Even though the deed was conveyed to you when you purchased the home, and was likely warranted to be free and clear of outstanding liens or claims at that time, there is nothing to prevent a scammer from filing a false claim on top of your legitimate deed after closing and finalization of the conveyance. This is because County Recorders are not authorized by law to verify the legal claims made in documents. Even if you paid off your mortgage and hold proof of such, fraudulent or misfiled claims or encumbrances can affect your ability to sell, refinance, or pass your home on to your heirs. In fact, the only way to know your title is clean is to regularly inspect your “chain of title,” or more easily, to sign up for our FREE Property Fraud Alert, which automates this process by checking our database each day and notifying you by phone or email whenever any document is recorded against your property’s 14-digit Property Index Number (PIN). Please note that the Recorder’s Office is not authorized to give legal advice, nor should this information be considered legal advice. Though we are happy to help you if you should suspect fraud, you should always consult an attorney before making decisions that could impact any ownership interest in the property."

"text": "\"Home Buying Foreclosures Learn How a Short Sale or a Foreclosure Affects Credit Share Flip Pin Email•••By Elizabeth Weintraub Updated September 10, 2017Sellers may wonder whether doing a short sale would affect their credit less than completing a foreclosure, and whether there are other advantages between the two. While in foreclosure, and depending on state laws, a seller could possibly stay in the property, essentially rent free, for four months to a year before being forced to vacate. But that fact alone does not mean a foreclosure is better. Whereas a short sale involves offering the home for sale, generally listed through MLS. Potential home buyers will make appointments to view the home, some will make lowball offers, agents might hold open houses and, in general, a seller's life will be disrupted, all in the hopes that a buyer will buy the home. Basics of a Short Sale Short sales happen when a lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed against the home or because there is not enough equity to sell and pay all costs of sale. Not all lenders will negotiate a short sale, and that is why a real estate agent or a lawyer can be a tremendous help by contacting the lender's loss mitigation department to find out. You can't just wake up one morning and decide you're going to sell your home at a loss by asking for a short sale. It used to be that lenders wouldn't even consider a short sale if your payments are current, but that has changed. However, realize that lenders will be more agreeable to negotiation if your payments are in arrears."

Dear Speaking of Credit, Is it possible to have a deed in lieu removed from a credit report after three years? -- Alonzo Dear Alonzo, As a result of the Great Recession of 2007-09, many homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure or one of the alternatives to foreclosure, such as deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale, loan modification or other tools for getting out from under a no-longer-affordable mortgage. And as with any situation in which a lender takes a loss on a loan, these consumers have paid an additional cost in the form of derogatory credit. Now with the passage of time and an improved economy, the homeownership itch has returned for many of these former homeowners, but this time with an additional concern: What to do about the derogatory credit still remaining from those bleak times? I don't blame you for asking if it's possible to have the deed in lieu removed from your credit report, as no doubt you're ready to move on and wouldn't it be nice if that black mark could simply be eliminated? Unfortunately, the reality is that the only legitimate way to get an accurately reported foreclosure, deed in lieu, short sale (typically reported as \"\"settled for less than full balance\"\") or other negative notation removed from your credit report is for the lender reporting it to instruct the credit bureau to strike it from your credit report as a \"\"goodwill\"\" gesture; not something that often happens."

"text": "Whether or not someone who files bankruptcy also needs to do a quitclaim deed or deed in lieu of foreclosure is a question that many bankruptcy attorneys and clients are asking themselves these days. A few years ago, most banks and mortgage companies (we will call them banks for this blog) foreclosed on a property – house or land – within three to four months of the bankruptcy filing. At the foreclosure sale, the bank would pay the property taxes on the house as well as any homeowner association liens on the property. For many people, that is now considered the “good ole’ days”. With the depressed economy and the increase in foreclosures, banks are taking considerably longer to foreclose on properties. There are statistics that indicate it is taking an average of six months for banks to foreclose in North Carolina; however, in some cases, it is taking two years or more for them to sell the house or land at foreclosure. If you want to continue living in the house until the bank forecloses, then that timeframe may be wonderful news! Unfortunately, if you have already moved out of the house, the lengthy foreclosure process can be both annoying and costly. Because of the lengthy process, bankruptcy clients are receiving notices of delinquent city/county taxes as well as membership association or HOA dues. ( For this blog, we will use the generic term of “HOA dues”."

I bought this property about two years ago at a below- market price and have done some significant rehab to it. I finally got it rented, but the rent doesn’t cover the mortgage. The house has been on the market for more than four months without any offers. I have had it priced about 10 percent below the recent appraised value and almost 20 percent below appraised value a year ago. I’m considering doing a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to the bank but I’m trying to minimize or eliminate any effect on my credit score, which is about a 750. The bank cannot tell me how my score may be affected but said that it would be negatively affected. They told me to call the credit agencies for more information. I called all credit reporting bureaus, and of them, was only able to speak to a live person at Trans Union. She offered no help other than stating that a computer figured all the scores on a variety of variables (which I already knew) and that no one there would be able to help me with any sort of estimate."

The Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Relief Act has finally run its course, and many homeowners will now be on the hook for short sale tax or foreclosure tax in 2014. Let’s start with the back story. Originally passed in 2007, the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Relief Act provided a tax exemption to homeowners when their mortgage company forgave debt though a short sale or foreclosure. Let’s say you had purchased a home for $400,000 and took out a mortgage for $300,000. Later, you short sold the home for $200,000 and your lender agreed to forgive the balance of $100,000. Instead of the IRS considering that forgiven $100,000 as income, Congress allowed homeowners to short sell or foreclose without having to pay the IRS for their canceled debt. In October 2008, due to the ongoing hardships suffered by the housing market, the act was extended through December 31, 2012. It was then extended once more by Congress through December 31, 2013. According to the LA Times, “as much as $2 million in forgiven debt for each household was exempted from federal taxes under the 2007 law."

We discussed a Foreclosure by Judicial Sale (also known as a Judicial Foreclosure), Strict Foreclosure, Foreclosure by Power of Sale, and Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. This page will be dedicated to speaking about Strict Foreclosure. However, we want to briefly reiterate the other types of foreclosure. Foreclosure by Judicial Sale (Judicial Foreclosure) - is the process of the bank (lender) launching the legal process to sell the borrower’s home under the supervision of the court because of the homeowner’s failure to comply with terms and conditions of the loan agreement (paying their monthly mortgage) signed by both parties upon purchase of the home. Foreclosure by Power of Sale (Non-Judicial Foreclosure) – Foreclosure by power of sale occurs when the borrower defaults on his/her loan and the lender, per terms of the contract, initiates the right to sell/auction the home without going through the judicial process. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure- When a borrower voluntary files for foreclosure on their home. The founding fathers of our country and other persons who helped develop the laws we follow in the United States based it upon our predecessor’s laws.

The equity purchaser needs the equity seller’s permission to resell the property to anyone else for so long as the equity seller has a right to buy the property back. Either (i) title to the property must eventually be reconveyed to the equity seller; or (ii) the equity purchaser must have paid seller at least 82% of the fair market value of the property within 120 days of the eviction or voluntary relinquishment by the equity seller."

Examples of significant derogatory credit events include bankruptcies, foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, preforeclosure sales, short sales, and charge-offs of mortgage accounts. Note: The terms “preforeclosure sale” and “short sale” are used interchangeably in this Guide and have the same meaning (see Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure, Preforeclosure Sale, and Charge-Off of a Mortgage Account below). The lender must determine the cause and significance of the derogatory information, verify that sufficient time has elapsed since the date of the last derogatory information, and confirm that the borrower has re-established an acceptable credit history. The lender must make the final decision about the acceptability of a borrower’s credit history when significant derogatory credit information exists. This topic describes the amount of time that must elapse (the “waiting period”) after a significant derogatory credit event before the borrower is eligible for a new loan salable to Fannie Mae. The waiting period commences on the completion, discharge, or dismissal date (as applicable) of the derogatory credit event and ends on the disbursement date of the new loan for manually underwritten loans. See B3-5.3-09, DU Credit Report Analysis , for additional information pertaining to DU loan casefiles, including how the waiting period is determined. Also see B3-5.3-08, Extenuating Circumstances for Derogatory Credit, for additional information.

"text": "Foreclosure – Short Sale – REO – Bank-Owned – What’s the difference?by Kevin Lisota on April 5, 2009 in Buying a Home Tweet With the struggling economy and real estate market, there are quite a few homes on the market that are in some form of “distress”. With a job loss or reduced income, distressed sellers may no longer be able to pay their mortgage, foreclosure may be imminent, or perhaps they owe more the the property is worth. For buyers, these situations can provide opportunities to get a property at an attractive price, but there is a jumble of industry terms and scenarios that can be confusing. Let’s take a look at each one. Pre-foreclosure – This is a generic term for a home where the owner has fallen behind on mortgage payments. The home may or may not be in the formal foreclosure process. It can take four or more months of late payments for the foreclosure process to begin. If you buy a home in this state, the seller will end up paying up the delinquent payments at closing, provided that there are enough proceeds from the sale. Short Sale – A short sale is a home being sold for less than the balance on the underlying mortgage. This happens when the value of a home has declined so much that a sale is no longer able to pay off the mortgage."

Brokeron Thu Feb 12 2009, 11:29AM VIEWA deed in lieu of foreclosure is the act of giving a property back to the lender without foreclosure. Basically, you sign title (ownership) over to the bank, and no longer own the home. Some consider this a \"\"better\"\" option than going into foreclosure because you are willingly giving them title as opposed to them taking it by legal force (which occurs in foreclosure). That is not to say this will not have a negative impact on your credit, the difference is you can avoid late payment history which is almost certain to occur in foreclosure instances. Regardless a deed in lieu, is still going to negatively impact your ability to purchase a new home for at least 12 months. Gina P.

If you are in foreclosure and have decided that the property is not worth keeping, you may have heard the term, cash for keys. It sounds catchy and clean. As the name implies, you hand the keys of the property to the mortgage lender and they give you money in return. Before deciding that this is the right option for you, there are a few things to consider. What is the process of cash for keys? First, check with your bank if they offer cash for keys and find out if you qualify. It is not required by law that all banks offer a cash for keys program, but many do. It is often in the bank’s favor to have a homeowner leave their home willingly instead of undergoing the entire foreclosure and eviction process."

"text": "\"When one spouse receives the marital home in a divorce decree, it does not automatically mean that the house is now hers. The decree gives her the right to own it. Extra steps are usually necessary to transfer title into her name alone. The most common way to achieve this is with a quitclaim deed, transferring one spouse's ownership interest in the property to the other. Nature of Deed Although a quitclaim deed transfers one individual’s interest in a property to someone else, it doesn't define what that interest is or make any promises that the interest even exists. For example, an individual can legally sign a quitclaim deed, ceding his interest in the White House to someone else. However, because he actually owns no interest in the White House, the person who receives his interest gets nothing. Quitclaim deeds are usually only appropriate in situations where one family member is transferring an interest in property to another family member. In divorce situations, the receiving spouse knows her ex has an interest to transfer, because they most likely bought the home together. Divorce is never easy, but we can help."

Whatever your reason, this post will explain step-by-step how to look up your chain of title in our public database and review it for recordings that should not be there. Even though the deed was conveyed to you when you purchased the home, and was likely warranted to be free and clear of outstanding liens or claims at that time, there is nothing to prevent a scammer from filing a false claim on top of your legitimate deed after closing and finalization of the conveyance. This is because County Recorders are not authorized by law to verify the legal claims made in documents. Even if you paid off your mortgage and hold proof of such, fraudulent or misfiled claims or encumbrances can affect your ability to sell, refinance, or pass your home on to your heirs. In fact, the only way to know your title is clean is to regularly inspect your “chain of title,” or more easily, to sign up for our FREE Property Fraud Alert, which automates this process by checking our database each day and notifying you by phone or email whenever any document is recorded against your property’s 14-digit Property Index Number (PIN).

"text": "When applying for a loan modification, short sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure (collectively referred to as forms of “loss mitigation”), one of the requirements in some cases will be for you to write a hardship letter. ( In other instances, you will just need to fill out a hardship affidavit.) The hardship letter is part of the loss mitigation application process and is something you must provide along with pay stubs, tax returns, a financial statement, bank statements, and the other information your lender will request. The hardship letter gives the lender a clear picture of your current financial situation and explains the circumstances that have led to your financial difficulties. What is a “Hardship”? A hardship is a circumstance that is beyond your control that has resulted in a situation where you can no longer afford to make your current mortgage payments. Hardships that quality for loss mitigation consideration include, for example: Job loss or a reduction in pay Illness of homeowner or family member Medical expenses Divorce or separation Adjustable interest rate reset Military service, and Natural disaster. What to Include in a Hardship Letter Many people make the mistake of spending very little time thinking about and drafting their hardship letter or, even worse, they simply copy a sample letter off the Internet. Since the loss mitigation representative who will review your file has most likely read literally hundreds of these letters, it is imperative that your letter be genuine. The best hardship letters don’t use a template or use templates only as a starting point but also include personal, honest information."

Originally passed in 2007, the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Relief Act provided a tax exemption to homeowners when their mortgage company forgave debt though a short sale or foreclosure. Let’s say you had purchased a home for $400,000 and took out a mortgage for $300,000. Later, you short sold the home for $200,000 and your lender agreed to forgive the balance of $100,000. Instead of the IRS considering that forgiven $100,000 as income, Congress allowed homeowners to short sell or foreclose without having to pay the IRS for their canceled debt. In October 2008, due to the ongoing hardships suffered by the housing market, the act was extended through December 31, 2012. It was then extended once more by Congress through December 31, 2013. According to the LA Times, “as much as $2 million in forgiven debt for each household was exempted from federal taxes under the 2007 law."

"text": "Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Attorney in Tampa Florida Many Florida residents have opted for a deed in lieu of foreclosure instead of modifying their loan or doing a short sale of their property. A Deed in lieu of foreclosure is a deed instrument in which a borrower conveys all interest in their property to the lender to satisfy a loan that is in default and avoid foreclosure proceedings. The principal advantage to the borrower is that it immediately releases him/her from most or all of the personal indebtedness associated with the defaulted loan. It also avoids the long and protracted process of going through foreclosure which often increases the amount of the deficiency due to attorneys fees incurred by the lender to prosecute the foreclosure. Just as in a short sale or loan modification, the lender must agree to a deed in lieu of foreclosure. If the lender agrees to accept a deed in lieu, the borrower will need to sign an Agreement with the lender to transfer all interest in the property in lieu of foreclosure as well as a deed for the property deeding it over to the lender. Once the Agreement is signed and the deed is executed, the lender will then mark the Note that secures the Mortgage as being paid. The lender will then provide the borrower with documentation that the mortgage debt is canceled and also waives the right of the lender to seek a deficiency balance of the difference between the original balance then due on the note and the amount the lender receives when the property is eventually sold. The executed paid Note, Agreement for deed in lieu, and warranty deed are then sent to a Title & Escrow company to process the transaction and record the deed transferring the legal interest in the property back to the lender. Once the transaction is consummated, the paid Note is then sent to the borrower releasing them from financial responsibility of the Note and Mortgage."

"text": "\"What happens after your home has been foreclosed on?by Moe Bedard| Sep 30, 2009| Mortgage Articles If you are going through the foreclosure process you are definitely not alone. These days are hard for many homeowners to pay their mortgage due to the economic crisis we are currently facing in the United States. It is important to remember that a foreclosure must go through a legal process and your mortgage lender must meet many requirements before proceeding. So because of this you may still have time before you will have to back your belongings and leave your home. To proceed with foreclosure your lender must complete the process which may take some time, I have actually seen it take a year or so on more than one occasion. You may think that your mortgage lender just wants to get their property back as soon as possible after you begin to default, but you are wrong. The lender usually seems to hesitate on the actual foreclosure because it would cost them a significant amount to do so. During the process the lender will be required to pay certain expenses that obtain to foreclosing on the property. This can easily cost the mortgage lender about ten thousand per month to do so. If the lender does choose to go forth with the foreclosure the chances are the home will lose a good amount of its current value."

Share Flip Pin Email•••By Elizabeth Weintraub Updated September 03, 2017\"\"For many years, my wife, Kathleen, and I have been pretty much ignoring the fact that we have an upside down house, and we don't know what to do with it. For that reason -- and because we don't want to ruin our credit rating -- we've been hanging on to our upside down house. However, my wife just lost her job, so we have to make a decision now and deal with this. What options are available to us? What should we do with our upside down house? \"\" When housing prices first began to decline in 2005, many homeowners rushed to dump an upside down house. But many more held on. These homeowners, like you, watched their home prices collapse and some, I bet, have felt like the last captain standing on a sinking ship. The good news is there are many options available to you."

"text": "When is a foreclosure not a foreclosure? Short sales often get lumped together with foreclosure and its offshoot, the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. But these aren’t the same thing, and that can make a huge difference for homebuyers. Borrowers will almost always need to wait two years after a foreclosure before applying for a VA home loan, but VA guidelines do not set a required wait, or seasoning period, after a short sale. Despite that, many lenders treat short sales as a form of foreclosure and impose that same two-year seasoning period. Veterans United doesn’t in most cases. We have no seasoning period after a short sale, as long as it’s clear you weren’t trying to take advantage of the market. That can obviously make a big difference for homeowners who’ve dealt with a distressed property. It’s also important to note that FHA homeowners who experience a short sale may not be able to move forward right away. Defaulting on federal debt can force would-be buyers to wait three years before being eligible for a VA-backed home loan."

My husband and I filed Ch 13 bk on Feb. 3, 2012. We chose to keep our home, but included the second home loan in the bankruptcy. We have made 13 payments into our 36 month re-payment plan, but even without the second, our home loan is about 90k more than our home is worth. We are considering contacting our attorney to see if we can motion to add our home to the bk. We did modify our loan prior to the bk, and we were late for about 9 months prior to the modification, but since the modification and filing the bk, we have remained current. If we are able to include our home at this point, and we choose to to a short sale or deed in lieu, how long do we have to wait before we qualify for a loan? My husband is a veteran, so we are eligible to use his VA benefit, and I did see that the wait time is 2 years, but when does that start? Because our bk is a ch 13, it isn’t set to discharge until Feb 2014, but if we were able to short sell our home this year (2013), our waiting period would begin on the date it transfers out of our name and the wait period for a VA loan after discharge is also 2 years, so the time would run concurrently? Is it possible to qualify for a loan during a ch 13 bk if we have permission from the trustee?"

How Soon Can I Finance a Home After a Deed in Lieu? Do You Get Any Money When You Use a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure? A deed in lieu stays on the credit report for up to seven years, the same as a foreclosure. Homeowners can use a deed in lieu of foreclosure as a method to avoid the generally harsher effects of actual foreclosure. Normally, it's also an easier way for a homeowner to give up all interest in his home. The deed is handed over to the lender, and the lender, in return, forgives the money still owed on the home loan. Eventually, the lender tries to sell the home and use the proceeds to recoup its losses. After Default When you default on your home loan, the result may eventually lead to a foreclosure and subsequent loss of your home. The sting of default, just from the hit it deals to a credit score, may also be significant."

"text": "General Information The presence of significant derogatory credit events dramatically increases the likelihood of a future default and represents a significantly higher level of default risk. Examples of significant derogatory credit events include bankruptcies, foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, preforeclosure sales, short sales, and charge-offs of mortgage accounts. Note: The terms “preforeclosure sale” and “short sale” are used interchangeably in this Guide and have the same meaning (see Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure, Preforeclosure Sale, and Charge-Off of a Mortgage Account below). The lender must determine the cause and significance of the derogatory information, verify that sufficient time has elapsed since the date of the last derogatory information, and confirm that the borrower has re-established an acceptable credit history. The lender must make the final decision about the acceptability of a borrower’s credit history when significant derogatory credit information exists. This topic describes the amount of time that must elapse (the “waiting period”) after a significant derogatory credit event before the borrower is eligible for a new loan salable to Fannie Mae. The waiting period commences on the completion, discharge, or dismissal date (as applicable) of the derogatory credit event and ends on the disbursement date of the new loan for manually underwritten loans. See B3-5.3-09, DU Credit Report Analysis , for additional information pertaining to DU loan casefiles, including how the waiting period is determined. Also see B3-5.3-08, Extenuating Circumstances for Derogatory Credit, for additional information.

A deed is commonly required for the transfer of land, as such a transfer can only be made in a specific manner prescribed by law. The deed is signed by the person transferring the land (the “ grantor ”), conveying the title and ownership of the land to another individual or entity (the “grantee”). Because a deed is the written instrument by which actual ownership of a property, it serves as proof of ownership. To explore this concept, consider the following deed definition. Definition of Deed Noun A signed and witnessed document transferring legal ownership of a piece of land, a building, or other property, to another person or entity. Verb The act of giving someone ownership of a piece of land, a building, or other property. Origin Before 900 A. D. Middle English dede What is a Deed A deed, referred to in ancient history as an “ evidence ,” is the legal term used to describe a legal written document that passes interest in, or ownership of, property. The deed then serves to confirm, or affirm, the owner’s right and interest in the property. A deed may be executed only by the party transferring ownership of the property to someone else, called a “unilateral” execution, or it may be executed by both parties to the transaction, called a “bilateral” execution."

The process involves placing a neurostimulator in the brain. This sends out electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. The impulses can block abnormal signals that can underlie a range of neurological conditions. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is commonly used to treat essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia, a movement disorder in which the muscles contract and spasm, and it has been studied as a possible treatment for Tourette syndrome and major depression .

"text": "Home › Centers of Excellence › Epilepsy and Movement Disorders Program ›What is responsive neurostimulation (RNS)? Responsive neurostimulation (RNS) is a breakthrough surgical approach to treating seizures that are not controlled by medication. The RNS neurostimulator is a device that is placed under the scalp and within the skull, and it is connected to 2 electrodes placed either on the surface of the brain, into the brain, or a combination of both. These electrodes continuously record brain waves and the neurostimulator is programmed to detect seizures. When a seizure or seizure-like activity is detected, the device delivers a small amount of electrical current to the brain to stop or shorten the seizure, or possibly even prevent the seizure altogether. Who should get RNS? The RNS system is used to treat adult patients with partial onset epilepsy who have failed treatment with at least 2 seizure medications. Our approach is always first to determine whether patients are candidates for resection of their seizure focus, the only cure for epilepsy. Patients are considered candidates for RNS, however, when they have undergone comprehensive diagnostic testing that has localized one or two seizure foci, but are determined not to be candidates for surgical resection for a particular reason. These reasons include seizures that originate from more than one area of the brain, seizures that arise from areas of the brain that cannot be resected without causing a deficit, or seizures that are difficult to discretely localize."

Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the brain. Protected within the skull, the brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. Concussion A concussion is a mild brain injury caused by a blow to the head. Common in falls, sports, and car crashes, concussions temporarily affect the brain causing confusion and problems with memory, speech, vision, or balance. The person may appear fine at first, but show symptoms hours or days later. If untreated, repeated concussions can have severe outcomes. The best treatment is time and rest to allow the brain to heal. Traumatic brain injury Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is sudden damage to the brain caused by a blow to the head.

Also, I would like to hear about other person's experiences with these systems. The first week of January 2011, I met with the representative from Medtronics to discuss and learn more about their neuro-stimulator system. After a 3-1/2 hour discussion, I felt that I had all the information that I needed to make a decision about going forward with the trial. Of course, after we parted I found that I had many more questions. This is when I turned to the web to search for my answers. I spent the next 6 months going from doctor to doctor, going through all the steps necessary to even go through the trial of the neuro-stimulator. That would include the 1) initial visit with the doctor that would do the trial, 2) MRIs of thorasic and lumbar spine, 3) visit w/doctor that would do the surgery for the final implant of the system, 4) meet w/phycologist that would do a phycological evaluation; required by most insurance companies as part of this process, 5) visit again w/initial doctor to discuss findings from 1-4 above; then discuss whether or not to move forward to do the trial of the system. There is really no reason for it to take 6 months for all this to happen; except for my own hesitancy to start the process. I wanted to ask more questions, do more research and make up my mind as to whether or not I actually wanted to have this system implanted in my body."

"text": "Neurostimulation Therapy Treatment Neurostimulation therapy treatment, also called spinal cord stimulation, is the safe delivery of low voltage electricity to the dorsal column or peripheral nerves. The implantable stimulator device inhibits pain signals before they reach the brain and replaces them with a soothing, tingling sensation (called paresthesia) that covers the specific area where pain is felt. Neurostimulation therapy is an implantable, reversible system that allows patients to control their level stimulation with a handheld device. Neurostimulation therapy is a simple outpatient procedure and is first done on a trial basis, where a patient tries the device for three to seven days to see if they are happy with the results. If the device successfully reduces their pain, the neurostimulator is implanted permanently and can be removed at any time with no harm. Advanced Pain Management offers various neurostimulation therapy devices, including Boston Scientific, Medtronic, Nevro and St. Jude. View an Interactive Animation of the Neurostimulation Therapy Procedure Benefits of Neurostimulation Therapy Treatment: Replaces pain signals with a soothing, tingling sensation (paresthesia)Reversible trial is completed for three to seven days to determine effectiveness of therapy Outpatient procedure with little recovery time Ability to sit, walk and stand for longer periods Reversible system can be removed at any time Reduces need for oral medications Patient-controlled programming allows for customized pain relief New Advances in Neurostimulation Technology Nevro HF10 Therapy Nevro’s new stimulator device has been found to be even more effective than traditional SCS for the treatment of back and leg pain. This state-of-the-art therapy provides pain relief without paresthesia, the tingling/buzzing sensation that previous devices utilize. It’s also free of unexpected shocks and can be used while driving and sleeping. Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation In 2016, Advanced Pain Management became the first company in Wisconsin to begin offering a new type of neurostimulator therapy device called a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulator."

"text": "\"Epilepsy Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal activity of nerve cells, called neurons, in the brain. In the United States, about 2 million people have epilepsy and as many as 150,000 more develop the condition each year. About a third of them are children. Epilepsy has many possible causes, such as an imbalance of nerve-signaling chemicals, called neurotransmitters, or abnormal nerve connections that form after an injury such as head trauma or stroke. Other types of epilepsy run in families and have been tied to specific genes. Often, it may be difficult to understand why a specific person develops epilepsy, but this does not mean that effective treatment is impossible. The Epilepsy Center at UCSF Medical Center provides diagnostic and treatment services that have earned us a level four rating — the highest level available — from the National Association of Epilepsy Centers. We specialize in providing comprehensive care for all types of epilepsy, including epilepsy that has not responded to treatment, called medically refractory epilepsy. The center's neurodiagnostic program uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) to provide images of the brain, as well as electrical studies such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) to record brain waves."

During a TMS procedure, a magnetic field generator, or \"\"coil\"\", is placed near the head of the person receiving the treatment. [ 1]: 3 The coil is connected to a pulse generator, or stimulator, that delivers a changing electric current to the coil.

[ 3]Evidence suggests it is useful for neuropathic pain [4] and treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. [ 4] [5] A 2015 Cochrane review found that there was not enough evidence to determine its effectiveness in treating schizophrenia. [ 6] For negative symptoms another review found possible efficacy.

Spinal cord stimulators are devices that deliver low-level electrical stimulation to block pain signals. They’re considered the “pacemakers for pain.” And, although the stimulator may not provide pain relief in all cases, previous literature has demonstrated that approximately one-half of all patients who use a trial spinal cord stimulator report significant pain relief. Over 70% of patients who used an implanted spinal cord stimulator for neuropathic pain reported pain relief benefits. Spinal cord stimulation is reversible, safe, and effective. It can manage specific types of chronic pain that has not responded to other treatment modalities, such a medications, steroid injections, or physical therapy. Intractable pain, chiefly from neuropathic origins, responds favorably to spinal cord stimulation. Lesions on the central or peripheral nervous system can cause dysfunction and result in chronic neuropathic pain."

The amplitude of an intention tremor increases as an extremity approaches the endpoint of deliberate and visually guided movement (hence the name intention tremor). An intention tremor is usually perpendicular to the direction of movement. When experiencing an intention tremor, one often overshoots or undershoots their target, a condition known as dysmetria. [ 1] [2] Intention tremor is the result of dysfunction of the cerebellum, particularly on the same side as the tremor in the lateral zone, which controls visually guided movements. Depending on the location of cerebellar damage, these tremors can be either unilateral or bilateral. [ 1]A variety of causes have been discovered to date, including damage or degradation of the cerebellum due to neurodegenerative diseases, trauma, tumor, stroke, or toxicity. There is currently no established pharmacological treatment; however, some success has been seen using treatments designed for essential tremors.

"text": "Home > Health Library Deep Brain Stimulation<< Back to Neurological Tests and Procedures What is deep brain stimulation? Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a type of therapy that uses electrical stimulation to treat Parkinson’s disease (PD), essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, and certain other neurological conditions. DBS can be effective in treating movement problems such as tremors, stiffness, difficulty in walking, and slowed movement. Doctors may use DBS when medications have become less effective and/or when side effects of the medications interfere with daily activities. DBS does not cure PD or other conditions, but it can ease symptoms and decrease the amount of medications you need to treat the symptoms, thus improving your quality of life. How does DBS work? Movement-related symptoms of PD and other neurological conditions are caused by faulty electrical signals in the areas of the brain that control movement. Unlike earlier surgical procedures that destroyed brain tissue in order to eliminate the faulty signals, DBS does not damage brain tissue. Instead, it blocks the faulty signals that cause tremors and other movement symptoms. In DBS, a lead, or electrode, is placed inside the brain."

"text": "FAQ: Neuro Pace Responsive Neurostimulation for Epilepsy About one-third of patients with epilepsy have seizures that are poorly controlled with medications alone. UCSF is one of the few centers in the nation offering a revolutionary technology for treating adults with medication-resistant epilepsy. In this new approach, a small, battery-powered device (called a Neurostimulator) is surgically implanted in the skull. Wires (called leads) that are connected to the Neurostimulator are placed on the surface and/or inside the brain. The Neurostimulator monitors the electrical activity of the brain and detects abnormal activity that could lead to a seizure. When abnormal activity is detected, the Neurostimulator delivers electrical stimulation to the brain through the leads to prevent seizures. The system is analogous to cardiac pacemakers that detect abnormal heart rhythms and respond by delivering electrical stimulation. For certain patients, using an implanted Neurostimulator to treat seizures can be more effective than medications, and, because no brain tissue is removed, can involve less risk than other surgical options. RNS represents an exciting and much-needed therapeutic option for patients with seizures that arise from more than one brain region and/or from brain regions that cannot be removed surgically.

We will first discuss the various reflexes used in clinical practice and will conclude the chapter with a discussion of the significance of the findings. In some situations, reflexes may be the major part of the examination (e.g., the comatose patient). They have the value of requiring minimal cooperation on the part of the patient and of producing a response that can be objectively evaluated by the examiner. A list of all possible reflexes would be almost endless and a tangle of eponymic jargon for those with an historical bent. It is necessary to know the most commonly elicited reflexes and this knowledge is not terribly difficult to acquire. However, the interpretation of the reflex response requires some discussion. Table 8-1 is a list of many reflexes, some of them in common clinical use (and some less common). As a group, these reflexes can aid in evaluation of most of the segmental levels of the nervous system from the cerebral hemisphere through the spinal cord. In this chapter we will discuss the evaluation of commonly tested reflexes of the spinal cord."

September 22, 1995Dear Cecil: Why is it when a doctor gives you a physical examination, he taps your knee with a rubber hammer? My knee always jerks when he does this, and the same goes for everyone I have ever spoken to. Which makes me wonder if anyone has ever failed it, and what became of them. Does the medical community just go on looking, looking, hoping to find a person who fails the test? Or is there actually some hideous disease which has as one of its early symptoms that your knees do not jerk when struck? Bill Kinnersley, via the Internet Illustration by Slug Signorino Cecil replies: When I consulted the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board about this, one member informed me that if no knee-jerk reflex can be elicited, “this is one of the diagnostic signs that the patient is dead.” Ho ho! But of course there’s more to it than that. The actual purpose of knee tapping is to test for pathological conditions that, while not common, are far from nonexistent."

Each spindle consists of intrafusal fibers, sensory nerve endings, and gamma motor neuron endings. They are responsible for conveying information to the central nervous system about the absolute muscle length and changes in muscle length. Spindles play an important role in motor control and are used to help regulate muscle length during movement. ANATOMY: Figure 1. The muscle spindle is a proprioceptor located deep within the muscle parallel to the extrafusal muscle fibers. It is encapsulated in connective tissue and located directly inside the muscle interwoven between the intrafusal fibers. Each spindle is divided into three regions; equatorial (middle), juxta-equatorial, and polar ends (where the contractile mechanisms are located).

"text": "\"reflex (redirected from rectosphincteric reflex) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia .reflex [ re´fleks] a reflected action or movement; the sum total of any particular automatic response mediated by thenervous system. A reflex is built into the nervous system and does not need the intervention of conscious thought to take effect. The knee jerk is an example of the simplest type of reflex. When the knee is tapped, the nerve thatreceives this stimulus sends an impulse to the spinal cord, where it is relayed to a motor nerve. Thiscauses the quadriceps muscle at the front of the thigh to contract and jerk the leg up. This reflex, or simple reflex arc, involves only two nerves and one synapse. The leg begins to jerk up while thebrain is just becoming aware of the tap. Other simple reflexes, the stretch reflexes, help the body maintain its balance. Every time a muscle is stretched, it reacts with a reflex impulse to contract. As a person reaches or leans, the skeletalmuscles tense and tighten, tending to hold him and keep him from falling."

It's because of your reflex. What's a Reflex? A reflex is an involuntary (say: in-VAHL-un-ter-ee), or automatic, action that your body does in response to something — without you even having to think about it. You don't decide to kick your leg, it just kicks. There are many types of reflexes and every healthy person has them. In fact, we're born with most of them.

Muscles of the hip and thigh | Main Anatomy Index | Muscles of the leg Last updated 30 March 2006The Knee Joint This is a hinge type of synovial joint that permits some rotation. Its structure is complicated because it consists of three articulations : an intermediate one between the patella and femur and lateral and medial ones between the femoral and tibial condyles. Articular Surfaces of the Knee Joint The bones involved are the femur, tibia, and patella. The articular surfaces are the large curved condyles of the femur, the flattened condyles of the tibia, and the facets of the patella. The knee joint is relatively weak mechanically because of the configurations of its articular surfaces. It relies on the ligaments that bind the femur to the tibia for strength. On the superior surface of each tibial condyle, there is an articular area for the corresponding femoral condyle. These areas, commonly referred to as the medial and lateral tibial plateaux , are separated from each other by a narrow, nonarticular area, which widens anteriorly and posteriorly into anterior and posterior intercondylar areas, respectively."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Human Anatomy and Physiology Muscular System What is the Reflex that causes reciprocal activation of antagonist muscle? Flag What is the Reflex that causes reciprocal activation of antagonist muscle? Answer by Justin Agpaoa- Golgi tendon reflex - When there is too much tension on a muscle, the afferent sensory nerves send the information to the spinal cord which sends its information to the cerebellum where the information is used to adjust muscle tension. Simultaneously, the motor neurons of the spinal cord that innervates the contracting muscle are inhibited and the antagonistic muscles are activated. I believe (but am not certain sure) the term you're looking for is \"\"deep tendon reflex\"\" (aka \"\"monosynaptic reflex\"\"). When a muscle's tendon is suddenly stretched, receptors within the tendon send signals to cause the muscle contract, so it opposes the stretch. This is the reflex that's tested when you tap just below your knee and your foot swings out (a knee-jerk reaction :-) See Glossary of Terms in Spinal Cord Injury Research [sci.rutgers.edu/dynarticles/Care Cure Glossary_20Jun02.doc ]1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

When a bright light is directed towards his eyes he has a definite response, which consists of blinking and avoiding the light.

( May 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)The stretch reflex ( myotatic reflex) is a muscle contraction in response to stretching within the muscle. It is a monosynaptic reflex which provides automatic regulation of skeletal muscle length. When a muscle lengthens, the muscle spindle is stretched and its nerve activity increases. This increases alpha motor neuron activity, causing the muscle fibers to contract and thus resist the stretching. A secondary set of neurons also causes the opposing muscle to relax. The reflex functions to maintain the muscle at a constant length. Gamma motoneurons regulate how sensitive the stretch reflex is by tightening or relaxing the fibers within the spindle. There are several theories as to what may trigger gamma motoneurons to increase the reflex's sensitivity."

EGR was the technology that most manufacturers used to meet the first rounds of emissions regulations in 2004 and 2007. In an EGR system, exhaust gas is cooled and recycled back through the engine. The combustion temperature in the cylinder is reduced, thus lowering NOx production. However, the cooler combustion produces more particulate matter due to the less efficient operating temperature. Also, the engine is not operating at its optimal combustion temperature, consequently reducing fuel efficiency and engine power. The advantages of an SCR system is that it allows the engine to operate at higher temperatures in order to optimize performance, meanwhile reducing NOx levels. What are the disadvantages of SCR? The disadvantages of SCR are mainly logistical."

"text": "\"Don't Forget to Factor DEF into Fuel Costs August 2011, Trucking Info.com - Featureby Tom Berg, Senior Editor, Senior Contributing Editor - Also by this author SHARING TOOLS | Print Subscribe 2010-model diesels are running well and turning in better fuel economy than their EPA-'07-spec predecessors, according to reports we've heard at industry meetings and in conversations with fleet managers. Most truck operators who've bought engines whose exhausts are equipped with selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment systems say that fuel economy is at least as good as what manufacturers claim and in some cases is better. What about the diesel exhaust fluid that's needed for this process? Spraying DEF into the exhaust to chemically neutralize oxides of nitrogen, or NOx, is the major action of the SCR used by almost all diesel builders. Like fuel, DEF is consumed in everyday running and should be accounted for in any economy reports or claims. Navistar International, the one engine maker that does not use SCR, coined the term \"\"fluid economy\"\" to mean the total of DEF and fuel consumed in a given number of miles traveled. If DEF is figured in, Navistar executives claim, their fuel-only engines come out as good or better than competitors'. So, how much DEF is being used? For over-the-road operations, manufacturers employing SCR predict DEF \"\"dosing rates\"\" of 2 to 3 percent. That means 2 to 3 gallons are consumed for every 100 gallons of diesel fuel, and 102-103 gallons of fluid should be factored into a mile-per-gallon calculation."

"text": "Q. Why SCR? A. SCR is one of the few methods approved by the EPA to comply with US Regulation 2241. SCR is a cost effective method of meeting NOx requirements, and the infrastructure to support SCR is already in place. DEF, the only solution needed to make SCR work, is available at various retail and whole sale locations. It can be delivered in various quantities and is less expensive than other NOx reduction systems. Q. How does the SCR system work? A. SCR is the treatment of diesel exhaust that is implicated before the catalytic converter. An SCR system sprays a fine mist of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) upstream of the catalytic converter where it gets vaporized and the decomposes to become ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia is the key element to that aides the SCR catalyst in converting the NOx to harmless nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) bi products. The reduction efficiency of the SCR system is 90% or more."

The Chevrolet Cruze 2.0TD is your basic, well-made compact sedan that comes with a diesel engine. The Cruze turbodiesel gets 50 mpg on the highway and that translates to 700 miles between fill-ups. A 12,000 miles-a-year Cruze diesel might wind up refueling twice a month instead of three times with a gas engine. That’s a dozen fewer times that you get that diesel smell on your hands every year! Combine that fact with a decent interior and good build quality, and you’ve got a reasonable ride for $25,000. Don’t be scared off by the engine: the Cruze 2.0TD still has a bit of diesel clatter (engine noise especially at low speed before the engine is warm). That’s more than on a good German car, but a lot less than on any diesel of a generation ago if you’re counting. THe Cruze produces less smoke and soot, too. Inside the Cruze, at highway speeds, you won’t even know it’s a diesel."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Earth Sciences Atmospheric Sciences Meteorology and Weather What is the weight of one gallon of air? Flag What is the weight of one gallon of air? Answer by Schnazola Confidence votes 14.5KWeight of Air Air at sea level weighs about 1.2 kg per cubic meter. You can find that using the ideal gas law p V=m RT where p is pressure V is volume m is mass of gas R is the gas constant for air = universal gas constant/average molecular mass of air T is the temperature in absolute units. All of those are better in metric units, so p is in pascals, V is in cubic meters, m is in kilograms, T is in kelvins, and R is 8314/28.8 = 288 N-m/kg-K. At sea level, standard pressure is 101325 Pa, temperature is about 20 deg C or 293 K. For a volume of 1 cubic meter, m/V = p/RT = 101325 / (288 * 293) = 1.201 kilograms per cubic meter. Since you wanted to know gallons, 264.2 gallons is 1 cubic meter, and 2.204 lb in one kg, so 1.201 kg/m^3 * (1 m^3/264.2 gal) * (2.204 lb/kg) = 0.0100 lb/gal. Not a heckuva lot, but not zero. One thing to notice is that if you put a gallon of air on a scale, (in a wieghtless container, of course) you would measure zero, exactly. That's because the buoyancy caused by the surrounding air exactly counteracts the weight of the air in the container. If you pressurized the air in your gallon container to, say ten times the outside pressure (or 147.0 psi absolute, or 132.3 psi gauge) it would now weigh nine times 0.01, or 0.09 lb."

The NOX reduction process starts with an engine burning clean Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and producing exhaust that is already much cleaner due to leaner and more complete combustion. Under the control of the vehicle’s onboard computer, precisely metered spray patterns of DEF are injected into the exhaust stream ahead of the SCR converter allowing the exhaust gases and atomized mist of DEF to enter the converter simultaneously."

"text": "\"The term defamation of character is often used to describe accusations of slander, libel or both. Slander involves verbal derogatory statements, while libel involves written ones. In a court of law, the plaintiff pursuing the lawsuit would charge defamation of character to cover any form of false or damaging allegations. Defamation of character is notoriously difficult to prove in court, although the actual effects can be quite evident and damaging. If a disgruntled customer of a restaurant tells numerous people that the head chef has AIDS, for example, sales for that restaurant could fall and the employee might lose his job or find it difficult to work. Because the customer's slanderous statement concerns a specific person and an unproven accusation, the chef may have a legitimate case of defamation of character. The main problem with proving defamation of character is the protection of free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. Courts generally agree that an opinion, no matter how malicious, is not the same as a stated fact. If the disgruntled customer had said \"\"Don't eat at Joe's Cafe. I think the food is lousy and the chef is sick,\"\" then defamation of character would be difficult to prove."

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.

Statements that are made in anger or malice, which are untrue, are commonly viewed as slander. To explore this concept, consider the following slander definition. Definition of Slander Noun. A false and malicious statement spoken about another person Noun. Defamation by verbal statement, as opposed to defamation in writing. Verb. To utter or speak slander against another person Origin: 1250-1300 Middle English (sc) laundre < Late Latin scandalum (cause of offense)What is Slander Slander is just one form of defaming someone’s character."

"text": "\"Libel vs. Slander Share What is the difference between libel and slander? Libel and slander are both forms of defamation. Defamation is a common law tort, governed by state law, in which an individual makes a \"\"publication\"\" of a defamatory statement of and concerning the plaintiff that damages the reputation of the plaintiff. The distinction between slander and libel comes in the form of the publication. Slander involves the oral \"\"publication\"\" of a defamatory remark that is heard by another, which injures the subject's reputation or character. Slander can occur through the use of a hand gesture or verbal communication that is not recorded. Libel, on the other hand, is the written \"\"publication\"\" of a defamatory remark that has the tendency to injure another's reputation or character. Libel also includes a publication on radio, audio or video. Even though this would be considered oral, or verbal, communication to someone it is actually considered to be libel because it is published in a transfixed form. What are the elements of a cause of action for libel or slander?"

"text": "\"What is Defamation? Do I have a case? We can answer all your questions about defamation, but sometimes if you have a general understanding of the law, you can ask better questions about the facts of your case. Some attorneys think a defamation action is like a personal injury case, but the proof necessary for a defamation action is very different. As a nation, we put such a value on free speech that the burden is high to prove defamation. Defamation is the inclusive term, including both slander and libel. In other words libel and slander are both defamation, but libel is printed and slander is spoken. Defamation occurs when someone makes a false, unprivileged statement about someone to a third party, which attacks the person's professional character or standing, claims that an unmarried person is unchaste, claims the person has a sexually transmitted disease, or that the person has committed a crime of moral turpitude. Stated another way, to constitute defamation the statement must falsely accuse the plaintiff of immoral, illegal or unethical conduct. Generally, the statement must harm the reputation of the person, but in the case of per se defamation, damages will be presumed."

"text": "\"Defamation Law: The Basics There is always a delicate balance between one person's right to freedom of speech and another's right to protect their good name. It is often difficult to know which personal remarks are proper and which run afoul of defamation law. The term \"\"defamation\"\" is an all-encompassing term that covers any statement that hurts someone's reputation. If the statement is made in writing and published, the defamation is called \"\" libel .\"\" If the hurtful statement is spoken, the statement is \"\"slander.\"\" The government can't imprison someone for making a defamatory statement since it is not a crime. Instead, defamation is considered to be a civil wrong, or a tort. A person that has suffered a defamatory statement may sue the person that made the statement under defamation law. Defamation law, for as long as it has been in existence in the United States, has had to walk a fine line between the right to freedom of speech and the right of a person to avoid defamation. On one hand, people should be free to talk about their experiences in a truthful manner without fear of a lawsuit if they say something mean, but true, about someone else."

"text": "\"In essence, a defamation claim can arise when one person says something damaging about another person. However, if a plaintiff could successfully sue every time his or her feelings got hurt, there would be more defamation cases than the legal system could handle. For this and other reasons, defamation is a complex kind of tort (civil injury). This article discusses the key legal concepts of defamation law, different types of defamation - libel vs. slander - and their essential elements. Why Defamation is Complex: Harm to Reputation and Free Speech The essential harm alleged in a defamation claim is \"\"damage to the plaintiff's reputation in the community.\"\" Because reputation is such an intangible thing, and because of the tendency of some people to react strongly to perceived insults, defamation has evolved -- over centuries of legal decisions -- into a complex concept filled with safeguards and requirements that are designed to weed out weak claims. The right to free speech only adds to the complexity. It may be a common misconception that anyone can say whatever they want (other than shouting \"\"fire\"\" in a crowded theater), but the right to free speech is not an absolute right in all situations. Serious damage to a plaintiff’s reputation can cause real harm to a person's livelihood and well-being, therefore the rules of defamation try to balance protection of reputation with the constitutional rules of freedom of speech. See this article on the issue of Defamation vs. First Amendment Rights."

"text": "Each year, CBO provides the Congress with several hundred formal cost estimates that analyze the likely effects of proposed legislation on the federal budget. The estimates are posted on CBO’s website in chronological order, and they are searchable by bill number, title, committee, and program area; each generally includes a description of the legislation, a statement about its estimated budgetary impact, and an explanation of the basis for that estimate. CBO’s analysts also provide Congressional staff with thousands of informal estimates each year, generally to help staff draft proposals early in the legislative process or to indicate the budgetary impact of proposed amendments to pending legislation. A printer-friendly version of the faqs is available. Why does CBO prepare cost estimates? Section 402 of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which established the agency, directs CBO to estimate the costs of bills and resolutions approved by Congressional committees other than the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Such cost estimates are intended to ensure that when the House and Senate consider legislation recommended by committees, Members have information about the budgetary consequences of enacting that legislation that can be used to enforce budgetary rules or targets. What information is included in a formal estimate? Cost estimates show how federal outlays and revenues would change if legislation was enacted and fully implemented as proposed—compared with what future spending and revenues would be under current law. Each estimate also includes a statement about the costs of any new federal mandates that the legislation would impose on state, local, or tribal governments or on the private sector."

The paper measures the total government benefits and services received by unlawful immigrant households and the total taxes paid. The difference between benefits received and taxes paid represents the total resources transferred by government on behalf of unlawful immigrants from the rest of society. Key Takeaways There are approximately 3.7 million unlawful immigrant households in the U. S. These households impose a net fiscal burden of around $54.5 billion per year. Amnesty for unlawful immigrants can pose large fiscal costs for U. S. taxpayers including public education, welfare benefits, and other benefits and services. Policymakers must ensure that the interaction of welfare and other financial transfer programs with immigration does not expand the fiscally dependent population.

What happened in 2001 to turn all those surpluses into deficits and is still being compounded everyday? Bush hadn’t started his war in Iraq that he refused to pay for; Medicare Part D – which was not paid for – had not been passed; significant amounts had not been spent on homeland security. In 2001 the gop Congress waived the Pay-Go rules and passed the first of Baby Bush’s irresponsible tax cuts. In 2002 they let the Pay-Go rules expire."

This article examines the trust fund reserves and cash flows and their interrelationships with the Treasury's cash management operations and the budget of the rest of the federal government. Although some observers view the trust fund reserves and interest income as accounting fictions, a careful tracing of the cash flows reveals that the reserves and their interest earnings are, for all practical purposes, as real as those of any bank account. In addition, an examination of the long-term constraints facing the trust funds and the federal budget clarifies that under the Social Security system's self-financing framework, an improvement in trust fund finances will not relieve the accumulated debt commitments of the rest of the federal government. David Pattison is an economist with the Office of Economic Analysis and Comparative Studies, Office of Research, Evaluation, and Statistics, Office of Retirement and Disability Policy, Social Security Administration.

[ 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."

Every time a politician says we have to do with the nation's finances what a prudent householder would do with a credit card bill, you can stop listening. It's nonsense. There are many reasons for this, but here are two important ones. The first reason why the chancellor is not like you or me with a big credit card bill A householder can take decisions about how much to spend, how much debt to take on and how fast to pay it back without it having any effect on their wages. But this is simply not true for a nation. If a country spends less, then it also has an effect on its tax income. This can even cancel out the cut.

"text": "Does Government Debt Matter? Tejvan Pettinger January 31, 2017 debt, economics Readers Question: Does Government debt matter? Do high fiscal deficits threaten economic stability? Summary Many worry that high levels of government debt could cause economic instability. In certain occasions, countries with high debt have seen investors lose confidence, leading to higher bond yields and putting pressure on the government to slash spending, for example, several countries in the Eurozone (2010-12). In rare cases, governments with high debt have responded by printing money – causing inflation to spiral out of control, for example, Germany in the 1920s. Another potential problem is when government debt is financed by overseas borrowing. If overseas investors lose confidence and sell their debt it can cause a loss of foreign exchange and a destabilising devaluation. However, in many cases, high levels of government debt do not cause instability – but can actually prevent a deeper recession. The main argument for government borrowing is that in a recession, government borrowing and government spending can help prevent a collapse in demand and economic growth."

"text": "\"Previous Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management Next Section 4Budget Execution For fiscal economists, the key issues on budget execution are always whether deficit targets are likely to be met, and whether any budget adjustments (both on the revenue and expenditure sides) agreed at the preparation stage (or in-year) are being implemented as planned. On the expenditure side of the budget, the key issues are whether the outturn is likely to be within the budget figure; whether any changes in expenditure priorities (as against past patterns) are being implemented in specific areas as planned; and whether any problems are being encountered in budget execution, such as the buildup of payment arrears. Fiscal economists therefore need to fully understand any weaknesses in the country's budget execution process. Is it transparent? Are there clear lines of accountability? Is information on execution of the budget available on a timely, reliable, and accurate basis? Is it thus consistent with the principles of good governance? Based on this understanding, where are problems likely to arise, and how might they be avoided or overcome? In some instances, action may be needed through budget execution procedures to bring expenditures back on track to the budget provision; hold expenditures below budget, in response to below-target revenue developments; or bring irregularities to the attention of the decision makers. Thus, for fiscal economists and general budget advisors, the key questions are: What are the different stages of the budget execution process?"

By contrast, the annual \"\" government deficit \"\" refers to the difference between government receipts and spending in a single year. Government debt can be categorized as internal debt (owed to lenders within the country) and external debt (owed to foreign lenders). Another common division of government debt is by duration until repayment is due. Short term debt is generally considered to be for one year or less, long term is for more than ten years. Medium term debt falls between these two boundaries. A broader definition of government debt may consider all government liabilities, including future pension payments and payments for goods and services which the government has contracted but not yet paid. Governments create debt by issuing securities, government bonds and bills. Less creditworthy countries sometimes borrow directly from a supranational organization (e.g. the World Bank) or international financial institutions. In a monetarily sovereign country (such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom and most other countries, in contrast with eurozone countries), government debt held in the home currency are merely savings accounts held at her central bank."

Monetary policy can lose its effectiveness whereas fiscal policy can become supereffective. In addition, fixed exchange rates offer another policy option, namely, exchange rate policy. Even though a fixed exchange rate should mean the country keeps the rate fixed, sometimes countries periodically change their fixed rate. This chapter considers these policies under the assumptions of the AA-DD model. It concludes with a case study about the decline of the Bretton Woods fixed exchange rate system that was in place after World War II.12.1 Overview of Policy with Fixed Exchange Rates Learning Objective Preview the comparative statics results from the AA-DD model with fixed exchange rates. This chapter uses the AA-DD model to describe the effects of fiscal, monetary, and exchange rate policy under a system of fixed exchange rates. Fiscal and monetary policies are the primary tools governments use to guide the macroeconomy. With fixed exchange rates, a third policy option becomes available—that is, exchange rate policy.

In fact, a sociologist has to have more personally challenging scientific standards than the more popularly-known sciences such as physics and chemistry, because it is much more challenging to deal with bias and subjectivity. A chemist doesn't have to question his unconscious motives while sealing his samples, and he will often see organisms growing in them if he doesn't seal them properly; a sociologist has to question his own biases and unconscious movements at every moment, and if he fails, it's very difficult to tell just from looking at the study results."

Definition of a Scientific Law A scientific law is a statement that describes an observable occurrence in nature that appears to always be true. It is a term used in all of the natural sciences (astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics, to name a few). But what is an observable occurrence? Well, it's something that can be seen by anyone and happens with no intervention by man. In science, sometimes a law is called a 'principle'.

Abbreviated Truth Table In constructing a reverse truth table, assume that all the premises are true and the conclusion is false, then consistently assign truth values to the components in an attempt to show that your assumption is correct. If the argument is invalid, this method allows you to construct one line of a truth table that demonstrates the invalidity. If the argument is valid, it is impossible consistently to assign truth values on the assumption that the argument is invalid. Absorption (Abs.) In propositional logic, absorption is a rule of inference in which a conditional statement is given as a premise; you conclude a conditional statement with the same antecedent, and the consequent is a conjunction of the antecedent and consequent of the given proposition. The form of the rule is: p → q ⊢ p → (p · q)Accent The fallacy of accent rests upon the ways in which you emphasize the words in a statement or by quoting passages out of context. Accident An argument commits the fallacy of accident if it applies a general rule in a case in which that rule does not apply.

Confidence Limits for the Mean Purpose: Interval Estimate for Mean Confidence limits for the mean ( Snedecor and Cochran, 1989 ) are an interval estimate for the mean. Interval estimates are often desirable because the estimate of the mean varies from sample to sample. Instead of a single estimate for the mean, a confidence interval generates a lower and upper limit for the mean. The interval estimate gives an indication of how much uncertainty there is in our estimate of the true mean. The narrower the interval, the more precise is our estimate. Confidence limits are expressed in terms of a confidence coefficient."

Mr. Fry is a giant in spreading the principles and practices of superhealth and individual freedom. He is best known as a mentor of Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, the authors of the best-selling book Fit for Life . Mr. Fry has been an inspiration to me, especially as a successful disseminator of the most useful information - which almost by definition deviates from \"\"conventional wisdom\"\" to the most extreme degree. A characteristic of the most useful information tends to be that it differs most from what is commonly believed. Of course, the most important characteristic of useful information is that its application produces superior results. Because the most useful information is so different from what is commonly believed, it also tends to be the most difficult information to communicate successfully. Mr. Fry has demonstrated how to do it."

"text": "Scientific Objectivity First published Mon Aug 25, 2014Scientific objectivity is a characteristic of scientific claims, methods and results. It expresses the idea that the claims, methods and results of science are not, or should not be influenced by particular perspectives, value commitments, community bias or personal interests, to name a few relevant factors. Objectivity is often considered as an ideal for scientific inquiry, as a good reason for valuing scientific knowledge, and as the basis of the authority of science in society. Many central debates in the philosophy of science have, in one way or another, to do with objectivity: confirmation and the problem of induction; theory choice and scientific change; realism; scientific explanation; experimentation; measurement and quantification; evidence and the foundations of statistics; evidence-based science; feminism and values in science. Understanding the role of objectivity in science is therefore integral to a full appreciation of these debates. As this article testifies, the reverse is true too: it is impossible to fully appreciate the notion of scientific objectivity without touching upon many of these debates. The ideal of objectivity has been criticized repeatedly in philosophy of science, questioning both its value and its attainability. This article focuses on the question of how scientific objectivity should be defined, whether the ideal of objectivity is desirable, and to what extent scientists can achieve it. In line with the idea that the epistemic authority of science relies primarily on the objectivity of scientific reasoning, we focus on the role of objectivity in scientific experimentation, inference and theory choice.1.

In propositional logic, a conditional statement is an \"\"if-then\"\" sentence construction that links together an independent (p) and dependent (q) proposition. For any conditional statement, there are three possible permutations of it: the inverse, the converse and the contrapositive. The inverse has the same syntax as the original statement, except that both the p and q propositions are negated. Proposition From a logician's standpoint, a \"\"proposition\"\" is a statement that defines an idea or concept. This statement can refer to an idea that is tangible (e.g. the dog is hungry) or abstract (e.g. the dog is noble). The only requirement is that the proposition must be either \"\"true\"\" or \"\"not true.\"\" Propositional logic does not allow for an ambiguous third value.

The methods of inference used to support or reject claims based on sample data are known as tests of significance. Every test of significance begins with a null hypothesis H 0 . H 0 represents a theory that has been put forward, either because it is believed to be true or because it is to be used as a basis for argument, but has not been proved. For example, in a clinical trial of a new drug, the null hypothesis might be that the new drug is no better, on average, than the current drug. We would write H 0: there is no difference between the two drugs on average. The alternative hypothesis, H a, is a statement of what a statistical hypothesis test is set up to establish. For example, in a clinical trial of a new drug, the alternative hypothesis might be that the new drug has a different effect, on average, compared to that of the current drug. We would write H a: the two drugs have different effects, on average. The alternative hypothesis might also be that the new drug is better, on average, than the current drug."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, the student's t statistic can be negative. It does not matter if you're doing a two-sided t-test (the most common type), but would matter if you're doing a one-sided test. A two-sided test has the alternative hypothesis that the mean (or difference of means) is not equal to a particular value. This is sometimes written as testing that the two means are not equal. A one sided test uses the alternative hypothesis that the mean (or difference of means) is greater than a particular value. This could also be expressed as testing the alternative that one of the means is higher than the other.

Since then, there has been a struggle to understand how to use the notion of infinity in a coherent manner. This article concerns the significant and controversial role that the concepts of infinity and the infinite play in the disciplines of philosophy, physical science, and mathematics. Philosophers want to know whether there is more than one coherent concept of infinity; which entities and properties are infinitely large, infinitely small, infinitely divisible, and infinitely numerous; and what arguments can justify answers one way or the other. Here are four suggested examples of these different ways to be infinite. The density of matter at the center of a black hole is infinitely large. An electron is infinitely small.

Biological agents such as viruses and bacteria are often necessary causes for (infectious) diseases. Chemical agents such as poisons or allergens, or physical agents such as radiation, noise, or heat, are all non-biological agents that are frequently not necessary causes for a disease but contributing factors. Alpha error (Type I error) – is one of the two types of potential errors when conducting a statistical hypothesis test. An alpha error can only occur when the statistical test result is ‘significant’ (i.e. p<0.05). In this case, there is still a small chance (below 5%) that the observed difference (or the observed amount of association) is attributable to chance alone and does factually not exist in the wider population. Analytical epidemiological study – is a quantitative, comparative study investigating the relationship between a study factor and an outcome. Analytical studies often assess the effect of potential causes of disease, pathogenic mechanisms, risk factors, prognostic factors, or remedial therapies. The crucial features of analytical research are the inclusion of a control group (against which comparisons are carried out) and the a priori formulation of a quantified, comparative research hypothesis. Attributable risk – is a measure of association in cohort studies and experimental studies."

Defragmentation and Windows NTWindows NT ® didn't have a built-in defragmentation utility, and conventional wisdom at the time was that you didn't need one. After all, NTFS was built with optimization in mind, and it did not suffer from fragmentation as dramatically as a comparable FAT volume might have.

Before you defrag your computer there are a number of steps you must take first. Read this entire procedure before you use the defrag utility. The Windows operating system places files and programs on a hard drive where there is space; one file will not necessarily be located in one physical place. Over time, a hard drive can become fragmented with hundreds of files broken up in many locations across the drive. Ultimately, this can slow down a computer’s response time because it takes longer for it to access information. That's why using a defrag program can play an important role in speeding up your computer. The process of defragmentation places all parts of a file together in the same place on the drive. It organizes all directories and files according to how you use your computer. After this process is complete, your computer will most likely run faster."

If your computer is running slowly and would like to find out some easy fixes to the problem, keep on reading. Virus The first possibility, and maybe the most common computer ailment, is a virus. Viruses can do any number of things to a computer, but while they’re stealing your data or ruining your files, they’re using up precious system resources that could be used for other important tasks. By running in the background without your knowledge, a virus could sap away all of your processing power or available system memory to cripple your machine into unusability. If you think that you might have a virus, the first thing you’ll want to do is obviously download anti-virus software to help hunt it down and remove it. With it removed, your computer will have less tendency to freeze on basic tasks and will generally run smoother.

The short answer: Defragging isn't vital anymore, but it's still a good idea--unless you have a solid state drive. And Windows' own defragger is fine. The details: As you use a computer, files get split up into fragments. Windows may show you that a file is in My Documents, but physically, bits and pieces of it may be scattered across the surface of the hard drive's multiple platters. All this fragmentation theoretically slows down the PC. When you defrag your hard drive, the files are physically moved so that as many of them as possible are contiguous.

"text": "0As you know by now, Microsoft Windows 7's Disk Defragmenter is configured to run on a regular schedule right out of the box. And, when it runs, it is hidden in the background with no visible interface or icon. This means that Disk Defragmenter will always keep your hard disk in tip-top shape and you never even have to think about defragmenting your hard disk. This is an awesome feature as disk fragmentation can take a huge toll on the overall performance of your operating system. For instance, disk defragmentation can be the source of long boot-times, random crashes, as well as unexplained lock-ups. In fact, an extremely fragmented hard disk can even prevent a system from booting up. Even though the disk defragmenting operation is totally automated in Windows 7, such that you really never need to manually run the utility, the user interface in Disk Defragmenter has been redesigned so that it can provide you with detailed defragmentation status information, allowing you to monitor the progress of the operation if you wish to run it manually. In this edition of the Windows Desktop Report, I'll take a closer look at Windows 7's Disk Defragmenter. As I do, I'll describe and show you how to take advantage of the new features built in to the new version. This blog post is also available in PDF format in a Tech Republic download."

"text": "Do Not Defragment a Tablet’s Internal Storage March 20, 2015 by Ed Hardy Reads (17,187)Tweet Comments (0) Discuss (1) Email Print Defragmenting the hard drive on your desktop or laptop should be done occasionally, as it will increase its performance. The same is not true of the SSD or e MMC in your tablet. Defragmenting the internal storage on your mobile device won’t speed it up — it will have no effect on performance and will actually reduce the tablet’s lifespan. Useless When computers save files, each one isn’t always stored in a continuous bunch. Bits of them are broken up and placed wherever there’s room. Defragmenting brings these files back together, which increases the speed at which they can be read … if you’re using a spinning hard drive. More expensive tablets have SSDs (Solid State Drives) while cheaper ones have a slower e MMC (embedded Multi Media Card). For either of these, there is no slowdown for the computer to pull up the various pieces of the files because there’s no read/write head moving around on a spinning platter. So defragmenting accomplishes nothing. Damaging Well, not exactly nothing … it does lower the useful life of the drive."

Maintaining your computer, whether it runs OS X or Windows, is essential to keeping it peppy – and keeping you sane. If you tune up on a regular basis, you'll probably be much happier with your desktop or laptop's performance. This article is about doing a tune up yourself, rather than installing software that will do it for you. If you don't understand what it means to tune up a computer, or you’d prefer an automated tune up, then check out our previous article on tuning up your PC for computer novices. Here, you'll find a more in-depth step-by-step overview for tuning up your PC yourself, with additional details and resources to illustrate the steps when necessary. My advice about learning to do tune ups isn't laden with too much technical jargon, and it focuses on coming up with a system for making sure you follow through on tuning up regularly.

"text": "\"Over time and with regular use, files and folders on a computer's hard drive break down or become fragmented. When computer files are fragmented, they are typically disorganized and in the wrong place. This can cause the system to run slowly and to experience processing problems. Defragmenting the computer gathers and organizes the files, which usually improves retrieval time and the computer's overall performance. For example, a computer program must access various files on the hard drive every time it is run. If those files are spread out on opposite sides of the hard drive instead of gathered and organized neatly, as they are supposed to be, the computer will have to work extra hard and take extra time to access the information it needs. In some cases, severe defragmenting may even cause a program to stop running entirely. Defragmenting, also referred to as \"\"defragging,\"\" reorganizes the hard drive by putting pieces of related data back together so that files are organized in a contiguous fashion. As a result, the computer system can access files more efficiently. By efficiently organizing files and folders, defragmenting will leave the computer's free space in one big chunk."

Full Answer Files become fragmented as they are saved, changed or deleted. Changes to files are occasionally stored in a different area from the original file, resulting in the file and change being fragmented, or kept apart in pieces. As fragmented files become more numerous, they begin to slow the computer's performance, because the file retrievals have to come from several different places. Computers and devices such as i Pads have disk defragmenting tools that, when run, collect and group the fragmented data."

If you're concerned about your systems at all, you should be defragging them regularly. This probably reminds you of that flossing conversation your dentist has with you every year—you know the one. Well, defragmentation is just as important. Unless your computer is sitting in the corner always turned off, it's getting more and more fragmented. In a moment, I'll show you how this happens, but first let's go over a little defragmentation history. Defragmentation and Windows NTWindows NT ® didn't have a built-in defragmentation utility, and conventional wisdom at the time was that you didn't need one. After all, NTFS was built with optimization in mind, and it did not suffer from fragmentation as dramatically as a comparable FAT volume might have. But over time, even NTFS performance can suffer due to less-than-optimal file placement. This gave birth to a thriving market of third-party defragmentation tools."

"text": "\"NEXTThe word \"\"disk defrag\"\" is typically used to refer to the Microsoft Windows utility called Disk Defragmenter. It is designed to solve a problem that occurs because of the way hard disks store data. If you have read the article How Hard Disks Work, then you know three key facts about hard disks: Hard disks store data in chunks called sectors. If you imagine the surface of the disk divided into rings (like the rings of a tree), and then imagine dividing each ring into pie-slices, a sector is one pie-slice on one ring. Each sector holds a fixed amount of data, like 512 bytes. The hard disk has a small arm that can move from ring to ring on the surface of the disk. To reach a particular sector, the hard disk moves the arm to the right ring and waits for the sector to spin into position. Hard disks are slow in computer terms. Compared to the speed of the processor and its memory, the time it takes for the arm to move and for a sector to spin into place is an eon. Because of fact #3, you want to minimize arm movement as much as possible, and you want data stored in sequential segments on the disk."

"text": "Windows How To: Manage Automatic Maintenance in Windows 10By Adam Jones - Sep 7, 2015 09338Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter Since Windows 8, Microsoft has introduced a host of automatic maintenance tools in the operating system that aim to take care of important tasks without bothering the users. Microsoft went a bit too far on the “automatic” part as they have kept details about the utility well hidden away. Too well, perhaps, as Windows itself does not actually offer any information on what those pesky maintenance tools are doing in your PC. What is Automatic Maintenance anyway? At specific times when your computer is idle, Windows automatically initiates a bunch of tools that maintain the stability of your computer. The tools perform a wide variety of tasks including software updates, checking for solutions to Windows problems via the Error Report tool, optimizing Windows services via the . NET optimization service and defragging your hard disks. In theory, the tools are only started when your computer is idle and you are not using it but it does not always work that way. Windows really likes to run the maintenance tools so if your computer is not actually on at say, 2AM in the morning when the maintenance is originally scheduled for, it will just run the next time your computer is “idle”. Windows is not really great at recognizing when you are not using your computer though, which may cause some annoying issues."

"text": "The most likely cause of windows explorer taking a long time to delete a file is the recycle bin. Each time a file is deleted, windows explorer moves it to the recycle bin. If the recycle bin is full then when a new file is deleted (and moved into the recycle bin) explorer will delete something out of the recycle bin to make space. What takes the time is explorer deciding what to delete and the process of it then deleting it. It is worth noting that a large number of smaller files in the recycle bin (or contained in folders that in turn are in the recycle bin) is more likely to hit performance than a few larger ones. To determine whether this is indeed the cause of the performance problem on your system simply empty the recycle bin and try deleting another file. If when the recycle bin is empty the deletion happens almost instantly then the recycle bin is the root cause of the performance problem. Possible remedies: Reduce the size of the recycle bin. It is worth noting that it is not the size of the recycle bin that is the issue but the number of files that are contained in the recycle bin that leads to the performance hit. Reducing the size of the recycle bin tends to have the natural effect of reducing the number of files that can fit and so will help."

Here's how to defrag your computer on Windows 10. How to Defrag a Windows 10 Computer Defragmenting (or “defragging”) a Windows 10 computer arranges fragmented files on the hard drive in a manner that optimizes the amount of disk space and increasing system performance. When you defragment the hard drive, all fragments of files are moved to contiguous clusters. This makes it easy for Windows to read the files and the computer starts working faster. On your computer with Windows 10, defragmenting only the system drive (C: ) is sufficient. However, if you experience long load times while accessing the files stored in other partitions of the hard disk, you can defragment them as well. The process of defragmenting the partitions of a hard disk drive is identical for every partition (volume). Here is how to defrag your computer.

"text": "Defragmenting Your Hard Drive: It’s Simple HP-Melissa | September 6, 2011 Post a Comment0 Kudos One of the most obvious benefits of technology is its ability to speed everything up. While it used to take forever to get online with our dial up modems, we now get frustrated when it takes more than a few seconds for a document to open on our cell phone. When I bought my first laptop, one of the things I loved most about it is that it loaded and downloaded and opened and closed everything I wanted and needed so quickly. And then, from time to time, it began to slow down. I mentioned this to a colleague and his advice was uncharacteristically simple and direct: Defrag it. Hard drives, like all valuable tools, endure a certain amount of wear and tear from normal use. One of the most common ailments is that the hard drive is pushed and pulled in so many directions that it gets fragmented. A file stored in five fragments can take twice as long to open as the same file if it is defragmented. But unlike all valuable tools, regular maintenance of your hard drive does not require an appointment or even much time. And it’s free."

"text": "\"Defragmenting Indexes in SQL Server 2005 and 2008Rob Sheldon tackles the subject of Index Defragmentation in SQL Server 2005 and 2008, using the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats system function. He shows how to analyze indexes and, if necessary, how to go about reorganizing or rebuilding indexes. He makes the point that, by analyzing indexes effectively, you can save a lot of unnecessary rebuilding of indexes. When data is inserted into, deleted from, or updated in a SQL Server table, the indexes defined on that table are automatically updated to reflect those changes. As the indexes are modified, the information stored in them becomes fragmented, resulting in the information being scattered across the data files. When this occurs, the logical ordering of the data no longer matches the physical ordering, which can lead to a deterioration of query performance. To fix this problem, indexes must be periodically reorganized or rebuilt (defragmented) so the physical order of the leaf-level pages matches the logical order of the leaf nodes. This means that you should analyze your indexes periodically to determine whether they’ve become fragmented and the extent of that fragmentation. From there, you can either reorganize or rebuild the affected indexes, depending on the results of your analysis. In this article, I explain how to analyze SQL Server indexes and how reorganize and rebuild them."

An SSD utilizes a special kind of memory chip with erasable, writeable cells that can hold data even when powered off. It might help to think of an SSD as the larger cousin of the memory stick. Like standard drives, an SSD utilizes a special area for cache memory. Cache memory serves the function of increasing processing speeds by holding data that is needed repeatedly. With the data close at hand in the cache, it does not need to be fetched from the main storage area each time it’s called. Some SSDs use cache that is volatile, as in synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), while others use non-volatile cache. The former requires a power source to retain data, just like computer RAM. The latter type retains data even without power."

It is the second most common reason for a doctor’s visit, behind only to the common cold. Billions of dollars are spent annually on treating back pain, which is also a very common cause of disability. More than 90% of people will experience an episode of debilitating back pain at some point in their lifetime. While there are many causes of back pain, the most common cause is a disorder of the lumbar intervertebral discs. The spine is divided into three parts, and the lumbar spine is the lowest part of the spine. The intervertebral discs are shock absorbers, or spacers, that are located in the spine between the bones of the spine, called vertebrae (hence the name “intervertebral”). The makeup of a disc is similar to that of a jelly donut, in that it has a soft gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus, which has a very limited blood supply, and a thicker outer fibrous structure called the anulus fibrosis, which has sensitive nerves dispersed within it. The purpose of the disc is to allow movement and to provide shock absorbing capability. However, much like a jelly donut, if too much pressure is applied, the disc can bulge out of place or break apart."

The pain and discomfort that is caused by degeneration and arthritis of this part of the spine is called facet arthropathy, which simply means a disease or abnormality of the facet joints.33 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "An Overview of Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease By reading the anatomy section of this web site, you can understand how the neck is constructed. The discs are wedged in between the vertebral bodies in the front of the spine and the paired facets join the two vertebra in the back of the spine. These movable areas can wear out and cause neck pain. The neck pain from the wear of these structures may be located in the center of the neck, the side of the neck and also may radiate into the top or middle of the shoulders. If the pain radiates down the arm or up the back of the head, this is not disc or facet pain but nerve pain and can occur in conjunction with neck pain. It results from compression of the nerve root which is a byproduct of cervical degenerative disc disease and cervical degenerative facet disease. See the section on nerve root compression for more information on this condition. The causes of neck pain can often be linked to degenerative changes within the cervical spine. To explain cervical degenerative disc disease and cervical degenerative facet disease, it’s important to understand first, what is a degenerative disc? Mechanically, everything in the cervical spine revolves around the disc."

"text": "\"What is Spinal Disc Desiccation? Disc desiccation is another term used virtually interchangeably for degenerative disc disease. Actually, desiccation is the very first step in the DDD process, when discs first start to show the physical changes associated with the spinal aging progression. It should be noted that although desiccation is blamed for sourcing or contributing to many varieties of back pain, the condition is far more scapegoat than villain. Additionally, desiccation is completely universal and normal in the cervical and lumbar spinal regions and is expected to occur. So, do not be surprised if this term is used to describe a few of the intervertebral discs in your spine; L4/L5 and L5/S1 for sure!This essay explains the universal occurrence of spinal disc dehydration and its potential effects, including the generation of painful symptoms. Disc Desiccation Definition Desiccation simply means to lose water. The intervertebral discs are composed mostly of water, as is most of our anatomy. As discs age, it is normal for them to lose moisture content, as well as their ability to retain moisture. This results in the clear signs of degenerative disc disease so often seen on diagnostic imaging technologies like spinal MRI."

"text": "An Overview of Causes of Lower Back Pain Pain in the lower back has a multitude of causes. The discs, facets, pars interarticularis, sacroiliac joints, hip joints and nerves can all be causes of lower back pain. Even compression fractures at T12 and a high grade thoracic hyperkyphosis (increased thoracic curve) can cause lower back pain. The trick is to discover what structures are causing this pain and formulate a treatment plan. Although the structures of the lower back cause the vast majority of lower back pain, this section does not take into consideration that lower back pain can also be caused by referral pain from structures not in the lumbar spine. Commonly, patients will throw all lower back pain symptoms into the “garbage bin” of “low back pain”. When asked, “where does it hurt” many will state, “in my lower back” but not having really thought where the symptoms specifically are located. If carefully analyzed, most of this “lower back pain” will be found to have specific locations with certain activities and that differential can make a great difference in the diagnosis of the origin of the pain. Patients will use the term “hip pain” and confusingly point to their sacroiliac joint. Patients with “lower back pain” will point to their buttocks as the center of their pain."

If you’re experiencing back pain along with a lack of feeling or prickling sensations, you may be suffering from this condition. Disc degeneration is one of the most common causes of lower back pain, but it’s frequently misunderstood. For example, 30% of people aged 30-50 years old will have some type of degeneration in their spine. When they hit 60, most people will have some changes. But, the majority of patients won’t experience any painful symptoms. Further, if you do experience pain, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will get worse. Unlike the common understanding that a degenerative disc and associated pain would get worse, generally the pain does not worsen over time. Further, disc degeneration is a typical part of aging."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Conditions and Diseases Back Neck and Spine What is facet hypertrophic change? Flag What is facet hypertrophic change? Answer by Theodore Herazy Confidence votes 689Facet hypertrophic change is a term commonly found in x-ray and MRI reports concerning the condition of the spine. A facet is a type of joint found at the back or rear portion of the spine that gives support and strength to the spinal column while still allowing the spine to move. There are a total of 46 facet joints in the spine, made up of pairs of projections from two adjacent spinal bones that unit them together in a functional unit of strength and movement. These facet joints are all covered and further strengthened by layers of ligaments that reinforce each one. Hypertrophy or hypertrophic change means that something that started out as one size in the body has increased in size, like with a muscle when the muscle is exercised or a tissue cell when the body is attempting to make that particular tissue work better or harder. Hypertrophic changes happen in joint tissue when the body is attempting to reinforce or strengthen a joint when it is being weakened by arthritis. In the case of facet hypertrophic changes, the ligaments would typically thicken and the bones in and around the joint would become more dense or harder, and extra bone tissue might be laid down to increase the size of the boney projections that make up the facet joint. All of these changes are visible in an MRI or x-ray examination and indicate early arthritis in that area of the spine where such changes are found, and would explain complaints of pain and stiffness.3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

This article will review:cervical spine anatomydegenerative conditions that can lead to neck paindiagnosistreatments First, a Cervical Spine Anatomy Lesson The cervical spine consists of the top 7 vertebrae of the spine. Doctors often refer to these vertebrae as C1-C7, with the \"\"C\"\" indicating cervical, and the numbers 1-7 indicating the level of the vertebrae. C1 is closest to the skull, while C7 is closest to the thoracic (chest/rib cage) region of the spine. The cervical spine is particularly susceptible to degenerative problems because of:its large range of motionits somewhat complex anatomy. For example, cervical motion segments (ie, a disc with a vertebra above and below) consist of five \"\"joints\"\" (the intervertebral disc, the two facet joints, and the two uncovertebral joints). Many degenerative problems, including osteophytes (bone spurs), can develop in these motion segments.

Prior to becoming emperor, Titus gained renown as a military commander, serving under his father in Judea during the First Jewish–Roman War. The campaign came to a brief halt with the death of emperor Nero in 68, launching Vespasian's bid for the imperial power during the Year of the Four Emperors. When Vespasian was declared Emperor on 1 July 69, Titus was left in charge of ending the Jewish rebellion. In 70, he besieged and captured Jerusalem, and destroyed the city and the Second Temple.

Her name literally means the feminine aspect of the throne - also the Queen of the throne. However, the hieroglyph for her name used originally meant (female) of flesh, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified Earthly queens of the World. She was most prominently remembered as the wife of Horus, or, in later periods, as the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshiped as the archetypal wife and mother. Isis is the feminine archetype for creation - the goddess of fertility and motherhood. She has gone by many names, such as the 'virgin' Mary, and played many roles in history and mythology -as goddess, virgin, and female creator of life. Isis represents the feminine aspects of life - male and female alike, for she represents creation, rebirth, reincarnation, Ascension, intuition, psychic abilities, higher frequency vibrations, love and compassion. In other words, she represents nature and all that is natural of our existence. She is the mother nurturer - the High Priestess - the Goddess of creation, and perhaps representing Eve, the first woman and mother of all."

"text": "Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Tao: The Pathless Way Share Flipboard Email Print Fred Froese/E+/Getty Imagesby Elizabeth Reninger Updated March 18, 2017Although there are hundreds of deities in the Taoist pantheon, with Tai-shang Lao-chun -- the deified Laozi -- at the top, Taoism’s ultimate principle, named as Tao, is decidedly non-theistic, pointing to a realm beyond any specific form. The literal translation of Tao is “way” or “path.” It is associated with a life of simplicity, quietude and harmony, both in relation to the natural world, as well as in our interactions with social/political institutions. Being a man or woman “of the Tao” means being attuned to cycles of change; being consciously aware of our place within the web of Life; and acting in the world according to the principles of wu wei – naturalness, ease and spontaneity. Taoist Cosmology In terms of Taoist cosmology, Tao is the realm that is the source of “the 10,000 things,” i.e. all of manifestation, though itself is transcendent of any particular “thing.” To have experiential access to the Tao, in a stable and continuous way - a feat achieved in large part through the practice of Inner Alchemy - is to be an Immortal, a Buddha, an Awakened One. Tao In Relation to Other Spiritual Traditions What “Tao” points to is similar to what “Buddha” or “Buddha-nature,” or “Dharmakaya,” or “Primordial Wisdom” points to in Buddhism; what “God” points to in (contemplative forms of) Christianity; what “Self” or “Pure Awareness” points to in Advaita Vedanta; what “Brahman” points to in Hinduism; and what “Allah” points to in Islam and Sufism. Contemporary Usage In contemporary usage, to say “the Tao of {insert here pretty much anything you like: physics, golfing, tea, Pooh}” implies a way of “doing” that is infused with something beyond our usual egoic patterns – a source of greater power, ease or inspiration. It is being “in the groove” or “in the zone” – a conduit for spiritual energy. Wei Wu Wei, one of the most profound and innovative 20th-century interpreters of Taoism and Buddhism, has this to say about Tao, in his amazing little book, “All Else Is Bondage”: Tao, the pathless Way, has a gateless Gate which, just as the Equator separates the Northern from the Southern hemisphere, illusorily separates and unites the phenomenal and the noumenal, samsara and nirvana."

Memphis, Egypt Egyptian magician, physician, scribe, sage, architect, astronomer, vizier, and priest I mhotep was an ancient Egyptian genius who achieved great success in a wide variety of fields. Inventor of the pyramid, author of ancient wisdom, architect, high priest, physician, astronomer, and writer, Imhotep's many talents and vast acquired knowledge had such an effect on the Egyptian people that he became one of only a handful of individuals of nonroyal birth to be deified, or promoted to the status of a god. Second in a long line of architects Imhotep, or \"\"he who cometh in peace,\"\" was born in Ankhtowe, a suburb of Memphis, Egypt. The month and day of his birth are noted precisely as the sixteenth day of Epiphi, third month of the Egyptian harvest (corresponding to May 31) but the year is not definitely recorded. It is known that Imhotep was a contemporary (living in the same time period) of the Pharaoh, or king of Egypt, Zoser (also known as Neterikhet) of the Third Dynasty. But estimates of the era of his reign vary by as much as three hundred years, falling between 2980 and 2600 B. C. E. Imhotep's father, Kanofer, a celebrated architect, was later known to be the first of a long line of master builders who contributed to Egyptian works through the reign of King Darius the First (522–486 B. C. E. ). His mother, Khreduonkh, who probably came from the province of Mendes, is known today for having been deified alongside her son, an Egyptian custom. Vizier under King Zoser The office of the vizier in politics was literally described as \"\"supervisor of everything in this entire land.\"\" Only the best educated citizen could handle the range of duties of this position that worked closely with the Pharaoh, or king of Egypt. As vizier, Imhotep was chief advisor to Zoser in both religious and practical matters, and he controlled the departments of the Judiciary (court system), Treasury, War, Agriculture, and the General Executive."

"text": "\"RELIGION LIBRARYTaoism Overview Origins History Beliefs Rituals and Worship Ethics and Communityoverview Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an indigenous Chinese religion often associated with the Daode jing (Tao Te Ching), a philosophical and political text purportedly written by Laozi (Lao Tzu) sometime in the 3rd or 4th centuries B. C. E. The Daode jing focuses on dao as a \"\"way\"\" or \"\"path\"\" — that is, the appropriate way to behave and to lead others — but the Daode jing also refers to Tao as something that existed \"\"before Heaven and Earth,\"\" a primal and chaotic matrix from which all forms emerged. Taoism did not exist as an organized religion until the Way of the Celestial Masters sect was founded in 142 C. E. by Zhang Daoling, who based the sect on spiritual communications from the deified Laozi. The Way of the Celestial Masters and other later sects of Taoism engaged in complex ritual practices, including devotion to a wide range of celestial divinities and immortals, and thousands of Taoist religious texts were produced over the centuries. Taoists also engaged with Chinese politics in a variety of ways throughout Chinese history. At one time, scholars in both China and the West distinguished philosophical from religious Taoism, but more recently a continuity of belief and practice between these has been recognized. In both, a harmonious relationship between nature, humanity, and the divine is emphasized, and both are concerned with appropriate behavior and ways of leading and governing others. The term \"\"Tao\"\" has a number of meanings. Taoist religious sects were persecuted in China during the 19th and 20th centuries, but are currently undergoing a revival. Western interest in Taoism has, for the most part, been confined to the Daode jing, but in both the West and in the East, there is considerable interest in practices which, while not \"\"Taoist\"\" per se, are often associated with Taoism, ranging from fengshui to taiji quan to acupuncture and herbal medicine. Quick Fact Details: Formed: As with many ancient religious traditions, an exact date is impossible to determine."

"text": "23 March, 2014 - 11:55 dhwty The Lost Tomb of Imhotep? One of the more terrifying films that I remember watching as a child was Stephen Sommers’, The Mummy (1999). In that film, the main antagonist was a character called Imhotep, who was the high priest of the pharaoh Seti. Obviously, the Imhotep from the film is not the same Imhotep of this article. In fact, the Imhotep we are interested in lived during the Old Kingdom, which is more than a millennium before the reign of Seti I. This Imhotep was also a benevolent figure, and he is probably most famous today as the architect of the Step Pyramid of the pharaoh Djoser. Apart from that, Imhotep was also a physician, high priest, engineer, polymath, and basically a very important member of the pharaoh Djoser’s court. Step Pyramid of Djoser (Wikimedia). One of the most interesting things about Imhotep was that he was deified after his death. Although it is claimed that “ Only one other commoner in the long history of Ancient Egypt achieved this status, another architect of the 18 th dynasty called Amenophis son of Hapu”, this may in fact be false. Other important people from ancient Egypt were also deified."

The story of the Ganges, from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of India’s civilization and culture, of the rise and fall of empires, of great and proud cities, of adventure of man….”For thousands of years, this river has been essential to sustain millions of people, perhaps even billions. The Ganges Valley, or basin, is 200-400 miles wide, and includes some of the most fertile soil in the world. For this reason, the river makes possible the livelihood of 450 million people! Not only does it sustain millions of farmers, but also city dwellers. This and its tributaries provide the water source for the major cities of New Delhi, Allahabad, Patna, Varanasi, Kolkata, and Dhaka, capital city of Bangladesh. The Ganges River runs 1557 miles long. It begins at 14,000 feet in an ice cave in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand, near the Tibetan border, running south into the Indian plains. From there it runs east through Uttar Pradesh, India’s largest state, that has a population that exceeds all but eight countries in the world. Without the Ganges River, this state could never sustain this many people."

"text": "\"What is Deionized Water? Deionization (\"\"DI Water\"\" or \"\"Demineralization\"\") simply means the removal of ions. Ions are electrically charged atoms or molecules found in water that have either a net negative or positive charge. For many applications that use water as a rinse or ingredient, these ions are considered impurities and must be removed from the water. Ions with a positive charge are called \"\"Cations\"\" and ions with a negative charge are called \"\"Anions\"\". Ion exchange resins are used to exchange non desirable cations and anions with hydrogen and hydroxyl, respectively, forming pure water (H20), which is not an ion. Below is a list of ions commonly found in municipal water. Cations ( Removed by Cation Resins) Anions ( Removed by Anion Resins)Calcium (Ca++) Chlorides (Cl-)Magnesium (Mg++) Sulfates (SO4--)Iron (Fe+++) Nitrates (NO3-)Manganese (Mn++) Carbonates (CO3--)Sodium (Na+) Silica (Si O2-)Hydrogen (H+) Hydroxyl (OH-)How does ion exchange work?

"text": "Objective: To distinguish the growth characteristics of microorganisms in various differential, selective and enriched media. Principle: Much of the study of microorganisms depends on its ability to grow in the laboratory, and this is possible only if suitable culture media are available for the growth of microorganism. A culture medium is defined as a solid or liquid preparation used for the growth, transport, and storage of microorganisms. The effective culture medium must contain all the nutrients required for the growth of the microorganism. Specialized media are widely employed for the isolation and identification of microorganisms, testing the antibiotic sensitivities, analysis of water and food, industrial microbiology, and other activities. Although all microorganisms need sources of energy, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, and various minerals, the exact composition of a satisfactory medium will rely on the species one is trying to identify and cultivate because nutritional requirements vary so greatly among the microorganisms. Knowledge of microorganism’s normal habitat is often useful in selecting a suitable culture medium because its nutrient requirements reflect its natural surroundings. A medium is used to select and growing specific microorganisms or to help identifying a particular species. In these cases, the function of the medium also depends on its composition. In addition to nutrients necessary for the growth of all bacteria, special-purpose media contain one or more chemical compounds that are essential for their functional specificity."

"text": "\"Water Hardness Inorganic Reactions Experiment Authors: Rachel Casiday and Regina Frey Department of Chemistry, Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130What is \"\"Hard Water\"\"? Perhaps you have on occassion noticed mineral deposits on your cooking dishes, or rings of insoluble soap scum in your bathtub. These are not signs of poor housekeeping, but are rather signs of hard water from the municipal water supply. Hard water is water that contains cations with a charge of +2, especially Ca 2+ and Mg 2+. These ions do not pose any health threat, but they can engage in reactions that leave insoluble mineral deposits. These deposits can make hard water unsuitable for many uses, and so a variety of means have been developed to \"\"soften\"\" hard water; i.e., remove the calcium and magnesium ions. Problems with Hard Water Mineral deposits are formed by ionic reactions resulting in the formation of an insoluble precipitate. For example, when hard water is heated, Ca 2+ ions react with bicarbonate (HCO 3- ) ions to form insoluble calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3 ), as shown in Equation 1. ( 1)This precipitate, known as scale, coats the vessels in which the water is heated, producing the mineral deposits on your cooking dishes. In small quantities, these deposits are not harmful, but they may be frustrating to try to clean."

It is composed of a mixed bed of ions and cations that attract the elements electricly. They can be single, double, or multiple depending on the desired efficiency of the user. The reason for multiple deionization units (DI) is to be able to utilize the DI resin to the max before it needs changing without sacrificing the resulting water's quality The filter does a final polish of the water removing any minor trace elements that may have passed through the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Take for instance reverse osmosis and deionization of water for use in reef tanks. Reverse osmosis deionization units (RO/DI) are essential in the successful management of a reef tank. These units provide ultra pure water for a stable, predictable reef environment. The purified water allows the reef aquarist to determine and add only the essential trace elements and other essential nutrients to the water without any other unwanted metals or organic impurities."

One of the most important factors when choosing a liquid cooling technology for your application is the compatibility of the heat transfer fluid with the wetted surfaces of the cooling components or system and your application. Heat transfer fluid compatibility is critical in ensuring long-term system reliability. Some other requirements for a heat transfer fluid may include high thermal conductivity and specific heat, low viscosity, low freezing point, high flash point, low corrosivity, low toxicity, and thermal stability 1. Based on these criteria, the most commonly used coolants for liquid cooling applications today are: Water Deionized Water Inhibited Glycol and Water Solutions Dielectric Fluids By selecting a compatible pairing of heat transfer fluid and wetted materials, you’ll minimize the risk of corrosion as well as optimize your thermal performance. Copper is compatible with water and glycol/water solutions and aluminum is compatible with glycol/water solutions, dielectric fluids, and oils. When using deionized water or other corrosive fluids, however, stainless steel is generally recommended since it is more corrosion resistant than other metals. ( See Table 1.)

To make the CNCs adaptable for use in composites, the hydroxyl groups on the surface are usually hydrophobized. In this article, an alternative hydrophobization method is described in which the sulfate groups are conjugated with azetidinium salts. The results of this study show that the sulfate groups can be functionalized with azetidinium salts and from thermal studies, it was discovered that the functionalization led to a 100 °C increase in thermal stability, compared with unmodified CNCs. The nanocomposites prepared by extrusion of CNC-coated low-density polyethylene powder displayed similar mechanical properties as the CNC-reference sample, but without the discoloration, due to the increased thermal stability. In conclusion, the azetidinium reagent reacts preferentially with sulfate groups, and this new type of chemical conversion of sulfate groups on polysaccharides will be beneficial in nanocomposite manufacturing. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

"text": "Volume 11, Number 1, Jan. 1989, pp.4-5The Cleaning and Lacquering of Museum Silverby Glenn Wharton Editor's Note: I asked Glenn to prepare a pared down version of the lecture on silver he presented at the WAAC Conference in Yosemite. The following is a brief summary of the procedures that are used to clean and lacquer silver. Please remember that each object has its own story to tell, and this summary does not attempt to cover the wide variety of problems one faces in conserving silver artifacts. Tarnish Removal: In general, cleaning with acidified thiourea is preferred over abrasive cleaning. Thiourea chemically dissolves silver sulfide (tarnish). Tarnish on gilt surfaces should always be removed chemically, since abrasives will wear away the thin layer of gold over time. The intensive washing which follows the thiourea treatment may prevent its use on silver with associated organic materials such as ivory or wood. After careful inspection to insure that no lacquer is present on the object, the surface should be mechanically cleaned of surface grime and old polish residue. This can be achieved with wood skewers, stencil brushes or ultrasonics. Next, the tarnish can be removed with acidified thiourea, using either cotton swabs or stencil brushes."

Abstract A considerable growth of interest in electrowetting (EW) has stemmed from the potential exploitation of this technique in numerous industrial and biological applications, such as microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip, electronic paper, and bioanalytical techniques. The application of EW to droplets of liquids containing nanoparticles (nanofluids) is a new area of interest. Understanding the effects of electrowetting at the fundamental level and being able to manipulate deposits from nanofluid droplets represents huge potential. In this work, we study the complete evaporation of nanofluid droplets under DC conditions. Different evolutions of contact angle and contact radius, as well as deposit patterns, are revealed. When a DC potential is applied, continuous and smoother receding of the contact line during the drying out of Ti O 2 nanofluids and more uniform patterning of the deposit are observed, in contrast to the typical “stick-slip” behavior and rings stains. Furthermore, the mechanisms for nanoparticle interactions with the applied DC potential differ from those proposed for the EW of droplets under AC conditions. The more uniform patterns of particle deposits resulting from DC potential are a consequence of a shorter timescale for electrophoretic mobility than advection transport driven by evaporation.

"text": "What Is Deionized Water? Biological organisms need to consume water to live. However, water is not only necessary for life, it is integral in many aspects of our day-to-day existence. Though it is present in nature and ultimately recycled through a variety of natural processes, water can be found in several impure states. Often these impurities are due to the presence of salts, mineral ions, bacteria, and micro-organisms. While these impurities can complicate water’s ultimate usefulness, scientists have conceived ways to counteract the impurities. Water can be purified through a number of means, but those means often address only specific needs. The most commonly found purification procedures are deionization, distillation, and reverse osmosis. Additional treatments are used to make potable or drinkable water. Let’s discuss about deionized water first."

"text": "\"Most recent answer: 12/26/2014Q: What is dieonized water? - Bob (age 9) minesota international school A: Deionized Water (We call it \"\"DI water\"\" in the chemistry labs) is just what it sounds like: Water that has the ions removed. Tap water is usually full of ions from the soil (Na +, Ca 2+ ), from the pipes (Fe 2+, Cu 2+ ), and other sources. Water is usually deionized by using an ion exchange process. Why de-ionize water? Often, when you are doing chemistry experiments, the ions in water will be an interference. They can switch places with other ions you may be interested in experimenting on. You may also be interested in finding out what elements are in a small sample of material. For example, a farmer may want to know what's in his soil, or the Environmental Protection Agency wants to know what a factory's emitting into the air. Dissolving the sample in water and doing tests on the result is a common technique, and contaminants in the water will make the whole test give the wrong answers."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Pure Water)navigation search Bottle for distilled water in the Royal Academy of Pharmacy (Spain)Purified water is water that has been mechanically filtered or processed to remove impurities and make it suitable for use. Distilled water has been the most common form of purified water, but, in recent years, water is more frequently purified by other processes including capacitive deionization, reverse osmosis, carbon filtering, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, or electrodeionization. Combinations of a number of these processes have come into use to produce ultrapure water of such high purity that its trace contaminants are measured in parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt). Purified water has many uses, largely in the production of medications, in science and engineering laboratories and industries, and is produced in a range of purities. It can be produced on site for immediate use or purchased in containers. Purified water in colloquial English can also refer to water which has been treated (\"\"rendered potable\"\") to neutralize, but not necessarily remove contaminants considered harmful to humans or animals.

TCA precipitation denatures the protein, so it should not be used if the protein must remain in its folded state (e.g., if you want to measure a biochemical activity of the protein). Previous chapter Next chapter Keywords Bromophenol blue Deoxycholate-trichloroacetic acid precipitation Dithiothreitol (DTT) Glycerol Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) Sodium hydroxide (Na OH) Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) Tris base1. Theory TCA is an analog of acetic acid in which the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl carbon have been replaced with chlorine atoms. TCA is a relatively weak acid so it cannot hydrolyze the peptide bonds of proteins, but it does maintain an acidic p H in water. Addition of TCA to proteins in an aqueous solution disrupts the hydrogen-bonded water molecules (hydration sphere) surrounding a protein. These protein molecules no longer remain soluble and can be recovered by centrifugation. However, because TCA disrupts hydrogen bonding, the proteins will also lose their secondary structure and become denatured. TCA precipitation has several drawbacks: (1) TCA precipitation denatures proteins and cannot be used if the activity of the protein is to be retained; (2) the protein concentration of the starting solution must be fairly high (≥ 5 μg ml − 1 ); (3) TCA precipitation does not work for all proteins and can be somewhat finicky. If TCA precipitation does not work for your protein of interest, it is advisable to try variants of TCA precipitation (included in this protocol) or other methods of precipitation or concentration, such as acetone precipitation, salting out (see Salting out of proteins using ammonium sulfate precipitation ), immunoprecipitation (you can extract a protocol from Analysis of Protein-Protein Interactions by Co-immunoprecipitation ), or ultrafiltration.2."

"text": "\"What is Deionized Water? Deionization (\"\"DI Water\"\" or \"\"Demineralization\"\") simply means the removal of ions. Ions are electrically charged atoms or molecules found in water that have either a net negative or positive charge. For many applications that use water as a rinse or ingredient, these ions are considered impurities and must be removed from the water. Ions with a positive charge are called \"\"Cations\"\" and ions with a negative charge are called \"\"Anions\"\". Ion exchange resins are used to exchange non desirable cations and anions with hydrogen and hydroxyl, respectively, forming pure water (H20), which is not an ion.

Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby and the narrator in \"\"The Crack-Up,\"\" a Fitzgerald essay written about a decade later. The themes of ambition and disillusion in the literature that my essay explores are still relevant to common experiences today. We express our goals in lists, numbering our aspirations, checking off blank boxes once satisfied with the outcomes of our efforts. Yet we rarely bullet-point dreams, and almost never cross them off, pronouncing them achieved. Generally, we perceive dreams as distant and unquantifiable, unreachable through the simplistic plans of action used to reach our goals. Nevertheless, ambition sometimes overtakes the patient acceptance of a dream’s intangibility. Dreams become palpable, step-by-step processes, with timetables attached to the attainment of lifelong happiness. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby’s love of the wealthy Daisy Buchanan – a now-married woman from an old romance of his youth – becomes his idealized dream, and finding a perfect future with Daisy dominates every aspect of his life for five years. He decorates his house, throws parties, and reshapes his identity in hopes of finding and keeping her, as if winning her solidifies his success and contentment. The strength of Gatsby’s desire blinds him to time, as it passes and crumbles the possibility of his dream’s realization."

"text": "Oxymoron Definition of Oxymoron Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two opposite ideas are joined to create an effect. The common oxymoron phrase is a combination of an adjective proceeded by a noun with contrasting meanings, such as “cruel kindness,” or “living death”. However, the contrasting words/phrases are not always glued together. The contrasting ideas may be spaced out in a sentence, such as, “In order to lead, you must walk behind. ”Difference Between Oxymoron and Paradox It is important to understand the difference between an oxymoron and a paradox. A paradox may consist of a sentence, or even a group of sentences. An oxymoron, on the other hand, is a combination of two contradictory or opposite words. A paradox seems contradictory to the general truth, but it does contain an implied truth. An oxymoron, however, may produce a dramatic effect, but does not make literal sense. Examples of oxymoron are found both in casual conversations and in literature."

"text": "\"Body Languages and Their Meaning People often use body language (kinesics) as a physical, nonverbal form of communication to convey some feeling or intention. Common body languages include postures, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements, which give away some clues to how you may really feel. Here are some body language meanings which can help you understand what other people are conveying. Body Languages and Their Meaning1Arms crossed in front of the chest This is one of the body language examples that indicate that one is being defensive. The body language meaning of crossed arms may also show disagreement with opinions and actions of other people with whom you are communicating.2Biting of nails Nail biting demonstrates nervousness, stress, or insecurity. Many people bite nails without realizing they have the habit.3Hand on cheek This body language example indicates that one is lost in thought, maybe considering something. When your hand is on your cheek and your brows are furrowed you may be in deep concentration.4Finger tapping or drumming This action demonstrates that one is growing tired or impatient while waiting.5Touching the nose Touching or rubbing the nose signifies disbelief, rejection, or lying about something.6Brisk rubbing of the hands This may show that the hands are cold, which may mean that one is excited about something, or waiting eagerly.7Placing finger tips together This is called \"\"steepling,\"\" or placing fingertips together to demonstrate control or authority. This is one of the body language examples that bosses and other authority figures use to show that they are in control.8Open palms, facing upward This gesture is a sign of honesty, sincerity, submission, and innocence. This is how some people show submission and respect during church worship.9Head in hands The body language meaning of this gesture may be that of boredom, being upset, or being ashamed, so one does not want to show their face.10Locking of ankles Whether you are sitting or standing, when your ankles are locked, you are communicating apprehension or nervousness.11Stroking the chin or beard This communicates that one is in deep thought. This action is often done unintentionally when one is trying to come up with some decision.12Ear pulling Pulling an ear lobe can mean one is trying to make a decision, but remains indecisive about something.13Head nodding This gesture usually signifies agreement or bowing, a submissive gesture that shows one is going along with another person's opinions.14Lint picking Picking of imaginary lint is another one of the body language examples of displacement gestures, which one uses to show disapproval of the attitudes or opinions of other."

"text": "\"Social Science Economics What is population?i need to know very specifically and clearly .... I'm talking about population in terms of \"\"'Economics \"\"\"\"Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: In sociology and biology a population is the collection of people or organisms of a particular species living in a given geographic area or space, usually measured by a census. Populations are studied, in particular, in a branch of ecology known as population biology, and in population genetics. In population dynamics, size, age and sex structure, mortality, reproductive behaviour, and growth of a population are studied. In biology, an isolated population denotes farty breeding group whose members breed mostly or solely among themselves, usually as a result of physical isolation, although biologically they could breed with any members of the species. If there are several completely or nearly completely isolated populations in the global population of a taxon, these are called subpopulations. The metapopulation is a network of subpopulations in a given area (which may be global), where the individuals of the various subpopulations are able to cross uninhabitable areas of the region. Biological dispersal is one of the key elements affecting such populations; if dispersal is sufficiently low for a prolonged period of time, speciation is likely to be a consequence. Demography is the study of human populations. Its three central foci are the processes of fertility, mortality, and migration, though the field encompasses many dimensions of population change including the family (marriage and divorce), public health, work and the labor force, and family planning. Various aspects of human behavior in populations are also studied in sociology, economics, and geography."

Days after refuting comments she'd evidently made to England's Guardian about wanting to be dead, Lana Del Rey topped the Billboard 200 on Wednesday with her album \"\"Ultraviolence.\"\" The record, Del Rey's second full-length following 2012's \"\"Born to Die,\"\" sold 182,000 copies in its first week, the week that ended June 22, according to Nielsen Sound Scan -- the singer's best sales week yet. As Billboard's Keith Caulfield writes, Del Rey got to No. 1 without doing the standard round of release-week TV performances. But audiences in Southern California have had several opportunities to see Del Rey onstage, including at April's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and at a show last month at the Shrine Expo Hall. The singer has also made a string of widely viewed music videos, a medium that might be her most natural habitat.

Personally, she is my favorite. I mean, I know that she does not sing so well live, but she writes awesome music. Her lyrics really speak to me and can be connected to my personal experience. She is widely considered an alternative artist, because many of her music elements are not viewed as trendy. Also, her lyrics have been labeled “anti femenism” by many, but I personally think that a woman saying what’s on her mind and putting whatever lyrics she wants in her own music should not be criticized and labeled in any way. I love her and I hope she continues to create great music.580 Views · 6 Upvotes Promoted by Amazon Amazon kitchen and dining essentials. Shop our selection of kitchen and dining essentials.

"text": "Vocal Range and Profile: Lana Del Rey Vocal Range: F#2 - F5 - E6 (G6)Voice Type: Dugazon (3 octaves and 5 notes)Vocal Rating: C+Recommended Listenings: Brite Lites, Heart-Shaped Box, Young and Beautiful Positives: Lana has adopted a unique style of phrasing, combined with her unique vocal type, that makes her voice instantly recognizable. Her voice compliments her darker musical styling, but can also adopt a much happier style (Compare Born To Die to Off To the Races ). Her low notes are her most identifiable feature, developing an impressive lower register. Though initially (and still somewhat) foggy, they have grown over time to become heavier and darker. Her midrange brightens and it ascends, gaining a youthful timbre, compared to her dark lower register. She rarely uses her upper chest voice (B4-E5), instead she opts for her head voice and falsetto. Her falsetto is incredibly light, and Del Rey has no issues staying in this register for extensive periods. The head voice is fuller and almost operatic (Brite Lites). Though not utilized often, her upper chest voice is projected well. Overall her voice starts off very dark at the bottom, before becoming remarkably bright at the top."

"text": "Sports Perro Aguayo Jr. Death: Autopsy Shows Mexican Wrestler Died From Broken Neck After Kick By Rey Mysterio Jr. [VIDEO]Like Twitter Email By Michael Duarte | Mar 26 2015, 08:42AM EDTman delivers a wreath during the funeral of professional wrestler Pedro Aguayo Ramirez aka 'Perro Aguayo Jr' in Guadalajara city on March 22, 2015 Pedro Aguayo Ramirez died in hospital after suffering a cervical injury in a Mexican wrestling fight on Friday night. HECTOR GUERRERO/AFP/Getty Images The autopsy results are in on legendary Mexican wrestler, Pedro Aguayo Ramirez Jr ., known in the lucha libre circuits as “Hijo del Perro Aguayo” after he died in the ring on Friday while competing in a match in Tijuana, Mexico. According to Ernest Franco, the official doctor for the Tijuana Wrestling Commission, Aguayo died of a heart attack that he suffered after a broken neck in the ring at the feet of another legendary wrestler, Rey Mysterio Jr. According to the results, Aguayo’s spinal cord was severed when he was kicked in the head by Rey Mysterio Jr. Shortly after the kick, Aguayo suffered a cervical stroke that prompted the heart attack that eventually killed him. After the injury, Aguayo immediately fell on to the ropes of the ring and lay there unconscious while the match continued. Police are currently investigating the incident to determine whether or not manslaughter charges should be brought upon Rey Mysterio Jr. who’s real name is Oscar Guiterrez. However, the President of the Tijuana Wrestling Commission, Juan Carlos Pelayo, believes that the death was not Misterio’s fault, and that no negligence occurred. Fans of the sport have criticized the wrestling commission after video of the tragedy surfaced online showing the slowness of medical help arriving to Aguayo. After falling unconscious, the match continued for nearly two minutes before any medical personnel arrived. Even after help arrived, it took another 80 seconds for a doctor to get to Aguayo to determine what was wrong."
