Eudaimonia ( Greek: εὐδαιμονία [eu̯dai̯moníaː] ), sometimes anglicized as eudaemonia or eudemonia / juː d ɪ ˈ m oʊ n i ə /, is a Greek word commonly translated as happiness or welfare; however, \"\"human flourishing or prosperity \"\" has been proposed as a more accurate translation. [ 1] Etymologically, it consists of the words \"\" eu \"\" (\"\"good\"\") and \"\" daimōn \"\" (\"\"spirit\"\"). It is a central concept in Aristotelian ethics and political philosophy, along with the terms \"\" aretē \"\", most often translated as \"\" virtue \"\" or \"\"excellence\"\", and \"\" phronesis \"\", often translated as \"\"practical or ethical wisdom\"\". [ 2] In Aristotle 's works, eudaimonia (based on older Greek tradition) was used as the term for the highest human good, and so it is the aim of practical philosophy, including ethics and political philosophy, to consider (and also experience) what it really is, and how it can be achieved. Discussion of the links between virtue of character (ethikē aretē) and happiness (eudaimonia) is one of the central concerns of ancient ethics, and a subject of much disagreement. As a result there are many varieties of eudaimonism. Two of the most influential forms are those of Aristotle [3] and the Stoics. Aristotle takes virtue and its exercise to be the most important constituent in eudaimonia but acknowledges also the importance of external goods such as health, wealth, and beauty." }, { "docid": "D3760#0", "title": "http://www3.sympatico.ca/saburns/pg0405.htm\nDifferent Kinds of Ethics", "text": "\"Different Kinds of Ethics Introduction As an individual, you can choose to deal with the ebb and flow of daily life in only three possible ways -You can sit there and do nothing, waiting for and taking whatever lumps and favours the flow of events might bestow upon you -- the life strategy typical of plants and couch potatoes;You can act on the whim of the moment, without thought for the consequences, and hope for the best (however you choose to understand \"\"best\"\") -- the life strategy typical of \"\"non-rational\"\" animals, and those whose life strategy is to \"\"go with the flow\"\"; or You can try to understand and predict (locally, and however approximately) the flow of events and choose to act in ways that appear to you to most likely result in \"\"better\"\" consequences (however you choose to understand \"\"better\"\") -- the life strategy typical of \"\"rational\"\" animals.

Be one.\"\" - Marcus Aurelius A brief definition of Virtue Ethics: \"\"Virtue Ethics is a classification within Normative Ethics that attempts to discover and classify what might be deemed of moral character, and to apply the moral character as a base for one's choices and actions. \"\" The general concept behind Virtue Ethics is that it focuses on what the individual should choose for his/her own personal inward behavior (character) rather than the individual relying solely on the external laws and customs of the person's culture, and if a person's character is good then so ought the person's choices and actions be good. There is value in the ideals of Virtue Ethics, namely the value of directing the individual's attention away from following popular opinion while placing the attention back upon the individual him/herself. If the words \"\"virtue,\"\" \"\"ethic,\"\" and \"\"moral\"\" held clarity of definitions, then Virtue Ethics would surely become an excellent source of knowledge and teaching. Unfortunately, virtue, ethic, and moral have not yet been given a clarity of definitions, and so at present Virtue Ethics is not as effective as it could be, and within another view, Virtue Ethics may have become but one more variation of an external rule or custom for the student to follow. If a student does not yet know the origins and nature of virtue, ethics, and morals, then the student must accept the teacher's teachings to be true, and the student will still be following an external rule little different than if the student were following a social law or custom. Virtue ought to have been the most simple of things to be defined within philosophy, but the word has not yet been given a clarification of meaning, and if virtue is still an unknown to western philosophy after three-thousand years, then western philosophy has not yet recognized the simplicity of virtue's origins.

Critics tend either to avoid discussing the judgment of art or they dismiss it as a contemporary impossibility. However, ethical criticism is nonetheless practiced, albeit only occasionally and in an under-theorized manner. This paper calls for a reconceptualization of ethical judgment in art criticism, a reconceptualization that brings art into explicit relation with ethics. Key Words art criticism, ethics, judgment, justice Justice . . . is a matter of judgment, and about nothing does public opinion everywhere seem to be in happier agreement than that no one has the right to judge somebody else. [ 1]When Arendt wrote this she was reflecting on responses to her book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. As Arendt explains, justice demands judgment and it was Eichmann’s inability to judge the moral status of Nazi ideology which paved the way for him to commit the crimes he did. On this understanding, the exercise of judgment is central both to guiding our behavior and to our understanding of relationships with others.

Specifically, narrative ethicists take the practices of storytelling, listening, and bearing empathetic, careful witness to these stories to be central to understanding and evaluating not just the unique circumstances of particular lives, but the wider moral contexts within which we all exist. In telling stories, they suggest, we both create and reveal who we think we are as moral agents and as persons; in granting these stories uptake—that is, in giving them epistemic credibility—we help to mold and sustain the moral identities of others, as well as our own. Thus, theorists engaged in narratively-based moral scholarship take stories to be foundational for how we view the world and our place in it, arguing that they are the means through which we can make ourselves morally intelligible to ourselves and to others. At their best, narrative methodologies offer non-ideal, epistemically rich approaches—that are not grounded in strict, juridical principles—to a number of philosophical discourses, including those central to questions of morality, identity, and social justice. At their most worrisome, they appear to be merely loosely-related notions about the constitutive roles of stories in moral theory and practice that do not easily lend themselves to rigorous moral justifications, epistemic explanations, or the guiding of action, raising concerns about the theoretical and practical soundness of the whole endeavor.

Introduction Even as a relatively new set of moral discourses and practices, narrative ethics has made its presence known. Among the areas within philosophy in which the influence of narrative has been particularly influential are biomedical ethics and feminist ethics. While this entry will only minimally touch on the former, the focus on the latter requires some qualification: While the themes, concerns, and ideas that connect feminist ethics and narrative theory are philosophically significant, this is not to suggest that all (or even most) of feminist ethics employs narrative methodologies, or that all (or most) feminist ethicists are narrativists." }, { "docid": "D1481211#0", "title": "http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2011/02/10/what-good-life/\nWhat Is a Good Life?", "text": "Email Print Tweet What Is a Good Life? Ronald Dworkin February 10, 2011 Issue Morality and Happiness Plato and Aristotle treated morality as a genre of interpretation. They tried to show the true character of each of the main moral and political virtues (such as honor, civic responsibility, and justice), first by relating each to the others, and then to the broad ethical ideals their translators summarize as personal “happiness.” Here I use the terms “ethical” and “moral” in what might seem a special way. Moral standards prescribe how we ought to treat others; ethical standards, how we ought to live ourselves. The happiness that Plato and Aristotle evoked was to be achieved by living ethically; and this meant living according to independent moral principles. We can—many people do—use either “ethical” or “moral” or both in a broader sense that erases this distinction, so that morality includes what I call ethics, and vice versa. But we would then have to recognize the distinction I draw in some other form in order to ask whether our ethical desire to lead good lives for ourselves provides a justifying moral reason for our concern with what we owe to others. Any of these different forms of expression would allow us to pursue the interesting idea that moral principles should be interpreted so that being moral makes us happy in the sense Plato and Aristotle meant. In my book Justice for Hedgehogs —from which this essay is adapted—I try to pursue that interpretive project." }, { "docid": "D2261869#0", "title": "http://people.whitman.edu/~frierspr/smith4.htm\n.", "text": "Intrinsic Value, Environmental Ethics, and Adam Smith For better or worse, intrinsic value is a central concept in contemporary environmental ethics. J. Baird Callicott claims that “How to discover intrinsic value in nature is the defining problem for environmental ethics” (Callicott 1999: 241). In Environmental Ethics, Holmes Rolston III claims that “Environmental ethics asks: What is an appropriate attitude toward [Nature]? Has it any value?” ( Rolston 1988: 197). Within environmental ethics, there are two central debates about intrinsic value. First, environmental pragmatists such as Lori Gruen, Bryan Norton, and Andrew Light call into question the importance of concepts like intrinsic value, suggesting a pragmatic turn towards an environmental ethics that avoids tricky meta-ethical issues – the “albatross” or “morass” of intrinsic value (Morito 2003; Turner 1996: 88) – in favor of more important normative discussions about actions and attitudes. Against this trend, philosophers such as Callicott and Rolston defend the importance of intrinsic value. Second, among those who agree that intrinsic value is important, there is disagreement about whether intrinsic value should be understood to be an objective property of the world independent of human valuings (Rolston’s view) or a property that entities in the world have by virtue of some relationship to human attitudes (the view of Robert Elliot, and, arguably, of Callicott). This paper offers a theory of intrinsic value that will be new within environmental ethics, one that straddles the divides between pragmatists, objectivists, and subjectivists." }, { "docid": "D687850#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantian_ethics\nKantian ethics", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Part of a series on Immanuel Kant Major works Critique of Pure Reason Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?

Hegel David Hume Arthur Schopenhauer Baruch Spinoza African Spir Johannes Tetens Related topics Schopenhauer's criticism German idealism Neo-Kantianismv t e Kantian ethics refers to a deontological ethical theory ascribed to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The theory, developed as a result of Enlightenment rationalism, is based on the view that the only intrinsically good thing is a good will; an action can only be good if its maxim – the principle behind it – is duty to the moral law. Central to Kant's construction of the moral law is the categorical imperative, which acts on all people, regardless of their interests or desires. Kant formulated the categorical imperative in various ways. His principle of universalizability requires that, for an action to be permissible, it must be possible to apply it to all people without a contradiction occurring. If a contradiction occurs the act violates Aristotle's \"\"Non-contradiction\"\" concept which states that just actions cannot lead to contradictions [1]. Kant's formulation of humanity, the second section of the Categorical Imperative, states that as an end in itself humans are required never to treat others merely as a means to an end, but always, additionally, as ends in themselves [2]. The formulation of autonomy concludes that rational agents are bound to the moral law by their own will, while Kant's concept of the Kingdom of Ends requires that people act as if the principles of their actions establish a law for a hypothetical kingdom. Kant also distinguished between perfect and imperfect duties. A perfect duty, such as the duty not to lie, always holds true; an imperfect duty, such as the duty to give to charity, can be made flexible and applied in particular time and place. American philosopher Louis Pojman has cited Pietism, political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the modern debate between rationalism and empiricism, and the influence of natural law as influences on the development of Kant's ethics." }, { "docid": "D2247885#0", "title": "http://cogweb.ucla.edu/Debate/SingerPM.html\n.", "text": "\"Peter Singer Ethics in the Age of Evolutionary Psychology Francis Steen, 7 March 2000Peter Singer is a prominent philosopher/bio-ethicist whose recent appointment to a chair in bio-ethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values was covered on the front page of the New York Times; see Princeton Appointment Creates an Uproar (local copy).

The following comments are intended to help the you to avoid the most common misunderstandings and appreciate the sort of outlook that characterizes what Kant takes to be the heart of the ethical life. Kant's ethical theory is often cited as the paradigm of a deontological theory. Although the theory certainly can be seriously criticized, it remains probably the finest analysis of the bases of the concepts of moral principle and moral obligation. Kant's endeavor to ground moral duty in the nature of the human being as essentially a rational being marks him as the last great Enlightenment thinker. In spite of the fact that his critical philosophy in epistemology and metaphysics brought an end to The Age of Reason, in ethics his attempt to derive the form of any ethical duty from the very nature of a rational being is the philosophical high water mark of the Enlightenment's vision of humanity as essentially and uniquely rational. What Kant aims to provide is a \"\"metaphysics of morals\"\" in the sense of an analysis of the grounds of moral obligation in the nature of a rational being. In other words, Kant aims to deduce his ethical theory purely by a priori reasoning from the concept of what it is to be a human person as a rational agent. The fact that people have the faculty of being able to use reason to decide how to act expresses the fundamental metaphysical principle -the basis or foundation in the nature of reality - on which Kant's ethical theory is erected. Kant begins his treatise, The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals with the famous dramatic sentence:\"\"Nothing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even out of it, which can be called good without qualification, except a good will. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D3761#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics\nEthics", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Ethics (disambiguation).

Meyer Some years ago, sociologist Raymond Baumhart asked business people, \"\"What does ethics mean to you?\"\" Among their replies were the following:\"\"Ethics has to do with what my feelings tell me is right or wrong.\"\" \"\" Ethics has to do with my religious beliefs.\"\" \"\" Being ethical is doing what the law requires.\"\" \"\" Ethics consists of the standards of behavior our society accepts.\"\" \"\" I don't know what the word means. \"\" These replies might be typical of our own." }, { "docid": "D1220140#0", "title": "https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-it-phenomenology/\nPhenomenological Approaches to Ethics and Information Technology", "text": "Phenomenological Approaches to Ethics and Information Technology First published Sat Feb 19, 2005; substantive revision Thu Jun 29, 2017Information and communication technology (simply referred to as ‘information technology’ here) is changing many aspects of human endeavour and existence. This is beyond dispute for most. What are contested are the social and ethical implications of these changes. Possible sources of these disputes are the multiple ways in which one can conceptualize and interpret the information technology/society interrelationship. Each of these ways of conceptualization and interpretation enables one to see the information technology/society relationship differently and therefore construe its social and ethical implications in a different manner. At the center of this technology/society interrelationship we find many complex questions about the nature of the human, the technical, agency, autonomy, freedom and much more. This is indeed a vast intellectual landscape, which can obviously not be explored here in its fullness. This entry is about just one particular perspective on this landscape. It is primarily concerned with the phenomenological approach to interpreting information technology and its social and ethical implications. It should be noted from the start that there is not a unified phenomenological tradition or approach to information technology in particular, or other phenomena more generally." }, { "docid": "D3369700#0", "title": "http://www.fes.de/fulltext/iez/00710a.htm\n.", "text": "\"SECTION of DOCUMENT: Introduction: Freedom of the press - where to draw the line?

Contents Introduction The Good The Right Confusion Between the Good and the Right Why It Matters Meta-ethics: Good vs. Right Advice – Use Goodness Language References Revision History Introduction There are two ways of thinking about ethics, which manifest themselves as two clusters of concepts and language, or domains of discourse, used to recommend or command specific actions or habits of character. They may be called the Good and the Right. The good has to do with achievement of goals; the right, with laws and rules. The goodness paradigm recognizes that people have desires and aspirations, and frames values in terms of what enables a being to achieve its ends. The rightness paradigm recognizes that people live in groups that require organization and regulations, and frames values in terms of duty and conformance to rules. Goodness and rightness “are not complementary portions of the moral field but alternative ways of organizing the whole field to carry out the tasks of morality.”" } ]

This is not a bad thing in itself, as fans want to aesthetically idealize the leading characters, and it is the actors’ job to portray characters convincingly, so it is a necessity that leading actors look the part, additional to their ability to play the part. The same is true of fashion and advertizing, as a good-looking model is required to idealize the clothes on display or the product/service offered. Of course this does not apply to the membership of the Aryanist movement. Just as the NSDAP inner circle was far from flawless in physical appearance, we have no objection at all to physically unremarkable non-Jews joining us. But this does not mean we should set no standard for appearance as a racial ideal, as some other movements do. What we ourselves look like does not matter, but what type we consider to be beautiful reflects our idealism, and therefore matters a lot. In short, we seek for the members of our movement not necessarily uniformity in appearance, but agreement in vision on human beauty.

Emerging Voices What does it mean to be an American? Sarah Song Dædalus, Spring 2009It is often said that being an American means sharing a commitment to a set of values and ideals. 1Writing about the relationship of ethnicity and American identity, the historian Philip Gleason put it this way: To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals of liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American. 2To take the motto of the Great Seal of the United States, E pluribus unum – \"\"From many, one\"\" – in this context suggests not that manyness should be melted down into one, as in Israel Zangwill's image of the melting pot, but that, as the Great Seal's sheaf of arrows suggests, there should be a coexistence of many-in-one under a unified citizenship based on shared ideals. Of course, the story is not so simple, as Gleason himself went on to note. America's history of racial and ethnic exclusions has undercut the universalist stance; for being an American has also meant sharing a national culture, one largely defined in racial, ethnic, and religious terms. And while solidarity can be understood as \"\"an experience of willed affiliation,\"\" some forms of American solidarity have been less inclusive than others, demanding much more than simply the desire to affiliate." }, { "docid": "D3323388#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nicolaus_Copernicus/Archive_5\nTalk:Nicolaus Copernicus/Archive 5", "text": "\"Talk: Nicolaus Copernicus/Archive 5From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia< Talk: Nicolaus Copernicusnavigation search This is an archive of past discussions.

Bryan Thomas/Getty Imagesby Ashley Crossman Updated May 11, 2017The sociology of race and ethnicity is a large and vibrant subfield within sociology in which researchers and theorists focus on the ways that social, political, and economic relations interact with race and ethnicity in a given society, region, or community. Topics and methods in this subfield are wide-ranging, and the development of the field dates back to the early 20th century. Introduction to the Subfield The sociology of race and ethnicity began to take shape in the late 19th century. The American sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois, who was the first African American to earn a Ph. D. at Harvard, is credited with pioneering the subfield within the United States with his famous and still widely taught books The Souls of Black Folk and Black Reconstruction. However, the subfield today differs greatly from its early stages. When early American sociologists focused on race and ethnicity, du Bois excepted, they tended to focus on the concepts of integration, acculturation, and assimilation, in keeping with the view of the U. S. as a \"\"melting pot\"\" into which difference should be absorbed. Concerns during the early 20th century were for teaching those who differed visually, culturally, or linguistically from the white Ango-Saxon norms how to think, speak, and act in accordance with them. This approach to studying race and ethnicity framed those who were not white Anglo-Saxon as problems that needed to be solved and was directed primarily by sociologists who were white men from middle to upper-class families." }, { "docid": "D1715441#0", "title": "http://blogs.ancestry.com/techroots/unraveling-the-science-behind-ethnicity-estimation/\nUnraveling the Science Behind Ethnicity Estimation", "text": "\"Posted by Julie Granka on October 24, 2013 in DNA, Science A small tube of your saliva can reveal a lot about your family history hundreds and even thousands of years ago.

What race means, the characteristics and features that we attach to it and the classifications within it (whether Black, White, Asian, and the like), is not static or primordial, but dynamic and changeable. The meaning of race, then, is conditioned on and by an always shifting, societal context. For example, at the turn of the previous century, race was constructed as biological. Distinct racial classifications were understood as reflecting genetic and morphological differences, observable by phenotype. Racial disparities and inequities were explained in biological terms linked to ideas of racial inferiority and superiority. The notion of race as rooted in biology, with consequent outcomes linked to ascribed deficiencies, or racism, is understood today as an attempt by the dominant (white) group to protect their material interests, like Southern plantation owners who relied on slave labor to maximize their profits during the pre-industrial era. In this way, the social construction of race as “biological” — in the absence of any hard proof or genetic evidence — emerged as a social fact to reproduce racial inequality. Today we are much less likely to associate racial group membership with genetic endowments. [ 1] At the same time, the concept and category of race as a distinct social group persists in the contemporary period." } ]

Sumner. Gumplowicz defined ethnocentrism as the reasons by virtue of which each people believed it had always occupied the highest point not only among contemporaneous peoples and nations but also in relation to all peoples of the historical past [6] (Der Rassenkampf, 1883). Sumner relied on observing the tendency for people to differentiate between the in-group and others, disseminating it in his 1906 work Folkways: A Study of the Sociological Importance of Usages, Manners, Customs, Mores, and Morals. He defined it as \"\"the technical name for the view of things in which one's own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it.\"\" He further characterized it as often leading to pride, vanity, beliefs of one's own group's superiority, and contempt of outsiders.

Given the automatic influence of one’s own culture, when people compare their culture to others, they often conclude that their own group is superior. An even more extreme reaction is xenophobia, a fear of strangers and foreigners. Clearly, businesspeople who take these view are not likely to communicate successfully across cultures. Distorted views of other cultures or groups also result from stereotyping, assigning a wide range of generalized attributes to an individual on the basis of membership in a particular culture or social group. For instance, assuming that an older colleague will be out of touch with the youth market or that a younger colleague cannot be an inspiring leader are examples of stereotyping age groups. Those who want to show respect for other people and to communicate effectively in business need to adopt a more positive viewpoint, in the form of cultural pluralism- the practice of accepting multiple cultures on their own terms. When crossing cultural boundaries, you will be even more effective if you move beyond simple acceptance and adapt your communication style to that of the new cultures you encounter- even integrating aspects of those cultures into your own. A few simple habits can help. Avoid assumptions: Do not assume that others will act the same way you do, use language and symbols the same way you do, or even operate from the same values and beliefs." }, { "docid": "D3324356#0", "title": "http://www.outlookafghanistan.net/topics.php?post_id=8849\nEthnocentrism â A War-Provoking Issue", "text": "Home » Opinion » Ethnocentrism – A War-Provoking Issue Ethnocentrism – A War-Provoking Issue December 12, 2013 | Hujjatullah Zia“You are not big enough to accuse the whole age effectively, but let us say you are in dissent.

Myths about Human Communication To begin studying communication, consider the relationship between some common beliefs about communication and research and theory about these beliefs.- Belief: The more you communicate, the better your communication will be.- Research and theory finds that if you practice bad habits, you are more likely to grow less effective as a communicator.- Belief: When two people are in a close relationship, neither person should have to explicitly communicate needs and wants.- Research and theory indicates that people are not mind readers and to assume otherwise inhibits open and honest communication.- Belief: Interpersonal or group conflict is a reliable sign that the relationship or group is in trouble.- Research and theory suggests that interpersonal and group conflict is inevitable and if approached effectively can be beneficial to the relationship or group.- Belief: Like good communicators, leaders are born, not made.- Research and theory finds that leadership, like communication and listening, is a learned skill.- Belief: Fear of public speaking is detrimental and must be eliminated.- Research indicates that most speakers are nervous; learning to manage anxiety effectively can enhance one’s performance. Skills of Human Communication Communication skills are vital to successful personal, social, and work life. These skills include the following:- Self-presentation skills – presenting one’s self to others as confident, credible, likeable, and approachable is essential to effective human interaction.- Relationship skills – knowing how to initiate, maintain, repair, and even occasionally dissolve relationships makes one a better friend, family member, romantic partner, and coworker.- Interviewing skills – being able to interact to gather and to share information in a variety of situations, including job interviews, enhances one’s personal and professional life.- Group interaction and leadership skills – participating as an effective group member in relationship and task groups adds to the strength and success of the group.- Presentation skills – speaking to small and large audiences to inform or to persuade builds self-confidence and can serve a larger common good. Forms of Human Communication Learning these skills requires engaging in and mastering a variety of communication forms:- Intrapersonal – through communication with oneself, one learns about one’s self and rehearses messages intended for others- Interpersonal – through communication between two people, communicators learn about themselves and the other, reveal themselves to the other, and build, maintain, repair, and occasionally terminate relationships.- Interviewing – through communication that proceeds by question and answer, communicators gather and share information, counsel or get counseling, obtain employment and select others for employment.- Small Group – through communication within small groups (5 to 10 people), communicators develop new ideas, solve problems, and share knowledge and experiences.- Public – by communicating as a speaker to an audience, one learns how to connect with an audience to inform and to persuade.- Computer-mediated – by studying and analyzing communication that occurs through computer connections (e.g., e-mail, IM, chat rooms, newsgroups, blogs) one learns the differences and similarities between CMC and face-to-face communication as well as how to be a critical user of not only CMC but also other forms of communication.- Mass communication (e.g., newspapers, magazines, radio, television, film)– Media literacy – the skills and competencies needed to become a wiser, more critical consumer has become central to the study of human communication. Communication Models and Concepts Human communication has been studied from a variety of viewpoints:• The linear view held that the speaker spoke and the listener listened, communicating in a straight line.• The transactional view, a more satisfying view than either the linear model, holds that each person serves simultaneously as speaker and listener. The transactional model also holds that the elements of communication are interdependent; a change in any element of the process produces changes in the other elements. Communication occurs when you send and receive messages and when you assign meaning to others’ signals. All human communication:- is distorted by noise- occurs with a context- has some effect- involves some opportunity for feedback Sources-Receivers – each person involved in communication is both a source (speaker) and receiver (listener), hence the hyphenated term.

The ethnocentric attitude assumes that one's own ethnic Weltanschauung (worldview) is the only one from which other customs, practices, and habits can be understood and judged. Ethnocentrism thus is conceived critically as involving overgeneralizations about cultures and their inhabitants, others' or one's own, on the basis of limited or skewed, if any, evidence. So the notion of ethnocentrism is conceived as a profound failure to understand other conceptual schemes, and, by extension, practices, habits, expressions, and articulations of others on their own terms. Standing inside our own conceptual schemes, we are blinded even to the possibilities of other ways of thinking, seeing, understanding, and interpreting the world, of being and belonging—in short, other ways of worldmaking. It would seem to follow, as many definitions in fact insist, that ethnocentrism is a claim about the superiority of one's own culture or ethnic standing. While this is perhaps a strong presumption in many ethnocentric claims, we should be careful not to make it definitionally so. One can imagine claims of inherent and inescapably culture-bound judgments about ethnically ascribed others, about inherent differences, without assumption or assertion of cultural superiority. If there is any coherence to the concept, \"\"differentialist ethnocentrism\"\" must factor into any working definition of the term as well. As an analytic concept, ethnocentrism took hold only in the late 1960s and 1970s, and the word did not appear in authoritative dictionaries until the mid-1970s." }, { "docid": "D2404411#0", "title": "http://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/sociology-comprehensive-edition/s06-culture.html\nChapter 3 Culture", "text": "\"Chapter 3 Culture Social Issues in the News“Cows With Gas,” the headline said.

But one problem of this abundance of cows is the methane gas they excrete as they burp and belch. They emit so much methane that scientists think Indian cows, along with some 180 million sheep and goats, are a significant cause of global warming. One reason Indian livestock emit so much methane, aside from their sheer numbers, is that they are underfed and undernourished; better diets would reduce their methane emission. However, India is such a poor country that the prospect of a better diet for livestock remains years away, and the problem of cows with gas will continue for some time to come.

( December 2007)This article needs additional citations for verification. ( May 2008)Transculturation is a term coined by Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz in 1947 [1] to describe the phenomenon of merging and converging cultures. Transculturation encompasses more than transition from one culture to another; it does not consist merely of acquiring another culture (acculturation) or of losing or uprooting a previous culture (deculturation). Rather, it merges these concepts and additionally carries the idea of the consequent creation of new cultural phenomena (neoculturation). [ 2] Ortiz also referred to the devastating impact of Spanish colonialism on Cuba's indigenous peoples as a \"\"failed transculturation\"\". Transculturation can often be the result of colonial conquest and subjugation, especially in a postcolonial era as native peoples struggle to regain their own sense of identity. In simple terms, transculturation reflects the natural tendency of people (in general) to resolve conflicts over time, rather than exacerbating them.

The world ethno comes from Greek and refers to a people, nation, or cultural grouping, while centric comes from Latin and refers, of course to the centre. The term ethnocentrism then refers to the tendency for each society to place its own culture patterns at the centre of things. Ethnocentrism is the practice of comparing other cultural practices with those of one's own and automatically finding those other cultural practices to be inferior. It is the habit of each group taking for granted the superiority of its culture. It makes our culture into a yardstick with which to measure all other cultures as good or bad, high or low, right or queer in proportion as they resemble ours.

Generally speaking an exclusive stance on ethnocentrism is a characteristic of a certain kind of nationalism and in itself shows an illiberal and essentially undemocratic political attitude. This kind of exclusivism often leads to conflict and there are several examples of this in the last 100 years especially where two nationalisms clash, as in the case of the last phase of Greco-Turkish Wars (1919-1922), and populations are exchanged. Population exchange was experimented with when India and Pakistan gained independence in the late 1940s, but rather than accept that a community might retain some groups amounting to mixed ethnicity and certain amount of cosmopolitanism, a kind of madness gripped the affected groups and they turned on each other, in some cases where there had been peaceful co-existence for years. The work of Muller, Sternberger and Habermas suggests an alternative to an ethnocentric form of 'patriotism', i.e. constitutional patriotism.

At the most fundamental level, problems may occur when one or more of the people involved clings to an ethnocentric view of how to conduct business. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one's own cultural group is somehow innately superior to others.

Yet difficulties due to a misunderstanding of elements in cross-cultural communication may affect even enlightened people.

It was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the 20th century and later popularized by his students. Boas first articulated the idea in 1887: \"\"civilization is not something absolute, but ... is relative, and ... our ideas and conceptions are true only so far as our civilization goes\"\". [ 1] However, Boas did not coin the term. Neither did the 21st century relativist James Lawrence Wray-Miller.

[ 2] The term became common among anthropologists after Boas' death in 1942, to express their synthesis of a number of ideas Boas had developed. Boas believed that the sweep of cultures, to be found in connection with any sub species, is so vast and pervasive that there cannot be a relationship between cultures and races.

Ethosor the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author’s credibility or character. An author would use ethos to show to his audience that he is a credible source and is worth listening to. Ethos is the Greek word for “character.” The word “ethic” is derived from ethos. Ethos can be developed by choosing language that is appropriate for the audience and topic (also means choosing proper level of vocabulary), making yourself sound fair or unbiased, introducing your expertise or pedigree, and by using correct grammar and syntax.

Persuasion is at the root of most of what we do in the academy. This is most obvious for our research, which is often presented in the form of an argument intended to convince our discipline. Teaching is persuading students to take a topic seriously, to understand its questions and possible answers, and to put in the hard work of learning. Even service is an attempt to convince our colleagues and institutions to do this and not that. It would behoove us, then, to learn something about persuasion. Let’s take a page from Aristotle’s Rhetoric: Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself. These three modes of persuasion can be called respectively ethos ( ἦθος —disposition or character), pathos ( πάθος —emotion or passion), and logos ( λόγος —argument or discourse).

Instead, based on three types of argument-- ethos, pathos, logos --Jefferson proves his case that the American colonies have no choice but the separate from Great Britain. The principle of ethos is to prove to the audience/reader that the writer is a reasonable person and is therefore credible. Jefferson does this very skilfully in the first line of the Declaration when he announces to the world that the Declaration is written out of respect for those who must judge the rightness or wrongness of the colonies' decision to break with Great Britain:a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Jefferson creates a tone of reasonableness and respect even before he begins to enumerate the reasons for the separation. This tone establishes his credibility (his ethos ), which is a critical part of his ability to argue the colonies' case. Establishing pathos requires that Jefferson elicit feelings or emotions from audience, which he accomplishes in the second paragraph of the Declaration: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. This line is, of course, arguably the most important sentence in the Declaration, but from a rhetorical standpoint, it has the effect of bringing out the audience's emotions connected to its collective belief that all men are entitled to life, liberty and happiness. Although some of Jefferson's audience may not believe that all men are created equal--such a belief depends on one's definition of what constitutes a man--but the belief that all men have the inherent right to life, liberty and happiness would evoke an emotional response in his audience.

A speech can be a powerful tool for many reasons. In many cases, speeches are simply used as a way of telling a story or to deliver a message. In this sense, if the speaker isn’t careful, it’s easy to make the speech feel one directional. However, when a speaker gives a speech of persuasion they intend to enact a response in the audience, or ‘receiver of the message’, creating multiple channels of communication. These types of speeches can range anywhere from a political debate to a simple sales pitch. The common goal in persuasive speeches is to influence the audience’s view on a certain subject – whether that means changing their opinion completely or simply strengthening an already existing view. In order to best accomplish this, speakers use a variety of arguments and strategies, most of which can be summed up into the three rhetorical appeals: ethos, logos, and pathos. When used effectively, these three appeals can be powerful tools for achieving a speaker’s persuasive goal.

Blackfish, a documentary by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, makes the claim that killer whales should be freed from their captive enclosures in entertainment facilities due to the danger they pose towards humans and themselves. This film is a perfect example of how these rhetorical components are used to create an effective argument. The film, Blackfish, mainly targets an audience of the general public with an emphasis on the customers of Sea World. It is meant to inform viewers on the inhumane treatment and unlivable conditions of whales at amusement parks- namely Sea World. Blackfish uses logic in its claim that an orca is an intellectual being that is cognizant of its surroundings and human interactions. It uses this claim to help argue that the orcas in captivity at Sea World do not belong there and are suffering mentally. The film uses reasoning to support this claim by saying that orcas have a limbic system that is more complex than humans; researchers cannot explain the depths of the animals understanding because we can not relate to their brain structure." }, { "docid": "D2247552#0", "title": "https://blog.udemy.com/interpersonal-communication-skills/\nInterpersonal Communication Skills: What They Are and How to Improve Them?", "text": "Interpersonal Communication Skills: What They Are and How to Improve Them?

The art of persuading others to your point of view relies on different arguments for different individuals, and these must be used in conjunction with each other to successfully make your case. Aristotle believed that the art of persuasion required the understanding of the three basic ways to influence your audience: Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. Knowing these three tactics will allow any speaker to appeal to his audience’s sense of authority, logic or their emotions. Ethos: Man’s Morals and Habits The first part of Aristotle’s triumvirate of persuasion is Ethos, which is the Greek word that means “customs” or “habit” and has the connotation of referring to a person’s moral code and their character. When Aristotle spoke of this term, he was referring to the need for the speaker to appeal to the audience’s belief in the authority and honesty of the speaker – essentially the speaker needs to establish credibility or authority and then remind the audience of those qualities and justifications. Making yourself seem more credible or appear to be an authority on a subject improves persuasiveness because people tend to believe those they respect. The trustworthiness of the speaker relying on Ethos is built on a variety of different levels, the most common of which are: Similarity to the audience: audiences are more likely to be persuaded by someone they can relate to or they feel looks and sounds like them. Authority: this is based on the experience or role of the speaker. A college astronomy professor is viewed as more reliable than a yoga instructor when speaking about comets; knowing the speaker through the former role is more persuasive even if that teacher moonlights as a yoga instructor on the weekends." }, { "docid": "D829411#0", "title": "http://www.innovateus.net/innopedia/what-rhetorical-triangle\nWhat is a rhetorical triangle?", "text": "What is a rhetorical triangle?

Learning Objectives Identify the qualities of a persuasive speech Key Takeaways Key Points Persuasive speeches can come in many forms, such as sales pitches, debates, and legal proceedings. Persuasive speeches may utilize the three modes of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is the most important appeal in a persuasive speech. Factors such as body language, the willingness of the audience, and the environment in which the speech is given, all affect the success of a persuasive speech. Audience Analysis is important in a persuasive speech, as the audience will be convinced for their own reasons, not for the speaker’s reasons. Key Termspersuasion: the process aimed at changing a person’s (or a group’s) attitude or behavior Logos: logical appeal to the audience; does the speaker’s argument make sense?pathos: emotional appeal to the audience Audience Analysis: the speaker’s understanding of the audience’s knowledge, personal experience, and proximity to a topicethos: credibility of the speaker, assigned to them by the audience Definition A persuasive speech is a specific type of speech in which the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to accept his or her point of view. The speech is arranged in such a way as to hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of the expressed view. Though the overarching goal of a persuasive speech is to convince the audience to accept a perspective, not all audiences can be convinced by a single speech and not all perspectives can persuade the audience. The success of a persuasive speech is often measured by the audience’s willingness to consider the speaker’s argument." } ]

Its appealing smell and taste often tempt animals and children to drink the highly poisonous substance. Take precautions against poisoning your pets In 2012, manufacturers voluntarily agreed to add a bittering agent to antifreeze, but pet owners should still take precautions. Keep antifreeze out of the reach of animals and know the signs of antifreeze poisoning. It only takes a few tablespoons of highly toxic antifreeze to seriously jeopardize an animal's life. Families can help save their own pets from an encounter with antifreeze by closely watching the animals in areas where antifreeze may be accessible, such as roads, driveways or garages. To reduce the risk of poisoning, all brands of antifreeze should be handled carefully and treated as highly poisonous. Ensure that antifreeze is stored well away from animals and children, antifreeze spills are completely cleaned up, and leaks are immediately repaired. What you can do to protect your pets1.

Antifreeze looks a little bit like Kool-Aid as it enters a car engine. But the liquid, which comes in colors ranging from cherry red to lime green, is nothing you would want to put on a picnic table. Antifreeze is a hazardous material that can cause serious harm to humans, animals and waterways.

To make antifreeze, manufacturers add chemicals to a liquid base (usually water) to both lower its freezing point and raise its boiling point. Manufacturers also add a small dose of chemicals to prevent corrosion and foaming and balance the liquid’s p H level.

It may also be referred to by the brand name Dacron; in Britain, Terylene; [4] or, in Russia and the former Soviet Union, Lavsan. The majority of the world's PET production is for synthetic fibres (in excess of 60%), with bottle production accounting for about 30% of global demand. [ 5] In the context of textile applications, PET is referred to by its common name, polyester, whereas the acronym PET is generally used in relation to packaging. Polyester makes up about 18% of world polymer production and is the fourth-most-produced polymer; polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are first, second and third, respectively.

Unfortunately, exposure to even a small amount of antifreeze can quickly lead to death. Antifreeze poisoning in dogs is a very serious matter. Antifreeze is a common hazard during winter, but dogs can easily be exposed to it any time of year. Dogs are most likely to be poisoned if they ingest it (though it technically can be absorbed through the skin). It is believed that dogs are attracted to antifreeze because it has a sweet taste. A dog may find antifreeze in storage areas but is not uncommon to find small puddles of it in driveways, garages, and roadways. Be wary of puddles that have a greenish color or iridescent haze.

Propylene glycol rarely causes toxic effects, and then only under very unusual circumstances. Uses Propylene glycol is a Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) food additive that is widely used infood and tobacco products,pharmaceuticals, andcosmetics. In certain medicines, cosmetics, and food products, propylene glycol acts asan emulsifying agent,industrial drying agent,surfactant, andsolvent. Concentrations in Food Concentrations in foods range from <0.001% in eggs and soups to about 15% in some seasonings and flavorings. Propylene glycol is an FDA-approved additive for military dietary rations (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 1997). Use in Textiles The largest amounts of propylene glycol are used in the textile industry, where it is an intermediate in polyester fiber production. Synonyms Synonyms for propylene glycol include1,2-propanediol,1,2-dihydroxypropane,methyl glycol, andtrimethyl glycol (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 1997). Special Uses Aerosolized propylene glycol can provide dense “smoke” without flames. It is usedby the military as a smoke screen to conceal the movement of troops on the battlefield andas a smoke simulator in various types of fire-training procedures and theatrical productions De-Icing Propylene glycol is sometimes used as a de-icing agent; however, ethylene glycol is used more often because it costs less." } ]

Lesser tarsal joints may also be affected by RA and this may contribute to flatfoot in some patients. Post-traumatic OA may affect any of the tarsal joints: Subtalar OA mainly after calcaneal fractures, but also ankle/subtalar ligament injuries and peritalar dislocations Talonavicular and calcaneocuboid OA mainly after midtarsal subluxations, some of which are quite subtle Tarsometatarsal OA mainly after Lisfranc and “subtle Lisfranc” injuries Primary OA, often as part of generalised OA, is rarely commented on in textbooks, but is seen reasonably frequently in practice, especially in the TMT joints. Osteoarthritis may also occur in association with tarsal coalitions. Clinical features Subtalar joint pain is felt mainly in the lateral hindfoot on activity. If there is a valgus hindfoot or synovitis, there may be impingement pain felt mainly on lateral hindfoot deviation.

Barnes, MDPublished: August 2010Contents Gallbladder diseases Gallbladder diseases considered here include gallstones, tumors, and acute acalculous cholecystitis. Gallstones and Cholecystitis Definition and Etiology Gallbladder stones are an extremely common disorder and are usually asymptomatic. Some patients experience biliary colic, an intermittent and often severe pain in the epigastrium or right upper quadrant, and at times between the scapula because of temporary obstruction of the cystic duct with a gallstone. If the cystic duct obstruction persists, the gallbladder becomes inflamed and the patient develops cholecystitis, an acute inflammation and infection of the gallbladder. Prevalence and Risk Factors It is estimated that there are 20.5 million cases of gallbladder disease in the United States, 14.2 million of whom are in women. 1 More than 600,000 cholecystectomies per year are performed in the United States, most of which are for symptomatic gallstone disease. Epidemiologic studies have shown variations in the prevalence of gallstones in different ethnic populations, with particularly high rates in Native Americans. In addition to ethnic background, other risk factors for the development of gallstones include diabetes, rapid weight loss, morbid obesity, cirrhosis, and conditions associated with infrequent gallbladder emptying, such as total parenteral nutrition. Pathophysiology and Natural History Most gallstones are composed primarily of cholesterol, with smaller amounts of mucus, calcium bilirubinate, and protein. Pigment stones, a result of hemolysis, are less common and are made primarily of calcium bilirubinate." }, { "docid": "D460987#0", "title": "https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/nucleus-pulposus\nLearn more about Nucleus pulposus", "text": "Learn more about Nucleus pulposus General Characteristics of the Spine Gregory D.

The NP is thickest from superior to inferior in the lumbar region, followed in thickness by the cervical region; it is the thinnest in the thoracic region. It is most centrally placed within the horizontal plane in the cervical region and is more posteriorly placed in the lumbar region ( Humzah & Soames, 1988 ). The NP develops from the embryologic notochord. It is gelatinous and relatively large just after birth, and several multinucleated notochordal cells can be found within its substance ( Standring et al., 2008 ). The remnants of the notochord can be recognized in MRI scans as an irregular dark band, usually confined to the NP ( Breger et al., 1988 ).

A small device, similar to a pacemaker, is implanted in the body to deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. It helps patients better manage their chronic pain symptoms and decrease the use of opioid medications. It may be an option if you suffer chronic back, leg or arm pain and have not found relief with other therapies. What is a spinal cord stimulator? A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) device is surgically placed under your skin and sends a mild electric current to your spinal cord (Fig. 1). A small wire carries the current from a pulse generator to the nerve fibers of the spinal cord. When turned on, the SCS stimulates the nerves in the area where your pain is felt.

Each of the four tendons connects a muscle originating on the shoulder blade (scapula) to part of the upper part of the arm bone (humerus). The names of these muscle-tendon components of the rotator cuff are:the supraspinatus which runs over the top of the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head);the subscapularis which runs across the front of the humeral head; andthe infraspinatus and the teres minor which run across the back of the humeral head. Tears in the rotator cuff result from a combination of injury and weakening of the tendon from wear and tear, disuse, repeated use of steroid (cortisone) injection, and smoking. The extent of injury necessary to tear the cuff depends on the quality of the tendon. Young healthy rotator cuff tendon is almost impossible to tear. However, older, multiply injured, multiply injected tendons or tendons in a smoker may tear with no injury at all. Tears in younger individuals are more likely to extend only part way through the tendon (partial thickness tears). Tears in older individuals are more likely to tear completely through the tendon (full thickness tears) and to involve multiple tendons.

Low back pain is acute if it has a duration of about 1 month or less. Chronic low back pain is usually defined by symptoms of two months or more. Both acute and chronic low back pain can be further defined by the presence or absence of neurologic symptoms and signs. Nonspecific or nonradicular low back pain is not associated with neurologic symptoms or signs. In general, the pain is localized to the spine or paraspinal regions (or both) and does not radiate into the leg. In general, nonspecific low back pain is not associated with spinal nerve root compression. Nonspecific low back pain might or might not be associated with significant pathology on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and is often a result of simple soft tissue disorders such as strain, but it can also be caused by serious medical disorders arising in the bony spine, parameningeal, or retroperitoneal regions.

Aetna considers the Maze procedure experimental and investigational for all other indications because its effectiveness for indications other than the ones listed above has not been established. Aetna considers minimally invasive, off-pump Maze procedures, also known as thoracoscopic off-pump surgical ablation (TOPS), experimental and investigational for atrial fibrillation or flutter because there is insufficient evidence of their effectiveness. See also CPB 0019 - Holter Monitors . Background The Maze procedure is a surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in which multiple atrial incisions interrupt the pathogenic reentrant circuits and also direct the sinus impulses to the AV node along a specified route. In addition, multiple blind \"\"alleys\"\" off the main conduction route allow for activation of the entire atrium. By eliminating AF, this technique not only addresses the hemodynamic consequences of AF, it also eliminates the threat of thromboembolism AF can cause. As part of the ongoing study of this procedure, individuals typically undergo a variety of post-operative tests to evaluate the status of the atria. Unless clinically indicated by the member's signs and symptoms, these tests are considered not routinely medically necessary for post-operative evaluation. Such tests include: endocardial catheter electrophysiology study; 24-hour Holter monitor; exercise stress test; and color-flow Doppler evaluation of transmitral and transtricuspid valve flow." }, { "docid": "D484033#0", "title": "http://www.moveforwardpt.com/SymptomsConditionsDetail.aspx?cid=e46bb793-4cfa-48ec-9821-ceba2d4c54ab\nPhysical Therapist's Guide to Osteoarthritis of the Knee", "text": "\"Move Forward Guide Physical Therapist's Guide to Osteoarthritis of the Knee Jump to: What is Osteoarthritis of Knee?

Further Reading Osteoarthritis of the knee (knee OA) is the inflammation and wearing away of the cartilage on the bones that form the knee joint (osteo=bone, arthro=joint, itis=inflammation). The diagnosis of knee OA is based on 2 primary findings: radiographic evidence of changes in bone health (through medical images such as X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), and an individual’s symptoms (how you feel). Approximately 14 million people in the United States have symptomatic knee OA.

An enterocele (small bowel prolapse) occurs when the small bowel presses against and moves the upper wall of the vagina. Rectoceles and enteroceles develop if the lower pelvic muscles become damaged by labor, childbirth, or a previous pelvic surgery or when the muscles are weakened by aging. A rectocele or an enterocele can be present at birth (congenital), though this is rare. A rectocele or an enterocele may become large or more obvious when you strain or bear down (for example, during a bowel movement ). A rectocele and an enterocele may occur together, especially if you have had surgery to remove the uterus ( hysterectomy ). Because rectocele and enterocele are defects of the pelvic supporting tissue and not the bowel wall, they are treated most successfully with surgery that repairs the vaginal wall. This surgery pulls together the stretched or torn tissue in the area of prolapse. Surgery will also strengthen the wall of the vagina to prevent prolapse from recurring. Unless there is another health problem that would require an abdominal incision, rectoceles and enteroceles are usually repaired through the vagina." }, { "docid": "D1409933#0", "title": "https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000745.htm\nBenign positional vertigo - aftercare", "text": "Benign positional vertigo - aftercare You may have seen your health care provider because you have had benign positional vertigo.

[ 1] The word ‘instability’ is still poorly defined. But it is most widely believed that the loss of a normal pattern of spinal motion causes pain and/or neurologic dysfunction. The American Academy of Orthopaedics Surgeons [2] state: ‘Segmental instability is an abnormal response to applied loads, characterized by motion in motion segments beyond normal constraints.’ Panjabi published a spinal stabilization system represented by 3 subsystems: the passive, the active and the neural control subsystem. [ 1] Segmental instability is defined by Panjabi [3] “as a significant decrease in the capacity of the stabilizing system of the spine to maintain the intervertebral neutral zones within the physiological limits so that there is no neurological dysfunction, no major deformity, and no incapacitating pain.” The ability to maintain an efficient coordination between these systems would allow of the patient to function without undue stress on the tissues in the body." } ]

The patient is not unconscious, but sedated. During surgery or other medical procedures, the patient is under what is known as a \"\"twilight state\"\", where the patient is relaxed and \"\"sleepy\"\", able to follow simple directions by the doctor, and is responsive. Generally, twilight anesthesia causes the patient to forget the surgery and the time right after. It is used for a variety of surgical procedures and for various reasons. Just like regular anesthesia, twilight anesthesia is designed to help a patient feel more comfortable and to minimize pain associated with the procedure being performed and to allow the medical practitioner to practice without interruptions.

The rigid fiberoptic laryngoscopes aids with visualization of the glottic opening even when there is an inability to align the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes. Compared to conventional direct laryngoscopy the rigd fiberoptic laryngoscopes only require minimal head manipulation and positioning (3, 4). In addition, the Bullard laryngoscope can be used in patients with a mouth opening of as little as 6 mm. The Bullard laryngoscope can assist in both oral and nasal intubations (5, 6). For nasal intubations, the Bullard laryngoscope is introduced into the mouth for visualization of the vocal cords but the ETT is not loaded onto the dedicated stylet. With experience the Bullard laryngoscope allows for rapid visualization of the larynx and can be used for rapid sequence intubation. Awake intubation is possible but requires good patient preparation and considerable skill (2,7). It can be used in the pediatric population, since a pediatric sized laryngoscope and stylet are available." }, { "docid": "D2007784#0", "title": "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20767918-the-escape\nThe Escape (John Puller #3)", "text": "\"Want to Read Rate this book1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Open Preview The Escape (John Puller #3)by David Baldacci (Goodreads Author)4.15 · Rating details · 32,631 Ratings · 2,437 Reviews It's a prison unlike any other.

We hypothesized that in cats with experimental asthma, aerosol delivery of NAC (400 mg cumulative dose) via an endotracheal tube would increase airflow limitation as measured by ventilator-acquired mechanics. After endotracheal drug delivery, airway resistance and inspiratory plateau pressure (Pplat) measurements were obtained in six mechanically ventilated asthmatic cats. Results demonstrated significantly increased airway resistance ( P = 0.0007) compared with aerosolized saline control; Pplats were not significantly different ( P = 0.059). All cats exhibited at least one adverse effect: excessive airway secretions ( n = 3), spontaneous cough ( n = 2), unilateral strabismus ( n = 1) and post-anesthetic death ( n = 1). No adverse reactions were noted with saline aerosol; cough was noted in one cat with methacholine challenge.

A sensation of unsteadiness or faintness is what dizziness is all about; the more serious disorientation of vertigo usually involves a sensation where the outside world seems to be spinning for the individual. Vertigo is felt when a person felt as he or she were falling when standing on a elevated place such as a high tower-vertigo is experienced by the majority of individuals. Dizziness on the other hand has internal causative factors which may not all be accounted for - this condition can unfortunately become a permanent condition in some people - it can persist and become disabling in the long term. A variety of causes can be attributed to vertigo. By far, the most common reason for dizziness in the large majority of individuals is the feeling associated with ordinary motion sickness - which produces a queasy sensation, this along with the feeling of light-headedness which comes while traveling is normally felt by a large majority of people. Conflicting signals arising in the brain is the cause of this problem. It comes about when the eyes, which are trying to focus on constantly moving scenery, start affecting the balance center in the inner ear, this is the biological mechanisms which help in orienting the body to movements and motion - the result is that conflicting signals are received by the brain and dizziness results. It is then, usual to get a confusing, whirling and queasy sensation - dizziness is for the large part accompanied by nausea in the majority of cases. Dizziness or vertigo can often be induced by the presence of many types of medical conditions in the person - these include the decrease in blood flow towards the brain or to the inner ear, the development of ear infections, the presence of an injury to the head, the presence of heightened or low blood pressure, the presence of arrhythmias and other cardiac disorders, the presence of certain nerve disorders, and even the presence of certain forms of allergies." }, { "docid": "D3357213#0", "title": "http://www.herbalremedies.com/liverspots-supplements.html\n.", "text": "Home > Condition & Ailment Index > Age Spots / Liver Spot Information >Age Spots / Liver Spots Supplements, Information and Products for a condition where flat brown areas that appear on the body as it ages.

The sciatic nerve originates from the lowest part of your spine and serves the lower body. When the nerve gets irritated, inflamed, or compressed, unbearable pain shoots down your buttocks, to the back of your legs, and down to your feet. You may also experience numbness in the leg or feet, difficulty walking or standing, or even bladder problems and fever. Causes of sciatica: Anything from prolonged sitting on hard surfaces to carrying a large wallet can cause sciatica. Herniated disks, muscular pressure, and spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space in the spinal column through which the nerve extends) are possible causes as well. [ 5] Sciatica mostly affects people ages twenty-five to forty-five, most often the result of sudden twisting movements or the improper lifting of heavy objects. The easiest preventives for sciatica are proper posture, good physical fitness, taking special care when lifting or moving heavy objects, and a healthy lifestyle in general. In Chinese medicine there is a condition known as painful obstruction syndrome, which describes a situation in which the energy meridians and blood vessels become compressed, blocking the flow of energy and blood and causing severe pain.

The bark of the tree has been used for many centuries as a decocted tea preparation for its profound effects on increasing the overall strength of the skeletal structure. A popular herb among athletes, eucommia is known to help improve flexibility and well as increase physical energy. It is used to help fortify the bones, ligaments and tendons and is especially reinforcing to the knees, ankles and back, particularly the lumbar lower spine region. Although the bark is very a energizing substance, it is not a stimulant per se, but works as an adaptogen to both activate circulation as well as calm the nerves if needed. Studied and well documented for its blood pressure lowering qualities and actions as an anti-inflammatory agent, eucommia is a great herbal adjunct for the elderly for maintaining bone health, flexibility and structural stability. In some current research the bark extract is also shown to be of benefit to neurological functions and cognitive decline. A Yang Jing Tonic Herb Eucommia bark is a highly revered \"\"herb\"\" in Chinese herbalism and was first mentioned over 2,500 years ago in the herbal classic Shennong Ben Cao Jing, listed next to ginseng as a superior tonic herb. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is viewed as a potent Yang Jing tonic used to support the skeletal, reproductive and endocrine systems. Jing, one of the three treasures in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is viewed as the primordial life-force energy given to us at the time of our conception and is said to be stored in the kidneys, joints, ligaments, spinal column, neck and brain." }, { "docid": "D3007134#0", "title": "http://summitsips.com/2009/10/how-to-make-tonic-water/\nHow to make Tonic Water", "text": "\"How to make Tonic Water I was never a Gin & Tonic fan, but all of that changed last year when I read Jeffrey Morgenthaler's post about making tonic from scratch. Of course, his wasn't the first recipe to gain widespread attention. The resurgence of craft tonic is credited to Kevin Ludwig of Portland, Oregon whose recipe even appeared in the March/April 2007 issue of Imbibe Magazine. Having basically skipped over that recipe back then, I considered it an ingredient best left to gin drinkers, or someone who was more interested. Finally, after reading more about it and seeing craft tonic added to a cocktail I really enjoyed, I decided to give it a try. Why make something that already exists? When I first saw the Imbibe article, I was asking myself all sorts of questions. Can't you simply buy tonic water at the store? It's cheap enough, it's crystal clear, and it's essentially a commodity product--right?

Consumed for thousands of years and listed as a top major tonic in the herbal classic the Shennong Ben Cao Jing, it is one of the most widely researched of the Chinese herbs. Often referred to as the \"\"king of herbs\"\", it is well-known around the world for its energizing and immune modulating properties. Containing triterpene saponins called ginsenosides, the root tea, tinctures and extracts are supportive to the endocrine functions with influential restorative effects on the central nervous system. The etymology of the word \"\"panax\"\" in fact comes from the Greek word \"\"all heal\"\", originating from the term \"\"panacea\"\", and describes the many diverse uses for this revitalizing root. There are several varieties of ginseng that have different characteristics depending on their sourced locations. Generally, the two classifications of \"\"true ginseng\"\" are often referred to as \"\"Panax ginseng\"\" (Asian ginseng's) or \"\"American ginseng\"\", both of which originate from the Panax genus. Although there is only one species of American ginseng, there are many variations of Asian ginseng growing most predominantly in parts of China and South Korea.

More The female anatomy is a complex puzzle unique to each woman. One cannot assume what works for one woman, will work for another, especially when it comes to reproduction. Women's fertility is vital, yet a very sensitive issue. Some perceive reproduction as the fulfillment of being a woman. We all understand that it's necessary for women to experience the often-difficult process of menstruation every twenty-eight days, to prepare their bodies for pregnancy. It's important to address any issues involving your menstrual cycle, to ensure your body has the best prospects for good health and fertility if the desire is to produce a child. It's common for women to experience problems during their menstrual cycles, the most frequent complaint being menstrual cramps. As women mature sexually, fertility becomes more and more important. When menstrual issues threaten a women's reproductive success, they are usually addressed by many medical experts, however, a percentage of the female population prefers natural means to deal with menstrual cramps and to promote fertility. This is where cinnamon comes into the picture." }, { "docid": "D2262328#0", "title": "http://www.chinatravel.com/guizhou/\nGuizhou Travel Guide", "text": "Geographic Location Guizhou Province is situated on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in southwestern China. It borders Sichuan Province to the north, Guangxi Province to the south, Hunan Province to the east, and Yunnan Province to the west. Spanning some 509 kilometers from north to south and some 595 kilometers from east to west, Guizhou Province covers an area of roughly 176,000 square kilometers, and accounts for about 2% of China's total area. Topography The average height above sea level - albeit, perhaps a meaningless concept in a mountainous region - of Guizhou Province is 1100 meters, circa. Roughly speaking, the terrain of Guizhou Province descends from west to east, suddenly sloping precipitously from the mid-point of the province in a northward, an eastward, and a southward direction. The province's highest elevation point is 2900 meters above sea level, its lowest point a mere 148 meters. The terrain of Guizhou Province is made up of three basic land types: highlands, hills and basins, of which highlands and hills account for 92.5%. There are accordingly many mountains in Guizhou Province: Dalou Mountain Range to the north; Wumeng Mountain Range to the west; Miaoling Mountain Range to the south - whose highest peak, Leigong, reaches 2178 meters; and Wuling Mountain Range to the northeast, whose highest peak, Fanjing, reaches 2572 meters. Much of the landmass of Guizhou Province is characterized by a karst landscape, which results in caves, sinkholes, and bizarrely-shaped - if not grotesquely-shaped - stone formations, due to the sandstone bedrock which erodes erratically and unpredictably. Guizhou Province's karst landscape covers an area of roughly 109,000 square kilometers, making up slightly more than 62% of the province's total area." }, { "docid": "D2671299#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Can_you_grind_up_a_cinnamon_stick_and_use_it_as_ground_cinnamon\nCan you grind up a cinnamon stick and use it as ground cinnamon?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Food & Cooking Herbs Spices and Seasonings Cinnamon Can you grind up a cinnamon stick and use it as ground cinnamon?

The common image of a pine cone (such as the statue from the vatican courtyard to the left) is actually the female aspect of the pine tree. The male cones that produce the pine pollen powder, which is the plants sperm (nuts and seeds are more like mini uteruses), are thinner, more phallic looking and occur at the ends of branches (see next image below). A pollen grain is microscopic in size and looks like a mickey mouse head where each of the \"\"ears\"\" are concave to catch the wind so it can flow to the female cones on other trees or even onto the same tree to successfully pollinate them. To experience the benefits of pine pollen powder you can always wildcraft your own.

Flag What do the words eunuch and castrate mean? Edit Answer by Zephyrad Confidence votes 9.3KA eunuch is a male who has been castrated, usually during or before adolescence. Castration is the process of removing a male's testicles. Eunuch comes from an ancient word meaning \"\"to guard the bed\"\"; castrated males would guard the bedrooms of rich men's wives, to keep them from having affairs. ( This actually sometimes backfired; many of them were still capable of having sex, and could often last longer than normal men, and of course there were no pregnancy scares.) Castration may be done for several different reasons. In the Middle Ages it was sometimes done to boy sopranos, to keep their voices from deepening as they grew up. It could also be done to keep young males from becoming too aggressive as adults. The story of the Ethiopian eunuch in the New Testament is significant, because it showed a break between Jewish tradition of the time and early Christianity." } ]

[ 1] It started with the dissolution of the Han dynasty and was followed by the Jin dynasty.

To further distinguish the three states from other historical Chinese states of similar names, historians have added a relevant character: Wei is also known as Cao Wei ( 曹魏 ), [3] [4] Shu is also known as Shu Han ( 蜀漢 ), and Wu is also known as Dong (or Eastern) Wu ( 東吳 ). Academically, the period of the Three Kingdoms refers to the period between the foundation of the state of Wei in AD 220 and the conquest of the state of Wu by the Jin dynasty in 280. The earlier, \"\"unofficial\"\" part of the period, from 184 to 220, was marked by chaotic infighting between warlords in various parts of China.

Alienation The concept of the active, productive man who grasps and embraces the objective world with his own powers cannot be fully understood without the concept of the negation of productivity: alienation. For Marx the history of mankind is a history of the increasing development of man, and at the same time of increasing alienation. His concept of socialism is the emancipation from alienation, the return of man to himself, his self-realization. Alienation (or \"\"estrangement\"\") means, for Marx, that man does not experience himself as the acting agent in his grasp of the world, but that the world (nature, others, and he himself) remain alien to him. They stand above and against him as objects, even though they may be objects of his own creation. Alienation is essentially experiencing the world and oneself passively, receptively, as the subject separated from the object. The whole concept of alienation found its first expression in Western thought in the Old Testament concept of idolatry. [ 59] The essence of what the prophets call \"\"idolatry\"\" is not that man worships many gods instead of only one.

It was the successor to the Yuan dynasty and the predecessor of the short-lived Shun dynasty, which was in turn succeeded by the Qing dynasty. At its height, the Ming dynasty had a population of 160 million people, [1] while some assert the population could actually have been as large as 200 million. [ 2]Ming rule saw the construction of a vast navy and a standing army of 1,000,000 troops. [ 3] Although private maritime trade and official tribute missions from China took place in previous dynasties, the size of the tributary fleet under the Muslim eunuch admiral Zheng He in the 15th century surpassed all others in grandeur. There were enormous projects of construction, including the restoration of the Grand Canal, the restoration of the Great Wall as it is seen today, and the establishment of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the first quarter of the 15th century.

First, the dominance of eunuchs during this dynasty was unparalleled in Chinese history, much more rampant than that of Eastern Han Dynasty (25 - 220) and the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). From the late period of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, the old convention that eunuchs could not be appointed as high officials was broken. At that time, eunuchs' power began to expand. Especially, the celebrated eunuch Gao Lishi reached a position superior to some princes and ministers. In the reign of Emperor Daizong, the notorious eunuch Li Fuguo grasped the military power and controlled the royal power. Gradually, the power of eunuchs became stronger and stronger. They were able to formulate the national policy, to appoint and remove court officials and to enthrone and depose emperors. As the dominance of eunuchs became serious, the military power of central regime was weakened. Additionally, some wise-minded chancellors were hard to express their ideas." }, { "docid": "D1713678#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Han_dynasty\nHistory of the Han dynasty", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The Han dynasty in 2 CE (brown), with military garrisons (yellow dot), dependent states (green dot), and tributary vassal states (orange dot) as far as the Tarim Basin in the western part of Central Asia. The Han dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), founded by the peasant rebel leader Liu Bang (known posthumously as Emperor Gaozu), [note 1] was the second imperial dynasty of China. It followed the Qin dynasty (221–206 BCE), which had unified the Warring States of China by conquest. Interrupted briefly by the Xin dynasty (9–23 CE) of Wang Mang, the Han dynasty is divided into two periods: the Western Han (206 BCE – 9 CE) and the Eastern Han (25–220 CE). These appellations are derived from the locations of the capital cities Chang'an and Luoyang, respectively. The third and final capital of the dynasty was Xuchang, where the court moved in 196 CE during a period of political turmoil and civil war. The Han dynasty ruled in an era of Chinese cultural consolidation, political experimentation, relative economic prosperity and maturity, and great technological advances. There was unprecedented territorial expansion and exploration initiated by struggles with non-Chinese peoples, especially the nomadic Xiongnu of the Eurasian Steppe. The Han emperors were initially forced to acknowledge the rival Xiongnu Chanyus as their equals, yet in reality the Han was an inferior partner in a tributary and royal marriage alliance known as heqin. This agreement was broken when Emperor Wu of Han (r. 141–87 BCE) launched a series of military campaigns which eventually caused the fissure of the Xiongnu Federation and redefined the borders of China." }, { "docid": "D1470013#0", "title": "http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhAhd3q658Bcl0mz7d\n\"Really Born A Man: Sidney Star \"\"The Hip-Hop Tranny\"\" Shows Evidence She Is No Female!!

Published: 03/07/2009 at 8:45 PMShare on Facebook Share on Twitter Email Print This 1728 engraving by Gerard Hoet and Joseph Mulder depicts the common misconception that Enoch cheated death and was miraculously brought to heaven. When some people hear the name of Enoch from the Bible, they often wonder what really happened to this Old Testament prophet. They know the Bible says “Enoch walked with God,” and that “Enoch was translated that he should not see death. ”But what do these puzzling verses really mean? Did Enoch, a champion of God from the Book of Genesis somehow cheat death and get miraculously transported to heaven? Or is there a much simpler answer, one that’s actually revealed in the Bible? After all, it is “appointed unto men once to die” (Hebrews 9:27), “as in Adam all die” (1 Corinthians 15:22), and Jesus Himself said no one has gone to heaven except Himself (John 3:13).“Some think what happened to Enoch is a huge mystery that we won’t be able to solve until Jesus returns, but you can find out the truth of Scripture right now if you just crack open your own Bible and see the words on its pages,” says WND Executive News Editor Joe Kovacs, author of the best-selling book, “Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You’ve Never Been Told. ”“I think I underestimated the public’s confusion about what happened to Enoch, so I didn’t focus on him in my book." }, { "docid": "D2564908#0", "title": "http://www.academia.edu/2507704/_An_Argument_Against_the_Use_of_the_Word_Homosexual_In_English_Translations_of_the_Bible_The_Heythrop_Journal_51_no._5_2010_723-729\n\"\"\"An Argument Against the Use of the Word âHomosexualâ In English Translations of the Bible,\"\" The Heythrop Journal, 51 no. 5 (2010): 723-729.\"", "text": "\"pdf\"\"An Argument Against the Use of the Word ‘Homosexual’ In English Translations of the Bible,\"\" The Heythrop Journal…7 Pages\"\"An Argument Against the Use of the Word ‘Homosexual’ In English Translations of the Bible,\"\" The Heythrop Journal, 51 no. 5 (2010): 723-729.

Download Hey J LI (2010), pp. 723–729 AN ARGUMENT AGAINST THE USE OF THE WORD ‘HOMOSEXUAL’ IN ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE CRISTINA RICHIE Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton, MA, USA The epistle 1 Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul to the church at Corinth that he founded. Paul was engaged in a series of dialogues through letters with his church regarding matters of morality and Christian behavior.1 The theme of I Corinthians is the connection between dissensions in the church and immorality among the believers.2 In this letter, Paul sets out to correct doctrinal errors [6:12, 7:1], elucidate matters of faith [Chapter 8, 15] correct practices [Chapter 11–12, 14], and encourage the fledgling church [4:14]. Various immoralities are plaguing the new church, and Paul, as the founder, exhorts the church to change her ways. Chapter 5, in which Paul rebukes an incestuous relationship, and chapter 7, which juxtaposes the gifts of celibacy and marriage, act as an inclusio for chapter six, which sets up an argument that the lawsuits of the church are a result of immorality in general [vs. 1– 8], and sexual licentiousness in particular [vs. 9–20]. Although it may not be hard to imagine strife being caused by selfish and otherwise immoral behavior, there are two words used in the vice list of verses 9–10 which are inaccurate when translated as many English Bibles do. Chapter six, verse nine has produced much debate in the translation of two particular words: malakoi and arsenkoitai.3 In the New International Version, these words are translated as ‘male prostitute’ and ‘homosexual offender’, respectively. Taking into account the cultural background in which this epistle was written and the original Greek meaning of the words in both Biblical and extra-Biblical literary sources, however, reveals this translation to be anachronistic and imprecise." }, { "docid": "D380670#0", "title": "http://www.thefreedictionary.com/eunuch\neunuch", "text": "\"eunuch Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia .eu·nuch (yo͞o′nək)n.1.

Unsullied battle tactics are based on the legions of the old Ghiscari Empire, with large groups of them fighting in lock-step phalanxes using spear and shield, though they are also trained to use shortswords for close-quarters combat. Slave-eunuchs who have been trained from birth to fight, the Unsullied are renowned for their utter discipline on the battlefield, both in their usage of incredibly coordinated large unit phalanx formations, and because they will never break in the face of overwhelming odds, even to the point of death. Unsullied training begins when the boys are five years old: some were selected to be Unsullied as infants and castrated then, though any slave boy up to the age of five may be later selected to be made into an Unsullied, and then castrated. For over a decade until they are full-grown, they train from dawn to dusk until they have mastered the shortsword, shield, and three lengths of spear, as well as their training to fight together as organized phalanxes.

These missions were astonishing as much for their distance as for their size: during the first ones, Zheng He traveled all the way from China to Southeast Asia and then on to India, all the way to major trading sites on India's southwest coast. In his fourth voyage, he traveled to the Persian Gulf. But for the three last voyages, Zheng went even further, all the way to the east coast of Africa.

It happens to be a reference to a pointer, which explains the semantics you're seeing; the called function can change the pointer in the calling context, since it has a reference to it. So, to reiterate, the \"\"operative symbol\"\" here is not *&, that combination in itself doesn't mean a whole lot. The * is part of the type my Struct *, i.e. \"\"pointer to my Struct \"\", and the & makes it a reference, so you'd read it as \"\" out is a reference to a pointer to my Struct \"\". The original programmer could have helped, in my opinion, by writing it as:void my Func ( my Struct * & out)or even (not my personal style, but of course still valid):void my Func ( my Struct * &

[ 1] Its origin remains unclear, though there have been several theories. Contents [ hide ]1 Origin theories2 American variations3 See also4 References Origin theories [ edit]A common theory is that the idiom refers to hanging, either as a method of execution or suicide. However, there is no evidence to support this. Its earliest appearance is in the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1785), where it is defined as 'to die'. [ 2] In John Badcock 's slang dictionary of 1823, the explanation is given that \"\"One Bolsover having hung himself from a beam while standing on a pail, or bucket, kicked this vessel away in order to pry into futurity and it was all UP with him from that moment: Finis \"\". [ 3]The theory favoured by the OED relates to the alternative definition of a bucket as a beam or yoke that can be used to hang or carry things on.

The underlying premise of all of these elements in writing for conciseness, which means using quality-chosen words rather than many words in order to deliver a clear point (referred to as \"\"clarity\"\").

Letters of recommendation are typically related to employment (such a letter may also be called an employment reference or job reference ), admission to institutions of higher education, or scholarship eligibility. Recommendation letters are usually specifically requested to be written about someone, and are therefore addressed to a particular requester (such as a new employer, university admissions officer, etc. ), although they may also be issued to the person being recommended without specifying an addressee. References may also be required of companies seeking to win contracts, particularly in the fields of engineering, consultancy, industry and construction, and with regard to public procurement and tenders. Reference letters for organizations are used to assess its ability to deliver the required level of service. Some applications, such as professional schools give applicants the choice to waive their right to view their letters or not.

On 5 June 2014 the ECB decided to lower its deposit rate to -0.1%. This means that banks will have to pay for the balances they keep with the central bank. The ECB's move was prompted by the trend of low euro area inflation. As a result of the ECB interest rate cut the interest rates paid on savings accounts are expected to decrease.

Policies adopted by the ECB are thus responding to the present situation of low inflation and tepid recovery.

The worsening of the international economic situation and the low inflation will lead the ECB to reassess its policy stance in December. To face the challenges confronting the euro area, it is recognised that monetary policy cannot address all the problems and that structural reforms and fiscal policy should help to overcome them. *** Ladies and Gentlemen,I am honoured by Mr Maleki’s invitation to speak at the Opening Conference of the 18th Euro Finance Week. In my remarks today I would like to characterise the current economic situation in the euro area. Furthermore, I will address the roles that monetary policy, supply-side reforms and fiscal policies have played – and can play in the future – in shaping this situation. The current economic situation in the euro area The euro area challenges are part of a predicament shared by other advanced economies: decades of declining economic and productivity growth rates, prolonged periods of low inflation and an untamed financial sector fuelling asset price booms. This constitutes a very challenging situation that cannot be solved by one policy area alone, be it monetary policy or any other." }, { "docid": "D1361640#0", "title": "http://tradesamaritan.com/world-trade/products/mt103-single-customer-credit-transfer\nMT103 â Single Customer Credit Transfer", "text": "MT103 is also used in the form on MT103+ and MT103REMIT which facilitates straight through processing.

A currency exchange rate is always quoted in a currency pair, such as EUR/USD (Euro/U. S. Dollar). All currencies are assigned an International Standards Organization (ISO) code abbreviation which is often used to convey the particular currencies that make up a currency pair. For example, USD/JPY indicates two currencies: the U. S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen. The first currency in a currency pair is referred to as the “base currency”, and the second as the “counter currency” or “quote currency”. The value of the base currency is always 1. It is probably easiest to remember this by looking at a currency pair and saying “1 unit of the base currency buys how many units of the counter currency?”. Many currency pairs are expressed in terms of dollars, with $1 USD acting as the base currency (“how much of a currency does $US 1 buy?”). For example, a quote of USD/JPY 109.48 means that one U. S. dollar is equal to 109.48 Japanese yen. A speculating trader buys a currency pair if he believes the base currency will increase with respect to the quote currency, or that the corresponding exchange rate will rise." }, { "docid": "D1286812#0", "title": "http://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/11/dollar-euro-parity-what-a-one-to-one-exchange-means.html\nDollar-euro parity: What a one-to-one exchange means", "text": "CNBC Explains CNBC Explains A - B C - D E - F G - H I - J K - L M - N O - P Q - R S - T U - ZDollar-euro parity: What a one-to-one exchange means Anita Balakrishnan | @Ms ABalakrishnan Published 2:19 PM ET Wed, 11 March 2015 Updated 9:26 AM ET Thu, 12 March 2015CNBC.com CNBC Explains: What does euro-dollar parity mean? 3:37 PM ET Wed, 11 March 2015 | 00:59‹00:59CNBC Explains: What does euro-dollar parity mean?3:37 PM ET Wed, 11 March 201502:39Hedging your euro vacation2:10 PM ET Wed, 11 March 201501:49Euro parity: Inevitable?12:44 PM ET Wed, 11 March 201501:48The weak euro and auto makers12:41 PM ET Wed, 11 March 2015›As the euro's value sinks, the dollar-euro parity could affect your plans: whether you are investing in foreign markets or just planning a spring vacation in the south of France. The strong greenback against plunging euro prices means there could soon be a one-to-one exchange rate between the currencies. And the magical state of parity is a significant marker not only because it reduces the cost of exchanging money—but also because it is a rare occurrence. The last parity moment was in November 2002. Parity also occurred when the euro was introduced in 1999, and in 2000. So why now?

Euros, or even Dollars or Sterling may be accepted by some tourist businesses, but very seldom at a reasonable exchange rate. Credit cards are commonly but not universally accepted. So it is wise to obtain some Forints for your stay even if you expect to use a credit card or debt card for as much as you can. It is also true that some few things aimed at tourists -- hotels, some apartments, some taxis -- may quote their rates in Euros or even prefer Euros. The Forint is a pretty rare currency and as a result (a) it tends to be hard to find and comparatively expensive when available in countries other than Hungary and (b) Hungary – which sits at the geographic center of Europe and its still-many currencies -- has for centuries been a very aggressive marketplace for currency exchanges.

Following the merger on 1 April 2014 of the UK Office of Fair Trading and the Competition Commission to form the new Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), businesses operating in the UK can expect more robust enforcement of the competition rules, with higher fines and more criminal prosecutions in appropriate cases. Firms involved in anti-competitive behaviour may find their agreements to be unenforceable and risk being fined up to 10% of group global turnover for particularly damaging behaviour as well as exposing themselves to possible damages actions. Furthermore, individuals could also find themselves facing director disqualification orders or even criminal sanctions for serious breaches of competition law (see Out-Law's guide to Anti-competitive behaviour under the Enterprise Act ). As such, any business (whatever its legal status, size and sector) needs to be aware of competition law, firstly so that it can meet its obligations (and in doing so, avoid the penalties mentioned above), but also so it can assert its own rights and protect its position in the marketplace." } ]

Franchising is based on a marketing concept which can be adopted by an organisation as a strategy for business expansion. Where implemented, a franchiser licenses its know-how, procedures, intellectual property, use of its business model, brand; and rights to sell its branded products and services to a franchisee. In return the franchisee pays certain fees and agrees to comply with certain obligations, typically set out in a Franchise Agreement.

In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, a magically misplaced Midwest farm girl takes a moment to survey the bizarre landscape of Oz and then comments to her little dog, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto.” That sentiment probably echoes the reaction of many businesspeople who find themselves in the midst of international ventures for the first time. The differences between the foreign landscape and the one with which they’re familiar are often huge and multifaceted. Some are quite obvious, such as differences in language, currency, and everyday habits (say, using chopsticks instead of silverware). But others are subtle, complex, and sometimes even hidden. Success in international business means understanding a wide range of cultural, economic, legal, and political differences between countries.

They were first enacted in 1651 and throughout that time until 1663, [1] and were repealed in 1849. They reflected the policy of mercantilism, which sought to keep all the benefits of trade inside the Empire and to minimize the loss of gold and silver to foreigners. They prohibited the colonies from trading directly with the Netherlands, Spain, France, and their colonies. The original ordinance of 1651 was renewed at the Restoration by Acts 1660, 1663, 1670, and 1673, with subsequent minor amendments. The Acts formed the basis for English overseas trade for nearly 200 years. Additionally, the Acts restricted the employment of non-English sailors to a quarter of the crew on returning East India Company ships. The major impetuses for the Navigation Acts were the ruinous deterioration of English trade in the aftermath of the Eighty Years' War, and the concomitant lifting of the Spanish embargoes on trade between the Spanish Empire and the Dutch Republic." }, { "docid": "D150046#0", "title": "https://www.heritage.org/trade/report/the-benefits-free-trade-guide-policymakers\nThe Benefits of Free Trade: A Guide For Policymakers", "text": "\"Report Trade The Benefits of Free Trade: A Guide For Policymakers August 25, 2000 21 min read Download Report Denise Froning Senior Fellow and Director of Government Finance Programs... Summary Societies that enact free trade policies create their own economic dynamism--fostering a wellspring of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity that benefits every citizen. In recent years, the United States has demonstrated the power of this principle. Nor are American citizens alone in benefiting from those free trade policies that the U. S. enacts. By breaking the cycle of poverty, America's free trade policies can enable even the most impoverished countries to begin to create their own dynamic toward prosperity. Key Takeaways Free trade is the only type of truly fair trade because it offers consumers the most choices and the best opportunities to improve their standard of living. Free trade promotes innovation because, along with goods and services, the flow of trade circulates new ideas. By supporting the rule of law, free trade also can reduce the opportunities for corruption. Copied Select a Section 1 /0International trade is the framework upon which American prosperity rests. Free trade policies have created a level of competition in today's open market that engenders continual innovation and leads to better products, better-paying jobs, new markets, and increased savings and investment. Free trade enables more goods and services to reach American consumers at lower prices, thereby substantially increasing their standard of living." }, { "docid": "D2656747#0", "title": "http://atg.wa.gov/guide-antitrust-laws\nGuide to Antitrust Laws", "text": "\"Español中文한국어에서Although you may not realize it, as a consumer, antitrust laws affect your daily life in a variety of ways. Whether you’re shopping for food at the grocery store, buying a car, or downloading new software from the Internet, antitrust laws play an important role in ensuring that you have the benefit of competitive prices and high quality goods and services. The antitrust laws accomplish these goals by promoting and fostering competition in the marketplace and preventing anticompetitive mergers and business practices. In many respects, antitrust is a complex and intricate area of law that most consumers may only know about through what they have read in the newspapers or seen on the news. Even then, antitrust laws can appear somewhat distant and esoteric. This short guide discusses antitrust laws and provides answers to some of the basic questions consumers often send to us.

US law governing prescription pharmaceutical markets abandons that principle and gives every new drug a long-term monopoly that prohibits competition. It also discourages competition between medicines based on comparative price or effectiveness. High prices and slow innovation cycles are the inevitable result and will remain so unless Congress makes fundamental changes in existing law. According to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, it takes at least 10 years to develop a new drug. It is no surprise that the typical monopoly period on an existing drug is also 10-12 years. Why rush to bring a new product to market when a monopoly makes it possible to raise the price of the old one with impunity? Patents covering products other than drugs rarely provide the ability to charge any price. They are normally limited to a specific innovation and do not prevent competition from similar products.

This is in contrast to a phone (retrospectively called SIM-free or unlocked) that does not impose any SIM restrictions. Generally, phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards with certain International Mobile Subscriber Identities (IMSIs); IMSIs may be restricted by: Mobile country code (MCC; e.g., will only work with SIM issued in one country)Mobile network code (MNC; e.g., AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Bell Mobility etc. ) Mobile subscriber identification number (MSIN; i.e., only one SIM can be used with the phone)Additionally, some phones, especially Nokia phones, can lock group IDs which are used in voice group call service. Most mobile phones can be unlocked to work with any GSM network provider, but the phone may still display the original branding and may not support features of the new carrier. Besides the locking, phones may also have firmware installed on them which is specific to the network provider. For example, a Vodafone or Telstra branded phone in Australia will display the relevant logo and may only support features provided by that network (e.g. Vodafone Live!). This firmware is installed by the service provider and is separate from the locking mechanism. Most phones can be unbranded by reflashing a different firmware version, a procedure recommended for advanced users only. The reason many network providers SIM lock their phones is that they offer phones at a discount to customers in exchange for a contract to pay for the use of the network for a specified time period, usually between one and three years." }, { "docid": "D2847564#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_law\nLabour law", "text": "\"Labour law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Labour law (also known as labor law or employment law) mediates the relationship between workers, employing entities, trade unions and the government.

Workers sought better conditions and the right to join (or avoid joining) a labour union, while employers sought a more predictable, flexible and less costly workforce. The state of labour law at any one time is therefore both the product of, and a component of struggles between various social forces.

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

Shepard, Jr., was launched from Cape Canaveral by Mercury Redstone (MR3) launch vehicle, to an altitude of 115 nautical miles and a range of 302 miles. It was the first American space flight involving human beings. Shepard demonstrated that individuals can control a vehicle during weightlessness and high G stresses, and significant scientific biomedical data were acquired. He reached a speed of 5,100 miles per hour and his flight lasted 14.8 minutes. Feb. 20, 1962: John Glenn became the first American to circle the Earth, making three orbits in his Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft. Despite some problems with spacecraft¾Glenn flew parts of the last two orbits manually because of an autopilot failure and left his normally jettisoned retrorocket pack attached to his capsule during reentry because of a loose heat shield¾this flight was enormously successful. The public, more than celebrating the technological success, embraced Glenn as a personification of heroism and dignity. Among other engagements, Glenn addressed a joint session of Congress and participated in several ticker-tape parades around the country.

His single earth-orbit flight aboard the Vostok-1 spacecraft and his safe return to earth was a tremendous achievement and more significantly, it demonstrated to the United States, its staunch competitor, the superior level of its space technology. Kennedy’s Ambitious Goal Although President John F. Kennedy had been somewhat reluctant to commit to the enormous financial cost of a U. S. moon landing program, his priorities were suddenly shifted when news of the Soviet flight became known. Fearing that U. S. space technology would be left behind, one month later before a joint session of Congress, the president announced that the United States was now committed to a goal of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth” within 10 years. With that goal established by the president, the Apollo Space Program was launched and the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), the agency responsible for the nation’s future in space exploration, focused on carrying out this mission. Apollo Spacecraft Design The completed design for the Apollo spacecraft consisted of two principal sections: One section was the two-part Command/Service Module (CSM). The command module contained the 3-man crew, computerized controls, guidance and navigation systems, etc., while the service module held such components as the propulsion system and its propellants, fuel cells, etc. The second section was the Lunar Module, which was attached to the CSM. While orbiting the moon, the Lunar Module would undock from the CSM with two astronauts aboard, descend to the surface of the moon and at the conclusion of the mission return to the CSM." }, { "docid": "D3455129#0", "title": "https://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/aldrin-b.html\n.", "text": "\"National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lyndon B.

The flight test phase accomplishes two major tasks: 1) finding and fixing any design problems and then 2) verifying and documenting the vehicle capabilities for government certification or customer acceptance. The flight test phase can range from the test of a single new system for an existing vehicle to the complete development and certification of a new aircraft, launch vehicle, or reusable spacecraft.

Some aim to categorise design, to explain how it is different from or related to other activities, while others try to inspire good design. Here’s a simple definition from our former Chairman, Sir George Cox in the Cox Review:'Design is what links creativity and innovation. It shapes ideas to become practical and attractive propositions for users or customers. Design may be described as creativity deployed to a specific end.’ The Cox Review Most of the results of design are visible, and that lends itself to another simple definition: ‘Design is all around you, everything man-made has been designed, whether consciously or not’. The question therefore isn't so much 'what is design and why does it matter?' but 'how can I use good design to make the world around me better? ' How is design different from other activities?

Select users who are representative of the user group (s). 3-5 users are sufficient to identify the main issues. Consider using user-defined tasks, where users are asked to define their own goals prior to the evaluation session. Produce task scenarios and input data and write instructions for the user (tell the user what to achieve, not how to do it). Plan sessions allowing time for giving instructions, running the test, and a post-test interview. Invite developers to observe the sessions if possible." }, { "docid": "D1175184#0", "title": "http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/chapter4/function_types.html\n4.2. The type of functions", "text": "\"Publications > The C Book > Functions > Function types4.2. The type of functions All functions have a type: they return a value of that type whenever they are used. The reason that C doesn't have ‘procedures’, which in most other languages are simply functions without a value, is that in C it is permissible (in fact well-nigh mandatory) to discard the eventual value of most expressions. If that surprises you, think of an assignmenta = 1;That's a perfectly valid assignment, but don't forget that it has a value too. The value is discarded. If you want a bigger surprise, try this one:1;That is an expression followed by a semicolon. It is a well formed statement according to the rules of the language; nothing wrong with it, it is just useless. A function used as a procedure is used in the same way—a value is always returned, but you don't use it:f (argument);is also an expression with a discarded value. It's all very well saying that the value returned by a function can be ignored, but the fact remains that if the function really does return a value then it's probably a programming error not to do something with it. Conversely, if no useful value is returned then it's a good idea to be able to spot anywhere that it is used by mistake." }, { "docid": "D492972#0", "title": "https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concepts/\nConcepts", "text": "\"Concepts First published Mon Nov 7, 2005; substantive revision Tue May 17, 2011Concepts are the constituents of thoughts. Consequently, they are crucial to such psychological processes as categorization, inference, memory, learning, and decision-making. This much is relatively uncontroversial. But the nature of concepts—the kind of things concepts are—and the constraints that govern a theory of concepts have been the subject of much debate. This is due, at least in part, to the fact that disputes about concepts often reflect deeply opposing approaches to the study of the mind, to language, and even to philosophy itself. In this entry, we provide an overview of theories of concepts, and outline some of the disputes that have shaped debates surrounding the nature of concepts. The entry is organized around five significant issues that are focal points for many theories of concepts. Not every theory of concepts takes a stand on each of the five, but viewed collectively these issues show why the theory of concepts has been such a rich and lively topic in recent years. The five issues are: (1) the ontology of concepts, (2) the structure of concepts, (3) empiricism and nativism about concepts, (4) concepts and natural language, and (5) concepts and conceptual analysis.1.

Keywords: SDLC, project management, information systems Introduction SDLC, The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in an information system development project, from an initial feasibility study through maintenance of the completed application. Hence an array of system development life cycle (SDLC) models has been created: Fountain, Spiral, rapid prototyping, synchronize and stabilize and Incremental. Although in the academic sense, SDLC can be used to refer to various processes followed during the development of software, SDLC is typically used to refer to the oldest of the traditional models a waterfall methodology. Software Engineering Process The SDLC supports a list of important phases that are essential for developers, such as planning, analysis, design, and implementation, and are explained more in detail later in this report. Traditionally the waterfall model was regarded as the original: which adhered to a sequence of stages in which the output of each stage became the input for the next. No definitive models exist, but the steps can be describe and divided as follows: Project planning, feasibility study, Initiation: A feasibility study is a quick examination of the problems, goals and expected cost of the system. Projects are usually evaluated in three areas of feasibility: economical, operational, and technical." }, { "docid": "D1939586#0", "title": "http://www.qualitytrainingportal.com/resources/fmea/fmea_10step_dfmea.htm\n10 Steps to Conduct a DFMEA", "text": "10 Steps to Conduct a DFMEAStep 1 | Review the design Use a blueprint or schematic of the design/product to identify each component and interface.

Last month, at the Chicago Auto Show, Polaris had a couple of trikes on display. Immediately adjacent to the Slingshot display, Campagna was showing its T-Rex and newly introduced Harley-Davidson-powered VR13R. The Polaris starts at just under $20,000 and the T-Rex is about three times that price. Interestingly, the New York International Auto Show, often chosen by high-priced car manufacturers for reveals, also featured two reverse trikes, but at the lower end of the price spectrum: the electric Arcimoto SRK (target price of $11,000) and the gasoline powered Elio (targeted at $6,800). Both Arcimoto and Elio rented display space for the public days of the show and both of them had press conferences late on the second day of the NYIAS media preview. Elio has attended at the New York and Detroit shows before, but it was an introduction to the big time for Arcimoto, and it showed very little. Arcimoto founder and CEO Mark Frohnmayer was surprisingly absent. Instead, the press conference was handled by the company’s head of business development, Jesse Fittipaldi, who seemed a little too earnest and too hip about the next new thing as he bounced from one topic to the text. There’s a reason why most automakers use prepared remarks. In any case, Fittipaldi is far more credible than Kevin Lyons from at last year’s NY show." } ]

Inanna and Ishtar are essentially two sides of the same coin. Inanna came first, the goddess of the Sumerians. Ishtar came after, the goddess of the Babylonians and Assyrians. She was found in either her original form or in another form around the world including in Arabia, Armenia, Canaan, Carthage, China, Cilesia, Crete, Egypt, Ephesia, Greece, India, Israel, Japan, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Phrygia, and Pontus. Some say that she was the daughter of Anu, the Mesopotamian creator god, similar to the Greek Zeus, while others claim that she was the daughter of the Moon god Sinn. She was often depicted as winged, wearing a starred rainbow necklace, with burning eyes (the symbol of the spiritual light) and a burning navel (the symbols for the fertility of the land and her people). Because of her descent to and return from the Underworld, she is linked with Demeter, and to further this connection, she is often shown with ears of corn (grain) sprouting from her shoulders. This associated her as the Mother Earth Goddess with the fertility of the land; it is from her that the world received nourishment.

You've probably even worn one, and you've definitely seen someone wearing an evil eye amulet. You may have witnessed a person give the evil eye look (and you may have even given it yourself). But do you know the deep and meaningful history of the evil eye symbol, and do you know how popular and prevalent the evil eye is throughout a plethora of different cultures? Below is the need-to-know information on the symbol that is so popular, it is currently one of the most trendy pieces of jewelry. History and Meaning of The Evil Eye The symbol and superstition of the evil eye is one of the strongest symbolic images in the world. Yet, despite the differences in the cultures which hold the evil eye myth, it retains largely the same meaning no matter where the story is told. In its most basic form, the evil eye is thought of as a look given to inflict harm, suffering, or some form of bad luck on those that it is cast upon. It is a look which clearly states that one intends for something bad to happen to the object of one's focus, either out of jealousy or pure malice. The superstition of the evil eye holds that the malicious look is powerful enough to bring about actual disaster for the unfortunate person that is the receiver of the glare." }, { "docid": "D1456257#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/mafaldamarchior/african-traditional-jewellery/\nAfrican traditional jewellery", "text": "\"Seed Bead Jewelry Seed Bead Necklace Seed Beads Jewelry Necklaces Chunky Bead Necklaces Lace Jewelry Fabric Jewelry Bead Jewellery Diy Jewelry Anna Holland designs unique ethnic jewelry and tribal jewelry.

There is another gemstone, which in its most fine form, can be even more rare and costly than a fine diamond of the same size. The gemstone which can make this impressive claim is the emerald. This is a look at the facts and history of emeralds, their legends and associations, as well as a peek at some of the most spectacular emerald jewelry the world has ever known. The name “emerald” simply means “green gem”. That is perfectly logical, for if there is one defining characteristic of emeralds, it is their impossibly rich green color. In fact, the reason that Ireland is called the “Emerald Isle” is that its lush fields are the same vivid shade of green as the gemstone. The association grew from there until anything green is strongly associated with Ireland. They don't refer to St. Patrick's Day as “the wearing of the green” for nothing, after all.

The Illuminati conspiracy is a conspiracy theory which holds that there is a “global elite” society that is either in control of the world, or is seeking to take control of the world. As with most conspiracy theories, beliefs regarding the Illuminati conspiracy vary widely. As a result, it is virtually impossible to give a synopsis of the Illuminati conspiracy. Popularized in recent books and movies, the Illuminati conspiracy has definitely reached “cult fiction” status. If there is indeed some truth to the Illuminati conspiracy, the Illuminati are nothing but pawns in the hands of Satan, tools to be manipulated in his conflict with God.

In a perfect world, all gold jewelry is marked with a big, bright 14K stamp. In the real world, there are hard-to-read stamps, stamps that mean gold-plated, stamps that are fake…and the list goes on. Here are a few stamps which signify the piece is NOT gold:14K 1/20 (1/20 gold is basically gold-filled)14K G. F. (gold-filled)14K G. P. (gold-plated)14K H. G. E. (hydrostatic gold electroplating)14K G. E. P. (gold electroplating).925 (sterling silver)Anything with one of these stamps is not gold. It is made out of a different metal with a very thin gold layer that will wear off over time. These pieces do not have any real metal value and most gold buyers won’t purchase them from you (with the exception of sterling silver). Stamps that mean your piece IS gold: A plain 14K stamp14K P (The “P” stands for plumb gold)14K with a company logo after such as 14K <3417 (10K, means 41.7% gold)585 (14k, means 58.5% gold)750 (18K, means 75% gold)917 (22K, means 91.7% gold)999 (24K, means 99.9% gold)That being said, even if your piece is stamped “14K” you cannot be 100% sure it is gold. There are a number of fake stamps out there and the only way to be 100% sure is to test the metal with a gold tester using nitric acid. On the other hand, even if there is no stamp it could still be gold. Aside from the stamps or lack thereof, there are a couple other ways you (or most likely a jeweler) will be able to tell if the piece is gold: If the piece is tarnished or discolored in a way that’s not typical of gold (certain gold can discolor)By the weight (gold is very dense and therefore it should weigh more than any other non-gold piece its same size)Hopefully this helps you sort out the shoebox full of jewelry that you just inherited." }, { "docid": "D3524367#0", "title": "http://descendants.wikia.com/wiki/Uma\nUma", "text": "\"Uma Biographical information Alternative name (s)Captain, Darling (by Harry Hook) Punk (by Mal) Shrimpy (by Mal and Gil)Home Isle of the Lost Age16Physical description Gender Female Eye color Brown Hair color Aqua, black-white Skin color Brown Personal information Allies Mal (formerly), Harry Hook, Gil, Gonzo, Desiree, Jonas, Bonny and the rest of her pirate crew.

As your child begins to walk, you may have your first questions about what shoes he or she should wear. A growing child will need new shoes frequently, and more questions will arise. You should ask yourself the following questions when selecting your child's shoes: How does the shoe fit? How is the shoe made? Is the type of shoe appropriate for your child's age? The Fit Pay attention to the shoe's proper length, width and depth when fitting your child's shoe. Poorly fitting children's shoes can cause toe problems, ingrown toenails, hammer toes, calluses and bunions. Children's feet grow in spurts, and they require new shoes every three to four months. Most early toddlers (under 16 months of age) grow more than one-half a foot size in two months." }, { "docid": "D466943#0", "title": "http://www.healthyfeetstore.com/width-sizing-chart.html\nShopping for Shoes in Wide & Narrow Widths - Width Sizing Chart", "text": "\"Shopping for Shoes in Wide & Narrow Widths - Width Sizing Chart Women's Width Sizing Chart US Women's Size Narrow or AA Average or B Wide or C/D Extra-wide or E5 2 13 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 9 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\"5.5 2 7 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 1 ⁄ 4 \"\" 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4\"\"6 2 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 16 \"\"6.5 3\"\" 3 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\"7 3 1 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 7 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 13 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 16 \"\"7.5 3 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 1 ⁄ 2 \"\" 3 7 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 4 \"\"8 3 3 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 9 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\"8.5 3 1 ⁄ 4 \"\" 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4\"\" 4 3 ⁄ 8 \"\"9 3 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 7 ⁄ 16 \"\"9.5 3 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 2 \"\"10 3 7 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 9 ⁄ 16 \"\"10.5 3 1 ⁄ 2 \"\" 3 7 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 8 \"\"11 3 9 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 11 ⁄ 16 \"\"12 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 7 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 13 ⁄ 16 \"\"Men's Width Sizing Chart US Men's Size Narrow or C Average or D Wide or E6 3 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 1 ⁄ 2 \"\" 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\"6.5 3 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\"7 3 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\"7.5 3 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\"8 3 1 ⁄ 2 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\"8.5 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4\"\"9 3 5 ⁄ 8 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\"9.5 3 11 ⁄ 16 \"\" 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\"10 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4\"\" 4 3 ⁄ 16 \"\"10.5 3 3 ⁄ 4 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\"11 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\"11.5 3 15 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 8 \"\"12 4\"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 8 \"\"12.5 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 1 ⁄ 2 \"\"13 4 1 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 5 ⁄ 8 \"\"13.5 4 3 ⁄ 16 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 8 \"\" 4 3 ⁄ 4 \"\"Your Guide To the Complex World of Width Sizing Width is an incredibly complex topic for the pedorthic (professional shoe fitting) community. Pedorthists - the professionals who fit shoes for a living - are often very hesitant to make sweeping statements regarding what shoe width a person should or should not wear. This is because most people don't know that there is no standard width system used by shoe manufacturers to determine the measurements of a narrow, medium, wide, or extra wide shoe. Shoe designers use their best judgment when deciding how wide to make a wide shoe and don't consult with one another before labeling the widths of their shoes. Please understand, the only truly accurate way to determine if a shoe is the proper width for your foot is to try it on. That's why Healthy Feet Store.com has a free exchanges policy that allows you to order a shoe, try it on in your home like you would in a shoe store, and send it back to us to be exchanged for a different size or width without having to pay the cost of shipping. Because we understand that the exchange process is significantly less convenient than ordering the right shoe the first time around, we have provided this width sizing chart derived from averages and approximations.

I did also find references to XW for men's shoes as well as being equivilant to 2E. So, to answer your question: No, XW is not wider than 3E. Thank you for your question.

For beginners climbing indoors finding the balance between comfort, support and longevity is key, whereas someone climbing steep, hard boulder problems will be looking to get the most power out of a downturned climbing shoe, usually at the sacrifice of comfort. These are two ends of a very broad spectrum though, and there’s all sorts in between. There are many variables involved in getting a great climbing shoe fit that’s fit for your needs, so we put together this brief guide to try and ease the process. This is just an overview of quite a tricky subject, so if you need any more help or having any questions just give us a call or drop us an email. First things first First of all, you can narrow down your options quite a bit by thinking about the type of climbing you usually do. Climbing shoes with a downturned shape are usually designed purely for steep and overhanging terrain, generally hard sport climbing and bouldering. Buying technical climbing shoes won’t do you any favours if you climb in the lower grades or mostly on the friendly side of vertical. On overhanging ground, downturned climbing shoes hold your toes in such a way that more of the force you apply with your legs gets through to the foothold. This power comes at a price, though, as technical climbing shoes are often much less comfortable and sacrifice smearing ability and edging support." }, { "docid": "D1627643#0", "title": "http://helpwithbowling.com/choose-fit-best-bowling-shoes.php\nGet the Best Fit Bowling Shoes", "text": "Get the Best Fit Bowling Shoes If you are a serious bowler, you need your own bowling shoes.

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.

The last decade has seen many improvements both in the characteristics and quality of the athletics shoe. The walking shoe has also been developed. Exercisers and athletes have much to gain from getting the best possible shoes on their feet. There are now many examples of how both leg pain and the inability to run longer distances have been cured by using basic shoe information. A good athlete can become even better with the correct choice of shoes. Over recent years, ambitious analyses of exercise shoes have been carried out, providing those of us who work with problem-feet a better basis for our diagnoses, and a method of treatment for both shoe customers and patients. For those plagued by chronic foot or jogging-related problems, this has meant a vast improvement in their chances for seeing an end to their discomfort. From our daily contact with customers and patients over the last years, we have marked an obvious need for better information regarding both exercise and walking shoes. In the following chapter, we will present in a concise manner our rationale when analyzing feet and shoes, as well as the advice we share with those we meet in our daily work." } ]

But as time passed, the demigod discovered that the highest quality energy emanated from the death of sentient beings. The higher the consciousness attained by a bodily being -- the more aware it is of its tenuous hold on life and terror of death -- the more valuable the nourishment released at its demise. --- cut --- ( http://www.jrhaule.net/pots03.html#p2 ) I'm still having a problem with Monroes theory of earth created as a \"\"Loosh farm\"\" which does not really match my understanding of an earth school created to collect experiences.

Decile indicates the top 10%, which would lead one to believe that that's the one you should choose because you're in the top 10% of your class. However, I believe that because your school gave you a specific number rather than just telling you you're in the top 10%, you should choose exact, because 9 out of 91 is your exact ranking. Also, when you select 'exact' on the common app, two spaces pop up: one for your class rank and another to select whether it's based on weighted or unweighted GPA." } ]

In capitalism, the means of production are generally operated for profit. For a survey of definitions, see Wikiquote. Although some developed countries are regarded as capitalist, some of them have been called \"\"mixed economies\"\", due to government-owned means of production and economic interventionism. Capitalism is \"\"also called free market economy,\"\" or \"\"free enterprise economy. \"\" Contents [ show]Etymology Edit The word \"\"capital\"\" has roots in the trade and ownership of animals. The Latin root of the word is capitalis, from the proto-Indo-European kaput, which means \"\"head\"\", this being how wealth was measured. The more head of cattle, the better. The terms chattel (meaning goods, animals, or slaves) and even cattle itself also derive from this same origin. The lexical connections between animal trade and economics can also be seen in the names of many currencies and words about money: fee (faihu), rupee (rupya), buck (a deerskin), pecuniary (pecu), stock (livestock), and peso (pecu or pashu) all derive from animal-trade origins." }, { "docid": "D1191653#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/43597341/statistics-chapter-3-flash-cards/\nStatistics Chapter 3", "text": "\"43 terms mand3rz Statistics Chapter 3Statistics Chapter 3Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Income and wealth are the economic resources that households use to support their consumption of goods and services. This publication provides indicators of the level and distribution of after tax (disposable) household income, after adjusting for household size and composition. The estimates of disposable income in this publication are derived by deducting estimates of income tax liability, the Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge from the gross income data collected in the Survey of Income and Housing (SIH). Gross income is defined as income available for, or intended to support, current consumption, and are collected in respect of employment income (including non-cash benefits, bonuses, termination payments and irregular overtime), profit/loss from own unincorporated business, investment income (including interest, rent and dividends), lump sum workers' compensation receipts, private transfers (including superannuation, child support), other transfers from other households and cash transfers from government pensions and allowances. Some limits have been placed on items included as income, where the magnitude of individual amounts received exceeds that likely to be used to support current consumption (e.g. termination payments, workers compensation payments). While income is usually received by individuals, it is normally shared between partners in a couple relationship and with dependent children. To a lesser degree, there may be sharing with other members of the household. Even when there is no transfer of income between members of a household, nor provision of free or cheap accommodation, household members are still likely to benefit from the economies of scale that arise from the sharing of dwellings. The income measures shown in this publication therefore relate to household income." }, { "docid": "D2327810#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Whats-a-90th-percentile-pay\nWhat's a 90th percentile pay?", "text": "\"Business Jargon English Phrase Definitions Statistics (collected data) Phrase Definitions Mathematics English (language)What's a 90th percentile pay?ad by UC Berkeley Extension Want to learn basic statistic concepts?

Story after story talks about how jobs are disappearing, prices are rising, and many essentials, such as healthcare and education, are growing steadily more expensive and harder to afford. Politicians fall over each other to offer solutions, promising everything from tax reform to better schools to “save the middle class. ”However, what politicians aren’t always so clear about is just who is in the middle class they’re so eager to save. They talk in general terms about “ordinary Americans” or “working families,” but they seldom offer a clear-cut definition of what these groups look like. And when they do try – for example, when presidential candidate Hillary Clinton promised during the 2015 Democratic debates that she wouldn’t raise taxes on households with incomes below $250,000 – their views are often attacked as unrealistic. Actually, it’s hardly surprising that politicians have difficultly figuring out how to define the middle class. Social class in America is an incredibly complex subject – so complex that reporters from the The New York Times devoted more than a year to exploring it without coming to any firm conclusions. The closest the paper could come to a definition was to say that social class involves “a combination of income, education, wealth and occupation” – and every one of these factors plays a role in defining who the middle class is and what it needs." }, { "docid": "D267961#0", "title": "http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/dstirlin/CAST/CAST/Scentre/centre5.html\n.", "text": "\"Describing other locations in a distribution The mean and median both describe the 'centre' of a distribution.

CAPM was able to explain roughly 70% of price movements using beta. Fama and French improved that number to 90% by including market cap and book value. Other methods that use factor loadings include price to earnings, price to book, and price to dividends. One branch that hasn’t received a lot of attention is debt levels which relates to financial leverage. Can the amount of financial leverage a company has lead to future excess gains in the market? Modigliani and Miller (MM 1958, Miller 1977) claim that the market value of any firm is independent of capital structure. They further propose that the “expected rate of return…on the stock of any company…is a linear function of leverage”.

Observations of daily rainfall are nominally made at 9 am local clock time and record the total precipitation for the preceding 24 hours. Other, more frequent, observations are also made at some sites. If, for some reason, an observation is unable to be made, the next observation is recorded as an accumulation, since the rainfall has been accumulating in the rain gauge since the last reading. Accumulated totals are not included in statistics such as the Highest Daily Rainfall. Prior to 1974 rainfall was measured to the nearest point (one hundredth of an inch). Since then, observations have been taken to the nearest 0.2 mm, although some observations are read to 0.1 mm. When precipitation is in the form of snow, the snow in the rain gauge is melted and the equivalent amount of water is recorded (rough guide: one centimetre of snow melts to approximately one millimetre of water). Specific definitions Mean rainfall (mm)The arithmetically averaged total amount of precipitation recorded during a calendar month or year.

Sugars and starches supply energy to the body in the form of glucose, which is the primary energy source for the brain, central nervous system and red blood cells. Fibers, unlike sugars and starches, do not supply glucose to the body. They promote healthy laxation and decrease the risk of certain chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and diabetes. NOMENCLATURE FOR CARBOHYDRATESThe nomenclature for carbohydrates is somewhat confusing. Sugars can be one sugar unit (monosaccharides) such as glucose, fructose, and galactose; and they can be two sugar units linked together (disaccharides) such as sucrose, lactose, and maltose. A further distinction is sometimes further made between intrinsic and extrinsic sugars. The term intrinsic sugar means those sugars that are naturally occurring within a food, whereas extrinsic sugars are those that are added to foods. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has defined added sugars as sugars and syrups that are added to foods during processing or preparation, and also includes sugars and syrups added at the table.

The other major aspects of the history are the prevalence of pathology in family medical history as well as the patient’s previous complaints that may be related.

The backlash against EMG is predictable if you understand the nature of the fitness industry. When new topics, methods, exercises, or systems gain rapid popularity, they tend to get scrutinized to a much greater degree. Several online authors including Bret Contreras and Brad Schoenfeld have been heavily promoting their EMG research and experiments over the past few years, and this has caused various fitness enthusiasts to question the validity of EMG. Questioning is always a good thing, so we encourage discussion pertaining to EMG. However, it is important to be scientifically grounded or else we won’t reach a consensus.

As such, it can be seen as a type of bias in gathering and analyzing evidence. 1 Although some might disagree, this type of bias does not exclude scientists who pride themselves on their objectivity. 2Scientist and researchers have recognized for centuries that bias influences human thought and behavior. In 1620, a philosopher named Francis Bacon found that once people adopt an opinion, they will look for anything to support and agree with that opinion. Bacon also noted that it is a “peculiar human tendency” to be more moved by positives than by negatives. 3 In 1852, a journalist named Charles Mackay stated “When men wish to construct or support a theory, how they torture facts into their service!” 3 However, in spite of all the previous work on bias, a study completed in 1959 by psychologist Peter C. Wason was considered by most as the beginning for much of the work on confirmation bias. “Confirmation bias is perhaps the best known and most widely accepted notion of inferential error to come out of the literature on human reasoning.”" }, { "docid": "D411427#0", "title": "http://privatecop.com/ploygraph-lie-detector/polygraph-frequently-asked-questions.html\nPOLYGRAPH TEST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS", "text": "\"POLYGRAPH TEST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSClick on the questions below for the response What is a polygraph examination?

Educators, practitioners, regulators, and social workers are involved in the Path to Licensure program to ensure that students successfully transition to professional practice with a clear understanding of the value of licensure and regulation. When ASWB initiated the Path to Licensure campaign, it was a priority to establish as partners both the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and National Association of Social Workers (NASW). This provided a balanced and authoritative foundation to the program. Together, along with ASWB, individual social work regulatory bodies, and accredited social work school programs, these organizations are the key stakeholders. How does the program help educators? The program will make it easy for educators to include information about professional regulation and licensing requirements in the social work classroom. ASWB will provide relevant and useful information that can be integrated with any number of activities, such as student orientation, field placement, practice classes, policy classes, student association activities, etc. ASWB will also connect educators with the social work regulatory body responsible for licensing in the jurisdiction where their program is located. ASWB can help facilitate the involvement in meetings or hearings of the regulatory body, and also identify the specifics of licensing requirements in the local jurisdiction." }, { "docid": "D112626#0", "title": "http://www.ssdrc.com/9-17.html\nHow Long Does It Take To Get Disability Benefits When You First File?", "text": "\"How Long Does It Take To Get Disability Benefits When You First File? Initally disability claims, or applications for disability, are usually decided in under 120 days; though, occasionally some claims can be approved in under 30 days if the disability examiner has quick access to the medical evidence. Reconsideration appeals --a request for reconsideration is the first appeal--are often faster since A) they involve the same process as an initial claim and B) the medical records, other than any new evidence which has recently come into existence, were previously gathered at the initial claim level. Due to these factors, the average time for a decision at this level is usually less than 60 days, though, as with a disability application a case can take longer or less time depending on various circumstances. Disability hearings take the greatest amount of time since the wait for a hearing is often a year or longer, and a decision following a hearing can take months. All this said, there is no decisive answer to this question since when a claimant will get disability benefits will depend on: 1) What level the claim was approved at (meaning at the disability application, reconsideration appeal, or disability hearing level) and 2) Whether or not the case entailed processing issues such as the disability examiner encountering difficulty obtaining the claimant's medical records or having to schedule multiple consultative medical examinations, or having to defer the case because the claimant underwent a particular type of surgery, or suffered a myocardial infarction ( heart attack) or cerebrovascular accident ( stroke ). The disability process The Social Security disability or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability process usually involves an initial disability claim and perhaps a series of appeals in order to be approved for disability benefits.

A medical examiner is a physician appointed by law to determine the cause and manner of death of persons who dies under specific circumstances as defined by law. Deaths under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner are called medical examiner cases. Law enforcement officials, physicians, hospitals, funeral directors, and others are required to report to the medical examiner any death they think might be a medical examiner case. Which deaths must be examined and investigated? The medical examiner is required by law to investigate and certify all deaths in the District of Columbia that occur by any means of violence (injury), and those that occur without explanation or medical attention, are related to drugs, of persons in custody, or which pose a threat to the public health. Deaths resulting from injuries or complications from injuries – no matter how long after the injury occurred – are still medical examiner cases and fall under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner. What does “cause and manner of death” mean? The cause of death is the medical disease, injury, or poison (alcohol, drug or toxic substance) that caused the physical death of a person.

I said, most people, not all. As a website hosting company we buy dedicated fiber optic lines capable of transferring a certain amount of data from our datacenter to the Internet service providers. These lines are sometimes referred to as \"\"Pipes\"\" just like a water pipe coming into your home, you can pump a certain amount of water per minute through that pipe. In the case of electrical power, most homes have a 200 AMP service or the ability to use 200 amps of power at any given time. That does not mean that the power company expects you to use 200 Amps and if everyone does, they don't have enough power to supply everyone. In extreme cases, companies have to have rolling blackouts where they shut power to entire areas so that they have enough to supply the remaining customers and move that blackout area every few hours so everyone gets a fair supply of power because there is only a limited amount they can produce. When we talk about bandwidth the same is true. Fiber or pipes can only carry a limited amount of data, typically 1GIG per fiber pair and to get more you need more fiber pairs. The problem is, if you don't have the fiber in place you can't just turn it on when you need more." } ]

However, under different conditions of the bandwidth procedure the frequency with which KR is provided is also affected—the wider the goal-centred tolerance limits, the lower the frequency of KR. Since low-KR frequency conditions also have been shown to facilitate motor learning, it is not known whether the bandwidth KR effect is a unique phenomenon in motor learning or is simply due to differences in the frequency of KR. In the present study we partitioned the effects due to bandwidth KR from the effects due to KR frequency using a yoking procedure. Results from the acquisition performance trials indicated that bandwidth procedures exerted both error reduction and performance stabilization influences on motor behaviour that exceeded the effects of the relative frequency control procedures. Bandwidth procedures further resulted in better performance consistency during retention than the relative frequency conditions. These findings were discussed in terms of how KR about movement error and KR about the correctness of movement affect the learning of motor skill." }, { "docid": "D603192#0", "title": "https://lifehacker.com/5916784/the-best-data-usage-tracker-for-android\nThe Best Data Usage Tracker for Android", "text": "\"Whether you have an unlimited data plan or you're interested in carefully monitoring the mobile data you use, Android users have plenty of options when it comes to tools that keep track of their mobile data usage.

Like other real-time applications, Vo IP is extremely bandwidth- and delay-sensitive. For Vo IP transmissions to be intelligible to the receiver, voice packets should not be dropped, excessively delayed, or suffer varying delay (otherwise known as jitter). For example, the following standards must be met:• The default G.729 codec requires packet loss far less than 1 percent to avoid audible errors. Ideally, there should be no packet loss for Vo IP.• The ITU G.114 specification recommends less than 150 millisecond (ms) one-way end-to-end delay for high-quality real-time traffic such as voice. ( For international calls, one-way delay up to 300 ms is acceptable, especially for satellite transmission. This one-way delay takes propagation delay into consideration—the time required for the signal to travel the distance. )•" }, { "docid": "D720262#0", "title": "http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2086527/monitor-network-traffic-device.html\nMonitor network traffic by device", "text": "\"Solved Monitor network traffic by device Aus QB Mar 29, 2014, 11:12 PMOur household often has a problem with exceeding our monthly internet data limit, so I'm looking for a way to monitor traffic between the modem/router and all attached devices.

Some device needs to collect the data. It gets especially hard when you have wireless traffic involved and your router and modem are in the same device. There is no way to insert anything to do this collection. First option is to load dd-wrt on the router and use its version of netflow to collect this data. It requires you to have a server running to actually store the data since the router itself has no place to keep the data it collects it just forwards the collected data to the server which analyses it and produces the reports." }, { "docid": "D3458125#0", "title": "http://www.sb-innovation.de/f59/free-vpn-hotspot-shield-bandwith-fix-tutorial-11427/\n\"Thread: Free VPN \"\"Hotspot Shield\"\" Bandwith Fix Tutorial\"", "text": "\"Free VPN \"\"Hotspot Shield\"\" Bandwith Fix Tutorial Hotspot Shield is essentially a free private secure VPN tunnel service that routes through a US server with USA location IP address.

It uses almost no bandwidth if you hang up your telephone as all it needs to do is let Vonage know every few seconds that it is still connected and is waiting for someone to call you. At its lowest setting Vonage uses 30 kbps in each direction but does not sound quite as good.

The notice means that the bandwidth allowance that your host gives to you on your current plan, has all been used up this month. If you have recently received a lot of traffic, this may happen. You should consider moving to a bigger package with more bandwidth allowance if you expect to receive a similar number of hits/downloads or transfer next month as you did this month.

I find the receiver to be very pleasant to listen to with every mode and the front panel controls are nicely positioned to allow adjusting functions such as receive bandwidth very easily. Connection to the computer through a standard USB cable and USB port is an easy procedure if you follow the directions supplied by Kenwood. Once that connection is established, the TS-590S will talk with any program on your computer that allows you to map the audio input and output to the USB audio input and output ports of the rig. This allows you to easily configure the usual digital communication programs used by hams without the need for any hardware between the rig and your computer. It also allows you to use a few other interesting programs such as Adobe Audition to make mp3 recordings or Voice Shaper to play around with some simple voice processing with your computer. To really unlock the potential of this rig Kenwood provides a free program called ARCP-590 that provides you with the ability to control every aspect of the radio with your PC. One of the capabilities offered by the ARCP-590 software is a feature that allows you to visually scan up to 2 MHz of the spectrum to see what kind of activity might be present.

While the rest of a web host's feature list is usually written in English, this word is best understood as being written in the language of Humpty Dumpty. The Language of Humpty Dumpty In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, Humpty Dumpty redefined the meaning of the word \"\"glory\"\" to mean \"\"a nice knock-down argument\"\". When Alice, to whom he was speaking, protested that this was not the correct meaning of the word, Humpty Dumpty replied:\"\"When I use a word,\"\" Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, \"\"it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less. \"\" In the same way, when web hosts use the word \"\"unlimited\"\" to say that you get \"\"unlimited disk space\"\" or \"\"unlimited bandwidth\"\" (or its equivalent \"\"unlimited data transfer\"\"), the word \"\"unlimited\"\" usually gets redefined to some other meaning, at the web host's discretion. The exact meaning varies from host to host, in the spirit of Humpty Dumpty, but it invariably means the opposite of \"\"unlimited\"\" as found in the English language. Deconstructing the Meaning of \"\"Unlimited\"\" Found in Web Hosts' Advertisements Let's translate one version of the Humpty Dumpty \"\"unlimited\"\" to real English. According to a prominent web host, account holders are given \"\"unlimited disk space\"\". On this host, if you look at the fine print, you will find that \"\"you can add as much content as you want, but maybe not all at once\"\" (unmodified quote given).

But when the amount of mucus produced augments anomalously it may lead to serious complications such as blockage of airways causing breathing issues. The respiratory tract is the air passage that allows inhaling and exhaling air from and to the lungs. There is a mucous membrane that coats the respiratory tract and plays an important role. Mucus released from this membrane protects the respiratory tract from air-borne invaders or pathogens which get inhaled through breathe. Mucus also contains antibodies which traps as well as destroys these invaders. The mucous membrane lining also helps in maintaining moistness of the respiratory tract. But too much of mucus can also block the respiratory tract causing breathing difficulties Symptoms of Excess mucus in lungs There are certain symptoms which may be experienced when there is excess mucus in lungs.

When we breathe, we inhale several particles, like dust, viruses, allergens, bacteria, etc. These particles get trapped by mucus, which covers the mucus membranes.

If you’re a new runner, you may experience some burning in your lungs that may force you to stop running and catch your breath, but this discomfort will typically stop within a few minutes after you begin resting. If you experience pain or burning after each run, you may be breathing incorrectly, or you may have exercise-induced asthma or an underlying medical condition that requires immediate medical attention. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Cause Breathing through your mouth can cause pain or burning in your lungs after running because your brain thinks carbon dioxide is being lost in excess, so your body produces goblet cells to produce mucus, which slows your breathing and constricts your blood vessels. This vasoconstriction and excess mucus can make catching your breath after running more difficult, resulting in a painful burning sensation. The phenomenon is generally temporary and goes away as you gain more experience with running. Exercise-induced asthma, on the other hand, is a chronic condition caused by inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Identification If you have lung pain after running and shortness of breath, your body will naturally start working against you and begin gulping air through the mouth, but this can cause temporary inflammation of the lungs. It’s easy to identify whether you are breathing through your nose or mouth. Breathing through the nose is more difficult and requires practice, but it will slow down your breathing pace, making the air you inhale work more efficiently in your lungs as your lungs will have more time to receive oxygen." }, { "docid": "D2426987#0", "title": "http://www.thelifemanagementalliance.com/Physical/Illnesses/Chestcongestion.html\n.", "text": "\"CONTENTSWhat is chest congestion?

When the glottis opens, the high-pressure air comes out explosively, and the explosion helps force the extraneous matter out of your airways. You can also cough whenever you want to, whether to clear your throat or for other reasons.

This is usually associated with inflammation of the airways and lungs with some degree of restricted airflow and related respiratory symptoms like coughing. It may be accompanied by nasal congestion and upper respiratory tract congestion in general, including that of the paranasal sinuses and throat.

When someone has pneumonia, the lung tissue becomes inflamed and the alveoli fill with mucus * and other debris, making it difficult for oxygen to be transferred. When normal amounts of oxygen cannot reach the body's cells, many symptoms may develop. Bacteria or viruses usually cause pneumonia. In some cases, a virus may directly cause the disease.

Medical RF.com/ Getty Images Stomach growling, which originates in the stomach and the small intestine, can be explained by a closer look at how the digestive system functions. The digestive system is, in essence, a long tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. This tube connects with the various organs and passages that play important roles in digestion. One of the most important things to know about the digestive system is the manner in which it propels food. Waves of muscle contractions move and push the contents continually downward in a process called peristalsis. In addition to moving your meal along its digestive path, these contractions also help churn food, liquid and different digestive juices together, rendering them into a gooey mix known as chyme. Stomach growling is the result of this process. Moving with those solid and liquid chyme ingredients are gasses and air. As all these ingredients get pushed around and broken down into easy-to-absorb bits, pockets of air and gas also get squeezed and create the noises we hear." } ]

Complex Carbohydrates When bloating and discomfort happens because of eating vegetables, legumes, grains, cereals, nuts, and seeds – which contain complex carbohydrates – we call this condition Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance (CCI). CCI occurs because we lack the enzyme necessary to digest complex carbohydrates. There is little gas production in the small intestine because the bacterial concentration is low. When the undigested carbohydrates reach the colon, the bacteria that normally live in the colon ferment them. This fermentation often results in the production of gas – similar to the production of bubbles in the fermenting of grapes into champagne. The buildup of gas in the colon results in discomfort, bloating, and sometimes pain. Many people do not know what Complex Carbohydrate Intolerance is and therefore do not know how to treat it effectively.

It is a sign of activity within the stomach and bowels that occurs throughout the day. But a gurgling abdominal sounds can also be a sign of various bowel diseases and it is therefore difficult to say what can be considered normal or abnormal. Similarly, a lack of bowel sounds can also be a cause for concern as it may be an indication of various gastrointestinal and abdominal conditions that need to be investigated. Causes of Gurgling Intestinal Sounds There are several reasons for the normal gurgling sounds in the stomach and bowels. The contents within the gastrointestinal tract are pushed through by the strong muscular contractions of the gut wall. Gurgling is largely due to the fluid content within the bowels.

Stomach gurgling is often associated with digestion, but sometimes they could indicate something more serious. It’s important to recognize when your stomach gurgles and how often to help you narrow in on the possible cause. Here we will outline the many different causes for stomach gurgles along with some home remedies you can try in order to minimize stomach gurgling. Causes of stomach gurgling Hunger: Sometimes stomach gurgles are your body’s way of telling you it’s time to eat. More so, these stomach gurgles can be louder if you don’t consume food but rather fill yourself with coffee or alcohol. When your stomach speaks, it’s important that you listen. Intestinal disorders: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome could cause stomach gurgling. You may also experience accompanying symptoms like abdominal pain. Lack of sleep: When you don’t sleep, your body becomes stressed, which can trigger overeating and thus an increase in stomach gurgling." }, { "docid": "D1403826#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/upset-stomach-gas-and-burping\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Upset Stomach Gas And Burping", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Upset Stomach Gas And Burping Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Laura Anissian1 doctor agreed:1 On bc, had unprotected sex on amoxicillin day I started taking (nov18).

They come second to other elements such as a good storyline, well-developed characters, and so on. However, mechanics are still very important. If your story is not mechanically well-written, many educated readers will not even bother to read it, either because it’s too hard for them to figure out what you’re trying to say, or they just assume the story won’t be good because it doesn’t appear to be well-written. Despite the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” appearance matters in fanfic. If your story doesn’t look worth reading, people may not read it. Good mechanics make a story easy to read, and that will attract more readers. If you’re not sold on the importance of mechanics, read the following paragraph, borrowed from this site: Memorable Studentsthey are the memorable students in any class they participate fully in any mischief they see no point in volunteering for extra jobs they delight in distracting their classmates they take no pleasure in learning they are never satisfied Not only is the above example difficult to read because of the lack of punctuation and capitalization, but it also impossible to understand the meaning of it.

These typographical devices mean the same thing; therefore, it would be unusual to use both within the same text and it would certainly be unwise to italicize an underlined word. As word-processors and printers become more sophisticated and their published products more professional looking, italics are accepted by more and more instructors. Still, some instructors insist on underlines (probably because they went to school when italics were either technically difficult or practically unreadable). It is still a good idea to ask your instructor before using italics. ( The APA Publication Manual continues to insist on underlining.) In this section, we will use italics only, but they should be considered interchangeable with underlined text. These rules and suggestions do not apply to newspaper writing, which has its own set of regulations in this matter. Italics do not include punctuation marks (end marks or parentheses, for instance) next to the words being italicized unless those punctuation marks are meant to be considered as part of what is being italicized: \"\"Have you read Stephen King's Pet Semetary?

Quotation marks are always used in pairs; you must have quotation marks at the beginning and at the end of quoted material. When opening quotation marks are placed at the beginning of a quote, the closing quotation marks are not added until the speaker changes or the quotation is interrupted. In word processing, use curved or \"\"smart\"\" quotes, rather than straight quotes, which indicate inches. GENERAL RULESRULE #1: Use double quotation marks to enclose a direct quotation (the exact words spoken by someone). DO NOT use quotation marks to enclose an indirect quotation (when the meaning is paraphrased—the exact words are not used). Long direct quotations (more than three typewritten lines) are usually written without quotation marks and are indented from the left and sometimes the right margin. If a long direct quotation spans more than one paragraph, place quotation marks at the beginning of each paragraph and at the end of only the last paragraph.

The decision in Mapp v. Ohio established that the exclusionary rule applies to evidence gained from an unreasonable search or seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment . The decision in Miranda v. Arizona established that the exclusionary rule applies to improperly elicited self-incriminatory statements gathered in violation of the Fifth Amendment, and to evidence gained in situations where the government violated the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel. However, the rule does not apply in civil cases, including deportation hearings. See INS v. Lopez-Mendoza. Derivatives of Excluded Evidence If evidence that falls within the scope of the exclusionary rule led law enforcement to other evidence, which they would not otherwise have located, then the exclusionary rule applies to the newly discovered evidence, subject to a few exceptions. The secondarily excluded evidence is called “ fruit of the poisonous tree .”Though the rationale behind the exclusionary rule is based in constitutional rights, it is a court-created remedy and deterrent, not an independent constitutional right. The purpose of the rule is to deter law enforcement officers from conducting searches or seizures in violation of the Fourth Amendment and to provide remedies to defendants whose rights have been infringed. Courts have also carved out several exceptions to the exclusionary rule where the costs of exclusion outweigh its deterrent or remedial benefits. For example, the good-faith exception, below, does not trigger the rule because excluding the evidence would not deter police officers from violating the law in the future." } ]

HARRIS, (1990)No. 88-1000Argued: January 10, 1990 Decided: April 18, 1990Police officers, having probable cause to believe that respondent Harris committed murder, entered his home without first obtaining a warrant, read him his rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U. S. 436, and reportedly secured an admission of guilt. After he was arrested, taken to the police station, and again given his Miranda rights, he signed a written inculpatory statement. The New York trial court suppressed the first statement under Payton v. New York, 445 U. S. 573, which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the police from effecting a warrantless and nonconsensual entry into a suspect's home in order to make a routine felony arrest. However, the court admitted the second statement, and Harris was convicted of second-degree murder. The Appellate Division affirmed, but the State Court of Appeals reversed. Applying the rule of Brown v. Illinois, 422 U. S. 590, and its progeny that the indirect fruits of an illegal search or arrest should be suppressed when they bear a sufficiently close relationship to the underlying illegality, the court deemed the second statement inadmissible because its connection with the arrest was not sufficiently attenuated. Held: Where the police have probable cause to arrest a suspect, the exclusionary rule does not bar the State's use of a statement made by the defendant outside of his home, even though the statement is taken after an arrest made in the home in violation of Payton. The penalties imposed on the government where its officers have violated the law must bear some relation to the purposes which the law serves. United States v. Ceccolini, 435 U.

Suppression of evidence is a term used in the United States legal system to describe the lawful or unlawful act of preventing evidence from being shown in a trial. This could happen for several reasons. For example, if a judge believes that the evidence in question was obtained illegally, the judge can rule that it not be shown in court. It could also refer to a prosecutor improperly or intentionally hiding evidence that he or she is legally obligated to show the defense. In the latter case, this would be a violation of the 5th amendment to the United States Constitution. This can result in a mistrial in the latter case and/or the dismissal of the prosecutor.

Constitution provides that \"\" [t]he 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 . \"\" The ultimate goal of this provision is to protect people’s right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable intrusions by the government. However, the Fourth Amendment does not guarantee protection from all searches and seizures, but only those done by the government and deemed unreasonable under the law. To claim violation of Fourth Amendment as the basis for suppressing a relevant evidence, the court had long required that the claimant must prove that he himself was the victim of an invasion of privacy to have a valid standing to claim protection under the Fourth Amendment . However, the Supreme Court has departed from such requirement, issue of exclusion is to be determined solely upon a resolution of the substantive question whether the claimant's Fourth Amendment rights have been violated, which in turn requires that the claimant demonstrates a justifiable expectation of privacy, which was arbitrarily violated by the government. In general, most warrantless searches of private premises are prohibited under the Fourth Amendment, unless specific exception applies. For instance, a warrantless search may be lawful, if an officer has asked and is given consent to search; if the search is incident to a lawful arrest; if there is probable cause to search and there is exigent circumstance calling for the warrantless search. Exigent circumstances exist in situations where a situation where people are in imminent danger, where evidence faces imminent destruction, or prior to a suspect 's imminent escape.

To put this question in context we must qualify the question by adding another: \"\"Compared to what?\"\" Defenders of the exclusionary rule rely heavily on the inadequacy of other remedies. If the constitution requires some effective remedy for violations, and if tort and administrative remedies have proved inadequate in practice, there is a strong case for requiring exclusion. Critics have made a variety of objections to the rule. They argue that:exclusion is costly inasmuch as it requires freeing guilty offenders;that the rule does nothing for innocent victims of police misconduct, who have no evidence of crime to be suppressed;that the rule's deterrent benefits are, as an empirical matter, doubtful;that, if the rule does deter, it may overdeter by causing the police not to engage in searches that, although close to the line of illegality, are not over that line;that the tort remedy might be made more effective by plausible reforms;that exclusion causes police perjury, tolerance of police perjury by judges, and narrow interpretations of substantive Fourth Amendment rights by judges reluctant to free the guilty. With respect to the cost associated with freeing the guilty, defenders of exclusion reply that any effective remedy for Fourth Amendment violations would result in the escape of guilty criminals. If the tort remedy, for example, were made a credible deterrent, fear of tort liability would cause the police to refrain from illegal searches. Since some illegal searches would reveal evidence of crime, alternative remedies would have the same costs as the exclusionary rule, in precise proportion to their effectiveness in deterring police misconduct. In some cases, however, exclusion does cost the public a conviction that might have been obtained without violating the Constitution." }, { "docid": "D1374802#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_covenant\nCovenant (law)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Restrictive covenant)navigation search Property law Part of the common law series Types Real property Personal property Acquisition Gift Adverse possession Deed Conquest Discovery Accession Lost, mislaid, and abandoned property Treasure trove Bailment License Alienation Estates in land Allodial title Fee simple Fee tail Life estate Defeasible estate Future interestremainder Concurrent estate Leasehold estate Condominiums Real estate Conveyancing Bona fide purchaser Torrens title Strata title Deeds registration Estoppel by deed Quitclaim deed Mortgage Equitable conversion Action to quiet title Escheat Future use control Restraint on alienation Rule against perpetuities Rule in Shelley's Case Doctrine of worthier title Nonpossessory interest Lien Easement Profit Usufruct Covenant Equitable servitude Related topics Fixtures Waste Partition Practicing without a license Property rights Mineral rights Water rightsprior appropriation riparian Lateral and subjacent support Assignment Nemo dat Quicquid plantatur Conflict of property laws Blackacre Security deposit Other common law areas Contract law Tort law Wills, trusts and estates Criminal law Evidencev t e A covenant, in its most general sense and historical sense, is a solemn promise to engage in or refrain from a specified action. Under historical English common law a covenant was distinguished from an ordinary contract by the presence of a seal. Because the presence of a seal indicated an unusual solemnity in the promises made in a covenant, the common law would enforce a covenant even in the absence of consideration. [ 1] In United States contract law, an implied covenant of good faith is presumed. A covenant is a type of agreement that works contract in which the covenantor makes a promise to a covenantee to do (affirmative covenant) or not do some action (negative covenant). In real property law, the term real covenants is used for conditions tied to the use of land. A \"\"covenant running with the land\"\", also imposes duties or restrictions upon the use of that land regardless of the owner. Restrictive covenants are somewhat similar to easements and equitable servitudes, leading to some discussion about whether these concepts should be unified; [2] the Restatement (Third) of Property takes steps to merge these concepts as servitudes. [ 3] Real covenant law in the United States has been referred to as an \"\"unspeakable quagmire\"\" by one court.

S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia bookv t e The Bill of Rights in the National Archives The Fourth Amendment ( Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. It requires \"\"reasonable\"\" governmental searches and seizures to be conducted only upon issuance of a warrant, judicially sanctioned by probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. Under the Fourth Amendment, search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer who has sworn by it. Fourth Amendment case law deals with three issues: what government activities constitute \"\"search\"\" and \"\"seizure\"\"; what constitutes probable cause for these actions; and how violations of Fourth Amendment rights should be addressed. Early court decisions limited the amendment's scope to a law enforcement officer's physical intrusion onto private property, but with Katz v. United States (1967), the Supreme Court held that its protections, such as the warrant requirement, extend to the privacy of individuals as well as physical locations. Law enforcement officers need a warrant for most search and seizure activities, but the Court has defined a series of exceptions for consent searches, motor vehicle searches, evidence in plain view, exigent circumstances, border searches, and other situations. The exclusionary rule is one way the amendment is enforced. Established in Weeks v. United States (1914), this rule holds that evidence obtained through a Fourth Amendment violation is generally inadmissible at criminal trials. Evidence discovered as a later result of an illegal search may also be inadmissible as \"\" fruit of the poisonous tree \"\", unless it inevitably would have been discovered by legal means.

In your analysis, state the costs and benefits of the exclusionary rule, as well as alternative remedies to the rule. State your position on the exclusionary rule and provide support for your position. Solution Preview The rationale and purpose of the exclusionary rule is to prevent unjust and illegal arrests of American citizens and to protect the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments that pertain to unreasonable searches and seizures and the Equal Amendment. The exclusionary rule ensures that American citizens have due process, which is a vital and necessary part of American law wherein the necessity for Due Process is so paramount that the Bill of Rights addresses the issue on many fronts. The rule was and remains one of the most effective deterrents to government abuse of citizen's rights and it is a constitutional right afforded to citizens under the Fourth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution. This was highlighted and affirmed in the Supreme Court case Weeks v. United States in 1914. This rule enforces deterrence and represents an individual remedy for citizens when their rights are violated by police or other governmental agencies under the Fourth Amendment. Justifications for the exclusionary rule in regard to the rationale and purpose of maintaining this rule are that it protects the integrity of the judicial system from evidence obtained illegally or \"\"dirty evidence, and it deters future illegal searches by police.

A doctrine commonly used in American courts, the exclusionary rule discourages police and other law enforcement agents from obtaining evidence illegally. The court will suppress or ban evidence that was gathered in violation of the defendant ’s Fourth Amendment right to be protected against unlawful search and seizure. If evidence is suppressed, it means that the evidence cannot be shown or discussed during the defendant’s trial.

S. Government portal Law portal Wikipedia bookv t e The Bill of Rights in the National Archives The Fourth Amendment ( Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. It requires \"\"reasonable\"\" governmental searches and seizures to be conducted only upon issuance of a warrant, judicially sanctioned by probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. Under the Fourth Amendment, search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer who has sworn by it. Fourth Amendment case law deals with three issues: what government activities constitute \"\"search\"\" and \"\"seizure\"\"; what constitutes probable cause for these actions; and how violations of Fourth Amendment rights should be addressed. Early court decisions limited the amendment's scope to a law enforcement officer's physical intrusion onto private property, but with Katz v. United States (1967), the Supreme Court held that its protections, such as the warrant requirement, extend to the privacy of individuals as well as physical locations. Law enforcement officers need a warrant for most search and seizure activities, but the Court has defined a series of exceptions for consent searches, motor vehicle searches, evidence in plain view, exigent circumstances, border searches, and other situations. The exclusionary rule is one way the amendment is enforced. Established in Weeks v. United States (1914), this rule holds that evidence obtained through a Fourth Amendment violation is generally inadmissible at criminal trials. Evidence discovered as a later result of an illegal search may also be inadmissible as \"\" fruit of the poisonous tree \"\", unless it inevitably would have been discovered by legal means. The Fourth Amendment was adopted in response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, a type of general search warrant issued by the British government, and a major source of tension in pre-Revolutionary America." }, { "docid": "D926788#0", "title": "http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/A-Ar/Antitrust-Acts-and-Laws.html\nANTITRUST ACTS AND LAWS", "text": "\"ANTITRUST ACTS AND LAWSFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur The purpose of the various antitrust acts and laws is to ensure that the U. S. economy can reach equilibrium without being restrained, hampered, or obstructed by the undue influence of large companies or groups of companies engaging in anticompetitive behavior. Specifically, to protect the economy, antitrust laws were written to prohibit \"\"restraint of trade,\"\" a key phrase of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Down through the decades the courts have interpreted restraint of trade to include but not necessarily be restricted to monopolistic, conspiratorial, or exclusionary practices that restrict, restrain, or obstruct competition. Activities such as these tend to drive prices upward while reducing the supply and/or quality of goods and services. Unlike other types of economic regulation, antitrust laws do not directly dictate industry or corporate output, prices, rates, or services. Federal antitrust law is composed not only of statutes but also of administrative regulations, court decisions, and enforcement actions, all designed to regulate business activity in relation to competition and restraint of trade. Furthermore, most states have their own antitrust laws, which vary in effectiveness but are largely designed to complement antitrust mechanisms established by the federal government. Antitrust laws show a predilection for free, open markets where price and quantity are set by competition and where market conditions are not set by monopolistic practices or activities resulting in a restraint of trade. A monopoly occurs when a firm becomes dominant in a market and has the power to set prices and market conditions while excluding competition. There are four basic activities that fall under the purview of restraint of trade regulations: agreements between competitors, withholding patronage or refusing to do business with parties not participating in an agreement, the assignment of customers and/or markets, and price-setting." }, { "docid": "D1605711#0", "title": "https://www.flashcardmachine.com/law-test1.html\nShared Flashcard Set", "text": "Shared Flashcard Set Details Title Law Test 1Description Business Ethics and Law Total Cards 39Subject Business Level Undergraduate 2Created 09/04/2013Click here to study/print these flashcards .

D. Power and Associates, Troy, Michigan Michelle J. White University of California, San Diego Abstract Full Text Cited by PDFAbstract Go to The U. S. personal bankruptcy system functions as a bankruptcy system for small businesses as well as consumers, because debts of noncorporate firms are personal liabilities of the firms’ owners. If the firm fails, the owner has an incentive to file for bankruptcy, since both business debts and the owner’s personal debts will be discharged. In bankruptcy, the owner must give up assets above a fixed exemption level. Because exemption levels are set by the states, they vary widely. We show that higher bankruptcy exemption levels benefit potential entrepreneurs who are risk averse by providing partial wealth insurance and therefore that the probability of owning a business increases as the exemption level increases. We test this prediction and find that the probability of households owning businesses is 35 percent higher if they live in states with unlimited rather than low exemptions. T he U. S. personal bankruptcy system is primarily intended as a bankruptcy procedure for consumers, but it also is the de facto bankruptcy procedure for small firms. When firms are noncorporate, debts of the firm are personal liabilities of the entrepreneur/owner. If the firm fails, entrepreneurs have an incentive to file for personal bankruptcy under the procedure known as Chapter 7, because both their business and personal debts will be discharged. Entrepreneurs filing under Chapter 7 must give up all assets they own in excess of an exemption level, but all of their future earnings are exempt from the obligation to repay—this is known as the “fresh start” in bankruptcy." }, { "docid": "D1108018#0", "title": "https://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/finra-releases-revised-4210-margin-rule-proposal\nFINRA Releases Revised 4210 Margin Rule Proposal", "text": "Law Flash FINRA Releases Revised 4210 Margin Rule Proposal October 15, 2015The reproposed amendments to Rule 4210 attempt to address commenters’ concerns that the original proposed rule would impact business activity in the TBA market. On September 24, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) proposed a revised rule (the “Reproposal”) that would implement, among other things, margin collection requirements for (1) To Be Announced (TBA) transactions, including adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) transactions; [1] (2) Specified Pool Transactions; [2] and (3) transactions in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) [3] with forward settlement dates that exceed three business days. [ 4]Consistent with the original proposed rule issued in January 2014 (the “Original Proposal”), [5] FINRA reiterated that the proposed amendments are based on best practices adopted by the Treasury Market Practices Group (TMPG) of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and are designed to reduce counterparty credit risk in the TBA market. [ 6]The Reproposal incorporates a number of revisions to address market participants’ concerns that the Original Proposal would impede business activity in the TBA market. In the preamble to the Reproposal, FINRA indicates that it has revised the proposal “to ameliorate its impact on business activity and to address the concerns of smaller customers that do not pose material risk to the market as a whole, in particular those engaging in non-margined, cash account business.” [ 7] Specifically, FINRA added a conditional exception to the proposed margin requirements for any counterparty with gross open positions amounting to $2.5 million or less, as well as specified exceptions to the maintenance margin requirements and modifications to the de minimis transfer provisions. [ 8]Background According to FINRA, most trading in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) takes place in the TBA market, and agency MBS is one of the largest fixed income markets. [ 9] FINRA explains, however, that the TBA market has historically been one of the few markets “where a significant portion of activity is unmargined, thereby creating a potential risk arising from counterparty exposure.” [ 10] The TMPG similarly commented that a default on forward-settling agency MBS transactions could subject other market participants in the TBA market to significant losses and risks. [ 11] Accordingly, in October 2013, the TMPG recommended that TBA market participants should “substantially complete” the transition to a system of margining by December 31, 2013.

In economic terms, it is an organization that uses its surplus of the revenues to further achieve its ultimate objective, rather than distributing its income to the organization's shareholders, leaders, or members. Non-profits are tax exempt or charitable, meaning they do not pay income tax on the money that they receive for their organization. They can operate in religious, scientific, research, or educational settings. The key aspects of nonprofits is accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to every person who has invested time, money, and faith into the organization. Nonprofit organizations are accountable to the donors, funders, volunteers, program recipients, and the public community. Public confidence is a factor in the amount of money that a nonprofit organization is able to raise. The more nonprofits focus on their mission, the more public confidence they will have, and as a result, more money for the organization.

Human Subjects Research - Identifying Intent – Is this Project Research? Federal regulations give the Institutional Review Board (\"\"IRB\"\"), also known as the Human Subjects Committee (\"\"HSC\"\") the authority to oversee research involving human subjects. The IRB has no regulatory authority or jurisdiction to oversee activities that are legitimately classified as something other than research. Institutions prefer to have non-research activities handled by an entity other than the IRB, so that the IRB can focus its time and resources on managing its fundamental mission.

When evaluating a specific project, it is helpful to focus on two key elements:the project involves a systematic investigation, andthe design – meaning the goal, purpose, or intent – of the investigation is to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.

Ligaments supporting the uterus and connecting it to the groin region are collectively known as the round ligaments. Women often experience a sharp pain (round ligament pain) in this region during pregnancy due to the normal changes the body goes through during this time [1]. It does not harm the baby, but may lead to serious pain and discomfort for the mother. Round ligament pain (RLP) is most common during the second trimester [2], but can occur earlier in cases of twin pregnancies. Round Ligament Pain Location What Causes Round Ligament Pain in Pregnancy? During pregnancy, the uterus grows considerably in size with certain ligaments holding it in suspension within the abdomen. The growing size and weight of the uterus puts extra stress on the ligaments, which gradually become very thin and long [3]. As mentioned above, the round ligament is one of the principal ligaments holding the uterus in place, connecting it to the groin area (the region where the legs attach to the pelvis). The significant pressure put on this ligament by the growing uterus makes it stretch too much during pregnancy [4]. Then the ligament starts pulling and tugging on the nerve fibers and other sensitive structures located nearby, leading to moderate to severe pain [5]. An involuntary contraction of the round ligament is the most common cause of the pain. Round Ligament Pain Triggering Factors The pain may be triggered by exercises like running and jogging as well as sudden movements like: Coughing [3]Sneezing Rolling over in bed Laughing [2]Standing up quickly The pain may be triggered by baby movements (e.g. kicking) as it flexes the uterus, putting pressure on the ligament. Signs and Symptoms of Round Ligament Pain during Pregnancy Sharp pain in the groin or lower belly area (near the belly button), lasting for a few minutes or a constant mild ache The pain often starts in the groin region, extending upward to the abdomen and hip [4]Ligament spasms or cramping that are more common on one’s right side (as the uterus tends to turn right while growing), but can also be felt on both sides [5]Sharp pain in the middle of night, triggered by simple movements such as turning over in the bed Pain that tends to get worse with movement and exercise Pain that gets worse with a full bladder It may be confused with labor pain [6], but the latter does not generally occur until later in the third trimester." }, { "docid": "D1945028#0", "title": "http://www.medicinenet.com/glyburide/article.htm\nglyburide", "text": "\"Type 2 Diabetes: Learn the Warning Signs Diabetes Friendly Dining Type 2 Diabetes: Test Your Medical IQWhat is glyburide, and how does it work (mechanism of action)?

If your pregnancy is healthy, exercise doesn’t increase your risk of having a miscarriage, a premature baby (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or a baby born with low birthweight (less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces)." }, { "docid": "D2534884#0", "title": "https://www.diastasisrehab.com/what-is-diastasis-recti.php\nMy Account Info / LoginShop our ProductsREAD OURBelly BlogContact us", "text": "Diastasis Recti, a condition often ignored by the medical community, is a problem that screams for more attention, and that is why Everybelly® should be checked for diastasis recti. Here are some frequently asked questions about diastasis recti: Question: What is a diastasis? Answer: The word diastasis means separation. The recti muscles are the outermost abdominal muscles. So, it is a separation of the outermost abdominal muscles. When the muscles separate the connective tissue (linea alba) joining these muscle stretches sideways. The job of these muscles (called rectus abdominis), is to support your back and your organs. So why should you care if your muscles are separated? Because separated muscles are weak muscles. Separated muscles cannot do their job of supporting your back and organs." }, { "docid": "D3169004#0", "title": "http://michellemariefit.publishpath.com/reduce-thigh-weight-gain-with-this-pregnancy-workout\nReduce Thigh Weight Gain With This Pregnancy Workout", "text": "\"Reduce Thigh Weight Gain With This Pregnancy Workout By Michelle Marie Fit | August 6, 2015 | 5Facebook Twitter Google+Pinterest Email Why is it that the thighs and hips have to grow as the belly grows?

The heartbeat can be seen on ultrasound right around the 5 th week of gestation. However, even if the heartbeat is seen this will not rule out other causes of miscarriage such asbirth defects or chromosome abnormalities that may end the pregnancy. What Are the Chances of Miscarriage After Seeing Heartbeat? If miscarriage were to occur, 80% of them happen before the 12 th week of pregnancy. Out of those, 50% to 70% happen before women even know they are pregnant. The chances of miscarriage are actually quite low if you already see fetal heartbeat on ultrasound. There is approximately a 5%-10% chance of miscarriage after the baby’s heartbeat is visible. This does only apply if the fetal heart rate is a good number. Low heart rates may show a problem and that a miscarriage may be imminent." }, { "docid": "D3296645#0", "title": "https://www.medicinenet.com/progesterone_gel-vaginal/article.htm\nprogesterone intravaginal gel", "text": "A Visual Guide to PMS Slideshow Take the Menopause Quiz Pelvic Pain Pictures Slideshow What is progesterone gel-vaginal, and how does it work (mechanism of action)?

Physical exercise is bodily activity that improves or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. This type of exercise during pregnancy is important and can help with some common discomforts of pregnancy and even help prepare your body for labor and delivery. Is exercise during pregnancy safe? Overall and in most cases, exercise is safe during pregnancy. You will usually find it is even recommended. Typically, the first rule of thumb is if you were physically active before you were pregnant, it is likely safe to remain active during pregnancy. More than likely, your healthcare provider will tell you to remain active, as long as it is comfortable and there are no other health conditions suggesting otherwise. Now is not the time to exercise for weight loss, however, proper exercise during pregnancy will likely help with weight loss after the delivery of your baby.

They fade, but they do not go away. It is all different for everyone. It depends on how in shape you were before pregnancy, how much weight you gained, whether or not you had a c-section or vaginal birth, how many children you've had, etc. It's hard to give a specific timeframe, but yes dieting and exercise will help. I know a woman who was in phenomenal shape and went home wearing her size 4 jeans after birthing her 4th child. I have a friends who gained lots of weight and 15 years later has lots of extra skin that she probably will never get rid of unless she has a tummy tuck.

The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale gives you an idea of how hard you are training and whether you need to pick up the pace or slow it down a bit. Having a good approximation of how fast your heart is beating during exercise is a way to ensure you are exercising to reach your goals. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key RPE Defined The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion -- RPE -- is a rating scale ranging from six to 20 that gives an indication of your workout intensity level. A rating of six means you are not exerting yourself at all, while a rating of 20 means you are at maximal exertion. This perceived exertion is based on how you feel your body feels during exercise. The subjective test relies on bodily sensations during exercise, such as muscular fatigue, increased breathing rate and heart rate, and increased sweating. Choose Your Intensity Using the RPE scale on a regular basis helps you to understand the scale, to recognize your body's signs of exertion, and to modify your normal workout intensity. Rating yourself between 12 and 14 during exercise suggests that you are exercising at a moderate intensity -- somewhat hard. Once you feel that you are exercising \"\"somewhat hard,\"\" you can increase or decrease your efforts depending on how you feel and the intensity you require." }, { "docid": "D2467075#0", "title": "http://www.math4u.us/files/young_college5.html\n.", "text": "Get step-by-step solutions for your textbook problems from www.math4u.us Hugh D.

We have tried so hard over the years to clean up the image of darts. If you tell people you are a professional player, and that you do not go out playing in pubs all the time, and that you are actually at home and are boring, then I am boring. The level at which darts players train and practise now is greater than ever before. There is not a day when I do not throw a dart - I am going on a cruise now that the world championship is over, but I will be taking a dart board with me. Darts has a chance of being in the Olympics.

EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. This dilutes the O 2 in the incoming air stream and provides gases inert to combustion to act as absorbents of combustion heat to reduce peak in-cylinder temperatures. NO x is produced in a narrow band of high cylinder temperatures and pressures. In a gasoline engine, this inert exhaust displaces the amount of combustible matter in the cylinder. In a diesel engine, the exhaust gas replaces some of the excess oxygen in the pre-combustion mixture. [ 1] Because NO x forms primarily when a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is subjected to high temperature, the lower combustion chamber temperatures caused by EGR reduces the amount of NO x the combustion generates (though at some loss of engine efficiency).

Full Answer Outright valve failure can lead to a number of serious issues and cause a chain reaction of damaging events. In most cases, the problem begins with a broken or burnt-out valve. Burnt valves are caused by an improper seal between the valve and valve seat, which allows some of the extremely hot combustion gas to escape around the valve.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve recirculates a portion of the exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber in order to lower the combustion temperature, which helps your vehicle produce fewer oxides of nitrogen, a major pollutant. How does the EGR valve work? The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is computer controlled and/or electrically or vacuum operated. The valve is commanded open at the appropriate time to also the proper amount of exhaust gas to enter the combustion chamber. This exhaust gas lowers the combustion temperature, reducing the amount of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) created during the combustion process.

This results in a cooler, more complete burn of the fuel which decreases your car's noxious emissions by prohibiting the formation of some harmful gasses. If your EGR valve is faulty or clogged, your engine starts to run badly. You also begin to pollute the atmosphere with exhaust gasses that your car is normally not dumping into the air. Regardless of your motivation -- economical or ecological -- a faulty EGR valve should be cleaned or replaced as soon as possible. If you're still interested in learning about your EGR valve, you'll find some helpful info below, along with a little troubleshooting help if you think your valve is bad or on its way out. Pros of an EGR Valve The EGR valve is vital to your car's emission controls. Exhaust gas recirculation helps to keep huge amounts of unburned fuel from being released into the atmosphere.

At high combustion temperatures, the Nitrogen in the air can combine with the air fuel mixture to produce Oxides of Nitrogen–a key component of smog. To reduce combustion chamber temperatures, the EGR valve opens and sends in a ballast charge of exhaust. Because sending exhaust into the mixture at idle would choke the engine, this is usually done when the engine is running at higher RPMs where it can handle the incoming exhaust. The computer tells the EGR how much to open, based on engine temperature and RPMs. Then, it monitors how well the EGR actually performed. Every car maker performs the monitoring using a different method. Ford, for example, senses exhaust flow in front of and behind a restriction in the line between the EGR and the intake manifold. The Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust sensor (DPFE) has a high failure rate.

OBD-II Code P0406 is defined as a Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High NOx gases, which are a leading cause of acid rain and in some people, respiratory problems, are formed when the engine combustion temperatures become too high (2500° F). EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-Circulation) systems are used to reduce the combustion temperature, thus reducing NOx formation. Code P0406 means that the EGR Valve Position Sensor is giving voltage readings that are too high, usually above the 4.0 - 4.5 voltage range. P0406 Symptoms Check Engine Light will illuminate In many cases, there may be performance problems, such as pinging on acceleration, when the engine is under load or when driving the vehicle at higher speeds In some cases, there are no adverse conditions noticed by the driver Common Problems That Trigger the P0406 Code Defective EGR Valve Position Sensor Defective EGR Valve Position Sensor connector and/or wiring The EGR Valve is defective and sticking open EGR Valve is full of carbon and con not close properly Improper proper vacuum or electrical signal to the EGR valve Malfunctioning EGR Vacuum supply solenoid Lack of proper EGR system feedback to the computer from the: Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP)Differential EGR Pressure Feedback Sensor (DPFE)EGR Valve Position Sensor (EVP)EGR Temperature Sensor The Basics The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system recycles a small amount of exhaust gas from the exhaust system (usually no more than 10 percent) and mixes it with the intake manifold air entering into the combustion chambers. The addition of this inert (or non-combustible) exhaust gas limits the peak combustion temperatures to a range that is below 2500° F, where the formation of nitrogen oxide (NOx) is know to occur. In some cases where the engine is pinging and/or knocking badly from a severe lack of EGR flow, misfires can take place which allow raw hydrocarbons (HC) to be released from the tailpipe. P0406 Diagnostic Theory for Shops and Technicians An example might be that the EGR Valve Position Sensor is telling the PCM that the EGR valve is wide open when the EGR valve should be closed and, there is no supporting data telling the PCM that EGR is flowing. The EGR Position Sensor Circuit malfunction code can be set under normal driving conditions or when the EGR OBD-II monitor test is performed. The EGR OBD-II monitor deploys a set of test criteria that are usually run during at least two different driving conditions—steady speed freeway driving and steady speed city driving." }, { "docid": "D1202665#0", "title": "http://world-nuclear.org/information-library/current-and-future-generation/cooling-power-plants.aspx\nCooling Power Plants", "text": "\"Cooling Power Plants (Updated February 2018)The amount of cooling required by any steam-cycle power plant (of a given size) is determined by its thermal efficiency. It has essentially nothing to do with whether it is fuelled by coal, gas or uranium. However, currently operating nuclear plants often do have slightly lower thermal efficiency than coal counterparts of similar age, and coal plants discharge some waste heat with combustion gases, whereas nuclear plants rely on water. Nuclear power plants have greater flexibility in location than coal-fired plants due to fuel logistics, giving them more potential for their siting to be determined by cooling considerations. The most common types of nuclear power plants use water for cooling in two ways: To convey heat from the reactor core to the steam turbines. To remove and dump surplus heat from this steam circuit. ( In any steam/ Rankine cycle plant such as present-day coal and nuclear plants there is a loss of about two-thirds of the energy due to the intrinsic limitations of turning heat into mechanical energy. ) The bigger the temperature difference between the internal heat source and the external environment where the surplus heat is dumped, the more efficient is the process in achieving mechanical work – in this case, turning a generator a. Hence the desirability of having a high temperature internally and a low temperature in the external environment. This consideration gives rise to desirably siting power plants alongside very cold water. ** Many power plants, fossil and nuclear, have higher net output in winter than summer due to differences in cooling water temperature.1." }, { "docid": "D1305666#0", "title": "http://www.hybridcars.com/2016-toyota-prius-specifications-revealed/\n2016 Toyota Prius Specifications Revealed", "text": "A rundown of the just-released 2016 Toyota Prius specifications indicates nearly a complete top-to-bottom makeover.

Khair Abstract: EGR systems have been commercialized as a NOx reduction method for a wide range of diesel engines from light-, medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines right up to two-stroke low-speed marine engines. A number of considerations must be taken into account when designing EGR systems including: deposit accumulation, contaminants, engine lubricant, system packaging and more. The main components of EGR systems are EGR valves and EGR coolers. Commercial EGR Systems Design Considerations EGR System Components Retrofit EGR Systems Commercial EGR Systems Exhaust gas recirculation ( EGR) is a NOx emission control technique applicable to a wide range of diesel engines from light-, medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines right up to two-stroke low-speed marine engines. The configuration of an EGR system depends on the required EGR rate and other demands of the particular application. Most EGR systems include the following main hardware components: One or more EGR control valves One or more EGR coolers Piping, flanges and gaskets Other specialized components are possible in certain types of systems, such as venturi mixer devices or EGR pumps. Heavy-Duty Engines. The EGR system for the DDC Series 60, Figure 1, is an example of the systems applied in many heavy-duty engines in North America for MY 2002 and later. The EGR system is a high pressure loop (HPL) system where a portion of the exhaust is taken from upstream of the turbocharger." } ]

Attempts to exonerate convicts are particularly controversial in death penalty cases, especially where new evidence is put forth after the execution has taken place. The term \"\"exoneration\"\" also is used in criminal law to indicate a surety bail bond has been satisfied, completed, and exonerated. The judge orders the bond exonerated; the clerk of court time stamps the original bail bond power and indicates exonerated as the judicial order.

C., where a judge declared him and his half brother Leon Brown innocent and ordered them both released from prison. Chuck Liddy/The News & Observer LUMBERTON, N. C. — Thirty years after their convictions in the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in rural North Carolina, based on confessions that they quickly repudiated and said were coerced, two mentally disabled half brothers were declared innocent and ordered released Tuesday by a judge here. The case against the men, always weak, fell apart after DNA evidence implicated another man whose possible involvement had been somehow overlooked by the authorities even though he lived only a block from where the victim’s body was found, and he had admitted to committing a similar rape and murder around the same time. The startling shift in fortunes for the men, Henry Lee Mc Collum, 50, who has spent three decades on death row, and Leon Brown, 46, who was serving a life sentence, provided one of the most dramatic examples yet of the potential harm from false, coerced confessions and of the power of DNA tests to exonerate the innocent. As friends and relatives of the two men wept, a Superior Court judge in Robeson County, Douglas B. Sasser, said he was vacating their convictions and Mr. Mc Collum’s death sentence and ordering their release. The courtroom erupted into a standing ovation. “We waited all these long years for this,” said James Mc Collum, the father of the man released from death row. “ Thank you, Jesus,” he repeated.

[ 3] [4] Newly available DNA evidence has allowed the exoneration and release of more than 20 death row inmates since 1992 in the United States, [5] but DNA evidence is available in only a fraction of capital cases. Others have been released on the basis of weak cases against them, sometimes involving prosecutorial misconduct; resulting in acquittal at retrial, charges dropped, or innocence-based pardons.

Flag Do you have to pay bail bond after you are sentenced? Answer by Familybailbonds Confidence votes 39A bail bond is an insurance policy purchased to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court. Once the defendant has been sentenced, the trial is over and any bail bonds are generally \"\"exonerated\"\" by the court, meaning that the insurance company is no longer responsible for guaranteeing the defendant's appearance. The only reason to get a bail bond after sentencing would be if the case was on appeal, and the defendant was trying to stay out of jail while the appeal is pending. That said, if you still owe the bail bondsman money, by all means YES! You need to pay the bondsman's fee (called the premium).5 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

By Matt Ferner Andy Sacks via Getty Images The Netfilx hit true-crime series “Making a Murderer” leaves many people wondering: Just how common is the story of a wrongful conviction in America’s criminal justice system? Too common, according a new report that tracks exonerations. Researchers found that 149 people were cleared in 2015 for crimes they didn’t commit — more than any other year in history, according to a report published Wednesday by the National Registry of Exonerations, a project of the University of Michigan Law School. By comparison, 139 people were exonerated in 2014. The number has risen most years since 2005, when 61 people were cleared of crimes they didn’t commit. “Historically, this is a very large number for a type of event that we’d like to think almost never happens or just doesn’t happen,” Samuel Gross, a University of Michigan law professor who helped write the report, told The Huffington Post. The men and women who were cleared last year had, on average, served 14.5 years in prison. Some had been on death row.

Introduced by Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, Senate Resolution 69 was passed unanimously by the Senate, Glazer’s office announced Thursday. The resolution calls on President Barack Obama to exonerate a group of munitions sailors referred to as the Port Chicago 50. They were part of more than 250 black munitions sailors who refused to return to the unsafe working conditions that led to a cargo vessel explosion in 1944 at the former Port Chicago Naval Magazine near Concord, which killed 320 of their fellow sailors as well as civilians. Around 200 of these sailors did return to work when threatened with the death penalty for what was referred to as mutinous conduct, but the 50 who resisted were sentenced to years of hard labor. The U. S. Navy eventually gave those of the 50 who had not committed later offenses a general discharge under honorable conditions, but the charges of mutiny were never rescinded. Glazer joined in the efforts of other Bay Area politicians, such as Mark De Saulnier, D-Walnut Creek, in an attempt to remove what they said were “racially biased convictions. ”“By exonerating these men, we can close an ugly chapter in California’s history and give proper recognition to the discrimination that took place at the time,” Glazer said in a statement. Efforts to exonerate the Port Chicago 50 have been ongoing since 1990, when a campaign led by 25 members of the U. S. Congress was unsuccessful in having the convictions overturned. In 2010, a resolution similar to Glazer’s was introduced to the California legislature and did not result in the exonerations." } ]

Educational grant provided by Women's Health and Education Center (WHEC). Since its description in 1925, colposcopy has served as a tool that has helped in saving the lives of many women with cervical precancer and cancer. To describe and interpret the colposcopic findings, colposcopists use the terminology of the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC). The current nomenclature committee was established at the 2008 International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy World Congress in Auckland, New Zealand. The committee examined the past three International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy terminologies from 1975, 1990 and 2002 by reviewing publications that critically analyzed each colposcopic sign, aiming to create an evidence-based terminology (1). In United States, the numbers of cases of cervical cancer diagnosed each year has been stable for over a decade at approximately 11,000; the numbers of deaths each year number just around 4,000 (2). These numbers remain stable despite population growth and the rapid rise in the incidence of pre-invasive disease since the 1960s, coincident with the increase in number of sexual partners and earlier age of onset of sexual relations in the general population. It is important to note that over half of the women diagnosed with and dying from cervical cancer have never undergone cytologic screening, or have been adequately screened.

In general, papilloma is a histopathological term describing tumors with specific morphology. They take on a classic finger like or cauliflower like appearance. Papillomatous lesions often are lobulated with a central vascular core. Irrelevant of its cytology, a neoplasm of epithelial origin with this form of growth is also called papilloma. Papillomas can be benign or malignant and can be found in numerous anatomical locations (eg, skin, conjunctiva, cervix, breast duct). Specifically, conjunctival papillomas are benign squamous epithelial tumors with minimal propensity toward malignancy. Conjunctival papillomas are categorized into infectious (viral), squamous cell, limbal, and inverted (histological description) based on appearance, location, patient's age, propensity to recur after excision, and histopathology. They demonstrate an exophytic growth pattern.

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Workup Treatment Media Gallery References Background Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, with over 40,000 new cases per year in the US. Of all primary HNSCCs, oropharyngeal carcinomas are the third most common, with the tonsil being the most common site of malignancy within the oropharynx. Historically, the standard treatment of tonsil cancer has consisted of surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. Given the important role the oropharynx plays in speech and swallowing, nonsurgical therapy with organ-preserving chemoradiation has gained a role in the treatment of tonsil carcinoma in attempts to avoid the morbidity of surgery. However, organ-preserving chemoradiation is not without its own morbidity. Additionally, minimally invasive transoral surgical techniques have become more widespread in the treatment of tonsillar carcinoma and may decrease the morbidity associated with surgical therapy. As such, the optimal treatment of tonsillar carcinoma is debated among head and neck oncologists. A study by Liederbach et al indicated that the trend toward surgical management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has increased since the 2009 approval by the US Food and Drug Administration of transoral robotic surgery and that tonsillar origin of the cancer is one of the independent predictors of surgical treatment. According to the study, the rate of surgery for oropharyngeal SCC fell from 41.4% in 1998 to 30.4% in 2009 but then rose again, reaching 34.8% in 2012. The investigators reported that between 2009 and 2012, surgery was more likely in patients who not only had SCC of tonsillar origin but who were young, female, white or Hispanic, and of high socioeconomic status and who had stage I disease, had comorbidities, lived more than 75 miles from the hospital, had private insurance, used academic hospitals, and used hospitals in the West North Central region.

Share Email Print Feedback Background Carcinoma of the buccal mucosa is relatively uncommon in North America, compared with other oral cavity cancers such as carcinomas of the tongue or floor of the mouth. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common pathology and more prevalent in those who use tobacco and alcohol. The image below depicts buccal carcinoma. Early oral squamous cell carcinoma in the buccal mucosa arising from a chronic candidal leukoplakia in a person who smokes heavily. The lesion was a painless, chronic indurated lump. Problem As the orifice of the upper aerodigestive tract, the oral cavity plays a critical role in breathing, speech, and swallowing. The buccal region is particularly important in bolus formation, preventing food from spilling into the lateral oral gutters or extraorally during the oral preparatory phase of swallowing. Cancer of the buccal mucosa and subsequent treatment of the disease may interfere with these functions. Buccal carcinoma has the propensity to become aggressive, with high rates of locoregional recurrence.

Viruses are very small organisms – most cannot even be seen with a regular microscope. They cannot reproduce on their own. They must enter a living cell, which becomes the host cell, and “hijack” the cell’s machinery to make more viruses. Different viruses can enter the body in different ways, such as: Through the mucous membranes, such as the inner lining of the nose or mouth, the lining of the eyes, or the genitals Through the digestive system (such as the lining of the stomach or intestines)Through insect bites, needle sticks, or other breaks in the skin Through unbroken skin Once inside the body, each virus infects a specific type of cell. For example, cold and flu viruses invade cells that line the respiratory tract (nose, sinuses, breathing tubes, and lungs). What is HPV? HPV is short for human papilloma virus.

Complex renal cysts have irregularities within the walls of the cyst and/or within the contents of the cyst. There are septations which are walls within the cyst. These walls may be very fine or thin or quite thick and coarse. Having many or thick walled septations may suggest that the cyst is more likely to be related to a kidney cancer.

In the early twentieth century, when the country was moving beyond an agricultural economy into the industrial era, the goal of public education was to provide school attendees with a basic education; the curriculum was dominated by reading, writing, arithmetic (Joyce, Hersh, & Mc Kibbin, 1983). In the current post-industrial period, however, our society has charged schools with delivering a high quality, multi-disciplinary education to all students, seeking to guarantee the promise of successful learning and adulthood employment for each of our children. To complicate this mandate, never before have students come to the public school from such diverse backgrounds, family patterns, and native languages. Thus, \"\"schools are searching for dramatic new ways to effectively meet the needs of all children,\"\" states a study group representing the American Association of School Administrators, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (Fulbright, 1988, preface). This search stems from the difficulties schools are encountering as they address the needs presented by an increasingly diverse student population. School and district governance are being re-examined, and educational leaders at all levels are focusing significant attention on restructuring schools and, specifically, on site-based decision making. Considering the Possibilities of Site-Based Decision Making Restructuring is defined by Corbett (1990) as making major changes in the school's organizational rules, roles, and relationships in order to obtain different results. Corbett's conceptualization resonates with Cuban's analysis of change. Cuban (1988), in analyzing school change over the past several decades, has categorized change efforts as either first-order change, \"\"trying to make what already exists more efficient and more effective . . ." }, { "docid": "D203893#0", "title": "https://www.names.org/n/expediency/about\nExpediency", "text": "Names.orgpopular trending lists Your Searches: <100 Expediency Embed Expediency Family History Free Horoscope Add Origin and Meaning Gender: Unknown First Name <100in the U.

The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted, and the ASU should be applied prospectively. If elected, the practical expedient would be an accounting policy that the employer would need to apply consistently to all plans. The employer would also be required to disclose the policy election as well as the resulting alternative measurement date used for its year-end measurement of retirement benefit obligations and plan assets. Background Under current U. S. GAAP, an employer that sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan (for pension or other postretirement benefits) is required to measure its retirement benefit obligations and plan assets as of its fiscal year-end (with the exception of plans sponsored by a consolidated subsidiary or equity method investee that has a fiscal year-end that is different from the parent’s or investor’s). 2The FASB established the practical expedient as part of its simplification initiative, 3 recognizing that an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month-end may have difficulty and incur additional costs in measuring the fair value of plan assets for its defined benefit retirement plans. Since third parties often provide information about fair value and classes of plan assets only as of the month-end, electing the practical expedient would relieve an employer from having to adjust the asset values to the appropriate fair values as of its fiscal year-end. Editor’s Note: In practice, some employers with fiscal year-ends that do not coincide with a month-end have nevertheless used measurements of the fair value of plan assets as of the nearest month-end as a reasonable approximation of the fiscal-year-end asset values." }, { "docid": "D668597#0", "title": "http://www.definitions.net/definition/Shift\nDefinitions &Translations", "text": "\"Vocabulary What does shift mean?

What does “Adjudicated” Mean? Share What is the meaning of Adjudication? Adjudication is a legal process that aims to expedite the delivery of resolutions or punishments to squabbling parties. The result of the adjudication process is a legally-binding judgment; the stipulations and demands of the judgment are legally upheld by a local or federal governing body. The adjudicated meaning simply refers to the formal legal process by which a judge or arbiter reviews evidence (including legal reasoning offered by litigants or opposing parties) to come to a decision in a legal matter. Typically the cases heard in adjudication setting revolve around disputes over money or non-violent infractions. Regardless of the legal matter at hand, all decisions rendered in the adjudication process will ultimately determine the distribution of rights and obligations for the parties involved. Adjudication is distinct from other justice-seeking or evidence-based resolution formats; in particular, the process is only used to solve the following types of disputes: Disputes between private parties, such as individual citizens or corporations (who possess a legal personality) Disputes that arise between public officials and private parties Disputes between public bodies and public officials Who is involved in the Adjudication Process?

The end of the State, we have seen, is to promote the welfare of its citizens as a whole, as members of families, and as members social classes. Anyone who is inclined to doubt the propriety of including the second and third of these clauses, will dismiss the inclination as soon as he looks beneath formulas and fixes his attention upon realities. State exists and functions for the sake of human beings. It attains this end primarily by safeguarding those interests that are common to all the persons under its jurisdiction; for example, by resisting foreign invasion and protecting life and property. If it stops at this point it will leave unprotected not only many individual interests, but many elements of the common good, many aspects of the general welfare. To neglect the integrity of the family or the prosperity of any considerable social class, will sooner or later injure society as a whole. To take care of these interests is, indirectly at least, to promote the common good. Nor is this all. Since individual welfare is the ultimate, though not strictly the formal, object of the State, that object ought to be deliberately promoted by the State, whenever it cannot be adequately furthered by any other agency. {" }, { "docid": "D2749754#0", "title": "https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/tehran/inside/govt.html\n.", "text": "\"An overview of the Iranian government and political system On the surface, the U. S. and Iranian governments have much in common: a president who is popularly elected, a boisterous legislature, and a powerful judiciary. The obvious difference lies in the fact that Iran is an Islamic theocracy, and that one man, the Supreme Leader, exerts ideological and political control over a system dominated by clerics who shadow every major function of the state. While Western governments welcomed the election of Mohammad Khatami -- a forward-thinking cleric known for his moderate views -- to the presidency in 1997 (and again in 2001), there are areas of the Iranian power structure over which he has virtually no control, including the armed services. Below is a brief overview of the key components of Iran's government and political system. SUPREME LEADERAt the top of Iran's power structure is the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who succeeded Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the father of the Iranian Revolution, upon Khomeini's death in 1989. Khomeini and Khamenei are the only two men to have held the office since the founding of the Islamic Republic in 1979. According to Iran's Constitution, the Supreme Leader is responsible for the delineation and supervision of \"\"the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran,\"\" which means that he sets the tone and direction of Iran's domestic and foreign policies. The Supreme Leader also is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and controls the Islamic Republic's intelligence and security operations; he alone can declare war or peace. He has the power to appoint and dismiss the leaders of the judiciary, the state radio and television networks, and the supreme commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He also appoints six of the twelve members of the Council of Guardians, the powerful body that oversees the activities of Parliament and determines which candidates are qualified to run for public office." }, { "docid": "D1930011#0", "title": "http://thesurvivalmom.com/reality-coffee-filters-preparedness-uses-hint-mostly-fail/\nThe Reality of Coffee Filters for Preparedness Uses (Hint: Mostly Fail!)", "text": "The Reality of Coffee Filters for Preparedness Uses (Hint: Mostly Fail! ) July 8, 2014 by Rob Hanus 7 Comments Pin 100 Share 280 Tweet +1 4384WARNING: This article dispels commonly held beliefs about the uses of coffee filters for preparedness uses.

Both alike are concerned with such things as come, more or less, within the general ken of all men and belong to no definite science. Accordingly all men make use, more or less, of both; for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements and to maintain them, to defend themselves and to attack others. Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from acquired habit. Both ways being possible, the subject can plainly be handled systematically, for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art. Now, the framers of the current treatises on rhetoric have constructed but a small portion of that art. The modes of persuasion are the only true constituents of the art: everything else is merely accessory. These writers, however, say nothing about enthymemes, which are the substance of rhetorical persuasion, but deal mainly with non-essentials." } ]

C. K Taylorby Courtney Taylor Updated January 27, 2018The standard deviation and range are both measures of the spread of a data set. Each number tells us in its own way how spaced out the data are, as they are both a measure of variation. Although there is a not an explicit relationship between the range and standard deviation, there is a rule of thumb that can be useful to relate these two statistics. This relationship is sometimes referred to as the range rule for standard deviation. The range rule tells us that the standard deviation of a sample is approximately equal to one-fourth of the range of the data. In other words s = (Maximum – Minimum)/4. This is a very straightforward formula to use, and should only be used as a very rough estimate of the standard deviation. An Example To see an example of how the range rule works, we will look at the following example.

The process continues with subsequent steps to map out the solution. Single-step methods (such as Euler's method) refer to only one previous point and its derivative to determine the current value. Methods such as Runge–Kutta take some intermediate steps (for example, a half-step) to obtain a higher order method, but then discard all previous information before taking a second step.

In all states, one of the factors that will affect child support is the amount of time each parent spends with the children. When parents spend equal or almost equal time with their children, it is known as joint physical custody. But this does not necessarily mean that parents who see their children equally will receive no child support. The particular joint physical custody arrangement affects the amount of child support. Income Shares Model The most common formula for determining child support is called the income shares model. Under the income shares formula, child support is based on a percentage of the combined income of both parents. For example, if a mother earns $50,000 per year and a father earns $100,000 per year, their combined income is $150,000. The mother's percentage of the shared income is 33 percent and the father's percentage is approximately 67 percent.

We consider various forms of the SCET result, which correspond to different choices of the soft scale that characterizes this approach. We derive a master formula that relates the SCET resummation to the QCD result for any choice of. We then use it first, to show that if SCET resummation is performed in N -Mellin moment space by suitable choice of it is equivalent to the standard perturbative approach. Next, we show that if SCET resummation is performed by choosing for a partonic momentum variable, the perturbative result for partonic resummed cross-sections is again reproduced, but, like its standard perturbative counterpart, it is beset by divergent behaviour at the endpoint. Finally, using the master formula we show that when is chosen as a hadronic momentum variable the SCET and standard approach are related through a multiplicative (convolutive) factor, which contains the dependence on the Landau pole and associated divergence. This factor depends on the luminosity in a non-universal way; it lowers by one power of log the accuracy of the resummed result, but it is otherwise subleading if one assumes the luminosity not to contain logarithmically-enhanced terms. Therefore, the SCET approach can be turned into a prescription to remove the Landau pole from the perturbative result, but the price to pay for this is the reduction by one logarithmic power of the accuracy at each order and the need to make assumptions on the parton luminosity.

A chemical formula is an abbreviated description of a compound, with a compound being a chemical made from more than one single element. The formula uses the chemical symbols, in a precise pattern that follows the make-up of the compound, to accurately describe the chemical's elemental and electrical structure. An example of a compound, or chemical formula, is H2O. 2 parts Hydrogen to 1 part Oxygen. The H is the element (or symbol), as is the O, whereas the H20 is the formula (or compound).7 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

You'll need to work hard to get your brain around some of this. Arguments consist of a) Claims and b) Reasons or Premises (for our purpose, a reason or a premise are different words for the same thing). The claim is simply the main idea the argument attempts to present or defend; in writing it’s often called the “thesis”. We judge the validity of an argument by analyzing its logic and evidence; in simple terms, logic refers to the relationship between reasons or premises in an argument; how those reasons are combined to reach a conclusion. “Analyzing” means \"\"to take apart\"\" (literally: \"\"to dissolve\"\"), to identify and label those parts, and to examine the relationship between the different parts. This is as true of arguments as it is of “psychoanalysis” or simply analyzing why your car won’t start. To analyze an argument we:1) Identify the claim: what is the single unifying idea the argument wants you to believe?2) Separate the reasons from and the other elements of the argument (such as appeals to other Line of Argument)3) Separate the reasons from each other4) Identify and state the implicit reason behind each of these explicit reasons (this is the hard part)5) Identify the evidence necessary to prove each reason and evaluate whether or not the argument has adequately presented that evidence.6) Examine the logic used to connect all these elements to the claim. When analyzed, all arguments will look something like this: Basic A rgument Outline Note that the method presented above will not only help us judge the validity of an argument; it will also show us how to construct valid or persuasive arguments.

For other uses, see Tautology (disambiguation). In logic, a tautology (from the Greek word ταυτολογία) is a formula or assertion that is true in every possible interpretation. A simple example is \"\" (x equals y) or (x does not equal y)\"\" (or as a less abstract example, \"\"The ball is green or the ball is not green\"\"). Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein first applied the term to redundancies of propositional logic in 1921. ( It had been used earlier to refer to rhetorical tautologies, and continues to be used in that alternative sense.) A formula is satisfiable if it is true under at least one interpretation, and thus a tautology is a formula whose negation is unsatisfiable. Unsatisfiable statements, both through negation and affirmation, are known formally as contradictions." } ]

With a wide aperture (so a low number, like f/1.8) gives a shallow depth of field - sometimes less than a millimetre with a macro lens. Because a lot of light is reaching the sensor (be it film or digital), this allows for fast shutter speeds With a narrow aperture (so a high number like f/22), the depth of field is much greater, which is useful for things like landscape photography - it will limit the amount of light reaching your sensor, so you will get slower shutter speeds, which makes a tripod handy.share improve this answeranswered Jul 15 '10 at 19:53Rowland Shaw12.5k 8 58 11311But what is aperture? – mattdm Dec 6 '11 at 17:534It's the size of the opening through which light goes to reach the camera's sensor. – Nicolas Bouliane Aug 7 '15 at 13:261@Nicolas Bouliane If only that comment were in the answer ... – mattdm Jul 19 '17 at 17:49Narrow aperature can cause difraction and limit the sharpness in certain cases. cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/diffraction-photography.htm Wide open aperature may also exacerbate various defects in the lense, such as chromatic aberation, sharpness, etc... I don't pretend I understand fully the physics why, but I think it has something to do with light hitting the edge of the lenses, which bends the light more and makes defects more visible. – Calyth Sep 15 '17 at 21:06add a commentup vote50down vote Aperture simply means \"\"opening\"\", and in photography we use the term to refer to the diameter of the opening in a special adjustable diaphragm within each lens. When this diaphragm is constricted, there's less physical space for light to get in, so naturally the exposure is darker, and a more-open aperture allows more light and results in a lighter exposure." }, { "docid": "D2076297#0", "title": "http://www.ewg.org/research/cellphoneradiation/faq\nEWG's Guide to Safer Cell Phone Use: Cellphone FAQs", "text": "\"August 27, 2013EWG's Guide to Safer Cell Phone Use: Cellphone FAQs Frequently Asked Questions about Cell Phones What needs to be done to protect people from cell phone radiation, and how can I help?

A.0.2.2 The criteria for determining health hazards are test method neutral, i.e., they do not specify particular test methods, as long as the methods are scientifically validated. A.0.2.3 The term \"\"scientifically validated\"\" refers to the process by which the reliability and the relevance of a procedure are established for a particular purpose. Any test that determines hazardous properties, which is conducted according to recognized scientific principles, can be used for purposes of a hazard determination for health hazards. Test conditions need to be standardized so that the results are reproducible with a given substance, and the standardized test yields \"\"valid\"\" data for defining the hazard class of concern. A.0.2.4 Existing test data are acceptable for classifying chemicals, although expert judgment also may be needed for classification purposes.

Air pollution is news. The Daily Mail claims that Air pollution is ‘killing 40,000 a year in the UK’ Greenpeace says 40,000 lives were cut short by air pollution in the U. K., while the Guardian reports Air pollution crisis ‘plagues’ UK, finds UN human rights expert. But where does the 40,000 figure come from, what does it mean, and is there really a ‘crisis’? I discovered that digging down to the basis for this figure required some statistical detective work, so brace yourself for some forensic details…photos courtesy Edward Gryspeerdt Where the ‘40,000’ comes from The number itself was rather easy to find: it comes from a 2016 report Every Breath We Take: the Lifelong Impact of Air Pollution by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), in which they state Each year, inhaling particulates causes around 29,000 deaths in the UK, which, on recent evidence, may rise to around 40,000 deaths when also considering nitrogen dioxide exposure This report, it turns out, combined 29,000 ‘attributable deaths’ from PM2.5 (particulates less than 2.5 micrometers) estimated in a report by the Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollution (COMEAP) in 2009, and 23,500 attributable deaths from NO2 (nitrogen dioxide, for which diesel engines are particularly blamed) from a report from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in 2015. Naively adding these two numbers comes to 29,000 + 23,500 = 52,500. Not 40,000. But COMEAP said in 2015 that “ adding the results, would give an overestimate of the combined effects of the two pollutants”, as studies show that the combined effect is not that much greater than either alone. Since COMEAP are still carrying out their analysis of the degree of overlap, the RCP report had to make a judgement call and simply declared “ this report adopts a combined estimate of around 40,000 deaths annually”, possibly because 40,000 is a nice round figure that lies roughly half way between 29,000 and 52,500.

Since I live in Rhode Island, an hour south of Boston, I thought it was time put into practice my mantra from Harry Callahan: \"\"A man must know his limitations.\"\" Insurance education is not just learning to fill in the knowledge gaps but also to learn if what one already knows is actually correct. Many people in our industry rely on information garnered from quizzing others to learn about insurance coverage. Few take the time to read an insurance policy to understand coverage. When an insurance policy is not consulted directly for coverage questions, it's possible that misinformation will pass from one person to another, and for the misinformation to live on until a coverage issue arises—not an ideal time to learn that one did not understand the coverage or the lack thereof—thus, the importance of the Jewish proverb cited above in relation to how to understand what is covered in an insurance policy." }, { "docid": "D3281424#0", "title": "http://www.breastcancerdeadline2020.org/breast-cancer-information/understanding-research/what-are-the-different-types.html\nWhat are the different types of research studies?", "text": "\"Home > Breast Cancer Information > Understanding Research What are the different types of research studies? Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER)Comparative effectiveness research (CER) is a direct comparison of existing options available for treating a particular medical condition.

It may also compare the effectiveness of how and when health care is delivered, such as different intervals of follow-up, or schedules of dosing. CER can use a range of research tools and methods, including systematic review of existing studies and evidence, modeling to simulate effects of interventions on different populations, or head-to-head clinical trials comparing one treatment to another. There are many different types of research studies, some conducted in laboratories, and some in hospitals or clinics. Some studies are observational, while others are \"\"experimental\"\" and involve evaluating interventions. Each has a different design and methods, and each has its strengths and limitations.

For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system: if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged." } ]

NAD+ is the oxidized form (i.e. the form with less electron density) where NADH is the reduced (i.e. with higher electron density). What it does in metabolism is, NAD+ receives two electrons by oxidizing glyceraldehyde-3-phospahte in the glycolysis (remember, enzymes can reverse, meaning that hile this is the way catabolism happens, anabolism is also possible), or from isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate and malate in the Krebs cycle. NADH is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix (by a \"\"shuttle\"\", it does not itself cross the membrane, but utilizes the Malate-aspartate shuttle ), where it delivers the electrons to the electron transport chain (which is producing ATP by oxidative phosphorylation).

The vapor pressure of the water is lowered whenever a solute is added to a solvent because there are fewer solvent particles on the surface to evaporate. The diagram above shows that the vapor pressure of the solution is lower than that of the pure solvent, Therefore, the freezing point is also lowered. Another, more simplistic, way of looking at the problem is to recognize that in order for water to freeze, it has to slow down enough (lose enough kinetic energy due to lowering of temperature) so that its molecules can get close enough to link up into a solid. The solute gets in the way of this linking together, so the solvent has to slow down even more by losing more kinetic energy due to even lower temperatures.31.3k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

This allows electrons to gain energy and thereby move through a conductor such as a metal. If no such states are available, the material is an insulator.\"\" Most insulators have a large band gap. This occurs because the \"\"valence\"\" band containing the highest energy electrons is full, and a large energy gap separates this band from the next band above it.

This was not part of your original question, but addresses Manishearth's modifications: Because atoms and molecules react in discrete units (cf. the law of definite proportions ), the number of particles is more fundamental than the masses of those particles. The mole is useful in chemistry because it is defined such that the mass of Avogadro's number of particles (atoms or molecules) of a substance (the molar mass) is equal to the sum of the numerical values of the atomic masses of its constituent elements. The value of the mole is calibrated such that the molar mass of carbon-12 is exactly 12 grams per mole. On the periodic table you will note that the atomic masses given are non-integral (often markedly so, e.g. chlorine at 35.45 g/mol). This is because the atomic masses represent a weighted average of isotopic masses, and because the proton and neutron masses aren't quite equal." }, { "docid": "D3509609#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/Heating-sugar-will-cause-it-to-break-down-into-carbon-and-water-vapour-what-is-the-name-of-this-chemical-change\nHeating sugar will cause it to break down into carbon and water vapour. what is the name of this chemical change?", "text": "\"Chemicals (commodities) Substance Abuse Properties of Water Chemistry of Everyday Life Water Science Chemistry Heating sugar will cause it to break down into carbon and water vapour. what is the name of this chemical change?ad by UC Berkeley Extension Prepare for grad school & health careers.

The combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water. Thus the combustion of octane is given by -C8H18 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2OTo balance this equation, we need to balance the atoms on the left and right hand side. Octane has an excess of C and H and we use it as a reference. There are 8 carbon atoms and 18 hydrogen atoms in an octane molecule. Thus there should be 8 carbons and 18 hydrogens on the right, which is obtained by a prefix of 8 for CO2 and 9 for H2O. C8H18 + O2 ---> 8CO2 + 9 H2ONow we have to balance the oxygen atoms. On the right side, there are (8X2)+9 = 25 atoms. Thus we can balance the oxygen atoms by putting a prefix of 25/2 on the left side." }, { "docid": "D1471942#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-makes-water-boil\nWhat makes water boil?", "text": "\"Properties of Water Water Science Chemistry What makes water boil?ad by Atlassian Jira official site.

If bubbles are easy to form, the water will boil at a little over the boiling temperature (nucleate boiling). If bubbles are difficult to form, the water will boil at a significantly higher temperature than expected. If bubbles are very difficult to form, and the water is heated very quickly, at a certain point a film will form quickly on the heating element, the temperature of the heating element will rise very quickly and the water will boil away very quickly indeed (film boiling). Long version The type of boiling that Ashley Hawkins has described is not very common. There are two requirements to boil water, in, for example, a kettle or a pan: Enough energy to overcome the intermolecular attractions in the liquid.

Whether or not hair extensions are “remy” will have a huge affect on the quality and the longevity of the hair, which is why it is so important to understand the difference between remy and non remy products. Here we shall look at what it means for hair extensions to be classed as “remy”, what to look out for, and why it is so important for the quality of the hair. What does remy mean? The term remy refers to human hair that has been collected from a human hair donor, and has undergone minimal processing to ensure that the hair is soft, silky and tangle free. What makes remy hair unique from hair extensions simply classed as “human hair”, is that to ensure that the hair remains tangle free all of the cuticles have been aligned, ensuring that they are all facing in the same direction, as they would if they had grown naturally from your scalp.

When liquid is cold, say water at 0°C at normal pressute, there will be absolutely no water vapour at its surface as all water has solidified. It will be called as low vapor pressure. When water is boiled at normal pressure, 100°C, all the water will begin to vaporize and all its surface will be occupied by vapour. Pressure exerted by this vapor will be same as atmospheric and called as high vapor pressure. In relative terms, if a liquid has high vaporizing tendency than another liquid, example of petrol and water.

In general, a (physical) field is defined by ascribing every point in space (or spacetime in relativity) an object. When this object is a scalar, we talk about scalar fields. An example is a temperature field, where every point on the globe has some temperature (you see that on the weather forecast), or a potential energy field. If the objects are vectors, it’s a vector field, like the electrostatic field, magnetic field, velocity field of a flowing fluid etc. There are also useful tensor fields, like the stress or deformation field in continuum mechanics or the curvature of spacetime in GR.

By Michael Keenan Image Source/Photodisc/Getty Images In many jurisdictions, when you're charged with a crime or a traffic violation, you have the option of pleading no contest, also called a nolo contendere plea, in addition to the usual guilty or not guilty pleas. A no contest plea means that you admit the facts presented by the prosecution but don't admit guilt for the crime charged. Once you plead no contest, the court hands down a sentence. Giving a Statement When you plead no contest, you have a opportunity to explain why you're not pleading guilty or not guilty. Extenuating circumstances aren't required for you to enter a no contest plea, but depending on the circumstances, you may -- but certainly aren't guaranteed to -- receive a lesser sentence. And, the conviction still goes on your record in the same way it would if you had plead guilty or been convicted at trial.

Kate Dore Introduction If you’re among the one million homeowners who lost a home to foreclosure between 2007 and 2008, you may be starting to think about re-entering the housing market. If you went through a foreclosure during the earlier part of the financial crisis, it may no longer be on your credit report, and you may be qualified to try and become a homebuyer again. If you lost your home more recently, along with five million other Americans between 2007 and 2014, it’s never too early to start preparing yourself for the qualification process. The three major credit reporting firms, Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union, begin reporting your foreclosure once a lender says you have missed your first payment, and you will have to wait seven years before it is removed. However, there are a variety of different mortgage options available, with varying eligibility requirements, and some have shorter waiting periods that you may be able to take advantage of if you qualify.

If a mortgage can be transferred, it is referred to as “assumable\"\". Assumable mortgages fade in and out of popularity depending on the current interest rates. During periods of high mortgage rates, an assumption of an older mortgage with more favorable rates can be tremendously beneficial for the homebuyer. Not only will it save thousands of dollars interest charges, but a buyer who assumes a home mortgage can avoid the closing costs associated with securing a new mortgage loan. Assumable Mortgages What is mortgage assumption? Essentially, mortgage assumption is when a buyer assumes the mortgage payments and responsibilities of the existing mortgage held by the seller. In a mortgage assumption transaction, the buyer generally pays the seller cash as compensation for the equity already invested in the property. The buyer then assumes ownership of the mortgage and must make mortgage payments for the original monthly amount at the previously fixed rate of interest.

According to English procedure, the jury has no power to determine the punishment to be awarded for an offense. The sentence, with certain exceptions in capital cases, is within the sole discretion of the judge, subject to the statutory prescriptions as to the kind and maximum of punishment. It is common practice for juries to add to their verdict, guilty or not guilty, a rider recommending the accused to mercy on the ground of grave provocation received, or other circumstances which in their view should mitigate the penalty. Quite independently of any recommendation by the jury, the judge is entitled to take into account matters proved during the trial, or laid before him/her after verdict, as a guide to determining the quantum of punishment. Under French law, it is the sole right and the duty of a jury in a criminal case to pronounce whether or not the perpetration of the offense was attended by extenuating circumstances. They are not bound to say anything about the matter, but the whole or the majority may qualify the verdict by finding extenuation, and if they do, the powers of the court to impose the maximum punishment are taken away and the sentence to be pronounced is reduced in accordance with the scale laid down in art. 463 of the Code penal. The most important result of this rule in earlier times was to enable a jury to prevent the infliction of capital punishment for murder.

If late payments occur, most people are told that the waiting period for buying a home after a short sale is 3 years because that’s what FHA requires if late payments occur. Then they learn that Fannie Mae will back a loan for someone after a short sale after 2 years with a 10 percent down payment if there are “extenuating circumstances.” But what are extenuating circumstances? Fannie Mae describes “extenuating circumstances” as follows: Extenuating circumstances are nonrecurring events that are beyond the borrower’s control that result in a sudden, significant, and prolonged reduction in income or a catastrophic increase in financial obligations. If a borrower claims that derogatory information is the result of extenuating circumstances, a lender must substantiate the borrower’s claim. Examples of documentation that can be used to support extenuating circumstances include documents that confirm the event (such as a copy of a divorce decree, medical bills, notice of job layoff, job severance papers, etc.) and documents that illustrate factors that contributed to the borrower’s inability to resolve the problems that resulted from the event such as a copy of insurance papers or claim settlements, listing agreements, lease agreements, tax returns (e.g. covering the periods prior to, during, and after a loss of employment). A lender must obtain a letter from the borrower explaining the relevance of the documentation." }, { "docid": "D1538417#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/fha-consider-extenuating-circumstance-foreclosure-39627.html\nWhat Does the FHA Consider an Extenuating Circumstance with Foreclosure?", "text": "Related Articles How to Buy a Home After a Deed in Lieu How to Qualify for a FHA Home Loan After a Foreclosure How to Write Letters of Explanation for a Mortgage Underwriter Where Can I Get a House Loan if I Have a Foreclosure on My Credit Report? The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insures mortgages for borrowers with credit challenges. An agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), FHA enables lenders to finance home loans for those with credit mishaps such as foreclosure. FHA's guarantee to repay the lender if the homeowner defaults gives lenders the confidence to finance otherwise risky borrowers. FHA may excuse a previous foreclosure if it was the proven result of a serious event, or extenuating circumstance. The Basics Foreclosure is the legal process by which a lien holder, usually a mortgage lender, deprives a borrower of his ownership rights on the property because of the borrower's failure to repay the loan. Likewise, the government may foreclose on homeowners who fail to pay property taxes. Borrowers with a previous foreclosure are eligible for a FHA-insured mortgage after three years have elapsed, according to HUD. Extenuating Circumstance A FHA lender may grant an exception to the three-year waiting-period restriction if the borrower can document that the foreclosure was a result of circumstances beyond the borrower's control.

FHA Loan Limits How to Get an FHA Loan FHA Loan Interest Rates What is an FHA Loan? An FHA loan is a mortgage that’s insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). They are popular especially among first time home buyers because they allow down payments of 3.5% for credit scores of 580+. However, borrowers must pay mortgage insurance premiums, which protects the lender if a borrower defaults. Borrowers can qualify for an FHA loan with a down payment as little as 3.5% for a credit score of 580 or higher. The borrower’s credit score can be between 500 – 579 if a 10% down payment is made. It’s important to remember though, that the lower the credit score, the higher the interest borrowers will receive. The FHA program was created in response to the rash of foreclosures and defaults that happened in 1930s; to provide mortgage lenders with adequate insurance; and to help stimulate the housing market by making loans accessible and affordable for people with less than stellar credit or a low down payment." }, { "docid": "D1785868#0", "title": "http://articles.latimes.com/2013/sep/04/business/la-fi-fha-mortgages-20130905\nFHA eases rules for some borrowers after bankruptcy, foreclosure", "text": "\"FHA eases rules for some borrowers after bankruptcy, foreclosure To qualify for the break, FHA borrowers must show that their foreclosure or bankruptcy was caused by external economic factors.

Scott Reckard Some borrowers who defaulted on previous mortgages can now get a new FHA… (Justin Sullivan / Getty…)The Federal Housing Administration wants to make it easier for people who have defaulted on their mortgages to get a new home loan with FHA backing. But there's a catch. To qualify for the break, borrowers must show that their foreclosure or bankruptcy was caused by external economic factors, reducing their income by 20% or more for six months. And no, you can't have quit your job or have been fired for cause. Those who can demonstrate such a pay cut, job loss or decline in business income now must spend only one year making timely rent and credit-card payments before they can apply to buy a home with an FHA-insured loan, a recent FHA bulletin explained. In addition, they must obtain housing counseling from an agency approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Borrowers generally are not eligible for a new FHA loan until three years after a foreclosure or two years after a bankruptcy. Previously, the death of a spouse or a medical emergency had been exceptions that could cut the wait to a year; now loss of income is listed as an extenuating circumstance as well. \"\" As the economy started getting better we were hearing about more and more people whose access to credit moving forward was being stifled by the situation the country has been through,\"\" FHA Commissioner Carol Galante said in an interview. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D722065#0", "title": "http://www.bu.edu/finaid/apply/special-circumstances/reconsideration/\nAppeal for Reconsideration", "text": "Appeal for Reconsideration All requests for reconsideration of a need-based financial aid decision are carefully reviewed and every effort is made to assist qualified students who fully document extenuating circumstances.

A failed state is a political body that has disintegrated to a point where basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government no longer function properly (see also fragile state and state collapse ). Likewise, when a nation weakens and its standard of living declines, it introduces the possibility of total governmental collapse. The Fund for Peace characterizes a failed state as having the following characteristics: Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions Inability to provide public services Inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community Common characteristics of a failing state include a central government so weak or ineffective that it has an inability to raise taxes or other support, and has little practical control over much of its territory and hence there is a non-provision of public services. When this happens, widespread corruption and criminality, the intervention of non-state actors, the appearance of refugees and the involuntary movement of populations, and sharp economic decline can occur. [ 1]The level of government control required to avoid being considered a failed state varies considerably amongst authorities.

One of these characteristics is the internalization or elimination of externalities. In particular, the cost of those externalities should be internalized. What does this mean? Externalities can be positive or negative. Thus, an externality can be a cost or benefit. It results from an activity or transaction of one economic actor and affects an uninvolved party (positively or negatively). This uninvolved actor did not choose to incur that cost or benefit. When a company makes a decision and does not have to pay the full cost of the decision, a negative externality exists.

Most businesses are cyclical – whether the business is B-to-B or C-to-C. In other words, there will be spikes – or more accurate – there will be feasts and famine in terms of demand. Heijunka is the Japanese term in Lean Manufacturing which mean “Production Leveling” or “Production Smoothing”. Indeed, Heijunka is a foundation in the Toyota House for a reason. Heijunka facilitates Just-in-Time (JIT). It does this for all departments as well as throughout the entire supply chain – across all suppliers. Heijunka reduces Muda, Muri, and Muda and improves production efficiency by leveling fluctuations in performance in the operation. Customer demand can bring about these fluctuations, or the operation itself with its inherent variation can produce fluctuations. The Toyota Production System (Lean Manufacturing) uses Heijunka to solve fluctuations brought about by customer demand by assembling a mix of models within each batch, which ensures that there is an inventory of product proportional the variability in demand.

You need to ask yourself, Is this something you as their manager have the time and skill to do? Or is this a situation where the use of a professional coach will be the most effective way to get results? Once you know who is performing the role of coach you then need to decide whether or not the coaching should be conducted in a formal or informal manner. Coaching can be done using professional coaching services supplied by an independent firm or consultancy, or it can be done by the manager themselves or by someone else within the organization. As part of your decision-making process you will have to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches. External Coaches External coaches have typically received a more extensive coaching training than managers, and have spent more time coaching people. In addition to their core coaching skills, external coaches with specialist expertise can be matched to the coachee's requirements. For example, a coach specializing in sales skills could be brought in to support a sales team. Team members may feel able to discuss issues with an external coach that they would not discuss with their line manager, and these hidden issues may be critical to improving performance." } ]

Heartburn is also its own distinct symptom related to stomach acid. Indigestion, on the other hand, isn’t related to stomach acid.

Sporadic indigestion is something most people experience in one way or another. The stomach often has a difficult time accepting certain trigger foods or being overstuffed, so it is not uncommon for most people to notice when they have eaten too much or hit the spice rack a little heavily. Constant or daily indigestion is another story. Usually this is indicative of a highly sensitive system or it is the body's way of indicating that there is a more serious problem. Relieving the symptoms are definitely one of the priorities, but if you experience indigestion 3 or more times per week you may wish to visit your physician to have a thorough analysis of the problem completed. Children and Indigestion It should be noted that it is highly unusual for children to experience indigestion. While they may feel particularly full or even have a \"\"tight tummy,\"\" a young child complaining of discomfort after eating several days per week should definitely be evaluated by a physician. In most cases a child's body is just more likely to expel the excess food and then respond by feeling much better.

It’s common for people to experience epigastric pain while they are eating or directly after eating. It can range in severity from mild discomfort to an extremely painful burning sensation. Epigastric pain can come with many other digestive symptoms, including constipation, diarrhea, and bloating.10 Causes of Epigastric Pain So if epigastric pain is so common, what’s causing it? The truth is, there are many possible causes of epigastric pain. Epigastric pain can be attributed to anything from trivial health issues to serious diseases.

The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. Dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior changes can help you lose weight. Prescription medications and weight-loss surgery are additional options for treating obesity. Symptoms Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Your body mass index is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms (kg) by your height in meters (m) squared.

In the years 2003-2004, 17.1% of children and teens, aged 2-19 years (over 12 and a half million young people) were overweight, and 32.2% of adults (over 66 million) were obese. Almost 5% of adults were extremely obese [1]. Researchers estimate that 15% of all children in the U. S. are overweight, and nearly 25% of Black and Hispanic children weigh too much [2] . Obesity is common enough among children that we can consider it an epidemic. Studies have shown a dramatic rise in the number of obese children in the last few decades in this country. Between 1980 and 2000 obesity rates doubled among children and tripled among teens [3]. What are the concerns about obesity in general?

When this happens, we draw on our fat stores to provide us with the extra energy we require to function properly. In the long term, this means we lose fat – and as a result, the pounds drop off. Quite simply, meal replacement products offer a way to help us control our calorie intake, without having to worry about counting them for two meals a day.

My objective in writing this article is to present the facts about Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and let you decide if its as benign as the recent foodie hype over at the New York Times ( China’s True Dash of Flavor by Fuchsia Dunlop) would have you believe. Introduction MSG was discovered (1908) by Kikunae Ikeda (Tokyo Imperial University) when he was trying to pin down the chemistry behind the flavor later termed “ umami “, a Japanese word that is the “IT” word amongst name-dropping with-it foodies today. He isolated this flavor from seaweed broth and called it Monosodium Glutamate. With the help of the Ajinomoto Corp of Japan, Ikeda patented MSG in 1909 and it was made commercially available for the first time. Thus, MSG has been around and in commercial use for almost 100 years. MSG was desirable because it boosted the sensation of “savory” flavors in food, especially important if you are involved with vegetarian cuisines or if you are preparing low-protein content foods for mass marketing. MSG is now so ubiquitous in our food chain (east and west) that you would be very hard pressed to go MSG-free. As you would expect, junk foods and instant foods like soups and other mixes contain MSG. Prepared food in your grocery stores and at fast food outlets (KFC chicken skin is massively loaded with MSG) and fine dining restaurants alike are awash in MSG." }, { "docid": "D822291#0", "title": "http://www.code-interactive.com/thinker/a106.html\nThe Purpose of a Diet", "text": "\"The Purpose of a Dietadmin June 8, 2015 Healthy Living The Purpose of a Diet - an excerpt from \"\"Zero to Paleo\"\"Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

Ever since certain fad diets became popular in the seventies and eighties, the general conception of a ‘diet’ is viewed as a quick and easy tool to help its participants lose a few pounds, without any regard to lifelong eating habits. In other words, it is seen as a short-term fix. What ends up happening with people on these diets geared to the short term is that they tend to go back to eating poorly after the weight goal has been met or worse, hasn’t been met and seems impossible to achieve. In fact, researchers at UCLA have recently revealed shocking findings: dieting just doesn’t work. The school reviewed 31 long-term studies on dieting and found that people who go on diets usually end up regaining all of the weight they lost, plus some. In addition to the weight gain, researchers say that the ups and downs of dieting cause added stress and contribute to heart disease. The study seems bleak for those looking to shed pounds, but, still, people continue to try quick-fix diets multiple times, usually to no avail. This type of yo-yo dieting is confusing to the body and frustrating for one’s mental state, however appealing it may seem with the shocking claims these short-term diet pushers make." }, { "docid": "D851607#0", "title": "http://www.plus-size-pregnancy.org/lgbpcuffs.htm\nThe Importance of Large Blood Pressure Cuffs", "text": "\"The Importance of Large Blood Pressure Cuffsby Kmom Copyright © 1996-2003 Kmom@Vireday.

He convincingly argues that obesity is a hormonal disorder that can only be conquered by eating in a way that brings hormones into balance. Buy the Book I love this book. The Obesity Code eats most other weight loss books for lunch, without gaining an ounce. When Dr. Jason Fung asked me to review his new book, The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, I eagerly agreed, and I’m delighted to say that his book truly exceeded my expectations. Dr. Fung argues that obesity is not about calories or fat grams or exercise, but about hormones. The main character in his book is insulin, a powerful hormone that regulates our metabolism.

Think about your own motivation for reading this article. Are you trying to learn the material so that you can get a good grade in your psychology class? This means that you are studying the material to gain external reinforcement (getting a good grade), which means that your behavior is extrinsically motivated. If, on the other hand, you are reading this because you are interested in learning more about human behavior, then that would be an example of intrinsic motivation. People who are extrinsically motivated will continue to perform an action even though the task might not be in and of itself rewarding.

Learning Objectives Summarize the evolutionary perspective on motivation Key Takeaways Key Points Evolutionary psychology states that genetic mutations are capable of altering not only physical traits, but also behavioral traits. All animals, including humans, act in ways that improve their reproductive success; this results in social processes that maximize genetic fitness. According to evolutionary theory, those who are the most fit are the most likely to survive, and eventually the population evolves in such a way that their traits manifest themselves across the population. From an evolutionary point of view, behaviors are not made consciously; they are instinctual, and based on what is most advantageous in terms of passing one’s genes to the next generation. William James (1842–1910) was an important contributor to early research into motivation, and he theorized that behavior was driven by a number of instincts that aid survival. Optimization theory is concerned with assessing the success of behaviors. It states that individuals are motivated to adopt strategies that allow them to consume the most energy while expending the least amount of energy. Key Termsgenotype: The combination of alleles, situated on corresponding chromosomes, that determines a specific trait of an individual, such as “Aa” or “aa”.instinct: A natural or inherent impulse or behavior; the capacity of an animal to complete a complex behavior automatically, without intermediate conscious awareness.fitness: A concept in evolutionary theory related to natural selection; an organism’s potential for survival and successful reproduction.natural selection: A process by which heritable traits conferring survival and reproductive advantage to individuals, or related individuals, tend to be passed on to succeeding generations and become more frequent in a population, whereas other less favorable traits tend to become eliminated.

This enhancement is particularly relative in emotional memory. In particular, the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and the amygdala are affected.

Emotional self-regulation or regulation of emotion is the ability to respond to the ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible to permit spontaneous reactions as well as the ability to delay spontaneous reactions as needed. [ 1] It can also be defined as extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions. [ 2] Emotion self-regulation belongs to the broader set of emotion-regulation processes, which includes the regulation of one's own feelings and the regulation of other people's feelings. [ 3] [4]Emotional regulation is a complex process that involves initiating, inhibiting, or modulating one's state or behavior in a given situation – for example the subjective experience (feelings), cognitive responses (thoughts), emotion-related physiological responses (for example heart rate or hormonal activity), and emotion-related behavior (bodily actions or expressions). Functionally, emotional regulation can also refer to processes such as the tendency to focus one's attention to a task and the ability to suppress inappropriate behavior under instruction. Emotional regulation is a highly significant function in human life. Every day, people are continually exposed to a wide variety of potentially arousing stimuli. Inappropriate, extreme or unchecked emotional reactions to such stimuli could impede functional fit within society; therefore, people must engage in some form of emotion regulation almost all of the time.

While both types are important, researchers have found that intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation can have different effects on behaviors and how people pursue goals. In order to understand how these types of motivation influence human action, it is important to understand what each one is and how it works. What Is Extrinsic Motivation? Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity to earn a reward or avoid punishment. Examples of behaviors that are the result of extrinsic motivation include: Studying because you want to get a good grade Cleaning your room to avoid being reprimanded by your parents Participating in a sport to win awards Competing in a contest to win a scholarship In each of these examples, the behavior is motivated by a desire to gain a reward or avoid an adverse outcome.

Since positive psychology deals with positive emotions and ways to nurture individual’s strengths, SDT is useful in merging a good amount of work in positive psychology. SDT claims that people have three innate psychological needs that are considered as universal necessities. SDT also asserts that there are different approaches to motivation, and differentiates between different types of motivation.

Self-determination theory (SDT) is a theory of motivation that aims to explain individuals’ goal-directed behavior. Motivation resides along a continuum, with intrinsic motivation on the far right, extrinsic motivation in the middle and amotivation on the far left. Intrinsic motivation is ideal; people engage in an activity because of internal factors and are therefore likely to sustain the activity for their own reasons. Extrinsic motivation is driven by external forces; it is a less preferred state than intrinsic motivation, but better than amotivation, which is a complete absence of motivation. The critical component of the theory concerns the degree to which individuals fulfill their basic psychological needs; the more they attain these basic psychological needs, the more their behavior is self-determined. The three needs are autonomy, competence and relatedness. This article suggests ways in which you can positively influence clients’ motivation to exercise by maximizing their autonomy, competence and relatedness. Autonomy Autonomy is defined as freedom of choice. Autonomy is high when individuals feel they are engaging in exercise because they choose to do so, not because they feel pressured by other people or external factors." }, { "docid": "D1772859#0", "title": "http://study.com/academy/lesson/extrinsic-motivation-in-psychology-definition-examples-types.html\nExtrinsic Motivation in Psychology: Definition, Examples & Types", "text": "Instructor: Yolanda Williams Yolanda has taught college Psychology and Ethics, and has a doctorate of philosophy in counselor education and supervision.

Overview of Extrinsic Motivation Imagine that you were conducting a research study on the motivation of business students to pursue a degree beyond their bachelors. You find that 75% of those who responded said they chose to get an advanced degree because they loved the field of business, enjoyed school, or enjoyed learning about new things. The other 25% indicated that they got an advanced degree to get a raise, find a job with better benefits, or to earn their parents' approval. The reasons that the 25% gave for continuing are examples of extrinsic motivation. Motivation: Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic You are probably familiar with the term motivation. Motivation refers to your drive or reason for doing something. Without motivation, we would have no inspiration, and we would not get very much accomplished." } ]

Alternative Treatment Options Effective Exercises For Treating a Disc Extrusion Medications and Dealing With Potential Side Effects By Michael Perry, M. D. Disc extrusion is a degenerative disc disease that occurs when a disc in the spine tears or bulges under the constant pressure or surrounding vertebrae. In some severe cases, the outer layer of the disc can tear, allowing inner disc fluid to leak into the spinal canal. On its own, disc extrusion does not cause any pain or symptoms. However, if damaged disc material or inner disc fluid enters the spinal canal and touches a local nerve, a series of painful symptoms can be experienced. These symptoms include: Pain at the location of the nerve and into the nearby extremity Muscle weakness or tingling Numbness Pins-and-needles feeling The most common way to develop disc extrusion — also referred to as a herniated disc — is simply through growing older. As we age, the soft, spongy discs that cushion our spine gradually begin to deteriorate as water and protein content diminish. Eventually, the discs weaken and become brittle, allowing tears to develop in the fibrous outer walls of the discs. It is through these tears that the nucleus material escapes a disc. Fortunately, several treatment options are available to heal the disc and relieve the symptoms of pain and discomfort." }, { "docid": "D2638226#0", "title": "http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/book/export/html/1055\nIgneous Rocks Lesson #12", "text": "\"Igneous Rocks Lesson #12When most people think about igneous rocks they envision a volcano erupting pumice and lava. The term igneous comes to us from the Latin word \"\" Ignis \"\" which means fire. Igneous rocks are produced this way but most igneous rocks are produced deep underground by the cooling and hardening of magma. Magma is molten (melted) rock under the surface of the Earth. It is produced in the upper reaches of the mantle or in the lowest areas of the crust usually at a depth of 50 to 200 kilometers. The diagram above shows you where magma is produced at a subduction zone. Magma is less dense than the surrounding rock which causes it to rise. When magma reaches the surface it is then called lava and the eruptions of lava and ash produce volcanoes. The lava that reaches the Earth's surface will harden and become igneous rock.

Metal forming processes are characteristic in that the metal being processed is plastically deformed to shape it into a desired geometry. In order to plastically deform a metal, a force must be applied that will exceed the yield strength of the material. When low amounts of stress are applied to a metal it will change its geometry slightly, in correspondence to the force that is exerted. Basically it will compress, stretch, and/or bend a small amount. The magnitude of the amount will be directly proportional to the force applied. Also the material will return to its original geometry once the force is released. Think of stretching a rubber band, then releasing it, and having it go back to its original shape. This is called elastic deformation. Once the stress on a metal increases past a certain point, it no longer deforms elastically, but starts to undergo plastic deformation." }, { "docid": "D1909017#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_do_igneous_rocks_with_glassy_textures_form'\nHow do igneous rocks with glassy textures form'?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Earth Sciences Geology Igneous Rock How do igneous rocks with glassy textures form'?

Post a comment!Create an account [–] allochthonous 8 points 4 years ago *Well, really the mechanism that creates granitic magma is subduction of oceanic plates, which occurs at convergent boundaries. Oceanic crust tends to subduct under continental crust owing to its relative density. This largely basaltic oceanic crust contain a relatively high percentage of water, and once the plate subducts into the mantle, the water is driven off, lowering the melting temperature of the mantle rock and allowing for it to ment. Being less dense as magma, the ultramafic mantle melt can make its way upwards through the crust. As it does, the melts incorporates continental crust which is more felsic in composition. The melt that makes it all the way to the surface creates volcanoes, the portion that does not, creates plutons of granitic rock. There's a lot more to it, but I think the other two responses are a little off the mark. A simple diagram of the subduction process.

For instance, inflammation and exudation may occur in wounds that are large because the skin barrier is disrupted and therefore foreign bodies such as bacteria can easily gain entry. When this happens, neutrophils are transported to the injured site to destroy bacteria. Apart from neutrophils, macrophages, monocytes, and polymorphonuclear cells are also active in participating in the inflammatory response to an infection of the wound. These cells are called inflammatory cells. Thus, the exudate would contain dead and dying bacteria, inflammatory cells, and cell debris making the exudate viscous and opaque. This type of exudate is said to be purulent. Its color is characteristically yellowish, grayish or greenish in color. Severe infection of the wound would lead to releasing more exudate, which could mean prolonged wound healing.

This is not meant to be an extensive or all-inclusive course which details advanced wound therapies for the wound care specialist. Rather, it is to help the clinician/nurse (in any setting) to become more familiar with basic principles of good wound healing. This module also aims to provide a beginning guide to wound dressings, thereby answering the age-old question, “what should I put on the wound?” In addition, this module includes a basic overview of pain management for wounds - an under-addressed clinical problem.

Though not always the case, a large number of open wounds experience drainage, or as it’s called by physicians, exudate. Though this secretion of fluids is part of a normal wound healing process, it can also indicate the presence of harmful infections or any unhealthy inflammation. As such, it’s important to understand the various types of wound drainage to better grasp just what your average wound care regimen might entail. Here are the three most common types of wound exudate: Sanguineous drainage Composed primarily of blood, sanguineous drainage is generally bright in color and rather thick in its overall consistency, with some comparisons being made to syrup. This specific drainage is most common in deep partial-thickness and full-thickness wounds. During the inflammation stage of the healing cycle, a little bit of sanguineous drainage is normal as it indicates proper circulation. However, if you’re still experiencing drainage after a few hours, it can indicate trauma to the wound site. Serosanguineous drainage features added plasma, which makes the run-off appear pink in color. Serosanguineous exudate is usually indicative of damage to blood vessels and capillaries." }, { "docid": "D2158919#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/6985884/wound-healing-theroy-flash-cards/\nWound Healing-Theroy", "text": "\"79 terms byeazel Wound Healing-Theroy Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Go to: Abstract The vascular tumors of the retina and choroid comprise a diverse group of congenital and acquired lesions. The major vascular tumors of the retina include retinal capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma of the retina, retinal vasoproliferative tumor, and racemose hemangiomatosis of the retina or Wyburn–Mason syndrome. Choroidal vascular tumors include circumscribed choroidal hemangioma and diffuse choroidal hemangioma. While classified as benign, visual symptoms secondary to exudative retinal detachment and a variety of other mechanisms are common and are a major source of long-term visual disability. While many therapeutic modalities exist, treatment of symptomatic cases can be challenging. Of particular importance, many of the vascular tumors of the retina and choroid have significant associations with systemic disease. As ocular symptoms are often the most common presenting disease manifestation, the ophthalmologist plays an important role in accurate and early diagnosis. The ability to initiate prompt screening and treatment in appropriate cases is critical." }, { "docid": "D720374#0", "title": "http://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/fume.htm\nFUME", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » F » Fumbling ...

However the main risk amongst welders is for inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva, commonly known as 'arc eye' or 'flash'. Arc eye Arc eye is caused by UV radiation. This damages the outmost protective layer of cells in the cornea. Gradually the damaged cells die and fall off the cornea exposing highly sensitive nerves in the underlying cornea to the comparatively rough inner part of the eyelid. This causes intense pain, usually described as 'sand in the eye'. The pain becomes even more acute if the eye is then exposed to bright light.

This is true for prednisone, which increases the risk of a number of metabolic and medical issues in long-term users, with cataracts being one of the many complications that can arise from prednisone use over extended periods of time. What is a Cataract? A cataract is an ophthalmological (eye-related) condition that is marked by progressive visual impairment as a result of opacification or thickening of the lens of the eye. The lens acts like a camera lens that allows light waves to converge (or collect) at the retina to form a perfect image; however, in the case of any abnormality in the thickness or curvature of the lens, the image formed can be hazy and unclear. Data indicates that the prevalence of cataracts in elderly individuals between 65 and 75 years old is 31%. The rate increases significantly to over 53% in the elderly above 75 years old. It is important to keep in mind that cataract formation is different from general visual impairment or poor eyesight that is even more common and marked by blurring of vision, the appearance of colored haloes around light sources and the feeling of a film of dirt in front of the eyes. Visual impairment can occur through physiological aging, trauma to the eye, ophthalmological surgery and other such causes.

Karickhoff, MDJohn R. Karickhoff, MDVitreous opacities are almost universal, and most need no treatment. However, larger floaters, as well as those in the mid- or posterior vitreous, frequently cause difficulty in reading, driving, computer usage and concentration. Because laser treatment of floaters is almost unknown, these floater patients are told to “learn to live with it” and that vitrectomy is the only treatment. But vitrectomy is rarely recommended because of the high risk of cataract formation and a 1% to 3% risk of retinal detachment. The result is that symptomatic floater patients rarely receive treatment. Fortunately, vitrectomy is not the only treatment for floaters. The YAG laser offers a revolutionary, effective and safe way to treat such patients. I started using this treatment in 1990 and have now performed the operation on 750 eyes in patients with functional problems from floaters. Advantages YAG laser obliteration of vitreous floaters has these advantages: It is much safer and less expensive than vitrectomy;It has a Current Procedural Terminology code and is reimbursed by all insurance companies, including Medicare;It is equally appropriate for general ophthalmologists and retinal specialists;It removes the floater, not the vitreous;It is a 20-minute office procedure using topical anesthesia;There are no restrictions on activities, and patient has full recovery within 24 hours;It is effective in 92% of cases;It had zero significant complications in our Institutional Review Board/Food and Drug Administration supervised 200-patient study;The eye is not opened (no cataract formation, retinal detachments, infections or bleeding);It uses equipment to which ophthalmologists already have easy access.

Steinert, MD Figures and portions of the text were previously published in Steinert RF, Puliafito CA: The Nd: YAG laser in ophthalmology: principles and clinical applications of photodisruption, Philadelphia, 1985, WB Saunders. Introduction The neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd: YAG) laser is a solid-state laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm that can disrupt ocular tissues by achieving optical breakdown with a short, high-power pulse. Optical breakdown results in ionization, or plasma formation, in the ocular tissue. This plasma formation then causes acoustic and shock waves that disrupt tissue. The development of the Nd: YAG laser as an ophthalmic instrument and its application in discussion of the posterior capsule coincided with the conversion from intracapsular to extracapsular surgical techniques in cataract surgery. Before the introduction of the Nd: YAG laser, only surgical cutting or polishing of the posterior capsule could manage opacification of the posterior capsule following extracapsular cataract extraction. Nd: YAG laser posterior capsulotomy introduced a technique for closed-eye, effective, and relatively safe opening of the opacified posterior capsule, and laser capsulotomy rapidly became the standard of care. Capsular Opacification Postoperative opacification of initially clear posterior capsules occurs frequently in patients after extracapsular extraction of senile cataracts. Time to opacification is highly variable.

Download Fact Sheet There are different types of vitrectomies. Posterior Pars Plana Vitrectomy: The vitreous or vitreous humor is thought to serve as a framework or support for the layers of a newborn’s eye during development. In normal eyes, the vitreous is crystal clear throughout adulthood and fills the eye from the front or anterior (iris-lens) to the back or posterior (optic nerve). This area comprises two-thirds of the volume of the eye and is called vitreous cavity, which along with the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium, choroid, and sclera, make up the posterior segment. A vitrectomy performed for diseases of the posterior segment is called a posterior or pars plana vitrectomy. This kind of vitrectomy is performed by a retina specialist.

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped area that covers the front of the eye. Light passes through the cornea before reaching the retina in the back of the eye, and so it must remain clear so light can pass through. Corneal opacities can cause anything from minor irritation to vision problems and even blindness. In fact, corneal problems are the fourth leading cause of blindness (after glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration ). Injury, infection, and certain eye diseases can cause corneal opacities. Here is an overview of the symptoms, causes, and treatment of conditions that affect the cornea. Corneal Opacity Symptoms The cornea is formed by strong, tough tissue composed of five different layers, each with a specific function. The cornea protects the eye from dust, germs, UV rays, and other foreign substances.

The natural lens sits behind the colored part of the eye ( iris) in the area of the pupil, and cannot be directly seen with the naked eye unless it becomes extremely cloudy. The lens plays a crucial role in focusing unimpeded light on the retina at the back of the eye. The retina transforms light to a neurologic signal that the brain interprets as vision.

Mammal eyes, including those of dogs, have a clear lens which allows light through much like the lens of a camera. A cataract is any lack of clearness in the lens, more commonly called opacity. Because cataracts can block light from passing through the lens, they can have a substantial impact on a dog’s vision. The impact of a cataract is determined by its size and the degree to which it is opaque. Very small cataracts usually have no impact on a dog’s vision whatsoever, and will not necessarily grow until they become a problem. Although not necessarily the case, many cataracts will grow and become more opaque over time. Moderately sized cataracts often cause blurry vision. If a cataract is allowed to develop until it is very large and opaque, it can cause total blindness. Cataracts should not be confused with nuclear sclerosis, the natural hardening of the lens as dog ages, although many dogs do develop both conditions at the same time." }, { "docid": "D1885213#0", "title": "http://webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu/eyeforum/cases/43-Corneal-Stromal-Dystrophies.htm\nEpithelial-Stromal and Stromal Corneal Dystrophies:", "text": "\"Epithelial-Stromal and Stromal Corneal Dystrophies: A Clinicopathologic Review Emily S.

These deposits are not caused by inflammation, infection, or trauma, but by genetic mutations that lead to transcription of aberrant proteins resulting in the accumulation of insoluble material within the cornea. The disorders may or may not affect vision and may or may not be symmetrical (1).

Recent research published in the journal Ophthalmology used data from 1,000 pairs of twins and found that while genetic factors explained 35 percent of the variation in cataract progression over a 10-year period, environmental factors accounted for the rest (which means they're more influential than genetics). 3In particular, vitamin C was found to play a protective role, and if you value your vision this is one vitamin you'll want to consume regularly. Vitamin C Reduces Risk of Cataracts Researchers from King's College London in the U.

With the advent of the concept of g or general intelligence, many researchers have argued for no significant sex differences in g factor or general intelligence [1] [2] while others have argued for greater intelligence for males. [ 3] [4] The split view between these researchers depended on the methodology [1] and tests they used for their claims. [ 5] One study found some advantage for women in later life, [6] while another found that male advantages on some cognitive tests are minimized when controlling for socioeconomic factors. [ 7]Some studies have concluded that there is larger variability in male scores compared to female scores, which results in more males than females in the top and bottom of the IQ distribution.

By D. Lau In theory what is it? An X-year guide in how to run and operate a business. Most accredited universities and colleges seem to lump \"\"business administration\"\" as a big umbrella major with several concentrations ranging from finance to human resource to marketing to information systems. This has its advantages in that most if not all business students have to take a core that touches on all areas of business no matter what concentration they are in. However, it has an obvious drawback - uber broadness. It's literally like saying all engineers should have a major called \"\"Engineering\"\" instead of calling them electrical engineers, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, etc. Generally, \"\"business administration\"\" breaks down to these categories, and their \"\"usual\"\" general theories: Finance/Economics - how to maximize $$$, reduce losses, and manage money/capital Human Resource - managing people effectively, hiring the right kinds of people and firing the dolts Marketing - penetrate markets, sell useful/less stuff to just about anyone, guage market share with competitors Operations Management - optimize business functions and create efficient processes Information Systems - data is integral in business, I. S. people learn to manage, utilize, and integrate technology in its business Accounting - the IRS/SEC requires it Law (there are classes on business law, but usually not as a \"\"Business Law\"\" major) - litigation and ethics With this in mind, nearly all theory studied at a business school will most likely have an applied aspect. For 99% of business students, the theory somehow ends up to be a study of \"\"how to make money\"\" or \"\"how to maximize profit\"\" or \"\"how to fully penetrate markets\"\" - generally it's a bunch of \"\"how to\"\" guides.

A state-of-the-art complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturer is interested in the removal of particles with no or minimal substrate loss, while in mature manufacturing, the goal is to have ‘‘zero defects'’, i.e. less than one out of a million products that are allowed to fail. Due to this competitiveness, advances in fundamental research on particle removal are commercially implemented within a couple of years. Research is focused on mechanical and/or chemical enhancement of particle removal, but with minimal substrate etching. Addition of surfactants to cleaning solutions to aid particle removal might inhibit efficient particle removal if surface tension forces are required to lift the particle, or if particle diffusion away from the surface is a rate-limiting step. Prevention of particle deposition is not yet a major research topic. Particles in the wafer environment causing random yield loss are not part of current yield models.1.

These advances result in continuously increasing performance of home personal computers, higher density flash memory chips, faster wireless communication in combination with smaller antennas, and all kinds of combinations of the aforementioned components.

Geometric visualisation of the mode, median and mean of an arbitrary probability density function. [ 1]In probability theory, a probability density function ( PDF ), or density of a continuous random variable, is a function, whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the random variable would equal that sample. [ citation needed] In other words, while the absolute likelihood for a continuous random variable to take on any particular value is 0 (since there are an infinite set of possible values to begin with), the value of the PDF at two different samples can be used to infer, in any particular draw of the random variable, how much more likely it is that the random variable would equal one sample compared to the other sample. In a more precise sense, the PDF is used to specify the probability of the random variable falling within a particular range of values, as opposed to taking on any one value. This probability is given by the integral of this variable’s PDF over that range—that is, it is given by the area under the density function but above the horizontal axis and between the lowest and greatest values of the range. The probability density function is nonnegative everywhere, and its integral over the entire space is equal to one. The terms \"\" probability distribution function \"\" [2] and \"\" probability function \"\" [3] have also sometimes been used to denote the probability density function. However, this use is not standard among probabilists and statisticians. In other sources, \"\"probability distribution function\"\" may be used when the probability distribution is defined as a function over general sets of values, or it may refer to the cumulative distribution function, or it may be a probability mass function (PMF) rather than the density. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D2770998#0", "title": "http://www.purplemath.com/modules/mathtext.htm\nFormatting Math as Text: Common Algebraic Notation", "text": "\"Formatting Math as Text: Common Algebraic Notation Algebra Sets & Logic Other Not'n Notes on Posting Purplemath Math can look so pretty, all nicely formatted in the textbook.

For example, regarding b 0 as an empty product assigns it the value 1, even when b = 0. Alternatively, the combinatorial interpretation of b 0 is the number of empty tuples of elements from a set with b elements; there is exactly one empty tuple, even if b = 0.

Using a coding system of letters and numbers allows dentists to specify which teeth have decay or other problems. There are several systems used in dentistry to identify specific teeth. In one system, the tooth farthest back on the right side of your mouth in the upper jaw is considered number one. The next tooth is number two and so on until reaching the last upper tooth. Numbering continues with the rear-most tooth on the lower left side. When your dentist attaches a letter to a number, he or she is referring to the side or surface area of a tooth. \"\" M\"\" stands for mesial, which is a medical term for the front of a tooth. \"\" D\"\" stands for distal, or the rear side of a tooth.

The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic. Success or failure of implants depends on the health of the person receiving the treatment, drugs which affect the chances of osseointegration, and the health of the tissues in the mouth. The amount of stress that will be put on the implant and fixture during normal function is also evaluated. Planning the position and number of implants is key to the long-term health of the prosthetic since biomechanical forces created during chewing can be significant. The position of implants is determined by the position and angle of adjacent teeth, by lab simulations or by using computed tomography with CAD/CAM simulations and surgical guides called stents. The prerequisites for long-term success of osseointegrated dental implants are healthy bone and gingiva. Since both can atrophy after tooth extraction, pre-prosthetic procedures such as sinus lifts or gingival grafts are sometimes required to recreate ideal bone and gingiva." }, { "docid": "D1345459#0", "title": "http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/adhc/adhcfaq.htm\nHealth Department News", "text": "Search the Health Department How Do I?

This condition can resultfrom illness; a hot, dry climate; prolonged exposure to sun or high temperatures; not drinkingenough water; and overuse of diuretics or other medications that increase urination. Dehydrationcan upset the delicate fluid-salt balance needed to maintain healthy cells and tissues. Water accounts for about 60% of a man's body weight. It represents about 50% of a woman'sweight. Young and middle-aged adults who drink when they're thirsty do not generally have to do anything more to maintain their body's fluid balance. Children need more water because theyexpend more energy, but most children who drink when they are thirsty get as much water as their systems require.

Restoration of the underlying, natural tooth shade is possible by simply removing surface stains caused by extrinsic factors such as tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco. The buildup of calculus and tartar can also influence the staining of teeth. This restoration of the natural tooth shade is achieved by having the teeth cleaned by a dental professional (commonly termed \"\" scaling and polishing \"\"), or at home by various oral hygiene methods. Calculus and tartar are difficult to remove without a professional clean. To whiten the natural tooth shade, bleaching is suggested. It is a common procedure in cosmetic dentistry, and a number of different techniques are used by dental professionals. There is also a plethora of products marketed for home use to do this also. Techniques include bleaching strips, bleaching pens, bleaching gels and laser tooth whitening.

Amjad Ashraf ***, BDS, DHPM Gohar Zaman Babar****, BDS, DLT, FPFA S. M. Farooq*****, MSc ABSTRACT: This paper reviews the current standing and future prospects for Glass ionomer dental cement (GIC). These materials are of two chemical types; the older, self-hardening cements, which set by an acid-base neutralization reaction to give a relatively frail material; and the newer resin modified cements, which set partly by polymerisation and partly by neutralization. Compared with self-hardening cements, the latter material has improved aesthetics, improved resistance to moisture, and greater toughness. Both types of GIC release clinically significant amounts of fluoride and are used in a variety of applications. These materials have a promising future in restorative dentistry. CONCLUSION: GICs both conventional and command/light cure set, are important materials for modern clinical dentistry and will remain in dental clinics for the years to come.

A fairly significant case for any dentist, wouldn’t you say?

Though you could look up any dentist in your town and get the same results, you think you should give him a shot. What was his name, anyway? Does he do surgery you wonder?

Dehydration Definition Dehydration is the loss of water and salts essential for normal body function. Description Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid than it takes in. This condition can resultfrom illness; a hot, dry climate; prolonged exposure to sun or high temperatures; not drinkingenough water; and overuse of diuretics or other medications that increase urination. Dehydrationcan upset the delicate fluid-salt balance needed to maintain healthy cells and tissues. Water accounts for about 60% of a man's body weight. It represents about 50% of a woman'sweight. Young and middle-aged adults who drink when they're thirsty do not generally have to do anything more to maintain their body's fluid balance. Children need more water because theyexpend more energy, but most children who drink when they are thirsty get as much water as their systems require. Age and dehydration Adults over the age of 60 who drink only when they are thirsty probably get only about 90% of the fluid they need." }, { "docid": "D859954#0", "title": "http://www.theodora.com/anatomy/the_mouth.html\n2a.

Since root canals and bridges and other major services can be pricey, many of our clients want to know if Medicare covers any of the costs of routine dental care. Does Medicare Cover Dental? Original Medicare Part A and B does not cover routine dental visits and procedures such as filling, tooth extractions or dentures. Medicare can cover some expenses for dentistry-related hospitalizations. Most individuals on Medicare select a separate dental plan to address their regular dental needs. Does Medigap Cover Dental?

August 2013By: Erick Cutler To practice dentistry in the United States, a dentist needs a valid license. But does one need a dental license to own and operate a dental practice? In some places, the answer is a resounding “yes.” In others, it’s “no. ”At one time, most states prohibited corporations from owning dental or medical practices. This stemmed from the theory that only a person could be licensed to practice medicine or dentistry and, therefore, only a person with the proper license could own a medical or dental practice. This belief is known as the “corporate practice of medicine doctrine” or the “corporate practice of dentistry doctrine.” And as time changed, so did the belief in this doctrine.

F11 means that your main central control board (CCU) and the motor control board (MCU) are not communicating with one another properly. The motor control board is located under the tub mounted to the floor of the washer. The CCU is mounted under the top panel of the washer and is the part with about 100 wires going into it. You'll want to remove the top panel and the lower front panel to check the wire connections and make sure they are all secure. If everything looks good, then you just have to guess which control board you want to replace first, either the MCU or the CCU and the problem is that there is no way to test and determine which part is faulty so it's just a guessing game.

Most agitator top-loaders we tested 18 years ago used over 40 gallons of water to wash an average size load. Since then, federal standards have gotten increasingly tougher, requiring washers to use less water and energy. Today, any washers scoring excellent in water efficiency in our tests used about 13 gallons or less to do our 8-pound load. A very good score means the washers used 13.5 to 17.5 gallons.

The Trump administration announced Monday that it would impose hefty tariffs on the cheap, imported panels that have driven the rapid expansion of solar power in the United States, a move that industry groups warned would slow the spread of renewable energy and cost thousands of jobs. The tariffs come as President Trump has vowed to take a tough line against cheap foreign imports that he blames for undercutting American manufacturing industries. The administration also announced it would impose hefty tariffs on imported large residential washing machines. In both cases, inexpensive imports — mostly from China in the case of the solar panels — have undercut U. S. manufacturers, administration officials said. Imports from China have been a particular target of Trump's rhetoric. The tariffs are the most concrete step that he has taken to put those words into action. They mark the start of what many analysts expect will be a series of tougher actions on trade by Trump in the coming months, especially against China, with whom the U. S. has a huge trade deficit. The administration also has taken moves against imports of Chinese-made steel and aluminum and is considering sweeping sanctions against China for allegedly stealing U.

The item most of us suspect first is the heating element (see common Whirlpool elements below), but there are several other items on the dryer and one item that is not on the dryer that can produce the same symptom. You will save time, energy, and money if you will take a few moments to prove exactly which part is bad before purchasing a replacement part. The one item that is not on the dryer is a blown circuit breaker (located in your home’s main circuit breaker box). The dryer will turn if it is getting 110 volts, but it must be receiving 220 volts to heat. Many dryer circuits have two circuit breakers installed to power the dryer.

If you do not read Chapter 2 thoroughly before you read this chapter,you probably will not be able to properly diagnose your machine!!! ! In the early 80's, Whirlpool completely redesigned their standard washing machine model. The result is the \"\"Design 2000\"\" series, known in the parts houses as \"\"Whirlpool direct drive\"\" models. The most obvious feature of the design is that it does away with all drive belts. The motor is coupled directly to the transmission and pump. Other major changes include a new pedestal tub mounting system, a plastic tub with integral tub fittings, a liquid-ring basket balancing mechanism, and a mechanically direct-reversing transmission. Also, most of the component parts of the washer are held in place by spring clips or just a few screws, making them easy to replace.4-1 BASIC SYSTEM (Figure DD-1)This design uses a direct-reversing motor.

This appliance gets its heat from a heat pump. The moisture from the damp clothes condenses on the cold coil of the heat pump, and the condensed water is discharged into a drain pipe. Whirlpool announced it back in July; I was able to order it in October; and it wasn't delivered until January 21st — but I now own a real live, made for the U. S. market, heat-pump clothes dryer. It's officially the Whirlpool Hybrid Care Duet Dryer with Heat Pump Technology. Heat-pump clothes dryers have been available for many years in Europe, but this dryer and another recently announced model from LG are the first to hit the U. S. market. I chose the Whirlpool over the LG primarily because the LG, for some reason, still has a vent to the outdoors.

During a heart transplant, a mechanical pump circulates blood through the body while the surgeon removes the diseased heart and replaces it with a healthy heart from a recently deceased donor. The surgeon connects the donor heart to the major blood vessels and hooks the heart up to wires that temporarily control the heartbeat. The procedure takes several hours. To prevent the body from rejecting the donor heart, your surgeon will give you powerful drugs (immunosuppressants) immediately after surgery, and you must continue to take them. What To Expect After Surgery After a heart transplant, the recovery process is similar to the process after other heart surgeries. You will spend about 1 to 2 weeks in the hospital after surgery. You may have to stay longer depending on your health and if you have complications from surgery. While in the hospital, you will start a cardiac rehabilitation program.

Talk to your doctor about your health history and what makes the most sense for you.

A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that sends electrical signals to the heart to keep the heartbeat steady. Thin wires, called leads, carry the signals from the pacemaker to the heart. A pacemaker can prevent or reduce dizziness, fainting, and shortness of breath caused by a slow or unsteady heartbeat. Your chest may be sore where the doctor made the cut (incision) and put in the pacemaker. You also may have a bruise and mild swelling. These symptoms usually get better in 1 to 2 weeks.

During an angiogram, a thin tube called a catheter is placed into a femoral blood vessel in the groin (femoral vein) or just above the elbow (brachial vein). The catheter is guided to the area to be studied. Then an iodine dye ( contrast material) is injected into the vessel to make the area show clearly on the X-ray pictures. The angiogram pictures can be made into regular X-ray films or stored as digital pictures in a computer. A lung (pulmonary) angiogram is used to check the arteries that lead to the lungs (pulmonary arteries) and the blood vessels in the lungs. It can also find narrowing or a blockage in a blood vessel that slows or stops blood flow. See an angiogram image showing the blood flow of the lungs. Why It Is Done A lung angiogram may be done to measure the pressure in the blood vessels carrying blood to the lungs, to look for lung problems, or to find other causes of blockage or narrowing of the vessels.

These include the enzymes creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and creatine kinase (CK), and the proteins troponin I (Tn I) and troponin T (Tn T). Low levels of these enzymes and proteins are normally found in your blood, but if your heart muscle is injured, such as from a heart attack, the enzymes and proteins leak out of damaged heart muscle cells, and their levels in the bloodstream rise. Because some of these enzymes and proteins are also found in other body tissues, their levels in the blood may rise when those other tissues are damaged. Cardiac enzyme studies must always be compared with your symptoms, your physical examination findings, and electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) results. Why It Is Done Cardiac enzyme studies are done to: Determine whether you are having a heart attack or a threatened heart attack ( unstable angina) if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, and abnormal electrocardiography results.

Sudden cardiac death is when the heart unexpectedly stops functioning completely and the person dies. It is the main cause of natural death in the USA, causing approximately 325,000 adult deaths in the country every year. Half of all heart deaths are caused by sudden cardiac death. When a person's heart suddenly stops beating (sudden cardiac arrest), they must be treated immediately with CPR or an automated external defibrillator. A person has sleep apnea when they stop breathing for at least ten seconds during their sleep five or more times each hour. The patient typically snores, chokes or gasps during sleep, and wakes up drowsy. In the USA, over 12 million people live with obstructive sleep apnea, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Many sufferers are undiagnosed.

Hopefully you can bear with me for a minute while we talk about that, and then I can better answer your important questions. It sounds like what you asking about in your question has to do with people who are transgender, or, more specifically, transgender women (people who were assigned male at birth, and now identify as female). When I talk about transgender, or “trans”, I define that as someone who was assigned one sex or gender at birth, but identifies in some other way now. That could mean that you were born female and now you identify as male (some people would use the term FTM, or female-to-male, to describe that) or that you were assigned male at birth and now identify as female (also sometimes noted as MTF, or male-to-female). But being FTM or MTF are not the only categories of transgender. I believe that there are an infinite number of possible gender identities out there in the world, and not everyone will come to either identify as male or female. The idea that there are two and only two genders—male and female—and that everyone fits neatly into one of those categories is called the idea of a “gender binary”. At least in our culture, the gender binary is a pretty commonly accepted truth. If you think about it, that’s one of the first questions that people want to know if someone is pregnant: is it a boy or a girl?" }, { "docid": "D1444888#0", "title": "https://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=166857/Skin-Therapy-Oil---Face/Palmer-s/Treatments-(Face)\nPalmer's Skin Therapy Oil - Face", "text": "Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil - Face4.064 reviews75% would repurchase WRITE A REVIEWINGREDIENTSFilter by skin/hair/eye All Filter by age All Sort By Date Start your review54321emilydunham1991on 2/15/2018 7:10:00 PMMore reviews by emilydunham1991Age: 25-29Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure Hair: Brunette, Other, Other Eyes: Brown Palmers is really impressing me!

At that point, it means that pores are deeply congested, so you have to get a facial. Most people don't know how to do extractions correctly at home and end up pushing the clog further down into the pore or causing broken capillaries. My customized facial always includes extractions as well as a chemical peel, microdermabrasion, and/or LED light therapy [$300]. The good news is that you can avoid getting congested pores in the first place by using products that contain glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or retinol, which increase cell turnover and help unclog, therefore making pores appear smaller. My favorites are Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel [$88] and my Resurface Retinol Reform [$95], which contains 5 percent retinol and lactic acid, plus niacinamide and aloe vera, both known for their anti-inflammatory properties. \"\" THE DERMATOLOGISTNeal Schultz, New York: \"\"When a clog forms, that's when pores become distended. If they remain clogged, the surrounding collagen and elastin fibers can overstretch permanently. If the clog is removed quickly, pores can 'shrink' back to their original size. Most cleansers, scrubs, and even microdermabrasion can't get deep into pores. It requires synergy between multiple chemical exfoliators that dissolve both solids (dead skin cells) and liquids (oil), like my glycolic acid, tea tree oil, and pumpkin-seed-extract-based Beauty Rx Dermstick for Pores [$29], which clears up pores overnight." }, { "docid": "D879193#0", "title": "http://www.coolinfo4all.com/how-to-get-rid-of-large-pores/\nHow to Get Rid Of Large Pores", "text": "How to Get Rid Of Large Pores Share Tweet How to Get Rid Of Large Pores Pores are the small dots that you could see on the skin, and these are important to your skin’s health and wellness by supplying oil to keep skin moisturized and soft.

To prepare for repainting:wash the wall to remove any grease.fill any holes and cracks with suitable filler, possibly using flexible filler for cracks.sand and prime the filled areas - priming will seal the filler and keep it in place. You might want to sand and reprime the whole wall to avoid a patchy look.repaint the wall with at least two coats of your new colour. If the cracks are large you might want to check there's no current problem. New houses will settle quite a bit when first built and there'll even be some movement in older homes. If you are painting over a dark colour with a light colour you might need more than 2 coats to stop the previous colour showing through. If that's the case then using a primer or basic white matt emulsion for the first coat (or two if it's really dark) is a more cost effective option than using the more expensive coloured paint for all the coats. Unfortunately you don't always find that out in time." }, { "docid": "D524316#0", "title": "http://skintelligencenter.vmvhypoallergenics.com/c39-skin-health/pregnancy-and-breastfeeding-what-products-can-i-use-while-pregnant-or-nursing/\nQ: Iâm pregnant⦠or have given birth and am now breastfeeding.

A metal roof is lightweight, durable, fire-resistant and does not rot. It's also considered relatively environmentally-friendly because it can be recycled. While metal roofs are pricey, they can last anywhere from 50-75 years or more with little maintenance. Typical costs: Installing interlocking steel shingles starts around $3-$7.50 a square foot (for labor and materials), or about $5,100-$16,500 for professional installation on a one-story ranch-style house with a gently sloping roof of 1,700-2,100 square feet. Installing more corrosion-resistant coated-steel sheets (called standing seam roofing) starts around $7-$10 a square foot, or $11,900-$22,000 for an average ranch-style home. A more complicated installation project -- a roof with an extremely steep slope, lots of skylights or other architectural features, and/or many different levels and angles -- could be $12-$15 a square foot or more. Interlocking aluminum shingles start around $7-$9 a square foot for labor and materials, or $11,900-$19,800 for a typical ranch-style home. Aluminum standing seam roofing (panels) start around $9-$11 a square foot, or $15,300-$24,200 for a basic ranch-style home; costs can go up to $12-$15 a square foot or more for complicated installation projects. Copper is the most expensive metal at $11-$12 a square foot just for the roofing material; with installation it can run $15-$18 and up per square foot, or $25,500-$39,600 for a basic single-story ranch-style house, with the price going up for complex installation work." }, { "docid": "D1686312#0", "title": "http://www.doctorqa.com/qa/compression-stockings\nWhat do compression stocking measurements mean?", "text": "What do compression stocking measurements mean?

This damage can lead to reduced plant reliability, unscheduled outages, loss of production, increased operating costs, and premature catastrophic failure of capital equipment. Since there are often no warnings to signal that a failure is imminent, FAC can pose a serious safety threat to plant operating personnel. Over the past 40 years or so, the FAC mechanism has been studied and reviewed extensively in the literature. The primary variables that influence FAC corrosion are: Fluid velocityp HMetallurgy Geometry Temperature Steam quality Oxygen concentration While many of these variables are established by plant design and operating practices, FAC can be minimized by elevating p H into an acceptable range. In some plants, ammonia is used for this purpose. Ammonia has the benefit of being a low-cost neutralizing agent that does not elevate steam or condensate cation conductivity. However, neutralizing amines are also employed for p H control in power plant feedwater and steam/condensate systems. Recent work has shown that neutralizing amines, if selected and applied properly, can provide certain advantages and treatment benefits over ammonia. Flow-accelerated corrosion can occur in combined-cycle heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) applications, as well as in nuclear steam generation systems, paper mill recovery boiler systems and in fossil-fired utility systems." }, { "docid": "D3536707#0", "title": "http://www.ekmaninternational.com/paul-ekman-international-plc-home/faqs.aspx\nPaul Ekman International Plc.", "text": "\"FAQs How true/real is the science in \"\"Lie to Me\"\"?

Microsoft MS Campus agreement (NERCOMP) definition: Fac/Staff FTE = full-time staff + full-time faculty + (part-time faculty/3) + (part-time staff/2)Student FTE = full-time students + (part-time students/3)Source for FTE Staff/Faculty: IPEDS HRAdmin, not paid hourly Primary Function <> \"\"Foreign\"\" (don't include Luxembourg)Job Class = \"\"ADM\"\"Hourly Staff Flag = 0Staff, not paid Primary Function <> \"\"Foreign\"\" (don't include Luxembourg)Job Class = \"\"ADM, HRL\"\"Hourly Staff Flag = 0Paid Hourly Primary Function <> \"\"Foreign\"\" (don't include Luxembourg)Job Class = \"\"ADM, HRL, STF\"\"Hourly Staff Flag = 1Faculty Primary Function <> \"\"Foreign\"\" (don't include Luxembourg)Job Class = \"\"FAC\"\"Note: Hourly employees can be excluded as they do not use institutional devices Student FTE calculated based on enrolled credit hours: A. For a semester FTE: Undergraduate FTE = total undergraduate credit hours/15 (prior to 8/31/15, 12 credits were used to calculate UG FTE. Note that prior to 8/31/15, the NEASC annual report used 12 credits in this calculation)Graduate FTE = total graduate credit hours/12 (prior to 8/31/15, 9 credits were used to calculate GR FTE. Note that prior to 8/31/15, the NEASC annual report used 9 credits in this calculation)B. For a 12-month FTE: Undergraduate FTE = total undergraduate credit hours/30Graduate FTE = total graduate credit hours/24Sources for undergraduate and graduate credits: Fact Book When credit hours are not available, we may calculate student FTE using student headcounts: FTE = (full-time headcount) + (part-time headcount)/3This assumes that average full-time student is 1.00 FTE and the average part-time student is .33 FTESources for full-time and part-time headcounts: IPEDS Fall Enrollment Enrollment Statistics Moody's FTE calculation UG FTE = FT UG headcount + PT UG credits/12GR FTE = FT UG headcount + PT GR credits/9Student-to-Faculty Ratio Student to Faculty Ratio is a ratio of FTE students to FTE instructional staff computed annually for the Fall term. It is defined in a logically consistent way by IPEDS and the Common Data Set. Here is the definition in the Common Data Set for Fall 2011: Report the Fall 2011 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time plus 1/3 part time)." }, { "docid": "D930330#0", "title": "http://www.surgery.org/consumers/ask-a-surgeon/long-recover-tummy-tuck-liposuction\nTummy Tuck", "text": "\"How long does it take to recover from a Tummy Tuck or Liposuction? Q: Usually how long does it take to recover from a Tummy Tuck or Liposuction? A: Recovery from Tummy Tuck or Liposuction This requires two different answers, as the two procedures are quite different. Abdominoplasty takes the longest. Most people remain stooped over for most of a week and do not return to normal activities for 1-2 weeks. It usually takes 1-2 months, however, until you can do everything you did preoperatively without feeling tired, as your body is using significant energy to heal you during this time. Even if you could return to activities faster, you should not in order to reduce problems. With Liposuction of only one or two areas (such as the abdomen and flanks), recovery is usually quite rapid, within several days. More extensive liposuction extends recovery. Robert T. Buchanan, M.

Inamori Foundation, via Associated Press Leonard Herzenberg was in his lab at Stanford University one day in the early 1960s, laboriously counting cells under a microscope. His eyes hurt. “ There’s got to be some kind of machine that can do this,” he remembered muttering. He went on to develop precisely that — and in doing so helped revolutionize immunology, facilitate stem cell research and advance the treatment of cancer, H. I. V. infection and other illnesses. Dr. Herzenberg, who died on Oct. 27 at 81 in Stanford, Calif., created a device that can pick out individual cells from a mass of trillions of them and then capture, sort and count them so they can be analyzed and used to fight disease. Some likened his achievement to watching a parade of 10,000 men in drab suits, spotting the two wearing yellow ties and the three wearing pink ones, and then pulling the five out of line without anyone losing a step. Today, more than 40,000 such devices are in operation around the world; virtually no significant medical lab is without one. In 2006, the Inamori Foundation presented Dr. Herzenberg with the Kyoto Prize, the Japanese equivalent of the Nobel Prize, in the category of advanced technology, calling his achievement “monumental." } ]

[ 8] Its immediate origin is unclear, but it is based on the word for \"\"bundle of sticks\"\", ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis. [ 8] [9]The word faggot has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women, [9] and reference to homosexuality may derive from this, [8] [10] as female terms are often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen ). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term \"\"faggot-gatherer\"\", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meager living by gathering and selling firewood.

Photograph: Stefano Bianchetti/Stefano Bianchetti/CORBISDespite the fact that Ezra Pound wrote him off for his \"\"asinine bigotry\"\" and \"\"the coarseness of his mentality\"\", John Milton is usually celebrated as the politically radical, high-minded author of that great English epic Paradise Lost. So Dr Jennifer Batt, an English lecturer at the University of Oxford, was somewhat surprised when she came across a filthy, innuendo-laden rhyme \"\"by Milton\"\" while reading a forgotten, early 18th-century poetic anthology. Introduced in the volume as An Extempore Upon a Faggot, by Milton, the rather smutty ditty reads: \"\"Have you not in a Chimney seen / A Faggot which is moist and green / How coyly it receives the Heat / And at both ends do's weep and sweat? / So fares it with a tender Maid / When first upon her Back she's laid / But like dry Wood th' experienced Dame / Cracks and rejoices in the Flame. \"\" According to Batt, \"\"if the attribution were correct, it would prompt a major revision of our ideas about Milton\"\". The coarse, and frankly misogynistic verse likens a young woman to a faggot, a bunch of damp sticks, which, when cast upon the fire, produces moisture \"\"at both ends\"\", like (according to the poem) a weeping virgin when sexually aroused. By contrast, the more sexually experienced woman is more like dry wood, which becomes joyfully enflamed when put on the fire.

One could also apply it, and sometimes does apply it, to a conservative with no enemies to the left and no friends to the right, who thus conspires to the eradication of conservatism and its ever leftwards movement, which strictly speaking is inconsistent with the first definition. One implies physical and biological elimination, one implies mere memetic elimination. However, the one is in practice pretty much equivalent to the other since leftist memes are in practice race replacement memes, as exemplified in Baltimore. Maybe in future there will be conflict between these two definitions. The broader definition of cuckservative, however, communicates the neoreactionary concept of innerparty/outerparty, shows how the republican party does the left’s work for it." }, { "docid": "D3200867#0", "title": "http://anvilfire.com/iForge/tutor.php?lesson=jd_weld1/demo\n.", "text": "\"Forge Welding IDemonstration by Jock Dempsey May 9, 2001- GURU Tonights demo, is about forge welding.

By Sherry Wolf Issue #63: Features Share THE SIXTIES is often perceived as an era of social upheaval and orgiastic revelry. But for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) folks in America, the efflorescence of sexual expression did not begin until the waning months of that decade in the heart of the nation’s then-largest bohemian enclave and gay ghetto, New York’s Greenwich Village. The Stonewall Riots that began in the wee hours of June 28, 1969, 1 lasted six nights and catapulted the issue of sexual liberation out of the Dark Ages and into a new era. The relative freedoms and social acceptance that millions of particularly urban American LGBT people experience today would have seemed as surreal to that earlier generation as the prospect of electing an African-American president. On the heels of the U. S. military’s postwar purge of gays, President Eisenhower signed a 1953 executive order that established “sexual perversion” as grounds for being fired from government jobs. And since employment records were shared with private industry, exposure or suspicion of homosexuality could render a person unemployable and destitute. “ Loitering in a public toilet” was an offense that could blacklist a man from work and social networks, as lists of arrestees were often printed in newspapers and other public records. Most states had laws barring homosexuals from receiving professional licenses, which could also be revoked upon discovery. Sex between consenting adults of the same sex, even in a private home, could be punishable for up to life in prison, confinement in a mental institution, or even castration." }, { "docid": "D802270#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vete_a_la_verga\nSpanish profanity", "text": "\"Spanish profanity From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Vete a la verga)navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification.

A STAFF REPORT FROM THE STRAIGHT DOPE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARDJuly 29, 2003Dear Straight Dope: I recently reread the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I've always been curious about Tolkien's casual use of the term faggot. I guess that in Britain the term does not carry a negative connotation and is used as slang for cigarettes and whatnot, but it still gets me thinking. How can a word go from meaning \"\"a bundle of sticks\"\" to \"\"homosexual male\"\"? I've looked elsewhere on the Internet, but I haven't been able to find any unbiased resources or even biased ones that state their sources. They all say that it goes back to heretics being forced to carry the faggots for their own execution at the stake. Forgive me for being skeptical, but this sounds a heckuva lot like the story about the origin of the term \"\"rule of thumb,\"\" albeit backward. Josh G.samclem replies: Well, Josh, you’re right to think that the British historically haven’t found \"\"faggot\"\" offensive–with the exception of a vile-tasting meatball currently marketed in the UK as Mr. Brain’s Faggots. One of the advertising lines says, “It’s no wonder 100 million faggots are eaten in the UK every year!” As Dave Barry says, “I’m NOT making this up. \"\"" }, { "docid": "D3393397#0", "title": "https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=citadel\n.", "text": "\"Top definitioncitadel Citadel means a fortress built to protect the people from possible threat of attack by outsiders or the opponents.

There are several different ways in which these words can be interpreted. The first time we hear the statement is in the opening scene when the witches say the exact line \"\"Fair is foul, and foul is fair\"\" and Macbeth himself repeats it later almost precisely in Act 1 Scene 3: \"\"So fair and foul a day I have not seen\"\" Which suggests a link between Macbeth and the sisters, though the interesting thing is that he hasn't even met them yet, although they have already conspired to meet with him. They lure him with fair means, by telling him a small truth, to a foul end. Banquo suspects this, but Macbeth ignores his warnings. The witches themselves seem to be the embodiment of the foul part of the phrase. At the time, people were very superstitious about witches, believing they were evil and should be burned. They would obviously assume the witches to be evil and untrustworthy. During this time, Guy Fawkes had tried to overthrow the English king, but had failed." } ]

[ { "docid": "D1513703#0", "title": "http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/guides/zpdq2hv/revision/2\nUse of structure in Macbeth", "text": "\"Use of structure in Macbeth The structure of a text refers to the way in which events are organised inside the play as a whole. In the case of Macbeth, the structure is strictly chronological. This is where events are revealed to the audience/reader in the order in which they have happened. Sometimes events are described rather than shown (eg Macbeth becoming king). Others happen offstage (out of sight of the audience) for example, Duncan's murder. The events of this play are organised into five acts, each containing a number of scenes. However, it is important to note that Shakespeare himself almost certainly did not organise the play in this way and that this structure would have been added later during the editing process when the plays were turned into published text after being performed that way. The idea of the five-act structure is a useful one, though, as it follows the model designed by Gustav Freytag, a German author from the 19th-century. Having carefully studied classical drama, he suggested there were five stages in a tragic dramatic structure. He named these stages: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and catastrophe." }, { "docid": "D404129#0", "title": "http://baseball.epicsports.com/baseball-glossary.html\nBaseball Glossary", "text": "\"Baseball Glossary Ace: A team's best pitcher, usually the first pitcher in starting rotation.

The problem lie in the confused answer, which I found at a side in my computer, namely: \"\"TRUE\"\" and an enigma If you have ever had someone do something to you that was rotten, but they were perfectly within their rights to do so you would know. Just because something is morally wrong does not make it legally so. So the dirty deed, although morally wrong, was fair (as in retribution), and even through the dirty deed was fair it was also wrong or undeserved.

The first scene of the first act ends with these words of the witches, which Macbeth echoes in his first line: “So foul and fair a day I have not seen” (I iii 36). In a similar fashion, many scenes conclude with lines of dichotomy or equivocation: “Hear it not, Duncan; for it is a knell / That summons thee to heaven or hell” (II i64); Such lines evoke an air of deep uncertainty. To put it simply, Shakespeare alludes to the discrepancy between appearance and reality. One of the larger motifs in Macbeth has to do with what is and what seems to be. This equivocation works as constant juxtapositions which challenge the characters and audience to find the truth somewhere in the uncertainty which makes up reality.

In exchange for complete anonymity, coaches give unfiltered honesty about a number of topics in the sport. This is week No. 2 of our results to questions posed to more than 100 coaches. One of the interesting dynamics in sports is how coaches deal with game officials. Styles vary, from the combative to the cynical, from butt-kissing to aggressive.

The home team always bats second (the \"\"bottom\"\" of the inning) and the visiting team always bats in the \"\"top\"\" of the inning. In each inning the batting team sends one player, known as the hitter or batter, in turn, to bat (known as an \"\"at bat\"\"), until three hitters are \"\"out\"\", whilst the pitching team have nine players on the field trying to prevent them scoring. If the scores are tied at the end of nine innings, a tenth is played, and if necessary an eleventh, and a twelfth, and so on (both halves of the extra inning have to be completed before the game is resolved, if both teams score a run in the tenth, then an eleventh is played, etc). There are no ties in Baseball. A run is scored by a runner reaching home base, having first touched first, second and third base. Only one runner is allowed on any one base at any one time. Each team only has nine players \"\"on the field\"\" at any one time, but are normally made up of twenty five players (the rest are substitutes). A substitute may be brought into the game at any time (whether because of injury, fatigue, or tactical reasons), but once a player is replaced by a substitute then he is not allowed to return to the game.

Ask players who have taken a charge or been on the receiving end of an elbow to the face and they will tell you, contact is simply part of the game. In fact, basketball rules allow for a reasonable amount of physical interaction between opponents. This contact becomes illegal, however, when a player gains an advantage over his opponent. This rule violation is called a personal foul Generally, racking up personal fouls in basketball isn’t a strategically sound practice. In fact, if you get whistled for contact one too many times you will promptly find yourself enjoying the game from the bench. However, there are a few instances when it would be advantageous to foul the opponent. This guide examines the personal foul from a strategic perspective. Playing From Behind Unless the goal is to make your coach’s blood boil, committing a ticky-tack foul ninety feet from the opponent’s basket is not a good habit to get into. But in time-sensitive situations (i.e. your team is attempting to rally and take the lead during the final minutes of regulation), intentionally getting whistled for a foul could be the smartest play." }, { "docid": "D2709374#0", "title": "http://dckickball.org/rules/\nRules", "text": "Rules GOLDEN RULEFirst and foremost all DC Fray leagues are 50% Social and 50% Sport.

Explain what it means, providing examples from the play to support your answer: One of the most important themes in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare comes from one of the last lines in Act 1, Scene 1 of the play. The three witches speak this simple line ‘Fair is foul, and foul is fair,’ shortly before they disperse and it becomes a prophecy and an underlying warning for the rest of the play. The connotations of this one line becomes significant as the play unfolds beginning even with Macbeth’s opinions at the beginning of the story and lasting throughout the play with the constant recurring themes of deception, doing evil in the name of good, …show more content…But that these are only half truths and even when the witches reveal to Macbeth the apparitions and prophesies; ‘Beware Macduff;’ that ‘none of woman born shall harm Macbeth;’ and that ‘Macbeth shall never vanquish’d be until great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill shall come against him;’ they speak in a way that causes Macbeth to believe he is invincible. This is highlighted in the quote where Banquo remarks: ‘Oftentimes, to win us our harm, the instruments of darkness tell us truths, win us with honest trifles, to betray’s in deepest consequence.’ Another way that the theme of ‘Fair is foul and foul is fair’ proffers itself is through the deception of King Duncan by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. This deception is even worse because of Duncan’s trust in Macbeth, so as Lady Macbeth quotes; ‘Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t.’ Duncan is not suspicious because as Macbeth quotes in his soliloquy; ‘He’s here in double trust: First, as I am his kinsman and his subject, strong both against the deed; then as his host, who should against his murderer shut the door, not bear the knife myself.’ It is doubly ironic that Duncan should trust and praise Macbeth so highly when he says to Lady Macbeth; ‘See, see, our honor’d hostess!

Report abuse Transcript of The Major Themes and Motifs of 'Macbeth'The Major Themes and Motifs of 'Macbeth'Themes Ambition ‘Macbeth’ examines the devastation that can occur when ambition oversteps its moral boundaries. The temptation that ambition causes plays a key factor in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s decision to kill Duncan, and begin much of the action of the play. Ambition could be considered to be the driving force of the play. It is sparked by the prophesy, and in turn, Lady Macbeth’s ambitions for her husband inspire ambition within him. It is the corrupting influence of “vaulting ambition” that transforms Macbeth from a good and great man into a tyrannical murderer.

Some of these conditions include GERD, ulcers, and pathological hypersecretory conditions. The medicine blocks the action of specific histamine receptors in the stomach. This causes the stomach to produce less acid and can also heal damage done to the esophagus over time. In addition, famotidine can be used off-label to prevent acid-related pneumonia during surgeries and treat H. pylori infections. What Happens When You Have GERD?

D. A. M. Medications The following drugs are sometimes used to treat peptic ulcers caused by either NSAIDs or H. pylori. Antacids Many antacids are available without a prescription, and they are the first drugs recommended to relieve heartburn and mild dyspepsia. Antacids are not effective for preventing or healing ulcers, but they can help in the following ways: They neutralize stomach acid with various combinations of three basic compounds -- magnesium, calcium, or aluminum. They may protect the stomach by increasing bicarbonate and mucus secretion. ( Bicarbonate is an acid-buffering substance. ) It is generally believed that liquid antacids work faster and are more potent than tablets, although some evidence suggests that both forms work equally well. Basic Salts Used in Antacids. There are three basic salts used in antacids: Magnesium. Magnesium compounds are available in the form of magnesium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, and, most commonly, magnesium hydroxide (Milk of Magnesia).

(C)Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0002-9343 (87)90806-0 Get rights and content Abstract Parenteral histamine (H 2 )-receptor antagonists are frequently used to prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by stress-induced gastric mucosal damage in critically ill patients. It is generally agreed that the goal of therapy in this syndrome is the consistent elevation of gastric p H levels above a certain value, often set at 4, in order to prevent the underlying mucosal damage from progressing to bleeding. The three H 2 -receptor antagonists currently available in a parenteral form and suitable for this mode of prophylaxis are cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine. The pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of these agents, as they relate to their use in prevention of stress ulceration bleeding, are discussed here. These agents are more noted for their pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic similarities in acid suppression, elimination, and metabolism than for their differences. Ranitidine and famotidine are more potent than cimetidine, and famotidine has a slightly longer half-life than do cimetidine and ranitidine, but current dosing recommendations take these differences into account so that the agents have equivalent efficacy. Cimetidine and ranitidine have been widely used in this application. Less experience has been obtained, to date, with famotidine. Recent studies with primed, continuous infusions of cimetidine indicate that dosing schedule may be the key to obtaining better efficacy in prophylaxis of stress-related mucosal damage. Similar studies with ranitidine have not yielded results as promising as those with cimetidine, however, and few data are available on famotidine." }, { "docid": "D3377045#0", "title": "http://gerd.emedtv.com/famotidine/precautions-and-warnings-with-famotidine.html\nPrecautions and Warnings With Famotidine", "text": "GERD Channel Topics & Medications GERDInfant GERDAciphex Aciphex Sprinkle Antacids Artichoke Leaf Extract Axid Calcium Carbonate Cimetidine Curcumin Cytotec Dexilant Famotidine H2 Blockers Kapidex Licorice Metozolv ODTNeem Nexium Nizatidine Pepcid Pepcid ACPepcid Complete Prevacid Prevacid 24HRPrilosec Prilosec OTCProtonix Reglan Sucralfate Tagamet Turmeric Zantac Zegerid Advertisement Quicklinks GERDNexium Prilosec Protonix Prevacid Aciphex Zantac Famotidine Cimetidine Pepcid Licorice Turmeric Curcumin Reglan Neem Related Channels Digestive System Weight Loss Anxiety Cancer Advertisement Tweet GERD Home > Precautions and Warnings With Famotidine Precautions and Warnings With Famotidine Some precautions and warnings with famotidine to be aware of include potential drug interactions, the safety of taking famotidine if you have poor kidney function, and people who should not take this medicine at all (such as those who are allergic to famotidine or its inactive components).

This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ]. DUEXIS is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery [see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ]. Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Ulceration, and Perforation NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients and patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding are at greater risk for serious GI events [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS ]. DESCRIPTIONDUEXIS (ibuprofen and famotidine) is supplied as a tablet for oral administration which combines the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen, and the histamine H2-receptor antagonist, famotidine. Ibuprofen is (±)-2- (p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid. Its chemical formula is C 13 H 18 O 2 and molecular weight is 206.28.

As the medication works to block the production of stomach acid, many famotidine side effects are gastrointestinal. These can include abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea or constipation. Many famotidine side effects that develop when first taking the medication are mild and disappear as the body adjusts to the medication. These include the gastrointestinal distress, headaches, joint pain, a dizzy feeling, and a sense of nausea. The medication has been approved for use in infants and small children, and may result in irritability. An individual can suffer an allergic reaction as one of the famotidine side effects, especially if he or she is allergic to other medications that might be used to treat the same condition. This allergic reaction usually manifests with symptoms such as difficulty breathing that may be made worse by facial swelling or the appearance of hives or a rash. If this occurs, the medication should not be taken again, and a medical professional should be made aware of the situation. Some individuals have developed severe famotidine side effects soon after starting the medication." } ]

Many farts are loaded with methane and as is apparent from many terrible you Tube videos, they are flammable! There must be some calories contained in that methane. One study found an average person to fart about 14 times a day releasing about 1/2 liter total. I also estimate that some farts may contain up to %80 methane (however the average is probably far less than this). I therefore approximate that the average fart likely contains some where around 100 Thermal Calories, which is only .1Kcal, which is food energy is measured by... But I suppose that could approach .5Kcal for some more potent toots... Plus of course the energy it takes to push one out, or more often, to hold it in until such time that it is safe to release...

Fascism can be defined as a political attitude and mass movement that arose during time between the first and second World War. Fascism is the attitude of giving full interest in economic, social, and military power to a dominant race or state lead by a single dominant leader. Fascism basically rejected the idea of Socialism, Capitalism, and Democracy. Fascism’s are single-party dictatorships characterized by terrorism and police surveillance. It focuses on ethnicity and “our” race being better than “your” race. Fascism isn’t limited to one culture alone.

The word fascism stems from the Italian word fascio (plural: fasci ), which may mean bundle, as in a political or militant group, or a nation. The term also comes from the fasces (rods bundled around an axe), which was an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of magistrates. The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity; a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is very difficult to break.

Technically, the word NAZI was the acronym for the National Socialist German Worker’s Party. It was a fascist movement that had its roots in the European nationalist and socialist movements, and that developed a grotesque biologically-determinant view of so-called “Aryan” supremacy. ( Here we use “national socialism” to refer to the early Nazi movement before Hitler came to power, sometimes termed the “Brownshirt” phase, and the term “Nazi” to refer to the movement after it had consolidated around ideological fascism. ) The seeds of fascism, however, were planted in Italy. “" }, { "docid": "D2894550#0", "title": "http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/stress\nstressnoun", "text": "\"Definition of “stress” - English Dictionary English English American American Business Business“stress” in American English See all translationsstressnounus / stres /stress noun ( WORRY ) [ C/U] worry caused by a difficult situation, or something that causes this condition: [ U] Luis is under a lot of stress right now.

The term fascist in the anglo-saxon culture is wrongly (like the rest of history) interpreted and taught. Fascism was the political ideal of Italy's Mussolini in Italy during the period from 1922 to 1945 and still followed nowaday by young and old. Fascism stands for an ideal of life and country against capitalism and communism. Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Fascism is much more than that however, but understanding fascism is in fact one of the most important elements in understanding the 20 th century and our modern world.

This system also stresses the importance of a \"\"classless\"\" society, where there are no differences between the wealthy and the working classes, between men and women, or between races. While Marxist communism is the most common form of communism, there is also non-Marxist communism . As is evident by multiple definitions of fascism, there is considerable variations in what social scientists call fascism. Nevertheless we will attempt to describe what it generally means. Fascism is also a political and economic system, but its focus is on the nation state, as ruled by a dictator, and on rigid social structure. Under fascism, hyper-masculinity, youth, and even violence and militarism are held in high regard. Any \"\"outside\"\" idea that conflicts with the nation state is undesirable; as such, fascism often shuns conservatism, liberalism, democracy, and communism, alike, and is also generally hostile toward equality for women and different races and people.

At the end stages of their paths of ascent, you could indeed call fascism and communism ‘systems’ and justifiably conclude that the differences between the two seem rather superficial. George Orwell’s 1984 describes the end stage of a totaliarian regime. Although 1984 is an obvious work of fiction, I believe his mixing up of fascist and communist elements of ideology and methodology is quite forgivable, since the paths of ascent of communism and fascism ultimately lead to the same end result. Fascism and communism however start from completely different points of departure. Yet, as they get under way the last thing their followers imagine their movement to end up as is exactly what they always ultimately end up as: crystallised societies devoid of all meaningful interpersonal interaction. That is because they are both idealist movements. They have designed themselves a just society, which they seek to copy straight onto reality, like an overambitious sculptor working from a sketch on paper, hacking away at a tough piece of granite with great force.

It is popular in its native Scotland where it is arguably more popular than Coca-Cola. As well as Scotland the drink can be found in the wider UK, Ireland, and Russia (where is is also produced under licence). It can also be found by a small number of distributors in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

Share Scots actor Sam Heughan helps Outlander fans learn Gaelic GAELIC expert Àdhamh Ó Broin is helping you “speak Outlander”. In a series of You Tube clips, Àdhamh is accompanied by stars of the Outlander cast as he teaches you how to pronounce some of the show’s Gaelic sayings. The show – made by the producers of Star Trek Next Generation and Battlestar Galactica – was shot in a converted warehouse in Cumbernauld and various locations around the country. Sites including Doune Castle, Perthshire, Culross and Loch Rannoch have also been used to film scenes from the drama. The big-budget fantasy romance series dubbed 'Scotland’s Game of Thrones' has cost more than £50million to make and despite only a short trailer having been released, fans are hooked. American author Diana Gabaldon's seven book series, the first of which was written 20 years ago, have become a phenomenon selling over 25 million copies worldwide. The show follows Claire Randall, played by Caitriona Balfe, a married former nurse living in 1945 who travels back in time to eighteenth-century Scotland. While there, she meets and falls in love with Scots actor Sam Heughan who portrays Jamie Fraser, and is torn between staying there and going back to her husband, Tobias Menzies’s character Frank.

Released just in time to team up with the new, and already very popular, YN-622C ETTL and HSS enabled radio triggers for off camera flash use. Currently available for Canon cameras, though a Nikon version is sure to come [EDIT – now available ]. Yong Nuo have really come a long way since their first TTL flash just a few short years ago, and the new YN-568EX is now quite a nice flash unit coming much closer to the original Canon/Nikon and other 3rd party Japanese flashes, and at a considerably lower price. The main things lacking compared to the higher priced offerings are mainly just the wireless master control (which is not really needed so much anymore), lack of USB port for firmware updates, and no external battery pack port. The omission of a battery port really being the only thing that may be a deal breaker for some, though the fast standard recycle may counter that to some degree. And for those looking for TTL slave flashes, compatibility with non Yong Nuo radio triggers may also be an important consideration.

OEMs spend a lot of time and money developing the components that go into a stock engine, and cost is usually a factor in what components are used. Rod bearings also play a pivotal role and experts say it’s all about the load and how long you have to carry the load that helps determine the type of bearings you should use for each application whether it’s performance, diesel or stock. As part of the rotating assembly, rods and bearings are an important part of the “character” you are building into your engine. Whether you are reconditioning the connecting rods or installing new, properly prepared and balanced rods, and bearings made of the right materials, will go a long way toward the longevity of your engine and your customer’s happiness with your work. Connecting Rods Without a doubt, there are a lot of con rods to choose from, therefore you should have a good idea what your customer wants before you start ordering parts. Stock connecting rods are good enough to handle modest power increases in mild street applications. Building an engine with more than 400-450 hp or one that will rev past 6,000 rpms using stock cast rods is asking for trouble. If you are reaching for big horsepower it is a good idea that you upgrade the connecting rods to a stronger material that can handle the higher loads and pressures of a modified engine. Engines that produce big power pound down on the connecting rods while engines that rev to higher rpms pull the rods apart." }, { "docid": "D2028502#0", "title": "http://www.emedicinehealth.com/stress_fracture/page2_em.htm\nStress Fracture", "text": "\"What Is a Stress Fracture?

Stress fractures can be considered an overuse injury of a bone. The bones in the body are constantly changing, responding to the work load that is placed upon them, and there is a constant turnover of cells as bone acts to repair itself. The more load placed on the bone, the more likely that calcium will be placed at that site. The less use a bone receives, the less calcium can be found within it.

This is especially evident in the bones of the foot, leg, and pelvis. These bones need to absorb the forces created from walking, running, and jumping.

But, GM and Chrysler stuck with the pushrod design for their LS and 5.7L and 6.2L Hemi engines, respectively. It’s easy to understand why rocker arms and pushrods are still a hot topic for performance engine building when you add in all the older engines and current aftermarket block/head combinations that still use pushrods and rocker arms. The rocker arms redirect the upward motion of the lifters and pushrods into the downward motion required to open the valves. The rocker shaft or ball stud mounting serves as the fulcrum point around which this motion occurs, and the relative length of the rocker arm on each side of the center fulcrum determines the lift ratio of the rocker. The advantage of using higher ratio rocker arms is that the same cam lobe profile can produce the total valve lift for more power. Like any lever, leverage is multiplied when the valve side of the rocker arm is longer than the pushrod side. The shorter the pushrod side of the rocker arm and the longer the valve side of the rocker arm, the higher the lift ratio of the rocker. If the length of the valve side of the rocker is 1.5 times that of the pushrod side, the lift ratio will be 1.5:1. If the valve side of the rocker is 2x the length of the pushrod side, the lift ratio will be 2.0:1." }, { "docid": "D896552#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint\nBolted joint", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Bolted joint in vertical cutaway Screw joint Stud joint Bolted joints are one of the most common elements in construction and machine design. They consist of fasteners that capture and join other parts, and are secured with the mating of screw threads. There are two main types of bolted joint designs: tension joints and shear joints. In the tension joint, the bolt and clamped components of the joint are designed to transfer an applied tension load through the joint by way of the clamped components by the design of a proper balance of joint and bolt stiffness. The joint should be designed such that the clamp load is never overcome by the external tension forces acting to separate the joint. If the external tension forces overcome the clamp load (bolt preload) the clamped joint components will separate, allowing relative motion of the components. The second type of bolted joint transfers the applied load in shear of the bolt shank and relies on the shear strength of the bolt. Tension loads on such a joint are only incidental. A preload is still applied but consideration of joint flexibility is not as critical as in the case where loads are transmitted through the joint in tension. Other such shear joints do not employ a preload on the bolt as they are designed to allow rotation of the joint about the bolt, but use other methods of maintaining bolt/joint integrity." }, { "docid": "D3323585#0", "title": "https://www.frg-law.com/firm-news/new-electronic-driver-log-regulations/\nNew Electronic Driver Log Regulations Coming Sooner Than Expected", "text": "\"New Electronic Driver Log Regulations Coming Sooner Than Expectedby Brian \"\"Buck\"\" Rogers | Mar 6, 2015 | Blog | 59 comments New federal regulations mandating the use of electronic driver logs are now set to go into effect sooner than expected.

Introduction This article is focused on horizontal centrifugal API (American Petroleum Industry) process pumps but many of the topics/concepts can also apply to ANSI pumps. There have been various studies done on why rolling element bearings fail prematurely, and consistently, the No. 1 cause can be attributed to poor lubrication. One particular study stated that 50 percent of damage is caused by defective lubrication. Poor or defective lubrication can be classified as:• Incorrect lubricant• Incorrect quantity of lubricant• Contaminated lubricant• Lubricant degradation Figure 1: Typical Bearing Failure Causes The API Standard 610 requires a minimum bearing life (L10) of 25,000 hours with continuous operation and rated conditions and at least 16,000 hours at maximum loads and speed.

The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts. Rotary bearings hold rotating components such as shafts or axles within mechanical systems, and transfer axial and radial loads from the source of the load to the structure supporting it. The simplest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole. Lubrication is often used to reduce friction. In the ball bearing and roller bearing, to prevent sliding friction, rolling elements such as rollers or balls with a circular cross-section are located between the races or journals of the bearing assembly.

Apr 07, 2014Jim Blesius What is Faux Leather? Faux leather is one of several names given to artificial or synthetic leather. These names are often used to describe specific end uses of synthetic leather products such as faux leather (sofa, chair and headboard upholstery), leatherette (auto upholstery, clothing), and koskin (consumer goods). There are two primary types of faux leather construction: polyurethane (“PU”), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC – “Vinyl”). Vinyl synthetic leather has been produced in the United States since the 1940s, initially for products such as shoes, automobile interiors and upholstery. In the late 1950s Du Pont and other chemical companies began developing polyurethane products. Both polyurethane and vinyl synthetic leathers are used in making clothing, upholstery, and product covers, but each is better for certain applications than others. PU fabric is softer, more flexible, and breathable, so it's more commonly used for making high-wear products, like clothing and upholstery (surfaces that come into direct contact with skin). Vinyl is not as breathable as PU, but this is often ideal for products that need to repel moisture such as book bindings or cases for electronic devices." }, { "docid": "D1611898#0", "title": "http://www.npr.org/2014/11/23/366084646/mta-targets-man-spreading-and-other-subway-faux-pas\nMTA Targets 'Man-Spreading' And Other Subway Faux Pas", "text": "\"National MTA Targets 'Man-Spreading' And Other Subway Faux Pas Listen · 3:033:03Queue Download Embed Embed< iframe src=\"\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/366084646/366084647\"\" width=\"\"100%\"\" height=\"\"290\"\" frameborder=\"\"0\"\" scrolling=\"\"no\"\" title=\"\"NPR embedded audio player\"\">Transcript November 23, 2014 7:14 AM ETHeard on Weekend Edition Sunday New York's MTA is planning a new campaign to encourage courtesy on subways.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs public transit in New York, is taking steps to clarify that issue starting in January. It's launching a public campaign targeting a couple of particularly bad behaviors. One - swinging backpacks - those should be removed before entering the train. Two - the phenomenon bloggers call man spreading, and the MTA calls - well, here's MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz.

It begins: “I dreamed I was a prostitute and that I molested a little African American rodent”Well, alrighty, then.

A. French Source Words that are spelled the same in both English and French are true French cognates or vrais amis. Given how many words are the same (in spelling) in French and English, you already have a considerable start to acquiring a large French vocabulary. Although French cognates may be pronounced differently (almost 100% of the time they are), the spelling is the same. This exact matching between English and French words is one of the great advantages to learning French as an English speaker. In essence, some of the simplest French phrases to learn are ones that have several words the same in French and in English. When you see the following French phrase and pick out the French cognates that you recognize, half of the sentence is crystal clear. For example je vais au cinéma ce week-end regarder un film, the words 'cinema', 'weekend', and 'film' should be recognizable; this makes understanding the whole sentence a lot less work than if there were no French cognates in the sentence. History of French Cognates English comes in large part from French roots. If you look in an etymological dictionary, you will find that many English words are derived from French. In many cases, the spelling has changed a small amount (centre-center) and in other cases the spelling has changed so much that you may not recognize the French word as being the root for the English word." }, { "docid": "D447176#0", "title": "http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-156166/Can-eyes-saying-you.html\nCan you see what your eyes are saying about you?", "text": "\"Can you see what your eyes are saying about you?by AMY ANDERSON, Daily Mail The eyes are not only windows to the soul - but to your general health.

A short definition of the Shagreen Warmly welcome to Sanaco furiniture’s website. This paragraph is to clarify what is Shagreen. The word Shagreen derives from the French chagrin and is related to Italian zigrino and Venetian sagrin, derived from the Turkish sāğrī / çāğrī ”rump of a horse” or the prepared skin of this part. The roughness of its texture led to the French meaning of anxiety, vexation, embarrassment, or annoyance. In a short definition, Shagreen is the rough hide of a shark or ray, covered with numerous bony denticles and used as an abrasive and as leather. In real life, Shagreen is durable leather with one side covered with round calcified papillae called placoid scales. These calcified papillae create a smoothly rough texture that has been used through history as a mild abrasive, like sandpapers in the processing of smoothing wood and metal work. Due to its roughness, Shagreen has been applied for many purposes in life through countries and from generation to generation. However, there has been some controversy about whether shagreen is an environmentally correct material." }, { "docid": "D2569293#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/mcsqrd/sewing-projects-yo-yos/\nSewing Projects: Yo Yos", "text": "\"Craft Flowers Flower Crafts Flower Diy Cloth Flowers Flower Making Easy Fabric Flowers Faux Flowers Material Flowers Paper Flowers Yo yo flowers for quilt. without the stupid yoyo plastic thing. feel like a yoyo for buying one.

Mc Kenzie/Getty Images You know the initials — you've probably seen them on more invitations than you can remember. We're talking about those four little letters R. S. V. P. They stand for the French phrase \"\"répondez, s'il vous plaît,\"\" which literally means \"\"respond if you please.\"\" But most people sending an invitation that includes R. S. V. P. want their guests to let them know whether they accept or decline the invitation. In fact, the renowned etiquette organization, the Emily Post Institute, says the biggest etiquette faux pas they hear about is guests not R. S. V. P.ing to invitations. Anna Post wrote in a column on the site that \"\"failure to respond to invitations is so annoying to so many. Without our follow through, there is no way for the host to intuit our answer, and all the while they need to know their final numbers for planning purposes. \"\" Judith Martin, the author of several etiquette books and a syndicated newspaper columnist known as \"\" Miss Manners ,\"\" hammers home the importance of R. S. V. P.ing. In a September 2016 Washington Post column, she told a reader, \"\"Even the most casual invitations require definitive replies. If a co-worker stopped by your desk and asked if you'd like to go out for coffee, would you just turn away without a word? \"\"" }, { "docid": "D1588938#0", "title": "http://www.dictionary.com/browse/boo-boo\nboo-boo", "text": "\"boo-boo [ boo -boo]Spell Syllables Examples Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.comnoun, plural boo-boos.

Undo Answer Wiki7 Answers Sid Reddy Answered Jul 24, 2016This is a complex question and the short answer is Yes, for most of its employees. But before going into personal experiences, let’s look at some data. Netflix is known to be a “ firing machine ”, but is there a way to quantify that? If you google “netflix firing employee” you get roughly 697,000 results. If you simply google “netflix” you get 185,000,000 results. You can divide the two to get 0.004, which in simple math terms is the conditional probability of “firing employee” given Netflix, in the context of web corpus." }, { "docid": "D796432#0", "title": "https://nobullying.com/what-does-btw-mean/\nBy the Way, what does BTW mean?", "text": "In Cyber Safety, Internet Glossary By the Way, what does BTW mean? Modified : January 31,2015By the way, what does BTW mean? Acronyms can be a tricky little thing to figure out. Some, like smh (which means “shaking my head”), can be a little more complicated. This is due in part to its recent creation. An acronym like lol (which means “laughing out loud”) is much more easily understood, but it’s not too hard to mistake it for something else. For example, I’ve seen more than a few people use it to mean “lots of love”, which can be an embarrassing faux pas if used in response to a sad post on Facebook or Twitter. In order to better understand acronyms and why they are used, we are going to discuss one in particular – namely, we will discuss the btw meaning. A general history of acronyms While this is typically common information, it’s worthwhile to discuss it. Acronyms like btw were not especially common before the Internet, but the principle of shortening phrases or words to better convey themselves – particularly in an informal situation – is something that people have been doing for quite a while." }, { "docid": "D106833#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eh\nEh", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the English interjection.

It is nearly always found in dependent clauses introduced by que or qui, and the subjects of the dependent and main clauses are usually different. Je veux que tu le fasses. I want you to do it. Il faut que nous partions. it is necessary that we leave. The following pages of this lesson include lists of verbs, expressions, and conjunctions which require the subjunctive in French. They are divided into categories to help you remember them. The subjunctive can seem overwhelming, but the thing to remember is the subjunctive = subjectivity, unreality.

Peep Toe with patterned fishnet style hosiery. I received this request from one of my lovely readers: Imogen, I’d appreciate your professional opinion and advice on the matter of whether it is okay to wear hosiery with shoes that have either an open toe (such as a strappy sandal or peep-toe pump) or an open back (such as a mule or a slingback pump). I have bunions on my feet, so I carefully select shoes that hide the bunions so they can’t be seen. However, because of the bunions, I have to wear a wider width shoe, which makes closed pumps impossible to wear due to the fact that they are too wide in the heel. For this reason, I wear slingback pumps. I’m pushing 50 and feel very strongly that hosiery should be worn with dressy and/or office attire. However, Clinton Kelly (of TLC’s “What Not to Wear”) says that if a shoe has no back, then hosiery should not be worn. I’d like for this issue to be settled once and for all, as other websites have stated that hosiery is perfectly fine for slingbacks. IMO, the problem is when someone wears hosiery that has reinforced toe seams (not sandalfoot hosiery) with shoes that are open in the front, so the seams show." }, { "docid": "D50495#0", "title": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngwa6-x_aHM\nHow To Pronounce Faux Pas", "text": "How To Pronounce Faux Paspronunciationbook Subscribe 145KAdd to Share More220,880 views13340Published on Jan 16, 2012http://www.bearstearnsbravo.com This video shows you how to pronounce faux pas.

You can learn a lot about what’s hot for different body types, and even more interestingly — you can see what is an absolute fashion faux pas for everyone. Here are some tips to help you avoid being the gauche guest the next time you attend a wedding.1. Avoid wearing white: Unless you are invited to a white-themed wedding, don’t take attention away from the bride by showing up in a white gown. Trust me, people will talk!2. Don’t wear anything too short or too low-cut: Even worse, don’t wear something that is both too short and too low-cut.

Many people come up under dressed when they receive invitations for semi formal events. If you, too, find this dress code mysterious, here’s a detailed guide to help you arrive not only in the right attire but to stand out in the crowd. Contrary to the popular belief, semi formal is quite easy to follow. It is not as decorous as white tie or black tie events. Instead, men’s semi formal is a slightly more relaxed dress code. But wait, it doesn’t mean you can wear a jeans or khaki for a semi formal event. Remember that it is still a dress code and you need to follow the dos and don’ts to pull off your look seamlessly.

In general, the matter of whether—and at what rate—a company is growing can be highly ambiguous. A company can experience strong sales growth, but simultaneously be losing market share and experiencing financial losses. In such a case, the company's volume is rising, but that of its competitors is rising even faster. And, on the bottom line, sales growth means little when the company cannot turn a profit. The same company may be gaining market share, but losing sales volume and money. This suggests that volume is falling throughout the industry, but only less so for this company. In any case, it still loses money on its operations. Consider a third case, where a company's earnings are rising, but it's losing sales volume and market share. This is quite possibly the only favorable scenario, because it suggests that the company is cutting marginal operations to concentrate on what it does best—in effect, becoming smaller but more profitable." }, { "docid": "D95765#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_equity\nBrand equity", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search' Brand equity' is a phrase used in the marketing industry which describes the value of having a well-known brand name, based on the idea that the owner of a well-known brand name can generate more revenue simply from brand recognition; that is from products with that brand name than from products with a less well known name, as consumers believe that a product with a well-known name is better than products with less well-known names. [ 1] [2] [3] [4]Brand equity refers to the value of a brand. In the research literature, brand equity has been studied from two different perspectives: cognitive psychology and information economics. According to cognitive psychology, brand equity lies in consumer’s awareness of brand features and associations, which drive attribute perceptions. According to information economics, a strong brand name works as a credible signal of product quality for imperfectly informed buyers and generates price premiums as a form of return to branding investments. It has been empirically demonstrated that brand equity plays an important role in the determination of price structure and, in particular, firms are able to charge price premiums that derive from brand equity after controlling for observed product differentiation. [ 5]Some marketing researchers have concluded that brands are one of the most valuable assets a company has, [6] as brand equity is one of the factors which can increase the financial value of a brand to the brand owner, although not the only one. [ 7] Elements that can be included in the valuation of brand equity include (but not limited to): changing market share, profit margins, consumer recognition of logos and other visual elements, brand language associations made by consumers, consumers' perceptions of quality and other relevant brand values. Consumers' knowledge about a brand also governs how manufacturers and advertisers market the brand. [ 8] [9] Brand equity is created through strategic investments in communication channels and market education and appreciates through economic growth in profit margins, market share, prestige value, and critical associations." }, { "docid": "D2247147#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/university/financialstatements/financialstatements6.asp\nFinancial Statements: Working Capital", "text": "\"Financial Statements: Introduction Financial Statements: Who's In Charge?

Especially when time is limited, it's smart to tailor your emphasis so it's in line with the economic drivers that preoccupy the company's industry. It's tough to get ahead of the \"\"investing pack\"\" if you are reacting to generic financial results - such as earnings per share (EPS) or revenue growth - after they've already been reported. For any given business, there are usually some key economic drivers, or leading indicators, that capture and reflect operational performance and eventually translate into lagging indicators such as EPS. For certain businesses, trends in the working capital accounts can be among these key leading indicators of financial performance. Where is Working Capital Analysis Most Critical? On the one hand, working capital is always significant. This is especially true from the lender's or creditor's perspective, where the main concern is defensiveness: can the company meet its short-term obligations, such as paying vendor bills? But from the perspective of equity valuation and the company's growth prospects, working capital is more critical to some businesses than to others." }, { "docid": "D2913735#0", "title": "https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/234665\nHow to Price Your Staffing Services", "text": "\"Growth Strategies / Startup Kit How to Price Your Staffing Services Next Article Add to Queue Entrepreneur Press and Krista Turner - Guest Writer June 12, 2014 6 min read Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In Start Your Own Staffing Service, the staff at Entrepreneur Press and writer Krista Thoren Turner explain how to start and run a successful staffing service. In this edited excerpt, the authors discuss how you determine your fees in order to make a good living with your staffing service. How much can you expect your staffing service to make in gross sales? Figures vary wildly in the staffing services industry, but experts say privately held companies probably average somewhere around $750,000 per year. The profit for staffing services is in the markup you'll add to the price of an employee's labor. Although industry markups have slipped in recent years, markups can remain high even in a slumping economy because there aren't that many qualified applicants to work with.

Efficiency ratios No matter what kind of business a company is in, it must invest in assets to perform its operations. Efficiency ratios measure how effectively the company utilizes these assets, as well as how well it manages its liabilities. Liquidity Ratios In a nutshell, a company's liquidity is its ability to meet its near-term obligations, and it is a major measure of financial health. Liquidity can be measured through several ratios. Leverage Ratios A company's leverage relates to how much debt it has on its balance sheet, and it is another measure of financial health. Generally, the more debt a company has, the riskier its stock is, since debtholders have first claim to a company's assets.

Investors who use this strategy believe the market overreacts to good and bad news, which triggers price fluctuations that don’t correspond to the company’s long-term fundamentals. When price temporarily declines, it creates an opportunity for the investor to profit – with the assumption that the market will eventually correct its error in valuation. Contradictions It should be noted that the theory behind value investing contradicts the well-known yet controversial efficient market hypothesis (EMH), which proposes that price always reflects all relevant information, and therefore reveals the intrinsic value of a company. EMH investors contend that it would be impossible for investors to buy undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices because stocks always trade at their fair value. Still, many successful investors, including Warren Buffett – the billionaire disciple of Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing and author of “The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing” – have proved that value investing can be a profitable method of stock picking. Value, Not Junk Value investors look for stocks with strong fundamentals – such as earnings, dividends, book value and cash flow – that happen to be selling at a discount, given their quality. To clarify, value investors don’t buy stocks just because they are “cheap”; the stocks must be selling at a bargain price relative to their fundamentals. Here’s a simple example. Assume Company A and Company B have both been trading at about $25 per share for the past year." }, { "docid": "D3332272#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_possibilities_frontier\nProductionâpossibility frontier", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Production possibilities frontier)navigation search A production–possibility frontier ( PPF) or production possibility curve ( PPC) is the possible tradeoff of producing combinations of goods with constant technology and resources per unit time. One good can only be produced by diverting resources from other goods, and so by producing less of them. This tradeoff is usually considered for an economy, but also applies to each individual, household, and economic organization. Graphically bounding the production set for fixed input quantities, the PPF curve shows the maximum possible production level of one commodity for any given production level of the other, given the existing state of technology. By doing so, it defines productive efficiency in the context of that production set: a point on the frontier indicates efficient use of the available inputs (such as points B, D and C in the graph), a point beneath the curve (such as A) indicates inefficiency, and a point beyond the curve (such as X) indicates impossibility. The PSU represented by the point on the PPF where an efficient economy operates (which is obtained by tangency with the highest individual or social indifference curve, not shown in the graph) presents the priorities or choices of the modeled agent, such as the choice of having more butter produced and fewer guns, or vice versa. An example PPF with illustrative points marked PPFs are normally drawn as bulging upwards or outwards from the origin (\"\"concave\"\" when viewed from the origin), but they can be represented as bulging downward (inwards) or linear (straight), depending on a number of assumptions. A PPF illustrates several economic concepts, such as scarcity of resources (the fundamental economic problem that all societies face), opportunity cost (or marginal rate of transformation), productive efficiency, allocative efficiency, and economies of scale. An outward shift of the PPF results from growth of the availability of inputs, such as physical capital or labour, or from technological progress in knowledge of how to transform inputs into outputs. Such a shift reflects, for instance, economic growth of an economy already operating at its full productivity (on the PPF), which means that more of both outputs can now be produced during the specified period of time without sacrificing the output of either good." }, { "docid": "D1791635#0", "title": "https://revenuesandprofits.com/amazon-vs-walmart-revenues-and-profits-1995-2014/\nAmazon vs Walmart Revenues and Profits 1995-2014", "text": "Amazon vs Walmart Revenues and Profits 1995-2014Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter In this post, we will compare Amazon and Walmart revenues, net profits, and net profit margins for the years 1995 to 2014.

EBITDA to sales ratio Adjusted EBITDAProfit Margin BREAKING DOWN 'EBITDA Margin'The EBITDA margin figure is helpful in comparing the profitability of different companies while factoring out the effects of decisions related to financing and accounting. It's simple formula is as follows: (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) / Total Revenue Therefore, a firm with revenue totaling $125,000 and EBITDA of $15,000 would have an EBITDA margin of $15,000/$125,000 = 12%. Calculating an EBITDA margin is a helpful metric when gauging the effectiveness of a firm's cost-cutting efforts. The higher a company's EBITDA margin is, the lower that company's operating expenses are in relation to total revenue. For example, after lowering its yearly expenses by nearly 17% in 2017, Twitter saw its EBITDA margin rise to 35%, compared to about 30% the prior year.

Collectively, private labels in the United States command higher unit shares than the strongest national brand in 77 of 250 supermarket product categories. And they are collectively second or third in 100 of those categories. But on the other hand, many manufacturers have overreacted to the threat posed by private labels without fully recognizing two salient points. First, private-label strength generally varies with economic conditions. That is, private-label market share generally goes up when the economy is suffering and down in stronger economic periods. Over the past 20 years, private-label market share has averaged 14 % of U. S. dollar supermarket sales.

Economic equilibrium is largely theoretical, but it’s an ideal which economic policymakers strive towards. Some market inequalities are countered with taxes or subsidies. A notable method is Pigovian taxation – a “sin” tax developed to discourage a specific behavior through taxation. Pigovian taxes were theorized to correct negative externalities by imposing an additional marginal cost on a producer. By penalizing an unfavorable behavior, economic policymakers believe that the tax system would discourage or limit the activity which causes the negative externality. Negative externalities occur when a producer does not pay the full cost of a market decision, and the excess cost, often not measured in currency, is absorbed by society. This creates market inefficiencies, as there is a gap between a producer’s costs and the costs imposed on society because of the producer’s decisions." }, { "docid": "D1155251#0", "title": "http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-operating-income-and-vs-net-income/\nDifference Between Operating Income and Net Income", "text": "\"Difference Between Operating Income and Net Income Posted on February 21, 2017 by Dili Key Difference – Operating Income vs Net Income Income can be simply referred to as the difference between total fund inflows less total expenses for a business.

Definition: The contribution margin, sometimes used as a ratio, is the difference between a company’s total sales revenue and variable costs. In other words, the contribution margin equals the amount that sales exceed variable costs. This is the sales amount that can be used to, or contributed to, pay off fixed costs. The concept of this equation relies on the difference between fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are production costs that remain the same as production efforts increase. Variable costs, on the other hand, increase with production levels. The contribution margin measures how efficiently a company can produce products and maintain low levels of variable costs. It is considered a managerial ratio because companies rarely report margins to the public.

This traditional Italian favorite started as a peasant dish due to being composed of very inexpensive ingredients and most often is one dish that would be prepared at home for family, and not guests. Today Pasta e Fagioli can be widely found even in restaurants, although it may be pronounced pasta fazool in the United States. Pasta fagioli is commonly made using cannellini beans or borlotti beans and some type of small pasta such as elbow macaroni or ditalini. The base is generally olive oil, garlic, minced onion, and spices, along with stewed tomato or tomato paste, and some broth or water, although some variations do not include tomatoes at all, and are made from only broth. Modern restaurant recipes may be vegetarian, or include an Italian meat such as prosciutto or pancetta as I have used in my version. If you want a vegetarian version of this dish, simply skip adding the pancetta, and use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. I add onions, carrots, and celery to my recipe, although I keep them chopped small so that the beans and pasta remain the stars of this dish. This recipe also varies greatly based on the region or town in which it is prepared, as well as depending on available ingredients. The consistency of the dish can vary, as some renditions fall clearly in the soup category, usually because the tomato was left out, while others are much thicker and would be considered more of a pasta dish." }, { "docid": "D617427#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/15063016/common-cooking-terms-flash-cards/\nCommon Cooking Terms", "text": "\"47 terms julie_mcinnes Common Cooking Terms This is a list of common cooking and baking terms Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Sort What does whip mean? to beat food lightly and rapidly in order to incorporate air into the mixture and to increase its volume What does baste mean? to moisten foods during cooking with pan drippings or a sauce in order to add flavor and prevent drying What does chill mean? to cool a food to below room temperature in the refrigerator or freezer or over ice What does snip mean? to cut food, often fresh herbs or dried fruit, with kitchen shears into very small, uniform pieces using short quick strokes What does cube mean? to cut into uniform pieces, usually a half inch on all sides What does butterfly mean? to split foods in the middle without completely separating the halves, then spreading the halves to resemble a butterfly.

Patrolmen Joseph Piagentini and Waverly Jones were gunned down after being ambushed while on foot patrol in Harlem in 1971. Officer Piagentini pleaded with his attackers to spare him saying: 'I have got a wife and two young children'. But the ruthless killers emptied their gun on him and then seized his revolver as he scrambled to hide in some bushes and repeatedly shot him again. Officer Jones died from a single gunshot to the back of the head. The killers who carried out the murders - members of the Black Liberation Army, an underground violent movement Black Panthers - as part of what they called a 'Black Struggle' took Jones' life even though he was also a black man declaring 'a pig is a pig'.

The first thing that comes to mind for many people is that it depends on how heavy an object is. While an object's weight *, or more properly its mass * * does play a role, it is not the only factor. If it were, we could not explain how a giant ocean liner floats while a small pebble sinks. Mass matters, but there is more to it. The ability of an object to float is described as its buoyancy. The buoyancy of an object is its tendency to float on or rise in a liquid. An object that floats in water is said to be positively buoyant. An object that sinks is negatively buoyant.

They typically come in various sizes. For most vaginas, a moderately sized condom is adequate; women who have recently given birth should try a large size first. The inner ring at the closed end of the sheath is used to insert the condom inside the vagina and to hold it in place during intercourse. The rolled outer ring at the open end of the sheath remains outside the vagina and covers part of the external genitalia.

(FB)", "text": "A: Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) went public with its initial public offering (IPO) on May 18, 2012. With a peak market capitalization of over $104 billion, the social networking company had one of the largest and most anticipated IPOs in history. Facebook's IPO Failed to Meet Expectations With all of the hype surrounding the social media giant's IPO, expectations were sky-high. Almost immediately, it became apparent the results were going to be lower than expected. The stock fell right at opening, and share prices plummeted more than 40% over the next several months, with losses totaling $50 billion by August 2012. Much of the lack of confidence in the stock came from within, as 57% of the shares sold in the IPO were from Facebook insiders. Another factor in the stock's falling price was the decision by General Motors to pull $10 million in advertising from Facebook due to ineffectiveness. NASDAQ Glitch Costs Investors Facebook's initial IPO price was raised just before going public to between $35 and $38, citing heavy demand. However, a glitch in NASDAQ’s electronic trading system delayed some investors from selling the stock on its first day of trading when the stock price fell. Investors stuck with huge losses sued, and NASDAQ eventually paid a $10 million fine over the botched IPO debacle." }, { "docid": "D1143643#0", "title": "http://calnewport.com/blog/2013/10/03/why-im-still-not-going-to-join-facebook-four-arguments-that-failed-to-convince-me/\nWhy Iâm (Still) Not Going to Join Facebook: Four Arguments that Failed to Convince Me", "text": "Why I’m (Still) Not Going to Join Facebook: Four Arguments that Failed to Convince Me October 3rd, 2013 · 113 comments Why I Never Joined Facebook Two weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about why I never joined Facebook.

I try to devote as much of it as possible to creating valuable things and spending time with my family and close friends. For a new tool to claim some of my time and attention from these activities it has to offer me a lot of value in return. Facebook falls well short of this threshold.

December 9, 2011Answer Question Tweet8 484 in Internet Report MORE: facebook, facebook friends, facebook photos, facebook timeline, friends list484 Answers Answers0At the top of the new Facebook Timeline profile, the 6 friends photos that facebook chooses for the smaller friends list box across the top banner is much more likely to show friends that are more likely to be your closer friends (and/or facebook stalkers, crushes, or recently interacted with friends). It's also clear that the friends shown are much less random \"\"friends\"\" and very much tied to interactions on facebook (recent interactions seemingly playing a large role). So here are some factors contributing to why you might be seeing certain friends in the small Friends list box on your own profile: - Interactions (recently and over time) - Profile views (they've viewed your profile and/ or you've viewed their profile - Total amount of views when compared to other friends profiles viewed) - Photos that you've been tagged in (or have tagged your friends). - Wall posts - Likes - Comments - Photos viewed (they've viewed your pictures, and/or you've viewed theirs) - Online Friends who are currently Online (or recently been online for Random people that might show up) - Chat - Facebook IM chat messages between each other - Private messages sent between friends Any \"\"mutual interactions\"\" between yourself and your friends will play a huge role, so if you and your friend both viewed each others profile recently (or liked each others photos, commented on each other profiles, were tagged in photos, etc), then these friends are more likely to appear.

I think it's pretty creepy. Answer by a facebook user : Facebook is definitely recommending people who search you. There are people who have no mutual friends with me and I have never contacted by phone or email, and Facebook recommended I add them as friends. I have met them in real life, but not college or work and they don't live in my city.

When I first took a look at the Sequoia, it did not seem to be sufficiently rated at 7,100 lbs. The salesman told me that the Feds are coming out with new guidelines for tow ratings and that Toyota is ahead of other manufacturers in using the new methodology. After doing some research, it appears that could be the case - the 2010 Sequoia outfitted the same has a rating of 10,000 lbs. Has anybody else heard of this change in guidelines for tow ratings? The other possibility is that Toyota was previously overrating the Sequoia but it is now properly rated and I shouldn't be using it to tow a 7,600 GVWR trailer. Thanks for the feedback.

The FBI Name Check is performed by the FBI as a part of the National Name Check Program, which dates back to Executive Order 10450 that was issued during the Eisenhower Administration. [ 1] The FBI Name Check for an individual involves a search of the FBI’s Central Records System Universal Index for any appearance of the name of the individual, as well as close phonetic variants and permutations of that name, in any of the records stored in the Universal Index. If any such occurrences are found, the Name Check also involves retrieval and analysis of the relevant paper and electronic files from local FBI offices and from other law-enforcement agencies. FBI Name Checks are performed in relation to government employment and appointments, security clearances, admissions to the bar, attending White House functions, federal and state criminal investigations, counterintelligence and counterterrorism activities as well as applications for visas, green cards, and for naturalization. One of the biggest customers of the National Name Check Program (NNCP) is USCIS (formerly INS) which, since late 2002 requires comprehensive FBI Name Checks for all applicants for permanent residence (green card) and for naturalization.

A: Quick Answer Arrest charge codes are used by the legal system to provide information on an arrest and the ensuing legal process, as detailed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Charge codes are also commonly used to perform background checks, as they are a concise way of relaying information regarding a person's contact with the legal system, according to National Employment Screening. Codes may vary by jurisdiction. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are Police Scanner Codes? What Are Some Police Signals and Codes? How Do You Get Security Services From Patrol One? Credit: Joe Raedle Getty Images News Getty Images Full Answer As the Missouri State Highway Patrol explains, charge codes are created upon arrest and are then used as the case moves through the legal system, from prosecution to incarceration to probation. Most jurisdictions have charge codes for multiple categories, such as those used by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, including a statute number and subsection; a uniform offense numeric code; the level of the charge, such as misdemeanor or felony; the degree of the charge, such as first, second or third degree; an indicator on whether the subject is a juvenile; a shorthand code identifying the charge; and a description of the charge. Charge codes used to indicate class may include violation for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor for petty larceny or criminal possession of marijuana, a felony for third degree burglary and a violent felony for second degree robbery or criminal possession of a weapon, as detailed in New York State Law." }, { "docid": "D274182#0", "title": "https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartB-Chapter2.html\nVolume 12 â Citizenship & Naturalization, Part B â Naturalization Examination", "text": "A.

Unfortunately, much of the media is willing to play along with AGS`s deceptions, depicting the group as a \"\"moderate voice,\"\" a \"\"third way\"\" in the gun-policy debate. For the record, AGS has nothing to do with gun safety. It is an organization whose sole founder, a former board member of Handgun Control, Inc., has a highly focused and barely hidden agenda: licensing all American gun owners and registering every firearm they own. AGS is staffed by the architects of the anti-gun schemes of Bill Clinton and Sen. Charles Schumer. Its president is Jonathan Cowan, who served at the right hand of the self-appointed anti-gun Czar of the Clinton cabinet--HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo, whose agenda for fighting crime revolved around threatening nonsensical lawsuits against gun makers. Cowan is assisted by Clinton White House political aide Matt Bennett, and by Jim Kessler, the former gun-control advisor to Senator Charles Schumer.

The Brady Act is a public record and is available from many sources including the Internet at www.atf.gov. The NICS is a national system that checks available records on persons who may be disqualified from receiving firearms. The FBI developed the system through a cooperative effort with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and local and state law enforcement agencies. The NICS is a computerized background check system designed to respond instantly on most background check inquiries so the FFLs receive an almost immediate response. In Calendar Year 2015, the NICS Contacted Call Centers handled calls an average of 141 seconds. After transferring the calls to the NICS Section, the wait and processing time averaged 446.3 seconds. When firearm background checks were conducted via the NICS E-check, the wait and processing time averaged 107.5 seconds. Depending on the willingness of state governments to act as a liaison for the NICS, the FFLs contact either the FBI or a designated state Point of Contact (POC) to initiate background checks on individuals possessing or receiving firearms. The background check process, as performed by the FBI and by state POCs, is described below." }, { "docid": "D1044846#0", "title": "http://www.diligentiagroup.com/background-investigations/how-to-conduct-a-background-check-like-the-fbi/\nHow to Conduct a Background Check Like the FBI", "text": "How to Conduct a Background Check Like the FBIFebruary 20, 2012 by Brian Willingham Share 23 Share 10 Tweet 538The Federal Bureau of Investigation released a background check report on Steve Jobs from 1991 when Jobs was being considered for a position in George H. W. Bush’s administration. Aside from a few comments about “his personal life being lacking due to his narcissism and shallowness,” there were not a whole lot of surprises in the 191 pages, other than the fact that he did some drugs in the 1970s (who didn’t? ), he was neglecting his daughter born out of wedlock and was involved in a few lawsuits. What may be surprising to some folks is the degree to which the FBI used “open sources,” or public records, in the course of the investigation. While the FBI did access sources only available to law enforcement officials (i.e., NCIC), the majority of the report is filled with public record checks, including checks of civil and criminal indices, verification of high school and college degrees, review and analysis of court documents, and interviews. Today a background check of this depth and nature by a private investigative firm would cost upwards of several hundred thousand dollars, but it can be done. Here are some interesting tips to take from the Jobs report: Questionnaire – Jobs filled out a 12-page questionnaire, providing his address history, school history, detailed employment history, familial history, “police record,” litigation history and medical record, among other things. If you are hiring an executive for your company or a board member or even considering making an investment with someone, why not ask the person to fill out a background check questionnaire? Asking someone to fill out a medical record questionnaire is completely off-limits due to privacy restrictions, but asking some basic questions may not be.

Because of its prestige- – and its broad powers – FBI background checks are the gold standard in resume verification. Features An FBI background check will show all data reported to the federal agency by state and local law enforcement agencies. This will include information regarding any time an individual has been arrested or fingerprinted. Citations and fines may or may not appear depending on whether the local jurisdiction reported these offenses to the federal authorities. Significance In most cases, an FBI background check is used in conjunction with vetting an individual for a job. Most applications will ask an individual to volunteer information about their criminal records, and an FBI background check can be used to check the veracity of the application responses.

According to an FBI probable cause affidavit (scroll down to read the full doc), from January 2011 to September 2013, “…the Silk road website has served as a sprawling black-market bazaar, where illegal drugs and other illicit goods and services have been regularly bought and sold by the site’s users. ”Here’s what you should know about Ulbricht and the apparent end of his enterprise.1. Ulbricht Allegedly Created the Internet’s ‘Most Sophisticated Criminal Marketplace’ (Google+)Silk Road operated on a clandestine Tor network and sold goods in exchange for the digital currency Bitcoin. Wikipedia defines Tor: Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than three thousand relays to conceal a user’s location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. According to the criminal complaint that led to Ulbricht’s arrest warrant (located at the bottom of this article), the site has, “as of July 23,2013, there were approximately 957,079 registered user accounts. ”The FBI special agent responsible for the document says that the website does nothing to regulate whether a user can have more than one account, muddying the nearly million-user figure: This is not necessarily equal to the number of actual users of the website, since nothing prevents a user from creating multiple accounts. However, based on my training and experience, this volume of user accounts indicates that the site has been visited by hundreds of thousands of unique users.2.

Clinton is expected later today to name U. S. District Judge Louis Freeh of New York to the once-legendary post. Freeh, 43, is a former FBI agent and federal prosecutor. The long-expected replacement is designed to restore the lofty status of the FBI director and clear away a cloud of suspected ethical lapses. ``We cannot have a leadership vacuum at an agency as important to the United States as the FBI,`` Clinton said at the White House. ``It is time that this difficult chapter in the agency`s history is brought to a close. ``The firing came after Sessions refused a request last weekend by Reno to resign. With a stern gaze, Reno said she had completed her own review and studied an internal Justice Department report from the Bush administration that accused Sessions of evading taxes and flying his family around the country at taxpayer expense. ``Based on this review,`` Reno said, ``I have concluded that the director has exhibited a serious deficiency in judgment ... and that he does not command the respect and confidence to lead the bureau and the law enforcement community in addressing the many issues facing law enforcement today. ``Deputy FBI Director Floyd Clarke was named acting director until the Senate confirms Clinton`s nominee." }, { "docid": "D20463#0", "title": "http://whokilledjfk.net/tippit.htm\n.", "text": "\"The Warren Commission tells us that Oswald also killed Dallas Police Officer J D Tippit.

The FBI’s recent moves suggest that its inquiry could have evolved from the preliminary fact-finding stage that the agency launches when it receives a credible referral, according to former FBI and Justice Department officials interviewed by POLITICO.“This sounds to me like it’s more than a preliminary inquiry; it sounds like a full-blown investigation,” said Tom Fuentes, former assistant director of the FBI. “ When you have this amount of resources going into it …. I think it’s at the investigative level. ”The FBI declined to respond to questions about the scope of its ongoing work. But POLITICO learned that around early October, the FBI requested documents from a company involved in the server arrangement after Clinton left State. It also interviewed a former high-ranking policy official at State about the contents of top Clinton aides’ emails.

Overview of FBI Federal bureau of investigation is a government agency that works on two different fronts; federal criminal investigation and counter intelligence. Working as an important agency under the U. S. Department of Justice, it has the authorization to investigate violations of more than three hundred categories of federal crimes in addition to its jurisdiction over crimes that take place on Indian Reservations in the United States. Apart from these responsibilities the FBI also plays a supportive role for other law enforcement agencies through help with laboratory examinations, finger print identification and training. Another vital aspect of the FBI operations is collecting, disseminating and analyzing intelligence information for its own use and that of its partners so as to eliminate all threats to the U. S. national security. Featured Schools Transcript Working as a FBI agent is a challenging yet highly rewarding career choice. You’ll be assigned an array of responsibilities that will enable the FBI and other agencies to guard US interests from internal and external threats. The hiring process for an FBI agent is rigorous and competitive, so you want to be prepared and have the right level of education under your belt. FBI applicants must possess a four year degree from any college or university accredited by one of the regional or national institutional associations recognized by the United States secretary of education.

S. — and gets away with it. By Philip Giraldi Israeli government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for the media and popular consumption. The reality is that Israel’s intelligence agencies target the United States intensively, particularly in pursuit of military and dual-use civilian technology. Among nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department. It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and telecommunications security. Israel is believed to have the ability to monitor nearly all phone records originating in the United States, while numerous Israeli air-travel security companies are known to act as the local Mossad stations. As tensions with Iran increase, sources in the counterintelligence community report that Israeli agents have become more aggressive in targeting Muslims living in the United States as well as in operating against critics. There have been a number of cases reported to the FBI about Mossad officers who have approached leaders in Arab-American communities and have falsely represented themselves as “U. S. intelligence.” Because few Muslims would assist an Israeli, this is done to increase the likelihood that the target will cooperate. It’s referred to as a “false flag” operation." }, { "docid": "D3058403#0", "title": "https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17262243-don-t-talk-to-strangers\nDon't Talk to Strangers (Keye Street #3)", "text": "\"Want to Read Rate this book1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Open Preview Don't Talk to Strangers (Keye Street #3)by Amanda Kyle Williams (Goodreads Author)4.15 · Rating details · 1,385 Ratings · 252 Reviews He likes them smart.

By James Bovard • December 15, 2003Tweet On Dec. 6, 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft informed the Senate Judiciary Committee, “To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty … your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and … give ammunition to America’s enemies.” Some commentators feared that Ashcroft’s statement, which was vetted beforehand by top lawyers at the Justice Department, signaled that this White House would take a far more hostile view towards opponents than did recent presidents. And indeed, some Bush administration policies indicate that Ashcroft’s comment was not a mere throwaway line. When Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up “free speech zones” or “protest zones” where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event. When Bush came to the Pittsburgh area on Labor Day 2002, 65-year-old retired steel worker Bill Neel was there to greet him with a sign proclaiming, “The Bush family must surely love the poor, they made so many of us.” The local police, at the Secret Service’s behest, set up a “designated free-speech zone” on a baseball field surrounded by a chain-link fence a third of a mile from the location of Bush’s speech. The police cleared the path of the motorcade of all critical signs, though folks with pro-Bush signs were permitted to line the president’s path. Neel refused to go to the designated area and was arrested for disorderly conduct; the police also confiscated his sign." } ]

Flag What does the medical abbreviation SARS mean? Answer by Ian Okamoto Confidence votes 3.5KSARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. It is a viral disease caused by the SARS Coronavirus. It's actually a very severe form of pneumonia. Its symptoms resemble influenza, causing things like aches, fever, coughing, sore throat etc. However, it can also cause digestive issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Those symptoms really aren't detrimental, the reason SARS is so dangerous is that it can lead to things like Pulmonary Fibrosis, which is a big deal. SARS is a fairly rare illness, but in 2002 - 2003 there was an outbreak in China which reached nearly Epidemic status. As I said though, SARS is very uncommon nowadays, so it's not a huge thing to worry about.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" }, { "docid": "D283082#0", "title": "http://www.askmefast.com/What_does_ppp_stand_for_texting-qna193228.html\n.", "text": "\"Texting Text Q What does ppp stand for texting?

CRM was developed as a response to new insights into the causes of aircraft accidents which followed from the introduction of flight data recorders (FDRs) and cockpit voice recorders (CVRs) into modern jet aircraft. Information gathered from these devices has suggested that many accidents do not result from a technical malfunction of the aircraft or its systems, nor from a failure of aircraft handling skills or a lack of technical knowledge on the part of the crew; it appears instead that they are caused by the inability of crews to respond appropriately to the situation in which they find themselves. For example, inadequate communications between crew members and other parties could lead to a loss of situational awareness, a breakdown in teamwork in the aircraft, and, ultimately, to a wrong decision or series of decisions which result in a serious incident or a fatal accident . The widespread introduction of the dynamic flight simulator as a training aid allowed various new theories about the causes of aircraft accidents to be studied under experimental conditions. On the basis of these results, and in an attempt to remedy the apparent deficiency in crew skills, additional training in flight deck management techniques has been introduced by most airlines. Following a period of experimentation and development, the techniques embraced by the new training became known collectively as CRM. The importance of the CRM concept and the utility of the training in promoting safer and more efficient aircraft operations have now been recognised worldwide. CRM encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills and attitudes including communications, loss of situational awareness, problem solving, decision making, and teamwork; together with all the attendant sub-disciplines which each of these areas entails. The elements which comprise CRM are not new but have been recognised in one form or another since aviation began, usually under more general headings such as ‘Airmanship’, ‘Captaincy’, ‘Crew Co-operation’, etc." }, { "docid": "D280195#0", "title": "http://www.sportslook.net/top-10-non-european-football-clubs-with-the-highest-average-attendances/\nTop 10 Non-European Football Clubs with the Highest Average Attendances", "text": "Top 10 Non-European Football Clubs with the Highest Average Attendances June 4, 2015 by sourav Das Top 10 Non-European Football Clubs with the Highest Average Attendances Association football, or just football, as it is commonly known, is the most popular and important in all the countries of Europe.

FC Barcelona is a professional association football club based in Barcelona, formed in 1899 by a group of Swiss, English and local players led by Joan Gamper. It has been part of the Spanish top-flight, La Liga, since the league's inception in 1928 and has won La Liga 24 times, along with 28 Copas del Rey and 5 UEFA Champions League victories. The arrival of Ronaldinho in 2003, and Barcelona's subsequent success in La Liga and Champions League, has been seen as crucial to an increase in the national, and worldwide, fan-base of the club. This development of a larger national fan-base has created friction between the Catalan nationalist supporters, who wish to secede from Spain, and the club's other Spanish supporters. There exist four different types of supporters of Barcelona; one is the soci or club-member, who is eligible to vote in the presidential election of the club and other matters. The penyes, who are closely affiliated with the socis, are fan-clubs, which in the past have been responsible for large donations to the club.

Laster and Julie Johnson Table of Contents Major Trends in Family and Consumer Sciences Many forces shape FCS education (Redick, 1998). In addition to new philosophical foundations and knowledge within FCS and education in general, changes in society, families, and schools influence FCS curriculum. Current changes especially affecting the field include the changing characteristics and needs of families, and the movements toward results-oriented learning and seamless transitions from school to work and future learning (Minnesota Department of Children, Families & Learning, 1997). These forces are most influencing the current trends: Practical problem-focused, process-oriented curriculum Teaching for personal and socially responsible action Integrating FCS in educational reform Standards guiding program development and authentic assessment Specialized family-, career-, and community-focused semester courses Helping all students achieve high expectations Practical Problem-Focused, Process-Oriented Curriculum For the past 20 years, a practical problem-focused and process-oriented curriculum has been the basis for curriculum reform and renewal. Since the early 1980s, leaders in FCS have questioned the techni-cal nature of curriculum in FCS. The writings of Marjorie Brown and others stimulated dialogue and reflection about the curriculum in middle and secondary schools (Redick, 1998). Brown's work (1978, 1980) reflected a postmodern worldview in which (1) human relationships are cooperative and equal rather than coercive, individualistic, and patriarchal, (2) the wisdom of all cultures is respected, and (3) natural science is not the sole route to valid knowledge and inquiry (Thomas, 1998a). This worldview reflects a critical-science approach that can be described as practical problem-focused and process-oriented. Although not all states have moved to a critical-science approach, many states have included important processes in their curriculum as a way to resolve practical problems (Smith, 1998). This trend has made teachers more aware of the importance of process-centered curriculum to the learning and achievement of students." }, { "docid": "D2693341#0", "title": "https://www.safefootballtickets.com/liverpool-fc/\nWhere to Buy Liverpool FC Tickets", "text": "Where to Buy Liverpool FC Tickets The aim of this is to give you all the options on where to get Liverpool tickets so you don’t lose money.

The owners, however, wanted a stadium that could host professional football, and hired architect Archibald Leitch to design a new stadium. Stamford Bridge got almost completely rebuilt in 1905, and was subsequently offered to Fulham FC. Fulham turned the offer down though, and newly formed Chelsea FC moved in instead. Stamford Bridge at that time consisted of one covered seating stand and a vast open bowl of terraces covering the other three sides. An estimated 100,000 people could fit into the stadium. Few changes were made until 1930, when new terraces were built at the Shed End, and, nine years later, when a small seating stand was built at the North End. Stamford Bridge recorded its highest attendance in 1935 during a match against Arsenal when a total of 82,905 fans attended the match. In 1965, the terraces of the West Stand were replaced by a new covered seating stand. Redevelopments continued in the mid 1970s when the old main stand was demolished and replaced by the new East Stand." }, { "docid": "D2567107#0", "title": "http://www.cincinnati.com/sports/kentucky-speedway/\nWinless, McMurray still on track for playoff spot", "text": "MORE NEWSsports Paul Daugherty Reds Bengals FC Cincinnati UCXavier Kentucky Speedway Ohio High School Sports Kentucky High School Sports Scores and Stats Cincinnati Sports Awards Golf Auto Racing Winless, Mc Murray still on track for playoff spot Read Story Claude Thompson Cincinnati Kentucky Speedway NASCAR CWTS at Kentucky Speedway July 6, 2017Kentucky Speedway Busch and Keselowski take rivalry to Kentucky Follow Cincinnati.com: Headlines Updated 9:43 p.m. EDTThe Big Page Grid List Sports Marty Brennaman to drive pace car in Quaker State 400Kentucky Speedway Dillon looking forward to second crack at Kentucky Kentucky Speedway Organizational testing at Kentucky Speedway Kentucky Speedway Brad Keselowski talks new Kentucky Speedway Kentucky Speedway NASCAR officials to review lug nut policy after outcry Kentucky Speedway Inside Look: Kentucky Speedway renovation Kentucky Speedway Drivers converge for test at KY Speedway Auto Racing Brad Keselowski press conference, May 31Sports NASCAR honors fallen service members Kentucky Speedway Night racing slated for Ky.

The FBS is the most competitive subdivision of NCAA Division I, which itself consists of the largest and most competitive schools in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). As of the most recently completed 2017 college football season, there are 10 conferences and 130 schools in FBS. College football is very popular throughout much of the United States, and the top schools generate tens of millions of dollars in yearly revenue. [ 1] [2] Top FBS teams draw tens of thousands of fans to games, and the ten largest American stadiums by capacity all host FBS teams. College athletes are not paid, but colleges are allowed to provide players with non-monetary compensation such as athletic scholarships that provide for tuition, housing, and books. Unlike other NCAA divisions and subdivisions, the NCAA does not officially award an FBS football national championship, nor does it sanction a playoff tournament to determine such a champion on the field. Instead, organizations such as the Associated Press and AFCA have historically sought to rank the teams and crown a national champion, by taking a vote of sports writers and coaches, respectively. In place of such a playoff, various cities across the United States hold their own post-season contests, called bowl games, in which they traditionally invite teams to participate in them." }, { "docid": "D2161757#0", "title": "https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006042704917\nLiverpool FC is also known as The Kop.

D. Inducible defenses The constitutive defenses, by themselves, may not be sufficient to protect the host against pathogens. However, even if pathogens evade or overcome the relatively nonspecific constitutive defenses, they may yet be detected and attacked by the more specific inducible defenses, once they have developed. The inducible defenses are so-called because they are induced upon primary exposure to a pathogen or one of its products. The inducible defenses are a function of the immunological system and the immune responses . They must be triggered in a host and initially take time to develop. The type of resistance thus developed in the host is called acquired immunity . Acquired immunity Acquired immunity may be divided into two types based on how it is acquired by the host. In the case of active immunity, the host undergoes an immunological response and produces the cells and factors responsible for the immunity, i.e., the host produces its own antibodies and/or immuno-reactive lymphocytes.

Cisco has been actively participating in the definition of FC-BB-5, and the Cisco Nexus ™ 5000 Series Switches have offered an FCo E implementation since the time the T11 committee released a draft of FC-BB-5 that finalized the FCo E encapsulation (frame format) and data plane aspects. Since then, the T11 committee has focused on the FCo E control plane functions, and specifically on the virtual link establishment and management functions known as FCo E Initialization Protocol (FIP). The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series FCo E implementation could establish point-to-point FCo E links to first-generation converged network adapters (CNAs) without FIP, but FIP is required to build more complex topologies in which FCo E links can map to an Ethernet path that consists of more than one Ethernet link segment. The final revision of FC-BB-5 completed the definition of FIP and was soon followed by Cisco ® NX-OS Software Release 4.1 (3)N1 (1), the first software release for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series that offers FIP capabilities. This document describes FIP as it is defined in FC-BB-5 and shows how FIP and FC-BB-5 map to the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series software implementation. Background Fibre Channel has established itself in the storage industry as the best-performing and most reliable transport for block storage. This role is the result of years of innovation and tuning that have built a solid ecosystem of end-to-end services and tools to satisfy the storage needs of mission-critical applications. FCo E offers the capability to transport Fibre Channel payloads on top of an Ethernet network. FCo E originates from the simple observation that as long as the same ecosystem of end-to-end services and tools remains available, and as long as performance is not affected, users do not have a preference for a physical representation of data on a wire." }, { "docid": "D1404266#0", "title": "https://www.reddit.com/r/NeutralPolitics/comments/3ck1hi/how_neutral_is_factcheckorg/\n.", "text": "\"all 51 commentssorted by: best Want to add to the discussion?

Rajesh K May 11, 2011 Storage In large enterprise companies, main servers have (at least) two adapters – FC HBA (FIber Channel Host Bus Adapter) & Ethernet NIC (Ethernet Network Interface Card) to connect to the storage network (Fiber Channel) and computer network (Ethernet). Converged Network Adapters converge the functionality of both the adapters into one. Read on, to find out more…In the above diagram, both the traditional set up with FC HBA + NIC (and) the new set up with CNA/FCOE are represented. As you can see, with the set up in the first diagram, two separate adapters are required on the server to connect to Ethernet based Computer Network and FC based Storage Network respectively. But the set up in the second diagram requires just one adapter (Converged Network Adapter – CNA) which carries both Ethernet traffic as well as FCOE traffic in a single cable. This cable connects to one of the Ethernet ports in the Converged Switch that has both Ethernet as well as Fiber Channel ports. This Converged Switch converts the FCOE traffic in to Fiber Channel traffic to be sent to the FC SAN over the Fiber Channel Network.

Fibre Channel, or FC, is the underpinning of all SAN technologies these days, as it won the protocol war roughly 25 years ago. FC wouldn't be much use without something on top of it, namely SCSI. FC is the low-level transport that ships data, but hosts are normally communicating via SCSI as far as they're concerned. The hubs, switches and HBAs in a SAN all speak FC, while the applications that use SAN storage continue to use familiar protocols, like SCSI. The idea behind FC was to create a high throughput, low latency, reliable and scalable protocol. Ethernet wouldn't quite cut it for highly-available storage needs.

Presidential power has always been controversial. Congress and the Judiciary have clashed with both Bush and Clinton administrations over matters of executive privilege, impeachment, and the war on terror. Almost all modern presidents have moved to expand their power. So it is an even bet that given the foreign policy challenges of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and North Korea—not to mention the disruptions to the domestic economy of the credit crisis—Barack Obama will soon be drawing on the well of executive power every bit as deeply as his predecessors have. But critics have recently insisted that it is unconstitutional for a President to make war policy without consulting Congress first, despite the Commander in Chief role assigned to that office by the Constitution. Others, critical of what they believe to be excessive secrecy, suggest that military and intelligence agencies ought to report jointly to Congress, not just to the President, as they do today. Presidents, they say, should generally refrain from acting unless they have obtained the express permission of Congress and the courts. American history and law provides little support for this view. The Presidency’s role in war, national security, and policy both foreign and domestic has only increased ever since the founding of the nation." }, { "docid": "D3295044#0", "title": "http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(17)36180-2/fulltext\nCost Effectiveness of Age-Specific Screening Intervals for People With Family Histories of Colorectal Cancer", "text": "Cost Effectiveness of Age-Specific Screening Intervals for People With Family Histories of Colorectal Cancer Steffie K.

However, no screening recommendations specify less frequent screening with increasing age. We aimed to determine whether such a refinement would be cost effective. Methods We determined the relative risk for CRC for individuals based on age and number of affected first-degree relatives (FDRs) using data from publications. For each number of affected FDRs, we used the Microsimulation Screening Analysis model to estimate costs and effects of colonoscopy screening strategies with different age ranges and intervals. Screening was then optimized sequentially, starting with the youngest age group, and allowing the interval of screening to change at certain ages. Strategies with an incremental cost effectiveness ratio below $100,000 per quality-adjusted life year were considered cost effective. Results For people with 1 affected FDR (92% of those with a family history), screening every 3 years beginning at an age of 40 years is most cost effective. If no adenomas are found, the screening interval can gradually be extended to 5 and 7 years, at ages 45 and 55 years, respectively. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, individuals with more affected FDRs should start screening earlier and at shorter intervals." }, { "docid": "D1350594#0", "title": "http://www.thetoptens.com/best-president-of-the-us/\nBest Presidents of the United States", "text": "\"Best Presidents of the United Stateswideup The Top Ten1 Abraham Lincoln (16)Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865 .

If you are a waged or salaried employee, half of the payroll tax - 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare - is automatically withheld from each paycheck, and your employer contributes the other half. If you are self-employed, you are responsible for the entire amount (12.4% for Social Security plus 2.9% for Medicare), but you can generally deduct half of the FICA tax on your federal income tax return. There is no income cap (or wage base limit) for the Medicare portion of the tax, meaning you continue to owe your half of the 2.9% tax on all wages earned for the year. The Social Security tax, however, has a wage base limit - the maximum wage that is subject to the tax for that year. For earnings in 2014, the wage base is $117,000. That means up to $7,254 can be withheld from your paycheck for Social Security taxes - but not more, regardless of how much you earned.

Did the Democrats and Republicans “Switch Parties”? The American political parties, now called Democrats and Republicans, switched platform planks, ideologies, and members many times in American history. These switches were typically spurred on by major legislative changes and events, such as the Civil War in the 1860’s, and Civil Rights in the 1960’s. The changes then unfolded over the course of decades to create what historians call the “ Party Systems “. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]Bottomline: The parties changed over time as platform planks, party leaders, factions, and voter bases essentially switched between parties. Third parties aside, the Democratic Party used to be favored in the rural south and had a “small government” platform (which southern social conservatives embraced), and the Republican party used to be favored in the citied north and had a “big government” platform (which northern progressive liberals embraced). Today it is the opposite in many respects.

Explanation: At the time, America was going through the Great Depression and people had lost all of their life's savings in seconds. This made citizens scared about their future and the country - they felt unsupported by the government and let down by the banks (which had crashed). When FDR said his famous line, he was trying to restore order and trust. He launched his New Deal campaign and part of this was to get citizens trusting banks again so that they could become functional. By panicking, America would get nothing done. FDR wanted everyone to get up, get back to work and get back on track. The first step to this was calming everyone down. The biggest hurdle they would have to jump on the way to recovery was people's fear - which is why FDR said that fear was the only thing you should fear, or worry about." }, { "docid": "D406961#0", "title": "http://www.history.com/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-franklin-d-roosevelt\n9 Things You May Not Know About Franklin D.

Print Cite Explore some surprising facts about the man who steered the United States through two of its greatest crises: the Great Depression and World War II.1. Roosevelt was distantly related to both his wife and 11 other presidents. An only child with maternal roots dating back to the Mayflower, Franklin D. Roosevelt spent a privileged childhood in Hyde Park, New York, prior to attending an elite Massachusetts boarding school. He then enrolled in Harvard College, where he began courting another Roosevelt, Anna Eleanor, his fifth cousin once removed as well as the niece (and goddaughter) of his fifth cousin, then-President Theodore Roosevelt, whom FDR greatly admired. When the couple married in 1905, Theodore Roosevelt took a break from his White House duties to give Eleanor away in lieu of her deceased father. “ Well, Franklin,” the president purportedly exclaimed at the wedding, “there’s nothing like keeping the name in the family.” Though Theodore was his closest relative to head the country, FDR claimed to have traced his family tree to 10 other presidents as well.2. He had little love for the law. After Harvard, FDR went on to Columbia Law School, where he promptly flunked contracts and civil procedure and had to make up the classes over the summer. “" }, { "docid": "D3407684#0", "title": "http://philmontlibrary.com/\n.", "text": "Welcome to our Library Welcome to the website of the Philmont Public Library.

To start, it may be helpful to understand the different “parts” of Medicare and how they work together. The Medicare program has four separate components: Part A (hospital insurance)Part B (medical insurance)Part C (Medicare Advantage)Part D (prescription drug coverage)Original Medicare (made up of Part A and Part B) is administered by the federal government, while Part C and Part D coverage is available through private insurance companies like Wellcare, which contract with the Medicare program to offer Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans and stand-alone Wellcare Medicare Prescription Drug Plans. Here’s an overview of how each of these types of Medicare coverage works and Wellcare Medicare plans that you may be eligible for. Wellcare Medicare plans with coverage for prescription drugs Wellcare Medicare plans with prescription drug coverage may be available in your area. As a Medicare beneficiary, you’re eligible for Part D coverage if: You have Medicare Part A and/or Part B. You live in the service area of a Medicare plan that offers prescription drug coverage. There are several ways to get your Wellcare Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage, depending on whether you’re enrolled in Original Medicare or Medicare Part C. This includes Wellcare Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, which are stand-alone plans that work alongside Original Medicare, as well as Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans, which include your Part A, Part B, and Part D benefits under a single plan. If you decide to stay with Original Medicare and get your Part D coverage with a stand-alone Wellcare Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, keep in mind that these plans are designed to supplement your coverage under Original Medicare and generally cannot be combined with Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans that may include prescription drug coverage, such as Health Maintenance Organization (or HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organization* (or PPOs). If you’re enrolled in Medicare Part C, you should get your prescription drug coverage through your Medicare Advantage plan (if available), and not through a stand-alone plan. In fact, if you enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan when you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan, you’ll be automatically disenrolled from your Medicare Advantage plan and returned to Original Medicare." }, { "docid": "D687719#0", "title": "http://www.illuminatirex.com/illuminati-symbol-great-seal-one-dollar-bill/\nThe Illuminati Symbol, the Great Seal and the One Dollar Bill", "text": "The Illuminati Symbol, the Great Seal and the One Dollar Bill Reverse of Great Seal as seen on the one dollar bill The all-seeing eye floating in over an unfinished pyramid is the most widely recognized symbol of the Illuminati.

Supreme Court might undo his accomplishments. ( Jose Fuste Raga / Corbis)By William E. Leuchtenburg Smithsonian Magazine | Subscribe May 200516 3 0 9 1.3KAs the first election returns reached his family estate in Hyde Park, New York, on a November night in 1936, Franklin Delano Roosevelt leaned back in his wheelchair, his signature cigarette holder at a cocky angle, blew a smoke ring and cried “Wow!” His huge margin in New Haven signaled that he was being swept into a second term in the White House with the largest popular vote in history at the time and the best showing in the electoral college since James Monroe ran unopposed in 1820. The outpouring of millions of ballots for the Democratic ticket reflected the enormous admiration for what FDR had achieved in less than four years. He had been inaugurated in March 1933 during perilous times—one-third of the workforce jobless, industry all but paralyzed, farmers desperate, most of the banks shut down—and in his first 100 days he had put through a series of measures that lifted the nation’s spirits. In 1933 workers and businessmen marched in spectacular parades to demonstrate their support for the National Recovery Administration (NRA), Roosevelt’s agency for industrial mobilization, symbolized by its emblem, the blue eagle. Farmers were grateful for government subsidies dispensed by the newly created Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA). Over the ensuing three years, the cavalcade of alphabet agencies had continued: SEC (the Securities and Exchange Commission); REA (the Rural Electrification Administration) and a good many more. The NYA (National Youth Administration) had permitted college students, such as the future playwright Arthur Miller, to work their way through college. The WPA (Works Progress Administration) had sustained millions of Americans, including artists such as Jackson Pollock and writers such as John Cheever." }, { "docid": "D600897#0", "title": "https://medicare.healthpartnersplans.com/medicare-fdr-information\nMedicare FDR Information", "text": "print pageemail page Home Medicare FDR Information Medicare FDR Information Thank you for your partnership with Health Partners Plans (HPP) to help us provide exceptional service to our Medicare members.

According to White House Museum.org, “the president’s pool was a modern-day showcase of technology, featuring underwater lighting, sterilizers and the latest gadgets.” Roosevelt swam in it almost daily, as did President Truman and President Kennedy. But President Nixon was a fan of bowling, not swimming, and he drained the pool in 1970 to make way for modern press offices. Up until this point there was no space officially designed for press briefings; interviews used to occur throughout the hallways and working offices of the White House.

This is probably the question I am most frequently asked in regards to eyebrow cosmetic tattoo – and one which does require some explanation, as in my own opinion, there is no one method which is superior to another – different method of application achieve different looks, and are suitable for different faces. Below is an explanation of both thehair stroke/feathering method of cosmetic tattoo (also referred to as eyebrow embroidery) and the powder fill/solid fill technique (also referred to as block method)The hair stroke method has become incredibly popular in recent years, I think in some part due to the trend for thick yet bushy and natural looking brows that seem to be on all the catwalks at the moment. A very natural, lifelike looking brow can be created using the hair stroke method, which essentially is using the tattoo needle to create lots of little hair like impressions by implanting pigment in a line under the skin. The advantages are that it does look very natural, like real hair. It is perfect for people that already have quite good hair coverage, and for those who want to fill out gaps in their eyebrows where hair is missing, because the strokes can be made to mimic the natural hair present in colour, thickness and angle. In younger skin, it can even work very well for creating a complete brow where little to no hair exists. Cosmetic Tattoo Hair stroke/feathering method only However, it generally does not last as long as long as thepowder fill technique– this is because the action of ‘stroking’ the needle through the skin to create a ‘hair like’ mark does not actually implant the pigment as deeply as the powder fill method. It usually needs to be retouched more frequently than the powder fill method, as it fades more quickly (particular hair stroke brows done in lighter colours). So if for you, the most important factor in your cosmetic tattoo treatment is longevity, I would probably not opt for the hair stroke technique alone." }, { "docid": "D759650#0", "title": "http://www.tattooeasily.com/40-spectacular-wrist-tattoo-designs/\n88 Remarkable Wrist Tattoo Designs", "text": "Tattoo Ideas88 Remarkable Wrist Tattoo Designs Although our wrists may not be the biggest part of our bodies, they are often one of the most seen areas.

Credit: herval CC-BY-2.0Full Answer Butterflies go through significant physical changes during their life cycles, and that is where the transformation elements comes in. Acceptance and faith are associated with the butterfly because the insect does not question or try to fight against its metamorphosis. It simply accepts that this is what must happen and gets the reward of being a beautiful flying insect at the end.

It is a universal fact that a bird's song heralds the bounty of new opportunities and possibilities that the coming day brings. On some subconscious level, we look forward to hearing the first whistles and clicks because they energize us, even if only to a small extent. Throughout history, humanity has been obsessed with birds. They represent a variety of traits that we, humans, aspire to achieve and incorporate into our daily lives. Although the characteristics embodied by each species of avian is vastly different, all birds speak to the most coveted trait - the desire to be free. Humanity's earliest inventors were inspired to take flight simply because they were envious of the birds' ability to move uninhibited across the sky. Abbas Ibn Firnas, the first human to attempt flight, adorned himself with a contraption made of feathers and other accoutrements and jumped from the top of the tallest building in his home town. Abbas was somewhat successful, managing to glide for a short distance before crashing to the ground.

Fed RAMP was created to support the government’s cloud computing plan. The program is intended to facilitate the adoption of cloud computing services among federal agencies by providing cloud service providers (CSPs) with a single accreditation that could be used by all agencies. The goal of Fed RAMP is to reduce the time and money that individual agencies would otherwise have to spend on assessing a cloud provider's security. Certifications are based on a unified risk management process that includes security requirements agreed upon by the federal departments and agencies. Although the Fed RAMP certification process is quite intensive, qualified CSPs are eligible to work with government agencies, and non-government customers may be more confident in a certified CSP’s approach to security.

While the plot focuses on the trials of immigrant industrial workers, the novel gives us an understanding of the role of labor in early industrial society and the government’s support of big business. Sinclair paints an interesting picture of the progress of organized labor and the political power of business in American society. The Jungle is a valuable tool to anyone interested in the current issues of immigration, industrialization, organized labor, and government regulation of the economy for it shows us from whence we came. Through its exposure of the worst characteristics of industrial society, its depiction of a specific era in American history, and its use of literary elements to inform the reader, it can be used in World history or American history classes, or in English classes that study the novel as a genre. ABOUT THIS BOOK In 1904, Upton Sinclair received a five hundred dollar advance from the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason to investigate the living and working conditions for immigrant industrial workers in Chicago. The Jungle, originally serialized by the newspaper, was published in book form in 1906. Sinclair’s purpose was to expose the inhumane treatment of the working class and to precipitate change in American industry. Instead, his graphic and nauseating descriptions of the meat packing industry led to passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act that had been stalled in Congress. Sinclair was less than ecstatic about this result, saying “I aimed at the public’s heart and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”" }, { "docid": "D1095099#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-does-your-last-name-mean-and-where-does-it-come-from\nWhat does your last name mean and where does it come from?", "text": "\"Given Names Surnames Etymology Names and Naming Quora Community Survey Question What does your last name mean and where does it come from?

Just in time for the Holiday season, this is a perfect gift, and one of the most polished adventure titles ever made. Like critical faves like Grim Fandango, this game does more than just recreate the nostalgic experience of old school adventure gaming, it actually reinvents how stories can be told in the medium, and gives us a glimpse of what we can expect in the years to come. As April Ryan, you're the average art student in the future, recently transported to the big city in order to pursue your art career. You've got a great life -- good friends, a nice room at a boarding house, and a good job at the local caf¿. And you have dreams. Lot of weird, vibrant, too-real-to-not-be-real dreams about dragons, the destruction of the world, and your future. In the course of this long adventure you'll begin to take part in a journey over two parallel worlds, one of technology, the other of magic, and find your ultimate place in bringing the two worlds back together. Like any good adventure game, there's tons of story involved, as well as a multitude of characters and creatures to interact with along the way." }, { "docid": "D2813301#0", "title": "http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/16865/\nDavid Bowie â Ashes to Ashes", "text": "\"David Bowie – Ashes to Ashes122 Comments 2 Tags\"\"Ashes to Ashes\"\" as written by and David Bowie....

Jesus, guys, I'd expect this from the Linkin Park pages but this is one song that desperately needs reading closely to find any meaning. I think saying the song's about drugs is certainly selling it short a little bit, in the same way saying Space Oddity is about a fella in a rocket isn't giving that justice, either. There's a lot of references towards drugs, to be sure, but I think that's intended more as a backdrop for the lyrics than the meaning itself. Bowie has said this song was primarily about \"\"wrapping up the seventies really for myself... [it] seemed a good enough epitaph for it\"\". So it's a dirge, really, for all of Bowie's career up to 1980, and a look forward to his (then hopeful) career from then on in. I think to see that meaning, the central parts you need to look at are, well, first the beginning - \"\"do you remember a guy/in such an early song\"\", which from the start sets the meaning as looking back to Bowie's early career. The self-reflexivity of the song from the very beginning mean we're looking at the song as being about Bowie writing about himself. So it's very nostalgic." }, { "docid": "D1623029#0", "title": "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041514/reviews\nUser Reviews", "text": "\"It Happens Every Spring (1949)User Reviews Review this title35 Reviews Hide Spoilers Sort by:9 /10The Strange Case of Professor Simpsonclydestuff 3 April 2004There have been many pitchers in Major League Baseball who were quite adept at doctoring a baseball. Some, such as Gaylord Perry and Burleigh Grimes, were known to add a little saliva or in Perry's case perhaps a little Vaseline. Doing this would cause the ball to suddenly drop when reaching home plate as if the bottom had fallen out of it. Then there was Whitey Ford, who was said to be able to put a few nicks or scratches in the old cowhide causing the laced sphere to do some mighty strange things. None of these players comes close to being as interesting as baseball legend Professor Vernon Simpson. Professor Simpson was a chemistry professor at a Midwestern college. He was in love with the Dean's daughter, Deborah Greenleaf and hoped that someday they would be married. College professor's salaries being what they were in the late forties, his only hope of being able to financially support Miss Greenleaf depended on an experiment he had devised that would someday change the world. Like all normal American men of his day, Vernon was also known to get caught up in the Rite of Spring better described as the opening of the baseball season.

In a series of paintings by Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and André Derain (1880-1954), completed in the small town outside of Paris, there is a new conception of light that separated colors, allowing the white canvas to glow through. Clearly borrowed from Paul Cézanne, the unexpected source of light was combined with a renewal of subjectivity after the “objectivity” of Impressionism and from what Matisse understood to be the “agitation” of Impressionist surfaces. From Impressionism, the Fauve artists borrowed the negation of shadows by substituting intense color for darkness. The resulting luminous shadows, that were non-shadows, eliminated the academic division of tones. Although Edouard Manet had long since done away with demi-teints, the Fauve artists presented a new and purified form of color painting, based on a light created through contrasts of hue, not of tone. Formally speaking, the result was a highly colored assertive surface, organized as a graphic design with strongly contrasting areas of color. The artists established areas and zones of sometime dissonant color which was, suddenly, newly important. As Derain, who was at Collioure with Matisse stated in a letter to Vlaminck,We are about to embark on a new phase. Without partaking of the abstraction apparent in van gogh’s canvases, abstraction which I don’t dispute, I believe that lines and colors are intimately related and enjoy a parallel existence from the very start, allowing us to embark on a great independent and unbounded existence…Thus we may find a field, not novel, but more real, and, above all, simpler in its synthesis…Impressionist harmonies and the uniformity of facture, or the artist’s touch and the texture of the surface, were eliminated in favor of deliberate disharmonies of style and color." }, { "docid": "D2086182#0", "title": "http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/switchfoot/only_hope.html\nOnly Hope lyrics", "text": "\"Switchfoot –Only Hope lyrics3 meanings 1 explanation New!

The nominal star is Seth Green as Joe, a teenage Jewish boy, growing up with a house full of relatives in Brooklyn. Allen cuts between Joe's working class neighborhood of Rockaway Beach, Queens, and the glittery and glamorous world of radio in Manhattan. Joe's favorite radio hero is The Masked Avenger (Wallace Shawn), and he dreams of getting The Masked Avenger Secret Decoder Ring. Using all the money they have collected for Israel, Joe and his friends buy the ring, much to the shock of his mother (Julie Kavner) and the local rabbi. His father (Michael Tucker), a business failure embarrassed to be seen driving a taxi, is an ineffective and distant man. His uncle Abe (Josh Mostel) is obsessed with eating. His Aunt Bea (Dianne Wiest) is obsessed with getting married.

Nothing has changed the way we live our daily lives on such a grand scale as the car, with the possible exception of the mobile phone. Today, car culture is defined by European manufacturers.

The poems \"\"Half-Past Two\"\" and \"\"Hide and seek\"\", present the perspective of a child and his life and will be explored in depth. The other three poems \"\"Piano\"\", \"\"Poem at thirty nine\"\" and \"\"Once Upon a Time\"\", state that an adult is feeling nostalgic, remembering his childhood. Whereas the poem \"\"Mother in a Refugee Camp\"\" is about a tragic life of a mother who lost her child. The first poem is by U. A. Fanthorpe, the writer of \"\"Half-past two\"\". The poem is spoken from the overview of an older man casting back on the moment in his infantile when he had a precise concept of time. The writer uses complex words to convey the child’s concept of time beforehand his teacher stated him to stay \"\"till half-past two\"\", and this gives the influence that the child cannot ‘click’ the \"\"language\"\" of time.

Most often, the workpiece is cylindrical, but using a 4-jaw chuck you can face rectangular or odd-shaped work to form cubes and other non-cylindrical shapes. When a lathe cutting tool removes metal it applies considerable tangential (i.e. lateral or sideways) force to the workpiece. To safely perform a facing operation the end of the workpiece must be positioned close to the jaws of the chuck. The workpiece should not extend more than 2-3 times its diameter from the chuck jaws unless a steady rest is used to support the free end. Cutting Speeds If you read many books on machining you will find a lot of information about the correct cutting speed for the movement of the cutting tool in relation to the workpiece. You must consider the rotational speed of the workpiece and the movement of the tool relative to the workpiece. Basically, the softer the metal the faster the cutting. Don't worry too much about determining the correct cutting speed: working with the 7x lathes for hobby purposes, you will quickly develop a feel for how fast you should go. Until you get a feel for the proper speeds, start with relatively low speeds and work up to faster speeds." }, { "docid": "D1711682#0", "title": "http://www.larrydmarshall.com/whats-the-best-mechanical-pencil-for-sketching/\nWhatâs The Best Mechanical Pencil For Sketching?", "text": "What’s The Best Mechanical Pencil For Sketching?

There are too many personal choices involved in the answer, including how the pen feels in your hand, whether the eraser fits your use of it, price, availability, and the most important attribute of all – color. But I think we ignore our mechanical pencils, using them day after day without thinking about whether there is a better/different one that would provide different results. At the same time, we burn endless amounts of time, energy and ink talking about sketchbooks, pens, and even the containers we use to carry our stuff. Why not our pencils? I thought it time to talk just a bit about the mechanical pencil when used by a sketcher. First, a couple of caveats. I’m a sketcher who shuns the great modern wisdom that anyone who uses pencils in advance of their ink drawing is a sissy.

You attach the positive side of the current to your piece, and the negative side to a piece of the same metal. When the electricity flows, it causes metal from your piece to flow through the solution toward the metal on the negative side. The more metal in the solution, the faster your piece will etch. I originally learned the process of electrolytic etching back in early 2009 in a class taught by David S. Dowling, who does some amazing work. Since then I have etched numerous pieces, including bookmarks, bracelets, rings and other jewelry. Through experience and trial and error, I’ve come up with a detailed process that gives me a perfect etch almost every time. Electrolytic etching uses mostly safe chemicals, and electricity. You don’t really need respirators or fancy gear to do this process, although it is a good idea to wear rubber gloves, eye protection, and protect your clothing.

The term “clarity characteristic” refers to the inclusions within a diamond which are the basis for the clarity grade assigned to the diamond. This section of our web site is intended to be used as a way for you to become more familiar with the basic types of inclusions which may be present within a diamond. The examples are intended to be just that “examples” and are not absolute indications of what each inclusion type may look like because each inclusion type may take on many different forms and still be a basic type of inclusion. Be sure to review our page on Degrees of Magnification before reading this page so that you have a basis as to the degrees of magnification that were used to capture the images displayed within this article. Note that most gemological laboratories only indicate the primary inclusions which are considered to be the basis for the clarity grade and do not attempt to indicate all of the inclusions within the diamond, thus it is common to see comments like “additional pinpoints (or clouds) not shown” under the “Comments” section of the lab report. The comment “additional pinpoints (or clouds) not shown” simply means that there may be small pinpoint size diamond crystals or groups of pinpoint size diamond crystals (this formation is known as a cloud) present within the diamond which are not indicated on the plotting diagram by a symbol indicating that inclusion type or location.

The simple brake job became complicated. The wheels flopped around, especially the rear wheels. Sure, the car is rough but the mileage is low and quite a bit of service had been done previously, so we were surprised to find sloppy bearings.

A basic woodturning kit includes anywhere from 5-8 tools, each with their own unique characteristics.

For more information on using the lathe and lathe safety, check out Make: magazine’s writeup on Understanding the Lathe. A Basic Kit I recommend that a beginner start by getting a fairly modest chisel kit, learn how to use them, and then slowly add other tools to their collection. You can get most of the results you’re looking for with a kit of around five or six tools.

We also looked into Ikea butcher block counters, but when we thought of the wide plank style we came up with the idea of making them ourselves.

Use the same measurements for the oak except add on 1 1/2″ on the sides for your counter top overhang, now cut the oak boards to those measurements. We used two different widths of red oak boards for variety. Some of them we even ripped down to 7″ wide to fit better. This all depends on personal preference and cabinet depth. Once you have all your boards cut to size you can sand the corners and edges like we did to add that worn plank look. ( this is optional) Make sure not to sand the front corners and edge of that front board since you will be attaching the trim to the front and you want it to be as flush as possible!

It simply means a relationship intervention that will help correct some issues which are leading to an unhealthy connection. While there are many issues which interventionists and therapists must address, there are four main areas in any relationship which these can, and do fall under. Relationship interventionists and therapists must select the most critical parts of a relationship which are not working for the couple before they can maximize the help they can provide the couple. The interventionists and therapists use the intake assessment, interaction, and intuition when selecting which skills to use during a life intervention and subsequent therapy. Relationship Intervention Starts with Communication Skills One of the most difficult and crucial parts of staging an intervention is when a couple cant or wont communicate without fighting or anger. The first stage of an intervention with the outcome of treatment is to teach them to use discipline, actively communicate, and utilize time to cool off and think before tackling a big problem. It makes much more sense to teach a couple active communication skills such as active listening and time-out sessions until they become second nature. Once these are in place, they can then apply them to the four main areas in the relationship which need work. Inventory the Relationship When intervening in a relationship, the first place interventionists and therapists start is by having the couple take inventory of what they appreciate, both past and present, about their partner and the relationship." }, { "docid": "D280047#0", "title": "http://www.dictionary.com/browse/facility\nfacility", "text": "\"facility [f uh - sil -i-tee]Spell Syllables Examples Word Origin See more synonyms on Thesaurus.comnoun, plural facilities.1.

Expressions and constructions carrying presuppositions are called “presupposition triggers”, forming a large class including definites and factive verbs. The article first introduces the range of triggers, the basic properties of presuppositions such as projection and cancellability, and the diagnostic tests used to identify them. The reader is then introduced to major models of presupposition from the last 50 years, separated into three classes: Frege-Strawson derived semantic models, pragmatic models such as that offered by Stalnaker, and dynamic models. Finally we discuss some of the main current issues in presupposition theory. These involve accommodation, which occurs when a hearer's knowledge state is adjusted to meet the speaker's presuppositions; presupposition failure, which occurs when a presupposition is (known to be) false; the interaction between presuppositions and attitudes; and the triggering problem, i.e., the problem of explaining why presuppositions occur in the first place.1.

Just as the recreational fishing season was about to open Saturday, the Maryland Department of the Environment announced that, thanks to a significant decline in the levels of contaminants found in fish samples, it is now safe for adults to eat more of the Maryland state fish, also known as rockfish. Moreover, women of childbearing years and children — who had been told to steer clear or eat a little bit of certain stripers — can now dig in. While eating what you catch is especially rewarding for the soggy sportsmen who have spent the day bouncing around in a boat, the news is also welcome to landlubbers whose primary contact with rockfish comes at the dinner table. The texture, flavor and moisture of the flesh of this fish is a culinary delight, a local treasure. Specifically, adults are now advised they can enjoy an 8-ounce serving three times a month from Chesapeake Bay rockfish shorter than 28 inches, or an 8-ounce portion from a fish longer than 28 inches once a month. Children can eat two 3-ounce portions from the smaller fish or one portion every other month from the larger fish. Why does size matter? Larger fish tend to accumulate higher levels of contaminants than smaller fish. The new guidelines represent a jump in recommended portion size, depending on the length of the fish, of 25 percent to 50 percent over the 2007 guidelines." }, { "docid": "D772653#0", "title": "https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/14488/what-does-it-mean-to-be-on-a-short-list\nWhat does it mean to be on a short list?", "text": "\"_Academia Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for academics and those enrolled in higher education.

Bio & 68 Articles | Kristen in London I’m hot on the trend here in England for nose-to-tail eating. The idea behind this rather felicitous phrase is that if we’re going to kill animals to eat them, we should eat ALL of them. The theory itself was introduced to British life by the brilliant restaurateur, chef and author Fergus Henderson, of St John’s Restaurant here in London. For Henderson, it’s all about the pig and eating every little bit of him, but there’s no reason the notion can’t be applied to any animal. It’s just too bad that the term for all the parts of the animal that Americans don’t want to eat is “ offal .” Liver, kidneys, sweetbreads, hearts: the butchering term simply means any part of the animal that is interior, inside other parts. And my new hands-down favorite: beef cheeks. Sadly I cannot give you a photograph of this dish because like so many of my homely, cozy, slow-cooked dishes, it is just awful to look at.

There are also factors that can aggravate a DWI to the point that it becomes a first degree DWI if the current offense. Two of those factors are: the current offense is within ten years of a prior impaired driving incident or an individual has been convicted of a felony DWI in the past. Even if it is a first offense or second offense, having one of these factors present or having a blood alcohol concentration of .20 and/or having a minor in the vehicle can aggravate the offense and make it a first degree DWI. However, unlike non-felony DWI crimes, aggravating factors cannot further aggravate what is already a first degree DWI. If you have been charged with first degree DWI, it is important to secure the representation of a St. Paul DWI lawyer to fight the charges. Although the charge may be a first degree DWI, it is possible to have the charges reduced. If the circumstances are right, it is even possible to have a DWI charge dismissed. FIGHTING FIRST DEGREE DWI PENALTIESA person who is convicted of first degree DWI in Minnesota may be sentenced to any of the following: Imprisonment for up to seven years, which can be more than seven years if there is a prior criminal history A fine of up to $14,000Both A person sentenced to prison for first degree DWI is not eligible for early release unless they have successfully completed chemical dependency treatment. The court must order that the felony DWI offender be placed on conditional release for a five year period." } ]

That, she told Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies, was why she had left her car and walked to a nearby Publix Super Market on Thursday after a crash in which she is alleged to have driven the wrong way down a one-way street and hit a car. Deputies weren’t impressed, especially when one caught up with her picking up a bottle of wine. They arrested her on charges of DUI with property damage and leaving the scene of an accident. She was released later that day from the Palm Beach County Jail after on $3,000 bond. Every year, impaired motorists cost U. S. taxpayers an estimated $51 billion dollars in drunk driving property damage. With such staggering statistics, it’s no surprise that lawmakers are under enormous pressure to deter citizens from driving under the influence (DUI). Unfortunately for the thousands of drivers who are arrested for DUI each day, this means that a drunk driving conviction often carries a number of harsh penalties—including fines, a license suspension, and even jail time. It is important to know that if you are involved in an alcohol-related auto accident, you will be responsible for any property damage that was caused by the collision. As a result of this liability, you may face both criminal and civil charges for drunk driving." }, { "docid": "D624199#0", "title": "http://www.queensdefense.com/newyorkcitydwi/\nNew York City Driving While Intoxicated or Impaired (DWI) Cases", "text": "\"New York City Driving While Intoxicated or Impaired (DWI) Cases Driving While Intoxicated is a crime in New York that creates a number of issues and difficulties for people who are accused. Driving While Intoxicated, or DWI cases in New York City can range in seriousness and complexity from something that can be dealt with in relatively short order without significant inconvenience to full blown felony charges carrying potential long term state prison sentences. Trials of Driving While Intoxicated cases can, under some circumstances, be among the most specialized and complex, expert driven trials or a comparatively far simpler trial essentially boiling down to a determination of who was driving the car in question. In order to know where your New York Driving While Intoxicated case fits in the grand scheme of driving while intoxicated cases, you ought to consult a New York criminal defense lawyer with experience in the area of driving while intoxicated cases. In the New York Metropolitan Area, Driving While Intoxicated Cases create a number of problems beyond the obvious problem of being accused of a crime Some of these problems can even require retaining counsel separately from the criminal case itself. For example, if you are arrested for Driving While Intoxicated in New York City or Nassau County or Westchester or Putnam County you could face the following additional problems: Commercial Drivers (CDL Holders) Beware!If you hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) and you are accused of any driving while intoxicated offense, you are in extremely serious trouble with respect to your ability to use your CDL. The penalties for conviction of a DWI related offense for CDL holders are extreme and potentially devastating. Do not assume that the same rules involving suspensions and conditional licenses apply to you because they don't. Refusal Hearing If the police claim that you refused to take a breath or blood test, then the Department of Motor Vehicles will be holding a hearing SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT FROM THE CRIMINAL CASE that could result in your license being revoked for one year (changed from six months).

Probation in Texas is one of the two forms of “community supervision” authorized by law. Community supervision consists of programs, sanctions, and conditions set forth by a court that a person has to meet as an alternative to jail or prison. Community supervision (formerly called adult probation) may be ordered for misdemeanor or felony offenses and is generally imposed in lieu of a jail or prison sentence. A person receives probation or is placed on community supervision in Texas after a plea of guilty and a finding of guilt and the person is ordered to comply with the conditions of community supervision instead of receiving a jail or prison sentence. How long can you be on probation in Texas? A misdemeanor punishable by jail can be probated for up to two years. A felony can generally be probated for up to ten years. Early Release from Probation in Texas A judge may release a person from probation early for most cases at 1/3 time when it is in the best interest of society and the probationer." }, { "docid": "D624198#0", "title": "http://www.dwiguy.com/difference-dwidui-new-york/\nDifference Between DWI/DUI in New York", "text": "Almost everyone has heard the terms “drunk driving,” DWI, and DUI, and many think that all three are interchangeable. In fact, many New York drivers may not know there are key differences between a DWI and DUI. “ Drunk driving” is a general, non-legal term used to describe any number of driving while intoxicated situations, including driving while impaired, driving while intoxicated, or even driving under the influence of drugs. Generally, a DWI refers to when a driver is intoxicated; that is, when his or her blood alcohol content level (BAC) is at the legal limit (0.08 percent) or higher. A DUI generally refers to a driver who is “buzzed” (has a BAC lower than 0.08 percent), intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs. DUI and “drunk driving” can be used as general terms interchangeably. Though DUI is a common legal term used by many states, New York does not actually use the term. In New York, there are two main “drunk driving” charges: DWI and DWAI. DWI stands for “driving while intoxicated,” while DWAI stands for “driving while ability impaired.” There are some major differences between a DWI and a DWAI." }, { "docid": "D3224994#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_expunge_a_dwi_felony_in_ny\nWhat felonies can be expunged?", "text": "Bob811 128,607 Contributions What felonies can be expunged?

Authorities are actively looking for people who violate the law, and many drivers are surprised to learn that they can be accused of driving while intoxicated (DWI) even after only a few drinks. In some cases, drivers may be arrested for a DWI even if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is below the limit that the law defines as “intoxicated. ”Fortunately, there are often a number of ways in which a Texas DWI defense lawyer can help reduce the consequences you may be facing if you are accused of drunk driving. In some cases, an attorney may even be able to have the case against you dismissed or dropped by the state. What is driving while intoxicated under Texas Law? While drunk or drugged driving is illegal across the United States, each state has specific laws defining the offense and its associated legal penalties. In Texas, the general drunk driving law is found in Texas Penal Code Title 10, Chapter 49. The statute defines the term “intoxicated” in two distinct ways: Not having the normal use of your mental and physical faculties due to the consumption of drugs or alcohol; and/or Having a BAC of .08 percent or more." }, { "docid": "D3104308#0", "title": "https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/is-dui-cinviction-a-felony-or-misdemeanor-in-ga-46513.html\nIs dui cinviction a felony or misdemeanor in ga", "text": "\"Q&AAsked in Atlanta, GA | February 22, 2009 Save Is dui cinviction a felony or misdemeanor in ganeed to know to answer criminal record question More DUI DUI as a criminal offense Imprisonment for DUI Show 17 more Ask a lawyer - it's free!

You would need to provide detailed information about your particular circumstances in order for an attorney to advise you or simply look at your sentencing sheet (s) if you still have them. If you do not have said sentencign documents, I suggest contacting the attorney who represented you in the proceeding and ask him.

I still think this is a good idea, but the plain fact of the matter is, I now believe, that the sentencing rules in New York are simply too cumbersome and too filled with exceptions and variation to make any effort to reduce it to some sort of simple chart impossible, or at least unwise. And so, rather than attempt to provide the charts and rules with explanations, I thought what I would do is list a number of common situations and give an idea about what the possible sentences might be. It may be that you will find a situation that seems to match the situation you are interested in.

Misdemeanors are considered lesser crimes than felonies and are divided into three classes based on the degree of seriousness of the offense and the severity of the punishments. It is important to take misdemeanor charges seriously, because having a misdemeanor conviction on your record can impact your life in many negative ways. You may have difficult time getting the job you want, being admitted to an institution of higher education, or even obtaining an occupational license. Class C Misdemeanors Class C misdemeanors are considered the least serious type of criminal offense in Texas. A Class C misdemeanor conviction carries a punishment of a fine of up to $500. Community service in addition to or in place of the fine is at the judge’s discretion. A common example of a Class C misdemeanor is a traffic offense that results in a traffic ticket. Other types of Class C misdemeanor offenses include: Disorderly conduct Public intoxication Bad checks Simple assault Criminal trespass Gambling Bail jumping Leaving a child in a vehicle Petty theft such as shoplifting Possession of alcoholic beverage in a motor vehicle Driving under the influence of alcohol by a minor Minor in possession of alcohol Minor in possession of tobacco Class B Misdemeanors Class B misdemeanors are considered more serious than Class C misdemeanors and carry punishments of a fine of up to $2000, and/or a jail sentence of up to 180 days.

However, there are certain circumstances that can turn a misdemeanor DUI into a felony. Whether you get charged with a misdemeanor or felony can greatly affect your punishment. Felonies are considered much more serious crimes and can result in more than a year in prison and hefty fines. On the other hand, misdemeanors usually result in less than a year in jail and potentially lesser fines. Drunken-driving laws vary by state, but in general, here are three ways that a misdemeanor DUI can become a felony: The DUI causes injury or death. In some states, a DUI or DWI charge becomes a felony if the intoxicated driver causes bodily harm or death to another person.

An aggravated drunk driving charge can result from certain aggravating circumstances surrounding the incident that led to the charge. While a first drunk driving conviction is typically a misdemeanor under most states’ drunk driving laws, aggravated drunk driving constitutes a felony charge, which necessarily results in harsher punishments for drivers convicted of aggravated DUI.

Introduction There is little that can affect sentencing more than prior convictions. Enhancements are affected by many areas of law. This has led to a seemingly piecemeal interpretation by the courts. The goal of this article is to draw together the often disparate current Texas laws concerning use of prior convictions for statutory enhancement of punishment. Given the format of this publication, the article is a two-part series. The first part will present an overview of enhancement law, discussing pretrial issues and admissibility of prior conviction records at trial. Part two will cover sufficiency of the evidence to prove prior convictions, challenge of enhancement by collateral attack, and appellate remedies for enhancement errors.

In most states, the penalty for a first time DWI is a fine and possibly a short jail time of several days. And generally, the jail time is suspended and replace with community service.

To be considered a habitual offender, you generally have to receive a sentence other than probation or deferred sentencing. Being granted deferred sentencing means that if the defendant complies with a period of probation, his or her charge will be dismissed without a conviction being entered. Oftentimes, when people enter the criminal justice system and are considering plea bargain options for DUI and DWI cases, they assume that the same principles will apply. The common misconception is that with a deferred sentencing for a DUI case, the penalties will be lessened. Unfortunately, this is not the case as most of the usual rules for enhancements and penalties do not apply to DUI probation and deferred sentencing.

During pregnancy, the placenta also produces high levels of progesterone, starting near the end of the first trimester and continuing until the baby is born. Levels of progesterone in a pregnant woman are about 10 times higher than they are in a woman who is not pregnant. Some types of cancer cause abnormal progesterone levels in men and women.

The first part discusses Marilyn Frye’s accounts of “arrogant” as well as of “loving” perception and presents an explanation of “loving, knowing ignorance.” The second part discusses the work of Audre Lorde, Elizabeth Spelman, and María Lugones in their attempts to deal with the issue of arrogant perception within feminism, and examines how Lugones’s notion of “ ‘world’-traveling” may help us deal with “loving, knowing ignorance.” Ultimately, the author suggests that we need to become aware of instances of “loving, knowing ignorance,” especially if we are to stay true to Third Wave feminism’s commitment to diversity.

Background and Problem Discussion: The capital budgeting decision has been a very typical issue in the sustenance of a company. Several companies have lost their identity or liquidated due to wrong capital budgeting decision they made at one particular time or the other. Based on these prevalent problems in industries and the effect of globalisation on industries, it is important to use effective method to analyse investment before decision is made. Capital budgeting is extremely important because the decision made involve the direction and opportunity for future growth of the organisation. One of the traditional methods commonly used for capital investment appraisal by some organizations is the payback method, although this method has been criticized by academicians that it does not include the future cash flow and do not measure profitability. The wide acceptance of this method by practicing managers, has called for investigation as why is the method is still popularly used in organizations." }, { "docid": "D3289557#0", "title": "http://rubinoobgyn.com/femilift/\nFemiLift can change your life.", "text": "Femi Lift can change your life.

Many mark the film as the unofficial start of Nigeria’s home-grown film industry, dubbed “ Nollywood ,” which produces an incredible 1,500 or more movies a year — vastly more than Hollywood, and second in number only to India’s film industry, Bollywood. Today, Nollywood films are available globally on cellphones, Netflix and You Tube, and on streets across Africa. In her new book “ Nollywood: The Making of a Film Empire ,” journalist Emily Witt argues that Nollywood is positioned to become a global brand much like the films of Bollywood or kung fu movies. This despite the many obstacles filmmakers might face: electricity cuts, fuel scarcity, political instability and more. “There were a lot of films in Nigeria through the years, but none spoke our voice. ”The book’s introduction, as relayed to Witt by Nigerian documentary filmmaker Femi Odugbemi, describes how cinema and other culture in Nigeria was dominated for decades by the narratives of the colonialists. ( Nigeria was under British rule from 1901 to 1960, when an independence movement led to self-government.) But then, Odugbemi told Witt, “People who were the consumers began to become the storytellers… There were a lot of films in Nigeria through the years, but none spoke our voice." }, { "docid": "D227645#0", "title": "https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/repair-of-the-rectum-rectocele-or-small-bowel-enterocele\nRepair of Rectocele or Enterocele", "text": "Repair of Rectocele or Enterocele Surgery Overview A rectocele occurs when the end of the large intestine (rectum) pushes against and moves the back wall of the vagina. An enterocele (small bowel prolapse) occurs when the small bowel presses against and moves the upper wall of the vagina. Rectoceles and enteroceles develop if the lower pelvic muscles become damaged by labor, childbirth, or a previous pelvic surgery or when the muscles are weakened by aging. A rectocele or an enterocele can be present at birth (congenital), though this is rare. A rectocele or an enterocele may become large or more obvious when you strain or bear down (for example, during a bowel movement ). A rectocele and an enterocele may occur together, especially if you have had surgery to remove the uterus ( hysterectomy ). Because rectocele and enterocele are defects of the pelvic supporting tissue and not the bowel wall, they are treated most successfully with surgery that repairs the vaginal wall. This surgery pulls together the stretched or torn tissue in the area of prolapse. Surgery will also strengthen the wall of the vagina to prevent prolapse from recurring. Unless there is another health problem that would require an abdominal incision, rectoceles and enteroceles are usually repaired through the vagina." }, { "docid": "D1102000#0", "title": "https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/08/19-things-learned-nigeria.html\n19 Things I Learned in Nigeria", "text": "19 Things I Learned in Nigeria By Tim Urban If you’re not sure what Odd Things in Odd Places is and why I’m in Nigeria by myself, here’s why.

However, there are many different kinds of feminism. Feminists disagree about what sexism consists in, and what exactly ought to be done about it; they disagree about what it means to be a woman or a man and what social and political implications gender has or should have. Nonetheless, motivated by the quest for social justice, feminist inquiry provides a wide range of perspectives on social, cultural, economic, and political phenomena. Important topics for feminist theory and politics include: the body, class and work, disability, the family, globalization, human rights, popular culture, race and racism, reproduction, science, the self, sex work, human trafficking, and sexuality.

( 2) Marginalized groups are socially situated in ways that make it more possible for them to be aware of things and ask questions than it is for the non-marginalized. ( 3) Research, particularly that focused on power relations, should begin with the lives of the marginalized. Feminist standpoint theory, then, makes a contribution to epistemology, to methodological debates in the social and natural sciences, to philosophy of science, and to political activism. It has been one of the most influential and debated theories to emerge from second-wave feminist thinking. Feminist standpoint theories place relations between political and social power and knowledge center-stage. These theories are both descriptive and normative, describing and analyzing the causal effects of power structures on knowledge while also advocating a specific route for enquiry, a route that begins from standpoints emerging from shared political struggle within marginalized lives. Feminist standpoint theories emerged in the 1970s, in the first instance from Marxist feminist and feminist critical theoretical approaches within a range of social scientific disciplines. They thereby offer epistemological and methodological approaches that are specific to a variety of disciplinary frameworks, but share a commitment to acknowledging, analyzing and drawing on power/knowledge relationships, and on bringing about change which results in more just societies. Feminist scholars working within a number of disciplines—such as Dorothy Smith, Nancy Hartsock, Hilary Rose, Sandra Harding, Patricia Hill Collins, Alison Jaggar and Donna Haraway—have advocated taking women’s lived experiences, particularly experiences of (caring) work, as the beginning of scientific enquiry." }, { "docid": "D359357#0", "title": "http://feministing.com/2011/07/27/what-the-hell-is-non-consensual-sex/\nWhat the hell is ânon-consensual sex?â", "text": "\"By Jos Truitt • @jostruitt • 6 years ago What the hell is “non-consensual sex?”In the media coverage of Congressman David Wu’s resignation some disturbing language jumped out at me, from the biggest, most mainstream papers to smaller and even feminist online publications.

Gimenez Department of Sociology University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, Colorado 80309-0327Published in RADICAL PHILOSOPHY, 101 (May/June 2000): 18-19, and posted here with permission from the publishers. Introduction It was possible, in the heady days of the Women's Liberation Movement, to identify four main currents within feminist thought; Liberal (concerned with attaining economic and political equality within the context of capitalism); Radical (focused on men and patriarchy as the main causes of the oppression of women); Socialist (critical of capitalism and Marxism, so much so that avoidance of Marxism's alleged reductionisms resulted in dual systems theories postulating various forms of interaction between capitalism and patriarchy); and Marxist Feminism (a theoretical position held by relatively few feminists in the U. S. -- myself included -- which sought to develop the potential of Marxist theory to understand the capitalist sources of the oppression of women). These are, of course, oversimplified descriptions of a rich and complex body of literature which, however, reflected important theoretical, political and social cleavages among women that continue to this date. Divisions in feminist thought multiplied as the effects of post-structuralist and post-modern theorizing emerged alongside with grass roots challenges to a feminism perceived as the expression of the needs and concerns of middle and upper middle class white, \"\"First World\"\" women. In the process, the subject of feminism became increasingly difficult to define, as the post-modern critique of \"\"woman\"\" as an essentialist category together with critiques grounded in racial, ethnic, sexual preference and national origin differences resulted in a seemingly never ending proliferation of \"\"subject positions,\"\" \"\"identities,\"\" and \"\"voices.\"\" Cultural and identity politics replaced the early focus on capitalism and (among Marxist feminists primarily) class divisions among women; today class has been reduced to another \"\"ism;\"\" i.e., to another form oppression which, together with gender and race integrate a sort of mantra, something that everyone ought to include in theorizing and research though, to my knowledge, theorizing about it remains at the level of metaphors (e.g., interweaving, interaction, interconnection etc.). It was, therefore, very interesting to me to read, a few years ago, a call for papers for an edited book on Materialist Feminism (Mat Fem). The description of Mat Fem put forth by the editors, Chrys Ingraham and Rosemary Hennessy, was to me indistinguishable from Marxist Feminism (Marx Fem). This seemed such a promising development in feminist theory that I proceeded to invite the editors to join me in creating an electronic discussion list on Materialist Feminism, Mat Fem (http://csf.colorado.edu/matfem)." }, { "docid": "D233025#0", "title": "https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-objectification/\nFeminist Perspectives on Objectification", "text": "Feminist Perspectives on Objectification First published Wed Mar 10, 2010; substantive revision Tue Dec 1, 2015Objectification is a notion central to feminist theory. It can be roughly defined as the seeing and/or treating a person, usually a woman, as an object. In this entry, the focus is primarily on sexual objectification, objectification occurring in the sexual realm. Martha Nussbaum (1995, 257) has identified seven features that are involved in the idea of treating a person as an object:instrumentality: the treatment of a person as a tool for the objectifier's purposes;denial of autonomy: the treatment of a person as lacking in autonomy and self-determination;inertness: the treatment of a person as lacking in agency, and perhaps also in activity;fungibility: the treatment of a person as interchangeable with other objects;violability: the treatment of a person as lacking in boundary-integrity;ownership: the treatment of a person as something that is owned by another (can be bought or sold);denial of subjectivity: the treatment of a person as something whose experiences and feelings (if any) need not be taken into account. Rae Langton (2009, 228–229) has added three more features to Nussbaum's list:reduction to body: the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts;reduction to appearance: the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses;silencing: the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak. The majority of the thinkers discussing objectification have taken it to be a morally problematic phenomenon. This is particularly the case in feminist discussions of pornography. Anti-pornography feminists Catharine Mac Kinnon and Andrea Dworkin, influenced by Immanuel Kant's conception of objectification, have famously argued that, due to men's consumption of pornography, women as a group are reduced to the status of mere tools for men's purposes. Moreover, feminists like Sandra Bartky and Susan Bordo have argued that women are objectified through being excessively preoccupied with their appearance. Important recent work by feminists has also been devoted to exploring the connection between objectivity and objectification." }, { "docid": "D3027134#0", "title": "http://thefederalist.com/2014/10/03/californias-neo-victorian-feminism/\nCaliforniaâs Neo-Victorian Feminism", "text": "\"Culture California’s Neo-Victorian Feminism October 3, 2014 By Robert Tracinski A funny thing happened on the way to sexual liberation: we took a wrong turn back to a new, bizarre, secularized Puritanism. And the leading edge of this Puritanism—not by coincidence—is in the very same dens of louche materialism produced by the Sexual Revolution: the universities. This turn backward is heralded by a new law passed in California defining what counts as “sexual assault” and can therefore result in expulsion from the California State University system. This has been dubbed the “yes means yes” law, meaning that for a male student to be accused of sexual assault (and it is almost always a man), the young lady does not need to have said “no” to him. Rather, all sexual contact is presumed to be an assault unless the woman gives “affirmative consent”—and such affirmations “must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity,” which presumably means that she has to sign off on every move her lover makes. Now, part of the purpose of this law was to make it clear that a woman who is incapacitated—by alcohol, of course, since binge drinking is endemic on campus—cannot give consent. Or that a woman who initiates a sexual encounter retains the right to break it off if she changes her mind. But it’s not clear whether such a law would be necessary, given existing statutes and policies, nor does the law restrict itself to those provisions. Instead, it creates a very broad and vague presumption against all physical contact. Set aside for a moment this statute’s capacity for injustice and abuse, which are covered well here, including the fact that one of the law’s own supporters admitted she has no idea what it means or how to avoid violating it." }, { "docid": "D689661#0", "title": "http://www.feminist.com/resources/artspeech/genwom/whatisfem.htm\n.", "text": "\"A R T I C L E S * & * S P E E C H E SGENERAL WOMEN & FEMINISMWhat Is Feminism?by Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards The following is an excerpt from Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future by Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2000).

Intersectionality is most often invoked as a methodological approach, but what is its significance for feminist political theory? The concept of intersectionality has made a significant contribution to feminist theory. In fact, Mc Call (2005, pp. 1771) has stated, “intersectionality is the most important theoretical contribution that women’s studies has made so far”. Despite its popularity amongst feminist scholars intersectionality has also been subject to much contestation. Due to the ambiguity surrounding this concept, the exact definition of intersectionality, in addition to how the concept should be utilised, is a source of disagreement amongst feminist scholars (Smooth 2013).

Siobhan Green referred to Dr. Sarah Blaffer Hrdy as an excellent example of someone pro-equal rights, coming from the framework of evolutionary psychology. I think the major reason why there is such dismissiveness of evolutionary psychology by a large number of self-proclaimed feminists, is due to a number of misunderstandings surrounding evolutionary psychology. Most people’s knowledge of evolutionary psychology comes from the popular evolutionary psychology. I am not against popular psychology or mention of actual psychological research as presented in popular press, because it can still be informative and often it is written in a much more relatable, easier to absorb, and thought-provoking black-and-white manner. In contrast, what you will find in actual peer-reviewed scientific journals on human psychology can at times feel like the total opposite. The majority of people do not have the educational background in the history of science, methodology and research, and statistics to pinpoint the flaws in popular psychological writing.

Not only has it got the potential of excluding and discriminating against other groups of people, it is also sometimes reactionary and anti-feminist. Feminism should abandon the concept of patriarchy and instead look towards the future of an intersectional feminism. Patriarchy was taken up by Max Weber in order to describe a form of household organization in which the father dominated an extended network of kinship and controlled the production of the household. While patriarchy literally means ‘the rule of the father/-s’, its resonance for feminism is based on the theory put forward by early radical feminists to conceptualise an general category of male dominance. Kate Millett was in her work Sexual politics one of the first to provide a theoretical understanding of patriarchy as 'the rule of men'. That is, patriarchy should be understood as a universal power relationship that is all-pervasive, penetrating other forms of social divisions, different societies and different historical epochs. It is therefore the primary oppression: patriarchy is, for example, ‘more rigorous than class stratification, more uniform, certainly more enduring.’ That patriarchal structures might vary is less significant than the fact that it actually exists cross-culturally. According to this understanding of patriarchy women are always, in some way or other, oppressed, exploited and/or dominated by men and the concept of class in relation to the oppression of women is transitory and illusory: ‘whatever the class of her birth and education, the female has fewer permanent class associations than does the male." }, { "docid": "D2497480#0", "title": "https://dearwhitefeminists.wordpress.com/\nDear white feminists,", "text": "Dear white feminists,Quit goddamn fucking up.

The attitudes of men must be changed and a state of equality made manifest in the power dynamic between men and women.

Liberal feminists share this view, and insist on freedom for women. There is disagreement among liberals about what freedom means, and thus liberal feminism takes more than one form. This entry discusses two basic kinds of liberal feminism. Part one discusses what, in the philosophical literature, is commonly called simply ‘liberal feminism.’ Liberal feminism conceives of freedom as personal autonomy—living a life of one's own choosing—and political autonomy—being co-author of the conditions under which one lives. Part two discusses what is commonly called ‘classical-liberal feminism,’ or sometimes ‘libertarian feminism’ (these terms will be used interchangeably here). [ 1] Classical-liberal or libertarian feminism conceives of freedom as freedom from coercive interference. While liberal feminism is established in academic philosophy, much of the classical-liberal or libertarian feminist literature is oriented towards a more popular audience.

Deconstruction is always a double movement of simultaneous affirmation and undoing. It started out as a way of reading the history of metaphysics in Heidegger and Jacques Derrida, but was soon applied to the interpretation of literary, religious, and legal texts as well as philosophical ones, and was adopted by several French feminist theorists as a way of making clearer the deep male bias embedded in the European intellectual tradition. To deconstruct is to take a text apart along the structural “fault lines” created by the ambiguities inherent in one or more of its key concepts or themes in order to reveal the equivocations or contradictions that make the text possible. For example, in “Plato’s Pharmacy,” Derrida deconstructs Socrates’ criticism of the written word, arguing that it not only suffers from internal inconsistencies because of the analogy Socrates himself makes between memory and writing, but also stands in stark contrast to the fact that his ideas come to us only through the written word he disparaged (D 61-171). The double movement here is one of tracing this tension in Plato’s text, and in the traditional reading of that text, while at the same time acknowledging the fundamental ways in which our understanding of the world is dependent on Socrates’ attitude toward the written word. Derrida points out similar contradictions in philosophical discussions of a preface (by G. W. F. Hegel, D 1-69) and a picture frame (by Immanuel Kant, TP 17-147), which are simultaneously inside and outside the respective works under consideration. Since the distinction between what is inside the text (or painting) and what is outside can itself be deconstructed according to the same principles, deconstruction is, like Destruktion, an historicizing movement that opens texts to the conditions of their production, their con-text in a very broad sense, including not only the historical circumstances and tradition from which they arose, but also the conventions and nuances of the language in which they were written and the details of their authors’ lives. This generates an effectively infinite complexity in texts that makes any deconstructive reading necessarily partial and preliminary.

[ 1]Radical feminists view society as fundamentally a patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women, and seek to abolish the patriarchy in order to liberate everyone from an unjust society by challenging existing social norms and institutions. This includes opposing the sexual objectification of women, raising public awareness about such issues as rape and violence against women, and challenging the very notion of gender roles. Shulamith Firestone wrote in The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution (1970): \"\" [T]he end goal of feminist revolution must be, unlike that of the first feminist movement, not just the elimination of male privilege but of the sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally.\"\" [ 2]Early radical feminism, arising within second-wave feminism in the 1960s, [3] typically viewed patriarchy as a \"\"transhistorical phenomenon\"\" [4] prior to or deeper than other sources of oppression, \"\"not only the oldest and most universal form of domination but the primary form\"\" and the model for all others. [ 5] Later politics derived from radical feminism ranged from cultural feminism to more syncretic politics that placed issues of class, economics, etc. on a par with patriarchy as sources of oppression.

Initially in the United States in the early 1970s feminist film theory was generally based on sociological theory and focused on the function of female characters in film narratives or genres. Feminist film theory, such as Marjorie Rosen’s Popcorn Venus: Women, Movies, and the American Dream (1973) and Molly Haskell ’s From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in Movies (1974) analyze the ways in which women are portrayed in film, and how this relates to a broader historical context. Additionally, feminist critiques also examine common stereotypes depicted in film, the extent to which the women were shown as active or passive, and the amount of screen time given to women. [ 1]In contrast, film theoreticians in England concerned themselves with critical theory, psychoanalysis, semiotics, and Marxism. Eventually, these ideas gained hold within the American scholarly community in the 1980's. Analysis generally focused on the meaning within a film's text and the way in which the text constructs a viewing subject. It also examined how the process of cinematic production affects how women are represented and reinforces sexism.

All this happens, that is, unless the father is utterly dissolute–in which case the courts will then give custody to the mother. What a terrible place such a society would be! How cruel to women! How cruel to children! What a blessing we don’t live in such a society! Actually, up until sometime in the 19th century, that was the pattern in our society.

Screen of Green, or SCROG, is one of the most productive systems for growing weed that there is. Cannabis plants are trained through a horizontal screen placed above them, spreading the tops of the plants along a horizontal plane and encouraging bud formation along the normally neglected branch stems. Growing marijuana in a canopy, as with Sea of Green (SOG) methods, makes the most efficient use of light, in a SCROG grow however, unlike Sea of Green, the vertical growth of the cannabis plant is limited, forcing its energy out laterally along the screen. A SCROG grow is particularly suitable for small stealth grows. It will make the best use of smaller lights and can work very well with both LED grow lights and reasonably well with compact fluorescent CFL grow lights despite some online sources stating the opposite. When using HID lights that produce lots of heat like HPS lights the most productive area is in a flat circle just beneath the bulb. For example, with a 250W HPS the most productive area is a horizontal circle about 20” (50cm) below the bulb. A 70W HPS has a productive zone about 8” (20cm) from the bulb and with a compact fluorescent CFL grow lights and LED grow lights it is about as close to the bulb as you can get within reason.

The movement's priorities vary among nations and communities and range from opposition to female genital mutilation in one country or to theglass ceiling in another. The movement began in the western world in the late 18th century and has gone through three waves. First-wave feminism was oriented around the station of middle or upper-class white women and involved suffrage and political equality. Second-wave feminism attempted to further combat social and cultural inequalities. Third-wave feminism (c.1980-c.1990)Doubtful. See talk topic: third wave started later and not ended. ( cited from Open Boundaries University text book), includes renewed campaigning for women’s greater influence in politics.

What’s fast autoflowering cannabis and why is so popular? Auto-flowering cannabis strains are different from most types of marijuana in that they begin to flower (produce buds) not long after germination and continue to do so throughout their life cycle. ( The original auto-flowering cannabis strains are called Ruderalis but they didn’t contain any psychoactive substances like THC so they were bred with potent Sativas and Indicas to make a whole new strain of cannabis – auto-flowering strains that will get you high! ) Most cannabis strains need equal spells of dark and light every 24 hours before they will begin to start budding. If the plants are exposed to more than 12 hours of light every 24 hours then they will continue to grow but not flower or form buds. Bummer!Not so with auto-flowering cannabis. These suckers will start to flower a few weeks after germination and continue to flower for their short but potent life cycle. So if you’re growing in a room that can’t be kept completely dark for at least 12 hours a day you’ll want to get auto-flowering seeds.

Amendment 64 allows home cultivation of marijuana, up to six plants per adult. ( Denver’s rules allow a household of two or more adults to cultivate a total of a dozen cannabis plants.) That’s going to appeal to those partakers who are old enough to be leery about openly buying a substance that still remains, on the federal level, strictly illegal. And it’s going to appeal to many who live in a Colorado town or county that doesn’t allow retail stores — and there are quite a few of those, especially on the Eastern Plains.

This vein is of interest because it is the largest vein in the groin area, and occlusions, a formal way of saying “blockages,” in it can lead to serious health problems. People can experience damage to this vein as a result of clotting conditions, traumatic accidents, and surgical complications. The human venous system is a vast and complex network of veins and capillaries that start out small at the extremities and slowly join together to create larger and larger veins, which eventually bring the blood back to the heart. Understanding the layout of this network is important for medical professionals, as certain veins are especially critical. This vein is part of an anatomical structure known as the femoral triangle. The femoral triangle is located on the inside of the upper inner thigh, and it includes the femoral vein, femoral artery, and femoral nerve. The artery and vein are both contained inside the femoral sheath, while the nerve lies outside. This anatomical structure is key to supplying healthy blood to the leg, and recycling old blood up to the heart. Ad For people who are interested in hands-on anatomy, the vein can be found by feeling the inner thigh to find the pulse in the femoral artery." } ]

The jugular route must be taken in patients with bilateral common femoral, iliac vein, or inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis. Real-time sonographic guidance is mandatory for IJ vein puncture and is helpful for access at the groin. In some patients, the CFV lies posterior or posteromedial to the common femoral artery. To avoid traversing the artery, a single-wall needle is slowly inserted through the skin toward the vein with continuous aspiration on the needle hub. Number 4- or 5-French (Fr) pigtail (or similarly shaped) catheters are used for venacavography with the side holes placed at the common iliac vein confluence. Sizing catheters with radiopaque markers assist in determining caval diameter in patients undergoing IVC filter placement. When iodinated contrast must be avoided because of renal insufficiency or history of severe contrast allergy, CO 2 is used. 1 A typical injection rate with iodinated material is 15 m L/sec for 2 seconds.

From the foot, it travels through the back of the knee area and ascends through a triangular opening in the thigh (referred to as the ‘femoral triangle’) that is formed by two muscles and a ligament. Before reaching the femoral vein, it collects blood from several smaller veins, including the superficial gastric, superficial circumflex iliac, and superficial pudendal. The purpose of the great vein is delivery of blood from the ankle, lower leg, and thigh to the femoral vein. Along its length are 10 to 20 one-way valves that keep the blood from flowing back toward the foot. Varicose veins occur when one or more valves stop working, creating distended areas where blood has backed up into smaller veins just under the surface of the skin.

( 2) Many serious injuries to the limbs causing severe bone and soft tissue damage will heal when treated wisely with current techniques. The indications for leg amputation are based on irreversible changes or a poor prognosis for a functional limb. The failure of infected fractures to heal after prolonged treatment and the prospect of prolonged morbidity may justify amputation. A chronic infectious process such as chronic osteomyelitis may produce glomerulonephritis, myocarditis, or other lifethreatening disease. An acute progressive osteomyelitis can cause systemic disease and produce septicemia. Draining tracts from an infected bone can be a management problem.

As far back as the ancient Egyptians, people have used oils, herbs and special body preparations to help preserve the bodies of their dead. Yet no process or products have been devised to preserve a body in the grave indefinitely. The Federal Trade Commission Funeral Rule prohibits funeral providers from telling consumers that it can be done. For example, funeral providers may not claim that either embalming or a particular type of casket will preserve the body of the deceased for an unlimited time. In practice since ancient Egypt, embalming is most often done by using chemical substances. We use embalming today for two primary reasons--to allow adequate time between death and burial to observe social customs such as visitations and funeral services, and to prevent the spread of infection. Cosmetic work is often used for aesthetic reasons. Modern embalming now consists primarily of removing all blood and gases from the body and the insertion of a disinfecting fluid. Small incisions are made in either the carotid or femoral artery and the jugular or femoral vein; the disinfecting fluid is injected through the carotid or femoral artery, and the blood is drained from the jugular or femoral vein." }, { "docid": "D341358#0", "title": "https://www.circulationfoundation.org.uk/help-advice/peripheral-arterial-disease/femoropopliteal-femorodistal-bypass\nFemoropopliteal & Femorodistal Bypass", "text": "Femoropopliteal & Femorodistal Bypass The femoral artery starts in the lower abdomen and runs down into the thigh.

When there is a blockage in this artery, the circulation of blood to your leg is reduced which may cause pain in your calf when you walk, and is known as intermittent claudication. This operation should allow you to walk further without pain. This surgery is also recommended when the circulation is so poor that your foot is painful at rest or at night. Another symptom indicating a possible blockage in the artery may be leg ulcers or black areas of dead skin. In such cases, this operation can be used to prevent the amputation of your leg below or above the knee.

Let’s find out the difference between fennel and anise. Definitions: Fennel: a plant, Foeniculum vulgare, of the parsley family, having feathery leaves and umbels of small, yellow flowers; also, fennel seed, the aromatic fruits of this plant, used in cookery and medicine. Anise: a Mediterranean plant, Pimpenella anisum, of the parsley family, having loose umbrels of small yellowish-white flowers that yield aniseed. And,Aniseed: the aromatic seed of anise, the oil of which (anise oil, aniseed oil, oil of anise) is used in the manufacture of anehtole, in medicine as a carminative and expectorant, and in cookery and liqueurs for its licoricelike flavor. As we can see right away, both fennel and anise belong to the parsley family, also known as the Apiaceae family. Both plants are related to licorice, tarragon, carrots, celery, caraway, and others. The main difference between the two, is that fennel is more so considered to be a vegetable, while anise is a spice – this is because more of the fennel plant is edible than the anise plant. The anise plant’s seeds are typically the only part of the plant that is consumed. With fennel, the seeds, leaves, stems, and bulbs can all be enjoyed." } ]

Eric Litton used under CCAS 2.5 License When absinthe -- also known as the Green Fairy -- was banned in France, Switzerland, the United States and many other countries in the early 1900s, it had become associated with illicit behavior. In fact, it was accused of turning children into criminals, encouraging loose morals and inspiring murders. That regular old alcohol received similar treatment during the Prohibition period in the United States turns out to be pretty apropos: We now know that properly manufactured absinthe -- an anise-flavored, alcoholic drink -- is no more dangerous than any other properly prepared liquor. What about the tales of hallucinations, Oscar Wilde and his tulips, family massacres and instant death? Not absinthe's fault, technically speaking. Absinthe does have a very high alcohol content -- anywhere between 55 and 75 percent, which equates to about 110 to 144 proof. It makes whiskey's standard 40 percent (80 proof) seem like child's play, which is why absinthe is supposed to be diluted.

The vegetable is often confused with the vegetable part of the anise plant, and its \"\"seed\"\" may be confused with aniseed. This plant is in the same family, Apiaceae, as anise, dill, cilantro, caraway, and cumin, and the flavor is similar to anise.

Most are galactagogues – herbs taken specifically to increase milk supply. There are two exceptions: Echinacea, to be taken at the first sign of inflammation to prevent mastitis, and valerian, taken at low dosage to help sleep-deprived mothers find restful sleep, even when they continue to wake up during the night. While most mothers use lactogenic herbs or foods for a short time to give their supply a boost, others depend on them to maintain their supply for as long as they produce milk. Some of these mothers find that herbs or foods lose their effect with time; apparently, the mother’s body becomes desensitized to the herb or food. The solution is to take a new herbal galactagogues and lactogenic foods. These will probably need to be taken at high dosage for a few days in order to kick in. Once the milk supply rebounds, reduce the dosage to maintenance dosage. At a later time, you will probably find that your responsiveness to the original herbs or foods is restored. Alternating between different herbs and foods every few days can help prevent the body from becoming desensitized to any particular galactagogue." }, { "docid": "D468929#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110108092238AAtMyBD\nSaffron or safflower?", "text": "Food & Drink Ethnic Cuisine Saffron or safflower?

Each spice, chile, or herb has specific, unique chemical compounds that create these sensual qualities. Even casual cooks are probably able to identify the four most well-known flavor profiles- bitter, salty, sour, and sweet. In the last decade or so, a fifth taste profile known as “umami” has emerged in the collective social consciousness in America. This Japanese word translates loosely to “pleasant savory taste” and is usually associated with the flavor of things like mushrooms or Nori. The best description of umami is that it falls somewhere between savory and salty, though there is no English word to accurately describe that flavor. When talking about spices, a true spice aficionado simply cannot be limited to just four or five. For these people, there are many more equally identifiable flavor characteristics- cooling, earthy, floral, fruity, herbaceous, hot, nutty, piney, pungent, spicy, sulfury, and woody. Spices usually do not have a single flavor profile. For example, the popular spice cumin falls into a few of the flavor profiles as it is both earthy and spicy." }, { "docid": "D2556505#0", "title": "https://www.chowhound.com/post/bottle-pernod-360414\nWhat to do with a bottle of Pernod.", "text": "Home Cooking Liqueur Anise How to Use Up 31What to do with a bottle of Pernod.david t.

These are commonly a mixture of star anise, cloves, Chinese cinnamon, Sichuan pepper and fennel seeds. This isn’t definite though and five-spice powder can also include anise seeds, ginger root, nutmeg, turmeric, amomum villosum pods, cardamom pods, licorice, orange peel or galangal. In Taiwan, five-spice powder is used quite often. Five-spice powder is a key seasoning for dishes including minced pork rice (魯肉飯), deep-fried fish and pork rolls (炸雞捲). In southern China, five-spice powder usually uses Saigon Cinnamon and orange peel to replace Chinese cinnamon and cloves so the five-spice powder from southern China tastes a little bit different compared to other five-spice powder from other regions of China.

What most people don’t realize is that star anise actually is a deliciously potent spice that can do amazing things for your cooking, especially for meat. But first, the basics. Star anise is the fruit — yes, fruit — of an evergreen tree native to southern China (where most of it still is produced). When dried, that fruit resembles a 1-inch, rust-colored star, usually with six to eight points. Each point contains a small, shiny seed. The flavor, which is contained in both the seeds and the star itself, is very sweet and licorice-like, similar to aniseed (though the plants are not related). In China, which has used it for centuries, star anise is a key ingredient in five-spice powder (with cloves, cinnamon, fennel and Sichuan peppercorns).

I have heard that licorice is not good for your health. Does fennel create the same problems? A. The ingredient in licorice that can raise blood pressure is a sweet-tasting compound called glycyrrhizin. But the licorice-like flavor shared by anise, fennel and licorice is created by a natural compound called anethole, which does not affect blood pressure. In fact, anethole, along with a number of other spice-derived nutraceuticals, shows promise as an anti-inflammatory compound ( Nutrition and Cancer, online Dec. 9, 2011).

FENOFIBRATE - ORAL (fen-oh-FYE-brate)COMMON BRAND NAME (S): Tricor, Triglide USES: Fenofibrate is used along with a proper diet to help lower \"\"bad\"\" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise \"\"good\"\" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as \"\"fibrates.\"\" It works by increasing the natural substance (enzyme) that breaks down fats in the blood. Lowering triglycerides in people with very high triglyceride blood levels may also decrease the risk of pancreas disease (pancreatitis).

It is mainly used to reduce cholesterol levels in people at risk of cardiovascular disease. Like other fibrates, it reduces both low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels, as well as increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and reducing triglyceride levels. [ 1] It is used alone or along with statins in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. However, due to lack of cardiovascular benefit in several large trials and the risk of side effects such as muscle damage, the FDA withdrew approval for the use in high cholesterol treatment in combination with statins. [ 2]Fenofibrate has been used since 1975 and is one of the most commonly prescribed fibrates.

In This Article Abstract History & Current Indication of Fenofibrate Methods Conclusion: New Indications for Fenofibrate in Microvascular Disease, & Dosing Issues Future Perspective References Sidebar History & Current Indication of Fenofibrate Fenofibrate has been available since 1975. [ 1] It is a PPAR-α agonist traditionally used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia. Despite fenofibrate's availability since that time, it was not until 1990 that Isseman and Green identified the first nuclear receptor to which peroxisome proliferators bound, [ 2] which is now designated the PPAR-α receptor. Fenofibrate is used in the treatment of dyslipidemia (characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides [TGs] and reduced HDL cholesterol), a condition common among patients with Type 2 diabetes. [ 3] Apart from its lipid-lowering properties, there is now evidence that fenofibrate exerts pleiotropic effects on the microvascular complications of diabetes. It has been found to reduce the need for laser photocoagulation therapy in patients with diabetic retinopathy and to reduce the risk of microvascular amputations. [ 4–6] In terms of renal pathology, fenofibrate has recently been shown to beneficially attenuate diabetic albuminuria. [ 7, 8] While it is also known to increase serum creatinine (SCr), it has been reported to reduce the loss of estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR) over 5 years. [" } ]

January 18, 2010Tweet Fentanyl will definitely show up in a drug test and it will show up as an opiate because it is part of the class of drugs that are chemically similar to morphine. Fentanyl is in fact 100 times more potent a drug that morphine and is the first line of treatment in dealing with cancer for the treatment of pain. The drug has been around since the 60s and is classified as a drug that has to be sold under medical supervision because of its potential abuse. As far as drug testing goes, the substance is fat soluble and since the method delivery is mostly transdermal, the chances of it remaining in the body for a long time are very good. This means that you might have ingested the drug at one point of time but it would remain in your body being very slowly metabolized over a longer period of time. Fentanyl is a class of drugs called opiods. These drugs work primarily on the pain pathways of the brain and work by inducing a sense of euphoria as well as dulling of pain. There are natural substances that are created in the body that work on the opiod pathways as well and these are called endorphins. These are created and released in the brain as a reward and gratification after achieving some kind of task – literally speaking, they give you the high sense of achievement." } ]

NEW ORLEANS -- That poppy seeds can lead to false-positive results on tests for opioid abuse is not just an urban legend, researchers said here. Amounts as small as a teaspoon -- at least the amount on a poppy seed bagel -- can trigger a positive finding, and can last for two to three days after consumption, according to Dwight Smith, MD, of the VA medical center in Black Hills, S. D., and colleagues. The example is one of many suggesting that drug-abuse tests often give inaccurate results, according Smith's presentation here at the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting. Another example is that most standard drug tests don't screen for the opioid drug oxycodone, as well as a handful of other opioids including methadone and fentanyl, noted Smith, who conducted the research while he was at Boston Medical Center. Physicians must specifically order these assays. \"\" There are gaps in our understanding of the science behind drug tests, and how that leads to our interpretation of testing results,\"\" said Smith.

Watch the hearing from the Energy and Commerce Committee web site Chairman Murphy, Ranking Member De Gette, and Members of the Committee: thank you for inviting the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to participate in this important hearing to provide an overview of what we know about the role of fentanyl in the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic and how scientific research can help us address this crisis. The misuse of and addiction to opioids – including prescription pain medicines, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl – is a serious national problem that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently estimated that the total “economic burden” of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement. 1 In 2015, over 33,000 Americans died as a result of an opioid overdose. 2 That year, an estimated 2 million people in the United States suffered from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain medicines (including fentanyl), and 591,000 suffered from a heroin use disorder (not mutually exclusive). 3This issue has become a public health epidemic with devastating consequences including not just increases in opioid abuse and related fatalities from overdoses, but also the rising incidence of neonatal abstinence syndrome due to opioid use during pregnancy, and the increased spread of infectious diseases, including HIV and hepatitis C. 4-6 Recent research has also found a significant increase in mid-life mortality in the United States particularly among white Americans with less education. Increasing death rates from drug and alcohol poisonings are believed to have played a significant role in this change. 7The Pharmacology of Fentanyl and Other Synthetic Opioids Prescription opioids, heroin, and synthetic opioid drugs all work through the same mechanism of action.

They are considered to be one of the oldest drugs that encompass analgesic effects, which when taken will immediately control emotions and diminish the effects of painful stimuli. Opioids originally came from the opium poppy plant ( Papaver somniferum ), which was first cultivated around 3,400 B. C. This plant is also found in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia and is referred to as the \"\"common garden poppy\"\". The opium poppy grows up 1.2 meters with flowers that have various attractive colors like white, pink, red, and purple. Their seeds also vary in color from white to blue. Today, opioids can be found in several painkillers like morphine, heroin, thebaine, codeine, papaverine and noscapine. To detect the presence of opioids in the body, drug testing may be administered through the opiates drug test kit. History of Opioids The opium poppy first got its name \"\"opius\"\" (a Greek word for \"\"little juice\"\"), where the word \"\"opioids\"\" basically got its name from. Back then, opioids were used by Romans and Greeks to induce sleep and produce constipation.

Feral children are confined by humans (often parents), brought up by animals, or live in the wild in isolation. There have been over one hundred reported cases of feral children, and this is a selection of ten of them.10 Feral Children: Shamdeo In May 1972, a boy aged about four was discovered in the forest of Musafirkhana, about 20 miles from Sultanpur. The boy was playing with wolf cubs. He had very dark skin, long hooked fingernails, matted hair and calluses on his palms, elbows and knees. He shared several characteristics with Kamala and Amala: sharpened teeth, craving for blood, earth-eating, chicken-hunting, love of darkness and friendship with dogs and jackals. He was named Shamdeo and taken to the village of Narayanpur. Although weaned off raw meat, he never talked, but learnt some sign language. In 1978 he was admitted to Mother Theresa’s Home for the Destitute and Dying in Lucknow, where he was re-named Pascal and was visited by Bruce Chatwin in 1978. He died in February 1985.9 The Wild Girl of Champagne The wild girl of Champagne had probably learned to speak before her abandonment, for she is a rare example of a wild child learning to talk coherently." } ]

They use research methods to design a study—perhaps a detailed, systematic, scientific method for conducting research and obtaining data, or perhaps an ethnographic study utilizing an interpretive framework. Planning the research design is a key step in any sociological study. When entering a particular social environment, a researcher must be careful. There are times to remain anonymous and times to be overt. There are times to conduct interviews and times to simply observe. Some participants need to be thoroughly informed; others should not know they are being observed. A researcher wouldn’t stroll into a crime-ridden neighborhood at midnight, calling out, “Any gang members around?” And if a researcher walked into a coffee shop and told the employees they would be observed as part of a study on work efficiency, the self-conscious, intimidated baristas might not behave naturally.

If your dog has gone missing, call local shelters, animal control, the police, etc. to see if someone has picked up your dog running loose. Many times, the dog is at the pound or animal shelter, waiting for you to pick him up. If not, then put up posters, phone neighbors, have them look in their yards and outbuildings, contact Craig’s List, put a lost dog ad in your local newspaper, it’s important to communicate as much as you can that your dog is missing.

By Brenna Davis; Updated April 24, 2017Domesticated hamsters are popular pets that can bond strongly to their owners. Many hamster owners find that their hamsters are skittish and easily startled by loud noises and rapid movements. This is because hamsters are prey animals in the wild and are eaten by a variety of predators. They build large burrows to protect themselves from predation and consequently prefer dry, desert-like habitats. Snakes Most species of snakes prey on rodents like hamsters, and hamsters are at risk of being eaten by a variety of snakes. Diamondback rattlesnakes are common in the hamster's natural environment, and juveniles frequently eat hamsters. Adult rattlesnakes prefer larger prey like rabbits.

I n all likelihood the answer to this question is a complex interaction between the two. Few would reject the position that biology plays an important role. Biology provides us with large brains that allow us to think abstractly (e.g., we can create things in our minds and build them in reality).

It is based on the assumption (through visual observation) that cage trapping, especially if done in conjunction with controlled or guided exclusion, offers the best opportunity to gain some control of the feral hog population. While considering this material, one should keep in mind: Rule No. 1 – There are always exceptions to the Rule – both positive and negative. One can have success with some ill-planned activity while some of the best-laid plans are for naught – and everywhere in between.

A crowd must focus attention on the same event, person, or object2. Crowd members begin to influence each other as soon as this common focus occurs3. Excitement grows4. Individuals lose their self consciousness & enter something like a frenzy state5. In the frenzy, people cease to think before they act6. Once in the frenzy condition, people will support almost any idea or behavior offered by any member of the group7. In this way, the entire crowd is reduced to the level of what Le Bon call \"\"its lowest members\"\"Contagion theory is unique in that it assumes that collective behavior is explained by- exclusively, the mental state of the participants; i.e. the apprehension that no outside forces are involved- the breakdown of normal critical thinking to the point of irrationality & lose of self control- the circular reaction which is far more important than any pre exisiting attitudes- its contagion, either physical or social contagion, which can occur any time people gather Evaluation: Contagion theory exaggerates the level of irrationality, & thus never directly explores the question of the extent to which individuals become less rational & more sensitive to the crowed Contagion theory holds that crowd behavior is contagious, but a more realistic analysis would explore the degree to which \"\"contagion\"\" exists & the conditions under which it increases or decreases CONTAGION THEORY IS APPLYING MANY OF THE PRINCIPLES OF S - I TO COL BEH & FINDING THAT COMMON MEANING CREATION CREATES COMMON BEHAVIOR / COLLECTIVE BEHAVIORThe theory of symbolic interactionism (S - I) focuses on how we create meaning in an interactive process w/ ourselves, others, & social structures Contagion theory focuses on how the meaning which creates collective action comes to be & therefore the focus is also on the S -I process of the creation of meaning in an interactive process w/ ourselves, others, & social structures Fundamentally, both S - I & contagion theory are examining the operation of the 3 way dynamic among the self, society, & the processes of the construction of the self & society The principles of S - I hold that the meaning we perceive shapes our behavior & our interpretation & behavior creates our self & contagion theory holds that people can gain these interpretations together & thus will act or behave together or similarly Internal Links Top Outline on Intro to Symbolic Interactionism External Links INTRO: S - I FOCUSES ON HOW WE CREATE MEANING IN AN INTERACTIVE PROCESS W/ OURSELVES, OTHERS, & SOCIAL STRUCTURESSymbolic interactionism is a micro oriented paradigm which holds that: 1. we create meaning in an interactive process w/ ourselves, others, & social structures 2." }, { "docid": "D2138038#0", "title": "http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2013/11/06/yelling_at_your_kids_don_t_do_it_oops_you_just_did.html\nStop YELLING AT YOUR KIDS.

To used the latest educational catch phrases, Montessori education is “multi-modality, differentiated instruction.” In more everyday terms, Montessorians disagree with the idea that all children learn in the exact same way at the exact same time of their life. They believe that a good teacher doesn’t say, “It is the 4th day, of the 3rd month, of second grade, so open your math book to page 49 and…” Instead we observe each child and ask ourselves, “What does this child understand? What is the next concept this child needs to learn? In which way does this child learn? ( Are they observers? Talkers?" } ]

Fermentation is a form of biological energy production and \"\"fermented\"\" is the end result of the process I present below. I heais fermented a good thing. Yes, in most cases fermentation is a good thing but fermentation is also found in food decomposition and is why people mentioned rotting above. i heard of fermented wine but i just wanna know bout fermented Okay: Fermentation for food production (any means) is commonly the conversion of carbohydrates (substrate) to reduced products including to alcohols, organic acids, and other compounds. Although carbohydrates are the common substrate organic acids are also fermented. Fermentation is carried out by microorganisms classified as fungi and bacteria (in rare cases molds) as an energy producing pathway. Certain environmental conditions are required by each in order for it to conduct fermentation, the most common and perhaps important being anaerobic. Formally, fermentation is a series of chemical reactions known as oxidation-reduction or Redox." } ]

Fermented Foods Are Abundant in Your Ancestor's Diet The way our forefathers lived offers clues on how different cultures used fermented foods (like yogurt and sauerkraut) not only as food preservatives, but also as support for intestinal and overall health. History shows that: During the Roman era, people consumed sauerkraut because of its taste and health benefits. In ancient India, it was common to enjoy lassi, a pre-dinner yogurt drink.

However, recent research has shown that in spite of its high-sodium content, miso does not appear to affect our cardiovascular system in the way that other high-sodium foods sometimes can. In recent animal studies, for example, identical concentrations of salt (sodium chloride) obtained from miso versus table salt were discovered to have very different impacts on blood pressure. High-salt diets that derived their high salt level from table salt raised blood pressure in these animal studies, but high-salt diets that derived their high salt from miso did not. Recent human studies on miso intake among Japanese adults have also shown that miso-containing diets tend to lower risk of cardiovascular problems, despite the high-salt content of miso. Reasons for this unique relationship between miso and our cardiovascular system are not yet clear. However, some researchers have speculated that the unique soy protein composition of miso (including peptide building-blocks of protein that get formed from soy proteins when the beans are fermented) is one of the key reasons for the cardiovascular support provided by miso. Since miso is seldom eaten alone, other cardio-supportive foods in miso soups and miso stir-fries might also play an important role in these research findings. Some of the health benefits provided by soy foods depend on the ability of bacteria or other micro-organisms to break down two of the soy's isoflavones - daidzein and genistein—into related compounds (for example, equol). Interestingly, recent research has shown that many different strains of the fungus Aspergillus oryzae —by far the most widely-used fungus in the fermentation of miso—are capable of breaking down both daidzein and genistein." }, { "docid": "D181098#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/64679074/cells-and-energy-46-fermentation-flash-cards/\nCells and Energy 4.6 Fermentation", "text": "40 terms Rahul_Anand Cells and Energy 4.6 Fermentation Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Because most of the ATP generated by cellular respiration is due to the work of oxidative phosphorylation, our estimate of ATP yield from aerobic respiration is contingent on an adequate supply of oxygen to the cell. Without electronegative oxygen to pull electrons down the transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation eventually ceases. However, there are two general mechanisms by which certain cells can oxidize organic fuel and generate ATP without the use of oxygen: Anaerobic respiration and fermentation. The distinction between these two is that an electron transport chain is used in anaerobic respiration but not in fermentation.

The running ( encierro) of the bulls during the Fiesta de San Fermín, Pamplona, Spain. © Blaine Harrington The festival was originally observed on Saint Fermín’s feast day, September 25, but in 1592 the celebration was moved to July. Pamplona’s modern fiesta starts with fireworks called chupinazo at noon on July 6, followed by the singing of the traditional song “Pamploneses, Viva San Fermín, Gora San Fermín” (“People of Pamplona, Long Live Saint Fermín”). The best-known part of the festival is the running of the bulls, or the encierro. From July 7 to July 14 the bulls to be used in the daily bullfights are run through the streets of the town to the bullring. Both locals and tourists participate in the event, made famous in Ernest Hemingway ’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. The bullfight, or corrida, is held every afternoon. In addition to the secular events, the Procession of Saint Fermín, a religious celebration, takes place the morning of July 7. Other events associated with the fiesta include the comparsa, a parade featuring large puppets carried by the marchers, as well as numerous parties and spontaneous gatherings." }, { "docid": "D3519610#0", "title": "https://www.mybucketlistevents.com/product/pamplona-running-bulls-mid-festival-tour-package/\n2018 Running of the Bulls Mid-Festival Package", "text": "2018 Running of the Bulls Mid-Festival Package2018 Running of the Bulls Mid-Festival Package (July 8-12)Click here to book for 2018What’s different about the Mid-Festival Dates?

Running of the Bulls History and Facts Bullfighting has a long history, dating back to veneration of the animal in ancient Greece. It is a traditional sporting spectacle in Spain, Portugal, southern France, and many Latin American countries. Bullfighting as a spectator sport in Pamplona dates to about the eighth century. The spectacle of the Running of the Bulls 2018 in Pamplona dates to about 1385 when the bulls used in the fight were driven through town to the bullring, and young daredevil boys would dash in front of them. In 1591, the city's three important summer events—the traditional bullfighting festival, the livestock fair, and the Fiesta de San Fermin—were combined and are still celebrated for a week beginning on July 6. In 1776, a fence was constructed along the route to make the bull running safer for spectators. The tradition of Running with the Bulls remained a fairly regional phenomenon until the town's most famous visitor, Ernest Hemingway, published his novel The Sun Also Rises in 1926.

It had been so named by Sebastian Vizcaíño some 60 years after its discovery by Cabrillo in 1542. From the time of the first march of the Portolá expedition, it had been warmly regarded as a likely spot for mission settlement. The padres, however, were 13 years in California before an opportunity for founding a mission at Santa Barbara occurred. By then, Governor Felipe de Neve was their arch enemy, who openly preferred civil colonists to mission neophytes. Nevertheless, he had agreed at a meeting in San Gabriel to allow the fathers to place a mission at San Buenaventura and at Santa Barbara, although his own interest was in the new presidio he planned to establish on the latter site. It was agreed that all three establishments would be instituted by one expedition. The padres and their military escort started out from San Gabriel in the spring of 1782, but circumstances prevented the governor from participating in the founding of San Buenaventura. When the governor finally met the expedition at Santa Barbara, the new presidio was quickly established with Father Serra an eager participant in preparing the military chapel.

Thousands of people congregate in the square awaiting the mayor’s official announcement that the fiestas have begun, a rocket is launched and the partying begins. History of the Running of the Bulls The history of the bullrunning in Pamplona is not clear. There is evidence of the festival from as far back as the 13th century when it seems the events took place in October as this coincided with the festival of San Fermín on October 10th. It seems that the modern day celebration has evolved from this as well as individual commercial and bullfighting fiestas which can be traced back to the 14th century. Save Save Over many years the mainly religious festival of San Fermín was diluted by music, dancing, bullfights and markets such that the Pamplona Council proposed that the whole event be moved to July 7th when the weather is far more conducive to such a celebration. To this day San Fermin remains a fixed date every year with the first bullrun at 8am on July 7th and the last at the same time on July 14th. Save ORDER KINDLE TRAVEL GUIDEThe joining together of the religious, commercial and bullfighting festivals and the move to July 7th led to the first official celebration of Sanfermines in 1591. This inaugural fiesta was a low key affair in comparison to the modern day running of the bulls as it only lasted two days although there was much merriment involving music, a procession and a bullfight. Dancing and fireworks became features of the festival over the next few years and the event was extended to July 10th." }, { "docid": "D3175591#0", "title": "http://www.hermitary.com/literature/giono.html\n.", "text": "\"ARTICLES: HOUSE OF LORE & LITERATUREThe Hermit in Lore: Jean Giono's The Man Who Planted Trees. Jean Giono (1895-1970) is perhaps best known to English-language readers for his tale The Man Who Planted Trees, though it was a late work coming after establishing a strong reputation in Europe as a master craftsman of stories that thrive on the sketch or incident. Uniformly, this glimpse of human character in his stories was realist or naturalistic; he was noted for his insightful portraits of fallible humanity. So The Man Who Planted Trees, a triumph of courage, hope, and understanding, offers a different expression of Giono, but it is not so much out of character with his previous works as much as offering a revelation of Giono's mature philosophy of life, a philosophy that can be warmly recommended to all. The Solitude of Compassion It is worth briefly exploring the art of Giono's fiction in order to fully appreciate The Man Who Planted Trees, and this exploration need not detain one further than looking at a representative example of his work, such as the collection of short stories titled The Solitude of Compassion ( Solitude de la piti é ), the first book the English-language translator of it read and still his favorite. The title ( The Solitude of Compassion, which is the title of the first story) is intriguing enough. The virtue of compassion is very often solitary not because it goes unrewarded but because it militates against social instinct. This is an important theme for Giono: human beings functioning in society will often be cruel, indifferent, rapacious. Giono portrays all of these capacities in his fiction. But as individuals removed from the conventions and contrivances of society, especially (or specifically) returned to a relationship with nature, human beings can recover their inherent potential for sympathy, compassion, and balance." }, { "docid": "D390445#0", "title": "https://prezi.com/lzrknyjh1ndh/the-mesosphere/\nThe Mesosphere", "text": "\"Public & reusable Create your own Make a copy Share Embed Like The Mesosphereby Alycia & Haleyby Haley Staffonon 23 October 2012Tweet Comments ( 3)Katie Howell · 480 days agocool Riley Alvord · 33 days ago You didn't say how hot it was.eric campos · 19 days agogay Please log in to add your comment.

It had been over a month in covering the more than 400 miles from San Diego. Once ashore, the passengers, including Father Juan Crespi with Father Junípero Serra at their head, were surrounded by the men of Governor Gaspar de Portolá's land expedition. The latter group, which left the southern mission after the sailing of the San Antonio, had arrived more than a week before. During their wait, Portolá realized that he had camped on the shores of Monterey on his previous journey without recognizing the harbor. Establishment of Mission San Carlos de Borromeo de Carmelo Mission San Carlos de Borromeo de Carmelo was founded on June 3, 1770 by Father Junipero Serra, Presidente of the California Missions Chain. It was the 2nd mission in the 21 mission chain in Alta California. It was named for Saint Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan. The original location was at the Royal Presidio of Monterey, located \"\"two gunshots from the beach\"\" and adjacent to Lake El Estero in Monterey. The original location of the Mission and Presidio is now the site of the San Carlos Cathedral." }, { "docid": "D1805067#0", "title": "http://www.mrgarretson.com/missions/Ines/SantaInes.html\n.", "text": "Mission Santa Ines was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, Father-Presidente of the Mission Chain after Father Fermin Lasuen's death..

Spain stages more than 3,000 fiestas (festivals) each year but the 7 days of bull-running are the favourite in terms of spectacle and excitement. After the daybreak of July 7th, runners (mainly young men) gather at the bottom of Santo Domingo, which is the starting line. They crowd together and sing to the image of San Fermin which is placed in a niche on a wall. The song goes: \"\"A San Fermín pedimos, por ser nuestro patrón, nos guíe en el encierro dándonos su bendición\"\" (\"\"We ask San Fermín, as our Patron, to guide us through the Bull Run and give us his blessing. \"\") Then, as a rocket goes off, a number of fighting bulls are let out onto the streets. A second rocket is then let off to make sure everyone knows the bulls are loose in the street. The bulls run along the narrow street 825 metres (half a mile) to a bull ring. The runners dash along in front of the bulls, aiming to feel the breath of the bull on their backs, getting as close as possible - all whilst trying to avoid getting gored by their sharp horns. The supposed way to do this is to start off slowly when the bulls are quite a distance behind." } ]

Pet MD is here to help you on your way. When and What Do Ferrets Eat? To begin, ferrets have a high metabolic rate, so they will eat around 8 to 10 small meals daily. And being strict carnivores, like cats, they need a high protein food source. Food pellets are an excellent source of protein for ferrets, which can be found at your veterinarian's office or the local pet store. You will need to read the ingredient list on the packet to make sure that the pellets are made of the most nutritious ingredients. As lists go, the ingredients are listed in order from highest to lowest quantity. As such, chicken or lamb should always be the first ingredient listed for a good ferret food. Additionally, avoid foods that include grain or corn." } ]

It’s up to you to safeguard your ferret and protect him from eating the wrong thing. Dairy Ferrets can’t digest dairy products and should never eat them. Avoid giving your pet milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream or any other type of dairy-based food. Dairy can give a ferret diarrhea, resulting in dehydration and possibly even death. The American Ferret Association warns that dairy products and other foods high in complex carbohydrates not only cause intestinal upset, they may also trigger cancer in some cases.

When picking out a litter for your ferret, think of his health first and make sure the product is safe for ferret use. A lot of ferrets like to \"\"snorkel\"\" in their litter.

Answer by Susie Dresh Confidence votes 23.7KThe black footed ferret protects itself by spending most of the time underground in its home or prairie dog burrows and usually only comes out at night. The black-footed ferret is very secretive and is nocturnal, so that few people have ever seen them in the wild. Most of its time is below ground in prairie dog burrows, and usually spends only a few minutes above ground each day for hunting or finding new burrows or mates. In burrows it sleeps, stores its food, avoids predators and harsh weather, and takes care of it's young. Their worst enemy is man, and they are losing that battle. As we plow more lands and kill prairie dogs, the ferrets begin to die because we cut off their main food source. The black footed ferret is making a comeback now because of captive breeding programs, several colonies are roaming the plains again.14 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Iron is an essential bioelement for life; however, free ionic iron is toxic and must be correctly stored inside the cell. Ferritin is the main protein that stores safely the iron inside the cell. This protein is expressed in all the organism cells. Tissue ferritin (ferritin that is inside the tissues) is composed by 24 subunits of two types of ferritins named: L chain ( light, 19 k Da, chromosome 19) and H chains ( heavy, 21 k Da, chromosome 11). The proportion of each subunit varies according to the need for storage and homeostasis of the cell. These subunits form a spherical cavity which stores the free iron (Fe 2+ ) and saves it therein in the form of Fe 3+, through the action of the H-ferritin ferroxidase activity. Thus, ferritin consists of a soluble protein (apoferritin) and an inner layer composed of ferric hydrophosphate. Plasma or serum ferritin, is secreted by all ferritin-producer cells and unlike tissue ferritin it is partially glycosylated and nearly completely iron-free. Serum ferritin is currently regarded as the main test for deficiency states or body iron overload, since its value is proportional to iron stores, indicating the amount of iron available in the body." } ]

The impact of physical activity on micronutrient requirements is a topic of tremendous interest to the lay public, but the interest is in sharp contrast to data from well-designed studies. Research in this area is poorly controlled for nutritional status of the participants, standardized exercise protocols, markers and cutoff points for measurement of micronutrient status, and variability in subject characteristics. The micronutrient status of women in the general population is of concern, but it is not clear that physical activity increases the requirement of most micronutrients. When dietary intake is adequate, the results of most studies are either equivocal or show no benefit to performance of supplementation. In the few instances where exercise does appear to increase an individual’s requirement, the increase can be obtained within the additional calories required for energy balance. In the absence of consistent data, micronutrient supplementation is often indiscriminate without regard to nutrient status. Because iron is such a key nutrient for physical activity, and the status in women is often compromised, it serves as a useful example of how current research limits the ability to make recommendations regarding the impact of exercise on micronutrients requirements in women. With the recent recognition of the importance of physical activity to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases through the life span, more attention should be focused on the impact of exercise on micronutrient requirements, especially in the context of weight loss regimens." }, { "docid": "D2784297#0", "title": "https://www.askdrsears.com/topics/feeding-eating/family-nutrition/iron/my-doctor-measured-my-hemoglobin-and-its-normal-could-i-still-be-anemic\nMy Doctor Measured my Hemoglobin and itâs Normal.

It’s possible to have a normal hemoglobin, that is, a normal amount of iron in the blood, yet have vital tissues throughout your body deficient in iron. Some people have symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia, even with a normal hemoglobin. To really be sure you have enough iron in your body, your doctor may send you to the laboratory to measure the serum ferritin, the level of iron in blood that accurately reflects iron stores.

Thalassemia is one such disease but it manifests at an early age, like 5-6months of age, and hence don't fret about it. There is another variety of thalassemia called alpha thalassemia and another called beta trait, which donot clinically manifest at all and only on a blood testing they might become evident as a low Hb level with a normal iron level. But that doesnot cause any symptoms whatsoever and is completely benign. It is a rare disease in people of American origin, and is mostly found in Ashkenazi Jews and people of Mediterranean origin. The only problem with it is if you marry a guy who has the same thing your kids may get the deadly form of thalassemia. However I repeat again that it is very rare that you have the thalassemia trait.

I don’t get what we’re supposed to get out of comparing the TIBC and ferritin level in these two anemias. A. Yes – both iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease are technically iron deficiencies (if you equate “iron deficiency” with a low serum iron). IDA is a plain old iron deficiency – that’s the only problem. Everything else would work just fine – it’s just that the supply of iron is low. In ACD, however, there’s a ton of stuff going on (and I don’t think we really completely understand everything yet either). The iron seems to be absorbed okay, for the most part, but it can’t get from the storage forms (ferritin, hemosiderin) to the red cells.

Recommendations to Prevent and Control Iron Deficiency in the United States Summary Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency. Its prevalence is highest among young children and women of childbearing age (particularly pregnant women). In children, iron deficiency causes developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, and in pregnant women, it increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby. In the past three decades, increased iron intake among infants has resulted in a decline in childhood iron-deficiency anemia in the United States. As a consequence, the use of screening tests for anemia has become a less efficient means of detecting iron deficiency in some populations. For women of childbearing age, iron deficiency has remained prevalent. To address the changing epidemiology of iron deficiency in the United States, CDC staff in consultation with experts developed new recommendations for use by primary health-care providers to prevent, detect, and treat iron deficiency." }, { "docid": "D2820913#0", "title": "http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/ferritin-test/basics/results/PRC-20014449\nOverview", "text": "Print Overview A ferritin test measures the amount of ferritin in your blood.

If a ferritin test shows higher than normal levels, it could indicate that you have a condition that causes your body to store too much iron. It could also point to liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory conditions or hyperthyroidism. Some types of cancer also may cause your blood ferritin level to be high. Why it's done You may have a ferritin test for several reasons: To diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor may suggest a ferritin test if other blood tests have shown that the level of oxygen-carrying protein in your red blood cells (hemoglobin) is low, or if the proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component in your blood (hematocrit) is low.

There are diseases where the iron is not incorporated into the hemoglobin and hence the iron levels maybe normal or high but the Hb may be low still. Thalassemia is one such disease but it manifests at an early age, like 5-6months of age, and hence don't fret about it. There is another variety of thalassemia called alpha thalassemia and another called beta trait, which donot clinically manifest at all and only on a blood testing they might become evident as a low Hb level with a normal iron level. But that doesnot cause any symptoms whatsoever and is completely benign. It is a rare disease in people of American origin, and is mostly found in Ashkenazi Jews and people of Mediterranean origin. The only problem with it is if you marry a guy who has the same thing your kids may get the deadly form of thalassemia. However I repeat again that it is very rare that you have the thalassemia trait. Most likely it is stress induced and lack of iron containing foods in your diet, lack of iron tablets and blood loss through menstrual periods.

Tagged Under: Ferritin Advertisement Ferritin refers to a type of protein that is present in all living organisms which stores iron in them for later use. The iron present in a living organism is bound to ferritin in the body, which also regulates the iron levels in the body. The amount of this protein present in the blood is a direct measure of the level of iron present in the body. Therefore, it can be said that low ferritin levels in the body signifies iron deficiency, whereas, excess levels reflect an iron overdose. When the body begins to display any of the symptoms of an overdose or deficiency of iron, iron tests are recommended, and in some cases you may be asked to undergo a ferritin test. The ferritin levels reflected in the test will help understand the cause of any condition that may affect the body.

You may be aware that iron is an important mineral for hair, but it is interesting to know why this is the case. When we talk about the significance of iron in relation to hair, we are specifically referring to ferritin, the name given to the amount of iron stored in our bodies. Often patients will come to us for consultation having already had blood tests, and been told their iron level is ‘normal’. There are two points to note here; firstly, the doctor may have simply tested the iron and not the ferritin, and secondly, even if the ferritin is within the ‘normal’ range, the level may still not be adequate for optimum hair growth. A person can have a low ferritin level without being anaemic. A ferritin reading towards the lower end of the range will almost certainly have a detrimental effect on the hair. This is because it has a direct effect on the hair growth cycle. Hair follicles do not continually produce hairs throughout our lifetime, but rather they go through phases of growing a hair and resting. When a follicle is in the ‘growing’ phase, this is called anagen, and when it is in the ‘resting’ phase, this is called telogen." }, { "docid": "D3482382#0", "title": "https://www.livestrong.com/article/461465-can-iron-deficiency-link-to-liver-problems/\nCan Iron Deficiency Link to Liver Problems?", "text": "Can Iron Deficiency Link to Liver Problems?by AMBER KEEFER Aug. 14, 2017The body needs iron to form hemoglobin -- a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues. About one-third of iron absorbed into the body is stored in the liver, spleen and bone marrow in compounds known as ferritin and hemosiderin, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Although iron deficiency can lead to health problems, iron overload is more likely to increase the risk of infection and cause damage to the liver. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Iron Metabolism Iron, which is absorbed into the body through cells in the intestines, is present in a wide variety of foods. A protein known as ferritin receives iron from the gastrointestinal tract and then stores it until the body needs more iron. At that point, ferritin releases iron to the protein transferrin, which transports iron to the blood. Both iron and transferrin are used to produce hemoglobin, which the body stores in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Iron Deficiency vs. Iron Overload Signs that you may have an iron deficiency include swelling of the tongue, mouth ulcers and brittle nails. Fatigue and pale skin are other common symptoms of anemia -- a condition where your body has fewer than the normal number of red blood cells.

An infection in the uterus can cause the uterus to contract, which in turn may cause the amniotic sac to break early. This is called “preterm premature rupture of membranes” or PPROM . In cases of PPROM that are not caused by infection, there is a high risk of subsequent infection for both mom and baby. If you suspect that your amniotic sac has broken (commonly known as “your water breaking”) call you doctor immediately so that specific antibiotics can be given intravenously as early as possible. Common causes of infection that result in preterm labor include bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection, group B streptococcus infection, and sexually transmitted diseases.

It acts like biological glue, attaching the fetal sac to the uterine lining. f FN normally is present in cervico-vaginal secretions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy and again at the end of the third trimester. f FN usually cannot be detected between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Health care providers perform the f FN test on women between 24 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. The presence of f FN during these weeks, along with symptoms of preterm labor, suggests that the \"\"glue\"\" may be disintegrating ahead of schedule and alerts health care providers to a possibility of premature labor and delivery. The sample of cervico-vaginal secretions is collected during a speculum examination. Results usually are available within 24 hours. The result is either positive (f FN is present) or negative (f FN is not present)." }, { "docid": "D848611#0", "title": "http://www.geisingermedicallabs.com/catalog/details.cfm?tid=873\nGeisinger Medical Laboratories/Geisinger Proven Diagnostics Test Catalog", "text": "You are here: Geisinger Medical Laboratories > Test Catalog Geisinger Medical Laboratories/Geisinger Proven Diagnostics Test Catalog Test Search: Test Name: OR Test Code OR CPT Code: FETAL FIBRONECTINSPECIMEN COLLECTIONTest code: FFNSpecimen type: Cervicovaginal secretions from posterior fornix of the vagina or from ectocervical region of the external cervix.

This article was last modifiedon November 16, 2017. Pregnancy is the period of time when a fetus develops inside a woman's uterus and ends with the birth of the infant. There are a variety of clinical laboratory tests typically used prior to and throughout pregnancies. The tests provide useful information from the time pregnancy is first considered through the initial days of the newborn's life. The purposes of prenatal tests are to screen for and diagnose any existing problems that may affect the mother's or baby's health, identify and address problems as they arise, and assess the risk of a baby having a chromosomal or genetic disorder. The tests generally require just a small sample of easily obtained blood, urine, or cervical cells. Some of these tests are performed prior to a pregnancy and at specified times throughout the pregnancy. Others are ordered as needed to detect and address conditions or problems that arise during pregnancy. Still others are offered to women who have increased risks because of their age or other factors and, finally, certain tests are selectively chosen based on the personal and family medical histories of the woman and her partner." }, { "docid": "D706842#0", "title": "http://textbookofbacteriology.net/antiimmuno.html\n.", "text": "\"Looking for the most current news, updates, and articles relating to microbiology, go to The American Society for Microbiology educational website Microbe World .

A second, specific immune response is soon encountered by invasive bacteria. The adaptive immune forces of antibody-mediated immunity (AMI) and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) are brought into play during the presentation of bacterial antigens to the immunological system. Although AMI is the principal immunological response effective against extracellular bacteria, the major defensive and protective response against intracellular bacteria is CMI. On epithelial surfaces, the main specific immune defense of the host is the protection afforded by secretory Ig A antibodies. Once the epithelial surfaces have been penetrated, however, the immune defenses of AMI and CMI are encountered. If there is a way for an organism to successfully bypass or overcome the immunological defenses, then some bacterial pathogen has probably \"\"discovered\"\" it." }, { "docid": "D2910169#0", "title": "http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Pregnancy-Age-35/How-many-cm-dilated-before-youre-admitted/show/1147938\nHow many cm dilated before you're admitted?mommyin10 Jan 14, 2010", "text": "\"How many cm dilated before you're admitted?mommyin10 Jan 14, 2010Hi.

These tests can be performed before you have any signs of preterm labor or they may be used after labor has begun. When a baby is born before the 37th week of pregnancy, it is called a preterm delivery. Some preterm births happen on their own -- a mother goes into labor and her baby comes early. In other cases, problems with the pregnancy prompt doctors to deliver a baby earlier than planned. About three quarters of preterm births are spontaneous and about one quarter occur because of medical complications. Overall, about one in eight pregnant women deliver early.

Early ideas for flue gas desulfurization were established in England around 1850. With the construction of large-scale power plants in England in the 1920s, the problems associated with large volumes of SO 2 from a single site began to concern the public. The SO 2 emissions problem did not receive much attention until 1929, when the House of Lords upheld the claim of a landowner against the Barton Electricity Works of the Manchester Corporation for damages to his land resulting from SO 2 emissions. Shortly thereafter, a press campaign was launched against the erection of power plants within the confines of London." } ]

The severity depends on many factors like percentage of sulfur in the fuel, excess air, moisture in flue gas, etc. Many options are available to contain cold end corrosion Boilers generating steam for use in power generation and process power plants use different type of fuels. These fuels contain sulphur to differing percentages. The higher the percentage of sulphur, the higher will be the risk of cold end corrosion in the boiler. The sulphur in the fuel during combustion gets converted to sulphur dioxide. Depending upon the other impurities present in the fuel and excess air levels, some portion of the sulphur dioxide gets converted to sulphur trioxide. The presence of moisture in the flue gas due to moisture in fuel and air, sulphur dioxide, and trioxide, combines with moisture and forms sulphuric acid and sulphuric acid. These acids condense from around 115 degree centigrade to slightly higher than 160 degrees, depending upon the concentration of SO 3 and water-vapour.

Discussion with the teacher and / or reference book- or web-based research follows, and indicates that a surprising number of activities have a link to limestone in some way. Context This activity follows on well from The chemistry of limestone which points out some of the uses of limestone and products made from it. Teaching points The format is quite flexible. One approach is to ask the pupils to log and then report their activities from getting up in the morning until leaving for school. The degree of formality is a matter for the teacher." }, { "docid": "D3452976#0", "title": "http://www.eurobitume.eu/hse/faqs/\nFAQs", "text": "FAQs What is the difference between bitumen and coal tar (or tar sands)? Bitumen and coal tar, or tar as it is commonly known, are two very different materials. Firstly, they are produced in different ways: bitumen is distilled from crude oil, using a number of different processes to produce bitumen products with special characteristics. Coal tar is made by processing coal at very high temperatures (pyrolysis). Coal tar was commonly used for road building and waterproofing up to the middle of the 20th century, but was gradually phased out and replaced by bitumen during the 1950s. Second of all, bitumen and tar have very different characteristics. Although they are similar in appearance and in use profile, the chemical composition of coal tar is very different from bitumen, and this has a huge effect on the nature of hazard that coal tar presents to the user: coal tar is classified as carcinogenic, whereas bitumen is not. Tar sands - also known as cold oil sands or bitumen sands - contain naturally occurring heavy crude oil. This can be extracted using a number of recently-developed technical processes, and then refined just the same as crude oil extracted from a more traditional drilling process. Should the general public be concerned about any hazards from bitumen?" }, { "docid": "D428034#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drywall\nDrywall", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Drywall is delivered to a building site on a flatbed truck and unloaded with a forked material handler crane.

Here's what I got for you from one of the site: A brazier is a container for fire, generally taking the form of an upright standing or hanging metal bowl or box. Used for holding burning coal as well as fires, a brazier allows for a source of light, heat, or cooking. Braziers have been reported in many early archaeological excavations, for example the Nimrud brazier recently recovered by the Iraqi National Museum dating back to at least 824. The brazier used in the Japanese tea ceremony is called a hibachi. Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazier Nonoy M · 10 years ago0 0 Comment A brazier is a container for fire!

It has essentially nothing to do with whether it is fuelled by coal, gas or uranium. However, currently operating nuclear plants often do have slightly lower thermal efficiency than coal counterparts of similar age, and coal plants discharge some waste heat with combustion gases, whereas nuclear plants rely on water. Nuclear power plants have greater flexibility in location than coal-fired plants due to fuel logistics, giving them more potential for their siting to be determined by cooling considerations. The most common types of nuclear power plants use water for cooling in two ways: To convey heat from the reactor core to the steam turbines. To remove and dump surplus heat from this steam circuit. ( In any steam/ Rankine cycle plant such as present-day coal and nuclear plants there is a loss of about two-thirds of the energy due to the intrinsic limitations of turning heat into mechanical energy. ) The bigger the temperature difference between the internal heat source and the external environment where the surplus heat is dumped, the more efficient is the process in achieving mechanical work – in this case, turning a generator a. Hence the desirability of having a high temperature internally and a low temperature in the external environment.

Photo courtesy of Eco Power Solutions. By Kevin Crapsey, Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Development, Eco Power Solutions Since the passage of the Clean Air Act, fossil-fired power generators have fueled a robust market for technologies to address nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) emissions. The industry estimated in 2009 that it had spent $75 billion to comply with the Clean Air Interstate Rule alone. A number of different technologies have succeeded in addressing one or both of these pollutants, including flue gas desulfurizers (FGDs), selective catalytic reduction (SCR), selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) and sorbents (materials used to absorb gases and liquids). While this market addressed the needs of power generators in the early 1990s, it may be time to consider the needs of 2013 and beyond. As the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) noted under its Integrated Environmental Controls program (Program 75), \"\"fossil fuel-burning power plants also need lower-cost and better-performing sorbents and technologies than those currently available. \"\" One of key reasons to review emissions control options is that NOx and SOx are not the only pollutants that are regulated. Gas and coal power generation plants must address emissions to remain competitive due to additional regulations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The introductions of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) and upgrades to the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules need to be tied into NOx and SOx control strategies. Traditional emission control technologies only capture one or two pollutants at a time, meaning that addressing the full complement of regulated emissions requires capital expenses for multiple technologies and excess space to install." }, { "docid": "D1696577#0", "title": "https://thinkglobalgreen.org/COAL.html\n.", "text": "\"COALFor every ton of coal burned, approximately 2.5 tons of CO2 are produced.

The model for premises cabling standards was AT&T’s design guidelines for communications cabling developed originally from a 1982 survey of 79 businesses located in New York, California, Florida and Arkansas involving over 10,000 cable runs. At the time, cabling was used mainly for telephones to wiring closets and PBXes (Private Branch Exchanges or local phone switches), but it established a baseline for cable length requirements for commercial customers that was used in creating TIA-568 and equivalent international standards. The AT&T survey determined that 99.9% of all stations were less than 300 feet (about 100 meters) from the wiring closet, so that became the goal of the 568 design. Much of the terminology from the telephone industry also carried over into the development of structured cabling standards.

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. First developed in the 1970s, fiber-optic communication systems have revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. Because of its advantages over electrical transmission, optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world. The process of communicating using fiber-optics involves the following basic steps: Creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal. Applications Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Due to much lower attenuation and interference, optical fiber has large advantages over existing copper wire in long-distance and high-demand applications. However, infrastructure development within cities was relatively difficult and time-consuming, and fiber-optic systems were complex and expensive to install and operate. Due to these difficulties, fiber-optic communication systems have primarily been installed in long-distance applications, where they can be used to their full transmission capacity, offsetting the increased cost." }, { "docid": "D1771501#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/How-do-fiber-optic-cables-work\nHow do fiber optic cables work?", "text": "\"John O’Gara, I spent 10 years in sales and instruction of optical fiber Answered Dec 20, 2016 · Author has 533 answers and 165.2k answer views Fiber optic cables work in a very simple way.

( slightly larger than a human hair) Each of those glass fibers are coated with a plastic covering to prevent damage to the glass. Then the coated fibers are bunched together and put into a cable. A cable can consist of two or more optical fibers. I have seen cables with up to 144 fibers in them. Since I have been retired, I’m sure that number has probably changed.

This is very common in young women but can remain in some women even after menopause. An asymmetric density means that there is something on the mammogram that does not look quite normal. The usual recommendation is spot mammogram compression and possibly ultrasound." } ]

Lumpectomy Results When Should Someone Seek Medical Care After a Lumpectomy? What Is a Lumpectomy? Readers Comments 8 Share Your Story Lumpectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing a suspected malignant (cancerous) tumor or other abnormal tissue and a small portion of the surrounding breast tissue. This tissue is then tested to determine if it contains cancerous cells. A number of lymph nodes may also be removed to test them for cancerous cells ( sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection). If cancerous cells are discovered in the tissue sample or nodes, additional surgery or treatment may be necessary. Women who undergo a lumpectomy normally receive radiation therapy (RT) for about six weeks following the procedure to kill any cancer cells that may have been missed with the removal of the tumor. Lumpectomy is also referred to as partial mastectomy, wedge resection, breast-sparing therapy, breast-conserving therapy, breast-conserving surgery, excision biopsy, tylectomy, segmental excision, and quadrantectomy." }, { "docid": "D1000192#0", "title": "http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/testing/types/biopsy\nBiopsy", "text": "\"Biopsy Save as Favorite Sign in to receive recommendations ( Learn more)Imaging studies such as mammogram and MRI, often along with physical exams of the breast, can lead doctors to suspect that a person has breast cancer. However, the only way to know for sure is to take a sample of tissue from the suspicious area and examine it under a microscope. A biopsy is a small operation done to remove tissue from an area of concern in the body. If your doctor feels anything suspicious in your breast, or sees something suspicious on an imaging study, he or she will order a biopsy. The tissue sample is examined by a pathologist (a doctor who specializes in diagnosing disease) to see whether or not cancer cells are present. If cancer is present, the pathologist can then look at the cancer’s characteristics. The biopsy will result in a report that lays out all of the pathologist’s findings. Biopsy is usually a simple procedure. In the United States, only about 20% of women who have biopsies turn out to have cancer. By contrast, in Sweden, where cost accounting is much stricter and only the most suspicious lesions are biopsied, 80% of biopsies turn out to be cancerous (malignant)." }, { "docid": "D1628341#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/can-vyvanse-cause-gynecomastia\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Can Vyvanse Cause Gynecomastia", "text": "\"Top 30 Doctor insights on: Can Vyvanse Cause Gynecomastia Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Jack Hinkle2 doctors agreed:1 Can orchitis cause someone to develop gynecomastia?

Dr. Lee answers questions about the concept of breast density and what women should know. To help improve breast cancer detection and prevention, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently signed legislation that requires radiologists to inform women if dense breast tissue is found on a mammogram. The law, which went into effect this month, is raising awareness among women about this topic. In an interview, we discussed the concept of breast density with diagnostic radiologist Carol H. Lee. Dr. Lee suggests that if you find out you have dense breasts, you should discuss potential next steps with your doctor.

While the majority of women undergo a single examination that involves bilateral mammographic views, an important subgroup of women in whom results are abnormal or ambiguous undergo supplemental imaging, clinical evaluation, and/or biopsy ( 1, 2 ). This additional testing has potentially far-reaching implications for the well-being of patients ( 3 – 5 ), healthcare access ( 6, 7 ), and the overall costs of the screening process ( 1, 8 – 11 ). The viability of screening mammography may depend on the economics of breast imaging service provision. Increasing demand for mammography may outpace current levels of technical and professional staffing and result in access problems ( 12 – 14 ). Recent cost analyses of the mammographic screening process have been performed in U. S. health maintenance organizations ( 6) and in population-based screening programs outside the United States ( 7, 8 ), and costs have been estimated by using statistical models ( 10 ). Studies of resource utilization and costs associated with the provision of screening mammography to the community, the predominant model for the delivery of mammographic screening in the United States, are limited ( 1 ), and the literature is outdated ( 9, 15 ).

We all know what fat is (unfortunately! ); fibroglandular tissue in the breast is the milk glands and ducts, muscle, and connective tissue that make up the rest of the breast, giving it structure and purpose. Breast density is determined by the ratio of fibroglandular tissue to fat; the more fat, the less dense the breast.

If you ever used credit, you have a FICO score, which is a numeric value assigned to your credit habits and history by a company called FICO, or The Fair Isaac Corporation. With mortgage interest rates at historic lows, refinancing your mortgage could save you thousands of dollars in interest over the life of your loan. A lower rate means lower monthly payments, or you might want to refinance to shorten the term of your loan. Your FICO score plays a crucial role in determining just how much money you’ll save. The better your score, the better the interest rate you’ll get on your refinance loan. Refinancing Process When you refinance your home, you replace your current home loan with a new home loan. The new loan pays the balance on your old loan. The process is similar to the one you went through to get your initial mortgage. You apply for a loan, which is based on the balance of the current loan." }, { "docid": "D1125652#0", "title": "http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/Authorized-Users-and-Credit-Scoring/td-p/1167913\nAuthorized Users and Credit Scoring?", "text": "\"Previous1 2 3 … 6Next Mr Credit Established Contributor 01-18-2012 02:10 AMAuthorized Users and Credit Scoring?

Marty Minchin January 9th, 2018While shopping for a car can be an exhilarating experience, you may be wondering whether your credit score will impact your ability to buy a vehicle. The better question is whether your credit score will impact your eligibility for an auto loan. That’s where your credit score really counts. While there’s no minimum credit score qualifying for an auto loan — each lender is different and some are willing to take on more risk than others —your credit score will be a factor in how much you can borrow and the terms you’ll be eligible for. So let’s find out what credit score is needed to buy a car. Almost anyone can buy a car these days, as subprime auto lenders are open to lending to buyers with low credit scores. Statistics show that loan lengths are getting longer and loan balances are getting higher, which indicate that lenders are stretching out vehicle loan terms to make more buyers eligible. However, the credit bureau Experian reports that the bulk of the auto lending market is borrowers with credit scores over 600. As with any major purchase, buyers should carefully consider the financial commitment they are making before signing for an auto loan — even if it looks like they can afford it." }, { "docid": "D325738#0", "title": "http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/I-am-unsure-what-Introductory-0-APR-really-mean/td-p/625431\nI am unsure what Introductory 0% APR really mean.", "text": "Forum Topicsmy FICO® Forums Sign In Helpmy FICO® Forums Types of Credit Credit Cards I am unsure what Introductory 0% APR really mean.

Well, with regard to credit, foreclosure is a very serious delinquency, and one that will stay on your credit report for up to seven years (typically from the date of filing). The filing date for a foreclosure may be the Notice of Default (NOD) in a non-judicial state such as California or the Lis Penden (written notice of pending lawsuit) in a judicial state like New York.

The amount it will drop will vary based on your credit history. If your credit score was essentially flawless, you’ll see a larger drop. If your credit score was already dinged up, the drop won’t be as severe. Essentially, two borrowers with different credit scores hit with foreclosure will end up in similar places." } ]

The seller's representative (also known as a listing agent or seller's agent) is hired by and represents the seller. All fiduciary duties are owed to the seller, meaning this person’s job is to get the best price and terms for the seller. The agency relationship usually is created by a signed listing contract. The buyer's representative (also known as a buyer’s agent) is hired by prospective buyers to and works in the buyer's best interest throughout the transaction. The buyer can pay the agent directly through a negotiated fee, or the buyer's rep may be paid by the seller or through a commission split with the seller’s agent.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is intended to protect the retirement assets of American workers by setting minimum standards for pension plans in the private sector. For employers that maintain pension plans, ERISA sets certain standards such as how long you must work before you have a \"\"non-forfeitable\"\" interest in your pension and whether your spouse has a right to claim at least some of your pension upon your death. While the law doesn't compel businesses to provide a pension, it does require those that do to meet certain minimum standards. Generally, ERISA doesn't dictate how much money should be put into a pension plan. Q: What are defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans? There are generally two main kinds of retirement plans. A defined benefit plan promises you a specific amount at retirement, paid monthly. The plan may state this promised benefit as an exact dollar amount, or (more commonly) it may calculate a benefit through a plan formula that considers factors such as salary and years of service. A defined contribution plan, meanwhile, doesn't promise a specific benefit amount at retirement." }, { "docid": "D1576667#0", "title": "https://www.irmi.com/articles/expert-commentary/fiduciary-liability-basics/\nFiduciary Liability Basics", "text": "\"×20 Ways To Improve D&ODownload this FREE REPORT from IRMI to learn the top 20 ways to address basic directors and officers (D&O) coverage considerations, defense provisions, exclusions, excess coverage, and coordination with other insurance.

Background of the fiduciary rule. Few retirement plan participants are aware their trusted advisors may not be \"\"fiduciaries.\"\" The securities industry has done a brilliant job of obfuscating the difference between the fiduciary standard, which carries a legal obligation to act in the best interest of the client, and the much lower \"\"suitability\"\" standard, which brokers and insurance agents owe to plan participants. Plan sponsors historically have not understood this difference, either. And brokers tend to trivialize this vital distinction by glossing over it. It’s only when a plan sponsor is sued by a plan participant (which is happening with increasing frequency) over the investment options in a retirement plan that the harsh reality of this difference sets in. While true fiduciaries – which include all registered investment advisors – accept the liability for the selection and monitoring of investment options in a retirement plan, brokers and insurance companies beat a hasty retreat if legal proceedings are initiated." }, { "docid": "D2101568#0", "title": "http://enrichmentjournal.ag.org/201002/ejonline_201002_Pastor_Confid_.cfm\nPastoral Confidentiality: An Ethical and Legal Responsibility", "text": "Back Table of Contents for this issue. Pastoral Confidentiality: An Ethical and Legal Responsibility The pastor’s obligation to maintain confidentiality is not only a moral obligation, but also often a legal one. By David O. Middlebrook Confidentiality places a duty on clergy not to disclose information shared with them in private. Confidentiality is also the ethical and often legal responsibility to safeguard congregation members from unauthorized disclosures of information given in the context of a confidential pastor-parishioner relationship. Historically, pastors have had only a moral obligation to maintain the confidentiality of information given to them by congregation members. In recent years, however, people have brought an increased number of lawsuits against pastors for invasion of privacy and other tort claims arising out of the disclosure of confidential information by a pastor or other church official. The result of these suits has brought recognition that the obligation to maintain confidentiality is not only a moral obligation, but also often a legal one. This article will focus on pastoral confidentiality as it applies in a variety of church settings. Church Board Confidentiality In most legal relationships or transactions, we deal with one another with what the law generally calls an “arms-length” status.

Edison International ERISA statute of limitations fiduciary duty Mutual Fund DUTY OF PRUDENCEIssues Does ERISA time-bar claims brought against fiduciaries (for a breach of the duty of prudence) if the initial breach occurred more than six years before filing, but allegedly harmed the beneficiaries within the last six years? Oral argument: February 24, 2015Court below : United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit In this case, the Supreme Court will determine whether the ERISA’s six-year filing window prohibits a claim that 401 (k) plan fiduciaries breached their duty of prudence by offering higher-cost mutual funds to plan participants, despite identical lower-cost mutual funds being available, when fiduciaries initially chose the higher-cost mutual funds more than six years before the claim was filed. A group of employee-beneficiaries argue that plan fiduciaries have an “ongoing” duty of prudence under ERISA and the failure to remove an imprudent investment gives rise to a new six-year period. Edison International, the employer, counters that case should be dismissed because the record does not reflect the question that the Court granted certiorari for; or, in the alternative, that the judgment below should be affirmed because there is no reversible error. The resolution of this case could have implications concerning the future cost of ERISA-governed benefits plan, and the scope of fiduciary duties. Questions as Framed for the Court by the Parties Whether a claim that ERISA plan fiduciaries breached their duty of prudence by offering higher-cost retail-class mutual funds to plan participants, even though identical lower-cost institution-class mutual funds were available, is barred by 29 U. S. C. § 1113 (1) when fiduciaries initially chose the higher-cost mutual funds as plan investments more than six years before the claim was filed? Facts Respondent Edison International (“Edison”) is a holding company with interests in electrical utilities and other energy concerns, with a full-time workforce of over 14,000 employees. To assist its employees, Edison, through its related benefits and investment committees, offers a 401 (k) Savings Plan (the “401 (k) Plan”). Originally, the 401 (k) Plan consisted of six possible investment options. However, in 1999, the 401 (k) Plan was amended to include “ten institutional or commingled pools, forty mutual fund-type investments, and an indirect investment in Edison stock known as a unitized fund.”" }, { "docid": "D2618876#0", "title": "http://markleyactuarial.com/fidelity-bond-versus-fiduciary-insurance/\nFidelity Bond Versus Fiduciary Insurance", "text": "Fidelity Bond Versus Fiduciary Insurance Retirement plans need protection from theft, fraud or employee claims of mismanagement. There are two types of protection available: Fidelity Bonds and Fiduciary Insurance. What is the difference and what do you need? Fidelity Bonds protect the retirement plan against theft or fraud. Plans are required to have a bond that covers at least 10% of plan assets, capped at $500,000. The exception to this requirement is a plan that covers owners only. In addition, if the plan contains assets that are not in custody of a documented trustee, additional coverage is required. Fidelity bonds are generally inexpensive to purchase because retirement plan theft or fraud is relatively rare. When it does occur, carriers are aggressive in the pursuit of the wrong-doer. Bonds typically cover a 1 to 5 year period and may have an ‘inflation guard’ which means that the coverage will adjust to cover 10% of the plan assets throughout the coverage period." } ]

Here's what you need to know about the fiduciary rule, and why there is strong opposition to it within the financial industry. What is a fiduciary? In a financial context, a fiduciary is required to act in the best interest of the person or party whose assets they're managing. Many people mistakenly think that all financial industry professionals are bound to this standard, but that's not the case. Image Source: Getty Images. One of the biggest benefits to hiring a fiduciary to handle your investments and other assets is that a fiduciary must put his or her client's best interest ahead of their own profit. For example, investment professionals who are not bound to a fiduciary standard have been known to recommend investment products to their clients because they offer the highest commissions, and not because the products were actually in their clients' best interest. If your investment advisor is a Registered Investment Advisor, they have a fiduciary responsibility and are required to act in your best interest.

Independent registered investment advisers, which have largely supported from the start the idea of requiring fiduciary responsibility when managing retirement account assets, could be set up for a big win if the rule fades away or falls way behind the April enactment schedule. “If the rule gets delayed or repealed, I think RIAs will come out ahead because so much spotlight has been put on the topic of fiduciary responsibility, and advisers have been putting their clients' interests first since 1940,” said Skip Schweiss, managing director, advisor advocacy and industry affairs at TD Ameritrade Institutional. Threats to the scheduled launch of the controversial fiduciary rule were mounting well before Donald Trump won the November presidential election, but have gained traction since the election and the emergence of a more anti-regulatory mood coming out of Washington. Blaine Aikin, executive chairman at fi360 Inc., has long given little chance of the rule taking effect on schedule, and now sees a potential win for RIAs regardless of what happens. “From a competitive perspective, fiduciary duty has been used as an advantage for RIAs,” he said. As the theory goes, that competitive advantage could gain even more traction if the rule goes away because the opposition to it has moved the issue of fiduciary responsibility closer to the mainstream consumer market. “Whenever you look at who lined up in support of DOL rule, some of biggest proponents were the consumer groups, and that has moved the story from the trade press to the consumer press,” Mr. Aikin said. In essence, RIAs will be able to leverage the new awareness of fiduciary duty that most have always stood for, along with the distinction created by a delayed or ultimately diminished DOL rule. “At this point, I think a delay is very likely,” said Mr. Aikin. “" }, { "docid": "D3428078#0", "title": "http://www.investmentnews.com/article/20170515/FREE/170519948/fidelitys-approach-to-dol-fiduciary-rule-rankles-some-401-k-advisers\nFidelity's approach to DOL fiduciary rule rankles some 401 (k) advisers", "text": "\"More Fiduciary Coverage »Fidelity's approach to DOL fiduciary rule rankles some 401 (k) advisers The largest record keeper is being more aggressive than its peers in pushing fiduciary services for retirement plans and participants, observers say May 15, 2017 @ 2:20 pm By Greg Iacurci Fidelity Investments is aggravating some retirement plan advisers. Their ire stems from changes that Fidelity, the largest record keeper of defined-contribution plans, is making to its business in relation to compliance with the Labor Department's fiduciary rule, set to take effect in about a month. Fidelity is taking on fiduciary responsibility for both plan-level and participant-level advice in some DC plans, which itself may not seem out of the ordinary since the conflict-of-interest regulation is creating a massive shift in the way retirement plan providers operate. The way Fidelity is going about it, though, is where there's tension.

May 0501:332015Print This Article Share it With Friendsby Christopher Carosa, CTFA5 Comments T here’s a new standard coming to town, at least if the DOL follows through on their proposed new rule. If there was one theme Tom Perez repeated during his press conference introducing the proposal, it was “best interest.” He asserts the new rule will require brokers to act in the “best interest” of the clients they serve, whether they be institutional or individual. For all the talk, however, the DOL never really defined exactly what “best interest” means. Indeed, according to the formal release, there is an expectation the term will be defined through class action law suits, which the DOL explicitly encourages. This offers little in the way of help to both 401k plan sponsors as well as the financial service providers that serve them. Are “best interests” in the eye of the beholder, or is there a standard definition to this new standard. To find out, Fiduciary News.com canvassed retirement plan service providers from coast to coast.

While the broad strokes of the rule have been known for some time, the Department of Labor tweaked the final version to “minimize” the compliance burden on firms and throw open the window to allow for a broader range of investments, including non-traded REITs and variable annuities, as long as advisors guarantee they are putting their clients’ interests ahead of their own. The final rule also eliminates the requirement that firms give clients a projected cost analysis of their investments over time as well as an annual disclosure of fees. The rule marks the first meaningful update to regulations of retirement advice since 1975, when the Employee Retirement Income Security Act was enacted to protect investors in private pension plans. According to numbers released last year by the Obama administration, imposing a fiduciary standard on advisors to retirement accounts would save investors some $40 billion over the next 10 years. UPDATED: Read the full rule Originally introduced last April, the new regulations were championed by consumer protection groups and registered investment advisors already working under the standard, and were strongly opposed by Wall Street’s traditional brokerage firms. Those firms argued that curtailing certain business models (like sales-based commissions and revenue-sharing arrangements) for brokers of retirement accounts would shift the cost of advice to the consumer, making it unaffordable for smaller investors and putting a costly compliance burden on brokerage firms. Thomas Perez, secretary of the Department of Labor, said the final version of the rule addressed many of those concerns. “The DOL held over 100 meetings, hosted four days of public hearings and reviewed nearly 400,000 comments,” he said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday night. “ With every meeting we took, every comment letter we read, every witness we spoke to at the hearing, we got smarter." }, { "docid": "D578355#0", "title": "http://www.quickmba.com/law/partnership/general/\n.", "text": "\"The General Partnership A general partnership (or simply partnership) is an association of two or more people carrying on a business with the goal of earning a profit.

The Labor Department's fiduciary rule is aimed at stopping the $17 billion a year the government claims investors waste in exorbitant fees. The idea is that the regulation will stop advisers from putting their own interests in earning high commissions and fees over clients' interests in obtaining the best investments at the lowest prices. Watch: In the trenches with the DOL fiduciary rule: The final rule contained several important concessions to the advice industry that will make implementation easier for financial advisers. But there still appears to be enough meat to the rule that advisers will have litigation to fear if they can't prove their retirement advice prioritized the client over themselves. “This is going to be a bigger change than the industry expects,” said John Anderson, managing director of practice management solutions for the SEI Advisor Network. The nation's thousands of brokerage, advisory and insurance firms that impart advice within the $25 trillion retirement services market will have to adjust their operations and procedures to comply with the rule. Some changes will be drastic, while others will be minor, but all promise to fundamentally shift the advice landscape.

FIFO stands for first-in, first-out, meaning that the oldest inventory items are recorded as sold first.

These allow firms to report their financial statements in accordance to the GAAP that applies to them. The complication lies within whether the firm does business in multiple countries. How can investors then deal with multiple standards, which ones are accurate, and how can corporations be compared based upon their financials? The answer to these questions lies within the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, which is being developed and supported by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). With more and more countries adopting the IFRS as their accounting standard, over 120 as of March 2018, investors and analysts should be well advised on how this transition affects company's reporting, and what it means moving forward. To do this, this article will look at the background of IFRS, the benefits, its goals, the fundamental differences between IFRS and U. S. GAAP, and go into a few of the major changes that occur within the various financial statements when converting to IFRS from U. S. GAAP.

Companies in the United States operate under the generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, which allows for all three methods to be used. Most other countries use the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, which forbids the use of the LIFO method. GAAP and IFRS also differ on inventory reversal write-downs and costing formulas. While these two systems are different in many ways, they have some similarities for inventory costing. For example, inventory expenses must include all direct costs to ready inventory for sale, including overhead, and must exclude selling costs and most general administrative costs. Inventory Valuation Under GAAP, inventory is recorded as the lesser of cost or market value. According to the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the organization responsible for interpreting and modifying GAAP, market value is defined as the current replacement cost as limited by net realizable value. The IFRS lays down slightly different costing rules.

This amount can help businesses determine their Cost of Goods Sold, an important number for budgets and evaluating profitability. First in, First out Under the FIFO method of stock management a company assumes that the oldest items in stock are the ones being sold first – regardless of which units are actually sold first. This way, if the price of production or the wholesale purchase cost of these items was different than the current price, you will account for these goods at the oldest value – not the current one. FIFO is the opposite of the LIFO valuation method, which conversely assumes that the most recent cost of stock should be recorded ‘Last-In, First-Out’.

Different inventory measurement approaches can lead to wide variations in reported profits or losses. Buy Low, Sell High The difference between a product’s sale price and its cost is called the gross margin or gross profit. Obviously, the higher the margin, the better. The cost of the product is called cost of goods sold. We would hope that computing gross profit would involve a simple subtraction of the total cost of goods sold from total sales. Alas, things turn out to be more complicated. Adding total sales generally poses no great measurement problem, but calculating the cost of goods sold is not as straightforward.

It includes all costs incurred to get the item ready for sale, like material expenses, direct labour, freight, handling, import duties etc. Inventory is an important asset on the company’s balance sheet for small and medium businesses. So, it is very important to calculate correct inventory value. There are several valuation methods, but for small businesses, it is generally restricted to FIFO and Moving Average. FIFO (First In First Out): In FIFO it is assumed that, in a warehouse, items that arrive first, are sold first. Hence, it is calculated by summing the actual cost of the stock of an item, available in the warehouse. FIFO stock value = Qty1 * Rate1 + Qty2 * Rate2 + ...

For example, if a sentence reads, \"\"he went outside the box,\"\" that means the man was in a box and went outside of that area to another space.

This first condition is satisfied because we have various different symbols like an owl, water waves, a mouth, reeds, etc. NC 2: The sequence of the symbols must be irregular. This condition is also satisfied, as there are no regularities or periodic patterns.

Most generally, figurative language refers to language that is not literal.

Are certain words used in unusual, non-literal, non-standard, exaggerated, or metaphorical  ways? What effect do these figures of speech  have?

It refers to what is actually or obviously true, with no exaggeration or embelishment. You probably won't find better examples than the user's manuals for the dozens of electronic items you have around the house. You may find them a challenge to follow (as I sometimes do), but it won't be because the writers put hidden meanings or poetic expressions into the language. Good manuals get right to the facts and stick with them, all the way through. Manuals may be written either for a \"\"beginner\"\" or for an \"\"expert\"\" audience, depending on the device and its use. Cook books are good examples-- at least the sections that deal with the actual preparation of the food, and not the author's occasional ecstatic descriptions of how you will react to it. A little more broadly, encyclopedia articles dealing with virtually anything will contain much more literal writing than anything else.

Blanket additional insured endorsements are useful tools for preventing administrative oversights and reducing paperwork, but they also carry risks for both the named and additional insureds. Discover methods contractors and subcontractors can use to minimize the risks of breaching their contracts when using blanket AI endorsements. Ann Hickman, CPCU, CRIS, ARM Construction Liability Insurance February 2001One of the age-old problems in obtaining additional insured status under a contractor's or subcontractor's insurance policy is making sure the appropriate actions have been taken to effect the required coverage. Certificates of insurance are commonly used to verify that the certificate holder has been added as an additional insured, but because they are not part of the policy, information contained on certificates may not be binding on the insurer. This article examines the use of blanket endorsements to effect additional insured status as a means of overcoming at least some of the imperfections of the process. Additional insured status is a common and effective tool for protecting one party from certain risks arising out of another party's activities. For example, municipalities typically require additional insured status from anyone holding a public event on city property, such as concerts, parades, and carnivals. The rationale behind this requirement is that the activities expose the city to certain risks that would not otherwise exist, so the person or organization that creates the risk should assume responsibility for any losses incurred as a result of the activities." }, { "docid": "D3480796#0", "title": "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh147275(v=vs.88).aspx\nChapter 1: Programming With Visual C++ 2010", "text": "\"Chapter 1: Programming With Visual C++ 2010Applies to: Visual Studio 2010Published: April, 2010Provided by: Ivor Horton Buy This Book from Publisher This topic contains the following sections.

Experience shows, though, that there are enough pitfalls encountered and benefits missed that it is worth consolidating a few time-won guidelines and tips about applying them and explanations on subtle ways they can become inadvertently blurred with one another. The focus here is on four kinds of “trees” or hierarchical diagrams that become part of many Six Sigma projects: Cause-and-effect diagrams Y -to- x flowdown diagrams Functional analysis diagrams Abstraction diagrams (KJ or affinity)Each of these trees has a specific thrust and strength that can be surprisingly challenging to capture when a project team tries to build one or more of them.

The face of Mana – the 3000 year old woman from Fiji, was unveiled by USP Vice-Chancellor Professor Anthony Tarr during a special ceremony organised to mark this historical event. While something like this is becoming common internationally, this is the first time a face from the Lapita era in the Pacific, has been revealed. The face of Mana was reconstructed using a model of her skull which was discovered by a member of a research team from USP and the Fiji Museum which excavated an early human settlement at Naitabale in the south of Moturiki Island, central Fiji (Map 1) in June-July 2002. The team was led by Patrick Nunn, Professor of Geography at USP, aided by Mr Sepeti Matararaba of the Fiji Museum and Ms Roselyn Kumar (USP’s Institute of Applied Science). The Naitabale settlement was probably established about 1000 BC by a group of Lapita people whose ancestors had come from the Solomon Islands. The distinctive Lapita pottery that identifies the culture of these early settlers was found in abundance at the Naitabale settlement. In the course of excavations at Naitabale in 2002, a complete human skeleton was discovered in beach sand more than 1.5 metres below the ground surface. The skeleton was covered by undisturbed layers of sediment (sand and silt) in which Lapita pottery was found. The discovery of the skeleton was exciting because it appeared certain to be of Lapita age." }, { "docid": "D2437198#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090423181444AAeO4Cy\nDoes anyone think Fiji Water tastes any different from other bottled waters?", "text": "\"Food & Drink Non-Alcoholic Drinks Does anyone think Fiji Water tastes any different from other bottled waters?

It lies about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand and consists of an archipelago that includes 332 islands, a handful of which make up most of the land area, and approximately 110 of which are inhabited. Fiji straddles the 180 degree longitude line (which crosses land on a remote tip of Vanua Levu and again near the centre of Taveuni). The international date line is configured to pass east of all of Fiji, placing it all in one time zone and \"\"ahead\"\" of most of the rest of the world. Understand [ edit]Fiji is the product of volcanic mountains and warm tropical waters. Its majestic and ever-varied coral reefs today draw tourists from around the world, but were the nightmare of European mariners until well into the 19th century. As a result, Fijians have retained their land and often much of the noncommercial, sharing attitude of people who live in vast extended families with direct access to natural resources. When it came, European involvement and cession to Britain was marked by the conversion to Christianity, the cessation of brutal tribal warfare and cannibalism, and the immigration of a large number of indentured Indian laborers, who now represent nearly half of the population, as well as smaller numbers of Europeans and Asians. Today, Fiji is a land of tropical rainforests, coconut plantations, fine beaches, fire-cleared hills." }, { "docid": "D2831754#0", "title": "http://www.pacificislands.com/fiji/fiji-faq.asp\nFAQs and Travel Tips", "text": "FAQs and Travel Tips1.

The first of these discoveries was made in 1643 by the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman and English navigators, including Captain James Cook who sailed through in 1774, and made further explorations in the 18th century. Major credit for the discovery and recording of the islands went to Captain William Bligh who sailed through Fiji after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. The first Europeans to land and live among the Fijians were shipwrecked sailors and runaway convicts from the Australian penal settlements. Sandalwood traders and missionaries came by the mid 19th century. Cannibalism practiced in Fiji at that time quickly disappeared as missionaries gained influence.

Introduction Scandisk and Defrag are important utilities that come with Windows, to help you tune up your Windows filesystem and make sure it's running properly. Scandisk checks your drive to make sure there aren't any problems with it, and Defrag (short for Disk Defragmenter) organizes your filesystem to help Windows read files faster. You can usually find Scandisk and Defrag on your Start menu under \"\"Programs\"\" then \"\"Accessories\"\" and \"\"System Tools\"\". Another easy way to access both programs is to open \"\"My Computer\"\", and right-click on the drive you want to tune up. On the context menu choose \"\"Properties\"\" and then select the \"\"Tools\"\" tab.

Encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a “key”. The result of the process is encrypting information. In many contexts, the word encryption also implicitly refers to the reverse process, decryption (e.g. “software for encryption” can typically also perform decryption), to make the encrypted information readable again (i.e. to make it unencrypted). What is a key? A key is a piece of information (or parameter) that controls the operation of the encryption process. In encryption, a key specifies the particular transformation of plaintext into encrypted text. Most encryption solutions offer the option to create an ’emergency disk’ that contains this key, which enables professionals to decrypt the data. In turn, this key contains the ‘cypher’, which dictates how the data encryption occurs.

Why do we stick with Excel? In a word, familiarity. Excel is better at a lot of things—displaying charts, showing Pivot Tables, displaying different types of data on the same worksheet. It's pretty simple in the current versions of Office to pull the data you need from any database into a spreadsheet, though. Store data in a database, work on it in a worksheet. You may hold out in Excel for a while, but several things may be conspiring against you, plotting your exile from Spreadsheetland, forcing you to create your first database.

BSOD errors can occur in any Windows operating system, including Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and even Windows 98/95. Since a blue screen error gives you no choice but to restart, troubleshooting one can be difficult. Fortunately, almost every STOP error includes a hexadecimal-based STOP code that can be used to research a fix. Below are links to information on individual STOP errors including what each STOP code means and any troubleshooting information we have, or have found elsewhere, on that blue screen error. Note: We highly recommend checking out any links to specific information on your particular STOP code in the list below, but if we don't have a detailed solution, especially if the BSOD is uncommon, see the How to Fix a Blue Screen of Death guide instead. Tip: All STOP codes below are listed in order - see How to Count in Hexadecimal if you get lost trying to find yours. If you still have trouble, you might try searching for the BSOD error code using your browser's page search feature (usually invoked with the Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut).

Tags: DVD CD-Rom Apps Last response: July 7, 2005 9:46 PM in Apps General Discussion Sharelittleberry June 24, 2005 12:28:21 AMIs there a rugged copy program that can copy a partially corrupted file (*.mpg) from a CD/DVD onto your H/D? What happens is that when the normal windows copy operation encounters that portion of the DVD that is faulty, it tries over and over again (endlessly, it seems) and then just hangs and I have to reboot, forcing that irritating wait for it to scan the C and D drives on reboot. This occurs with any program I try that attempts to read the entire file from the DVD, such as Power DVD, windows explorer copy, Media Player, windvd, dos copy, etc. I assume it is because a cluster with a faulty cyclic check is encountered, and the windows read operation can't just accept the data anyway and proceed, but, instead, keeps on trying to reread and getting the same cyclic error over and over again. What I need is a read option that \"\"accepts\"\" the error, transfers the bad cluster as it came across (errors and all), and then continues until it reaches end of data. I get this when some of my home-recorded mpg movies hang up somewhere in the middle, but, if I know in advance and skip over the bad part, the remainder of the movie plays just fine. I need a program that will ignore the cyclic error and just go on. I know we had this back when I did mainframe programming (the ACCEPT option), so I wonder if there is any windows program that does the same for mpeg files on CD's or DVD\"\"s.

Removable storage has been around as long as the personal computer and safely removing or “ejecting” drives is something that OS X and Linux users are very familiar with. Whenever an external storage device is plugged into those operating system it becomes mounted to a location, and if you just pull it out without warning your OS, typically you receive a nasty warning saying you may have just lost all your data. In Windows, however, drive mounting is different. It doesn’t always require you to safely remove a device and rarely does it send out nastygram popups when you remove a device without warning.

In fact, 38 percent of women 70 and older experience hair loss, in part because hair thickness decreases with age, especially after menopause. The condition often leads to low self-esteem, social anxiety, and self-imposed isolation.

Syndrome The most common persistent side effects of finasteride are loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, panic attacks, Peyronie’s disease, penile shrinkage, gynecomastia, muscle atrophy, cognitive impairment, insomnia, severely dry skin and tinnitus. These can last for years after stopping the drug. [ more…]Research The PFS Foundation’s primary objective is to help establish medical consensus and acceptance of PFS by promoting scientific and clinical research. Research initiatives focus on uncovering underlying biologic mechanisms for the syndrome and its persistent side effects at a molecular level.

Be aware that the effect was particularly prevalent among men with oligospermia at presentation. Men using finasteride to treat baldness had a dramatic increase in sperm count following discontinuation of the drug, according to a review of records at male infertility clinic. Average sperm count increased fourfold (and by as much as 12-fold) when the men stopped using the low-dose finasteride product, according to Keith Jarvi, MD, of Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Toronto, and co-authors. None of the patients had a decrease in sperm count after stopping finasteride.

Bornstein told the New York Times in an interview published Wednesday. He also made a point of stating that the President has all of his hair. The New York City gastroenterologist also said the President is taking antibiotics to control rosacea, a skin condition that causes redness. A senior White House official says Bornstein did not have Trump's permission to speak about his health to the Times. The physician told the Times he has had no contact with his patient since Trump became president. Trump had visited his office every year since 1980 for annual checkups, colonoscopies and other routine tests. During the campaign, Trump's longtime physician disclosed only that he was taking rosuvastatin and low-dose aspirin to reduce his risk of heart attack. Bornstein came under scrutiny for a letter he wrote describing Trump's physical health that concluded, \"\"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. \"\" What we know about Donald Trump's health Other doctors found the letter's conclusion unprofessional and said Bornstein had used strange wording and medically incorrect terms when referring to his high-profile patient.

Vasodilators expand blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily through them. This has been shown to stimulate hair growth — especially when people are experiencing balding or alopecia. Minoxidil was originally used to treat high blood pressure in patients. However, doctors accidentally discovered that a side effect of administering the medication was that it caused lighter-colored or finer body hairs to turn dark in the people who took this medicine. This clued scientists into the fact that it may stimulate hair growth or promote hair health — and they started to use it as a drug that combats hair loss. Minoxidil typically comes in a foam form, and people use either 2% or 5% Minoxidil. While 5% Minoxidil may have more side effects, it tends to work faster than 2%." }, { "docid": "D1954731#0", "title": "http://men.emedtv.com/testopel/testopel.html\nTestopel", "text": "Men Channel Topics Hair Loss Impotence Low Testosterone Men's Health Peyronie's Disease Skin Testes Medications Acamprosate Alfuzosin Andro Gel Avanafil Axiron Biotin Diclofenac Patch Doxazosin XLDutasteride Dutasteride/Tamsulosin Epimedium Finasteride Finasteride (Propecia)Finasteride (Proscar)Fortesta Ifex Megestrol Methitest Methyltestosterone Myoplex Naftin Orally Disintegrating Vardenafil Propecia Robaxin Rogaine Sildenafil Citrate Silodosin Striant Tadalafil Tamsulosin Testim Testopel Testosterone Cypionate Testosterone Enanthate Testosterone Patch Testred Tribulus Terrestris Vardenafil Vig RX Plus Advertisement Quicklinks Impotence Impotence Treatment Peyronie's Propecia Finasteride Tadalafil Sildenafil Citrate Vardenafil Tamsulosin Biotin Andro Gel Robaxin Rogaine Testim Related Channels Erectile Dysfunction Heart Disease Prostate Prostate Cancer Insomnia Diabetes Depression Arthritis Advertisement Tweet Men Home > Testopel Testopel As a prescription hormone medication, Testopel can help treat low testosterone levels in men.

Adverse Effects of Finasteride Plenty of advertising exposure has ensured that Finasteride is one popular potential method to treat hair loss known to most men. However, it comes with numerous risks, some of which are potential very serious. For example, the FDA publically announced a recent warning that Finasteride increased the risk of hide-grade prostate cancer. While the exact effect was not known, studies had found that men taking Finasteride who developed prostate cancer had a higher average grade on the Gleason Grade (the measurement for the severity of prostate cancer). The FDA also warned that Finasteride might also mask the earning warning signs of prostate cancer, when it is more easily treated.

As is true for prostate cancer, BPH occurs more often in the West compared to Eastern countries, such as Japan and China, and may be more common among blacks. Not long ago, a study found a possible genetic link for BPH in men younger than age 65 who have a very enlarged prostate: Their male relatives were four times more likely than other men to need BPH surgery at some point in their lives, and their brothers had a six-fold increase in risk. BPH produces symptoms by obstructing the flow of urine through the urethra. Symptoms related to BPH are present in about one in four men by age 55, and in half of 75-year-old men. However, treatment is only necessary if symptoms become bothersome. By age 80, some 20 to 30% of men experience BPH symptoms severe enough to require treatment. Surgery was the only option until the recent approval of drugs that can relieve symptoms either by shrinking the prostate or by relaxing the prostate muscle tissue that constricts the urethra. Signs and Symptoms The symptoms of BPH can be divided into those caused directly by urethral obstruction and those due to secondary changes in the bladder. Typical obstructive symptoms are: Difficulty in starting to urinate despite pushing and straining A weak stream of urine; several interruptions in the stream Dribbling at the end of urination Bladder changes cause: A sudden strong desire to urinate (urgency)Frequent urination The sensation that the bladder is not empty after urination is completed Frequent awakening at night to urinate (nocturia)As the bladder becomes more sensitive to retained urine, a man, may become incontinent (unable to control the bladder causing bed wetting at night, or inability to respond quickly enough to urinary urgency)." }, { "docid": "D3451073#0", "title": "http://men.emedtv.com/biotin/biotin-and-hair-growth.html\nBiotin and Hair Growth", "text": "\"Men Channel Topics Hair Loss Impotence Low Testosterone Men's Health Peyronie's Disease Skin Testes Medications Acamprosate Alfuzosin Andro Gel Avanafil Axiron Biotin Diclofenac Patch Doxazosin XLDutasteride Dutasteride/Tamsulosin Epimedium Finasteride Finasteride (Propecia)Finasteride (Proscar)Fortesta Ifex Megestrol Methitest Methyltestosterone Myoplex Naftin Orally Disintegrating Vardenafil Propecia Robaxin Rogaine Sildenafil Citrate Silodosin Striant Tadalafil Tamsulosin Testim Testopel Testosterone Cypionate Testosterone Enanthate Testosterone Patch Testred Tribulus Terrestris Vardenafil Vig RX Plus Advertisement Quicklinks Impotence Impotence Treatment Peyronie's Propecia Finasteride Tadalafil Sildenafil Citrate Vardenafil Tamsulosin Biotin Andro Gel Robaxin Rogaine Testim Related Channels Erectile Dysfunction Heart Disease Prostate Prostate Cancer Insomnia Diabetes Depression Arthritis Advertisement Tweet Men Home > Biotin and Hair Growth Biotin and Hair Growth While biotin supplementation can certainly help with hair growth, most cases of hair loss are not actually caused by a biotin deficiency.
