States, which apply to NELAP to become an accreditation body, may select to operate an accreditation program which covers all of the EPA regulatory programs or as few as one. For example, many states may select to only accredit laboratories for chemistry and microbiology under the drinking water program. Other states may select to operate a comprehensive program, which includes all types of analyses for all types of media (i.e., hazardous waste, waste water, drinking water, air, soil, etc.) under the five EPA regulatory programs [i.e., Clean Air Act (CAA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)]. There is no requirement that a state incorporate any particular portion of the possible scope into its program. The scope of accreditation, the type of laboratory included under the state's program, including the regulatory or voluntary nature of the program itself, the assessment of fees, and the use of third party assessors are all options of the state. A NELAP Accreditation Body will accept by recognition, the accreditation status of a laboratory issued by another NELAP Accreditation Body (this is called secondary accreditation). Each Accreditation Body must adopt and adhere to this principle as a condition of membership in NELAP. In accepting the accreditation status of a laboratory through recognition, the Accreditation Body assumes accreditation responsibilities as a secondary accreditation body. A laboratory seeking accreditation must apply to its home state Accreditation Body for accreditation." }, { "docid": "D2394654#0", "title": "https://www.plbg.com/forum/read.php?1,306131\nRe: What does WOG stand for on valvesAuthor: Plumbcrazy2 (PA)WOG is Water,Oil,Gas.

It is a manmade chemical found at industrial or hazardous waste sites. It has been used as a cleaning and degreasing solvent and also is associated with pesticide products.1,2,3-TCP causes cancer in laboratory animals (US EPA, 2009). It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen (NTP, 2014), and probably carcinogenic to humans, based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals (IARC, 1995). In 1992, 1,2,3-TCP was added to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, pursuant to California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act ( Proposition 65 ).. In 1999, we established a 0.005-micrograms per liter (μg/L) drinking water notification level for 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP). This value is based on cancer risks derived from laboratory animals studies (US EPA , 1997). The notification level is at the same concentration as the analytical reporting limit, as described below. Certain requirements and recommendations apply if 1,2,3-TCP is detected above its notification level. The 1,2,3-TCP notification level was established after its discovery at the Burbank Operable Unit (OU) — a southern California Superfund hazardous waste site — because of concerns that the chemical might find its way into drinking water supplies. It had been found in several drinking water wells elsewhere in the state at that time." }, { "docid": "D120838#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_does_cl_stand_for_in_measurement\nWhat does cl stand for in measurement?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Literary Devices and Figures of Speech Acronyms & Abbreviations What does cl stand for in measurement?

About the ELD mandate In 2012, the United States Congress enacted the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century” bill, or, more commonly referred to as MAP-21. That bill, which also outlined the criteria for highway funding, included a provision requiring the FMCSA to develop a rule mandating the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs). In its simplest form, an electronic logging device — or ELD — is used to electronically record a driver’s Record of Duty Status (RODS), which replaces the paper logbook some drivers currently use to record their compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) requirements. Fleets had until December 2017 to implement certified ELDs to record HOS. Fleets that were already equipped with electronic logging technology (AOBRDs) before December 2017 have until December 2019 to ensure compliance with the published specifications. ELDs aren’t reinventing the HOS compliance technology wheel The ELD rule is based on a series of previous rulemaking events, each building upon its predecessor. ( That’s one reason why it’s so easy to be confused by what’s available on the market right now. ) Today, many drivers and fleets are using automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs) to reduce paperwork. These devices meet the standard covered in the FMCSA’s rule 395.15, which requires them to automatically record a driver’s duty status and any changes in status, as well as the amount of time they operate the vehicle." }, { "docid": "D3530509#0", "title": "https://www.teletracnavman.com/blog/elds-on-the-rise-despite-legal-challenge\nELDs on the Rise Despite Legal Challenge", "text": "Home : Blog : GPS Tracking SHAREELDs on the Rise Despite Legal Challenge6/21/2016 by Sid Nair How ELDs surpass court challenge and are becoming a benefit to both drivers and carriers. A commercial drivers’ interest group has brought a legal challenge against the government mandate requiring commercial vehicle owners to implement electronic logging devices or ELDs. The suit was filed on Constitutional grounds, with the Owner Operator Independent Driver’s Association contending that ELDs violate a driver’s right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment. In the action, OOIDA argued that these devices are unnecessarily intrusive. OOIDA president and CEO Jim Johnston said that the regulation is “an outrageous intrusion of the privacy of professional truckers. ”In considering that claim, it’s worth noting that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration--the agency responsible for enacting the ELD mandate—takes the issue of privacy and overreach quite seriously. FMCSA is aware that a tracking and recording device might be perceived as an intrusion—or even be misused. That’s why the agency included specific provisions in the mandate to prevent what it terms harassment of drivers through use of ELD data. There are several parts to the privacy guarantee built into the mandate. One is a stipulation that every ELD include a muting function that allows a driver to have uninterrupted sleep and off-duty time." }, { "docid": "D2140149#0", "title": "https://www.jjkeller.com/learn/electronic-logging-device-eld-faqs\nElectronic Logging Device (ELD) FAQs", "text": "\"Electronic Logging Device (ELD) FAQs What is AOBRD?

After fighting off and destroying numerous \"\"Low-Men\"\" and Type One Vampires, Callahan sacrifices himself to let Jake survive. In the other world - Fedic - Mia, her body now physically separated from Susannah Dean, gives birth to Mordred Deschain, the biological son of Roland Deschain and Susannah.

Susannah shoots but fails to kill Mordred, eliminates other agents of the Crimson King, and escapes to meet up with Jake at the cross-dimensional door beneath the Dixie Pig which connects to Fedic. Maturing at an accelerated rate, Mordred later stalks Roland and the other gunslingers throughout this adventure, shifting from human to spider as the need arises, seething with an instinctive rage toward Roland, his \"\"white daddy.\"\" [ 2] [3]In Maine, Roland and Eddie recruit John Cullum, and then make their way back to Fedic, where the ka-tet is now reunited." }, { "docid": "D1490687#0", "title": "http://blog.ryder.com/2016/05/what-you-need-to-know-about-fmcsa-electronic-logging-device-regulations/\nWhat You Need to Know About FMCSA Electronic Logging Device Regulations", "text": "What You Need to Know About FMCSA Electronic Logging Device Regulations Featured Author, Fleet Management May 3, 2016When the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) issued its final rule in December, 2015 requiring the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) to record hours of service (HOS) for commercial drivers, the agency did more than just demand an equipment change. The new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations came with a long list of requirements necessary for carriers and drivers to meet in order to be compliant. The regulations mandate minimum performance and design standards for HOS ELDs, and also have: Requirements for the mandatory use of devices by drivers currently required to prepare HOS records of duty status (RODS)New requirements concerning HOS supporting documents Measures to address concerns about harassment resulting from the mandatory use of ELDs The goal of the regulation is to improve compliance with HOS rules using ELDs. To be complaint, all motor carriers and drivers subject to the ELD rule must use either an ELD or an automatic onboard recording device (AOBRD) by December, 2017. By December, 2019 all carriers and drivers subject to the rule must use only ELDs. The ELD rule: Requires ELD use by commercial drivers – including buses – who are required to prepare HOS RODS. Sets ELD performance and design standards, and requires ELDs to be certified and registered with FMCSA. Establishes what supporting documents drivers and carriers are required to keep. Prohibits harassment of drivers based on ELD data or connected technology (such as fleet management system).

In guidance to be published in the May 12 Federal Register, the agency also said that an enforcement official may request that additional information be provided following the roadside inspection. FMCSA’s new guidance was prompted by reports that inspectors sometimes ask drivers to provide printouts from AOBRDs or to e-mail or fax records of duty status (RODS) to an enforcement official. The agency also has learned that on occasion inspection officials have issued citations to commercial motor vehicle drivers because their AOBRDs did not display certain information. AOBRDs are not required to be capable of providing printed records at the roadside, although a driver may voluntarily provide it if his AOBRD has the capability. Printed information must meet the display requirements of Sec. 395.15. Requirements for recording, but not displaying, information reflects the technology in place in the mid-1980s when the regulations were adopted, FMCSA said.

That has certainly been the case with electronic logging devices for the trucking industry and the FMCSA’s ELD Mandate. Let’s tackle some of the more common ELD myths we hear today and distinguish fact from fiction.1) Myth: ELDs will put owner/operators out of business One of the remarks most frequently shared with the FMCSA during the ELD Mandate comment period was a fear that ELDs would push owner/operators out of business. Those fears arose from: The perceived prohibitive cost of ELDs The potential loss of driving hours Strict Hours of Service regulations compliance Did those drivers have cause for worry? Fact: Once most commercial truck drivers have adopted electronic logging devices, they refuse to return to paper logbooks. Further, many drivers find ELD use actually helps them gain more time on the road, as e-logs can record duty status changes down to the nearest minute. Conversely, paper logbooks require drivers to round up to the nearest 15 minutes, resulting in fewer miles posted. As for price…2 ) Myth: ELDs are too expensive When electronic logging systems were first introduced over 20 years ago, fleets paid up to $2,500 for a single device. Even at those prices, fleets were willing to invest in the trucking technology that helped them reduce paperwork, stay in touch with drivers, and maximize drive time.

An electret generates internal and external electric fields, and is the electrostatic equivalent of a permanent magnet. Oliver Heaviside coined this term in 1885. Materials with electret properties were, however, already studied since the early 18th century. One particular example is the electrophorus, a device consisting of a slab with electret properties and a separate metal plate. The electrophorus was originally invented by Johan Carl Wilcke in Sweden and again by Alessandro Volta in Italy.

A dipole moment is the distance between charges multiplied by the charge. The unit of the dipole moment is the Debye, where 1 Debye is 3.34×10 −30 C ·m. The dipole moment is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The direction of an electric dipole moment points from the negative charge toward the positive charge.

Microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, hearing aids, public address systems for concert halls and public events, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, sound recording, two-way radios, megaphones, radio and television broadcasting, and in computers for recording voice, speech recognition, Vo IP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic sensors or knock sensors. Several different types of microphone are in use, which employ different methods to convert the air pressure variations of a sound wave to an electrical signal. The most common are the dynamic microphone, which uses a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field; the condenser microphone, which uses the vibrating diaphragm as a capacitor plate, and the piezoelectric microphone, which uses a crystal of piezoelectric material. Microphones typically need to be connected to a preamplifier before the signal can be recorded or reproduced.

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of naturally occurring uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odorless and tasteless, and can only be detected by specialized tests. Radon enters homes through openings that are in contact with the ground, such as cracks in the foundation, small openings around pipes, and sump pits. Radon, like other radioactive materials, undergoes radioactive decay that forms decay products. Radon and its decay products release radioactive energy that can damage lung tissue in a way that causes the beginning of lung cancer. The more radon you are exposed to, and the longer the exposure, the greater the risk of eventually developing lung cancer. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, resulting in 15,000 to 22,000 deaths per year.

In the N channel device, the N channel is sandwiched between two P type regions (the gate and the substrate) that are connected together electrically to form the gate. The N type channel is connected to the source and drain terminals via more heavily doped N+ type regions. The drain is connected to a positive supply, and the source to zero volts. N+ type silicon has a lower resistivity than N type. This gives it a lower resistance, increasing conduction and reducing the effect of placing standard N type silicon next to the aluminium connector, which because aluminium is a tri−valent material, having three valence electrons whilst silicon has four, would tend to create an unwanted junction, similar in effect to a PN junction at this point. The P type gate is at 0V and is therefore negatively biased compared to the channel, which has a potential gradient on it, as one end is connected to 0 volts (the source), and the other end to a positive voltage (the drain)." }, { "docid": "D2309510#0", "title": "http://inventors.about.com/od/mstartinventions/a/microphone.htm\nThe History of Microphones", "text": "\"Humanities ›History & Culture The History of Microphones Microphones convert sound waves into electrical voltages.

Learning Objectives List methods of using volume to effectively deliver your speech Key Takeaways Key Points Volume is the perceived loudness of the speaker. Loudness is what the audience actually perceives and it correlates with the physical strength (amplitude). When speaking naturally without any amplification, you need to keep in mind the distance to be covered by your voice and adjust sound production accordingly. In large rooms or when using videoconferencing equipment, you use a microphone to convert sound into electrical signals for amplification. Lavalier mics, commonly used by speakers, are usually attached to collars or ties with small clips. The cord may be hidden by clothes and either run to a radio frequency transmitter or into a mixer. Key Terms Lavalier Mic: A lavalier microphone or lavalier (or lav or lapel mic) is a small electret (electric, magnet) or dynamic microphone used for television, theater, and public speaking applications, in order to allow hands-free operation.amplifier: This is a particular type of speaker used to amplify voices and musical instruments at live performances.loudness: The characteristic of a sound that is primarily a psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude).

The magnetic field can twist any oblong magnetic objects (such as iron rods, or bits of iron powder,) so they align to follow particular directions.

But by embracing ‘paraphony’, we entered a sometimes confusing sub-section of synthesis categorisation. In this article, the makers of Circuit Mono Station join forces with Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music to discuss the paraphony puzzle. Music makers are no strangers to complex terminology. From semi-parametric EQs and half-normalled patchbays to transformer-isolated DI boxes and back-electret microphones, the jargon that bombards us in the studio can be overwhelming. But these words play a vital role in distinguishing one type of ‘thing’ from another, so it should come as no surprise that the complicated world of synthesis has plenty of advanced vocab. And so we turn to the topic of this piece: the sub-section of phraseology that refers to the number of sounds a synth is capable of creating at any one time. The best known and easiest-to-understand terms in this realm are ‘monophonic’ and ‘polyphonic’, which describe a synth’s ability to play just one voice (monophonic) or multiple voices (polyphonic) at once. A voice is an oscillator or a group of oscillators with an independent filter, amplifier, and/or and amp envelope.

A polarized dielectric material A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization. Because of dielectric polarization, positive charges are displaced in the direction of the field and negative charges shift in the opposite direction. This creates an internal electric field that reduces the overall field within the dielectric itself. [ 1] If a dielectric is composed of weakly bonded molecules, those molecules not only become polarized, but also reorient so that their symmetry axes align to the field.

This way, should your electric furnace ever break down or have any issues, you will be able to know what to look for. The more that you know about the parts in your electric furnace, the better off you will be with the one that you own. Getting a strong and basic knowledge about at least a few of the parts is a great start in learning about each and every working part in your electric furnace. Contactor The contactor in your electric furnace is basically a control that is there to help to get the voltage switched to your furnace heating element. What this means is that it has a lot to do with your thermostat. If your thermostat for your electric furnace does not have very high voltage, then this means that the contactor will be energized by the thermostat. Once you’re the thermostat itself is content with the temperature, then the contactor will then turn the heat off by opening up the connection.

A heat pump doesn’t create heat like a conventional furnace, but instead moves it from one place to another. Down to temperatures around 35 degrees, there’s enough latent heat energy in outdoor air to warm your home. The heat pump’s outside coil extracts this heat from the air, a compressor concentrates it in refrigerant, then conveys it to an interior coil to be dispersed into your ductwork. Because outdoor temperatures may drop below the point at which the heat pump can extract sufficient energy to heat the home, however, a second furnace is incorporated to supply backup or “supplemental” heat. This furnace also functions to deliver emergency heat. Thermostat Indicators The LCD display on the heat pump’s indoor thermostat usually displays one of three icons. The “HEAT” icon indicates that the heat pump system is operating.

Heat pumps do not generate heat; instead, they move it around, and temperatures just below the ground surface are relatively constant all year. A geothermal heat pump works best in relatively mild climates. Typical costs: Geothermal heat pumps have high initial costs but are one of the most energy-efficient methods of heating A geothermal (ground-source or water-source) heat pump can cost $3,500-$7,500 for just the unit, and the more expensive models may include options such as a two-stage compressor or a hot water heater. Excavation and installation costs can bring total costs to $10,000-$25,000 or more, depending on depth of pipes, type of equipment and soil conditions. Cost Helper readers report spending $12,000-$15,000 for complete installation of a geothermal system, at an average cost of $13,400; and a reader in Iowa spent $35,000 to install three geothermal units (one for each floor of a 6,500-square-foot barn which was converted into a bed and breakfast).

However, this is the right time to repair your furnace or start looking for a new one if you want to be ready before the chill and the snow arrive. Where something as important as a furnace is concerned, it is never too early to start. Too many people wait until the last moment and end up paying a higher price for emergency service or replacement. But how much does a new furnace cost? The answer really depends on what type of furnace you are looking for. There are gas fired furnaces, oil fired furnaces and electric furnaces and several variations of each type. Each has its pros and cons, and each has its starting price tag.

Reactors are also often equipped with Fans for cooling similar to Power Transformers. However, there are major differences between the two. While a Power Transformer is designed for efficient power transfer from one voltage system to another, a shunt reactor is intended only to consume reactive VArs (or in other words it can be stated as to produce lagging VArs). Differences between Shunt Reactor and Power Transformer Thus, there are more than one winding on a Power Transformer with magnetic core which carry the mutual flux between the two. In reactor there is just one winding. The core is not therefore meant only to provide a low reluctance path for flux of that winding to increase the Inductance. In case of a Power Transformer, primary Ampere-Turns (AT) is sum of exciting AT and secondary AT. AT loss (in winding resistance, eddy loss and hysteric loss) is kept to as minimum as possible.

Get a Local Heating Pro Fast!In some regions or circumstances, electricity is the preferred energy source for a forced-air heating system—though electric furnaces are quite uncommon because of the high cost of electricity as a furnace fuel in most regions. Electric Furnace Diagram An electric furnace is similar to a conventional gas forced-air furnace except that it produces heat with electric heating elements instead of gas burners. Circuit breakers that control the heating elements may be either inside or outside the cabinet. An electric-resistance furnace works like a big hair dryer. As with a gas forced-air furnace, it has a blower that draws air into the cabinet through a cold-air return and then pushes the air through the heat exchanger. There, electric heating elements heat the air, and the blower pushes the warmed air back into rooms through a system of duct work. One advantage of electric heating over gas and other combustion fuels is that electric heating doesn’t give off carbon monoxide." }, { "docid": "D394420#0", "title": "http://www.ashireporter.org/HomeInspection/Articles/Inspecting-High-Efficiency-Gas-Heating-Systems/1907\nInspecting High-Efficiency Gas Heating Systems", "text": "Inspecting High-Efficiency Gas Heating Systems ALAN CARSONRECOMMENDTWITTERLINKEDINEMAILPRINTWhat Can Go Wrong Note: This is part III of a three-part series of articles excerpted from the ASHI@HOME education program.

The condition occurs when one of the major nerves to the hand — the median nerve — is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the wrist. In most patients, carpal tunnel syndrome gets worse over time, so early diagnosis and treatment are important. Early on, symptoms can often be relieved with simple measures like wearing a wrist splint or avoiding certain activities. If pressure on the median nerve continues, however, it can lead to nerve damage and worsening symptoms. To prevent permanent damage, surgery to take pressure off the median nerve may be recommended for some patients. Anatomy The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist, about an inch wide. The floor and sides of the tunnel are formed by small wrist bones called carpal bones. The roof of the tunnel is a strong band of connective tissue called the transverse carpal ligament.

The condition for which the release is performed is called carpal tunnel syndrome. Purpose Carpal tunnel syndrome is a relatively common problem affecting the wrist and hand. Individuals afflicted with carpal tunnel syndrome complain of numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand, with pain radiating up into the arm, shoulder, and even the neck. Some patients may experience an aching or burning sensation in the affected hand. The fingers may feel swollen, although they are no larger in size. If the condition is left unattended, symptoms may begin to awaken the individuals during sleep. If left unattended medically, muscle weakness can develop, leading to an inability to grasp objects or engage in any action requiring the opposition of the thumb and the other fingers in the affected hand.

And although breaking a bone takes only a split-second fall off the jungle gym or a quick collision on the soccer field, the healing process takes a bit longer. In most cases, a child who breaks a bone will require a cast to keep it still while it heals. Depending on the age of the child and the type of fracture, a cast can be on for as little as 4 weeks or as long as 10 weeks. Some kids might find casts cool once they're on, but getting one can be frightening, especially if a child is in pain. Knowing what happens in the ER or cast room might help alleviate some of that worry. The good news is that even though a broken bone can hurt and a cast or splint can be inconvenient, most kids recover with no trouble at all.

It finishes by looking at some uses of aluminium. Extracting aluminium from bauxite Introduction Aluminium is too high in the electrochemical series (reactivity series) to extract it from its ore using carbon reduction. The temperatures needed are too high to be economic. Instead, it is extracted by electrolysis. The ore is first converted into pure aluminium oxide by the Bayer Process, and this is then electrolysed in solution in molten cryolite - another aluminium compound. The aluminium oxide has too high a melting point to electrolyse on its own. Aluminium ore The usual aluminium ore is bauxite. Bauxite is essentially an impure aluminium oxide.

I understand that if you, for example, put sodium chloride in water it will disassociate into positive sodium ions and negative chlorine ions, and that an electric field would cause the ions to move, allowing a current to flow. But what happens once the charges get to the electrodes? Obviously, they can't just stay there in elemental form stably. I would expect the sodium, once given an electron, to be looking for a way to give that electron back. Would it cause the water to split into hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions? On the chlorine side, would the chlorine atoms simply turn into chlorine gas.

Defining reactions [ edit]There is no unique and fully consistent way to define the reactivity series, but it is common to use the three [ not in citation given] types of reaction listed below, many of which can be performed in a high-school laboratory (at least as demonstrations). [ 5]Reaction with water and acids [ edit]The most reactive metals, such as sodium, will react with cold water to produce hydrogen and the metal hydroxide:2 Na (s) + 2 H 2 O (l) →2 Na OH (aq) + H 2 (g)Metals in the middle of the reactivity series, such as iron, will react with acids such as sulfuric acid (but not water at normal temperatures) to give hydrogen and a metal salt, such as iron (II) sulfate: Fe (s) + H 2 SO 4 (l) → Fe SO 4 (aq) + H 2 (g)There is some ambiguity at the borderlines between the groups. Magnesium, aluminium and zinc can react with water, but the reaction is usually very slow unless the metal samples are specially prepared to remove the surface layer of oxide which protects the rest of the metal. Copper and silver will react with nitric acid; but because nitric acid is an oxidizing acid, the oxidizing agent is not the H + ion as in normal acids, but the NO 3 − ion. Single displacement reactions [ edit]An iron nail placed in a solution of copper sulfate will quickly change colour as metallic copper is deposited and the iron is converted into iron (II) sulfate: Fe (s) + Cu SO 4 (aq) → Cu (s) + Fe SO 4 (aq)In general, a metal can displace any of the metals which are lower in the reactivity series: the higher metal reduces the ions of the lower metal.

It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic and ductile metal in the boron group. By mass, aluminium makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust; it is the third most abundant element after oxygen and silicon and the most abundant metal in the crust, though it is less common in the mantle below. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.

We are installing anodized aluminum benches in a basketball gym. The supplier has provided galvanized steel brackets to be attached to the bench and zinc plated steel bolts from the bracket to the concrete. Questions: 1) Will the galvanized bracket be sufficient to prevent the corrosive interaction between the steel and the Aluminum? 2) By attaching the steel bracket directly to the concrete, will that provide sufficient grounding to prevent the electrolysis? Ronald Mc Kenzie CEFconsultant - Huntington Beach, California (2006)A. Hello, Ronald. To my knowledge the grounding neither accelerates nor retards galvanic action; I think that part is irrelevant as long as you are not introducing additional materials. A galvanic corrosion cell can be likened to a dry cell battery for ease of understanding: - The two metals in your construction (aluminum and zinc) act like the carbon and zinc in a battery, with their difference in electrochemical potential providing the driving force. Depending on the particular aluminum alloy, this potential difference between it and the zinc might be around 0.2 volts rather than the 1.5 volts potential difference between carbon and zinc. - Ambient moisture and accumulated salts play the role of the conductive glop in a battery. Unless bleach is used for cleaning, or some other unusual circumstance, the environment will probably be fairly dry and non-conductive. -" } ]

The sun is a medium, yellow star, consisting primarily of hydrogen at temperatures high enough to cause nuclear fusion.

Brain stimulation therapies involve activating or inhibiting the brain directly with electricity. The electricity can be given directly by electrodes implanted in the brain, or noninvasively through electrodes placed on the scalp.

While these types of therapies are less frequently used than medication and psychotherapies, they hold promise for treating certain mental disorders that do not respond to other treatments. Electroconvulsive therapy is the best studied brain stimulation therapy and has the longest history of use. Other stimulation therapies discussed here are newer, and in some cases still experimental methods. These include:vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (r TMS)magnetic seizure therapy (MST)deep brain stimulation (DBS)A treatment plan may also include medication and psychotherapy.

The median nerve and 9 tendons that connect to fingers in your hand run through this tunnel.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the name for a group of problems that includes swelling, pain, tingling, and loss of strength in your wrist and hand. This condition will happen when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand through the carpal tunnel, becomes squeezed (compressed) by damaged tissue inside or outside of the carpal tunnel. The median nerve can be squeezed in a few different ways: By swelling or thickening of one or more of the tendons inside of the carpal tunnel,Any soft tissue swelling around the tunnel from other muscles, tendons or ligaments in the wrist,From direct pressure from part of a broken or dislocated bone in the wrist,Or even anatomical, natural shape and size of your carpal tunnel (the carpal tunnel is naturally smaller in women versus men).

Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The radiation penetrates the body and heats through a process called conversion, instead of heating the air around you. Infrared light, as radiated by the Sun, lies between the Visible and Microwave sectors of the electromagnetic spectrum. What is an Infrared Sauna? An infrared sauna is a sauna that heats its occupants with heaters that emit far infrared radiant heat. Unlike traditional Finnish Saunas, infrared saunas do not use steam, (which heats the air, and thereby the user) but instead use infrared radiation to directly heat the user. In an infrared sauna, the infrared heater produces radiant energy, which is the same as the heat from the sun, only without the harmful ultraviolet rays. Most of these heaters draw on technology developed in 1965 by Dr. Tadashi Ishikawa, a member of the Research and Development Department of Fuji Medical.

You have pain and swelling in your knee. You have tightness and tenderness around your knee. You may feel as if your knee may collapse at any moment. If you found yourself agreeing with many of these statements; you're suffering from off/on or on-going pain in your knee then you might have a meniscus tear injury. Once your doctor confirmed your meniscus injury he/she will set you on a path for proactive conservation treatments, even before you have a full MRI diagnosis. This is because your knee and meniscus could end up in worse condition than before the surgery! This is why surgery is only performed as a last resort. Minor meniscus injuries heal quickly with conservative therapy - not every torn meniscus requires surgery. Location, shape and size of your tear can greatly influence your success in healing your torn meniscal tissue." }, { "docid": "D705590#0", "title": "http://www.innerbody.com/xrays-and-radiography-overview\n", "text": "Home > What Are X-Rays? And How Does Radiography Work? X-rays (often written x-rays or xrays) are a type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The term X-ray is shorthand for X-radiation, so named simply because it was an unknown form of radiation when discovered. Its discoverer was Wilhelm Röntgen, which is why X-rays are sometimes called Röntgen rays in other parts of the world. Röntgen was the recipient of the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery. X-rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than ultraviolet radiation, but lower frequency and longer wavelength than gamma rays. If you're wondering what EM radiation is, what terms like frequency and wavelength really mean, and how X-rays allow people to make important medical images as well as help us in a host of other endeavors, then you've arrived at a good place. Here you can explore any or all of those subjects and, by doing so, arrive at a better understanding of X-rays and how we use them in our lives.

Flag What is alpha and beta radiation used for? Answer by Jorge Quinones Confidence votes 39.2KThere are things that interest me. History covers them all. Since the ancient history to the life of Scientist Nikola Tesla. Alpha particles add two protons and two neutrons to an element during radioactive decay, while beta particles add no neutrons and subtract one proton during decay. An alpha particle is also equivalent to a helium nucleus. Their uses are plentiful, but perhaps the most noted is their use in X-ray scans at hospitals. When a beta particle is streamed at lead (Pb), x-rays are emmited. This also works with tungsten (W).3 people found this useful Was this answer useful?" }, { "docid": "D1497650#0", "title": "http://aidmymuscle.com/?ref=msmcombo\nAdvanced Muscle Injury Treatments", "text": "\"Advanced Muscle Injury Treatments Amazing Treatment Options for Deep Tissue Muscle Injuries, Strains, Tears, Pulls, Cramps and Spasms It Is Now Possible For You To: Accelerate the healing of your muscle injury Decrease muscle pain to a manageable level Reduce the amount of scar tissue formed during your recovery Increase your Range of Motion by reducing the atrophy in your injured muscles...you simply need the right treatment.

Petitgrain oil was particularly rich in olfactives, and was used for high-quality perfumes and cosmetics of all sorts.

It has conspicuous oil glands that release a strong, blackcurrant-like aroma. The delicate stem bears five-petalled white flowers with purple anthers that appear in the spring.

Applying sunscreen can be annoying, but the thing is, you have to do it. Whether you’re hanging by the pool all day or going to work at 8 a.m., you just do. Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is responsible for 80 percent of skin cancer deaths, is the most common cancer in U. S. women from ages 25-29 and has increased by 50 percent among women aged 15-39. And if we can appeal to your vanity for a moment, women who wear sunscreen daily have 24 percent fewer signs of skin aging than those who don’t. Since daily use (even on cloudy days!) is the only way to success, finding a sunscreen you like is key, or else you’ll never wear it. “ It’s a personal preference, so try them all to find one that works for you,” suggests Gervaise Gerstner, M. D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Here, we do the dirty work for you and find a sunscreen for every excuse.1“I don’t want to wait 20 minutes for it to start workin... Well, lazypants, we appreciate your honesty.

Elemi oil has natural properties that support skin. A Little Bit About the Ingredient Itself Elemi oil is extracted from the resin of the elemi tree, scientifically called Canarium luzonicum, and also known as Manila elemi. A tropical tree from the Phillippines, the elemi can grow up to 115 feet tall, and exudes the pale yellow resin when it sprouts leaves—which can grow to nearly a foot long. Related to the trees that produce frankincense, elemi was sometimes used in the place of frankincense when the latter became very expensive. The oil has a citrus-like smell and is a pale yellow in color. The Egyptians are said to have used it in the embalming process, and it also has long been used for skin care and to soothe respiratory problems." }, { "docid": "D895048#0", "title": "http://www.essentialoils.co.za/essential-oils/helichrysum.htm\nHelichrysum essential oil information", "text": "\"Helichrysum essential oil information Helichrysum oil is extracted from Helichrysum angustifolium (also known as Helichrysum italicum), of the Asteraceae (Compositae) family and is commonly known as everlasting oil, Immortelle and St. John's herb (not to be confused with St. John's Wort which is known as Hypericum perforatum).on this page Oil properties Origin of Helichrysum oil Extraction Chemical composition Precautions Therapeutic properties Uses Buying Helichrysum oil from us Go to shopping cart at bottom of page This oil is a strong smelling oil - people normally would describe it as a \"\"herbal smell\"\" and is not unpleasant - yet it does however dominate finer more fragile fragrances.

Yellowish flowers are followed by oval bluish fruit. The leaves, which are deciduous, can be plain, double lobed like maple, or lobed on one side only, like a mitten. The tree is related to the bay and camphor. In America the sassafras is called the ‘laurel of the Iroquois’, after Indians of the eastern United States who held the tree sacred and esteemed it for its therapeutic values. French colonists and explorers in the mid• sixteenth century wrote of how the Indians would make an infusion of the tree bark and give it to those suffering from fever and many other diseases. It was the Spaniards, however, who took the new remedy back to Europe. Cuttings were brought to England in 1610, and trees were cultivated in glasshouses. In the late seventeenth century, Nicolas Lemery listed the properties of sassafras as being an aperitif and sudorific, as fortifying the sight and the brain.

Rosmarinus officinalis is native to the Mediterranean but now grows in many other warm countries such as Spain and Tunisia; it dies if exposed to cold winds and frost in Britain. The leaves are linear (rather similar to those of lavender), dark on top and paler beneath, and the flowers are pale blue, tubular and borne in axillary clusters; both flowers and leaves are very strongly aromatic and it seems the calyxes retain most of the volatile principles. The plant can grow to a height of about 1.8 m (6 ft). Rosemary is probably one of the best known and most used of aromatic herbs. The Ancient Egyptians favoured it, and traces of it have been found in First Dynasty tombs. To the Greeks and Romans it was a sacred plant, and Horace, the Roman poet, composed odes to its magic properties. Both Greeks and Romans believed rosemary symbolized love and death, and this is echoed in later traditional country associations with weddings and funerals. Brides used to wear rosemary entwined in their bouquets; bridesmaids would give rosemary to the groom, and other guests would receive it too as a symbol of loyalty and love. The association of rosemary with funerals obviously involves love and constancy, but it also refers to the herb’s meaning in the language of flowers – remembrance, as referred to by the tragic Ophelia, ‘There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance’." }, { "docid": "D2541029#0", "title": "http://www.londontown.com/LondonAreas/W1/\nLondon area of W1 guide", "text": "London Directory London areas W1London area of W1 guide What to do and where to stay in London's W1 neighbourhood Known as West One or the West End, and comprising of Mayfair, Marylebone and Soho, the W1 postcode district is split into 14 sub-sections, each with another letter tagged on the end.

Essential oils are incredible substances that have a role in all of our lives, and it’s important to pay attention to the many established uses and heavy potential in the relationship between cancer and essential oils. What are Essential Oils, and How Were They Used Historically As the fragrant oil found within various parts of a plant, typically the leaf or flower, essential oils are also called “volatile oils,” referring to the way in which they are released.

While there have been debates as to whether or not Orwell was actually the officer depicted in the story, or if it was a colleague, the focus of the story is on the narrator’s internal struggle to complete his duty as an officer of the British Empire in order to avoid looking like a fool in front of the Burmese people. While the narrator knows that he needs to carry out certain duties because of his position, he does not necessarily feel that the British oppression of the Burmese people is the right thing. However, the Burmese people do not make his job easy because they resent his position as an oppressor, and this creates an ugly cycle of escalating ill-treatment on both sides. Thus, British Imperialism as a whole comes under fire in the narrative, a common theme of Orwell’s writings. In this short story, Orwell explores important themes such as the evils of imperialism, the crisis of conscience, and the struggle with pride.

Piaget believed that children's spontaneous comments provided valuable clues to understanding their thinking. He was not interested in a right or wrong answer, but rather what forms of logic and reasoning the child used. After many years of observation, Piaget concluded that intellectual development is the result of the interaction of hereditary and environmental factors.

A political party is a group of organized voters who support certain policies for their communities, states and nation. The goal of a political party is to elect public officials, such as mayors, governors, senators and the president, who will support and carry out their goals. These goals may include policies on war, taxes and education. When people in a democracy disagree about what the government should do, registered voters express their opinion by voting for the candidate who most closely reflects their political views and opinions. Political candidates are usually members of political parties. This makes it easier for voters to know what the candidate believes in, his or her goals and what changes he or she will make if elected." }, { "docid": "D1003022#0", "title": "https://www.artofliving.org/wisdom/knowledge-sheets/symbolism-ganesha\nThe Symbolism of Ganesha", "text": "Who is Lord Ganesh?

The stupa later fell into ruins and disappeared, and when it was first discovered it was severely damaged by treasure-hunters (who dug into the main vault, looking for buried treasure).

The ASI is also in the process of restoring Marshall house (at the base of the hill), in which Sir John lived during the restoration.

Their strength and power also comes with an ancient wisdom, meaning that they have many lessons to teach us. The elephant spirit guide is cherished across many cultures and religions as a great symbol and spiritual entity. In Christianity, it is an icon of chastity, patience, self-control and abstinence.

[ 1] Other terms employed include transaminasemia [2], transaminitis (which some sources consider pathologically meaningless [3]) and elevated liver enzymes (though they are not the only enzymes in the liver). Normal ranges for both ALT and AST are 8-40 U/L with mild transaminesemia noted to the upward numerical limit of 250 U/L. Drug-induced increases such as that found with the use of anti-tuberculosis agents such as isoniazid are limited typically to below 100 U/L for either ALT or AST. Cirrhosis of the liver or fulminant liver failure secondary to hepatitis commonly reach values for both ALT and AST in the >1000 U/L range.

The concentrations of these transaminases in the serum (the non-cellular portion of blood, also called plasma) are normally low. However, if the liver is damaged, the liver cell ( hepatocyte) membrane becomes more permeable and some of the enzymes leak out into the blood circulation.

The magnitude of alterations occurring among moderate drinkers has remained obscure. Objective: We examined the links between moderate ethanol consumption, body mass index (BMI; in kg/m 2 ), and liver enzymes. Design: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) were recorded from 2164 apparently healthy participants (1028 men, 1136 women) reporting either no alcohol (abstainers) or <40 g ethanol consumption per day (moderate drinkers). The study population was further classified according to BMI as follows: <19 (underweight), ≥19 and <25 (normal weight), ≥25 and <30 (overweight), and ≥30 (obese). Results: Serum ALT ( P < 0.05) and GGT ( P < 0.001) but not AST ( P = 0.805) activities in moderate drinkers were higher than those in abstainers. For all enzymes, a significant main effect was observed of increasing BMI, which was more striking in moderate drinkers than in abstainers. Tests of between-subjects effects indicated significant interactions with sex and drinking status, although not with sex and BMI. Conclusions: The effect of moderate alcohol consumption on liver enzymes increases with increasing BMI. These findings should be considered in the clinical assessment of overweight alcohol consumers and in the definition of normal ranges for liver enzymes." }, { "docid": "D540576#0", "title": "https://hepatitisc.net/diagnosis/understanding-lab-test-results/\nUnderstanding lab test results", "text": "Understanding lab test results SHARE RATE ★ ★ ★ ★ ★If you have hepatitis C (HCV), you probably have lab testing done on a regular basis to monitor your liver function and other health parameters. Understanding lab test results is especially important if you are taking antiviral treatment for HCV, which can have a significant effect on how the body functions. In general, when you look at a lab testing report, information about what is normal for each test parameter is given on the right-hand side of the report. Often reports will show out-of-range values, which makes it easy to identify problems quickly. Another important thing to keep in mind when looking at lab results is that results can vary from lab to lab.

Liver transaminases ( AST or SGOT and ALT or SGPT) are useful biomarkers of liver injury in a patient with some degree of intact liver function. [ 2] [3] [4] Most liver diseases cause only mild symptoms initially, but these diseases must be detected early. Hepatic (liver) involvement in some diseases can be of crucial importance. This testing is performed on a patient's blood sample. Some tests are associated with functionality (e.g., albumin), some with cellular integrity (e.g., transaminase ), and some with conditions linked to the biliary tract ( gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase ). Several biochemical tests are useful in the evaluation and management of patients with hepatic dysfunction." }, { "docid": "D414536#0", "title": "http://www.livestrong.com/article/298291-elevated-liver-enzymes-causes-signs-symptoms/\nElevated Liver Enzymes: Causes, Signs & Symptoms", "text": "Elevated Liver Enzymes: Causes, Signs & Symptomsby SHARON PERKINS Aug. 14, 2017Tests that evaluate liver function include several enzymes found in the heart, skeletal muscle and red blood cells in addition to the liver. The greatest concentration of alanine aminotransferase, sometimes called ALT or sometimes SGPT and aspartate aminotransferase, also called AST or SGOT occurs in the liver. Damage to the liver cells causes ALT and AST to leak into the bloodstream. Normal levels of ALT range from 7 units to 56 units per liter, while normal levels of AST range from 5 units to 40 U/L, according to the Lab Tests Online website. Several types of liver disease cause elevated liver enzymes. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Causes A number of diseases can damage the liver, ranging from acute, temporary elevations to chronic mild elevation. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, commonly called NASH, mostly occurs as a result of overweight or diabetes. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a chronic disease, affects 2 to 5 percent of Americans, mostly middle-aged, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders website reports. Other medications such as cholesterol-lowering medications can also cause liver enzyme elevations. Acute hepatitis A, drug poisoning or overdose with acetaminophen can cause a sudden, very high increase in liver enzymes, more than 10 times the normal range, the Lab Tests Online website says." }, { "docid": "D103645#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/health/low-alt-sgpt-blood-test-result-mean-1431906caa5e023f\nWhat Does a Low ALT SGPT Blood Test Result Mean?", "text": "Health Medical Ranges & Levels Q: What Does a Low ALT SGPT Blood Test Result Mean? A: Quick Answer Low ALT/SGPT means that there are normal levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase, or ALT, in the blood, which indicates that there is no disease or damage to the liver, according to Web MD. ALT used to be called SGPT, or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Does ALT (SGPT) Mean in a Blood Test? What Is ALT in a Blood Test? What Causes Low ALT Levels? Full Answer When the liver is damaged, it releases ALT into the bloodstream, which causes the level of ALT to increase. If ALT is elevated, it most likely indicates liver damage. There are small amounts of ALT in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas as well, so an elevated ALT could also indicate severe systemic damage to these organs and tissues.

Does this mean I have Liver Disease?\"\" So many come to the internet with this question, and while high liver enzymes can indicate a problem, there is more to reading them than one might think, and other tests that may be a better indicator of liver function and serious liver damage or disease. Liver enzymes are a fairly accurate indicator of \"\"recent\"\" inflammation and damage that has occurred in the days leading up to the time blood is drawn for the test. They are a rather poor indicator of cumulative damage and amount of functioning liver tissue actually present at the time of the test. Other factors can influence these enzymes too, like extreme exertion and physical activity prior to the test. A young man with a big healthy liver may spike liver enzymes that are SKY-HIGH coming off a substantial alcoholic binge, while an older man with advanced fibrosis may have enzymes in the normal range, even if he is still drinking. Why? It takes large amounts of liver tissue to generate large amounts of liver enzymes and a diseased liver may contain less than a third of the functioning tissue it did when it was healthy. The remaining tissue in a damaged liver will still give off enzymes when inflamed, but their cumulative output just can't match the amount of enzymes an intact liver can produce when it is inflamed." }, { "docid": "D1687532#0", "title": "http://study.com/academy/lesson/important-liver-values-albumin-alt-alp-ast.html\nImportant Liver Values: Albumin, ALT, ALP & AST", "text": "Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 29K views Create an account to start this course today Try it free for 5 days!Create An Account Recommended Lessons and Courses for You Related Lessons Related Courses Important Proteins and Their Flux in the Blood and Urine The Major Causes of Liver Disease Amylase and Pancreatic Lipase: Causes & Associated Conditions Icterus: The Major Causes of Jaundice Lesson Transcript Instructor: Artem Cheprasov This lesson will discuss three important enzymes that indicate liver or biliary tree issues.

What do elevated AST and ALT liver enzymes mean? Follow Question Answers From Experts & Organizations (1)Medicine Net5,093 Answers 311,554 Helpful Votes 212 Followers A. AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are sensitive indicators of liver damage or injury from different types of diseases. But it must be emphasized that higher-than-normal levels of these liver enzymes should not be automatically equated with liver disease. They may mean liver problems or they may not. For example, elevations of these enzymes can occur with muscle damage. The interpretation of elevated AST and ALT levels depends upon the entire clinical evaluation of an individual, and so it is best done by physicians experienced in evaluating liver disease and muscle disease. Moreover, the precise levels of these enzymes do not correlate well with the extent of liver damage or the prognosis (outlook). Thus, the exact levels of AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) cannot be used to determine the degree of liver disease or predict the future. For example, individuals with acute viral hepatitis A may develop very high AST and ALT levels (sometimes in the thousands of units/liter range). But most people with acute viral hepatitis A recover fully without residual liver disease." }, { "docid": "D1836997#0", "title": "http://www.healthcaremagic.com/search/how-long-does-it-take-for-alcohol-liver-enzymes\nHow long does it take for alcohol liver enzymes", "text": "Get your Health question answered in 3 easy steps Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician).

DAVID E. JOHNSTON, M. D., University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico Am Fam Physician. 1999 Apr 15;59 (8):2223-2230. A number of pitfalls can be encountered in the interpretation of common blood liver function tests. These tests can be normal in patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis. The normal range for aminotransferase levels is slightly higher in males, nonwhites and obese persons. Severe alcoholic hepatitis is sometimes confused with cholecystitis or cholangitis. Conversely, patients who present soon after passing common bile duct stones can be misdiagnosed with acute hepatitis because aminotransferase levels often rise immediately, but alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyltransferase levels do not become elevated for several days. Asymptomatic patients with isolated, mild elevation of either the unconjugated bilirubin or the γ-glutamyltransferase value usually do not have liver disease and generally do not require extensive evaluation. Overall hepatic function can be assessed by applying the values for albumin, bilirubin and prothrombin time in the modified Child-Turcotte grading system." }, { "docid": "D2971625#0", "title": "https://www.caring.com/questions/does-lipitor-cause-the-liver-enzymes-alt-and-ast-to-double-and-does-lipitor-h\nDoes Lipitor cause liver enzymes?", "text": "Does Lipitor cause liver enzymes?1 answer | Last updated: Sep 15, 2016Castles asked...

A recent study done by Athyros and colleagues in 2010 showed the safety of statin use in patients abnormal liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) that were less than three times normal) from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In the study, the patients with fatty liver had the same increases in their liver enzymes as a group who were not given statins. The study also found that the benefits of statin use with fatty liver disease included improved liver function tests compared to the group not given statins, and patients who started the trial with elevated liver function tests derived the greatest cardiovascular benefit of any group." } ]

Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The atypical lymphocyte is a reactive lymphocyte of lymphoid origin that plays an important role in the immune response. An atypical lymphocyte is a nonmalignant white cell (leukocyte) seen in a peripheral blood smear (how a differential is performed). These lymphocytes are a non-specific response to stress from many kinds of stimuli. Atypical lymphocytosis develops when these lymphocytes react to an antigen. An antigen is a foreign protein found on pollen, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, fungi and donor tissue including blood. There a lot of infections, medications and auto-immune disorders that trigger atypical lymphocytes. I strongly suggest you speak to the provider who ordered the CBC and get interpretation from that person. I don't know your health history, why the test was ordered or what other tests were ordered and the results. Asking for interpretation in the way you have done opens the door for misunderstanding and false or misleading information." } ]

The current article provides information regarding the absolute counts of these cell types, as well as the diseases that lead to high lymphocytes and low neutrophils. Neutrophils and lymphocytes are types of white blood cells that play an important and unique role in providing immunity against infections. Abnormal numbers of these cells influence the body's ability to fight infections. Abnormally low neutrophil count (neutropenia) as well as a high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) can be the result of viral infection or an indication of the adult-onset form of cyclic neutropenia, certain lymphoproliferative disorders like lymphomas and leukemias or certain autoimmune diseases. Neutrophils belong to the class polymorphonuclear granulocytes, and have a multilobed nucleus. These phagocytic cells provide the first line of defense against foreign bodies and pathogens, and play a major role in activating an immune response against a pathogenic agent. They occupy the highest count amongst white blood cells, and are divided into two types, segmented neutrophils (segs or polys) and banded neutrophils (bands). Segmented neutrophils circulate in a mature form, and possess a divided or segmented nucleus; while banded neutrophils are immature, and have a band-shaped nucleus.

Patients with bacterial meningitis therefore present with changes in alertness (sensorium) in addition to headache, fever, and meningismus (a stiff neck that is most resistant to flexion.) Intracranial pressure is increased because of cerebral edema and due to interference with the normal circulation and resorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by the inflammatory process.

George 1+ Author Affiliations1Department of Pathology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CANext Section Abstract Leukocytosis, or elevated WBC count, is a commonly encountered laboratory finding. Distinguishing malignant from benign leukocytosis is a critical step in the care of a patient, which initiates a vastly different decision tree. Confirmation of the complete blood cell count and the WBC differential is the first step. Examination of the PB smear is essential to confirming the automated blood cell differential or affirming the manual differential performed on the PB smear. Next is separation of the leukocytosis into a myeloid versus a lymphoid process. Distinguishing a reactive lymphoid proliferation from a lymphoproliferative disorder requires examination of lymphocyte morphology for pleomorphic lymphocytes versus a monomorphic population, with the latter favoring a lymphoproliferative neoplasm. Samples suspicious for lymphoproliferative disorders can be confirmed and characterized by flow cytometry, with molecular studies initiated in select cases; precursor lymphoid neoplasms (lymphoblasts) should trigger a BM examination. Myeloid leukocytosis triggers a differential diagnosis of myeloid leukemoid reactions versus myeloid malignancies. The manual differential is key, along with correct enumeration of blasts and blast equivalents, immature granulocytes, basophils, and eosinophils and identifying dysplasia to identify myeloid malignancies. Confirmation and characterization of myeloid malignancies should be performed with a BM examination and the appropriate ancillary studies." }, { "docid": "D1323485#0", "title": "http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/sym/abnormal_blood_test_symptoms.htm\nAbnormal blood test symptoms", "text": "\"Abnormal blood test symptoms Intro Types Causes Tests Treatment Symptom Checker Misdiagnosis Deaths Videos Must Reads in Health Protecting Your Skin During Winter Watch: My Personal Psoriasis Journey Are You Getting The Best Cancer Care?

Bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin) is an orange-yellow substance made during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin passes through the liver and is eventually excreted out of the body. Higher than normal levels of bilirubin may indicate different types of liver problems. Occasionally, higher bilirubin levels may indicate an increased rate of destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis). Why it's done Bilirubin testing is usually done as part of a group of tests to check the health of your liver. Bilirubin testing may be done to: Investigate jaundice — elevated levels of bilirubin can cause yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice). A common use of the test is to measure bilirubin levels in newborns. Determine whether there might be blockage in your liver's bile ducts Help detect or monitor the progression of other liver disease, such as hepatitis Help detect increased destruction of red blood cells Help follow how a treatment is working Help evaluate suspected drug toxicity Some common tests that might be done at the same time as bilirubin testing include: Liver function tests.

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation Workup Treatment Medication Follow-up References Background Cholestasis is defined as a decrease in bile flow due to impaired secretion by hepatocytes or to obstruction of bile flow through intra-or extrahepatic bile ducts. Therefore, the clinical definition of cholestasis is any condition in which substances normally excreted into bile are retained. The serum concentrations of conjugated bilirubin and bile salts are the most commonly measured. Not all substances normally excreted into bile are retained to the same extent in various cholestatic disorders. In some conditions, serum bile salts may be markedly elevated while bilirubin is only modestly elevated and vice versa. However, demonstrable retention of several substances is needed to establish a diagnosis of cholestasis. Only in rare disorders of bilirubin metabolism (eg, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, Rotor syndrome) does an isolated increase in the serum concentration of conjugated bilirubin appear, so increased serum conjugated bilirubin indicates cholestasis. The histopathologic definition of cholestasis is the appearance of bile within the elements of the liver, usually associated with secondary cell injury. Pathophysiology The mechanisms of cholestasis can be broadly classified into hepatocellular, where an impairment of bile formation occurs, and obstructive, where impedance to bile flow occurs after it is formed. The typical histopathologic features of hepatocellular cholestasis include the presence of bile within hepatocytes and canalicular spaces, in association with generalized cholate injury." }, { "docid": "D14117#0", "title": "https://www.liverdoctor.com/liver-function-tests/\nLiver function tests â what do they mean?", "text": "Home » Articles » Newsletter Article » Liver function tests – what do they mean?

For example, the acutely ill jaundiced patient with a history of prolonged alcohol ingestion requires a different laboratory assessment than the well patient in whom one or more standard liver test results are discovered to be abnormal during routine testing. Additionally, the sequence of liver tests depends heavily on the questions being asked. If it is to determine whether this well person whose brother was recently diagnosed with hemochromatosis also has this genetic disease, then a series of tests will be initiated to detect the possibility of iron overload. If it is to determine whether this spouse has been infected with hepatitis B, then blood tests related to hepatitis B will be required. Thus generic algorithms for the evaluation of liver disease need to be considered skeptically. This chapter is intended to discuss a useful way of thinking about liver tests. It emphasizes limitations of and alternative explanations for isolated abnormalities of common liver test results.

When levels of bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cells, get too high, it can lead to jaundice, or yellowing of the skin. Elevated bilirubin is not common in adults, but it does happen and is usually due to an underlying illness involving the liver such as cirrhosis, hepatitis or Gilbert's syndrome, an inherited disease, according to Medline Plus. No special diet will help lower bilirubin levels, but following a healthy diet that supports liver function may keep levels within normal range. Consult your doctor if you're concerned about bilirubin levels and liver health. Eat Nutrient-Rich Foods Your liver processes the nutrients you eat into energy and filters out toxins in your blood. Eating a diet filled with nutrient-rich foods can help your liver function properly and may help your body better process bilirubin to keep levels within an acceptable range. Nutrient-rich foods for a healthy liver include whole grains; fruits; vegetables; lean sources of protein such as fish, poultry and beans; low-fat dairy; and healthy fats such as oils. Get More Fiber A diet high in fiber is good for your liver, says the American Liver Foundation.

Other liver function tests measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease. Abnormal liver function test results don't always indicate liver disease. Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean. Why it's done Liver function tests can be used to: Screen for liver infections, such as hepatitis Monitor the progression of a disease, such as viral or alcoholic hepatitis, and determine how well a treatment is working Measure the severity of a disease, particularly scarring of the liver (cirrhosis)Monitor possible side effects of medications Liver function tests check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood.

I really cannot do it justice in a short essay, but I think it deserves some mention, if only to give the pet owner some understanding as to the difficulties involved when a veterinarian is faced with a case of possible liver failure. If you asked ten people on the street what they knew about \"\"liver\"\", I would bet that the only consistent answer you would get is that it tastes really bad unless the cook really knows his stuff. The best description of the liver I can give you is that this organ is the main industrial centre of the body. The liver processes raw materials, manufactures the building blocks of the body, recycles the old to make new, and detoxifies the industrial waste of the body. In short the liver is involved in just about every biochemical process required to run e body. As a result of this relationship, liver disease can affect just about any other part of the body and thus the symptoms of liver disease are typically unpredictable and non- specific. Furthermore, because the liver acts as a \"\"biochemical cross roads\"\" for the body, it is affected by a wide range of diseases, including viral and bacterial infections, degenerative and neoplastic disease, and toxic insults. It is estimated that three per cent of all disease seen by veterinarians is liver based.

As we all know, animals cannot talk and they rely on us to find out if anything is wrong. If nothing is wrong with the blood work, we have established a “baseline” for your pet’s blood values. If anything were to happen to your pet down the road, we could refer back to the previous “baseline” to find out what values are abnormal for your pet. Blood work is also recommended for almost all sick animals that come into the clinic as well as all geriatric animals.

There are about 1,000,000 nephrons in each human kidney and nephrons are the active part of the kidney that produces urine while removing waste and excess substances from the blood. The nutrient molecules and some salts and water are reabsorbed back into the blood, while unwanted substances remain within the nephron to become a part of the urine.

[ 1]A standard urine test strip may comprise up to 10 different chemical pads or reagents which react (change color) when immersed in, and then removed from, a urine sample. The test can often be read in as little as 60 to 120 seconds after dipping, although certain tests require longer. Routine testing of the urine with multiparameter strips is the first step in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases.

Paper strips are often specific to a single reaction (e.g. p H measurement), while the strips with pads allow several determinations simultaneously. [ 2]There are strips which serve different purposes, such as qualitative strips that only determine if the sample is positive or negative, or there are semi-quantitative ones that in addition to providing a positive or negative reaction also provide an estimation of a quantitative result, in the latter the colour reactions are approximately proportional to the concentration of the substance being tested for in the sample.

More information about radon can be found by visiting the EPA's radon site at http://www.epa.gov/radon/What is radon? Radon is a cancer causing, radioactive gas. It comes from a natural breakdown of uranium in the soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks, expansion joints and other holes in the foundation. I have never heard of radon. Is it really that dangerous? You cannot see, smell, or taste radon. But it still may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer." }, { "docid": "D2068643#0", "title": "http://www.accuflood.com/Flood_Zone_Glossary_of_Terms.html\n.", "text": "\"What is a \"\"100-year flood\"\"? A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. A base flood may also be referred to as a 100-year storm and the area inundated during the base flood is sometimes called the 100-year floodplain. What does the \"\"100-year flood\"\" mean? The term \"\"100-year flood\"\" is misleading. It is not the flood that will occur once every 100 years. Rather, it is the flood elevation that has a 1- percent chance of being equaled or exceeded each year. Thus, the 100-year flood could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time. The 100-year flood, which is the standard used by most Federal and state agencies, is used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) as the standard for floodplain management and to determine the need for flood insurance. A structure located within a special flood hazard area shown on an NFIP map has a 26 percent chance of suffering flood damage during the term of a 30-year mortgage." }, { "docid": "D3073654#0", "title": "https://www.healthtap.com/topics/back-pain-swollen-ankles\nTop 30 Doctor insights on: Back Pain Swollen Ankles", "text": "Top 30 Doctor insights on: Back Pain Swollen Ankles Share Follow @Health Tap </> Embed Dr. Regina Hampton2 doctors agreed:1 Am I pregnant or not?

This fluid buildup can be caused by a wide variety of factors, ranging from something relatively simple, such as standing too long, to something more serious, such as kidney disease. Treatment is geared toward the underlying cause of the swelling and may include medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes. When trapped fluids are the cause, this condition is referred to as peripheral edema. Some medical conditions that may cause fluids to become trapped in the lower extremities include heart failure or reduced kidney function. Standing for prolonged periods of time may also lead to this condition, as can some prescription medications. Some immune system disorders are prone to causing lower extremity edema. This swelling is not related to an accumulation of fluid, but instead is a result of inflammatory disease. Some potential causes of this type of edema include gout, broken bones, and certain types of arthritis.

If you’re planning a trip to altitudes over 8,000 feet, talk with your doctor about high-altitude illness (also called mountain sickness and altitude sickness). What causes high-altitude illness? The higher you climb above sea level, the less oxygen there is in the air. The oxygen level becomes very low at altitude above 8,000 feet. This causes problems for people who normally live at lower altitudes because their bodies aren’t used to working on so little oxygen. If you stay at a high altitude for a long time, your body gets used to the low oxygen level, and you don’t get sick from it. The following are the 3 main types of high-altitude illness: Acute mountain sickness High-altitude pulmonary edema (also called HAPE), which effects the lungs High-altitude cerebral edema (also called HACE), which effects the brain How can I prevent high-altitude illness? You can do 2 important things to prevent high-altitude illness: Take your time traveling to higher altitudes. When you travel to a high altitude, your body will begin adjusting right away to the lower amount of oxygen in the air, but it takes several days for your body to adjust completely." }, { "docid": "D1409282#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060729102227AASTGAo\nI heard somewhere that sleeping with your legs elevated is good. is it and what does it help?", "text": "Health Other - Health I heard somewhere that sleeping with your legs elevated is good. is it and what does it help?

Cable-driven, hydraulic, and pneumatic elevators each offer benefits and drawbacks. A cable-driven elevator uses cables wound around a drum to raise and lower the elevator in the shaft. Some excavation may be required to install the elevator. Cable-driven elevators are generally less expensive than hydraulic models, but the cables must be replaced every three to five years. Cable-driven elevators are also noisier and not as smooth as other types of elevators. Hydraulic elevators use pressurized hydraulic fluid to move the cab. They use more consumable elements and require more maintenance than other residential elevators. They are more expensive than cable-driven elevators, but they offer a quieter and smoother ride." }, { "docid": "D3378945#0", "title": "http://support.d-tools.com/01_SIX/User_Guide/04_Projects/03_Visio_Interface/Visio_Shapes_for_SIX/02_Elevation_Shapes\nElevation Shapes", "text": "\"Home SIX 2013 Documentation User Guide Projects Visio Interface Visio Shapes for SIXHome > SIX 2013 Documentation > User Guide > Projects > Visio Interface > Visio Shapes for SIX > Elevation Shapes Elevation Shapes Table of contents Details Shape Data Window Missing Dimensions Real Pic Shapes Top View Plan Scale Shape Side View Equipment Rack DIN Rail Shapes DIN Panel/Rail/Enclosure DIN Component Site Map for Projects Full Site Map Details Elevation shapes are shapes that scale automatically based on the dimensions of a Product and are located in the Elevation Shapes Visio stencil.

Photo: null/Arclight/Alamy If you’ve sat in an airplane’s window seat, you know what the world looks like from a mile up. It’s that point during takeoff and landing when you can pick out an individual car beetling along a highway; when, on a clear day, you can see the city bleed into its suburbs and trace the outline of a mountain range beyond but still find your favorite bocce court if you know where to look. Individual humans are barely detectable from this height, but humanity’s traces ooze to the horizon. In the not unimaginably distant future, this will be the view from someone’s breakfast nook. The mile-high skyscraper makes a little more sense to build now than it did when Frank Lloyd Wright designed one nearly 60 years ago. Wright imagined, on the fringes of Chicago, a habitable 528-story sundial called the Illinois. That idea wasn’t buildable then; its successor would still be risky, financially ruinous, slow to construct, and inefficient to operate. But that doesn’t mean a mile-high skyscraper won’t get done. “ Going big has been a trend ever since the pyramids." }, { "docid": "D3232711#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070419160759AA16nE3\nWhat is the difference between AGL and MSL?", "text": "Cars & Transportation Aircraft What is the difference between AGL and MSL?

He recognized the presence of a new element in ilmenite when he found a black sand by a stream in the nearby parish of Manaccan and noticed the sand was attracted by a magnet. Analysis of the sand determined the presence of two metal oxides; iron oxide (explaining the attraction to the magnet) and 45.25% of a white metallic oxide he could not identify. Gregor, realizing that the unidentified oxide contained a metal that did not match the properties of any known element, reported his findings to the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall and in the German science journal Creel's Annalen. Martin Heinrich Klaproth named titanium for the Titans of Greek mythology. Around the same time, Franz Joseph Muller also produced a similar substance, but could not identify it. The oxide was independently rediscovered in 1795 by German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth in Rutile from Hungary. Klaproth found that it contained a new element and named it for the Titans of Greek mythology. After hearing about Gregor's earlier discovery, he obtained a sample of manaccanite and confirmed it contained titanium.1s 22s 2 2p 63s 2 3p 6 3d 24s 2The processes required to extract titanium from its various ores are laborious and costly; it is not possible to reduce in the normal manner, by heating in the presence of carbon, because that produces titanium carbide." }, { "docid": "D892577#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_Fever_%282002_film%29\nCabin Fever (2002 film)", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cabin Fever Theatrical release poster Directed by Eli Roth Produced by Evan Astrowsky Sam Froelich Lauren Moews Eli Roth Written by Randy Pearlstein Eli Roth Story by Eli Roth Starring Rider Strong Jordan Ladd Cerina Vincent Joey Kern Giuseppe Andrews Music by Angelo Badalamenti Nathan Barr Cinematography Scott Kevan Edited by Ryan Folsey Production company Black Sky Entertainment Distributed by Lionsgate Films Release date September 14, 2002 ( TIFF)September 12, 2003 (U.

It was produced by Lauren Moews and Evan Astrowsky and executive produced by Susan Jackson. The film was the directing debut of Roth, who co-wrote the film with Randy Pearlstein. The story follows a group of college graduates who rent a cabin in the woods and begin to fall victim to a flesh-eating virus. The inspiration for the film's story came from a real life experience during a trip to Iceland when Roth developed a skin infection. Roth wanted the style of his film to make a departure from many modern horror films that had been released at the time. [ 2] One modern horror film, The Blair Witch Project, did inspire Roth to use the Internet to help promote the film during its production and help gain interest towards its distribution. [ 3] The film itself, however, draws from many of Roth's favorite horror films, such as The Evil Dead, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Last House on the Left.

That was, in my estimation, the best season finale in Boardwalk Empire 's four seasons. It was also possibly the best episode in the series' run. Writers Terence Winter and Howard Korder, as well as director Tim Van Patten, did an exquisite job whetting the audience's appetite for Season Five with a succinct concluding montage featuring a brief update on all key players, and offering hope of, but necessarily committing to, the return of characters like Daughter Maitland and Sally Wheet. But what these three men should be commended for with this episode is their beautiful send-off to a much-beloved character who will be sorely missed, even as we weep tears of joy that Richard Harrow is, at long last, at peace.10 Wicked 'Boardwalk Empire' Villains Fans can also rejoice in the knowledge that Chalky made it out alive, although he paid a heavy price for his life – and that Dr. Narcisse did not go the same route as Gyp Rosetti.

He began shooting Super 8 films at the age of eight, after watching Ridley Scott's Alien (1979) and vomiting, and deciding he wanted to be a producer/director. With his brothers and friends, ketchup for blood and his father's power tools, he made over fifty short films before attending film school at N. Y. U., where he won a student Academy Award and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1994. Eli worked in film and theater production in New York City for many years, doing every job from production assistant to assistant editor to assistant to the director. At the age of 20 Roth was development head for producer Fred Zollo, a position he soon left to write full time. To earn a living, Roth did budgets and schedules for the films A Price Above Rubies (1998) and Illuminata (1998) and often worked as a stand-in, where he could watch directors work with the actors. In 1995, Roth co-wrote the script that would eventually become Cabin Fever (2002) with friend Randy Pearlstein, and the two spent many years unsuccessfully trying to get the film financed. Roth left New York in 1999 to live in Los Angeles, and within four months got funding for his animation series Chowdaheads (1999).

Open Document Eliezer Wiesel loses his faith in god, family and humanity through the experiences he has from the Nazi concentration camp. Eliezer loses faith in god. He struggles physically and mentally for life and no longer believes there is a god. \"\" Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to dust...\"\" (pg 32). Elie worked hard to save himself and asks god many times to help him and take him out of his misery. \"\" Why should I bless his name? The eternal, lord of the universe, the all-powerful and terrible was silent...\"\" (pg 31). Eliezer is confused, because he does not know why the Germans would kill his face, and does not know why god could let such a thing happen. \"\" I did not deny god's existence, but I doubted his absolute justice...\"\" (pg 42).

A: Quick Answer Titanium is considered paramagnetic, as it has no standing magnetic field of its own, but it develops one in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field.

Full Answer Titanium is a strong, low-density metal that is used in many industrial and medical applications. One of its advantages as a material is its low thermal and electrical conductivity compared with other metals. This low conductivity inhibits the flow of magnetic force through the metal, though it can be alloyed with other metals that do have an intrinsic magnetic field.

The metal's popularity for men's or women's engagement and wedding rings is unsurpassed. 10kt, 14kt and 18kt are the most common karat values found. The larger the karat, the higher the percentage of pure gold in the ring and the more expensive it will be. The hardness and durability of gold varies depending on karat, so it is important to take these factors into account when selecting a gold ring. Gold rings come in a number of gold colors-the most common being yellow, white and rose. Yellow gold is the most popular and quintessential color. White gold is also increasing in popularity but tends to be a bit more expensive than others. When selecting a white gold ring, choosing one that is rhodium plated would be wise.

( February 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Forge welding (FOW) is a solid-state welding process [1] that joins two pieces of metal by heating them to a high temperature and then hammering them together. [ 2] It may also consist of heating and forcing the metals together with presses or other means, creating enough pressure to cause plastic deformation at the weld surfaces. [ 3] The process is one of the simplest methods of joining metals and has been used since ancient times. Forge welding is versatile, being able to join a host of similar and dissimilar metals.

The name Eliana is a Latinized mutation of the Hebrew name Eliyanah which means ‘God has answered me’ or the ‘Lord has responded.’ The name is derived from the Hebrew words “El” (meaning ‘God’) and “ana” (meaning ‘answered’). The middle element of the name indicates a first person possession, hence the full meaning: God has answered me specifically. Eliana is mainly used among Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, but it has also been adopted by English speakers by way of combining the popular names “Elle” and “Anna.” Elliana with two “L”s is mainly an Americanized respelling but has also appeared in Australia. Popularity of the Name Elliana Elliana (with two Ls) made her debut on the U. S. female naming charts for the first time this century in 2005. The name is basically following the popularity of her more traditional sister Eliana (with one L). The more typical spelling (Eliana) is vastly more popular than Elliana, Elianna or Iliana, but it really comes down to preference since all four have essentially the same pronunciation. Americans tend to prefer the fanciful double-L or double-N spellings over other English-speaking nations." }, { "docid": "D2333019#0", "title": "http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Elianna\nWhat does Elianna mean?", "text": "\"What does Elianna mean?

It takes a few years for the name to decide what it wants to do on the charts and then suddenly in 1996 it becomes clear Eliana is headed up the list of most popular girls’ names in America. Within 15 years, the name advances over 800 spots on the charts; if Eliana keeps up its current trajectory, we expect to see the name land a spot on the Top 100 list in a few more years.

Finding an affordable Florida home insurance policy is a challenge in most parts of the state. Especially because most national companies no longer write homeowners insurance coverage here. At the present time only 40 Florida home insurance companies out of over 400 companies licensed to write home insurance are still open for new business. If your home is located in a Southern Florida coastal county, it is even harder for you to find Florida home insurance quotes . Most southern coastal counties have about 25 companies on average that are actively writing new business – and the closer your home is to the water, the number of companies that are willing to cover your home drops off dramatically. Many Florida coastal homes end up seeking coverage with Citizens Property Insurance Corporation where they are subject to higher premiums and special assessments. However, just because your home is located in a Florida coastal area doesn’t always mean you have to pay more for insurance. You can find other affordable options to cover your Florida coastal home if you know where to look. While there are many factors that can affect your ability to find insurance for your Florida coastal home including its age and construction materials, the two main considerations are whether your home is located in the Citizens Wind Pool and the underwriting guidelines being used by private Florida home insurance companies for coastal homes." } ]

A: A special needs trust is a tool that can hold assets for the benefit of a disabled person, without those assets counting as the property of the disabled person. This is important, as Medi-Cal and SSI rules allow a beneficiary to possess no more than $2,000.00 of countable assets. Assets in a properly drafted special needs trust can provide supplemental benefits for an individual without counting against this $2,000.00 limit. A disabled individual can accordingly be a named beneficiary of the special needs trust and also continue to receive benefits under Medi-Cal and SSI. Without a properly drafted special needs trust, the receipt of an inheritance, personal injury settlement, or gift would cause an SSI or Medi-Cal recipient to lose their eligibility for benefits. Q: What can a special needs trust pay for? A: Depending on its terms, a special needs trust can pay for anything. The problem is not what the trust can do, but how the SSI and Medi-Cal programs will treat the receipt of income by the beneficiary. It is almost never a good idea to give cash, or anything that can be converted to cash, directly to the beneficiary." }, { "docid": "D134990#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0047235291900816\nCross-sectional jury representation or systematic jury representation?

Simple random and cluster sampling strategies in jury selection Hiroshi Fukurai Edgar W. Butler Richard Krooth Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0047-2352 (91)90081-6 Get rights and content Abstract This article presents a technical comparison of two methods of selecting juries. The research site was the Long Beach Superior Court in California. LISREL and computer-generated graphics were the analytic methods used. The analysis demonstrates that, if a representative list of prospective jurors is to be obtained, court officials must recognize the effects of racial and socioeconomic factors on residential segregation, and the selection procedure must take these factors into account. Minority and ethnic groups are unequally distributed within the jurisdiction studied. Traditional methods of jury selection, which are based on simple random sampling, are inadequate because they generate unrepresentative juror pools. In contrast, a cluster sampling method with the probability proportionate to size (PPS) incorporates residential segregation and generates a pool of jurors that reflects the cross-section of the community. Two test statistics, chi-square and Z, substantiated that cluster sampling is clearly superior to the currently employed simple random-selection method. Assurance of a cross-sectional representation of potential jurors is congruent with the requirement established by the Federal Jury Selection and Service Act of 1968." }, { "docid": "D200898#0", "title": "https://www.pensionwindups.morneaushepell.com/en/windup_faqs.asp\nWind up FAQs", "text": "Wind up FAQs What is a pension plan wind up?

Although a healthy practice from a sanitation standpoint, regular and unnecessary shocking may lead to a buildup of chloramines and an unnecessary lightening of the wallet. Superchlorinating the pool - is this different from shocking the pool? Many think not, and use the terms interchangeably. I therefore offer this distinct distinction: Shocking: Shocking the pool occurs when you have reached what's known as breakpoint chlorination. This is a threshold that is achieved when the ppm (parts per million) of chlorine reaches 10X the level of chloramines present in the pool water. If you go only 90% of the way there, and not actually reach this threshold of breakpoint chlorination, you will only contribute to a worsening problem - that of creating more chloramines (a chloramine is a combination of a chlorine molecule joined with an ammonia or a nitrogen). When breakpoint chlorination is reached, imagine a lighting bolt ripping through the water, \"\"shocking\"\" everything in the pool (at a microscopic level). With such a high level of chlorine in the water, every molecule floating around is broken apart, and every pathogen or bacteria strain floating around suffers from the shock, with the invasive chlorine molecule overpowering it, and ripping it apart from the inside out. If we could watch the process on the big screen, it would surely look rather violent." }, { "docid": "D1081418#0", "title": "http://www.ebay.com/gds/Salt-Water-Pool-Chlorine-Generator-Tips-/10000000001527511/g.html\nWhat is a salt water pool / chlorine generator?", "text": "\"Home Buying Guides Home & Garden Other Home & Garden What is a salt water pool / chlorine generator?m7powers 172K Views 1,845 Likes Like Share February 18, 2016This review contains information I wish I had three years ago when first starting out and I hope it helps you learn about this technology quickly! It is written in two sections: A general explanation, and then my ownership experiences. Friends, if you appreciate this guide then please take a moment to give it a Yes vote -- thanks in advance. I first learned about saltwater pools from a friend who's summer project one year was about $120,000 worth of backyard landscaping which included, among other things, a saltwater pool with a waterfall. I had never heard of a saltwater pool before, and he explained that the main reason he used a saltwater solution in his pool was to reduce the operating costs. I thought saltwater pools were exotic technology but it turns out they are definitely cheaper to operate and maintain than traditional treated pools. Thankfully Intex, and many other manufacturers, make this equipment at a reasonable price so you don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy the technology.1. General Explanation: A chlorine generator is a new type of support equipment for recreational pools that eliminates the cost of purchased chlorine. Pools equipped with a chlorine generator, available in either stand alone units or in combination with a pump, generate chlorine automatically using the pool water itself and thereby avoid the cost associated with purchasing chlorine. In order to utilize a chlorine generator, the pool water must be converted from a freshwater pool to what is called a \"\"saltwater pool\"\"." }, { "docid": "D2357396#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-purpose-of-the-garbage-collector-in-Java\nWhat is the purpose of the garbage collector in Java?", "text": "First of all, Thanks for the A2A. What is Garbage Collection? Memory management is one of the most crucial part for any programming language. In the Java programming language, dynamic memory allocation of objects is achieved using the new operator. Once an object is created, it uses some memory and the memory remains allocated till there are references for the use of the object. When there are no references for an object, it is assumed to be no longer needed and the memory occupied by the object can be reclaimed. There is no explicit need to destroy an object as java handles the de-allocation automatically. In general, garbage means unreferenced objects. Garbage Collection is a way to destroy the unused objects. To achieve garbase collection ,we are using free () function in C language and delete () in C++.

ABLE Accounts, which are tax-advantaged savings accounts for individuals with disabilities and their families, were created as a result of the passage of the Stephen Beck Jr., Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014 or better known as the ABLE Act. The beneficiary of the account is the account owner, and income earned by the accounts will not be taxed. Contributions to the account, which can be made by any person (the account beneficiary, family and friends), must be made using post-taxed dollars and will not be tax deductible for purposes of federal taxes, however some states may allow for state income tax deductions for contribution made to an ABLE account. Why the need for ABLE accounts? Millions of individuals with disabilities and their families depend on a wide variety of public benefits for income, health care and food and housing assistance.

Eliquis (apixaban) blocks the activity of certain clotting substances in the blood. Eliquis is used to lower the risk of stroke caused by a blood clot in people with a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation. Eliquis is also used after hip or knee replacement surgery to prevent a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Eliquis is also used to treat DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE), and to lower your risk of having a repeat DVT or PE. Slideshow10 Common Symptoms That Should Never Be Ignored Important information You should not take Eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve, or if you have any active bleeding from a surgery, injury, or other cause. Eliquis can cause a very serious blood clot around your spinal cord if you undergo a spinal tap or receive spinal anesthesia (epidural), especially if you have a genetic spinal defect, if you have a spinal catheter in place, if you have a history of spinal surgery or repeated spinal taps, or if you are also using other drugs that can affect blood clotting. This type of blood clot can lead to long-term or permanent paralysis. Get emergency medical help if you have symptoms of a spinal cord blood clot such as back pain, numbness or muscle weakness in your lower body, or loss of bladder or bowel control.

These clots can then be injected to the body organs, and if they reach the brain, a stroke can occur. Because of this, stroke prevention includes taking blood thinning medications. Treating Atrial Fibrillation for Stroke Prevention For many years, one drug, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) , was the proven therapy for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Warfarin is an anticoagulant, or blood thinner, but the drug doesn’t actually make the blood thinner: It makes it less likely to clot. Warfarin works by blocking the body’s ability to recycle vitamin K, which is found in many of the small proteins that come together to create a clot. With less vitamin K circulating throughout the body, fewer proteins are available and, as a consequence, the body requires more time to form a clot. But warfarin is a tough drug to take long term: Studies show that around 30 percent of people will stop taking it. Frequent blood tests are required to regulate the proper dose of warfarin, which also interacts with other drugs, herbs, and food sources. Diets are often modified to minimize the amount of vitamin K consumed and to make the drug’s effects in the body more predictable." }, { "docid": "D251352#0", "title": "https://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2015/01/08/new-eliquis-apixaban-alert-unexpected-side-effect/\nNew Eliquis (Apixaban) Alert: Unexpected Side Effect", "text": "3.32 176 ratings New Eliquis (Apixaban) Alert: Unexpected Side Effect Side effects of the new generation anticoagulants like Eliquis (apixaban), Pradaxa (dabigatran) and Xarelto (rivaroxaban) can be scary.

The drug is also used to prevent blood clots after knee replacement surgery and to reduce the risks of blood clots in the legs or lungs from deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Admittedly, the number of cases of colon cancer or liver damage is very small, but this will require careful follow-up to make sure there isn’t a trend developing.

People who have AFib are at high risk of stroke—a risk that increases with age. But these medicines, apixaban (Eliquis), dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and warfarin (Coumadin and generic), can have serious side effects, so they should only be prescribed after a person’s risk of stroke, and their vulnerability to side effects, is carefully assessed. Why? Because the most concerning safety issue with anticoagulants is the risk of internal bleeding, and particularly bleeding in the brain. About one in six people who take an anticoagulant will experience some kind of internal bleeding, for example in their stomach, intestines, or urinary tract. And about 3 percent of people who take an anticoagulant will have a major bleeding episode, including those in the brain that, if not treated immediately, could be fatal. One of the anticoagulants—warfarin—has been on the market for more than 50 years. Several others have been approved since 2010. Taking into account the evidence for effectiveness and safety, as well as cost, we have chosen generic warfarin as a Consumer Reports Best Buy drug." }, { "docid": "D568379#0", "title": "http://discoveryrehab.com/20-things-to-know-about-eliquis-apixaban/\n20 Important Eliquis® Facts You Need to Know About (Apixaban)", "text": "20 Important Eliquis® Facts You Need to Know About (Apixaban)Table of Contents [ show]1.) Eliquis (Apixaban) is a relatively new medication and selective inhibitor. It is used mainly to prevent harmful blood clots from forming in the blood vessels. Eliquis is mostly used to prevent blood clots for people who have had a total hip replacement or knee replacement surgery, for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the veins) and the prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation.2.) The drug prevents clot formation by blocking an important pathway Coagulation cascade is a series of reactions, by which, certain protein complex reacts with co-factors and become active components that then catalyze the next reaction in the series to make a bigger complex, ultimately resulting in cross-linked fibrin (blood clot). Eliquis prevents an important step in this series of reactions by selectively and reversibly blocking the active site of an enzyme (responsible for activation of Factor X to Factor Xa) without requiring a cofactor (e.g., antithrombin III) and breaks the chain to clot formation. ( Activation of Factor X to Factor Xa via the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways plays a central role in the blood coagulation)Unlike the previously best known anticoagulant Warfarin, Eliquis is far much better because it significantly reduces: Risk of stroke or systemic embolism by 21%Risk of major bleeding by 31%Mortality by 11%3.) Pfizer predicted first-year sales of $350 million after the FDA approved the drug. However, Eliquis sales for 2013 could not even reach $129 million marks.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. In a healthy heart, oxygen-rich blood moves from your lungs to the left upper chamber of your heart. The upper chambers are called your atria. Your atria pump the blood into the two lower chambers of your heart, known as your ventricles. Blood from your lungs is pumped from the left atrium into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps your blood around your body and back to the right atrium, the right ventricle, and then your lungs. Electrical impulses allow each part of your heart to beat in rhythm with other parts. If you have AFib, your heart’s electrical signals become disorganized. This causes your heart’s atria to beat chaotically, preventing proper blood flow." }, { "docid": "D568380#0", "title": "https://www.drugs.com/answers/you-drink-alcohol-taking-eliquis-742650.html\nCan you drink alcohol while taking Eliquis?", "text": "Home › Q & A › Questions › Can you drink alcohol while...

This is the latest step in a long process towards FDA approval; however, records show thousands of users could benefit immediately. The development comes as use of three new drugs: Xarelto, Pradaxa and Eliquis have swelled in recent years as patients move away from the blood testing and diet restrictions of stalwart anticoagulant Coumadin. Trials have shown the three newer drugs may be better at preventing blood clots that plague those with atrial fibrillation and who have undergone surgery. They may also result in fewer instances of internal bleeding. However, when it does strike it can turn deadly. Coumadin, the trade name for warfarin, is a cumbersome drug with many dangerous side effect risks of its own. However, in situations of severe internal bleeding doctors can give an antidote injection to quickly stop it. So far, the same isn’t available for Xarelto, Pradaxa and Eliquis. Portola’s new antidote, Andexanet alfa, has shown promising results in phase I and phase II clinical trials for stopping bleeding for Xarelto and Eliquis." } ]

REBT theory is based on the ABC model, where A stands for activating events, B for beliefs, and C for various psychological outcomes. Based on REBT, psychological outcomes are not generated by A (the activating events), but by how one cognitively processes them. Rational beliefs refer to beliefs that have logical, empirical, and/or pragmatic support; in interaction with various A, they produce functional psychological consequences. Irrational beliefs refer to beliefs that do not have logical, empirical, and/or pragmatic support; in interaction with A, they generate dysfunctional psychological consequences. REBT theory is a motivational theory, part of the appraisal paradigm. Our desires/goals can be formulated rationally and/or irrationally. Some people formulate their desires/goals rigidly (e.g., “I must be loved by my wife and cannot accept if this does not happen”), with demandingness/DEM as a primary irrational appraisal. When DEM is not confirmed by A, secondary irrational appraisal mechanisms follow: (1) frustration intolerance/FI (e.g., “I cannot stand if what I think should happen doesn’t happen”); (2) awfulizing/catastrophizing/AWF (e.g., “It is awful if what I think should happen doesn’t happen”); and (3) global evaluation in the form of self-downing (e.g., GE/SD: “I am worthless if my wife does not love me as she should”), other downing (e.g., GE/OD: “My wife is damnable because she does not love me as she should”), and/or life downing (e.g., GE/LD: “Life is totally bad if my wife does not love me as she should”). The combination of primary and secondary irrational appraisals generates dysfunctional negative feelings, maladaptive behaviors, and/or unhealthy psychophysiological reactions." }, { "docid": "D2703347#0", "title": "https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=ellis\nEllis Family History", "text": "Ellis Family History14-Day Free Trial GIVE ME ACCESSEllis Name Meaning English and Welsh: from the medieval personal name Elis, a vernacular form of Elijah (see Elias).

How students learn and why they achieve differently has been a field of interest among many scholars, especially in the field of second language (L2) learning. Many studies have been conducted about the different factors that affect learner variables, both cognitively and affectively. On a general basis, there are mainly three factors that contribute to the individual differences in L2 learning experience: learning styles, learning strategies and affective variables; Motivation being one of the most important issues in affective variables. ( Ehrman et all, 2003) According to Wigfield (1994), motivation is based on how much the individual expect to succeed and their value of their success. Gardner defined motivation as the combination of effort plus desire to achieve the goal (learning the language) and favorable attitudes towards it.

People with this condition have particularly short forearms and lower legs and a narrow chest with short ribs. Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is also characterized by the presence of extra fingers and toes ( polydactyly ), malformed fingernails and toenails, and dental abnormalities. More than half of affected individuals are born with a heart defect, which can cause serious or life-threatening health problems. The features of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome overlap with those of another, milder condition called Weyers acrofacial dysostosis. Like Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Weyers acrofacial dysostosis involves tooth and nail abnormalities, although affected individuals have less pronounced short stature and typically do not have heart defects.

Admittedly, many would prefer not to talk about such a morbid topic, yet the realities are clear if one chooses to look at the statistics produced by the Center for Disease and Control (CDC). Suicide rates will continue to climb until more preventative programs are developed. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT) are designed not only to reactively work with a suicidal adolescent, but more importantly, are structured to formulate work in a proactive manner. Nevertheless, a review of the literature is disappointing. Moreover, there was a paucity of research on the application of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) and its application to suicidal adolescents. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) was developed and is still practiced by Albert Ellis. It is considered to be one the many cognitive-behavioral treatment modalities currently used in the mental health arena.

The progressive aspects (also called \"\"continuous tenses\"\") are formed by using the appropriate tense of estar + gerund, and the perfect constructions are formed by using the appropriate tense of haber + past participle.

That's mostly because Spanish has other ways of saying \"\"it\"\" — or not stating it at all. This lesson looks at translations for \"\"it\"\" in four situation, depending on how \"\"it\"\" is used in relation to the other words in a sentence: as the subject of a sentence, as the direct object of a verb, as an indirect object of a verb and as the object of a preposition. Saying 'It' in Spanish as the Subject of a Sentence Because it has an extensive verb conjugation, Spanish is able to frequently omit the subjects of sentences entirely, depending on the context to make clear what the subject is. When the subject of a sentence is inanimate, something that would be referred to as \"\"it,\"\" it is very unusual in Spanish to use a subject at all:¿Dónde está el teléfono? Está aquí.

Here is the present tense conjugation of the infinitive “to speak”:to speak I speak you speak he speaks she speaks we speak you-all speak they speak The present tense in Spanish can mean three things. The Spanish phrase “yo hablo” can mean:yo hablo I speakyo hablo I am speakingyo hablo I do speak Many Spanish verbs are completely regular, meaning that they follow a specific pattern of conjugation. In this lesson you will learn to conjugate regular -ar, -er, and -ir verbs (in the present tense).

( Come with me.). Paul Bradbury/Getty Imagesby Gerald Erichsen Updated January 07, 2018The easy part about learning the grammar of pronouns in Spanish is that they follow a structure similar to the pronouns of English, serving as subjects as well as objects of verbs and prepositions. The tricky part, at least for people whose first language is English, is remembering which pronouns to use. While English uses the same pronouns as objects of prepositions and for direct and indirect objects of verbs, Spanish has a different set of pronouns for each usage, and those sets overlap. The subject pronouns and prepositional pronouns are identical except in the first-person singular and familiar second-person singular forms. How To Use Prepositional Pronouns As you can probably guess, prepositional pronouns are those that come after prepositions. In a sentence such as \"\" Tengo una sorpresa para ella \"\" (I have a surprise for her), para (for) is the preposition and ella (her) is the prepositional pronoun. Here are the prepositional pronouns of Spanish along with examples of their usage:mí (first-person singular, equivalent of \"\"me\"\"): El regalo es para mí.

Although conjugation rules are relatively straightforward, a large number of verbs are irregular. Among these, some fall into more-or-less defined deviant patterns, whereas others are uniquely irregular. This article summarizes the common irregular patterns. As in all Romance languages, many irregularities in Spanish verbs can be retraced to Latin grammar.

The following examples use the first person plural of the present subjunctive:c/qu: tocar > toquemos, delinquir > delincamos.z/c: gozar > gocemos, vencer > venzamos.g/j: proteger > protejamos. But in verbs ending in -jar, the j is kept before e: mojar > mojemos.g/gu: negar > neguemos, distinguir > distingamos.gu/gü: averiguar > averigüemos. Other predictable changes involve stress marks, i/y alternances and i -dropping, some of which are sometimes considered as irregularities.

Kielan Rybicka Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0040-8166 (96)80013-9 Get rights and content Abstract This article reviews the data concerning the electron microscopical interpretation of glycogen. It demonstrates that glycogen in the cell is associated with the enzymes involved in its metabolism and that the glycogen-protein complex forms morphologically distinct cell organelles called glycosomes. Glycogen can be visualized in the electron microscope (EM) by histochemical procedures, or by negative staining, but it does not react with heavy metals such as uranium and lead. The protein component of glycosomes, stainable by heavy metals, appears in EM as 20–30 nm granules. While biochemical findings have long indicated the association of glycogen and protein in the cell, morphological interpretation traditionally defined the protein component of glycosomes as particles of glycogen. Accordingly, the term α or β particles, introduced to define particles of glycogen, became subsequently applied to the protein component visible in sections stained by heavy metals. The history of microscopic research reveals the conditions which led to such interpretation. Morphological analysis of the reaction of glycosomes to the acids shows that glycosomes deposited free in the cytosol (lyoglycosomes) are acid labile, whereas the others (desmoglycosomes), intimately associated with different cellular structures, are acid-resistant. These 2 groups correspond to lyo- and desmoglycogen distinguished in early biochemical studies on the basis of their different resistance to the cold trichloroacetic acid. The theory of glycosomes provides a new paradigm which clarifies numerous unexplained data in the microscopic literature on glycogen, and opens a vast field for the research on the cellular metabolism of glycogen, with the use of modern molecular and cellular biology techniques." }, { "docid": "D1530713#0", "title": "https://www.pinterest.com/pin/397090892129855286/\nExplore Poster, Science, and more!", "text": "\"Sign up Log in Pinterest Explore Poster, Science, and more!Poster Science Visual Aids Health Html Cavities Medical The Body Types Of Medical and Health Science: Epithelial Tissue!See More Nursing Schools Skin Anatomy Anatomy Study Screen Shot Flawless Skin Science Articles Anatomy And Physiology Layers Of Skin Layers Of Dermis Anatomy of Skin- The epidermis The epidermis is made up of five sublayers: the stratum corneum, stratum lucidium, stratum granulosm, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale.

( Discuss) Proposed since October 2017. Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. It has been used to overcome distance barriers and to improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations. [ 1]Although there were distant precursors to telemedicine, it is essentially a product of 20th century telecommunication and information technologies. These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and fidelity, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another. Early forms of telemedicine achieved with telephone and radio have been supplemented with videotelephony, advanced diagnostic methods supported by distributed client/server applications, and additionally with telemedical devices to support in-home care.

As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. A scanning transmission electron microscope has achieved better than 50 pm resolution in annular dark-field imaging mode [1] and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas most light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x. Electron microscopes have electron optical lens systems that are analogous to the glass lenses of an optical light microscope. Electron microscopes are used to investigate the ultrastructure of a wide range of biological and inorganic specimens including microorganisms, cells, large molecules, biopsy samples, metals, and crystals. Industrially, electron microscopes are often used for quality control and failure analysis. Modern electron microscopes produce electron micrographs using specialized digital cameras and frame grabbers to capture the image.

Technical Answer: (Source: http://www.physlink.com/Educatio...) Goldilocks and the Three Bears example of this radiation is too big and slow and this radiation is too small and fast. Gamma rays, visible light, and radio waves are all examples of electromagnetic radiation, and radio waves are on one end of the spectrum (with a wavelength of meters), gamma rays are on the other end (with a wavelength of about 10-12 meters) and visible light is somewhere in between (with a wavelength of around 5 x 10-7 meters). Three things happen to EM radiation when it encounters a barrier. It can bounce (reflectance or scattering), pass through (transmittance), or just plain stop (absorbance). The intensity of radiation transmitted depends on several things: The wavelength of the radiation The intensity of the radiation hitting the barrier The chemical composition of the barrier The physical microstructure of the barrier The thickness of the barrier Your question has to do with #1, but keep in mind that powerful enough visible light (many times brighter than sunlight) would be able to pass through the walls of your home so you could see it, and even a weak light can shine through a paper-thin wall or a wall made of glass. EM waves interact with matter on their own scale of size and time. The reason why visible light can't travel through walls as easily as gamma rays or radio waves is because, to the visible light, there's something 'there' on a similar scale of length (wavelength) and time (frequency) that the gamma rays are too small and fast to interact with and the radio waves are too large and slow to interact with. The gamma rays just pass through the spaces between and within atoms and molecules. They're small enough to do that." }, { "docid": "D122515#0", "title": "https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061025233926AA0q5Qt\nWhat does the 'ce' symbol printed on most manufactured goods mean?", "text": "Consumer Electronics TVs What does the 'ce' symbol printed on most manufactured goods mean?

For those who haven’t been following Izzy’s odyssey, she started out as just a wide-eyed kid who’d show up at every NXT show in Bayley gear, but more recently she’s become a real contributing force to the show. In a some people’s minds, one of the main reasons Bayley vs. Sasha at NXT Takeover: Respect worked so well was because Izzy was there, reacting with unrestrained little kid emotion to every blow. Could Izzy becoming an official WWE superstar ruin a good thing? Quite possibly. Should we be worried about a kid not out of elementary school being ushered into the world of professional wrestling?" }, { "docid": "D239559#0", "title": "http://www.nameaning.net/both/Eman\nDefinition funny of Eman:", "text": "\"Eman Meaning : Of Arabic origin and a derivative of the name Iemaan meaning 'faith'.

Weber Source: (c) Ingram Publishing At every moment, you send people either positive or negative vibes. This positive or negative energy either draws people toward you or warns them to keep their distance. You can smile, hug, and express words of agreement, affection and appreciation, attracting people in a positive way. Or, you can push people away and even knock them down via criticism, complaints, disagreement, or blame. Loving is the emanation of positive energy. Expressions of thanks, gratitude and appreciation, along with a sincere interest in others' lives—and warm smiles—all send forth positive energy. The more positive emanations you send people, the more they will feel appreciated, and appreciate you in return. While overdoing the positivity with excessive gushing (like sunshine that is too intense) can be off-putting, people who emanate positive vibes generally feel \"\"warm.\"\" Whether they are your boss, employee, or colleague, or your friend, relative, or life partner, warm people feel safe to share with." }, { "docid": "D1857480#0", "title": "http://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/emanation.htm\nEMANATION", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » E » Ely Culbertson ...

The reports analysed heightened mind activity, increased visits to general or psychiatric emergency departments and people complaining of higher levels of physical and mental distress. The Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) examined the effect of the moon on human behaviour using spiritual research methodologies. In the spiritual research that we conducted using the sixth sense to ascertain the effect of moon on human behaviour the short answer was yes, it does have an effect. The following are the various aspects on how the moon affects our life.2. The generic subtle (intangible) effect of the moon All objects including stars, planets and satellite bodies along with their gross (tangible) attributes emanate subtle (intangible) frequencies.

Definition and Distinctions The concept of emanation is that all derived or secondary things proceed or flow from the more primary. It is distinguished from the doctrine of creation by its elimination of a definite will in the first cause, from which all things are made to emanate according to natural laws and without conscious volition. It differs from the theory of formation at the hands of a supreme artisan who finds his matter ready to his hand, in teaching that all things, whether actually or only apparently material, flow from the primal principle. Unlike evolution, again, which includes the entire principle of the world, material and spiritual, in the process of development, emanation holds to the immutability of the first principle as to both quality and quantity, and also in the tendency of the development evolution implying one which goes from less to more perfect, while emanation involves a series of descending stages.2. Hindu, Zoroastrian, and Greek Phases In the Upanishads of the Veda several passages which point, if obscurely, to this doctrine. One frequently quoted passage asserts that \"\"From this Atman originated space, and from space the wind, and from the wind the fire, and from fire water, and from water the earth, and from the earth plants, and from plants food, and from food the seed of man, and from the seed of man himself.\"\" This, however, does not clearly assert an emanation, but merely marks the stages of descent that separate man from the Atman. Attempts have often been made to derive the Gnostic doctrine of emanation from the Zoroastrian Avesta, but with doubtful success. Even if we may assume another higher power antecedent to the two hostile powers set forth in this dualistic system and comprising them both, still the independence of these two, as well as of the angels or half-divine beings who surround them, is not clearly asserted as owing to their emanation from the primal principle." }, { "docid": "D2299236#0", "title": "http://www.grantchronicles.com/astro138.htm\n.", "text": "\"The Cause of Earth's 23 Degree Tilt The Primary Topics: The Cause The Process Leading up to Ejection The Release The Process Planetary Tilt-Rotational Stabilization In this solar system where the rotational axis of a magnetic planet is in close proximity to the Sun, the natural equilibrium dictates a parallel North-South Relationship between the cosmic objects. So what would cause the planetary rotational tilt of the Earth to be 23 degrees off center of the Sun's axis the dominant force in this solar system? Would not this anomaly over time, the axis migrate back towards the equilibrium point represented by the Sun? It is stated, that an object in motion remains in that motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Is this not one of your most revered laws of physics? If this planetary system was initiated by the homogenous motion of the collapse of an accretion disk of stellar matter, then Earth's tilt is a result of an outside force. One that is so recent and periodic where the seasons are a permanent part of Earth's climate. Consider that the effect of the Sun's magnetic field has a far greater intensity and seemed to have little time to correct it. Conclusion there is a cause and if this force is not part of present theories or recognized events within the solar system, but its effects are recorded by tilt, and unexplained geological events.

Steps1 Meditate with an orgonite pyramid in your hand, direct your attention toward it-feel and sense the energy emanating from it. The important thing is not to try to see it (do not make an effort), but just feel as if it is already there (because it is). You can direct it toward any place, person, or time. Send it to different parts of your body for healing. You can directly feel the energy, either by seeing or feeling it depending on which sensory modality dominates. Some individuals can do both.

It is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless [2] noble gas. It occurs naturally in minute quantities as an intermediate step in the normal radioactive decay chains through which thorium and uranium slowly decay into lead and various other short-lived radioactive elements; radon itself is the immediate decay product of radium. Its most stable isotope, 222Rn, has a half-life of only 3.8 days, making radon one of the rarest elements since it decays away so quickly. However, since thorium and uranium are two of the most common radioactive elements on Earth, and they have three isotopes with very long half-lives, on the order of several billions of years, radon will be present on Earth long into the future in spite of its short half-life as it is continually being regenerated. The decay of radon produces many other short-lived nuclides known as radon daughters, ending at stable isotopes of lead. [ 3]Unlike all the other intermediate elements in the aforementioned decay chains, radon is, under normal conditions, gaseous and easily inhaled." }, { "docid": "D1993297#0", "title": "http://www.universeofsymbolism.com/whale-symbolism.html\nWhale Symbolism ~ to hear the song of your soul ~", "text": "\"Whale Symbolism ~ to hear the song of your soul ~Messages from the Universe Spirit whispers. . .

What is most mystifying and intriguing about the Whales songs is that the Whale sings a different song for each month of the year, somehow it knows when the new month has come and begins the new song To do this my intuition speaks that the Whale must sense the energy of the moon and the moons influences on the waters, as the moon greatly effects the tides and the flow of the oceans waters.

Jimmy Uso2 of 10Proving that the WWE is not the only entity that has no clue what direction to push the Usos, last year in Tampa, Fla., Jimmy Uso was arrested after an officer spotted him driving the wrong direction on a one-way street (via TMZ.com). The WWE superstar had a .18 blood alcohol level at the time of his arrest—over twice the legal limit in the state of Florida.8. Wade Barrett3 of 10In 2008 while still with FCW, Wade Barrett was arrested and charged with the battery of a law enforcement officer (via Wrestle Newz.com) following an incident with a female outside a Tampa bar.

Research tells us that kids and teens who have regular conversations with their parents and caregivers about sex and relationships are less likely to take risks with their sexual health, and more likely to be healthy and safe. So it’s never too early and it’s never too late to start talking with your kid about sex and relationships. As soon as kids start learning to talk, you can teach them the names of the parts of their body. As soon as they start being around other kids, you can teach them about respecting other people and talking about their feelings.

Your doctor may determine a diagnosis based on: Physical exam to help assess whether any medical condition or medication may trigger symptoms of anxiety Discussion of your symptoms, how often they occur and in what situations Review of a list of situations to see if they make you anxious Self-report questionnaires about symptoms of social anxiety Criteria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 criteria for social anxiety disorder include: Persistent, intense fear or anxiety about specific social situations because you believe you may be judged, embarrassed or humiliated Avoidance of anxiety-producing social situations or enduring them with intense fear or anxiety Excessive anxiety that's out of proportion to the situation Anxiety or distress that interferes with your daily living Fear or anxiety that is not better explained by a medical condition, medication or substance abuse Treatment Treatment depends on how much social anxiety disorder affects your ability to function in daily life. The two most common types of treatment for social anxiety disorder are psychotherapy (also called psychological counseling or talk therapy) or medications or both. Psychotherapy Psychotherapy improves symptoms in most people with social anxiety disorder. In therapy, you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself and develop skills to help you gain confidence in social situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective type of psychotherapy for anxiety, and it can be equally effective when conducted individually or in groups. In exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy, you gradually work up to facing the situations you fear most. This can improve your coping skills and help you develop the confidence to deal with anxiety-inducing situations. You may also participate in skills training or role-playing to practice your social skills and gain comfort and confidence relating to others. Practicing exposures to social situations is particularly helpful to challenge your worries." }, { "docid": "D2161743#0", "title": "https://www.quora.com/What-does-it-feel-like-to-wear-Lululemon-pants\nWhat does it feel like to wear Lululemon pants?", "text": "\"Lululemon Athletica (company) Pant Fashions and Styles Pants Clothing Fashion Fashion and Style Clothing and Apparel What does it feel like to wear Lululemon pants?http://nymag.com/nymag/features/58082/ad by Shopify Best e-commerce platform.

I was embarrassed but thankfully my teacher was on the other side of the room (not adjusting me!) and no one else seemed to notice.

This article will help you to understand vaginal dryness, the symptoms, causes and treatment, and allow you to approach your GP with confidence. It will help you to understand that you are not alone in suffering from this common condition, and encourage you to take the first steps towards regaining your sexual confidence and quality of life. Vaginal moisture Natural lubrication produced by glands at the neck of the womb (the cervix) keeps the vagina supple and moist. The moisture moves slowly down through the vagina, keeping it clean and removing dead cells. The vaginal moisture is slightly acidic and this helps to keep the area healthy, preventing infections such as thrush. It is perfectly normal for the majority of women to notice a slight white vaginal discharge. During sexual excitement the Bartholins glands (two glands at the entrance of the vagina) produce extra moisture to aid sexual intercourse. However, a quarter of women aged 50-59 experience vaginal dryness problems during sex and 16% experience pain. Before the menopause Around 17% of women aged 18-50 experience problems with vaginal dryness during sex, even before the menopause takes place." }, { "docid": "D3541849#0", "title": "https://komalsreviews.wordpress.com/2016/04/23/nil-battey-sannata/\nNIL BATTEY SANNATA", "text": "NIL BATTEY SANNATAPosted on April 23, 2016 by komalreviews Eros International, Colour Yellow Productions and Jar Pictures’ Nil Battey Sannata is the story of a mother and daughter.

As you are pumping along, that dreaded sound that you have definitely heard before — and hate to hear again — makes it way from your lady and do all that you can to hold back your reaction.

Thus, shame may stem from volitional action or simply self-regard; no action by the shamed being is required: simply existing is enough. Both the comparison and standards are enabled by socialization. Though usually considered an emotion, shame may also variously be considered an affect, cognition, state, or condition.

Wax is a past contributing editor and project manager at Lifehack. Full Bio Today’s business world is almost entirely information-driven. Whether you run a small business or occupy a small corner of the org-chart at a massive multinational corporation, chances are that the bulk of your job consists of communicating with others, most often in writing. Of course there’s email and the traditional business letter, but most business people are also called on to write presentations, memos, proposals, business requirements, training materials, promotional copy, grant proposals, and a wide range of other documents. Here’s the rub: most business people have little experience with writing. While those with business degrees probably did a bit of writing in school, it’s rarely stressed in business programs, and learning to write well is hardly the driving force behind most people’s desire to go to business school. Those without a university background might have never been pushed to write at all, at least since public school. If you’re one of the many people in business for whom writing has never been a major concern, you should know that a lack of writing skills is a greater and greater handicap with every passing year. Spending some time to improve your writing can result in a marked improvement in your hireability and promotional prospects.

Be NICE!! ! <br />When tone is absent in communicating, ambiguity is formed which clouds the meaning of the entire conversation. <br />Some people say things jokingly, but it is not always clear to the other person if you are kidding or not.<br />Some examples include: sarcasm, irony, cheeky speak or making fun. <br />4. A Picture is Worth 1000 Words. <br />Tone is not always bad digital etiquette, otherwise known as NETiquette.<br />Inappropriate pictures, such as sexting is a common problem in the media lately.<br />Sexting is the sending of pornographic pictures to people, who may not always be aware when they push “view”.<br />Also, if there is a compromising photo of someone (perhaps embarrassing) it should only be posted if the person in question is okay with it; respect their wishes.<br />5." }, { "docid": "D2369651#0", "title": "https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11932954/1/Ash-s-Hidden-Talents\n.", "text": "\"I made another thing because I felt like it.

Dear Reader,Using slang terms such as “putting out” can cloud our understanding of various people, places, things, or acts to the point that we become unsure of what these terms refer to. The use of slang can be culturally useful and a lot of fun, but it’s important to understand the various meanings of slang terms before using them, especially when talking about sex. So don’t be embarrassed! It’s better to ask instead of saying something you don’t mean. Traditionally, the term “putting out” indicates when a woman is willing to have sexual intercourse with a man. There is no evidence of when or why the term “putting out” adopted its meaning.

Thus, shame may stem from volitional action or simply self-regard; no action by the shamed being is required: simply existing is enough. Both the comparison and standards are enabled by socialization. Though usually considered an emotion, shame may also variously be considered an affect, cognition, state, or condition.

Since someone’s genes come from their parents, there is a high likelihood that someone will develop the same disorders as their parents.

[ 1] [2] It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. [ 3] Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as components of embedded systems. [ 4]Examples of properties of typical embedded computers when compared with general-purpose counterparts are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost. This comes at the price of limited processing resources, which make them significantly more difficult to program and to interact with. However, by building intelligence mechanisms on top of the hardware, taking advantage of possible existing sensors and the existence of a network of embedded units, one can both optimally manage available resources at the unit and network levels as well as provide augmented functions, well beyond those available. [ 5] For example, intelligent techniques can be designed to manage power consumption of embedded systems. [ 6]Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers (i.e. CPU's with integrated memory or peripheral interfaces), [7] but ordinary microprocessors (using external chips for memory and peripheral interface circuits) are also common, especially in more-complex systems. In either case, the processor (s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those specialized in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand." } ]

What are embedded deductibles, and how do they work? Before we start, let’s do a quick review on deductibles. As we’re sure many of you know, a deductible is the amount you have to pay out-of-pocket before your health insurance coverage pays for covered benefits. It’s pretty straightforward in an individual plan, but what about in a family plan? This is where an embedded deductible comes into play. Under family coverage, an embedded deductible is the individual deductible for each covered person, embedded in the family deductible. While it might not sound like a good thing to have two deductibles, it actually works to provide better coverage for individual members because once each family member meets his or her embedded deductible, health insurance begins paying for covered services, regardless of whether the larger family deductible is met. Contrast this to a non-embedded deductible, also referred to as an aggregate deductible. Under an aggregate deductible, the total family deductible must be paid out-of-pocket before health insurance starts paying for the health care services incurred by any family member." }, { "docid": "D187245#0", "title": "http://www.regionfreedvd.net/region-codes.html\nWhat Blu-ray and DVD Region Codes Are", "text": "What Blu-ray and DVD Region Codes Are Region Codes are pieces of data that are embedded into Blu-Ray and DVD Discs to act as a restriction. This data, or region code, is read by the player and if it doesn’t recognize the region code as compatible or local, the disc will not play. Since region codes are specific to certain geographical locations, a disc can typically only be read and played by a Blu-Ray or DVD Player that was manufactured and/or intended for use in that same specific region. In other words, if a disc is inserted into a player that originated from another region, it will not play because the region code does not match that of the player. Usually this doesn’t pose a problem to the average user, but it may for someone who has purchased discs from a foreign website or while visiting another country. For example, if you live in the UK and purchased a few DVD discs while on vacation in the United States, those discs are not going to be playable in your DVD Player back in the UK – since the discs have been embedded with a region code for the US, they are only able to play on a North American DVD System. It’s the same situation for nearly all areas of the world; playback depends on the region code which the disc was embedded with and the region where the player was manufactured. There are a handful of different reasons as to why region codes are used to restrict the playback of discs. The first and foremost reason is the fact that new films nearly always have different release dates (sometimes months apart) for different areas of the world. Movie production companies and movie studios (as well as the general box office) utilize region coding in an attempt to prevent losses that could be incurred if certain areas of the world had premature access to unreleased films." }, { "docid": "D3052991#0", "title": "http://www.theroadmap.ualberta.ca/understandings/research/37-60\nIntroduction to Language 3 - 5 Years - Increasingly Adult-like Understanding and Use PrintResearch Review / Parent", "text": "research Introduction to Language 3 - 5 Years - Increasingly Adult-like Understanding and Use Print Research Review / Parent Written by: Carrie Gotzke and Heather Sample Gosse, University of Alberta Between three and five years of age, children continue to make gains in both their understanding and their use of language.

Burger In the late 1990’s, the Web appliance was touted as the next “big thing”, a new device for an emerging market that would create a next generation of consumer IT giants. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada and the QNX 2000 International Technology Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia many vendors, large and small, showed off multiple visions of the future. Intel built a Web appliance based on Linux*. Microsoft partners made Web Companions based on a scaled down version of the Windows* CE operating system. Many others, like 3Com’s prototype and the Netpliance i Opener*, were based on QNX*. At that time Web appliances seemed the likely next step in consumer electronics. Simpler than PCs, they also offered far less functionality. At best they could be considered, as Ken Kalinoski, VP of development at Netpliance called it, a “Rich Client” device that required a dedicated and proprietary server to connect to. The subsequent lack of Web appliances on the shelves of Best Buy and Walmart showed that consumers did not want an appliance that could browse the Web and perform simple email tasks but could not do even simple word processing or store data. Web devices were being sold at less than cost in anticipation of service revenues that never came. Consumers also did not like the idea of being tied to a specific service provider." }, { "docid": "D927791#0", "title": "https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51014426_The_self_as_embedded_agent\nThe self as embedded agent", "text": "\"See all ›29 Citations See all ›60 References Download citation Share Download full-text PDFThe self as embedded agent Article (PDF Available) in Minds and Machines 13 (2) · May 2003 with 47 Reads DOI: 10.1023/A:1022997315561 · Source: OAICite this publication Chris Dobbyn6.57 The Open University (UK)Susan Stuart14.93 University of Glasgow Abstract In this paper we consider the concept of a self-aware agent. In cognitive science agents are seen as embodied and interactively situated in worlds. We analyse the meanings attached to these terms in cognitive science and robotics, proposing a set of conditions for situatedness and embodiment, and examine the claim that internal representational schemas are largely unnecessary for intelligent behaviour in animats. We maintain that current situated and embodied animats cannot be ascribed even minimal self-awareness, and offer a six point definition of embeddedness, constituting minimal conditions for the evolution of a sense of self. This leads to further analysis of the nature of embodiment and situatedness, and a consideration of whether virtual animats in virtual worlds could count as situated and embodied. We propose that self-aware agents must possess complex structures of self-directed goals; multi-modal sensory systems and a rich repertoire of interactions with their worlds. Finally, we argue that embedded agents will possess or evolve local co-ordinate systems, or points of view, relative to their current positions in space and time, and have a capacity to develop an egocentric space. None of these capabilities are possible without powerful internal representational capacities.

In specific, we will discuss how to organize software blocks in an effective manner. The ultimate success of an embedded system project depends both on its software and hardware. Computer scientists pride themselves in their ability to develop quality software. Similarly electrical engineers are well-trained in the processes to design both digital and analog electronics. Manufacturers, in an attempt to get designers to use their products, provide application notes for their hardware devices. The main objective of this class is to combine effective design processes together with practical software techniques in order to develop quality embedded systems. As the size and especially the complexity of the software increase, the software development changes from simple \"\"coding\"\" to \"\"software engineering\"\", and the required skills also vary along this spectrum. These software skills include modular design, layered architecture, abstraction, and verification.

These are all good things, provided the query being parameterized really ought to use the same cached execution plan for different parameter values. An execution plan that is efficient for one parameter value may not be a good choice for other possible parameter values. When parameter sniffing is enabled (the default), SQL Server chooses an execution plan based on the particular parameter values that exist at compilation time. The implicit assumption is that parameterized statements are most commonly executed with the most common parameter values. This sounds reasonable enough (even obvious) and indeed it often works well. A problem can occur when an automatic recompilation of the cached plan occurs. A recompilation may be triggered for all sorts of reasons, for example because an index used by the cached plan has been dropped (a correctness recompilation) or because statistical information has changed (an optimality recompile). Whatever the exact cause of the plan recompilation, there is a chance that an atypical value is being passed as a parameter at the time the new plan is generated. This can result in a new cached plan (based on the sniffed atypical parameter value) that is not good for the majority of executions for which it will be reused." }, { "docid": "D3369822#0", "title": "http://www.coderanch.com/t/591607/ORM/databases/Mapping-JPA-Entity-View\nMapping JPA Entity with a View", "text": "\"Forum: Object Relational Mapping Mapping JPA Entity with a View R.

The advantage is that the DSL can piggy back on the infrastructure of the host language (parsing, typechecking, modularity... etc) and the host language can be used for metaporgramming (ie writing programs that manipulate programs in the DSL). Since the DSL is specified in terms of normal language constructs, the distinction between an embedded DSL and a normal library in the language is aesthetic in nature. A reasonable way to think of an embedded DSL is as a library whose API can usefully be thought of as a language ¹. Domain-Specific Languages To understand this in detail, we first need to understand what domain-specific languages are in general. A domain-specific language (DSL) is a programming language designed for working with a narrow domain rather than for general-purpose programming. A lot of different kinds of languages make up DSLs:languages that don't specify computation like HTML, CSS and various configuration formats. These often specify data or static information (ie an HTML layout); any dynamic behavior is part of the system, not specified in the language (ie how HTML reflows is controlled by the browser rather than specified in HTML ).languages that are limited in power like SQL (without extensions), Datalog and regular expressions. Not being Turing-complete opens the door for deeper static analysis and better optimization while also preventing whole classes of bugs.languages that should have been limited in power like SQL (with extensions) and C++ templates. Turns out that Turing-completeness is wily and sneaks in if you're not careful!languages that run on things other than CPUs like GLSL (for graphics cards) and Verilog for describing hardware circuits.languages designed with a specific application in mind like Matlab and Mathematica. This is a bit contentious because you could also reasonably describe them as general-purpose languages, but in practice they're only used in a specific domain thanks to their design rather than hard technical limitations." }, { "docid": "D1135712#0", "title": "http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/press-releases/thp_embedded.html\n.", "text": "\"Featured on Recommended List U.

In an accompanying article on the ABC News website, \"\"Missionaries Face Death, Criticism to Preach,\"\" the missionaries confirmed what MRFF had suspected -- that the U. S.

Yet the Army, in complete disregard of the procedures, vetting process, and credential requirements for embedding journalists, allowed them to be embedded.

Multilinguals, speakers of more than one language, sometimes use elements of multiple languages when conversing with each other. Thus, code-switching is the use of more than one linguistic variety in a manner consistent with the syntax and phonology of each variety. Code-switching is distinct from other language contact phenomena, such as borrowing, pidgins and creoles, loan translation (calques), and language transfer (language interference). Borrowing affects the lexicon, the words that make up a language, while code-switching takes place in individual utterances. [ 1] [2] [3] Speakers form and establish a pidgin language when two or more speakers who do not speak a common language form an intermediate, third language. On the other hand, speakers practice code-switching when they are each fluent in both languages. Code mixing is a thematically related term, but the usage of the terms code-switching and code-mixing varies." }, { "docid": "D2170360#0", "title": "http://www.iep.utm.edu/pejorati/\nPejorative Language", "text": "\"Pejorative Language Some words can hurt. Slurs, insults, and swears can be highly offensive and derogatory. Some theorists hold that the derogatory capacity of a pejorative word or phrase is best explained by the content it expresses. In opposition to content theories, deflationism denies that there is any specifically derogatory content expressed by pejoratives. As noun phrases, ‘insult’ and ‘slur’ refer to symbolic vehicles designed by convention to derogate targeted individuals or groups. When used as verb phrases, ‘insult’ and ‘slur’ refer to actions performed by agents (Anderson and Lepore 2013b). Insulting or slurring someone does not require the use of language. Many different kinds of paralinguistic behavior could be used to insult (verb) or slur (verb) a targeted individual. Slamming a door in an interlocutor’s face is one way to insult them. Another way would be to sneer at them." } ]

[ { "docid": "D482866#0", "title": "http://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/\nWhat is EMDR?", "text": "What is EMDR? For Clinicians: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). Shapiro’s (2001) Adaptive Information Processing model posits that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced. During EMDR therapy the client attends to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Therapist directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus but a variety of other stimuli including hand-tapping and audio stimulation are often used (Shapiro, 1991). Shapiro (1995, 2001) hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights. EMDR therapy uses a three pronged protocol: (1) the past events that have laid the groundwork for dysfunction are processed, forging new associative links with adaptive information; (2) the current circumstances that elicit distress are targeted, and internal and external triggers are desensitized; (3) imaginal templates of future events are incorporated, to assist the client in acquiring the skills needed for adaptive functioning. For Laypeople: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences." } ]

Such individuals may also be chemically dependent, and may even have co-occurring psychiatric issues. Some patients enter a trauma recovery program after they have completed traditional treatment for addiction and have relapsed. Research shows that there’s a high relapse rate among post-traditional addiction treatment patients who also have PTSD, unresolved sexual trauma or compulsive behaviors. A trauma recovery program, then, serves a vital purpose in addressing the needs of an underserved population – many of whom are women. Types of Trauma According to trauma experts, trauma is either physical and/or psychological and most fall into one of three categories:• Intense single event – This is a one-time occurrence that is so traumatic and disturbing that the individual cannot get over it alone. Such events may include an automobile/industrial accident, mugging or other act of personal violence, rape, abduction, robbery, a serious threat to life (of self or a loved one), natural disasters (earthquake, fire, hurricane, tornado, flood, etc. ), and acts of terrorism.• Repetitive, ongoing events – This type of trauma may continue for an unbroken or a long period of time and may be repetitive in nature. Such events may include self sexual or physical abuse, physical or psychological neglect of a profound nature, witnessing sexual or physical abuse and/or violence against others, prolonged illness or extensive medical procedures, military combat, torture, prisoners of war, kidnapping or other forms of captivity.• Combination – Trauma in this category includes repetitive and ongoing events with intense single event trauma and may occur either at the same time or be separated by long periods of time. The stress accompanying traumatic events demands coping strategies of the individual that far exceed their capabilities." }, { "docid": "D3270576#0", "title": "https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200407/does-emdr-work\nDoes EMDR Work?", "text": "Does EMDR Work? Treating trauma with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy. By Erik Strand, published on July 1, 2004 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016SHARE TWEET EMAIL MOREI've heard about a treatment for trauma that involves eye movement. What is it? When California psychologist Francine Shapiro invented eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) in the late 1980s, psychiatrists and patients alike were lured by the promise of a single-session cure for post-traumatic stress disorder, addictions and phobias. While EMDR's initial splash never swelled to a tsunami, some 50,000 therapists in the U. S. currently sing its praises. In EMDR, the therapist waves a finger or baton rapidly before the client, who follows it with his eyes. These swift eye movements are said to loosen knots in one's memory and allow negative thoughts and memories to be favorably reprocessed with minimal guidance from the therapist. Some have thought the process is akin to REM sleep, where eye movements accompany the digestion of daytime memories. Others speculated that the left-right alternation of attention brings brain hemispheres into greater balance." }, { "docid": "D3099275#0", "title": "http://comprehensivetherapyapproach.com/what-is-emdr/what-is-emdr-therapy/\nWhat is EMDR Therapy?", "text": "What is EMDR Therapy?

This causes beliefs or feelings to become stuck in us, leaving us with low self-esteem and other symptoms or problems. EMDR Therapy, or Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, uses eye movements to help both hemispheres of the brain to “digest” distressing memories and allow them to be stored in a calmed form, properly relegated to the past in a true mind-body way. The natural inner health in your brain will spontaneously find a positive conclusion about yourself, giving you a stronger sense of yourself. 25 years of quality research has proven that this amazing, comprehensive therapy helps people resolve issues of many kinds more quickly than other therapies, and that the healing “sticks” even 15 months later.

I'm going to assume you mean an incomplete session. I don't have enough information to make a case consultation valuable, but I'll say some general things that may or may not apply in your case. I mean that, the following may not apply in your case. I'm only putting out some general thoughts that explain the kinds of pickles some EMDR cinicians and their clients find themselves in. EMDR practitioners must always screen for a dissociative disorder before doing EMDR to avoid premature lancing of dissociative barriers, or flooding. If a client is dissociative (and I'm not saying you are, because I don't know), a period of stabilization and containment is necessary to secure the safety and comfort of the system." }, { "docid": "D1122542#0", "title": "https://www.adaa.org/understanding-anxiety/posttraumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd/treatment\nTreatment for PTSD", "text": "The main treatments for people with PTSD are psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of the two.

Psychotherapy Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): CBT is a type of psychotherapy that has consistently been found to be the most effective treatment of PTSD both in the short term and the long term. CBT for PTSD is trauma-focused, meaning the trauma event (s) are the center of the treatment. It focuses on identifying, understanding, and changing thinking and behavior patterns.

EMDR is a therapeutic tool that some therapists use with their clients. It was developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in 1989. EMDR stands for “eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.” These words refer to the way that EMDR was first used – the client was guided by the therapist to move his or her eyes from left to right over and over again while thinking about something bothersome or upsetting. This movement of the eyes was found to help people quickly “re-wire” disturbing memories and emotions, rendering then completely undisturbing. Shortly after EMDR first came into use, it was discovered that any left-right movement of the body could bring about the same therapeutic results. Today, EMDR occurs by way of left-right eye movements, sounds (through a device that beeps in the left and right ears alternately) and touch (through tapping on the left and right sides of the body alternately). EMDR has been called an accelerated emotional processing tool because clients may rapidly resolve certain kinds of emotional issues that might have taken months or years to treat effectively with more regular “talking” therapies. Of course, like any psychological intervention, EMDR is more effective for some people than others." }, { "docid": "D394944#0", "title": "https://www.emdr.com/us-basic-training-overview/\nUS Basic Training Overview", "text": "The EMDR Therapy Basic Training (Weekend 1 and 2) is designed for licensed mental health practitioners who treat adults and children in a clinical setting (See Qualifications Section). EMDR is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions. This interactional, standardized approach has been empirically tested in over 20 randomized controlled studies with trauma patients, and hundreds of published case reports evaluating a considerable range of presenting complaints, including depression, anxiety, phobias, excessive grief, somatic conditions and addictions. EMDR therapy is guided by the Adaptive Information Processing model which addresses the unprocessed memories that appear to set the basis for a wide range of dysfunction. A number of neurophysiological studies have documented the rapid post treatment EMDR effects. Participants will be required to read the textbook by Francine Shapiro, Ph D, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures Guilford Press, NY, 2nd Edition, 2001.

The training will consist of lecture, live and videotaped demonstrations and supervised practice. The format of this workshop has been designed by the originator of EMDRtherapy, Francine Shapiro, Ph D.

For Clinicians: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories (Shapiro, 1989a, 1989b). Shapiro’s (2001) Adaptive Information Processing model posits that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing and processing of traumatic memories and other adverse life experience to bring these to an adaptive resolution. After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced. During EMDR therapy the client attends to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential doses while simultaneously focusing on an external stimulus. Therapist directed lateral eye movements are the most commonly used external stimulus but a variety of other stimuli including hand-tapping and audio stimulation are often used (Shapiro, 1991). Shapiro (1995, 2001) hypothesizes that EMDR therapy facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network, so that information processing is enhanced, with new associations forged between the traumatic memory and more adaptive memories or information. These new associations are thought to result in complete information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and development of cognitive insights. EMDR therapy uses a three pronged protocol: (1) the past events that have laid the groundwork for dysfunction are processed, forging new associative links with adaptive information; (2) the current circumstances that elicit distress are targeted, and internal and external triggers are desensitized; (3) imaginal templates of future events are incorporated, to assist the client in acquiring the skills needed for adaptive functioning. For Laypeople: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences." }, { "docid": "D254644#0", "title": "http://online.notredamecollege.edu/psychology/persistent-fears-exploring-the-science-behind-phobias/\nPersistent fears: Exploring the science behind phobias", "text": "Persistent fears: Exploring the science behind phobias Posted April 30, 2015What is a phobia? Merriam-Webster it as “a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.” Although fears are something everyone experiences, a phobia goes beyond everyday worries and can lead people to take extreme actions to avoid the cause of their terror. Phobias can significantly impact sufferers’ daily lives and have a crippling effect on their health and happiness. What Is a Phobia? As explained, a phobia is a persistent fear that leads to sufferers avoiding the fear at all costs. But beyond the common meaning is a deeper psychological understanding. In clinical psychology, a phobia is considered a type of anxiety disorder and can lead to marked distress in social and occupational activities. For centuries, humans have been trying to understand and treat phobias. The Difference Between a Fear and a Phobia According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the primary diagnostic tool for psychiatric disorders, phobias can only be diagnosed if the object or situation that invokes fear is present in a person’s life." }, { "docid": "D3099276#0", "title": "http://www.emdrnetwork.org/description.html\n.", "text": "\"Home Cautions for Clients and Clinicians Choosing a Clinician A Brief Description of EMDR Therapy Eye Movements Training for Clinicians Referrals for Clients Psychiatrists Psychologists Marriage and Family War and Disaster A Brief Description of EMDR Therapy8 PHASES OF TREATMENTThe amount of time the complete treatment will take depends upon the history of the client.

The goal of EMDR therapy is to process completely the experiences that are causing problems, and to include new ones that are needed for full health. \"\" Processing\"\" does not mean talking about it. \"\" Processing\"\" means setting up a learning state that will allow experiences that are causing problems to be \"\"digested\"\" and stored appropriately in your brain. That means that what is useful to you from an experience will be learned, and stored with appropriate emotions in your brain, and be able to guide you in positive ways in the future. The inappropriate emotions, beliefs, and body sensations will be discarded. Negative emotions, feelings and behaviors are generally caused by unresolved earlier experiences that are pushing you in the wrong directions. The goal of EMDR therapy is to leave you with the emotions, understanding, and perspectives that will lead to healthy and useful behaviors and interactions.

Although there is a Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) component in the trauma program, therapies that focus on the trauma experience are kept to a minimum. Even though clients inevitably bring up their trauma experiences during the course of treatment, therapists do not focus on these experiences. It is, of course, therapeutically necessary to validate these experiences, but the emphasis is on how clients can begin to pursue a more fulfilling life while suffering from trauma symptoms.

By Kit Garfield Emeriti faculty often remain involved after retirement. Professor Emerita is the title given to a female professor who has retired in honorable standing but still keeps the title of “professor” she held directly before retirement. Emerita is the female form of emeritus. Although universities once considered it standard practice to call a retired professor--male or female--of good standing a professor emeritus, an increasing number of universities now use the title professor emerita to refer to a retired female professor and the title professor emeritus for retired males: for example, Mary Smith, Professor Emerita from Andover College. It's In The Name The adjective \"\"emerita” is derived from a Latin word meaning \"\"to earn through service.\"\" A professor emerita is also called \"\"emerita professor,\"\" a slightly less formal term. Although certain traditional universities resisted the shift to professor emerita, the rise of feminism prompted many professionals of all kinds to re-think their vocabulary and to signal the difference between male and female. In general, university style guides across the U. S. and Great Britain now advise faculty and staff to use \"\"emeritus\"\" for a man and \"\"emerita\"\" for a woman How Professors Merit \"\"Emerita\"\"Universities differ widely on what standards they use for awarding emerita/emeritus and on the privileges and benefits the title confers.

A cardinal ( Latin: Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae cardinalis, literally Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church) is a senior ecclesiastical leader, considered a Prince of the Church, and usually (now always for those created when still within the voting age-range) an ordained bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. The cardinals of the Church are collectively known as the College of Cardinals. The duties of the cardinals include attending the meetings of the College and making themselves available individually or in groups to the Pope as requested. Most have additional duties, such as leading a diocese or archdiocese or managing a department of the Roman Curia. A cardinal's primary duty is electing the bishop of Rome when the see becomes vacant. During the sede vacante (the period between a pope's death or resignation and the election of his successor), the day-to-day governance of the Holy See is in the hands of the College of Cardinals. The right to enter the conclave of cardinals where the pope is elected is limited to those who have not reached the age of 80 years by the day the vacancy occurs.

Depending on who you talk to, the latest RFRA legislation has been taken over by talking points instead of facts. Here’s what you really need to know to understand where RFRA came from and why it matters now.1. Why do we need RFRA if we have the First Amendment? The federal RFRA was a reaction to a 1990 case in which the Supreme Court changed the understanding that most people had of the First Amendment. In the Smith case, the court held that a state can broadly prohibit possession of hallucinogenic drugs without carving out an exemption for Native Americans who use peyote for sacramental purposes. The court said that the government did not need to have a “compelling interest” to burden free exercise rights when the burden was merely the incidental effect of applying a generally applicable law that is not directed at religious practices. The federal RFRA, enacted in 1993 with broad bipartisan support, was intended, according to Congress’ finding, “to restore the compelling interest test” to situations where religion is substantially burdened even by a neutral, generally applicable law. Originally the federal RFRA applied to burdens imposed by states as well as the federal government. However, in 1997, in the City of Boerne case, the Supreme Court held that Congress exceeded its constitutional authority in imposing RFRA on the states." }, { "docid": "D2599257#0", "title": "http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f117/cleaning-inflatable-10764.html\n.", "text": "\"Page 1 of 2 1 2 >Thread Tools Rate Thread Display Modes28-10-2007, 11:31 # 1easterly Registered User Join Date: Oct 2007Location: St Charles MO Boat: Easterly 36 Aft Cabin Posts: 180Cleaning inflatable Will 409 GP cleaner hurt my Achilles?

Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. An EMG translates these signals into graphs, sounds or numerical values that a specialist interprets. An EMG uses tiny devices called electrodes to transmit or detect electrical signals. During a needle EMG, a needle electrode inserted directly into a muscle records the electrical activity in that muscle. A nerve conduction study, another part of an EMG, uses electrodes taped to the skin (surface electrodes) to measure the speed and strength of signals traveling between two or more points. EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Why it's done Your doctor may order an EMG if you have signs or symptoms that may indicate a nerve or muscle disorder. Such symptoms may include: Tingling Numbness Muscle weakness Muscle pain or cramping Certain types of limb pain EMG results are often necessary to help diagnose or rule out a number of conditions such as: Muscle disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or polymyositis Diseases affecting the connection between the nerve and the muscle, such as myasthenia gravis Disorders of nerves outside the spinal cord (peripheral nerves), such as carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathies Disorders that affect the motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or polio Disorders that affect the nerve root, such as a herniated disk in the spine Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Risks EMG is a low-risk procedure, and complications are rare. There's a small risk of bleeding, infection and nerve injury where a needle electrode is inserted." } ]

These studies are often performed together and the combination of the two is abbreviated an EMG/NCS or, more commonly, just EMG. They work in combination to measure the electrical activity in nerves and muscles and are used to evaluate nerve and muscle injury. These injuries may be due to nerve compression, primary nerve or muscle diseases, or secondary injuries related to other diseases. An EMG helps the physician determine if the patient’s nerves/muscles are healthy and, if not, determine the cause of the nerve or muscle injury. Nerve conduction studies Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are performed to determine how well nerves conduct signals. The procedure involves stimulating the nerves with a small amount of electricity and recording how each nerve conducts this signal along its course. The response to this stimulation is recorded by electrodes that are taped to the patient’s skin. The electrodes are attached to a computer that analyzes the signals and produces a visual representation of them on the screen. The physician interprets the results by making measurements of the responses and correlating them to your symptoms." }, { "docid": "D3427085#0", "title": "http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Radiology-/emg-scan/show/1422696\nemg scan", "text": "emg scankenstr247anyone know how i can decipher a static emg scan. chiropractor explained it once, but i would like written explanation so i can refer to it. like what do the colors and number stand for. what can a scan reveal muscle spasms, muscle tension or tears. degeneration, etc i read some where something about blue=mild, green=moderate, red=severe, but what does black mean is it recognized in medical community as legitimate scan like MRI or CT scan. i know it is not recognized the court system though since certain medical professionals are not considered legitimate thanks Read more Dec 26, 2010Follow - 1 Upvote - 0 0 Answers Next Question0 Answers Page 1 of 1Your Answer Notify me of new activity on this question Join this community Answer Previous Question Next Question" }, { "docid": "D1266513#0", "title": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC155519/\nNeuromuscular Evaluation of Trunk-Training Exercises", "text": "J Athl Train. 2001 Apr-Jun; 36 (2): 109–118.

The reasons we will be addressing back width and thickness in a single issue are twofold: Firstly, you need to train all muscle groups of the upper/mid back if you want to develop a strong and visually impressive frame*. *Note: In fact you have to train your lower back, particularly the erector spinae, as well, but since tackling all the four of them would have gone beyond the scope of one installment of the Supp Versity EMG Series, I decided to address abs and lower back together in an upcoming \"\"core training\"\" issue of this series. And secondly, you cannot really isolate one from the other, because your body was not designed to look aesthetically appealing (whatever your interpretation of this may be), but it was made for optimal functional strength and agility and thus ultimately for survival. Consequently, the muscles of your back (even more so than it is the case with other body parts) will always work in concert, when you climb, pull, snatch or just carry heavy objects around your house or garden. Keep that in mind, when you read about training for \"\"width\"\" vs. training for \"\"size\"\" (even in this summary)... synergy is the name of the game and you would not want huge \"\"wings\"\" (meaning a broad back) on a frame that is as flat as a pancake, anyway - would you?

There are two general types of EMG machine: surface and intramuscular. Surface EMG detects activity through electrodes placed on the surface of the skin. An intramuscular EMG machine, on the other hand, detects activity through needles inserted directly into the muscle. The degree of invasiveness and resulting sensitivity of the two methods allow for different medical applications. An EMG machine measures the size, frequency, and general shape of motor unit potentials generated by the patient's movement. When a motor neuron innervates muscle fibers, a slight electrical discharge is emitted from the neuron into the muscle fibers. An electromyograph can detect the sum of this activity and record it for interpretation. EMG tests record the activity both when the muscles are at rest and when the patient contracts them. In order to get accurate measurements, experts usually collect anywhere from 10 to 20 readings before ending the test." }, { "docid": "D740708#0", "title": "https://forums.webmd.com/3/fibromyalgia-exchange/forum/18583\nWebMD ® Fibromyalgia Community", "text": "\"Last Reply: 4 years ago8 years ago Anyone with FM have a painful EMG?xperky posted: Hi everyone, I've been having lots of pain and numbness in my right foot lately, along with pains all over my body.

How Much Does a Nerve Conduction Test Cost? A nerve conduction test is performed as a way to evaluate the ability of electrical conduction of the motor and sensory nerves in the human body. Basically, it measures how fast the nerves can send an electrical signal. This test is normally performed when the symptoms of numbness, tingling and burning sensations in the arms and the legs are experienced, and oftentimes, this test will be recommended if the doctor suspects you have carpal tunnel, nerve abnormalities, a nerve injury, Guillain-Barre Syndrome or myasthenia. The nerve conduction study, commonly conducted alongside an EMG test, consists of different components which include Motor NCS, Sensory NCS, an F-wave study, and H-reflex study.

Electrical studies can be of help in localization of an abnormality, and in distinguishing one variety of neuropathy from another: for example, diffuse vs. multifocal; axonal vs. demyelinating. Such distinction has diagnostic value. Specific classification of nerve injuries into neuropraxia and axonotmesis can be made on the basis of conduction studies and electromyography. Such classification has a bearing on prognosis and treatment. Focal neuropathies or compressive lesions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathies or root lesions, for localization. Traumatic nerve lesions, for diagnosis and prognosis. Diagnosis or confirmation of suspected generalized neuropathies, such as diabetic, uremic, metabolic or immune.

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning.\"\" — Werner Karl Heisenberg The motor unit (MU) is a part of the neuromuscular system that contains an anterior horn cell, its axon, and all of the muscle fibers (MFs) that it innervates, including the axon's specialized point of connection to the MFs, the neuromuscular junction. The neuromuscular system also includes upper motor neuron inputs to the lower motor neuron as well as afferent inputs from the periphery such as position receptors in joints, Golgi tendon organs, and muscle spindles. The result is the ability of the muscle to make various patterns of contraction under the control of the upper motor neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). In routine needle-electrode examination (ie, electromyography [EMG]) of voluntary muscle contraction, the electrodiagnostic consultant assesses the signature electrical signal generated by the MUs, termed the MU action potential (MUAP). In addition, signals generated by individual or non-MU groups of MFs, termed insertion activity (IA) and spontaneous activity (SA), are assessed. These are patterns of random or rogue sub-MUAP activity that may yield important clues in the interpretation of the EMG signal. In electrodiagnosis, consideration of all data is important. The focus of this article is on MUs and the MUAPs they generate, particularly in neuromuscular disorders in which remodeling of the MU may occur. To place these concepts in perspective, some review of basic clinical neurophysiologic concepts is necessary." }, { "docid": "D973229#0", "title": "http://www.emedicinehealth.com/electromyography_emg/page2_em.htm\nElectromyography (EMG)", "text": "\"What is Electromyography (EMG)?

Secular political entities such as the nation, the state, race, class, and the party became the focus of myths, rituals, and commandments and gradually became objects of faith, loyalty, and reverence. Gentile examines this \"\"sacralization of politics,\"\" as he defines it, both historically and theoretically, seeking to identify the different ways in which political regimes as diverse as fascism, communism, and liberal democracy have ultimately depended, like religions, on faith, myths, rites, and symbols. Gentile maintains that the sacralization of politics as a modern phenomenon is distinct from the politicization of religion that has arisen from militant religious fundamentalism. Sacralized politics may be democratic, in the form of a civil religion, or it may be totalitarian, in the form of a political religion. Using this conceptual distinction, and moving from America to Europe, and from Africa to Asia, Gentile presents a unique comparative history of civil and political religions from the American and French Revolutions, through nationalism and socialism, democracy and totalitarianism, fascism and communism, up to the present day. It is also a fascinating book for understanding the sacralization of politics after 9/11. Emilio Gentile is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Rome La Sapienza. His books include The Sacralization of Politics in Fascist Italy; The Struggle for Modernity: Nationalism, Futurism, and Fascism; The Origin of Fascist Ideology; and The Italian Road to Totalitarianism: The Party and the State in the Fascist Regime (forthcoming).

Pericoli had a top ten hit in the U. S. in 1962 with ‘Al Di La’. Much of Pericoli’s success both in Italy and in the rest of the world can be attributed to the Sanremo Music Festival in Sanremo, Italy. His international hit Al Di La was a cover version of the 1961 festival winner as sung by Betty Curtis and Luciano Tajoli. It went to number 6 on the U. S. Hot 100 and 3 on the Adult Contemporary chart along with number 30 in the U. K. The next year, he entered the festival with Tony Renis with the song Quando Quando Quando. While they didn’t win, his recording went on to become one of his best known. The song would go on to include a songwriting credit for Pat Boone for the English version which was later recorded by Englebert Humperdinck and Michael Buble. In 1963, he and Renis entered again, finally winning the festival with Uno Per Tutte. He later went on to become a television actor.

It's early June in 1968, and the California presidential primary elections are occupying the minds of many in the Golden State, with Robert F. Kennedy in a close race against Eugene Mc Carthy and Hubert Humphrey. The Kennedy campaign staff has set up camp at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, while the staff and guests become observers as the brother of fallen president John F. Kennedy sets out to pick up where his sibling left off. Paul (William H. Macy) is the manager of the Ambassador, and his wife, Miriam (Sharon Stone), is a hairdresser who runs' the hotel's beauty salon. Angela (Heather Graham) is a receptionist working the hotel's switchboard who has been sleeping with Paul behind Miriam's back. Timmons (Christian Slater) is in charge of the hotel's restaurant and catering department, and makes no secret of his dislike of the African-Americans and Latinos under his employ. Miguel (Jacob Vargas) and Jose (Freddy Rodriguez) are two young Chicanos on the kitchen staff who have it in for Timmons, while Robinson (Laurence Fishburne) is an older black man who counsels them on dealing with their rage. Virginia Fallon (Demi Moore) sings in the hotel's cocktail lounge and has a serious problem with alcohol; her husband, Tim (Emilio Estevez), is a Kennedy supporter and also her manager, and he's nearing the end of his rope in dealing with her problem. William (Elijah Wood) is a young man desperate to avoid being drafted and sent to Vietnam; Diane (Lindsay Lohan) is a pretty young woman dating William's brother who agrees to marry him so William can avoid being drafted, though William is clearly infatuated with her, while she considers this a marriage in name only." }, { "docid": "D2648152#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilio_Estefan\nEmilio Estefan", "text": "\"This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification.

Multilingual, well-travelled, American-educated, air force pilot, Olympic skier and aristocrat – he was a Renaissance man in every sense of the term. Recovering in Switzerland after the war, and with the Italian economy in ruins, Pucci made ends meet by teaching Italian and giving ski lessons in Zermatt. It was there that in 1947 a streamlined ski outfit he designed, initially for himself and then for his enthusiastic socialite friends was photographed by a fashion photographer and published in Harper’s Bazaar USA, giving rise to a fashion phenomenon that continues to reverberate to this day. Pucci was driven by the desire to liberate women, granting them unprecedented freedom of movement. Setting up his atelier in the Pucci family’s grand palazzo in the heart of Florence, Emilio began working closely with expert fabric manufacturers in Italy to pioneer and patent revolutionary stretch fabrics that eschewed the heavy, rigid fabrications largely in circulation at that time. Contrary to his design contemporaries, Pucci was driven by the desire to liberate women, granting them unprecedented freedom of movement. His stretch silk and cotton jerseys were weightless, unlined, and wrinkle-proof - precursors for a modern, travel-friendly wardrobe that captivated a new generation of modern, active women. His first boutique was La Canzone del Mare (The Song of the Sea) on the island of Capri, even then a glamorous resort destination, where he developed wearable yet chic sportswear: “Capri” pants, silk twill shirts with a masculine cut, open-toed sandals and striped jersey tops, all in refreshingly vibrant colours that evoked the island’s natural beauty. His designs featured sensual, free-flowing lines that followed the natural curves of the body - effortlessly elegant clothing which took women from day to evening...

A significant number of scholars agree that a \"\"fascist regime\"\" is foremost an authoritarian form of government, although not all authoritarian regimes are fascist. Authoritarianism is thus a defining characteristic, but most scholars will say that more distinguishing traits are needed to make an authoritarian regime fascist. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]Similarly, fascism as an ideology is also hard to define. Originally, it referred to a totalitarian political movement linked with corporatism which existed in Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Many scholars use the word \"\"fascism\"\" without capitalization in a more general sense, to refer to an ideology (or group of ideologies) which was influential in many countries at many different times. For this purpose, they have sought to identify what Roger Griffin calls a \"\"fascist minimum\"\"—that is, the minimum conditions that a certain political movement must meet in order to be considered \"\"fascist\"\". [ 3] According to most scholars of fascism, there are both left and right influences on fascism as a social movement, and fascism, especially once in power, has historically attacked communism, conservatism and liberalism. Scholars have inspected the apocalyptic, millennial and millenarianism aspects of fascism.

Literal language uses words exactly according to their conventionally accepted meanings or denotation. Figurative (or non-literal) language uses words in a way that deviates from their conventionally accepted definitions in order to convey a more complicated meaning or heightened effect. [ 1] Figurative language is often created by presenting words in such a way that they are equated, compared, or associated with normally unrelated meanings. Literal usage confers meaning to words, in the sense of the meaning they have by themselves, outside any figure of speech. [ 2] It maintains a consistent meaning regardless of the context, [3] with the intended meaning corresponding exactly to the meaning of the individual words. [ 4] Figurative use of language is the use of words or phrases that implies a non-literal meaning which does make sense or that could [also] be true. [ 5]Aristotle and later the Roman Quintilian were among the early analysts of rhetoric who expounded on the differences between literal and figurative language. [ 6]In 1769, Frances Brooke 's novel The History of Emily Montague was used in the earliest Oxford English Dictionary citation for the figurative sense of literally; the sentence from the novel used was, \"\"He is a fortunate man to be introduced to such a party of fine women at his arrival; it is literally to feed among the lilies .\"\" [ 7] This citation was also used in the OED's 2011 revision.

Criminal Proceedings3 International Examples of the Double Jeopardy Clause4 Notes Background Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that prevents a defendant from being tried multiple times on the same or similar charge, following a legitimate acquittal or conviction. The concept of double jeopardy is a longstanding norm in Western legal thought, having roots in both Greek and Roman Law. [ 1] As a result, the tradition of double jeopardy is present in a great number of modern legal regimes in one form or another. Many countries have codified protections against double jeopardy as a constitutional right, including Canada, India, Israel, Mexico and the United States. In the common law, a defendant may enter a preemptory plea of double jeopardy, indicating to the court that the defendant had previously been acquitted or convicted of the same offense. Once the issue is raised, evidence will be presented in order to rule as a preliminary matter whether the plea is substantiated and, if it is, the projected trial will not proceed. Generally, protections against double jeopardy prevent a person from being convicted twice for the same crime based on the same conduct. If a person robs a bank, he cannot be convicted of robbery twice for the same actions. Similarly, a defendant cannot be twice convicted on two different crimes arising from the same conduct unless they are significantly different or designed to prohibit different forms of conduct. For instance, a person may not be convicted of both murder and manslaughter for the same killing, but he can be convicted of both murder and robbery if the murder arose out of said robbery." }, { "docid": "D977158#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escheat\nEscheat", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search [ hide]This article has multiple issues.

It originally applied to a number of situations where a legal interest in land was destroyed by operation of law, so that the ownership of the land reverted to the immediately superior feudal lord.

FALSEExamples: [PRNewswire, October 2012]Larry Klayman, founder and chairman of Freedom Watch, today announced that President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden have been criminally indicted for having willfully released classified national security information concerning the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, U. S. and Israeli war plans concerning Iran and their cyber-attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The release of this information, among other harm to U. S. national security, resulted in the killing of members of Seal Team Six by terrorists and the arrest and imprisonment of American covert agents by Pakistan, such as the doctor who aided the CIA with regard to the bin Laden assassination. U. S.-Israeli war plans with Iran have also been compromised. A true bill of indictment was issued by a Citizens’ Grand Jury in Ocala, Florida, who reviewed evidence and voted unanimously to indict Obama and Biden at 6:02 pm on October 29, 2012. [ Rest of article here . ] Origins: This item claiming the indictment in Florida of President Barack Obamaand Vice President Joe Biden for “having willfully released classified national security information” stems from a press release issued by Larry Klayman, founder and chairman of Freedom Watch. The referenced indictment is in the nature of a political publicity stunt: the President and Vice President were not indicted by any grand jury empaneled or authorized by the state of Florida or the federal government, but rather by a group of private citizens acting on their own as a “ Citizens’ Grand Jury .”The Citizens’ Grand Jury is a non-actionable, non-governmental organization that has no legal authority to enforce its “indictment” through prosecution or trial. When a similar group of private grand jurists declared themselves a “Super American Grand Jury” and voted to charge President Obama with treason in 2009, their filing was dismissed by a U. S. District Court judge who stated that “Any self-styled indictment or presentment issued by such a group has no force under the Constitution or laws of the United States. ”Last updated: 31 October 2012Read More Feedback Fact Checker: David Mikkelson Published: 1 November 2012More From Snopes.com Loading...

A jury does not participate in the sentencing process. In most criminal trials, 12 people are selected to be on the jury. Up to 15 jurors can be empanelled if a trial is expected to last longer than three months. To be empanelled means to be chosen for a specific trial. Civil trials Civil trials which require juries are usually defamation proceedings. The trial judge will outline the issues the jury needs to consider to decide who is at fault.

A coroner may also conduct or order an inquest into the manner or cause of death, and investigate or confirm the identity of an unknown person who has been found dead within the coroner's jurisdiction. In England, where the role originated, a coroner also deals with treasure trove cases. In medieval times, English coroners were Crown officials who held financial powers and conducted some judicial investigations in order to counterbalance the power of sheriffs.

I am not going to prejudge this particular DA or any particular police officer, but I have seen innocent people go to prison. So I’m going to evaluate this case fairly, not assuming that the defendant is guilty just because the government says he is or assuming a police officer is telling the truth just because he is a police officer. I’m going to look at all the evidence fairly, and I have no problem with voting guilty if the government actually proves the case. If the DA is fully prepared and has a solid case, I have no problem at all with someone who is guilty being behind bars . But if the DA thinks I am going to just assume that just because someone is being prosecuted, he must be guilty, I will do my duty as a citizen and genuinely presume innocent until proven guilty.”" }, { "docid": "D2147967#0", "title": "http://www.sgrlaw.com/briefings/472/\nAlternative Dispute Resolution", "text": "Alternative Dispute Resolution In Georgia, the State Bar’s Ethical Consideration 7-5 says:“An attorney as adviser has a duty to advise the client as to various forms of dispute resolution. When a matter is likely to involve litigation, an attorney has a duty to inform the client of forms of dispute resolution which might constitute reasonable alternatives to litigation. ”Over the last two decades, there has been great interest in finding ways to resolve disputes other than through the traditional court system. Some of the dispute resolution techniques that companies have turned to are fairly new, while others have been used for many years. All the methods, however, have as a common objective the resolution of commercial disputes in less time, at less cost and with less emotional turmoil and hostility than typically results from litigation. Mediation and arbitration offer efficient and effective alternatives to litigation. Both may significantly reduce the cost of achieving a resolution of a dispute. Both may be conducted at any time, at any location and at the convenience of the parties. A. ADVANTAGES OF ADRSome of the advantages of ADR are that it: Saves time and money.

The Court's modifications to the rules are usually based upon recommendations from the Judicial Conference of the United States, the federal judiciary's internal policy-making body. Although federal courts are required to apply the substantive law of the states as rules of decision in cases where state law is in question, the federal courts almost always use the FRCP as their rules of procedure.

In Aman there were two dialects of Quenya, Vanyarin and Noldorin. For historical reasons, only the latter was used in Middle-earth. The only other Eldarin language spoken in Aman, Telerin, could also be considered a dialect of Quenya, but it was usually held to be a separate language and is not discussed here (see separate article). Compared to many other Elvish tongues, Quenya was archaic. It preserved the main features of the original Elvish language, invented by the Elves when they first awoke by the mere of Cuiviénen - a tongue with \"\"many...beautiful words, and many cunning artifices of speech\"\" (WJ:422). In fact, the Silmarillion Index refers to Quenya as \"\"the ancient tongue, common to all Elves, in the form it took in Valinor\"\" in Aman - as if Quenya was so similar to Primitive Elvish that it was merely as a later form of it, not a new language. Indeed Primitive Elvish and Quenya may have been mutually intelligible, but it must not be thought that they were almost identical. In Valinor, the ancient Elvish tongue underwent certain changes: \"\"Its altering ... [came] in the making of new words (for things old and new) and in the softening and harmonizing of the sounds and patterns of the Quendian tongue to forms that seemed to the Noldor more beautiful\"\" (WJ:20)." }, { "docid": "D2465616#0", "title": "https://www.triviumpursuit.com/articles/comparison_of_greek_pronunciation_systems.php\nComparison of Greek Pronunciation Systems", "text": "\"Comparison of Greek Pronunciation Systemsby Harvey Bluedorn Copyright 2006Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend.

Since 1973, I have gone through well over a hundred Greek grammars, and about the only thing I found consistent about their pronunciation systems is that there is little consistency about their pronunciation systems. One might say that when the Greek alphabet was formed, it was the original phonetic alphabet. Of course, that would be an exaggeration. We cannot talk to the inventors and revisers of the Greek alphabet to know for sure, but their original purpose appears to have been to represent the sounds of their speech in the form of written characters.

In the historical narratives of the Old Testament, truth is identified with personal veracity and historical factuality. Before identifying himself to his brothers, Joseph desires to test them by commanding them to send one of their brothers as a prisoner, to see if there is truth in them ( Gen 42:16 ). Both Joseph's brothers and Achan claim to be speaking the truth when they confess their respective sins ( Gen 42:21 ; Joshua 7:20 ). Truth is also a quality used to describe utterances that are from the Lord. When Elijah intervenes for the son of the widow of Zarephath, bringing the boy back to life, the boy's mother remarks that now she knows that Elijah is a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in his mouth is truth. Ahab becomes angry with Micaiah, his personal incarcerated prophet, because the latter has given a sarcastic favorable forecast for battle. Ahab responds by saying, \"\"How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?\"\" ( 1 Kings 22:16 ; 2 Chron 18:15 ).

Since opinions run the gamut, and depending what you read, you will get conflicting information. You will read some opinions that emphatically state that not only are rock sourced minerals not usable by the body, but are downright dangerous. Given the discrepancies and the confusion these opinions engender, it is imperative to interject some logic into this debate about what form of mineral is emphatically best for your body. Of critical importance in this organic versus inorganic debate is to understand what organic means in this context. When addressing organic as a mineral description, it means that the element in question is bonded to a carbon atom, which is another inorganic element. Because all living creatures are carbon based, being bonded to a carbon atom theoretically makes any element more bioavailable and usable by a living organism.

It does not address their level of motivation, involvement, or emotional commitment. For some employees, being satisfied means collecting a paycheck while doing as little work as possible. When organizations focus on making changes based on employee satisfaction, these changes won’t necessarily lead to increased performance. Oftentimes, the conditions that make employees “satisfied” with their jobs are the same conditions that frustrate high performing employees. Top performers embrace change, search out ways to improve, and challenge the status quo. They expect all employees be held accountable for delivering results, whereas low performers avoid accountability, cling to the status quo, and resist change. How is employee engagement measured? Employee engagement is typically measured using a survey that has been developed specifically for this purpose. Employee engagement surveys must be statistically validated and benchmarked against other organizations if they are going to provide useful results." } ]

We typically receive 70% to 80% participation on first time surveys, if not more, and 85% to 95% on repeat surveys. There is always the rare 99% or 100% response rate, but those are achieved by clients that utilize their surveys to their full potential, year after year. Participation rates that high are hard to achieve – but not impossible. While there is not one clear path to success when it comes to ensuring high levels of participation in your survey, over the 20 years we’ve been conducting surveys, we have identified several key strategies or approaches to encourage most employees to participate. We’ve also discovered, in talking with employees after a survey, why employees opt not to participate. Briefly, employees tell us that they are not motivated to take a survey when:- They think taking the survey is useless, knowing from previous surveys that nothing will be done with the results. Why bother?- They fear that they will somehow be identified and perhaps there will be some type of retribution for their candid responses- It’s hard to take the survey because their direct manager does not support it, they were not given time to take the survey, or the survey was too long/complicated- They were not aware the survey was being conducted Having identified the common reasons employees typically don’t take a survey, now it’s time to focus on the positives and identify “best practices” in motivating employees to take your survey.

Relationship marketing can be defined as marketing to current customers vs. new customer acquisition through sales and advertising. As opposed to transactional marketing’s focus on one-off sales, a good relationship marketing strategy is rooted in building customer loyalty and lasting, long-term engagement with your customer base. Benefits include increased word-of-mouth, repeat business, and a willingness on the customer’s part to provide valuable feedback to the company. What’s the value in relationship marketing? Opportunity and upside have to drive decision-making, so the question remains: why bother marketing to current customers? What are the potential benefits? According to a study by Robin Buchanan and Crawford Gillies, the increased profitability associated with relationship marketing is the result of several factors: There’s less dating around. Loyal customers don’t go shopping around and they’re far less to switch.

However, you increase the odds of your success if you take the time to engage employees in your change management plans. Convincing Your Employees If your organization decides to move forward with culture change or other change initiatives, you will have employees who will welcome the shift, but you also will have to win over these types of employees:the tenured employees who have seen change initiatives fail in the pastthe negative employees who tend to forecast doom and gloom even when the sun is shiningthe “I told you so” employees who feel they are smarter than the decision-makersthe “I hate change” employees who are more comfortable sticking with the status quothe “does this mean more work?” employees who are already feeling overwhelmedthe “last-minute” employees who don’t want to jump on the train until it’s leaving the station Embracing everyone in your organization won’t be easy, but here are seven strategies that can help your staff feel more secure throughout this time of transition.1) Solicit Buy-In Prior to Launch At The Ritz-Carlton, one of our Service Values is: “I’m involved in the planning of the work that affects me.” This means that major decisions should not be made in private, executive meetings and then simply announced to employees. As you begin making plans, consider holding focus groups or taking surveys and soliciting employee opinion. An organization had to make a decision that they knew many employees wouldn’t like. They decided to hold focus groups with key stakeholders—even though management felt this wouldn’t change the ultimate decision. The focus groups provided the opportunity for stakeholders to share concerns and for leaders to explain the reasons the change was needed." }, { "docid": "D2455219#0", "title": "http://iveybusinessjournal.com/publication/creating-a-performance-culture/\nCREATING A PERFORMANCE CULTURE", "text": "CREATING A PERFORMANCE CULTUREby: Joanne Reid, Victoria Hubbell, Victoria Hubbell Issues: March / April 2005.

Employees who are engaged are defined by Gallup as those who “are committed to their jobs and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations. ”Motivation is defined as “having an interest in or enthusiasm for doing something. ”Thus, employee motivation falls under the umbrella of employee engagement. Both employee motivation and engagement are critical for performance because those who are not engaged (and thus, not motivated) are “unlikely to contribute discretionary efforts to further company goals,” according to Gallup. This is a major concern for executives, as 63% of the workplace is disengaged. You can read some additional stats on employee engagement here. Simply put, employee motivation and engagement are what make employees want to perform their best. Without being motivated, employees fail to see how their contributions matter to company priorities.

Employee retention can be represented by a simple statistic (for example, a retention rate of 80% usually indicates that an organization kept 80% of its employees in a given period). However, many consider employee retention as relating to the efforts by which employers attempt to retain the employees in their workforce. In this sense, retention becomes the strategies rather than the outcome. [ 1]A distinction should be drawn between low-performing employees and top performers, and efforts to retain employees should be targeted at valuable, contributing employees. Employee turnover is a symptom of deeper issues that have not been resolved, which may include low employee morale, absence of a clear career path, lack of recognition, poor employee-manager relationships or many other issues. A lack of satisfaction and commitment to the organization can also cause an employee to withdraw and begin looking for other opportunities. Pay does not always play as large a role in inducing turnover as is typically believed. [ 2]In a business setting, the goal of employers is usually to decrease employee turnover, thereby decreasing training costs, recruitment costs and loss of talent and organisational knowledge. By implementing lessons learned from key organizational behavior concepts, employers can improve retention rates and decrease the associated costs of high turnover." }, { "docid": "D1916792#0", "title": "http://workforcediversitynetwork.com/res_articles_diversitymetricsmeasurementevaluation.aspx\n.", "text": "\"Article Diversity Metrics, Measurement, and Evaluationby Marc Brenman Introduction Quantitative indicators are important.

What Is Employee Disengagement? Employee disengagement refers to the way that an employee feels about and is connected to their job, which translates to the amount of effort they put into their work, and their sense of commitment to their organization. When an employee is disengaged they feel a lack of interest in their role and day to day tasks. This absence of enthusiasm has the consequence of employees not putting in the required effort to properly complete their assigned tasks, or desire to go above and beyond their call of duty to help bring the company to new heights. Employee disengagement is dangerous Causes Of Disengaged Employees There are many causes of employee disengagement, but the first thing to understand is that disengaged employees are not necessarily equivalent to bad employees.

Yet despite growing recognition of the importance of patient-centered care, as well as evidence of its effectiveness in contributing to other system goals such as efficiency and effectiveness, the nation's health care system falls short of achieving it. Data from national and international studies indicate that patients often rate hospitals and medical care providers highly, but report significant problems in gaining access to critical information, understanding treatment options, getting explanations regarding medications, and receiving responsive, compassionate service from their caregivers. This paper was commissioned by The Picker Institute to explore what it will take to achieve more rapid and widespread implementation of patient-centered care in both inpatient and ambulatory health care settings. The findings and recommendations of this paper are based largely on a series of interviews with opinion leaders selected for their experience and expertise in either designing or implementing strategies for achieving excellence in patient-centered care. Key Attributes of Patient-Centered Care A high degree of consensus exists regarding the key attributes of patient-centered care. In a systematic review of nine models and frameworks for defining patient-centered care, the following six core elements were identified most frequently: Education and shared knowledge Involvement of family and friends Collaboration and team management Sensitivity to nonmedical and spiritual dimensions of care Respect for patient needs and preferences Free flow and accessibility of information Factors Contributing to Patient-Centered Care The interviews and literature reviewed for this project identified seven key factors that contribute to achieving patient-centered care at the organizational level: Leadership, at the level of the CEO and board of directors, sufficiently committed and engaged to unify and sustain the organization in a common mission." }, { "docid": "D3312798#0", "title": "https://www.glassdoor.com/employers/popular-topics/hr-stats.htm\nTop HR Statistics", "text": "\"Top HR Statistics The latest stats for HR & Recruiting Pros Hiring?

In many aspects, leaders in human resources are responsible for managing a complex product comprising culture, environment, and reward elements — each element having different cost/value drivers, communication channel needs, process and delivery components, varying preferences across segments, and even shelf life (flexible spending accounts for instance). To guide the strategic development of the employee value proposition, many in HR are now starting to embrace the same sort of tools used for decades by marketing. Applying the Marketing Model to HRLike marketers, organizations seek to attract and retain customers — employee customers — often in an extremely competitive environment. Talent can enable or constrain competitive success, and as the war for talent intensifies, whether from changing demographics or critical-talent shortages, more importance will be placed on acquiring and retaining critical people. As in marketing, the concept is to create an employee value proposition that best satisfies the needs of the workforce (the customer) and is aligned with the strategic objectives of the organization. Although not a sale in terms of an overt and conscious decision by the employee to buy (join/stay with) the company, the sale is reflected in other ways, such as in engagement metrics, reduced attrition, lower employee acquisition costs, and improved productivity. How can leading HR organizations address the needs of their employees and ensure that sufficient value is offered by their employees?

We’ve also done some analyses and found a moderate relationship between participation rates and employee engagement levels. However, the relationship is nowhere near perfect and there does appear to be a trade off effect above the 85-90% mark. Is 100% participation on a staff survey good? We recently found a company with the lowest engagement score (in the last 12 months) had a 100% participation rate. In fact, a 100% participation rate is often a bad sign and it is usually accompanied by comments about coercion and a large number of missing responses or unmeaningful responses (e.g. all ‘strongly agree’ or ‘strongly disagree’). So, having a 100% response rate is sometimes associated with poorer quality data – and it is quality of data that we should be focused on, not the quantity. In employee surveys we are not trying to generalise from a relatively small sample to a much larger population like we often are in customer or political research. In employee surveys we are mostly talking about participation rates well above 50% (which is about the rate achieved in US elections) and generally in the 65-85% range.

Additional considerations include nurses’ level of commitment to the organization that employs them, and their commitment to the nursing profession itself.

Background Authentic leadership has been proposed as the root element of effective leadership needed to build healthier work environments because there is special attention to the development of empowering leader–follower relationships. Although the influence of leadership style and empowerment on job satisfaction is well documented, there are few studies examining the influence of authentic leadership on nurses' empowerment and work outcomes.

But once your dog sees them, it already has a torsion and a serious life-threatening disease with a high chance of dying. As a physician and also someone very interested in diet and nutrition, I am more interested in preventing ‘bloat’ in the first place and this is the focus of this lecture. I hope you may take away from it a better understanding of what the condition is and why it occurs and also some tips for prevention if possible. However, you should also remember that, in spite of a lot of clinical research on the subject, we still do not fully understand why this condition occurs or how to prevent it. This is because it is primarily a problem with gut ‘motility’ i.e. movement and not so much gut structure - and primary gut motility disorders are the hardest to study and treat - in people as well as animals. WHAT IS ‘BLOAT’/GDV?‘Bloat’ or gastric dilatation is when the stomach fills up with gas like a balloon. Bloat itself is very uncomfortable for the dog but not life-threatening until the stomach ‘twists’ which = ‘torsion’ (gastric dilatation and volvulus or GDV to use the technical term.) GDV IS life threatening because it prevents blood in the veins returning to the heart and causes the stomach wall to die - these result in shock and death if something is not done quickly. It has been calculated that high risk large and giant breeds had a 21-24% risk of getting GDV during their lifetime and a 7% risk of dying as a result." }, { "docid": "D461411#0", "title": "https://www.forbes.com/sites/jennifercohen/2012/07/25/14-healthy-foods-that-are-actually-bad-for-you/\n\"14 \"\"Healthy\"\" Foods That Are Actually Bad For You\"", "text": "\"Jennifer Cohen Contributor I help executives & entrepreneurs boost productivity through wellness.

Answer: While researchers continue to investigate the connection between sugar and cancer, it remains a source of anxiety-inducing speculation and misinformation in the media and on the internet. Of course, the undeniable answer is that glucose (the form of sugar used most in the body) feeds every cell in the body, and is so important to the function of your brain that the body has several back up strategies to keep blood sugar levels normal. Even without any carbohydrate in the diet, your body will make sugar from other sources, including protein and fat. The idea that sugar could directly fuel the growth of cancer cells can lead some people to avoid all carbohydrate-containing foods. This is counter-productive for anyone struggling to maintain their weight while dealing with side effects of cancer and treatments. More importantly, the inevitable anxiety of trying to completely avoid “all sugar” creates stress. Stress turns on the fight or flight mechanisms, increasing the production of hormones that can raise blood sugar levels and suppress immune function. Both of these things may reduce any possible benefit of eliminating sugar in the first place. Much research shows that it is sugar’s relationship to higher insulin levels and related growth factors that may influence cancer cell growth the most, and increase risk of other chronic diseases." }, { "docid": "D1665509#0", "title": "http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/healthy-sugar-intake-per-day-6128.html\nWhat is a Healthy Sugar Intake Per Day", "text": "Related Articles What Does a Gram of Sugar Mean on a Nutrition Label?

Electrical conduits are made of metal, plastic, or fiber and could be rigid or flexible. Conduits must be installed by electricians following standard regulations, as those provided by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Here are seven of the most common used electrical conduits. Galvanized Rigid Conduit or RMCA conduit made from galvanized steel tubing is commonly referred as a rigid conduit. The thickness of a galvanized rigid conduit protects the electrical wiring from being hit and allows it to be threaded. Galvanized rigid conduits are used by electricians in commercial and industrial applications normally available in 10 feet and 20 feet lengths. This type of electrical conduit is used above grade and has threads on both ends with a coupling on one end. The installation of Rigid Steel Conduit (RSC) is covered by Article 344 of the National Electrical Code® (NEC®).

The disadvantage is that it is more easily crushed and, unlike RMC, a nail driven through a wall can penetrate EMT. All grounded metal conduit helps to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), by preventing the conductors inside the conduit from acting as an antenna, either broadcasting interference or picking it up. Most EMT is steel, galvanized on the outside and painted on the inside with an organic coating.

Service entrance conductors Before you begin a service installation, determine which conductors are actually part of the service (line side of the service equipment) rather than feeders and branch circuits (load side of the service equipment). Although each service drop or service lateral can supply only one set of service entrance conductors [230.40], there are five exceptions: Exception No. 1: A building with more than one occupancy can have service entrance conductors for each occupancy. This exception commonly applies to strip malls and even to duplexes, triplexes, and other multiple-family buildings (e.g., apartment houses) to allow locating metering equipment at or near the end of the service drop or service lateral instead of at multiple locations. The rules on the location and grouping of service disconnecting means in 230.71 and 230.72 still apply." }, { "docid": "D1734129#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/How_old_do_you_have_to_be_an_emt\nHow old do you have to be an emt?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Health Medical Fields Emergency Medicine EMT and Paramedics How old do you have to be an emt?

Therefore, on any given job, it's advantageous for electricians to use both types in concert. To do so most effectively, it's important to understand specific construction specifications and permitted uses for each system, but first let's begin with some basic definitions. Definitions. Although MC resembles its close relative, armored cable, there are some distinct differences. Whereas armored cable has a grounding strip in intimate contact with the inside of the metallic sheath, which can then serve as the equipment grounding conductor, MC cable has no such strip. Therefore, the outer sheath of MC cable does not qualify as an equipment grounding conductor. MC cable contains an insulated grounding conductor which, when properly terminated at both ends, makes a reliable return path for fault current, enabling the overcurrent device to perform its protective role." }, { "docid": "D3165223#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/23607558/emt-msjc-this-one-scott-flash-cards/\nEMT MSJC This one Scott!!!!!!", "text": "2,000 terms orrin_herterich EMT MSJC This one Scott!!!!! ! everything a emt should know!! !

NECBy Tony Casazza, RCDDBefore we start to discuss the differences between the EIA/TIA-569 (Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces) and the National Electrical Code (herein referred to as “NEC” or “the code”), as they pertain to conduit installations, let’s keep in mind, the fact that the NEC is the law of the land, and the EIA/TIA-569 is a recommended standard. Important Note: Always refer to local codes, in addition to the NEC, or 569, when planning, or performing an installation. If you ever read through the NEC, you will notice that along with almost every rule, there will be a list of exceptions to the rule. The exceptions recognize the fact that these installations are done in the real world. There are many instances where a rule may not apply, or not be practical, or may make certain installations impossible to do. The writers of the code, on a regular basis, receive feedback from, and consult with, many building industry sources, and make changes accordingly. The NEC is revised every three to four years. It seems that the 569 standard is much more stringent on many aspects of conduit installations, than the NEC. There can be many circumstances where a telecommunications professional, with good intentions, may have no other choice but not to comply with the 569 standard." }, { "docid": "D3395112#0", "title": "http://www.ashland.or.us/StaffDirectory.asp\nAll Staff MembersAll Staff MembersAdministrationAdministrative ServicesCity CouncilCity RecorderCommunity DevelopmentElectricFireHuman ResourcesMunicipal CourtParks and RecreationPolicePublic Works", "text": "All Staff Members All Staff Members Administration Administrative Services City Council City Recorder Community Development Electric Fire Human Resources Municipal Court Parks and Recreation Police Public Works First Name Last Name Title Phone # City Department Email Dena Adame Telecommunication Technician 541-552-2222 Information Technology/ Telecommunications Division Administration Administration Administration City Administrator ADA Coordinator 541-488-6002 Administration Lori Ainsworth Volunteer & Special Events Coordinator 541-552-2264 Parks and Recreation Jim Alderman Police Sergeant 541-552-2124 Police Hector Aleman Accounting Analyst Administrative Services/ Accounting Division Jennifer Anderson Customer Service Specialist 541-552-2026 Administrative Services/ Customer Services (Utility Billing)Alistair Andre Water Treatment Plant Operator II 541-488-5353 Public Works/ Water David Arnold Utility Worker III 541-488-5358 Public Works/ Facilities Maintenance Jackie Bachman City Councilor City Council Jessica Bain Water Conservation Assistant 541-552-2421 Administration/ Conservation Division Brad Barber PW Project Manager/Surveyor 541-552-2416 Public Works/ Engineering Andrew Barrow Code Compliance Specialist 541-552-2424 Community Development/ Planning Division/ Code Compliance Rick Barton Journeyman Line Installer 541-488-5357 Electric Peter Baughman Park Technician III 541-488-5340 Parks and Recreation Everett Bean Groundsperson Meter Reader 541-488-5357 Electric Kristine Bechtold Paralegal 541-552-2107 Administration/ City Attorney Todd Beck Engineer EMT-P 541-482-2770 Fire Michele Becraft Senior Financial Clerk 541-552-2011 Administrative Services/ Customer Services (Utility Billing)Jenette Bertocchi Police Investigations Specialist 541-552-2183 Police Brett Bibby Police Officer 541-482-5211 ext 2830 Police Amanda Billings Police Records Specialist 541-552-2113 Police Jason Billings Police Officer 541-488-5211 ext. 2846 Police Avram Biondo Street Division Supervisor 541-552-2345 Public Works/ Streets Michael Black Parks & Recreation Director 541-552-2251 Parks and Recreation Steve Boyersmith Captain EMT-P 541-482-2770 Fire Josh Brown Senior Utility Worker 541-488-5353 Public Works/ Water Katrina Brown Assistant City Attorney Administration/ City Attorney Paula Brown Public Works Director 541-552-2411 Public Works Eric Bruhn Database Administrator 541-552-2407 Information Technology/ Information Systems Steve Burkhalter Utility Technician -

These piping systems are commonly referred to as raceways. Advantages of using Electrical conduits than other wiring methods Electrical conduit provides very good protection to enclosed conductors from impact, moisture, and chemical vapors. Electrical Conduit is widely used to protect cables that carry various amounts of electrical current. For example, Rigid conduit used is used to guard against crushing and shorting of cables. Conduit prevents accidental damage to the insulation. Varying numbers, sizes, and types of conductors can be pulled into a conduit, which simplifies design and construction compared to multiple runs of cables or the expense of customized composite cable. Wiring systems in buildings may be subject to frequent alterations. Frequent wiring changes are made simpler and safer through the use of electrical conduit, as existing conductors can be withdrawn and new conductors installed, with little disruption along the path of the conduit. Metal conduit can be used to shield sensitive circuits from electromagnetic interference, and also can prevent emission of such interference from enclosed power cables." }, { "docid": "D2402569#0", "title": "http://www.health.ny.gov/professionals/ems/policy/02-01.htm\nRequirements to Report Instances of Suspected Child Abuse or Maltreatment", "text": "\"You are Here: Home Page > Bureau of EMS Home Page > Requirements to Report Instances of Suspected Child Abuse or Maltreatment Requirements to Report Instances of Suspected Child Abuse or Maltreatment Bureau of EMS Policy Statement Policy Statement # 02-01Date 01/02/02Subject Re: Requirements to report instances of suspected child abuse or maltreatment Supercedes/Updates New On November 13th, 2001 Section 413 of the Social Services Law was amended, in relation to persons and officials who are required to report cases of suspected child abuse or maltreatment.

Paramedic training is intense and rigorous, but the rewards of serving others can be tremendous Sep 13, 2016The requirements to be a paramedic are extremely rigorous, so it’s not an undertaking or a career choice to be taken lightly. A paramedic is the highest level of EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) certification. A paramedic is trained and certified to perform advanced life support (ALS), which includes administering IV fluids, injections, medications and performing advanced respiratory procedures. A paramedic also performs many of the same functions as a basic EMT, such as treating wounds, performing CPR, delivering babies, and performing patient assessments. Paramedics are often the lead member of a rescue team, with the most training and the most decision making power. This means that the requirements to be a paramedic include strong leadership skills and the ability to perform complex life-saving functions in extremely stressful crisis situations.

On January 1st 2002, 12 EU members got rid of their own currencies and introduced the Euro as their sole currency. If Britain joins the Euro, it will likely be in 2003. The government has offered the British public a referendum on Britain’s entry into it though some ministers have clouded the issue as to whether Britain’s entry (or not) will be a political or an economic decision. Jack Straw, Home Secretary, has stated that a decision will almost certainly be a political one whereas the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, has stated that the ‘Five Tests’ will determine whether we join the Euro – i.e., any decision will be an economic one. The Euro’s record since its introduction has been poor as measured by its value against the pound and US Dollar, and the relative performance of the European and UK/USA economies.

Rich in antioxidants and polyunsaturated fats (including omega-3 fatty acids ), emu oil has long been used in aboriginal culture to treat skin conditions. Widely touted for its purported anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, emu oil is said to promote the healing of wounds and to treat skin conditions as far-ranging as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and rashes. When used for hair care, emu oil is said to increase fullness, add shine, eliminate split ends, and control dandruff. Purported Health Benefits Beyond its benefits to the skin and hair, emu oil is believed by some to treat other health conditions, including those associated with the immune system.

The product was first patented in the United States in 1957 and has since become a common household kitchen item. The most common lubricants in cooking sprays are low priced vegetable oils like canola oil and soybean oil. There are also cooking sprays available with higher quality and better tasting oils such as olive oil and peanut oil. Some manufactures offer lines of cooking spray that are made with all organic ingredients. Others offer alternative lubricants that are high in Omega 3 oils or offer a balance of fats that contribute to healthy cholesterol levels.

It's not the same as salad dressing, which doesn't contain egg yolks and is generally sweeter than mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is an emulsion, which is a mixture of two liquids that normally can't be combined. Combining oil and water is the classic example. Emulsifying is done by slowly adding one ingredient to another while simultaneously mixing rapidly. This disperses and suspends tiny droplets of one liquid through another. However, the two liquids would quickly separate again if an emulsifier were not added. Emulsifiers are liaisons between the two liquids and serve to stabilize the mixture.

Sadly, swapping out emulsifying wax for anything other than an emulsifier (which beeswax isn’t, sadly) is like using a paint chip instead of an egg because they’re both yellow. You can pair beeswax with borax to make an emulsion, but then you can only do a 1:1 ratio of oils to water, which makes for a very greasy lotion (borax also generally gets lower safety rating than e-waxes). I have seen plain beeswax emulsions achieved as well, but it’s a much more complicated process that melt & blend, which is what e-wax gives us (I’m still working on figuring out exactly what that process is—no luck so far after 5+ years!). Emulsifying wax isn’t just one ingredient, though—there are a lot of different types, made from different ingredients. All of these ingredients are usually derived from plants—mostly coconut & palm because they’re very cheap. I like emulsimulse —not only does it make beautiful lotions, but it is ECOCERT approved for use in certified organic products, and it gets good ratings on Skin Deep. If you can’t get Emulsimulse/Ritamulse look for polawax, emulsifying wax NF, and ritamulse/vegemulse (other names for emulsimulse), and BTMS-50 (not BTMS-25!). All will do the same thing.

Moreover, they are high non-polar substance ( Doesn't mix with water properly) because of their long hydrocarbon chains. Since they are large molecules and non-polar, if left as such, the enzyme lipase (for breaking fats ) can not act on fats directly during digestion. It needs to be broken down in to small bit so that the enzyme lipase will have more surface to act upon, which means effective break down of fats and hence good digestion. Here, the bile comes in to action. Since, they are amphipathic ( Have characteristics of both polar and non-polar substances), they split fats in to small, workable balls, which makes the action of lipase more effective in digesting them by providing more surface area for the enzyme action. Thus bile forms a bridge kind of association between the fats and the lipase action. Formation of these small droplets of workable structures is called emulsification. The fat (non-polar ) mixes with the non-polar part of the bile and the other side of bile has polar nature. This makes it to split in to small droplets." }, { "docid": "D2151662#0", "title": "https://essentialoilsandyou.co.uk/tag/macerated-oils/\nEssential Oils and You", "text": "How To Make Your Own Natural Face and Body Cream May 17, 2014 ~ 8 Comments Below are the notes from one of the workshops I regularly run, with instruction on how to make your own completely natural face and body cream, with out any chemicals, emulsifiers or preservatives.

When the cream is ready, and you have your own pot to take away, you can choose to mix in essential oils or not, and if so, you can choose one or a few different essential oils to mix in, and a blend strength that suits its intended use (up to 1% for the face, and up to 5% for the body). See blend strength chart in my previous blog for more details. If you decide to make your own cream after the workshop, then you can follow the recipe used, but you may like to vary the ingredients a little according to your skin type, or to get a specific effect. Just be aware that you need to keep the ratios of different types of products the same -so keep the amount of water, oil, butter and wax products used the same. There is room for a little variation here, you just need to be aware that if you use more water products, the cream will have a thinner consistency, and if you use more solids then it will be thicker in consistency, so you can tailor this to your desire too. The recipe we will use is for a simple cream involving no chemical emulsifier. Most cosmetic creams will use an emulsifier of some kind -usually emulsifying wax.

So what exactly is an emulsifier? An emulsifier is used when ever you want to mix two components and keep them from separating. Emulsifiers are used where one part is oil based and the other is water based. Most folks know and understand that oil and water do not mix. But you can MAKE them stay blended together by using an agent called an emulsifier. There are many different types of substances that can be used to ‘emulsify’ depending on what you are mixing together and the purpose or end use. Typically the commonly used emulsifiers used in Aromatherapy are to help blend essential oils into water based sprays. But you may need to use them to make other products like bath salts and to scent some lotions, creams and hair care products. In the rest of the cosmetic industry they help not only to keep the product from separating, they may also help to thicken the final product." }, { "docid": "D2614148#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_different_between_lipase_and_bile\nWhat is the different between lipase and bile?", "text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Definitions Comparisons The Difference Between What is the different between lipase and bile?

In the gut, fats exist as relatively large globs that cannot be absorbed. To prepare fats for absorption, they must first be broken down into their component parts. An enzyme called lipase (\"\"lip-\"\", fat; \"\"-ase\"\", break down) is capable of breaking down the large fat globs. However, lipase acting by itself would be very inefficient because these large fat globs have a very low surface area-to-volume ratio. This means that the globs have a lot of fat in them, but not much surface for lipase to work on. Lipase can only act efficiently on fat globs with high surface area-to-volume ratios.

Emulsifying wax is one of the essential ingredients in making lotions and creams. Think of it as the “glue” that will hold your recipe together. We’ve all seen how oily salad dressings separate after sitting for a while. You then shake the bottle until it appears to be mixed, but if you look at it closely, you will see little balls of the oil suspended in the liquid. Left to sit, the dressing will again separate into its different properties. Lotions and creams are created from a mixture of water and oils. Without the addition of emulsifying wax, they too would separate back into water and oils. Adding emulsifying wax to your recipe will keep the oil and water from separating by creating an emulsion between the oil and water.

Introduction: The Hebrew word “ kosher ” means fit or proper as it relates to Jewish dietary law. Kosher foods are permitted to be eaten, and can be used as ingredients in the production of additional food items. The basic laws are of Biblical origin (Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 17). For thousands of years, Rabbinic scholars have interpreted these laws and applied them to contemporary situations. In addition, Rabbinic bodies enacted protective legislation to safeguard the integrity of kosher laws. The laws of kosher are complex and extensive. The intention of this guide is to acquaint the reader with some of the fundamentals of kashrut and provide insight into its practical application. Given the complex nature of the laws of kosher, one should consult an Orthodox Rabbi whenever an issue arises. Though an ancillary hygienic benefit has been attributed to the observance of kashrut, the ultimate purpose and rationale is to conform to the Divine Will, as expressed in the Torah.

Moreover, they are high non-polar substance ( Doesn't mix with water properly) because of their long hydrocarbon chains. Since they are large molecules and non-polar, if left as such, the enzyme lipase (for breaking fats ) can not act on fats directly during digestion. It needs to be broken down in to small bit so that the enzyme lipase will have more surface to act upon, which means effective break down of fats and hence good digestion. Here, the bile comes in to action. Since, they are amphipathic ( Have characteristics of both polar and non-polar substances), they split fats in to small, workable balls, which makes the action of lipase more effective in digesting them by providing more surface area for the enzyme action. Thus bile forms a bridge kind of association between the fats and the lipase action. Formation of these small droplets of workable structures is called emulsification. The fat (non-polar ) mixes with the non-polar part of the bile and the other side of bile has polar nature. This makes it to split in to small droplets." }, { "docid": "D3314006#0", "title": "http://www.eufic.org/en/whats-in-food/article/the-perfect-mixture-emulsifiers-make-our-food-enjoyable\nThe perfect mixture: emulsifiers make our food enjoyable", "text": "The perfect mixture: emulsifiers make our food enjoyable Ingredients | Additives | 01 April 2005Add oil to water and the two liquids will never mix. At least not until an emulsifier is added. Emulsifiers are molecules with one water-loving (hydrophilic) and one oil-loving (hydrophobic) end. They make it possible for water and oil to become finely dispersed in each other, creating a stable, homogenous, smooth emulsion. The ancient Greeks already used the emulsifying power of beeswax in cosmetic products, and egg yolk was probably the first emulsifier ever used in ‘food production’ back in the early 19th century. Because of the rather short-term stability of egg yolk, the manufacturers switched to lecithin derived from soybeans, which has been an important food product since the 1920’s. But the most important breakthrough for emulsifiers came ten years later when certain derivatives of fatty acids (mono- and di-glycerides) were introduced. In 1936, their use was patented for ice-cream production. Nowadays, emulsifier food additives play an important role in the manufacture of food products such as margarine, mayonnaise, creamy sauces, candy, many packaged processed foods, confections and a range of bakery products.

There are several causes, but the most common is viral infection. Encephalitis often causes only mild flu-like signs and symptoms — such as a fever or headache — or no symptoms at all. Sometimes the flu-like symptoms are more severe. Encephalitis can also cause confused thinking, seizures, or problems with senses or movement. Rarely, encephalitis can be life-threatening. Timely diagnosis and treatment are important because it's difficult to predict how encephalitis will affect each individual. Encephalitis care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms Bulging fontanel Most people with viral encephalitis have mild flu-like symptoms, such as: Headache Fever Aches in muscles or joints Fatigue or weakness Sometimes the signs and symptoms are more severe, and might include: Confusion, agitation or hallucinations Seizures Loss of sensation or paralysis in certain areas of the face or body Muscle weakness Problems with speech or hearing Loss of consciousness In infants and young children, signs and symptoms might also include: Bulging in the soft spots (fontanels) of an infant's skull Nausea and vomiting Body stiffness Poor feeding or not waking for a feeding Irritability When to see a doctor Get immediate care if you are experiencing any of the more-severe symptoms associated with encephalitis. Severe headache, fever and altered consciousness require urgent care. Infants and young children with any signs or symptoms of encephalitis should receive urgent care." } ]

We aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of serum and CSF antibody testing in patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, and the relation between titres, relapses, outcome, and epitope repertoire. Methods In this observational study, we used rat brain immunohistochemistry and cell-based assays (CBA) with fixed or live NMDA receptor-expressing cells to determine the sensitivity and specificity of antibody testing in paired serum and CSF samples. Samples were obtained at diagnosis from patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and from control participants worldwide. We deemed a patient to be antibody positive if their serum, their CSF, or both tested positive with both immunohistochemistry and CBA techniques; we determined titres with serial sample dilution using brain immunohistochemistry. We examined samples from 45 patients (25 with good outcome [modified Rankin Scale, m RS 0–2], ten with poor outcome [m RS 3–6], and ten with relapses) at three or more timepoints. We determined the epitope repertoire in the samples of 23 patients with CBA expressing Glu N1-NMDA receptor mutants. Findings We analysed samples from 250 patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and 100 control participants. All 250 patients had NMDA receptor antibodies in CSF but only 214 had antibodies in serum (sensitivity 100·0% [98·5–100·0%] vs 85·6% [80·7–89·4%], p<0·0001). Serum immunohistochemistry testing was more often in agreement with CBA with fixed cells (77 [71%] of 108) than with CBA with live cells (63 [58%] of 108, p=0·0056)." }, { "docid": "D697513#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/96574167/west-nile-virus-flash-cards/\nWest Nile Virus", "text": "\"41 terms vlbaker1West Nile Virus Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Like this study set?

He also appears to minimize the importance of large brains in humans (the term is \"\"encephalization,\"\" discussed later herein). From Le Gros Clark [1964, pp. 4-5]: In Homo the large size of the brain relative to the body weight is certainly a feature which distinguishes this genus from all other Hominoidea, but it actually represents no more than an extension of the trend toward a progressive elaboration of the brain shown in the evolution of related primates.

The use of a model allows the statistical estimation of \"\"expected\"\" brain size, given body size. Foley and Lee [1991], citing Martin [1981, 1983], use the equation: BM (e) = 1.77 * (W 0.76) [ Note: * indicates multiplication]where BM (e) = predicted brain mass, in grams, and W = body mass, in grams. A similar equation is given in Martin [1989], as cited in Foley and Lee [1991], specifically for primates. The above equation is an example of scaling, as it defines a relationship between a dependent variable (in the above, BM (e) or expected brain mass) and a measure of body size or scale. Further, the mathematical relationship above is non- linear, or allometric. A short, easily readable introduction to the topic of scaling is provided by Martin [1992]. Returning to the topic of encephalization, once an estimate of brain mass is obtained using a credible statistical model (based on data from a range of species), encephalization can be measured. Foley and Lee [1991] provide a good explanation of encephalization quotients (p. 223): Encephalization quotients (EQ) represent the positive or negative residual value of brain mass, calculated by: EQ = BM (0) ÷ BM (e) where BM (0) = actual brain mass, and BM (e) = predicted brain mass for body size. The coefficient of the allometric equation [for BM (e), above] is close to 0.75, similar to the relationship between body size and basal metabolic rate (BMR, Kleiber 1961). This implies that brain size and BMR are isometrically related, from which the further inference may be drawn that the size of an individual's brain is closely linked to the amount of energy available to sustain it (Milton 1988, Parker 1990)." }, { "docid": "D255242#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_diseases_do_mosquitoes_carry\nWhat diseases do mosquitoes carry?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Arthropods Insects Mosquitoes What diseases do mosquitoes carry?

A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease. Know the Risk Factors While not an acoustic neuroma \"\"cause,\"\" studies have found a couple of factors that may increase a person's risk of developing it. Specific risk factors for acoustic neuroma include: Age Family history of neurofibromatosis type 2.

If you didn't put a program on your computer to do this it sounds very suspicious. Or maybe you got a new USB flash drive with this feature? It is not Windows XP Pro encryption, that works differently and doesn't ask you this kind of question. For Window XP Pro encryption you just turn it on for a folder or a file by right click -> Properties -> Advanced, selecting encryption and from then on it will encrypt them and and decrypt them as you use those files and it doesn't ask for a password because it is tied to your normal user password.

( Windows XP Home doesn't include EFS.) EFS enables transparent encryption and decryption of files by using advanced, standard cryptographic algorithms. Any individual or program that doesn't possess the appropriate cryptographic key cannot read the encrypted data. Encrypted files can be protected even from those who gain physical possession of the computer that the files reside on. Even persons who are authorized to access the computer and its file system cannot view the data. While other defensive strategies should be used, and encryption isn't the correct countermeasure for every threat, encryption is a powerful addition to any defensive strategy. EFS is the built-in file encryption tool for Windows file systems. However, every defensive weapon, if used incorrectly, carries the potential for harm. EFS must be understood, implemented appropriately, and managed effectively to ensure that your experience, the experience of those to whom you provide support, and the data you wish to protect aren't harmed." }, { "docid": "D879205#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_encryption\nDisk encryption", "text": "\"Disk encryption From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Disk encryption is a technology which protects information by converting it into unreadable code that cannot be deciphered easily by unauthorized people.

TDE is the optimal choice for bulk encryption to meet regulatory compliance or corporate data security standards. TDE works at the file level, which is similar to two Windows ® features: the Encrypting File System (EFS) and Bit Locker™ Drive Encryption, the new volume-level encryption introduced in Windows Vista ® , both of which also encrypt data on the hard drive. TDE does not replace cell-level encryption, EFS, or Bit Locker. This white paper compares TDE with these other encryption methods for application developers and database administrators. While this is not a technical, in-depth review of TDE, technical implementations are explored and a familiarity with concepts such as virtual log files and the buffer pool are assumed. The user is assumed to be familiar with cell-level encryption and cryptography in general. Implementing database encryption is covered, but not the rationale for encrypting a database.

The security Sookasa offers enables you to seamlessly incorporate Google Drive encryption into your workflow, protecting your data wherever it resides. Why is Google Drive encryption important? With the cloud’s many advantages comes a plethora of issues, not least of which is the threat of data breaches and subsequent data theft. With so many companies now using Google Drive to store, share, and sync sensitive company data, financial information, privileged client files, or patients’ personal health information, there’s a lot of critical information on the line. A data breach could result in the exposure of intellectual property, personal harm to clients or patients, compliance and privacy violations, and financial damage. Google Drive offers a slew of security measures that protect files like these in the cloud, but a major flaw in the software’s default security is the lack of Google Drive encryption for files synced to mobile devices. What this means is that without adding an extra layer of protection, files stored in Google Drive lose their security as soon as they’re synced to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or limits users from accessing their system, either by locking the system's screen or by locking the users' files unless a ransom is paid. More modern ransomware families, collectively categorized as crypto-ransomware, encrypt certain file types on infected systems and forces users to pay the ransom through certain online payment methods to get a decrypt key. Ransom Prices and Payment Ransom prices vary depending on the ransomware variant and the price or exchange rates of digital currencies.

If a user encrypts his/her files and folders, a certificate with a private key is created and stored automatically. After this, no one besides this user is able to open or modify the encrypted files. The user can still export a decryption certificate without the private key for those who need to access his/her files. If a user loses encryption certificate (for example, due to a forcible password reset) and has no backup of it, he/she will lose all access to the encrypted files. Linux is of no help in such case, either - no third-party EFS driver is available there. Only Professional/Business and Ultimate/Enterprise editions of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 support file and folder encryption on NTFS file system.

A profile is created the first time that a user logs on to a Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT® Workstation–based computer. A user profile is a group of settings and files that defines the environment that the system loads when a user logs on. It includes all the user-specific configuration settings, such as program items, screen colors, network connections, printer connections, mouse settings, and window size and position. Profiles are not user policies and the user has a profile even if you don't use Group Policy. A user's data can be stored on the local hard disk drive, or Intelli Mirror can be set so that the data roams with the user wherever he or she logs on.

Yeah, it happens to the best of us. For such situations, you need a way to crack/open/extract/unlock the password protected or encrypted ZIPs, PDFs, RARs, XLSs, or XLSXs. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. BEFORE WE BEGINFor the purposes of cracking, opening, extracting, or unlocking password protected or encrypted ZIP, PDF, RAR, XLS, and XLSX files, we will be using a freeware program called Appnimi All-In-One Password Unlocker. Appnimi All-In-One Password Unlocker is a program that makes use of brute-force and/or dictionary attacks to “guess” the password to password protected or encrypted ZIP, PDF, RAR, XLS, and XLSX files. Appnimi All-In-One Password Unlocker is portable and officially works on Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Win7 (Win8 isn’t officially supported but it likely works on Win8, too). Please take note while Appnimi All-In-One Password Unlocker is portable, it is one of those portable programs that you must “install”. Once installed, you can grab the Appnimi All In One Password Unlocker.exe file from your installation location (which is C:\\Program Files\\Appnimi\\Appnimi All-In-One Password Unlocker, unless you change it) and place it on any USB drive, external hard drive, on another computer, etc. — it is portable and will run anywhere without installation." }, { "docid": "D3325584#0", "title": "https://blogs.cisco.com/security/on_information_entropy\nOn Information Entropy", "text": "\"Cisco Blog > Security Security On Information Entropy Mike Schiffman - August 16, 2010 - 3 Comments In this blog post you will learn about entropy within the domain of information theory.

Adelheid comes from the Germanic elements “adal” meaning ‘noble’ and “heid” meaning ‘kind, sort, type’ – therefore Heidi essentially comes from a name that means ‘the noble one’. Though mainly a nickname used in Switzerland, Heidi became popular among English speakers shortly after the 1880 publication of the children’s classic “Heidi” by the Swiss writer Johanna Spyri. After penetrating her grandfather’s reclusive heart and harsh exterior, demonstrating acts of ‘nobility’ and kindness, and running around the Swiss Alps with her adventurous spirit, this little girl walked into the hearts and imaginations of all her readers. Today, Heidi continues to be a Top 100 favorite name in England, Northern Ireland and Australia. Popularity of the Name Heidi Heidi came onto the U. S. naming charts in 1939, shortly after the lovable Shirley Temple portrayed the character of “Heidi” in a popular film. This probably helped bring the name back to life. Like Alice, Wendy or Madeline, Heidi is a quintessential little girl’s name thanks to the classic and widely read children’s story. The height of Heidi’s popularity in the United States came between the mid-1960s and mid-1980s when she maintained a spot on the Top 100 list of most favored girl names for almost 20 straight years. Heidi has been on the decline since the 1990s, although Heidi Klum gave the name a jump on the charts between 2005 and 2006 following the successful debut of her show “Project Runway”." }, { "docid": "D482261#0", "title": "https://www.chowhound.com/post/dh-356515\n\"What does \"\"DH\"\" mean?\"", "text": "\"Site Feedback 66What does \"\"DH\"\" mean?bryantuga Jan 3, 2007 04:48 AMI've seen \"\"DH\"\" on several posts, and I surmise that it refers to a significant other or spouse, but what does the acronym stand for?66 Comments Latest Oct 29, 2010 by The Chowhound Teamjanedoe67 Jan 3, 2007 04:51 AMDear Husband6 Replies Clicking the will recommend this comment to others.

Greek lexicons and dictionaries of the New Testament are at their most basic nothing other than the systematic classification of word usage. The “authority” of such lexicons (though rarely considered by most users) is dependent on the knowledge, judgment, accuracy, and precision of the lexicographer. With sufficient effort and training, the individual student can personally construct his own systematic classification of word usage, and thereby provide a “check” on standard lexical pronouncements. This is done (properly) by locating all uses in the New Testament of a given word, examining closely each contextual usage, comparing these with usage outside the literary corpus under investigation, then classifying usages in a systematic fashion. Some attention to etymology (important for word history though having no necessary connection to word meaning) as well as synonyms and antonyms are also of value. Monogenes in the New Testament It is the purpose of this paper to make such an inductive study of the use of the adjective monogenes in the New Testament. This word is found nine times in the New Testament: Luke 7:12; 8:42; 9:38; John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; Hebrews 11:17; I John 4:9. From this simple listing, it is first of all evident that the word is conspicuously absent from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, and though used by Luke in his Gospel, it does not occur in Acts; neither, Paul, Peter, James or Jude ever employs the word, and though John makes more frequent use of the word than all other New Testament authors combined, it is absent from the Apocalypse. Some explanation for the absence of monogenes in the Synoptic Gospels with reference to Jesus, and in Paul’s writings will be offered." }, { "docid": "D2338134#0", "title":

Notice that is not the same to say, “ My love, I love you. ”“I love you my love,” which is the literal translation of “te amo, mi amor” should be used when you are leaving for a long period of time or overnight.

One aspect of the album that’s not generating controversy, though, is the lyrics. And, for the most part, they’re pretty banal—none more so than Jackson’s opening line: “Baby, love never felt so good.” But perhaps this shouldn’t seem so unremarkable. We’ve become accustomed to hearing adults use “baby” as a romantic term of endearment—but can we really ignore the fact that the primary meaning of “baby” is “small human child?”“Certainly the term ‘baby’ is infantilizing,” said Logan Levkoff, the author of several books on sex and relationships. “ A ‘baby’ is an actual thing—there’s an image of something. ”It may be creepy, but we’ve been doing it for a long a time. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was in the seventeenth century that “baby” was first used as a romantic term of endearment.

Those ideas have enabled successive generations to achieve an increasingly comprehensive and reliable understanding of the human species and its environment. The means used to develop these ideas are particular ways of observing, thinking, experimenting, and validating. These ways represent a fundamental aspect of the nature of science and reflect how science tends to differ from other modes of knowing. It is the union of science, mathematics, and technology that forms the scientific endeavor and that makes it so successful. Although each of these human enterprises has a character and history of its own, each is dependent on and reinforces the others. Accordingly, the first three chapters of recommendations draw portraits of science, mathematics, and technology that emphasize their roles in the scientific endeavor and reveal some of the similarities and connections among them. This chapter lays out recommendations for what knowledge of the way science works is requisite for scientific literacy. The chapter focuses on three principal subjects: the scientific world view, scientific methods of inquiry, and the nature of the scientific enterprise. Chapters 2 and 3 consider ways in which mathematics and technology differ from science in general." }, { "docid": "D3417548#0", "title": "http://thebooksmugglers.com/2011/08/book-review-this-dark-endeavor-by-kenneth-oppel.html\nBook Review: This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel", "text": "\"9 Rated Books Book Reviews Book Review: This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel Posted on August 17, 2011Title: This Dark Endeavor: The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein Author: Kenneth Oppel Genre: Speculative Fiction, Horror, Young Adult Publisher: Simon & Schuster Publication date: August 2011 Hardcover: 304 pages Victor and Konrad are the twin brothers Frankenstein.

They believed that man can discover by ratiocination the final causes of cosmic events, the inherent ends the prime mover aims at in creating the universe and determining the course of its evolution. They expatiated on the \"\"Absolute\"\" as if it were their pocket watch. They did not shrink from announcing eternal absolute values and from establishing moral codes unconditionally binding on all men. Then there was the long line of utopian authors. They drafted schemes for an earthly paradise in which pure reason alone should rule. They failed to realize that what they called absolute reason and manifest truth was the fancy of their own minds.

Therefore you often hear the term “without cause” or “without reason” being used during an employee’s termination meeting. How are you able to learn where you went wrong so you can fix it for the next time when the people firing you are not willing to give you any honest feedback? No one really ever gets fired without cause. There’s always reason for letting go of an employee.

Donovan If you have a growing family and are in need of more finished living space, you have two choices; increase the size of your existing home or move to a larger one. Selling your existing home and buying a larger one is typically a very expensive endeavor. Not only will the larger home cost more, but then there are all the costs associated with selling your own home and paying all of the related state property transfer taxes. Then there are the moving costs and utility cancellation and new hook up fees. As a result of all of these costs, many homeowners choose to expand their existing home by either adding a room addition onto their home or building a second floor addition. Deciding on what makes the most sense for your particular needs, in regards to building a second floor addition or building an attached room addition, really depends upon what type of additional living space you’re looking for and what your home and lot can physically support. For example, if you have a small lot, then you may not have the space to add on a room addition to the side or back of your house. As a result, your only solution may be to build a second floor addition onto your home. In general, if you have the land, it is more cost effective to build a room addition onto the side of your home than to build a second story addition on top of it. With any home addition, it is a major construction project." }, { "docid": "D904364#0", "title": "https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/endeavor\nendeavor", "text": "\"1endeavorverb en·deav·or \\ in-ˈde-vər \\Popularity: Top 1% of lookups | Updated on: 4 Apr 2018Trending Now:oligarch glib depose omnibus acrimony ALLTip: Synonym Guide Examples: endeavor in a Sentence Time Traveler!

Starting from a simple set of assumptions, it seeks to explain how states, in particular the most powerful ones, behave, and how they interact with each other on the international arena. Neorealism – or structural realism – is a theory of international politics. The theory is usually associated with Kenneth Waltz (1924–2013) and his 1979 book bearing the obvious name Theory of International Politics. That book endeavored to construct a very general framework for explaining recurring patterns of state behavior and state interaction in the international system. As is the case with all theories, there are many things that Neorealism fails to explain. In fact, most types of state behavior and state interaction cannot usefully be accounted for by Waltz’s parsimonious theory. Thus it is that neoralism has attracted many adversaries in the academic world; much – but by no means all – of the criticism Neorealism faces is really of a straw man character: Neorealism is often faulted for failing to explain or predict events or behavior that Neorealists have never set out to explain or predict in the first place. Every theory claims its own domain. Neorealism’s consists of the biggest issues – past, present, and future – in international relations: war, the avoidance of war, power balancing, power seeking, the death of states, security competition and arms races, alliance formation, and the like." }, { "docid": "D662032#0", "title": "http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/independence_day/stars_and_stripes_forever.html#!\nStars And Stripes Forever lyrics", "text": "\"Independence Day –Stars And Stripes Forever lyrics Post my meaning Write my explanation new New!

Sending humans to Mars remains a phenomenal undertaking by all standards and, as such, presents very real risks and challenges. United States President John F. Kennedy said in his famous Rice Moon speech \"\"We choose to go to the Moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard”. Mars One takes on the challenge of establishing a settlement on Mars with the same frame of mind, knowing all great endeavors, especially space exploration, incorporate risk of lost time, resources, ... and sometimes lives. Venturing to Mars is no exception. The challenge is to identify the risks in every step of the ten year mission, from astronaut selection through training, from launch to living on Mars. Mars One has incorporated into its mission plan a detailed risk analysis protocol, built by highly experienced individuals, some of them with experience at NASA and the ESA.

The Emergence of Profit and Loss In the capitalist system of society's economic organization the entrepreneurs determine the course of production. In the performance of this function they are unconditionally and totally subject to the sovereignty of the buying public, the consumers. If they fail to produce in the cheapest and best possible way those commodities which the consumers are asking for most urgently, they suffer losses and are finally eliminated from their entrepreneurial position. Other men who know better how to serve the consumers replace them. If all people were to anticipate correctly the future state of the market, the entrepreneurs would neither earn any profits nor suffer any losses. They would have to buy the complementary factors of production at prices which would, already at the instant of the purchase, fully reflect the future prices of the products. No room would be left either for profit or for loss. What makes profit emerge is the fact that the entrepreneur who judges the future prices of the products more correctly than other people do buys some or all of the factors of production at prices which, seen from the point of view of the future state of the market, are too low." }, { "docid": "D3553949#0", "title": "https://edsitement.neh.gov/launchpad-henry-david-thoreaus-essay-civil-disobedience\n\"Launchpad: Henry David Thoreau's Essay \"\"Civil Disobedience\"\"\"", "text": "\"Launchpad: Henry David Thoreau's Essay \"\"Civil Disobedience\"\"“Government is at best an expedient” | “Government never of itself furthered any enterprise” | “Why has every man a conscience?” | The right to revolution | “Justice to the slave and to Mexico: Reform and its Opponents” | Unjust Laws | “Break the law” | “The true place for a just man is also a prison” | “Quietly declare war with the State” | “A really free and enlightened State”Thoreau is much better known as the author of Walden and other nature writings than as a political writer. In fact as this this passage from his essay “ Walking ” (1862) shows, his attitude toward politics was very different from his appreciation of the natural world:“Man and his affairs, church and state—and school, trade and commerce, and manufactures and agriculture—even politics, the most alarming of them all—I am pleased to see how little space they occupy in the landscape. Politics is but a narrow field, and that still narrower highway yonder leads to it. I sometimes direct the traveler thither. If you would go to the political world, follow the great road—follow that market man, keep his dust in your eyes, and it will lead you straight to it—for it too has its place merely, and does not occupy all space. I pass from it as from a bean field into the forest, and it is forgotten. In one half hour I can walk off to some portion of the earth’s surface where a man does not stand from one year’s end to another and there consequently politics are not, for they are but as the cigar smoke of a man. ”How would you characterize Thoreau’s attitude toward politics, toward nature?

Today i will be looking at the pokemon that embodies \"\"Strength in numbers\"\" - Wishiwashi. This pokemon is insanely powerful, having 140 Attack and Special Attack, 130 Defense, and 135 Special Defense, the only problem is, one it's health gets past 25%, he becomes a frail tiny little single pokemon. Being able to maximize his time in \"\"School form\"\" is a major part of Wishiwashi's style, lets see if I can make him work. P. S. Please keep in mind, VGC17 is in its earliest stages, so these sets are just for everyone to get a grasp on competitive until the metagame starts to settle out, after that we will go back to these sets and make the proper changes.

Protect is nessesary to obviously protect yourself from an attack that would be detrimental, and keeping Wishiwashi over the 25% health mark for another turn. Another move depending on Wishiwashi's HP is Endeavor, in troubling times when Wishiwashi's health is low, using Endeavor allows you to bring you're opponents health down to equal yours." }, { "docid": "D1439627#0", "title": "https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-remnant.html\nWhat does the Bible mean when it refers to a remnant?", "text": "\"What does the Bible mean when it refers to a remnant? Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What does the Bible mean when it refers to a remnant?\"\" Answer: A remnant is a left-over amount from a larger portion or piece, whether it is food, material from which a garment is fashioned, or even a group of people. Although remnants could be looked upon as worthless scraps, and many times are, God assigned high value to those of His people whom He had set aside for holy purposes, those He labels as “remnants” in several places in the Bible. To begin, in Isaiah 10 the story is told of the Lord’s judgment upon the Assyrians. In verse 12 God says, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes.” He continues in verses 17-18: “The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briars. The splendor of his forests and fertile fields I will completely destroy, as when a sick man wastes away.” God then relates how His people will turn back to Him as a result of this tremendous display of His strength—His utter destruction of most of Assyria: “In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God” ( Isaiah 10: 20, 21 )." }, { "docid": "D3270618#0", "title": "https://www.names.org/n/endeavor/about\nEndeavor", "text": "\"Names.orgpopular this year lists Your Searches: <100 Endeavor Embed Endeavor Classmate Finder Free Horoscope Add Origin and Meaning Gender: Unknown First Name <100in the U.

This biodiversity hotspot is known for being the home of the Sierran giant sequoia tree and its close relative the coast redwood. [ 1] In 1996, the Province was designated as a biodiversity hotspot allowing it to join ranks among 33 other areas in the world with a large number of endemic species. To be named a biodiversity hotspot, an area has to contain species and plant life that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The California Floristic Province is home to over 3,000 species of vascular plants, 60% of which are endemic to the province. [ 2]The California Floristic Province belongs to the Madrean Region of the Holarctic (or Boreal) Floristic Kingdom. As part of the Madrean Region, it is bordered on its east by the Great Basin Floristic Province, and to the south and southwest by the Sonoran Province (which includes the Mojave, Colorado, Sonoran, and Baja California Deserts ). To the north, the region is bordered by the Vancouverian Province of the Rocky Mountain Region, and much of coastal and mountain Northern California and southwestern Oregon are defined as falling into either province depending on a given author's delimitations.

Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). What are the signs and symptoms of hepatitis A? Illness caused by HAV infection typically has an abrupt onset that can include fever, malaise, anorexia, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and jaundice. The likelihood of having symptoms with HAV infection is related to age. In children younger than age 6 years, 70% of infections are asymptomatic. When illness does occur in young children, it is typically not accompanied by jaundice. In older children and adults, infection typically is symptomatic, with jaundice occurring in more than 70% of patients. Hepatitis A signs and symptoms usually last less than 2 months, although 10% to 15% of symptomatic people have prolonged illness (usually referred to as relapsing hepatitis A) lasting up to 6 months.

Between 5 and 10 percent of infected persons display only the general symptoms outlined above, and more than 90 percent show no signs of illness at all. For those infected by the poliovirus, there is no cure, and in the mid-20th century hundreds of thousands of children were struck by the disease every year. Since the 1960s, thanks to widespread use of polio vaccines, polio has been eliminated from most of the world. It is now endemic in only three countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria.

When we write about salmonella or influenza (or flu for short), diabetes or rabies, we don’t crown the names of these deadly scourges with capital initial letters. Why does Ebola get special treatment? The AP Stylebook explains it simply: “Capitalize a disease known by name of person or geographical area: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Ebola virus.” Ebola was named after a tributary of the Congo River in Zaire (now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo), near which the virus was first identified, so it can claim its status as a proper name for life. And how should we pronounce the name of this awful virus? According to NPR’s standards and practices editor, Mark Memmott, as posted on NPR’s Tumblr , it should be “ee-BOH-luh” (rather than “eh-BOH-la”).

This places a premium on priorities: how can we support the most species at the least cost? One way is to identify ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat. As many as 44% of all species of vascular plants and 35% of all species in four vertebrate groups are confined to 25 hotspots comprising only 1.4% of the land surface of the Earth. This opens the way for a ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on these hotspots in proportion to their share of the world's species at risk. Main The number of species threatened with extinction far outstrips available conservation resources, and the situation looks set to become rapidly worse 1, 2, 3, 4. This places a premium on identifying priorities. How can we protect the most species per dollar invested? This key question is at the forefront of conservation planning, and forms the focus of this article. By concentrating on areas where there is greatest need and where the payoff from safeguard measures would also be greatest, conservationists can engage in a systematic response to the challenge of large-scale extinctions ahead." }, { "docid": "D186524#0", "title": "https://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/outreach/Pet-Health-Topics/categories/diseases/your-pet-and-lyme-disease\nYour Pet and Lyme Disease", "text": "Your Pet and Lyme Disease This information is not meant to be a substitute for veterinary care.

In the United States, Lyme disease occurs predominantly on the Pacific coast and in the Midwest, and Atlantic coast states. Regions in which the disease occurs commonly are called endemic regions.

This resource is part of the Innovative Funding Services (IFS) auto finance Library. Learn How Car Loan Interest Affects How Much You Pay for Your Car When you take on a car loan to buy a car, your lender purchases the car for you and allows you to pay it back over a period of years. Essentially, the lender gives you the service of using its money, and in exchange, you compensate the lender for its services by paying interest. Most car loans use simple interest, a type of interest of which the interest charge is calculated only on the principal (i.e. the amount owed on the loan). Simple interest does not compound on interest, which generally saves a borrower money. However, simple interest does not mean that every time you make a payment on your loan that you pay equal amounts of interest and principal. Instead, car loans are paid down via amortization, meaning you pay more interest at the beginning of your car loan than at the end. How and when do I pay interest?

If the minimum daily balance requirement is not met, a dividend is not earned for that day. The formula is the dividend rate divided by 365 days. The average daily balance is calculated by adding each day-end balance in the dividend period together and dividing by the number of days in the dividend period. If the account does not meet the average daily balance requirement for the dividend period, dividends are not earned for that period.

Starting from a simple set of assumptions, it seeks to explain how states, in particular the most powerful ones, behave, and how they interact with each other on the international arena. Neorealism – or structural realism – is a theory of international politics. The theory is usually associated with Kenneth Waltz (1924–2013) and his 1979 book bearing the obvious name Theory of International Politics. That book endeavored to construct a very general framework for explaining recurring patterns of state behavior and state interaction in the international system. As is the case with all theories, there are many things that Neorealism fails to explain. In fact, most types of state behavior and state interaction cannot usefully be accounted for by Waltz’s parsimonious theory. Thus it is that neoralism has attracted many adversaries in the academic world; much – but by no means all – of the criticism Neorealism faces is really of a straw man character: Neorealism is often faulted for failing to explain or predict events or behavior that Neorealists have never set out to explain or predict in the first place. Every theory claims its own domain.

What Does Accounting Closing Process Mean? The closing process consists of three main steps: Identify temporary accounts that need to be closed. Record closing entries. Prepare the post closing trial balance. Since income statement accounts record current year activity, they must be zeroed out or closed at the end of each accounting period. This way they will have a zero balance for the start of the next accounting period and only current balances will exist in these accounts. In order to achieve this, closing entries must be made to transfer the ending income statement balances to balance sheet accounts.

Related to Heart valve disease: mitral valve prolapse Valvular Heart Disease Definition Valvular heart disease refers to several disorders and diseases of the heart valves, which are thetissue flaps that regulate the flow of blood through the chambers of the heart. Description The human heart consists of four chambers—two upper chambers (the atria) and two lowerchambers (the ventricles) that are responsible for pumping blood. The heart valves are like one-way doors, which open and close with each beat of the heart, controlling the blood flow from onechamber to the next. Each of these valves is made up of a few thin folds of tissue. Whenfunctioning correctly, they keep blood from flowing backward into a chamber when closed. The four valves function in the following manner: The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It is the only valve withtwo flaps, or cusps. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and rightventricle. It is made up of three cusps, each a different size." }, { "docid": "D3559020#0", "title": "https://www.childrenscardiomyopathy.org/site/description.php\n.", "text": "\"ABOUT THE DISEASEWHAT'S CARDIOMYOPATHYCardiomyopathy is a chronic and sometimes progressive disease in which the heart muscle (myocardium), is abnormally enlarged, thickened and/or stiffened. The condition typically begins in the walls of the heart's lower chambers (ventricles), and in more severe cases also affects the walls of the upper chambers (atria). The actual muscle cells as well as the surrounding tissues of the heart become damaged. Eventually, the weakened heart loses the ability to pump blood effectively and heart failure or irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias or dysrhythmia) may occur. Cardiomyopathy is classified as either \"\"ischemic\"\" or \"\"nonischemic\"\". All cases related to children and teenagers are considered \"\"nonischemic\"\" cardiomyopathy. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy predominately involves the heart's abnormal structure and function. It does not involve the hardening of arteries on the heart surface typically associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Nonischemic cardiomyopathy can then be broken down into: 1) \"\"primary cardiomyopathy\"\" where the heart is predominately affected and the cause may be due to infectious agents or genetic disorders and 2) \"\"secondary cardiomyopathy\"\" where the heart is affected due to complications from another disease affecting the body (i.e. HIV, cancer, muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis).

Overview Endocarditis is a rare and potentially fatal infection of the inner lining of the heart (the endocardium). It's most commonly caused by bacteria entering the blood and travelling to the heart. Although the heart is usually well protected against infection, it may be easier for bacteria to bypass the immune system in people who have:a prosthetic (artificial) heart valve – valve replacement surgery is increasingly being used when people experience narrowing of one of their heart valvescongenital heart disease – where a person is born with heart defectshypertrophic cardiomyopathy – where the heart muscle cells have enlarged and the walls of the heart chambers thickendamaged heart valves – because of infection or heart disease People who inject drugs are also more likely to develop endocarditis.

Symptoms of endocarditis The initial symptoms of endocarditis are similar to the flu and include:a high temperature (fever) of 38C (101.4F) or abovechillsheadachejoint and muscle pain Without treatment, the infection damages the valves of the heart and disrupts the normal flow of blood through the heart.

Bacteremia is the medical condition involving the presence of foreign micro-organisms called bacteria in the usually sterile environment of the blood. Bacteremia is otherwise known as “blood poisoning” in layman’s terms, although the expression can be misleading as the condition does not at all involve the contamination of the blood with toxic substances, but with bacterial infestation. Bacteremia can occur through a number of ways. The entry of bacteria into the bloodstream can be facilitated through a preceding bacterial infection that may complicate progressively, allowing the micro-organisms to reach the blood vessels and proliferate while remaining in the patient’s blood. Bacteremia may also occur as an unintentional complication of surgery, a consequence which is highly possible if the surgical procedure is not performed with sterile instruments or within a sterile environment. Bacteria can also opportunistically take advantage of other means to enter into a person’s system, such as through catheters used for medical purposes as well as through intravenous insertions like parenteral drug administration. The condition is one that should not be taken lightly as it can quickly become a seriously life-threatening situation, especially if the bacteria are able to move and reproduce quickly enough to migrate to other parts of the body and overwhelm the system with its numbers, causing systemic affectation and leading to debilitating consequences.

While not very common, this can be a very serious disease. Men are twice as likely to be affected as women. There are two types of endocarditis: infective and non-infective. With prompt treatment, the majority of people with infective endocarditis will survive. Non-infective endocarditis is more difficult to treat. Causes Some people are more likely than others to develop endocarditis.

The condition is a result of bacteremia, which is most commonly caused by dental procedures, surgery, distant primary infections, and nonsterile injections. IE clinically presents with either an acute or subacute course. Acute disease is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus and causes rapid endocardium destruction. Subacute progression is most commonly caused by viridans streptococci species and generally affects individuals with pre-existing damage to the heart valves, structural heart defects, or the presence of prosthetic valves. Unlike acute disease, in which patients develop symptoms over a period of hours to days, subacute disease is associated with a progression of symptoms over weeks to months. Clinical features include constitutional symptoms (fatigue, fever /chills, malaise) in combination with signs of pathological cardiac changes (e.g., new or changed heart murmur, heart failure signs) and possibly manifestations of subsequent damage to other organs (e.g., glomerulonephritis, septic embolic stroke ). Diagnosis is made based on the Duke criteria, whose main features include positive blood cultures and evidence of endocardial involvement in echocardiography. Initial treatment of IE consists of empiric IV antibiotic therapy, which is than adapted to blood culture results and continued for four to six weeks. Prophylaxis is only administered in specific circumstances, e.g., in patients with preexisting heart conditions undergoing dental or surgical procedures." }, { "docid": "D1892663#0", "title": "http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/191799.php\nQ fever: Causes, risks, and treatments", "text": "Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Log in Newsletter MNT - Hourly Medical News Since 2003Search Login Q fever: Causes, risks, and treatments Last reviewed Sun 16 April 2017By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by University of Illinois-Chicago, School of Medicine Q fever, or query fever, is an uncommon bacterial infection transmitted from animals to humans.

If left untreated, endocarditis can cause other complications, such as a blood clot (embolism), an irregular heartbeat ( arrhythmia ), valve damage or destruction, and, in time, congestive heart failure (CHF). What causes infective endocarditis? The infection that leads to endocarditis can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms that enter your bloodstream. ( You may have heard the term bacterial endocarditis , subacute bacterial endocarditis, or SBE. These terms are used for endocarditis caused only by bacteria—usually group A strep—and not by other microorganisms. ) Normally, microorganisms live on your skin, in your mouth, in your intestines, and in your urinary tract, but not in your blood. Sometimes, however, microorganisms can enter your bloodstream (for example, during a surgical or dental procedure). For most people, microorganisms in the bloodstream do not pose a problem.

More rarely, the bacteria that cause brucellosis can spread through the air or through direct contact with infected animals. Brucellosis symptoms may include fever, joint pain and fatigue. The infection can usually be treated successfully with antibiotics. Treatment takes several weeks to months, however, and relapses are common. While brucellosis is uncommon in the United States, the disease affects hundreds of thousands of people and animals worldwide. Avoiding unpasteurized dairy products and taking precautions when working with animals or in a laboratory can help prevent brucellosis. Symptoms Symptoms of brucellosis may show up anytime from a few days to a few months after you're infected. Signs and symptoms are similar to those of the flu and include: Fever Chills Loss of appetite Sweats Weakness Fatigue Joint, muscle and back pain Headache Brucellosis symptoms may disappear for weeks or months and then return.

Patients are referred to the endocrinologist when the general practitioner detects a problem in the glandular system. As such, the typical day-at-work for the endocrinologist involves examining and making diagnoses for illnesses in the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal and hypothalamus glands. Typically, they are experts in diagnosing and treating diseases of the thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, testes and ovaries. Other than specific organs, endocrinologists also treat diseases and conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol imbalances, osteoporosis, infertility and cancers of the endocrine glands. Endocrinologist Job Responsibilities Endocrinologists examine patients for disorders in the glandular system. They usually go through the referring physician’s notes as well as test results for clues and patterns. They may then order for additional tests with the aim of demystifying a patient’s condition or illness. In their examination, they look for signs and symptoms which may give away the illness.

In people without diabetes, the pancreas makes and releases small amounts of insulin throughout the day and night. This is called the basal insulin. The pancreas also releases a short burst of insulin when people without diabetes eat and their blood glucose begins to rise. This is called a bolus of insulin. Long-acting insulins are basal insulins. Rapid-acting and regular insulins are bolus insulins. Intermediate-acting insulin may provide both basal and some bolus effect or, if taken at bedtime, provide mostly a basal effect. Most people with diabetes take both basal and bolus insulin.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disorder of the parathyroid glands, also called parathyroids. “ Primary” means this disorder originates in the parathyroid glands. In primary hyperparathyroidism, one or more of the parathyroid glands are overactive. As a result, the gland releases too much parathyroid hormone (PTH). The disorder includes the problems that occur in the rest of the body as a result of too much PTH—for example, loss of calcium from bones. In the United States, about 100,000 people develop primary hyperparathyroidism each year. 1 The disorder is diagnosed most often in people between age 50 and 60, and women are affected about three times as often as men. 2Secondary, or reactive, hyperparathyroidism can occur if a problem such as kidney failure causes the parathyroid glands to be overactive.

Insulin resistance itself increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and most physicians now consider pre-diabetes to be a serious condition, not only because of the likely progression to diabetes but also because heart disease risk is higher in people with blood sugars in the pre-diabetic range than in those with normal blood sugar levels. Many physicians and diabetes researchers think it's appropriate to treat people with pre-diabetes with metformin, and some even advocate the use of metformin in a person with abdominal obesity, even if he or she has normal blood sugar levels." }, { "docid": "D2388756#0", "title": "http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/n/nephropathy/intro.htm\nNephropathy", "text": "\"Nephropathy Intro Symptoms Types Causes Tests Treatment Misdiagnosis Videos Doctors Must Reads in Health Protecting Your Skin During Winter Watch: My Personal Psoriasis Journey Are You Getting The Best Cancer Care?

Most patients begin their journey to the endocrinologist with a trip to their primary care provider or family doctor.

It is also concerned with the integration of developmental events proliferation, growth, and differentiation, and the psychological or behavioral activities of metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sleep, digestion, respiration, excretion, mood, stress, lactation, movement, reproduction, and sensory perception caused by hormones. Specializations include behavioral endocrinology [1] [2] [3] and comparative endocrinology. The endocrine system consists of several glands, all in different parts of the body, that secrete hormones directly into the blood rather than into a duct system. Hormones have many different functions and modes of action; one hormone may have several effects on different target organs, and, conversely, one target organ may be affected by more than one hormone.

The number and variety of cells within every person is tremendous. Fortunately, the Herculean task of visualizing the complexity of the very cells of which we are made is greatly simplified when you realize that many cells, despite their dramatic differences in structure and function, are really more alike than not: they are variations on a theme. And what is that theme? Simply this: cells are designed to generate order out of chaos. We are surrounded by chaos.

The ER contains a great amount of folds - but the membrane forms a single sheet enclosing a single closed sac. This internal space is called the ER lumen. The ER is additionally responsible for moving proteins and other carbohydrates to the Golgi apparatus, to the plasma membrane, to the lysosomes, or wherever else needed.

Endoplasmic reticulum is one of the very important structures in a cell, and there are two major types of it known as smooth and rough. Endoplasmic reticulum is often abbreviated as ER; hence, smooth type is denoted as SER and the rough type is symbolized as RER. There are interesting differences in structures and functions between these two types and, this article summarizes most of those. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is named because of its smooth surface. The surface is smooth because there are no ribosomes. The structure of SER is a branching network of tubules and vesicles. These networks structures are important to facilitate newly synthesized proteins to be folded correctly. In addition, it contributes to maintain the volume of a cell at a certain level.

Embedded in the membrane of the structure are ribosomes, this is what gives the \"\"rough\"\" appearance. RNA passes through the ribosomes where its sequence of nucleic acid codes for specific amino acids to be joined up in a specific order. The route through the ribosomes for the amino acid takes them into the membranes of the reticulum where they can be kept together. They are then moved of in vesicles formed from the ER membranes to the Golgi Apparatus to be packaged and processed. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis.

Calcium is involved in many cellular activities because it interacts with proteins, helping them do their jobs. Knowing how calcium release affects activities such as muscle contraction and cell death will help you understand why the release must be controlled. The endoplasmic reticulum has calcium channels on its surface that regulate the outflow of calcium ions. These channels can be opened by electrical signals or activating molecules. No matter what method is used to open these channels, the method must be tightly controlled by the cell because calcium does so many things once released. Flex Your Muscles The cells in your skeletal muscle contain large amounts of endoplasmic reticulum, which in this type of muscle is called sarcoplasmic reticulum. The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores large amounts of calcium because calcium, when released, aids in muscle contraction. Skeletal muscles release calcium and contract when they receive signals from neurons, or nerve cells, that control muscle movement.

A sustainable material, or a sustainable resource is something whose production is supported indefinitely by nature. It is not always the same as a renewable resource. For example, cashmere wool is produced by goats and is a renewable resource. We can always get more as it grows on goats. But it is not sustainable.

The first section also presents neural and mechanical (length-tension-angle relationships, force-velocity relationships, elasticity-force relationships, and architectural design) factors that influence force development. The second portion of the chapter deals with muscular fatigue, including the most likely causes of fatigue to various categories of activity, and muscle soreness. Methods of assessing muscular strength are presented in the third section of the chapter. The influence of age and sex on muscular function is detailed in the fourth portion of the chapter. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the role of genetics in determining an individual ’s strength or response to a strength training program. Exercise - The Result of Contraction Tension vs Load Classification of Muscle Contractions Isotonic Contraction - A muscle fiber contraction in which the tension generated by the muscle fiber is constant through the range of motion Dynamic Contraction - A muscle contraction in which the force exerted varies as the muscle shortens to accommodate change in muscle length and/or joint angle throughout the range of motion while moving a constant external load Isokinetic Contraction - A muscle fiber contraction in which the velocity of the contraction is kept constant Isokinematic Contraction - A muscle contraction in which the rate of limb displacement or joint rotation is held constant with the use of specialized equipment Isometric Contraction - A muscle fiber contraction that does not result in a length change in muscle fiber Static Contraction - A muscle contraction that produces an increase in muscle tension but does not cause meaningful limb displacement or joint displacement and therefore does not result in movement of the skeleton Force Development and Gradation of Response Neural activation Rate-coding Number coding (recruitment)Mechanical Factorsa.

Soon after his release, Frankl recorded his experiences in his book, “Man’s search for meaning.” He wanted to show that life had meaning under any circumstances. Although many of his fellow prisoners died in the camps, Frankl survived. Apart from luck, the reason for his survival was the inner strength he derived from his meaning in life.

When properly dosed, Beta-alanine is one of the few proven, highly effective supplements in the world of bodybuilding – right there besides Creatine and Citrulline Malate. Why We Take Beta Alanine Beta alanine has become the supplement that it is today because of its relationship to carnosine. In the body, carnosine is utilized as a lactic acid buffer, enzyme regulator, and even free-radical fighter. For a bodybuilder or athlete, increased carnosine levels means more endurance, and greater power during times where performance would suffer due to muscle fatigue. Beta Alanine Vs Carnosine As you can see, carnosine is great for athletes. But, there is a problem. We can’t simply take carnosine, as a large amount is degraded in the body by carnosinases long before carnosine can enter our muscles.

What Does It Mean to Endure? - Job 8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure. See All... INTRODUCTIONThis passage will help as we seek a definition for the word endure. It speaks of the hypocrite, and can be best understood by dividing it into four parts: 1) He shall lean upon his house, 2) but it shall not stand: 3) he shall hold it fast, 4) but it shall not endure. The first and third sections go together, and the second and fourth sections go together. The hypocrite leaning upon his house is the same as him holding it fast, and the fact that it does not stand means it does not endure. The word endure is also used as an antonym (opposite) for the word perish in Psalm 102:26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: See All....

Subscribe to our Question of the Week: Question: \"\"What does the Bible say about patience?\"\" Answer: When everything is going our way, patience is easy to demonstrate. The true test of patience comes when our rights are violated—when another car cuts us off in traffic; when we are treated unfairly; when our coworker derides our faith, again. Some people think they have a right to get upset in the face of irritations and trials. Impatience seems like a holy anger. The Bible, however, praises patience as a fruit of the Spirit ( Galatians 5:22) which should be produced for all followers of Christ ( 1 Thessalonians 5:14 ). Patience reveals our faith in God’s timing, omnipotence, and love. Although most people consider patience to be a passive waiting or gentle tolerance, most of the Greek words translated “patience” in the New Testament are active, robust words. Consider, for example, Hebrews 12:1: “Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (NKJV)." }, { "docid": "D1934282#0", "title": "http://top10supplements.com/best-supplements-for-endurance-and-stamina/\nBest Supplements for Endurance to Consider", "text": "Best Supplements for Endurance to Consider Share 3 Tweet Pin 3 +1 3440When it comes to health and fitness, our efforts are often focused on building strength, hitting our best time, or reaching our goal weight.

Clouds affect the climate but changes in the climate, in turn, affect the clouds. This relationship creates a complicated system of climate feedbacks , in which clouds modulate Earth's radiation and water balances. Clouds cool Earth's surface by reflecting incoming sunlight. Clouds warm Earth's surface by absorbing heat emitted from the surface and re-radiating it back down toward the surface. Clouds warm or cool Earth's atmosphere by absorbing heat emitted from the surface and radiating it to space. Clouds warm and dry Earth's atmosphere and supply water to the surface by forming precipitation. Clouds are themselves created by the motions of the atmosphere that are caused by the warming or cooling of radiation and precipitation. If the climate should change, then clouds would also change, altering all of the effects listed above.

Since the emission and absorption properties do not depend on the arrangments, these properties will hold also when there is no equilibrium. A sample of matter at temperature T in space will cool gradually to 0K if there is no radiation present to absorb. The emissivity e of a surface is the energy radiated per unit area per unit time, with units W/m 2. It is usually assumed that the radiation is Lambertian, or diffuse. The absorptivity a of a surface is the fraction of incident radiation absorbed by the surface, also assumed to be Lambertian. The assumption of diffuse emission and absorption is not fundamental; it just makes the discussion simpler. Both e and a may be functions of the frequency or wavelength of the radiation.

Sunlight shining through clouds, giving rise to crepuscular rays Photograph called Sunlight (1930s)Sunlight is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun, in particular infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light. On Earth, sunlight is filtered through Earth's atmosphere, and is obvious as daylight when the Sun is above the horizon. When the direct solar radiation is not blocked by clouds, it is experienced as sunshine, a combination of bright light and radiant heat. When it is blocked by clouds or reflects off other objects, it is experienced as diffused light. The World Meteorological Organization uses the term \"\" sunshine duration \"\" to mean the cumulative time during which an area receives direct irradiance from the Sun of at least 120 watts per square meter.

Begin by reviewing an animation that illustrates the effect of inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation. Inclination denotes the change in the tilt of the Earth's spin axis relative to the plane in which it orbits the Sun (the ecliptic plane). The atmosphere serves to distribute the energy of solar radiation received by the Earth. Most of the radiant energy is converted into atmospheric heat energy before it is radiated back into space. Winds redistribute this energy, dissipating more of it in the process than by all other forces combined. Both the short-term fluctuations of the atmospheric system (the weather) and the longer-term fluctuations of average weather (the climate) are an important part of the history of the Earth. The atmosphere is relatively transparent to the incoming visible rays of the sun. Much of this radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and re-emitted as invisible heat rays. Just as a hot pavement radiates heat as it is warmed by the sun, the Earth's surface radiates heat back to the atmosphere." }, { "docid": "D611259#0", "title": "http://www.mpoweruk.com/radio.htm\nBattery and Energy Technologies", "text": "\"Battery and Energy Technologies Contacts Feedback / Comments Contact Us Privacy Promise Home Page About Us About Sponsors Home Page Electropaedia Search Engine Site Map Battery Glossary Conversion Table Frequently Asked Questions Home Page Themes and Characters Theory and Explanations Images and Diagrams Wireless Wonders History of Technology (Details)Timeline of Technology Timeline of the Elements Hall of Fame Gyroscopes and Navigation Ballistics and Aerodynamics Aerodynamics and the Theory of Flight The V2 Rocket (Ballistic Missile)The V1 Missile (Cruise Missile)Communications Satellites Steam Turbines Gas Turbine Power Piston Engine Power Stirling Engine Power Rockets AC Motors DC Motors Brushless DC & Reluctance Motors Special Purpose Motors Motor Controls Generators Electric Machines (Fundamentals)Heat Engines Semiconductor Primer Graphene Boolean Logic and Digital Circuits Enigma's Cryptic Secrets Computer Architecture Electromagnetic Radiation Rocket Science Apollo Moon Shot Satellite Technologies Horology - It's About Time Engineering Harmony EV Battery Charging Infrastructure Benefits of Custom Packs Battery Protection Methods Shocking Batteries User Safety Instructions Shipping Regulations Material Safety Data Sheet Battery Recycling Thermal Management State of Charge (SOC)State of Health (SOH)Cell Balancing Authentication and Identification System Communications Demand Management Lithium Cell Failures Battery Reliability & Warranty Graetzel cell Fuel Cell Comparison Chart Redox Batteries Water Activated Batteries Thermal Batteries Thermal Batteries Primary Cells Secondary Cells High Power Batteries Traction Batteries Low Power Batteries High Temperature Batteries Liquid Metal Batteries Reserve Batteries Flow Batteries Fuel Cells Solar Cells Capacitors & Supercapacitors AC Batteries Alternative Energy Storage Homebrew Battery Alkaline Cells Lead Acid Batteries Leclanche Cells Nickel Cadmium Nickel Hydrogen Nickel Iron (Ni Fe)Nickel Metal Hydride Nickel Zinc Lithium (Primary)Lithium (Secondary)Redox Batteries Silver Oxide Zebra Batteries Zinc Air Other Chemistries Battery Comparison Chart Cell Chemistry Battery Types Performance Characteristics Battery Life (and Death)Why Batteries Fail Battery Management Systems Battery Safety Battery Testing Battery Storage Cell Construction New Cell Designs & Chemistries Battery Manufacturing Battery Pack Design Uninterruptible Power Supplies Battery Chargers Grid Scale Energy Storage ESSBattery Applications V2G Energy Transfer Software Cofigurable Battery Buying Batteries in China Going Solar Nuclear Power - The Theory Energy from Coal?

Sc., Ph. D., Digital Recordings Copyright 1992-2014, Digital Recordings, All Rights Reserved PDF version (34 k B)Abstract Darwin's Theory of Evolution [4,5,7] explains how and why life evolved [9,10]. However, some aspects of this theory are still not clear [4,5,7,8,12,14,15]. According to Darwin, natural selection allows the strongest and most fit species to survive in a particular environment [9,10]. What remains to be answered is how these complex systems (organisms) were first formed and how they maintain their presence on Earth. It is obvious that the entropy of the Biosphere is decreasing continuously (at least it was before the industrial revolution and deforestation). This means that the matter involved in the formation of the Biosphere is getting more and more organized (less random). It was pointed out by many that life seems to defy the II Law of Thermodynamics, which states, that entropy of any system should be increasing [4-7]. Several attempts were made to explain this striking phenomenon on the basis of the \"\"Theory of Complexity\"\", which suggest, that there are undiscovered laws of nature which are responsible for \"\"Self- Organization\"\" of organisms and the Biosphere [4-7]. This paper explains the principles responsible for the formation and maintenance of life on Earth and shows that there is no violation of the II Law of Thermodynamics in the case of organisms and the Biosphere.

This seems like a paradox which contradicts the II Law of Thermodynamics, which states, that the entropy of a system tends to get higher as time progresses because disorganization increases. Fig.1.

The climate of a locale defines what crops can be cultivated, the supply of fresh water, and the average heating and cooling requirements for homes. Define weather and explain why a place and time must be specified when describing the weather. Weather: the state of the atmosphere at some place and time, described in terms such as temperature, humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, and wind speed and direction. A place and time must be specified when describing the weather because the atmosphere is dynamic, causing weather to vary with time and location. How does the empirical definition of climate differ from the dynamic definition of climate? The empirical definition is based on statistics and describes climate, while the dynamic definition incorporates the forces that govern climate and seeks to explain it. Define what is meant by the climatic norm The climatic norm is traditionally thought of as the average value of a climatic element. It encompasses the total variation in the climate record by including the averages and extremes How does the operational weather observing network compare with the cooperative observer network in terms of types of data collected?

However, applications such as power supplies, dynamic brakes, power conversion, amplifiers, and heaters often demand high power resistors. Generally high power resistors are resistors that are rated for 1 watt or greater loads and are available in to the kilowatt range. Power Resistor Basics The power rating of a resistor defines how much power a resistor can safely handle before the resistor begins to suffer permanent damage. The power dissipated by a resistor can be found easily using Joule's first law, Power = Voltage x Current^2. The power dissipated by the resistor is converted to heat and increases the temperature of the resistor. The temperature of a resistor will keep climbing until it reaches a point where the heat dissipated through the air, circuit board, and surrounding environment balances the heat generated. Keeping the temperature of a resistor low will avoid damage to the resistor and let it handle greater currents without degradation or damage. Operating a power resistor above its rated power and temperature can result in severe consequences including a shift in resistance value, reduction in operating lifetime, open circuit, or temperatures so high that the resistor can catch on fire or catch surrounding materials on fire. To avoid these failure modes, power resistors are often derated based on expected operating conditions." }, { "docid": "D3217376#0", "title": "http://ecmweb.com/contractor/ensuring-generator-and-ups-compatibility\nEnsuring Generator and UPS Compatibility", "text": "Construction Ensuring Generator and UPS Compatibility With the certainty of grid-supplied power diminishing, as powerfully shown by the August 14 blackout, power quality is more critical than ever.

In this article, we will briefly explain the theoretical background of derating and how it is applied. Derating increases the margin of safety between part design limits and applied stresses, thereby providing extra protection for the part. By applying derating in an electrical or electronic component, its degradation rate is reduced. The reliability and life expectancy are improved. Intuitively, if a component or system is operated under its design limit, it will be more reliable than if it is operated at or above the design limit. Theoretically, the benefit of derating can be explained using load-strength interference theory. Load-Strength Interference Usually, failure happens when the applied load exceeds the strength. Load and strength should be considered in a general way.

This oxide layer acts as the dielectric of the capacitor. A solid, liquid, or gel electrolyte covers the surface of this oxide layer, serving as the ( cathode) or negative plate of the capacitor. Due to their very thin dielectric oxide layer and enlarged anode surface, electrolytic capacitors have a much higher capacitance - voltage (CV) product per unit volume compared to ceramic capacitors or film capacitors, and so can have large capacitance values. There are three families of electrolytic capacitor: aluminum electrolytic capacitors, tantalum electrolytic capacitors, and niobium electrolytic capacitors. The large capacitance of electrolytic capacitors makes them particularly suitable for passing or bypassing low-frequency signals, and for storing large amounts of energy. They are widely used for decoupling or noise filtering in power supplies and DC link circuits for variable-frequency drives, for coupling signals between amplifier stages, and storing energy as in a flashlamp. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized components due to their asymmetrical construction, and must be operated with a higher voltage (ie, more positive) on the anode than on the cathode at all times. For this reason the anode terminal is marked with a plus sign and the cathode with a minus sign. In addition they can only tolerate low applied voltages." }, { "docid": "D83399#0", "title": "http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r14105611-What-does-the-VA-mean-when-looking-at-UPS-s\nPC Hardware â What does the VA mean when looking at UPS's?", "text": "\"clevere1Premium Member join:2002-01-06 Vancouver, WA1 edit What does the VA mean when looking at UPS's?

The LED dimmer keeps the bulb nearer to the correct brightness.

Flight test data demonstrate that blended winglets lower block fuel and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions by up to 4 percent on the 737 and up to 5 percent on the 757 and 767. Blended winglets also improve takeoff performance on the 737, 757, and 767, allowing deeper takeoff thrust derates that result in lower emissions and lower community noise. By William Freitag, Winglet Program Manager, Commercial Aviation Services; and E. Terry Schulze, Manager, Aerodynamics Blended winglets are a proven way to reduce drag, save fuel, cut CO 2 and NOx emissions, and reduce community noise. Boeing offers blended winglets as standard equipment on the BBJ and as optional equipment on the 737-700, -800, and -900 Extended Range (ER). Blended winglets also are available as a retrofit installation from Aviation Partners Boeing for the 737-300/-500/-700/-800/-900, 757-200/-300, and 767-300ER (both passenger and freighter variants) commercial airplanes. More than 2,850 Boeing airplanes have been equipped with blended winglets. The carbon-fiber composite winglets allow an airplane to save on fuel and thereby reduce emissions.

The five-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage -- once touted by former GM CEO Rick Wagoner as a symbol of the improved quality of GM's vehicles -- will be reduced to five years/60,000 miles for '16 models. The brands will continue to offer courtesy transportation and roadside assistance during the coverage period. The five-year/60,000-mile coverage matches that of many of GM's largest competitors, including Ford, Toyota and Honda. Hyundai and Kia offer a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain coverage, which the Korean brands bill as \"\"America's Best Warranty. \"\" GM also will scale back its offer of two years of free maintenance, including oil changes and tire rotations, on most new Chevy, GMC and Buick vehicles. The brands, which began the free-maintenance deal for model year 2014, will reduce the number of free service visits to two, from four, starting with '16 models.

To my twisted way of thinking, it is the opposite to what I would have thought. At altitude, air is less dense, and I would have thought that this would have made it a better insulator - apparently it does not, it is the opposite - why?? Also, there is the issue of different derating requirements between LV and MV. For LV, derating only applies above 2,000 metres, while for MV, derating applies above 1,000 metres - why is this so?? I haven't been able to find a suitable explantion why - any explanation would be appreciated (because for my poor old mind, if you use this logic, a vacuum should be a good conductor). Cheers! ! electricpete (Electrical) 30 May 02 12:00I'll take a stab at that. One common type of derating I am familiar with is power derating of a motor of transformer due to altitude.

This higher-voltage distribution system is called a primary system. Higher voltages allow the use of smaller conductors, but require more expensive transformers. Even so, when the primary system must deliver electrical power over a long distance, a higher voltage generally is favored because the lower cost of the smaller cable over the longer distances offsets the higher costs of the transformers and protective equipment. Electrical storms An electrified oil field has a high degree of exposure to electrical storms. Electrical storms cause high static voltages and, sometimes, high transient voltages, the latter being caused by lightning. Static lines and lightning arresters are used to reduce the damage to electrical equipment by the static voltages and lightning strikes. During electrical storms, the formation of rain clouds creates a difference in potential between the cloud and the earth. Above-ground primary electrical systems in a storm’s vicinity might inherit a high static-voltage level that, if not reduced by properly sized and grounded lightning arresters, can cause motor-winding-insulation damage." } ]

One of the most important components of a well-functioning engine is the fuel system. Modern cars tend to be fuel injected, rather than using carburetors, but not all fuel injection system are created equal. Multi-point injectors are more complicated than single-point systems, but they lead to an engine with better fuel economy and cleaner emissions. As these devices, known as carburetors, suffer from inherent inefficiencies, leading to uncombusted fuel and high emissions. As a result, fuel injectors emerged --- small devices that inject a predetermined amount of fuel, rather than relying on air pressure to do the job. Multi-point injection (MPI) systems inject fuel at each cylinder, allowing much greater control over how much fuel the engine burns. In MPI systems, the injection generally takes place directly inside the cylinder's intake valve. Compared to single-point injection or carburetion, MPI engines have better fuel economy and lower emissions. This is because the engine can meter the amount of fuel needed for each cylinder." } ]

Tips for repainting with elastomeric coatings", "text": "How much is too much? Tips for repainting with elastomeric coatings Caution Notes >>Based on the experience of PQA Inspector Dave Lick and MPI’s Level 2 Maintenance Repainting Coatings Specialist Course In our experience, many architects and owners specify elastomeric coatings for exterior concrete and masonry walls as a reflex reaction; they’ve used elastomerics successfully on previous projects and assume they’re the best choice again. But what if it’s a repaint job, and the surface already has multiple layers of elastomeric coatings? Can you just add another coat? Elastomeric coatings are noteworthy for their elongation (aka stretchiness) that allows them to tolerate some substrate movement and bridge moving hairline cracks — but they’re also attractive for these two seemingly competing virtues:they’re a virtual barrier to water in its liquid phase, so they’re excellent for waterproofing (you’re more or less wrapping a building in plastic).they “breathe:” their permeability allows moisture vapor (water in its gaseous phase) to readily pass through the film without compromising the film’s adhesion to the surface. The Need to Breathe A product’s breathability is measured in perms, defined as the number of grains of water vapor per hour per square foot per inch of mercury-water vapor pressure difference. A “breathable” coating is generally considered one that is 10 perms or greater, and typical elastomeric coatings may range from 8-12 perms or more. So an initial application of elastomeric applied at the proper DFT fulfills the specifier/owner’s requirement for a waterproof but breathable coating. But with each additional repaint, the permeability of the existing film is reduced, and eventually the multiple layers of elastomeric become a ‘barrier’ instead of a ‘breather.’ Water vapor that can no longer be breathed out of the wall gathers behind the coating and condenses into water." }, { "docid": "D84157#0", "title": "http://homeguides.sfgate.com/long-pay-mortgage-insurance-fha-loan-9441.html\nHow Long Do You Pay Mortgage Insurance on an FHA Loan?", "text": "Written by Kimberlee Leonard; Updated July 18, 2017Related Articles How Long Do You Pay PMI on an FHA Loan?

Sharing the name of the original full-size SJ model, but without a traditional body-on-frame chassis, the XJ instead featured a light-weight unibody design, [2] The models were originally marketed as Sportwagons and became the precursor to the modern sport utility vehicle (SUV) as that term was not yet in use. [ 3] [4]The XJ spawned competitors as other automakers began to notice that this Jeep design began replacing regular cars. [ 5] It also began to supplant the role of the station wagon and \"\"transformed from truck to limousine in the eyes of countless suburban owners.\"\" [ 6] The XJ is a \"\"significant link in the evolution of the 4x4.\"\" [ 7]Built in Toledo, Ohio, USA; Beijing, China; Ferreyra, Argentina; Cairo, Egypt; and in Valencia, Venezuela, the XJ provided the mechanical basis for the MJ -series Jeep Comanche pickup truck. Automotive journalist Robert Cumberford, writing for Automobile, called the Jeep XJ one of the 20 greatest cars of all time — for its design, and \"\"possibly the best SUV shape of all time, it is the paradigmatic model to which other designers have since aspired\"\". [ 6] The XJ was also selected in 2011 as one of \"\"10 cars that refuse to die\"\" by Kiplinger.

Camarota on November 30, 2010Download a pdf of this memorandum Steven A. Camarota is the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies. This Memorandum examines the costs and likely impact of the DREAM Act currently being considered by Congress. The act offers permanent legal status to illegal immigrants up to age 35 who arrived in the United States before age 16 provided they complete two years of college. Under the act, beneficiaries would receive in-state tuition. Given the low income of illegal immigrants, most can be expected to attend state schools, with a cost to taxpayers in the billions of dollars. As both funds and slots are limited at state universities and community colleges, the act may reduce the educational opportunities available to U. S. citizens. Among the findings: Assuming no fraud, we conservatively estimate that 1.03 million illegal immigrants will eventually enroll in public institutions (state universities or community colleges) as a result of the DREAM Act. That is, they meet the residence and age requirements of the act, have graduated high school, or will do so, and will come forward. On average, each illegal immigrant who attends a public institution will receive a tuition subsidy from taxpayers of nearly $6,000 for each year he or she attends, for total cost of $6.2 billion a year, not including other forms of financial assistance they may also receive. The above estimate is for the number who will enroll in public institutions." }, { "docid": "D2314512#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Soul\nKia Soul", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Kia Soul Overview Manufacturer Kia Motors Production 2009–present Body and chassis Class Compact crossover SUV ( J) (2009–2014) Subcompact crossover SUV ( J) (2014–present)Body style 5-door SUVThe Kia Soul is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive, five-door subcompactcrossover ( Mini MPV) manufactured and marketed worldwide by Kia and now in its second generation.

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a non-invasive imaging test that shows how well blood flows through (perfuses) your heart muscle. It can show areas of the heart muscle that aren’t getting enough blood flow. This test is often called a nuclear stress test. It can also show how well the heart muscle is pumping. There are 2 techniques for MPI: single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). MPI is useful in patients with chest discomfort to see if the discomfort comes from lack of blood flow to the heart muscle caused by narrowed or blocked heart arteries ( angina ). Myocardial perfusion imaging doesn’t show the heart arteries themselves, but can tell your doctor with good certainty if any heart arteries are blocked and how many. MPI can also show if you’ve previously had a heart attack. Depending on circumstances, for example if you have chest pain and an abnormal MPI study, the next step may be performing a coronary angiogram ." }, { "docid": "D1042229#0", "title": "http://www.4wdmechanix.com/Jeep-CJ-Inline-Six-Stroker-Rebuild?r=1\nJeep 232/258 Inline Six Upgradeâ4.5L to 4.7L Stroker Motor Buildup!", "text": "Posted on Apr 22, 2015 at 1:45 am · by Moses Ludel Jeep 232/258 Inline Six Upgrade—4.5L to 4.7L Stroker Motor Buildup! ( 4.7L Long-Block Photo Courtesy of Mopar® Performance)American Motors’ most significant and enduring contribution to Jeep® was the seven main bearing inline six. While most associate this engine design with ’72-up models, the architecture dates to 1964 and first appeared in 1965 Jeep J-trucks. AMC introduced a variety of six-cylinder engine changes from the mid-‘50s forward, offering four-main bearing inline sixes in L-head, iron OHV and even a short-lived aluminum block design that featured iron cylinder liners and an iron, OHV cylinder head. The aluminum-and-iron combination proved far less reliable than expected, and 1961-65 Rambler 196 cubic-inch, aluminum-block inline sixes required frequent head bolt re-torquing—or inevitable head gasket failure and block deck damage. Lightweight Rambler six-cylinder models stood for economy, and AMC entered the ‘sixties intent on elevating the status of inline six-cylinder performance. This feat was a significant challenge in an era of V-8 muscle power and cheap, readily available, high-octane pump gas. Though Jeep owners may wish to believe otherwise, AMC did not invent the seven-main bearing inline six. In fact, G. M. and Ford each abandoned four-main sixes, Chevrolet by 1963, Ford following in 1965. G. M. introduced the 194 in the compact 1962 Chevy II, Rambler’s direct competitor." }, { "docid": "D2162832#0", "title": "http://www.mlive.com/business/west-michigan/index.ssf/2010/10/was_mpi_researchs_3300-job_exp.html\nWas MPI Research's 3,300-job expansion plan oversold by MEDC, politicians?", "text": "Scott Harmsen | Kalamazoo Gazette Two laboratory buildings in downtown Kalamazoo were sold by Pfizer Inc. to MPI Research for $1 each in 2008.

MATTAWAN — In the more than two years since MPI Research announced a $330 million expansion that would create 3,300 new jobs in Kalamazoo and Mattawan, the company has dropped about 200 employees from its ranks. Yet the Mattawan-based research and testing company wants to claim state tax credits this year for creating new jobs, the company said. State officials say a company can’t receive the credits if it has fewer employees than it did when the incentives were awarded. In addition, MPI has so far failed to meet the hiring and investment obligations in downtown Kalamazoo required in agreements it reached with the state and city of Kalamazoo, according to a Kalamazoo Gazette examination of city and state documents. MPI officials say they’re committed to the expansion, but the economic turmoil of the past two years has delayed plans. “We will continue progress with our plans for growth in 2011 and are committed to help strengthen our economy in Michigan,” Joan Manners, MPI’s director of marketing, wrote in an e-mail to the Gazette." }, { "docid": "D3184762#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Avenger\nDodge Avenger", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see avenger (disambiguation).

Caruso was born into a poor family. Although he was a musical child who sang Neapolitan folk songs everywhere and joined his parish choir at the age of nine, he received no formal music training until his study with Guglielmo Vergine at age 18. Within three years, in 1894, he made his operatic debut, in Mario Morelli’s L’Amico Francesco in Naples at the Teatro Nuovo. Four years later, after adding a number of impressive roles to his repertoire, he was asked to create the role of Loris in the premiere of Umberto Giordano’s Fedora in Milan. He was a sensation and soon had engagements in Moscow, St. Petersburg (Russia), and Buenos Aires. He made his La Scala debut with La Bohème (1900). In 1901, after being unfavourably received in his performance in L’elisir d’amore in Naples, he vowed never again to sing in Naples, and he kept his word. Caruso then created the chief tenor parts in Adriana Lecouvreur, Germania, and La fanciulla del West, and for the La Scala company the tenor roles in Le Maschere and L’elisir d’amore. World recognition came in the spring of 1902 after he sang in La Bohème at Monte Carlo and in Rigoletto at London’s Covent Garden." }, { "docid": "D1004728#0", "title": "https://www.medicaremadeclear.com/about/costs/medicare-part-d\nPart D Coverage & Costs", "text": "Medicare Part D is prescription drug coverage.

To Bulgarian-born journalist Stephane Groueff, the Manhattan Project was an outstanding example of the \"\"American way\"\": a combination of creativity, courage to try unorthodox approaches, and a relentless determination to succeed. Leadership The Manhattan Project benefited from an unusual number of extremely intelligent, experienced, and effective leaders. Their enormous energy and undaunted spirit carried the project forward despite the odds against its success. Some of these exemplary leaders included the Army Corps of Engineers' General Leslie Groves, physicists J.

Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings). Fermi's \"\"elemental make-up\"\" is described below. Remember that most people are \"\"unbalanced\"\" or lopsided, and if Enrico is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that he needs to consciously develop that particular aspect in order to appreciate and/or work harder in that dimension of life. Sometimes we overestimate the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following pages. Enrico Fermi possesses a measure of all the elements and is thus less likely than others to overemphasize or completely neglect one dimension of experience in favor of another. He is capable of both thinking and feeling, envisioning possibilities and dealing effectively with the here-and-now. This does not mean that Enrico does not have definite preferences and attitudes (these will be covered in the following chapters), nor even that he does not go overboard in his own particular way. But Enrico Fermi is a more versatile and complex person, less one-sided than many other people are, and thus able to draw on all of the elemental qualities as required." }, { "docid": "D2414590#0", "title": "http://voxeu.org/article/what-shadow-banking\nWhat is shadow banking?", "text": "What is shadow banking?

At the time, no one could have imagined the impact his scientific discoveries would have on the world. Interestingly, Fermi didn't get interested in physics until after his brother died unexpectedly during a minor surgery. Fermi was only 14 and the loss of his brother devastated him. Looking for an escape from reality, Fermi happened upon two physics books from 1840 and read them from cover to cover, fixing some of the mathematical errors as he read.

A: Quick Answer In math, reasonableness refers to the results of a calculation or problem-solving operation reflecting what is reasonable within the context of the given factors or values. Two qualifiers of an answer's reasonableness are the order of magnitude within the framework of the problem and whether the results are either positive or negative.

For example, if the given problem is to determine the sum of 23 plus 76, it can be estimated that the final and precise answer will be somewhere close to 100 because the known calculation 25 plus 75 equals 100 is close to the given problem 23 plus 76.

Experience Experience comes in many shapes and sizes. You may think that if you have a small business, the experience you need from a bookkeeper can be “small” as well. There is nothing further from the truth. You need as much experience as you can afford, because great bookkeeping and accounting is instrumental in growing your business and maximizing your profits. Experience does not always equal good fit, either. Someone who has worked for 20 years as a part-time bookkeeper for a landscaping company, although “experienced,” may not have the depth and breadth you need for an early stage startup company.

The Renaissance does not have a start date. Its origins are often located around 1400 but as early as the late 1200s we see changes in painting and sculpture that lay the foundation for what we will come to recognize as the Renaissance. Some scholars call this early period the \"\"Late Gothic\"\"—a term which refers to the late Middle Ages, while other people call it the \"\"Proto-Renaissance\"\"—the beginnings of the Renaissance. In any case, a revolution is beginning to take place in Italy the early 1300s in the way people think about the world, the way they think about the past, and the way they think about themselves and their relationship with God. Giotto The artist who takes the biggest step away from the Medieval style of spiritual representation in painting in the early 14th century is Giotto. Giotto is perhaps best known for the frescos he painted in the Arena (or Scrovegni) Chapel. They were commissioned by a wealthy man named Enrico Scrovegni, the son of a well-known banker (and a banker himself). According to the Church, usury (charging interest for a loan) was a sin, and so perhaps one of Enrico's motivations for building the chapel and having it decorated by Giotto was to atone for the sin of usury. The chapel is known as the Arena Chapel since it is on the site of an ancient Roman arena (or amphitheater) that later became the property of Scrovegni, whose palace abutted the chapel (the palace was torn down in the nineteenth century, though parts of the arena remain)." }, { "docid": "D1181838#0", "title": "https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006042401075\nWhat is the meaning of SF in Ferrari?", "text": "\"Cars & Transportation Car Makes Other - Car Makes What is the meaning of SF in Ferrari?1 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: 'SF' as seen on the front wings of the car underneath the Black Horse symbol stands for 'Scuderia Ferrari' in keeping with the equine motif. The phrase basically means 'Ferrari Racing Stables' which refers to the racing arm of the Ferrari Automobiles. The 'SF' logo seen on most Ferrari road cars is strictly marketing and does not mean anything. The sign of the Black horse that was adopted by Ferrari is attributable to the family crest of Francesco Baracca (son of Count Enrico Baracca) the great Italian flying ace from WW1 who died in combat in 1918. The Ace had the sign of the black Prancing horse on the side of his aircraft during the war years. The Count watched Ferrari race in 1923 at Savio when the famous meeting took place. As Enzo Ferrari writes in his own words about the meeting in 1923 at Savio, \"\"After the race, I met Count Enrico Baracca and later the Countess Paolina, who one day told me, why don't you put the prancing horse logo on your racing cars. It will bring you good luck\"\". The 'SF' was later added as Ferrari went on to manage the Alfa Romeo racing team for the factory.

Actually the fact now not having more individual licenses for each of the 8 products that are part of the family System Center 2012 is an advantage. However, it is important to remember two factors that many are leaving aside: The current System Center already had a licensing Suite Enterprise call involving all products Client licensing still continues to exist, being an important cost in the final calculation, but also possessed the Enterprise CAL Suite option For System Center current did some calculations to demonstrate how much some implementations ( https://msincic.wordpress.com/2010/12/06/licenses-in-the-system-center-family-types-and-prices/) in and it is good to clarify how to get the same data now, including the license of customers, and make the comparison. License for Servers Now the licensing can be Standard or Enterprise: Standard is for physical or virtual machines and covers only two processors and 2 virtual machines at a cost of $ 1,323Enteprise does not limit the number of servers to the ecosystem, but limits the number of physical processors on the host at a cost of $ 3,607It may seem confusing, but it is actually simple, imagining the scenario where a server (host) with 4 physical processors: If you are implementing a VM for each feature, so 8 VMs, the ideal would be to buy 2 (two) Enterprise license since each license cover 2 processors and wouldn’t “count” the number of VMs If you are going to implement up to 4 VMs grouping roles ideally buy 2 (two) Standard licenses since each license covers 2 processors and 2 VMs Note: in the first example above the cost of having two Enterprise licenses is $ 7,214 while with the Standard is $ 5,292. It seems that the decision should be thought out carefully!! ! License for Customers We have a table of different, because customers licensing are 3 licenses depending on the product that will be used: The licenses are not cumulative, but travellers. So if you want to use the SCCM, SCOM, VMM and DPM on a given server will need to purchase the license of CMC and to CMSL at a cost of $ 183. On the old template would be necessary to spend $ 354 ($ 157 SCCM Server License and SCOM and $ 70 by VMM and license Suite DPM that are).

This article presents the design of a Java implementation for a DB2 user-defined function (UDF) that takes as input two parameters: a UTC timestamp (for example, 2004-04-04-04.00.00.000000) and a locale name (such as \"\"America/Guayaquil\"\") and returns the timestamp equivalent in the new locale (in this case, 2004-04-03-23.00.00.000000). The two main challenges for performing the conversion were: The ability to support all the different names a certain locale could appear under and all the different locales that could come in as an input The ability to figure out the daylight savings time rule for each locale The real life experience of a data warehousing project with data coming in from many different applications and from locales scattered over few continents proved that such a function was invaluable for the transformation side of the Extract Transform Load (ETL) process that was needed to analyze and process the data. Setting the stage A unique moment in the time continuum can be defined by that moment's date, time, and, for even more precision, by the number of fractions of a second. Called a timestamp, its ISO representation in DB2 looks like this:1 2004-07-24-16.18.28.410002In this case, the precision is down to one microsecond. Recording the timestamp when an event occurred in relationship to a transaction is called “timestamping\"\" the transaction. Timestamping a record is done many times throughout the life of a transaction for recording the time a transaction was created, was last modified, was last accessed, and so on. The usual design for centrally storing transactions that happen in multiple geographies and multiple locales is to timestamp each record with the Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) equivalent of the local time. By also recording the place where the transaction occurred, for example by storing the customer number or the business unit number where the transaction took place, you can reconstruct the local time of that transaction. The need to reconstruct the local time for a UTC timestamp at the transaction's place of origin was presented to us when data from many sources had to be processed, analyzed and reported on." }, { "docid": "D2172467#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_access_license\nClient access license", "text": "\"This article relies too much on references to primary sources.

Customers who currently license Microsoft's Core or Enterprise Client Access License (CAL) Suites organization-wide under an EA will be able to substitute a less expensive corresponding CAL Suite Bridge as they shift users to Office 365—branded hosted services. Shown here are the licenses included in the Core and Enterprise CAL Suites, the new Core and Enterprise CAL Suite Bridges for Office 365, and the Office 365 E3 plan, the most comprehensive plan that will be available at launch later this year. The Core CAL Suite, pictured at the bottom, contains four licenses that give clients the right to access features provided by on-premises servers running several Microsoft server products. The Exchange Server Standard CAL (far left) licenses access to the e-mail, calendar, and other basic Exchange features; the Share Point Server Standard CAL licenses access to collaboration, corporate portal, enterprise search, and document management features; the Configuration Manager Client Management License (CML) licenses access to System Center product's inventory, software distribution, and other management capabilities; and the Windows Server CAL licenses access to all the OS's built-in capabilities except for Remote Desktop Services and Rights Management Services (RMS). The Enterprise CAL Suite, a superset of the Core CAL Suite, adds Enterprise CALs for Exchange and Share Point, giving clients the right to access the high-end capabilities of both products that are not licensed by their respective Standard CALs. The Enterprise CAL Suite also adds both Standard and Enterprise CALs for Lync Server to provide rights to IM, presence, Web conferencing, and PC-to-PC calling; CMLs for an additional three System Center products for health monitoring, backup, and help desk; an RMS CAL to license Microsoft's content protection system, and two licenses to give clients the right to benefit from a variety of Forefront-branded security products. An Office 365 E3 subscription (left half of illustration), provides access to hosted services built on Exchange, Share Point, and Lync (top left). In part to ease licensing complexity for customers using both on-premises and hosted Microsoft technologies, Office 365 E3 also provides (during the life of the subscription) rights to access on-premises instances of Exchange, Share Point, and Lync (e.g., a Standard and Enterprise CAL for each). These on-premises use rights overlap with licenses provided by the Core and Enterprise CAL Suites." }, { "docid": "D1055458#0", "title": "http://www.pe.com/articles/school-778440-cbu-division.html\nRIVERSIDE: Cal Baptist plans $73 million arena", "text": "Local News RIVERSIDE: Cal Baptist plans $73 million arena Previous Next1of 4When arranged for basketball, California Baptist University's new arena will house 5,200 -- but it can be reconfigured for special events (above).

The definition of a Qualified Device in Microsoft’s current Enterprise Agreement states that a Qualified Device means:“any device that is used by or for the benefit of Enrolled Affiliate’s Enterprise and is: (1) a personal desktop computer, portable computer, workstation, or similar device capable of running an instance of Windows Professional locally (in a physical or virtual operating system environment) or (2) a device used to access a virtual desktop infrastructure (“VDI”).”If an organization-owned device such as an i Pad is authenticated to the corporate network and is accessing Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 as a Published Application via Remote Desktop Services (Citrix or Terminal Services for example), is the device a Qualified Device? The reason I ask is that Microsoft does not define the term “Virtual Desktop Infrastructure” in its EA contracts. Whilst most of us would consider VDI to mean a virtual operating system environment running on server infrastructure (i.e. a Virtual Machine that contains a desktop operating system), which is not the case when accessing a published application, I am not certain whether or not Microsoft’s use of the term VDI is intended to also cover access to server based desktop application software, even if that software is not running in an actual virtual machine. I appreciate that regardless of whether the device is a qualified device or not that it still requires an Office Professional Plus 2013 licence, but I am trying to determine whether or not it is considered to be a qualified device as per the contractual terms of the EA. If you can share your thoughts that would be much appreciated. Thank you. On behalf of all confused licensing professionals.

Thanks to the folks in the Microsoft Licensing Professionals network Group for your considered and professionally delivered feedback!Dear confused licensing professionals,Interestingly, I was having a discussion with a product manager from a software development organization recently that touched on these subjects – and I’ll say for the record, that it’s not just software licensing professionals who are confused." }, { "docid": "D2004049#0", "title": "https://www.neowin.net/news/a-guide-to-microsoft-licensing-types\nA guide to Microsoft Licensing types", "text": "A guide to Microsoft Licensing types By Andrew Stevenson · Dec 6, 2012 07:44 EST · Hot! 22While everyone knows that you need to have a legitimate license to use a Microsoft product at home or at work, licensing from a business point of view is extremely complex.

Additionally, DMEPA prospectively reviews proprietary names, labeling, packaging, and product design prior to drug approval to help prevent medication errors. Although DMEPA encourages manufacturers to perform their due diligence when naming their drug products and we strive to avoid approving confusing proprietary names for drug products, there are cases of adverse events where a name of a marketed product is identified as a source of confusion and error.

The same organization released a widely discussed report about the cost effectiveness of the new PCSK9 inhibitors. Crystal Phend in Med Page Today has an excellent summary of the two reports: LCZ696 won’t save healthcare dollars long term, but the list price of $4,560 per year is in line with the “small to substantial net health benefit” over the current standard of care in reducing heart failure hospitalizations and deaths, the report suggested. However, given that nearly 2 million heart failure patients would be candidates for the drug in its first 5 years on the market, the “value-based price benchmark” to keep the budget impact in line with national economic growth should be $3,779. The estimated cost per quality-adjusted life-year gained was about $51,000. That 17% differential is likely achievable with the usual price deductions for large volume purchasers, the report suggested.…For the Cardio MEMS pulmonary artery pressure sensor, the analysis concluded there was “insufficient” evidence for an improvement in overall patient outcomes and thus “excessive cost” to the healthcare system. The estimated cost per quality-adjusted life-year gained was about $58,000. In order for expected use to pull even with the budget impact, the $17,750 list price would need to be discounted 57% to $7,622.

The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review analyzed the economic value of two interventions for congestive heart failure: Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis' new drug Entresto and a St. Jude Medical system known as Cardio MEMS HF for monitoring increases in pulmonary artery pressure. Although the drug provides a clear benefit over standard treatments, the report found, it could impose an excessive financial burden on the U. S. health system because of its potential patient population of more than 1.9 million within its first five years on the market. “ If we're getting good long-term value, we want to try and get that drug or device into the healthcare system for the patients who would benefit from it,” said Dr. Steven Pearson, founder and president of ICER. “ But if it's going to be lots and lots of patients and cause a huge budget impact, we can't be unaware that that's going to potentially drive up overall healthcare costs so much that they could kind of get out of whack.” ICER concluded that lowering Entresto's annual cost from its list price of $4,560 a patient to $3,779, a discount of 17%, would make it cost-effective. It's not unusual, the report noted, for insurers and Medicaid programs to get such discounts. The Food and Drug Administration approved Entresto in July after concluding it reduced the risk of death and hospitalization over ACE inhibitors, the most commonly used class of drugs for managing congestive heart failure for the past two decades. The report is the second the organization has released this month assessing the value of new medical treatments. The first looked at the cost effectiveness of PCSK9 inhibitors, a new class of injectable, cholesterol-lowering drugs that received FDA approval over the summer and have been listed at an annual cost of $14,000." }, { "docid": "D1081596#0", "title": "http://www.rxlist.com/entresto-side-effects-drug-center.htm\nEntresto", "text": "Entresto Side Effects Center Find Lowest Prices on Medical Editor: John P.

S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a drug called Entresto for the treatment and management of heart failure. After a clinical study involving 8,000 patients, the drug was found to decrease the risk of deaths and hospital admissions due to cardiovascular diseases. The drug was given approval under the FDA priority review program, which involves faster review processes to come up with treatments for serious medical conditions or diseases. Heart failure is one of the most common medical conditions in the United States, accounting for approximately 5.1 million cases of affected individuals throughout the country. The disease is characterized by the difficulty of the heart to pump sufficient blood throughout the body. When the heart becomes weaker over time, the organs' blood supply gradually decreases and complications may develop. Causes Heart failure is caused by other medical conditions or diseases that affect the ability of the heart to pump blood efficiently. Examples of such conditions include coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, kidney pathologies and obesity. Clinical Manifestations Patients who may be candidates for heart failure may exhibit signs and symptoms, which include edematous or swollen ankles, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and frequent urination especially at night. Neurological symptoms may also be present and include dizziness, concentration problems, and confusion." } ]

Specifically, assuming for simplicity that each of the microscopic configurations is equally probable, the entropy of the system is the natural logarithm of that number of configurations, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant k B. Formally, (assuming equiprobable states)This is consistent with 19th-century formulas for entropy in terms of heat and temperature, as discussed below. Boltzmann's constant, and therefore entropy, have dimensions of energy divided by temperature. For example, gas in a container with known volume, pressure, and energy could have an enormous number of possible configurations of the collection of individual gas molecules. At equilibrium, each instantaneous configuration of the gas may be regarded as random. Entropy may be understood as a measure of disorder within a macroscopic system." } ]

( June 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)When a cubical die is rolled, a random number between 1 and 6 is obtained. Random number generation is the generation of a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by a random chance, usually through a hardware random-number generator (RNG). Various applications of randomness have led to the development of several different methods for generating random data, of which some have existed since ancient times, among whose ranks are well-known \"\"classic\"\" examples, including the rolling of dice, coin flipping, the shuffling of playing cards, the use of yarrow stalks (for divination) in the I Ching, as well as countless other techniques. Because of the mechanical nature of these techniques, generating large numbers of sufficiently random numbers (important in statistics) required a lot of work and/or time. Thus, results would sometimes be collected and distributed as random number tables. Nowadays, after the advent of computational random-number generators, a growing number [ quantify] of government-run lotteries and lottery games have started [ when?] using RNGs instead of more traditional drawing methods." }, { "docid": "D832701#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_energy\nHeat", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Heat energy)navigation search This article is about a mode of transfer of energy. For other uses, see Heat (disambiguation). In thermodynamics, heat refers to energy that is transferred from a warmer substance or object to a cooler one. It can be defined as the total amount of transferred energy excluding any macroscopic work that was done and any transfer of part of the object itself. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Transfer of energy as heat can occur through direct contact, through a barrier that is impermeable to matter (as in conduction ), by radiation between separated bodies, by way of an intermediate fluid (as in convective circulation ), or by a combination of these. [ 7] [8] [9] By contrast to work, heat involves the stochastic (random) motion of particles (such as atoms or molecules) that is equally distributed among all degrees of freedom, while work is confined to one or more specific degrees of freedom such as the center of mass. Since heat (like work) is a quantity of energy being transferred between two bodies by certain processes, neither body \"\"has\"\" a definite amount of heat (much like a body in itself doesn't \"\"have\"\" work). In contrast, a body indeed has properties ( state functions) such as temperature and internal energy. Energy exchanged as heat during a given process changes the (internal) energy of each body by equal and opposite amounts. The sign of the quantity of heat indicates the direction of the transfer, for example from system A to system B; negation indicates energy flowing in the opposite direction." }, { "docid": "D892103#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/004060319401963H\nOther paperThe advantages and disadvantages of direct and indirect calorimetry", "text": "\"Thermochimica Acta Volume 250, Issue 2, 15 February 1995, Pages 337-352Other paper The advantages and disadvantages of direct and indirect calorimetry Presented at the Ninth Conference of the International Society for Biological Calorimetry, Berlin-Schmerwitz, 27–31 May 1994, and dedicated to Ingolf Lamprecht on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The data necessary to correct the observed heat loss in direct calorimetry are often all that are needed to make an indirect calculation of the true heat loss. In general, because they are convenient and inexpensive to use, indirect calorimetric methods are preferable to direct methods.

Willard Gibbs in the 1870s, is of the form:where is the probability of the microstate i taken from an equilibrium ensemble. The defining expression for entropy in the theory of information established by Claude E. Shannon in 1948 is of the form:where is the probability of the message taken from the message space M, and b is the base of the logarithm used. Common values of b are 2, Euler's number e, and 10, and the unit of entropy is shannon (or bit) for b = 2, nat for b = e, and hartley for b = 10. [ 1]Mathematically H may also be seen as an average information, taken over the message space, because when a certain message occurs with probability p i, the information quantity −log ( p i) will be obtained. If all the microstates are equiprobable (a microcanonical ensemble ), the statistical thermodynamic entropy reduces to the form, as given by Boltzmann,where W is the number of microstates.

Water has a greater entropy than ice and so entropy favours melting. But ice has a lower energy than water and so energy favours freezing. It is possible to predict what will happen by taking into account the entropy of the surroundings, in addition to the energy of the system. The following reaction shows the change in state from water to ice: Freezing is an exothermic process; energy is lost from the water and dissipated to the surroundings. Therefore, as the surroundings get hotter, they are gaining more energy and thus the entropy of the surroundings is increasing. The amount by which the entropy of the surroundings has increased can be determined using the following principle: the entropy of the surroundings increases by an amount equal to the heat energy they gain divided by the temperature at which it happens, therefore: This relationship allows us to make a prediction about the entropy of the surroundings of a chemical process, whatever they are (even the whole universe! ), using the measurements we can make on the chemical system. The total entropy change can then be used to predict whether a reaction is feasible or not at a given temperature. The total entropy is equal to: Using this equation for the freezing of water at -10 o C for example: The overall entropy increases, and so the reaction is feasible (in thermodynamic terms, the reaction would be described as being spontaneous; however, this does not in any way describe how fast the reaction occurs)." }, { "docid": "D915543#0", "title": "http://schools-wikipedia.org/wp/e/Entropy.htm\nEntropy", "text": "\"Entropy Related subjects: Physics Did you know... SOS Children volunteers helped choose articles and made other curriculum material SOS Child sponsorship is cool!Ice melting - a classic example of entropy increasing described in 1862 by Rudolf Clausius as an increase in the disgregation of the molecules of the body of ice. Entropy articles Introduction History Classical Statistical In thermodynamics (a branch of physics ), entropy is a measure of the unavailability of a system’s energy to do work. It is a measure of the randomness of molecules in a system and is central to the second law of thermodynamics and the combined law of thermodynamics, which deal with physical processes and whether they occur spontaneously. Spontaneous changes, in isolated systems, occur with an increase in entropy. Spontaneous changes tend to smooth out differences in temperature, pressure, density, and chemical potential that may exist in a system, and entropy is thus a measure of how far this smoothing-out process has progressed. The word \"\"entropy\"\" is derived from the Greek εντροπία \"\"a turning toward\"\" ( εν- \"\"in\"\" + τροπή \"\"a turning\"\"), and is symbolized by S in physics. Explanation When a system's energy is defined as the sum of its \"\"useful\"\" energy, (e.g. that used to push a piston), and its \"\"useless energy\"\", i.e. that energy which cannot be used for external work, then entropy may be (most concretely) visualized as the \"\"scrap\"\" or \"\"useless\"\" energy whose energetic prevalence over the total energy of a system is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the considered system. ( Note the product \"\"TS\"\" in the Gibbs free energy or Helmholtz free energy relations). Entropy is a function of a quantity of heat which shows the possibility of conversion of that heat into work. The increase in entropy is small when heat is added at high temperature and is greater when heat is added at lower temperature." }, { "docid": "D327022#0", "title": "https://www.livescience.com/50942-third-law-thermodynamics.html\nWhat is the Third Law of Thermodynamics?", "text": "\"Live Science Tech Reference: What is the Third Law of Thermodynamics?

Credit: Khomulo Anna | Shutterstock The Third Law of Thermodynamics is concerned with the limiting behavior of systems as the temperature approaches absolute zero. Most thermodynamics calculations use only entropy differences, so the zero point of the entropy scale is often not important. However, we discuss the Third Law for purposes of completeness because it describes the condition of zero entropy. The Third Law states, “The entropy of a perfect crystal is zero when the temperature of the crystal is equal to absolute zero (0 K).” According to Purdue University, “The crystal must be perfect, or else there will be some inherent disorder. It also must be at 0 K; otherwise there will be thermal motion within the crystal, which leads to disorder. ”Siabal Mitra, a professor of physics at Missouri State University, provides another implication of this law. “" }, { "docid": "D2808119#0", "title": "http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/thermodynamics\nthermodynamics", "text": "\"thermodynamics Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia .thermodynamics,branch of science concerned with the nature of heatheat,nonmechanical energy in transit, associated with differences in temperature between a system and its surroundings or between parts of the same system.

It allows us to build an apparatus that does work, but it places important restrictions on that apparatus. It says that we have to be willing to pay a price in terms of a loss of either heat or internal energy for any work we ask the system to do. It also puts a limit on the amount of work we can get for a given investment of either heat or internal energy. The first law allows us to convert heat into work, or work into heat. It also allows us to change the internal energy of a system by transferring either heat or work between the system and its surroundings. But it doesn't tell us whether one of these changes is more easy to achieve than another. Our experiences, however, tell us that there is a preferred direction to many natural processes. We aren't surprised when a cup of coffee gradually loses heat to its surroundings as it cools, for example, or when the ice in a glass of lemonade absorbs heat as it melts.

The first technological approaches were developed for scientific use, and were based on the principle that “the body is a great communication system” capable to react to exterior electromagnetic radiations. The Physiospect technique made for therapists, came out of this scientific experiment. It is made to be in contact with the body, without actual skin contact, and connected to a personal computer with a sophisticated software. So how does it work? It works by sending an infra-red triggering signal of extremely low intensity to the Bio-field around the brain via specially designed headphones. The principle is based on the fact the every cell tissue and organ has its own unique frequency pattern that varies as it experiences a load or stress. The healthier the area being investigated the more stable its frequency pattern is.

A pile of flattened cars and trucks squats nearby amid vast sheets of scrap metal. For at least the last four years, this automobile shredder and metal recycler has dumped more pollutants into the river than allowed under the federal Clean Water Act, government records show. The levels have ranged higher than 250 times above what’s known to harm salmon that migrate through the river. The company, which declined to comment for this story, has reported its violations to the government, as required by law. But instead of punishing the metal recycler, the Washington Department of Ecology encouraged the company to reduce its pollution levels. The agency also searched for a legal way to make Seattle Iron & Metals’ pollution limits more lenient, and says it plans to relax them soon. The Seattle Iron & Metals story is emblematic of widespread failures in the nation’s efforts to end the toxic pollution that modern life has unleashed on America’s rivers, lakes and bays. The Clean Water Act, passed by a large bipartisan majority of Congress 40 years ago, was intended to eliminate water pollution by 1985. Congress declared: “It is the national policy that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts be prohibited. ”Yet in the Pacific Northwest, as across the nation, the Clean Water Act has fallen far short of its goals." }, { "docid": "D1581280#0", "title": "http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc1/PollutionControls.html\nPollution Controls", "text": "\"Home | CEE | 1st edition | Pollution Controls [An updated version of this article can be found at Pollution Controls in the 2nd edition. ] W hile there is general agreement that we must control pollution of our air, water, and land, various interest groups, public agencies, and experts have disputed just how we should control it. The pollution control mechanisms adopted in the United States have tended toward detailed regulation of technology. In 1970 popular concern about environmental degradation coalesced into a major political force, resulting in the creation of a federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by President Nixon, and the first of the major federal attempts to regulate pollution directly—the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970. Since then, the federal role in regulating pollution has grown immensely, unleashing a cascade of regulation upon the EPA, local governments, and the business community. But that has begun to change. Although the command-and-control approach is the norm, environmental lobbyists and legislators are beginning to consider market-based approaches to pollution control. Regulatory Standards In virtually every antipollution law, Congress has instructed the EPA to establish and enforce specific pollution standards for individual polluters. These standards are generally based on some notion of the \"\"best available\"\" technology for each source of pollution in each industry. Because each pollutant has many sources, the EPA often must set literally hundreds of maximum discharge standards for any single pollutant." }, { "docid": "D514178#0", "title": "https://courses.lumenlearning.com/microeconomics/chapter/environmental-laws/\nReading: The Benefits and Costs of U.S. Environmental Laws", "text": "BENEFITS AND COSTS OF CLEAN AIR AND CLEAN WATERGovernment economists have estimated that U. S. firms may pay more than $200 billion per year to comply with federal environmental laws. That is big bucks. Is the money well spent? The benefits of a cleaner environment can be divided into four areas: (1) people may stay healthier and live longer; (2) certain industries that rely on clean air and water, such as farming, fishing, and tourism, may benefit; (3) property values may be higher; and (4) people may simply enjoy a cleaner environment in a way that does not need to involve a market transaction. Some of these benefits, such as gains to tourism or farming, are relatively easy to value in economic terms. It is harder to assign a monetary value to others, such as the value of clean air for someone with asthma. It seems impossible to put a clear-cut monetary value on still others, such as the satisfaction you might feel from knowing that the air is clear over the Grand Canyon, even if you have never visited the Grand Canyon. Although estimates of environmental benefits are not precise, they can still be revealing. For example, a study by the Environmental Protection Agency looked at the costs and benefits of the Clean Air Act from 1970 to 1990.

You have caricatured economists a bit, but economists have spent a great deal of time talking about the decision-making process while often ignoring the question of the origin of value, of what truly gives things value. I do think that economists are skilled at discussing how values get transferred, how they get altered, and how people recognize other people’s values. But, ultimately, everyone has to think about the origin of those values. I hope that, as a Christian economist, I am not completely insensitive to this issue, and my Christian theology certainly forms my position as an economist. In fact, I would argue that every economist has some sort of theology or view of the world that accounts for the origin of values.

The EPA can ensure that the air we breathe is free of contaminants, and when the level of contaminants increases beyond a reasonable level, it can inform people to stay indoors and protect themselves.

Command-line arguments are given after the name of a program in command-line operating systems like DOS or Linux, and are passed in to the program from the operating system. To use command line arguments in your program, you must first understand the full declaration of the main function, which previously has accepted no arguments. In fact, main can actually accept two arguments: one argument is number of command line arguments, and the other argument is a full list of all of the command line arguments. The full declaration of main looks like this:int main ( int argc, char *argv [] )The integer, argc is the arg ument c ount. It is the number of arguments passed into the program from the command line, including the name of the program. The array of character pointers is the listing of all the arguments. argv [0] is the name of the program, or an empty string if the name is not available. After that, every element number less than argc is a command line argument.

The io module provides the Python interfaces to stream handling. Under Python 2.x, this is proposed as an alternative to the built-in file object, but in Python 3.x it is the default interface to access files and streams. Note Since this module has been designed primarily for Python 3.x, you have to be aware that all uses of “bytes” in this document refer to the str type (of which bytes is an alias), and all uses of “text” refer to the unicode type. Furthermore, those two types are not interchangeable in the io APIs. At the top of the I/O hierarchy is the abstract base class IOBase. It defines the basic interface to a stream. Note, however, that there is no separation between reading and writing to streams; implementations are allowed to raise an IOError if they do not support a given operation. Extending IOBase is Raw IOBase which deals simply with the reading and writing of raw bytes to a stream." }, { "docid": "D2531348#0", "title": "https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/9489f082-3296-4e9a-8cf9-e59e6ead4175/how-to-execute-a-sql-stored-procedure-in-ms-excel?forum=excel\nHow to execute a SQL Stored Procedure in MS Excel", "text": "\"How to execute a SQL Stored Procedure in MS Excel Microsoft Office > Excel IT Pro Discussions Question0Sign in to vote I have the following code to execute a stored procedure from SQL server and return a dataset to excel, using a parameter derived from a listbox, however i get the error message \"\"procedure smsabacodes has no parameters and arguments were supplied\"\".

Instead, it is the messages themselves that have an identifier which also determines the messages' priority. Nodes then depending on their function transmit specific messages and look for specific message. For this reason there is no theoretical limit to the number of nodes although in practice it is ~64. Note that no two nodes can transmit the same message ID as this violates the priority rules. Three specifications are in use:2.0A sometimes known as Basic or Standard CAN with 11 bit message identifiers which was originally specified to operated at a maximum frequency of 250Kbit/sec and is ISO11519.2.0B known as Full CAN or extended frame CAN with 29 bit message identifier which can be used at up to 1Mbit/sec and is ISO 11898.

The term is also used for a form of multiline string literals that use similar syntax, preserving line breaks and other whitespace (including indentation) in the text.

Other high-level languages such as Python and Tcl have other facilities for multiline strings. Here documents can be treated either as files or strings. Some shells treat them as a format string literal, allowing variable substitution and command substitution inside the literal. The most common syntax for here documents, originating in Unix shells, is << followed by a delimiting identifier (often EOF or END [2] ), followed, starting on the next line, by the text to be quoted, and then closed by the same delimiting identifier on its own line. This syntax is because here documents are formally stream literals, and the content of the document is redirected to stdin (standard input) of the preceding command; the here document syntax is by analogy with the syntax for input redirection, which is < \"\"take input from the following file\"\".

The DATA DIVISION of a subprogram contains three sections --FILE, WORKING-STORAGE, and LINKAGE-- while that of a (main) program contains only the first two. The FILE SECTION describes the record structures of files used by the (sub)program. In effect, for each file, it sets up a one-record buffer (in RAM) that is used for holding the record most recently read in (if the file is an input file) or for holding the data that is \"\"waiting\"\" to be written out (if the file is an output file). Remark: COBOL is best-suited for dealing with files whose structure conforms to the classic file-record-field-character hierarchy, in which a file is a sequence of uniformly-formatted records, each of which is a sequence of fields, each of which is a character string. ( To be fair, COBOL does a good job of handling files containing records of different formats, as long as the number of formats is fairly small. ) The WORKING-STORAGE SECTION describes temporary (i.e., non-persistent) data, which exists only during program execution. Remark: When a file has records of a number of different formats (such as a \"\"generic\"\" output file through which all output is written), it is often convenient to use the WORKING-STORAGE section to describe the various record formats. End of remark. The data division of a subprogram also includes a LINKAGE SECTION , which is where the formal parameters (called \"\"arguments\"\" in COBOL) are described." }, { "docid": "D1632220#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LR_parser\nLR parser", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In computer science, LR parsers are a type of bottom-up parser that efficiently read deterministic context-free languages, in guaranteed linear time. [ 1] There are several variants of LR parsers: SLR parsers, LALR parsers, Canonical LR (1) parsers, Minimal LR (1) parsers, GLR parsers. LR parsers are generated by a parser generator which reads a formal grammar defining the syntax of the language to be parsed. They are widely used for the processing of computer languages. The name LR is an initialism. The L means that the parser reads input text in one direction without backing up; that direction is typically L eft to right within each line, and top to bottom across the lines of the full input file. ( This is true for most parsers.) The R means that the parser produces a R ightmost derivation in reverse: it does a bottom-up parse - not a top-down LL parse or ad-hoc parse. The name LR is often followed by a numeric qualifier, as in LR (1) or sometimes LR ( k). To avoid backtracking or guessing, the LR parser is allowed to peek ahead at k lookahead input symbols before deciding how to parse earlier symbols." }, { "docid": "D1926136#0", "title": "https://ivanyu.me/blog/2014/09/13/creating-a-simple-parser-with-antlr/\nCreating a simple parser with ANTLR", "text": "Creating a simple parser with ANTLRRecently, I’ve faced a task of developing a tool which allows the application to have base of (not very complex) logical rules.

The rule base should be changeable without redeployment of the application, ideally, should be stored in a database. We should have control on compilation and error emission. The first and the second demand could be met by developing some kind of Scala- or Groovy-based DSL, extremely simple. But I’ve come with several arguments against: The third requirement might be hard to meet. The rules are quite simple, so embedding an interpreter of a general-purpose language might be overkill. The language which rules consumer is written in might be changed (from Java/Scala to Python e.g. )So, I’ve decided to write a very simple rule parser/compiler.

Small amounts of radioactive materials are either injected or inhaled; then, positrons i.e., positively charged particles are emitted from the unstable radioactive substance. Positrons collide with nearby electrons to release high energy gamma rays that are detected by the PET scanner. The PET scanner obtains numerous images of these emissions as the substance flows through the brain vasculature. What are aspects of metabolic brain activity measured by PET? blood flow, glucose metabolism, and oxygen consumption Functional magnetic resonance imaging (f MRI) Measures changes in the oxygen concentration of the blood in response to its utilization at various brain locations; is funtional Electroencephalography (EEG) measures the electrical field that is naturally generated by the brain; provides high temporal information about brain activity on the order of milliseconds, but relatively poor spatial resolution/localization.

This may be done in a sleep disorder center or even at home. A polysomnogram -- or sleep study -- is a multiple-component test that electronically transmits and records specific physical activities while you sleep. The recordings are analyzed by a qualified sleep specialist to determine whether or not you have sleep apnea or another type of sleep disorder. If sleep apnea is determined, you may be asked to do further sleep testing in order to determine the best treatment option. What to Expect During a Sleep Study On the night of your sleep study if you are in a sleep center lab, you will be assigned to a private bedroom in the sleep center or hospital.

As you pointed out, it depends on the capacity of the rail car and the weight of the crude. The lightest oils weigh 295#/barrel and the heaviest oils weigh 370#/barrel, so there is quite a range. Bakken oil weighs around 305#/barrel (7.26#/gallon).

The recordings become data that a qualified sleep specialist analyzes to figure out if you have a sleep disorder. There are four kinds of sleep studies. Diagnostic overnight PSG is general monitoring of sleep and a variety of body functions during sleep, including breathing patterns, oxygen levels in the blood, heart rhythms, and limb movements Diagnostic daytime multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) is used to diagnose narcolepsy and to measure the degree of daytime sleepiness. It measures how quickly you fall asleep in quiet situations during the day. It also monitors how quickly and how often you enter REM sleep. To ensure accurate results, it's performed on the morning following a diagnostic overnight PSG. Two-night evaluation PSG and CPAP titration. On the first night, you'll have general monitoring and diagnostic evaluation. If sleep apnea is discovered, you'll come back for a second night to determine the right air pressure for CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) treatment." }, { "docid": "D3127710#0", "title": "http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/test_procedures/pulmonary/sleep_study_92,P09032\nSleep Study", "text": "<< Back to Pulmonary Tests and Procedures What is a sleep study? The stages of sleep range from light to deep. Each stage has characteristics that can be measured. A sleep study is a number of tests done at the same time during sleep. The tests measure specific sleep characteristics and help to diagnose sleep disorders. A sleep study may also be called polysomnogram. The basic recordings done during a sleep study may include: Electroencephalography (EEG). This measures brain wave activity. Electrooculogram (EOG). This measures eye movement." }, { "docid": "D3287727#0", "title": "https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1139692-overview\nNeonatal EEG", "text": "Neonatal EEGOver the past several decades, electroencephalography (EEG) in newborn infants has become valuable as a serial, noninvasive screening tool for infants at high risk of perinatal injuries. The brain dynamics and connectivity in different states (awake or asleep) can be defined, and a whole range of acute or chronic cerebral disorders can be identified. Such information often reveals presymptomatic or subclinical conditions. The EEG prognostic value at the time of continuous development is often greater than at a later stage. EEG testing can provide reassurance to the physician and parents at a time of potential catastrophic damage. The continuous changes that occur during early brain development are often associated with striking changes in EEG patterns over short periods. This makes it difficult to interpret EEG results, which can discourage the use of EEG testing. Given the close relationships between certain morphological aspects of the developing brain and EEG results, gestational age can be reliably estimated (to ±1 wk) by EEG criteria. In fact, CNS development of the immature brain proceeds at about the same rate during fetal development as in the postnatal environment. The physiological substrate for these early EEG patterns is unknown, but is probably derived from cortical generators that are strongly influenced by subcortical (primarily thalamic) afferent input." }, { "docid": "D2228404#0", "title": "http://www.king.stokes.k12.nc.us/index.html\n.", "text": "Thank you to the King Rotary Club for donating new books to our library collection, and a special THANK YOU for adopting Mrs. Bennett's 1st grade class this year.

Share Email Print Feedback Introduction/ Historical Perspective This article is based on the updated 2016 American Academy of Sleep Medicine Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events. [ 1] This manual represents the evolution and development of the 2007 AASM manual which was itself a restructuring, consolidation, and standardization of the original Rechtshaffen and Kales sleep scoring manual of 1968, commonly known as the \"\"R and K\"\" rules. [ 2]Prior to the R and K rules, electroencephalographic (EEG) recording revealed distinct brain rhythms uniquely seen during sleep but were yet to be universally defined and categorized. Loomis and colleagues [ 3] noted fragmentation and fallout of alpha rhythm with sleep onset, the appearances of sleep spindles, K complexes and high amplitude slow waves. Sleep was divided into five stages (A-E), with later stages possessing more slow-frequency and high-amplitude waves [ 3]. The discovery of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep by Kleitman and Dement in 1957 [ 4] led to a classification of sleep stages that included REM sleep. In 1968, Rechtschaffen and Kales convened a panel of experts to agree on a standardized manual for the scoring of sleep stages, which were then divided into wakefulness, stage 1-4 (non-REM), and REM. At least one EEG lead was recommended (C3 or C4 referenced to the opposite ear or mastoid) as well as two electrooculogram (EOG) leads and a submental electromyography (EMG) lead. The R and K rules recommended dividing the polysomnographic record of sleep into thirty second epochs, commencing at the start of the study. Historically, the 30-second interval was used because at a paper speed of 10 mm/s, ideal for viewing alpha and spindles, one page equates to thirty seconds. Each epoch was assigned a stage and if two or more stages coexist during a single epoch the stage comprising the majority of the thirty seconds was scored." }, { "docid": "D1234193#0", "title": "http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/EOG\nEOG", "text": "EOGAlso found in: Medical, Encyclopedia .

My lips aren't chapped or dry, I'm getting plenty of saturated fats & liquids, and I'm using lip balms to prevent the flakiness - ranging from straight coconut oil to Moist Stic (w/coconut & tea tree oils) to a Burt's Bees tinted lip balm to one from Now (also with aloe/coconut oil/Vitamin E) that I just bought today. ( Don't use petroleum-based or chemically-laden products, to my knowledge, anyway! ) I'm 95% Paleo - use dairy only as heavy cream in coffee or plain greek yogurt with walnuts occasionally, and am also supplementing daily: fish oil, Vitamins B, C, D, K, L-Carnitine & NAC (latter two just added within the last month). Just added Kelp today, thinking this might be another sign of an iodine deficiency (since I'm not getting iodine in my preferred kosher salt & am no longer eating prepared foods. ) Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

It thickens the oil portion of solid products (like lipsticks), giving them structure and keeping them solid. It stiffens eye makeup products without hardening them. When used in mascaras it provides the main body of the product and gives it smudge-proof and waterproof properties. It is also an emollient that smooths and softens the skin.

Sure, I’d hastily scrub ’em down with a damp washcloth from time to time whenever they felt a little flaky or before I applied a particularly unforgiving matte lipstick, but I’d always been more focused on exfoliating my face and body. Lips? Not so much. But this winter, I found my lips chapped in a way they had never been previously. They’ve always been prone to dryness, but this was next-level, and didn’t let up no matter how frequently I layered on the balm ( or which balm I used ). Obviously I loved it, because what’s not to love about raw, cracked, peeling, straight-up painful lips? In the end, it wasn’t my favorite $45 lip balmthat saved me. It was a dry toothbrush rubbed aggressively against my compromised, balm-coated lips. It’s true, you guys—to properly, adequately moisturize chapped lips, you need to get rid of the flakes and dead skin cells before your hydrating balms can really get in there, because otherwise the balm just sits on top of the sad situation." }, { "docid": "D3477906#0", "title": "https://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/home.html\nNew Kelloggâs NYC Café opens!", "text": "Get ready for a breakfast odyssey!This cereal has a Super Mario twist – the box is a limited edition amiibo™ accessory!

Lip balm or lip salve is a wax-like substance applied to soothe chapped and dry lips, offer protection and add a bit of color to the lips without giving that sticky sensation experienced on applying a lip gloss. They were first introduced in the 1880’s by Charles Browne Fleet, who is also known for creating chap sticks. The evolution of smooth lip balms, better known as EOS lip balms took the world by storm with its innovative range of lip salve. Its original, unique and adorable sphere case packing in vibrant colours, the amazing flavours available, and the deep moisturizing effect on the lips made it an instant favourite across the globe. This affordably priced lip balm nourishes and hydrates the lips with natural and organic ingredients like Shea Butter, Jojoba oil etc. Lips lose moisture and get dehydrated as a result of exposure to dry air and cold temperatures. The occlusive material and Vitamin E content in this balm helps to hydrate the lips by sealing in the moisture in them, nourishing the skin and protecting it against unfavourable external conditions. These lip balms are hence the perfect cosmetic to suit the regular moisturizing needs of the lips while the colorants, flavouring agents, sunscreens and different medicaments provide extra benefits to the lips, making them look healthy, lustrous and smooth. The only problem attributed to these eos lip balms is the difficulty in carriage due to their round case packing, which is also known to be the unique selling property of this lip balm." }, { "docid": "D1099234#0", "title": "https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120128213813AA0UqqK\nMaybelline baby lips?", "text": "Beauty & Style Makeup Maybelline baby lips?

Home based treatments range from home remedies like coconut oil to supplements that support healthy skin. What Causes Cracked Lips? The lips do not contain oil glands like most other parts of the skin or body. Without oil glands, the lips are more prone to drying out and chapping or cracking. Additional factors contribute to this drying out including cold or dry weather, lack of self-care or hygiene, overexposure to the sun and frequent licking of the lips. Certain medications and supplements may also increase the risk of developing chapped lips including retinoids, lithium, chemotherapy drugs and vitamin A. Dehydration and malnutrition also contribute to the development of chapped lips. Home Remedies for Dry Cracked Lips Dry cracked lips are often easily treated using home remedies.

Why would a product have the opposite effect of its intended use? Well it many not be as ludicrous as it seems. Chapstick companies make more money when you have chapped lips, so why fix the problem? According to Caitlin Covington of Greatist.com, applying lip balm to ones lips only temporarily soothes them but had a negative effect on your lip’s health in the long run. The lip balm interferes with the signaling between the dying cells and the mechanism that produces new healthy cells. As a result, the lips are prevented from replenishing the cells and healing your chapped lips. This makes the chapped lips worse causing you to again apply chapstick. This process repeats over and over and your lips become more chapped than they were before you started using the product. Dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD blames the negative effects of chapstick on hyaluronic acid and glycerin, both common ingredients in products for chapped lips." }, { "docid": "D905881#0", "title": "http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Dermatology/tiny-bumps-on-lips/show/719029\ntiny bumps on lipsamesw Dec 23, 2008", "text": "\"tiny bumps on lipsamesw Dec 23, 2008I suddenly have developed tiny bumps on my upper lip.

Flag What does the term 'EP' mean in music? Answer by Readin Eddie Confidence votes 600EP stands for \"\"extended play\"\" as EP records are longer than original single 45 records, usually containing 4 tracks. Artists usually release an EP before the full album to give the fans a taste of what is coming. The EP may include anywhere from 2 to 10 songs depending on the length of the full album. A good example of an EP containing 4 tracks was the Beatles' 'Twist and Shout (EP)'. The EP format is also used as a low-cost way of showcasing new artists. Historically, EP records were often similar to seven inch single records but played at 33 1/3 rpm rather than 45 rpm.132 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Then follow me (opens in a new window) for regular updates and discussions!If you’ve been in the music industry for any length of time, you’ve probably heard the terms “LP” and “EP” before. But what exactly do these terms mean, and what is their significance? This is something you should definitely be aware of as an artist, so let’s take a look. The Origin Of LPs & EPs First of all, it’s important to understand that the terms “LP” and “EP” originally came from the vinyl record format. The interesting part is that the term “LP” isn’t really in common use any more, while the term “EP” is still used to describe a release that’s about three to five songs in length, roughly half of what a full-length album would typically be. You could even call it a “mini album”. This isn’t what the term EP actually means, but we’ll talk more about that in a moment.

The show remains a tossup for now, with another week or two’s worth of data needed to really see where it’s headed. In this strange broadcast world, however, where shows with sub-1.0 ratings on Big Four networks still have a chance at renewal — an unthinkable idea even two years ago — staying above that line probably counts for something. “The Catch” also has the fact that it comes from ABC’s most valuable producer in its favor." }, { "docid": "D2375398#0", "title": "http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/musings/polyethylene-under-concrete-slabs\nPolyethylene Under Concrete Slabs", "text": "\"5 Helpful? Polyethylene Under Concrete Slabs Does the poly vapor barrier belong above the rigid foam or below the rigid foam? Posted on Jul 4 2014 by Martin Holladay From the bottom up, here’s how the layers should go: Crushed stone; rigid foam; polyethylene; concrete. What goes under the concrete in a slab-on-grade home? In the old days, not much — just dirt. Eventually, contractors discovered that it made sense to include a 4-inch-thick layer of crushed stone under the concrete. The crushed stone provides a capillary break that reduces the amount of moisture flowing upward from the damp soil to the permeable concrete. Since the crushed stone layer provides a fairly uniform substrate, it also may also reduce the chance that a concrete slab will be poorly supported by random pockets of soft, easily compressible soil. Eventually, polyethylene was invented. Concrete contractors learned that a layer of poly helps to keep a slab dry, because it stops upward vapor diffusion from the soil." }, { "docid": "D1514006#0", "title": "http://www.moneycontrol.com/glossary/stocks/yield_3763.html\nStocks", "text": "Stocks Financial Glossary IPO Mutual Funds Insurance Commodity Tax More A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZYield This is the measure of the return on an investment and is shown as a percentage.

When executives destroy the value they are supposed to be creating, they almost always claim that stock market pressure made them do it. The reality is that the shareholder value principle has not failed management; rather, it is management that has betrayed the principle. In the 1990s, for example, many companies introduced stock options as a major component of executive compensation. The idea was to align the interests of management with those of shareholders. But the generous distribution of options largely failed to motivate value-friendly behavior because their design almost guaranteed that they would produce the opposite result. To start with, relatively short vesting periods, combined with a belief that short-term earnings fuel stock prices, encouraged executives to manage earnings, exercise their options early, and cash out opportunistically. The common practice of accelerating the vesting date for a CEO’s options at retirement added yet another incentive to focus on short-term performance. Of course, these shortcomings were obscured during much of that decade, and corporate governance took a backseat as investors watched stock prices rise at a double-digit clip. The climate changed dramatically in the new millennium, however, as accounting scandals and a steep stock market decline triggered a rash of corporate collapses." }, { "docid": "D2846212#0", "title": "http://www.moneycontrol.com/glossary/stocks/when-issued-trading_3758.html\nStocks", "text": "\"Stocks Financial Glossary IPO Mutual Funds Insurance Commodity Tax More A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZWhen-Issued Trading Occurs when the security has been listed and posted for trading, but the certificate representing the security itself is not yet issued and available for settlement.

How to Get Started Creating Your Own Extended Play Record Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Heather Mc Donald Updated April 22, 2017EP stands for \"\"extended play record\"\" or simply \"\"extended play.\"\" An EP is a compilation of songs often created for promotional use and covers the middle ground between a single and a full-length album. EPs are usually around 4 to 6 songs in length and are generally made using original tracks never released before by an artist. What Is an EP Used For? Musicians release EPs for many reasons, but they are most frequently used as promotional tools. EPs are used to introduce new bands, to keep interest in an artist alive between full-length releases, to help promote a tour, as giveaways and incentives for joining mailing lists or buying concert tickets, and more. Some of the other reasons artists create EPs include: EPs can be a solution for artists who want to release something more than a single but can't afford the studio time to record a full-length album. EPs can fit enough music to be a more complete project than a single but are still short enough to require less studio time than a 10-to-12 song full-length album. Some musicians use EPs to experiment with new music styles or dabble in less commercial sounds than their full-length albums feature." }, { "docid": "D195867#0", "title": "http://www.thelogofactory.com/logo-file-formats-a-diy-design-clients-guide/\nLogo file formats.

Early signs are subtle, seen only as increased drinking and urination. More advanced signs are weight loss, poor appetite, vomiting, and dull coat. Problems occur as the kidneys can no longer reabsorb water, leading to excessive urination and chronic dehydration. As problems progress, the kidneys cannot handle the breakdown products of excess protein, leading to the buildup of toxins in the blood (azotemia). This is reflected in an increased BUN and creatinine on blood work. The goals of therapy for renal failure are to increase hydration, decrease the buildup of toxins in the blood, treat any possible underlying reversible disease (infection, hyperthyroidism), maintain good blood flow to the kidneys, and minimize any further damage. Diet is a key component of the health program for a cat with kidney disease, but the goals may not be quite what you have been told. In my opinion, the most basic first step in mild to moderate cases is to increase water consumption. This means avoiding dry food (the reason here being that cats on dry food tend to be chronically dehydrated, but there is another important reason regarding protein sources which we will discuss in just a bit)." }, { "docid": "D1704533#0", "title": "https://www.reference.com/pets-animals/mean-cat-losing-hair-its-tail-3b83928bcee56eb2\nWhat Does It Mean If a Cat Is Losing Hair on Its Tail?", "text": "Pets & Animals Pets Cats Q: What Does It Mean If a Cat Is Losing Hair on Its Tail?

My Cat has Blood in its Stool – What Should I Do? By Staff 25794It can be terrifying to discover that your cat has blood in its stool. The presence of blood in the stool, or “hematochezia” can be a result of a minor intestinal upset, or a symptom of many more serious medical conditions. Bleeding in the lower intestines, such as the colon and the rectum, generally causes hematochezia. It is characterized by the presence of bright, frank blood in the feces. Hematochezia should not be confused with melena, the passage of dark, tar-colored feces, caused by bleeding that occurs higher up in the intestinal tract. If your cat has blood in its stool on only one occasion, and otherwise appears to be eating, drinking and acting normally, the cause may simply be a minor gastrointestinal upset, such as eating too much, eating a unfamiliar food, or eating something that does not agree with him. Some cats are especially sensitive to stress, and any sudden change in environment, such as adding a new pet to the household, having a baby or even a schedule change can induce colitis. Changing food brands suddenly can also cause this condition, as cats often require a gradual change of food in order to adjust without complications." }, { "docid": "D3007111#0", "title": "http://www.thundershirt.com/faq/\nFrequently Asked Questions", "text": "\"All of Thunder Works' solutions are designed to be simple, effective, and safe for many of the most common problems faced by families with dogs and cats.

Cats have a variety of ways to let us know what they need (or want)!Starre Vartan May 28, 2014, 4:49 a.m.2.7k Tweet755Photo: Utekhina Anna /Shutterstock For some reason, I have always been lucky to have very vocal cats in my life; I grew up with a small herd of Siamese, who are known to be some of the most talkative of all, but other cats I've lived with have also been quite chatty. So I loved MNN writer Laura Moss' great article about different types of cat vocalizations and what they mean. After spending a month away from my current kitty, Penelope, while I was traveling throughout Mexico, I returned to find her very excited to see me — and meowing more than ever. As we spent some quality time re-bonding after my travels, and I got to thinking that not only do cat's other sounds (purring, yowling) have specific meanings, but there are a wide variety of types of meows as well, which generally track across the cats I've known. Of course, there are unique kitties out there who might not fit into the categories below, but same goes for humans and communication, right?

In addition to time in school, physicians are required to do an internship, and the majority also complete a residency in a specialty following that.

Therefore can that they can cal themselves a EPCm company… But then again would that company just be a sub-contractor to the main contractor… Mu understanding is EPC is the Engineering, Procurement and Construction, direct hire purposes.. No subcontract… EPCm is management of subcontractors… Any better explanations will be grateful Thanks in advance …Ashereng (Petroleum) 1 Mar 06 10:30There is no absolute definition. Most large consulting companies call them selves EPC and/or EPCM. Think Bechtel, Fluor, Jacobs, Kellogg, etc. They all act as the main contractor, sub-contractor - often at the same time, on different projects in-house, and to/with each other. It's one of those industry jargon acronyms that people throw around, and most don't really know its exact definition/meaning, and now, it doesn't have an exact definition/meaning.4 dbuzz (Structural) 2 Mar 06 21:52They are different contracting strategies. EPC means the company is contracted to provide engineering, procurement and construction services.

Structural Engineer Employment Information Structural Engineer Jobs Overview When a construction project is underway, structural engineers work alongside architects and builders to ensure that the building or structure is safe to suit the purpose it was designed for. From houses and office buildings to bridges and utility systems, structural engineers play a key role in the construction process, ensuring that each structure is built to stand up to weather conditions in the area as well as the weight that it will be required to bear in daily use. Extensive analysis is done in the planning stage, and as the project continues, the structural engineer remains involved to guarantee the integrity of the residential, commercial or public works project. Structural Engineer Education Structural engineers need a bachelor's degree in civil or architectural engineering. After obtaining the degree, an apprenticeship is usually required, and this can last between four and five years, including some formal classroom training. A certification is also necessary, and passing the test to obtain it is arguably the most difficult part of becoming a structural engineer. The exam can last as long as eight hours and consists of approximately 180 questions covering the full range of engineering topics. Structural Engineering Job Market Although in some regions of the U. S. the construction industry suffered during the recession, the job market for structural engineer jobs is growing bright.

Shares were changing hands at around $15.67 in late afternoon trade – a far cry from the $54.19 the shares hit in 2007. In fact, shares in Worley Parsons have been sliding from $30 in 2011, as the company has been hit by falling earnings thanks mainly to the declining Australian resources infrastructure market. A fact, Bradken Limited (ASX: BKN) and Austin Engineering Ltd (ASX: ANG) can attest to, as we noted in this earlier article. Ongoing restructuring costs have dogged Worley Parsons for some time now, forcing the company to announce a restructure of its businesses, at a cost of around $35 million. In the last half, Worley Parsons announced it was reducing staff by more than 500, although the company still employs a whopping 37,500 people across 43 countries. And the share price has slipped today, despite the company announcing that it had been awarded a significant five year contract for the supply of engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services to a natural gas pipeline in Eastern Europe. The company did not say what the contract was worth, but the total project is estimated to cost US$11.7 billion.

Unfortunately, there are no tried and true definitions for the different methods and numerous variations of each of the most popular methods. Determining the correct form of construction contract to pursue can have a great effect on the cost and risk associated with the construction project. The cost of construction varies inversely with the amount of business risk the “owner / financers” are willing to accept. The less business risk the owner wishes to assume, the higher the cost of construction and management. This follows the “risk-reward” motto for business. The two most common types of construction contacts are EPC “turn-key” and EPCM. Each of these methods have variations that can be adapted to each project as needed; example (EPCC Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning), etc. EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction): means the company is contracted to provide engineering, procurement and construction services by the owner. Think Design & Construct style contracts, where the project is largely Contractor managed and the cost risk and control are weighted towards the Contractor and away from the Owner." } ]

The word derives from the New Latin noun epicentrum, the latinisation of the ancient Greek adjective ἐπίκεντρος, \"\"occupying a cardinal point, situated on a centre\"\", from ἐπί \"\"on, upon, at\"\" and κέντρον \"\"centre\"\". In the case of earthquakes, the epicenter is directly above the point where the fault begins to rupture, and in most cases, it is the area of greatest damage. However, in larger events, the length of the fault rupture is much longer, and damage can be spread across the rupture zone. For example, in the magnitude 7.9, 2002 Denali earthquake in Alaska, the epicenter was at the western end of the rupture, but the greatest damage occurred about 330 km away at the eastern end of the rupture zone.

Magnitude is a measure of the total energy released during an earthquake. It is determined from a seismogram, which plots the ground motion produced by seismic waves. As devised by C. F. Richter in 1935, the magnitude scale allows us to compare earthquakes in relative terms. Though the term is used somewhat indiscriminately, magnitude is a highly technical calculation. Magnitude is defined as the logarithm (1 micron=.0001 centimeter), as would be recorded by a standard short-period seismograph with specific constants, at an epicentral distance of 100 kilometers (62 miles). The important thing to remember about magnitude is that the scale is logarithmic, which means that each step in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in amplitude of wave motion. Therefore, an earthquake of magnitude 6.0 has ten times the wave amplitude of an earthquake of magnitude 5.0, a hundred times the wave amplitude of a magnitude 4.0 earthquake, and one thousand times the wave amplitude of a magnitude 3.0 earthquake. Because magnitude does not describe the extent of the damage, its usefulness is limited to an approximation of whether the earthquake is large, small, or medium-sized. The destructiveness of an earthquake is a complex matter, related to the geology, population density, and cultural features of a specific area at a specific distance from the epicenter." }, { "docid": "D1082033#0", "title": "http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Seismographic+Station\nSeismographic Station", "text": "\"Seismographic Station The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979).

Earthquakes occur because of a sudden release of stored energy. This energy has built up over long periods of time as a result of tectonic forces within the earth. Most earthquakes take place along faults in the upper 25 miles of the earth's surface when one side rapidly moves relative to the other side of the fault. This sudden motion causes shock waves (seismic waves) to radiate from their point of origin called the focus and travel through the earth. It is these seismic waves that can produce ground motion which people call an earthquake. Each year there are thousands of earthquakes that can be felt by people and over one million that are strong enough to be recorded by instruments.

The shock had a moment magnitude of 9.1–9.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX ( Violent ). The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000–280,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. It is the third-largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph and had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. [ 10] It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) [11] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.

Digital seismogram image of five seismic sensors which detected the magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Moe in Victoria on 19 June 2012. Earthquakes are detected by scientific instruments called seismometers. The word seismo originates from the Greek word seismos which means to shake or move violently and was later applied to the science and equipment associated with earthquakes. Seismographs, such as the Teledyne Geotech Helicorder pictured, were used in the past to detect earthquake activity and relied on a mechanical system to record the seismic energy in the Earth onto paper. In contrast, modern seismometers detect and convert any small movement in the Earth into an electrical signal for use in computer systems, as shown in the digital seismogram image of five seismic sensors which detected the magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Moe in Victoria on 19 June 2012. Determining the location of an earthquake The accurate locations of seismometers are stored in a database accessible by an earthquake monitoring computer system. The system also has access to crustal velocity models which provide approximate information on how fast the various earthquake waves travel through the different layers which make up the Earth in the area between the earthquake and the seismometers. The times at which the differing seismic waves arrive at various seismometers are identified by Seismic Analysts or by a computer system. The arrival times of the seismic waves at the seismometers, together with the locations of the seismometers and the speed at which the seismic waves travel to the seismometers are all used to determine the location of the earthquake." }, { "docid": "D3104875#0", "title": "http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/education/faqs/faq15.html\nWhat is earthquake magnitude?", "text": "What is earthquake magnitude? It is a measure of earthquake size and is determined from the logarithm of the maximum displacement or amplitude of the earthquake signal as seen on the seismogram, with a correction for the distance between the focus and the seismometer. This is necessary as the closer the seismometer is to the earthquake, the larger the amplitude on the seismogram, irrespective of the size or magnitude of the event. Since the measurement can be made from P, S or surface waves, several different scales exist, all of which are logarithmic because of the large range of earthquake energies (for example a magnitude 6 ML is 30 times larger, in terms of energy than a magnitude 5 ML). The Richter local magnitude (ML) is defined to be used for 'local' earthquakes up to 600 km away, and is the magnitude scale used by BGS when locating UK earthquakes. Surface wave magnitude (Ms) is based on the maximum amplitude of the surface wave having a period of 20 + 2 s. It is used for observations near the earthquake epicentre where the surface wave is larger than the body wave. This scale applies to any epicentral distance or type of seismograph. Body wave magnitude (mb) is calculated from the body waves (P,PP,S) and are usually used at larger distance from the earthquake epicentre (P-wave attenuation is less than surface waves, with distance). It can be used for any earthquake of any depth. Moment magnitude (Mw) is considered the best scale to use for larger earthquakes as the Ms saturates at about magnitude 8." }, { "docid": "D1161242#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_point_on_the_earth's_surface_directly_above_an_earthquake's_focus\nWhat is the point on the earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus?", "text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Earth Sciences Natural Disasters Earthquakes Flag Share In Earthquakes What is the point on the earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus?

In the first two categories, the phrases \"\"too little hormone\"\" and \"\"too much hormone\"\" here mean too little or too much for any given physiological situation. For example, as we shall see, insulin secretion decreases during fasting, and this decrease is an adaptive physiological response, not too little insulin. In contrast, insulin secretion should increase after eating, and if its increase is less than normal, this is too little hormone secretion. Hyposecretion An endocrine gland may be secreting too little hormone because the gland is not able to function normally. This is termed primary hyposecretion. Examples of primary hyposecretion include (1) genetic absence of a steroid-forming enzyme in the adrenal cortex, leading to decreased cortisol secretion, and (2) dietary deficiency of iodine leading to decreased secretion of thyroid hormones. There are many other causes—infections, toxic chemicals, and so on—all having the common denominator of damaging the endocrine gland. In contrast to primary hyposecretion, a gland may be secreting too little hormone not because the gland is abnormal but because there is not enough of its tropic hormone.

The sympathetic nervous system is the part of the autonomic nervous system that originates in the thoracic (chest) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spinal cord and regulates involuntary reactions to stress. It stimulates the heartbeat, sweating, breathing rate, and other stress-related body processes. Purpose Adrenergic drugs have many uses. They are used to increase the output of the heart, to raise blood pressure, and to increase urine flow as part of the treatment of shock. Adrenergics are also used as heart stimulants. They may be given to a patient to reverse the drop in blood pressure that is sometimes caused by general anesthesia. They may be used to stop bleeding by causing the blood vessels to constrict, and to keep local anesthetics in a small area of the body by closing off the nearby blood vessels that would otherwise spread the anesthetic to other parts of the body.

Indolamines Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT); is the principal member of this group of compounds. The name serotonin is derived from the fact that this substance was first isolated from the serum based on its ability to cause an increase in blood pressure. Melatonin, a second indolamine, is restricted to the pineal and is released into the blood stream in a manner that is regulated by the diurnal cycle. Melatonin will not be covered further in this chapter. Histamine Histamine has been recognized as a neurotransmitter in the CNS only within the past fifteen years.

As noted earlier, ligand binding to these receptors activates their associated G protein, which then activates an effector enzyme to generate an intracellular second messenger (see Figure 20-3a ). All G protein – coupled receptors (GPCRs) contain seven membrane -spanning regions with their N-terminal segment on the exoplasmic face and their C-terminal segment on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane ( Figure 20-10 ). This large receptor family includes light-activated receptors (rhodopsins) in the eye and literally thousands of odorant receptors in the mammalian nose (Section 21.6), as well as numerous receptors for various hormones and neurotransmitters (Section 21.5). Although these receptors are activated by different ligands and may mediate different cellular responses, they all mediate a similar signaling pathway (see Figure 20-6 ).

Cholinergic receptors were originally divided and named on the basis of sensitivity to alkaloids that mimicked some, but not all, of the actions of ACh. These alkaloids are present in the fly agaric mushroom, Amanita muscaria, and in the tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum. The alkaloids are muscarine and nicotine, respectively. Thus, cholinergic receptors are broadly classified as muscarinic (m ACh R) or nicotinic (n ACh R). The 3-dimensional structures of muscarine and nicotine molecules are fairly rigid and differ significantly. By contrast, ACh can assume 3-dimensional structures that are similar to muscarine on the one hand and nicotine on the other hand. Thus, one neurotransmitter molecule can interact with quite different receptor proteins, based on its molecular flexibility.

Its function is to aid in the regulation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system. At times when a person is highly stimulated, as by fear, anger, or some challenging situation, extra amounts of epinephrineare released into the bloodstream, preparing the body for energetic action. Epinephrine is a powerfulvasopressor that increases blood pressure and increases the heart rate and cardiac output. It alsoincreases glycogenolysis and the release of glucose from the liver, so that a person has a suddenlyincreased feeling of muscular strength and aggressiveness.ƒSome disorders of the adrenal glands, such as addison's disease, reduce the output of epinephrinebelow normal. By contrast, excessive activity of those glands, as sometimes seen in highlyemotional persons, tends to produce tenseness, palpitation, high blood pressure, perhaps diarrhea,and overaggressiveness.

Over the years general agreement evolved that several criteria should be met for a substance to be designated a neurotransmitter:1. A neurotransmitter must be synthesized by and released from neurons. Thus, the presynaptic neuron should contain both the transmitter and the appropriate enzymes needed to synthesize that neurotransmitter.2. The substance should be released from nerve terminals in a chemically or pharmacologically identifiable form. It should therefore be possible to isolate the transmitter and characterize its structure.3. A neurotransmitter should reproduce at the postsynaptic cell the specific events (such as changes in membrane properties) that are seen after stimulation of the presynaptic neuron.4. The effects of a putative neurotransmitter should be blocked by competitive antagonists of the receptor for that transmitter in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, treatments that inhibit synthesis of the transmitter should block the effects of presynaptic stimulation.5.

Share Jul 1, 2015Answer: I think answer \"\"F: None of the above\"\" would be the best option, but the best from this list is B: Element . Explanation: It can't be a mixture of anything, homogenous or heterogenous as all substances in a mix have (at least a little bit of) different properties. Besides if it's uniform throughout it isn't heterogenous. At first sight it might be a compound, lots of (organic) compounds do however decompose when they are heated a lot (think about cracking of oil distillation products). Simply put, elements can't change into other substances or compounds through physical processes. If you have 1 kg of potassium you can't turn it into anything else but just potassium without other chemicals (this isn't entirely true, there are physical processes like fission and fusion that can turn elements into others which is definitely not chemistry)." }, { "docid": "D3271197#0", "title": "https://sassytownhouseliving.com/what-does-it-mean-to-have-an-epiphany/\nWhat Does It Mean To Have An Epiphany?", "text": "What Does It Mean To Have An Epiphany?by Sassy Townhouse Living Articles Sassy Townhouse Living Pinterest Facebook Twitter Stumble Upon Google+ Amazon Wish List Flipboard Yummly Print Share What does it mean to have an epiphany?

The decision to call it \"\"After Apple Picking\"\" is telling. The use of the term after conveys a sense of ambiguity and finality- it refers to an obscure period after a definite action. The poem is thus set up as an ambiguous one. Furthermore, the \"\"apple\"\" is introduced as a principal image in the poem. Thus readers are led to visualize the consequences of apple picking and to anticipate the metaphorical allusion of \"\"Apple Picking\"\", readied for the ambiguity of the indeterminate \"\"After\"\".

Literature, the movies, and music often refer to the coming of age theme and the problems or challenges associated with the transition. There are many different ways to define the expression \"\"of age.\"\" For example: Confirmation of an individual as a responsible adult within a religious community;Puberty (or, in some cases, loss of virginity);Acquiring a legally significant age (in the United States, either 18 or 21);Experiencing a moment of epiphany in which childhood is set aside;Taking responsibility for oneself and one's personal choices.

Kinney, University of Massachusetts at Amherst Faulkner's most extended narrative of black life in Yoknapatawpha is remarkable for its tones and tensions, ranging from the ingenuity and hilarity of trickster tales to an examination of family and racial relationships that is powerfully wrenching. A chapter of Go Down, Moses, \"\"The Fire and the Hearth\"\" draws on two previous short stories, \"\"A Point of Law\"\" and \"\"Gold Is Not Always\"\" and, in its final, amalgamated form is essential to understanding Faulkner because it is his first serious exploration of African American life in the American South through history: the legacy of enslavement of blacks; their hunger for the liberty of an emancipation they are ill trained to manage; and their various attempts to forge a new life and lineage of purpose and dignity. The work's protagonist Lucas Beauchamp, the mulatto grandson of the great white plantation owner Lucius Quintus Carothers Mc Caslin, whose name he takes and corrupts, is loosely based on Faulkner's own loyal family servant Ned Barnett. But in Faulkner's attempt to record the public view of blacks alongside the urgent desire to understand them despite his limited but compassionate white perspective, Faulkner exposes the pressing needs and fierce limitations of man's need to know and the artist's imagination to reveal. Faulkner's solution as in the contemporary novel If I Forget Thee Jerusalem (The Wild Palms)- is to work in counterpoint, moving from prejudicial racial stereotypes (such as the cunning charlatan) to the individual family tragedy (where merged bloodlines complicate ancestry). By proposing that each perspective holds some truth and cannot be ignored, he accumulates a kind of double consciousness in the reader that forces each of us to come to our own understanding of the assorted but necessary materials he provides. \"\" First, in order to take care of George Wilkins once and for all, [Lucas] had to hide his own still\"\" and expose George's as a decoy (33): \"\"The Fire and the Hearth\"\" begins with a light hearted competition that will grow grim, a competition based in cunning and deceit, dismantling tricks in the dark of night. Lucas is \"\"the oldest living person on the Edmonds plantation, the oldest Mc Caslin descendant even though in the world's eye he descended not from Mc Caslin but from Mc Caslin slaves\"\" (36). He tells himself he is not worried about George, \"\"a fool living on the same place he lived on\"\" (35), but of his cousin Edmonds a white man on the distaff side of the family and overseer of the Mc Caslin land. Lucas was born in 1874 and now, at 67, exhausted farming cotton by day and moonshining at night: by day a hard field worker and by night an entrepreneurial scalawag." }, { "docid": "D698883#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/8728095/basic-literary-terms-review-flash-cards/\nBasic Literary Terms Review", "text": "\"44 terms drmperez Basic Literary Terms Review Literary Terms Review from Middle School for ESL students at the Secondary School level.

What Is Epiphany? Epiphany, also known as \"\"Three Kings Day\"\" and \"\"Twelfth Day,\"\" is a Christian holiday commemorated on January 6. It falls on the twelfth day after Christmas, and for some denominations signals the conclusion of the Christmas season. ( The 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany are known as the “Twelve Days of Christmas. ”)Though many different cultural and denominational customs are practiced, in general, the feast celebrates the manifestation of God to the world in the form of human flesh through Jesus Christ, his Son. Epiphany originated in the East. In Eastern Christianity, Epiphany puts emphasis on the baptism of Jesus by John (Matthew 3:13-17; Mark 1:9-11; Luke 3:21-22), with Christ revealing himself to the world as God's own Son: In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

C. — is remembered as one of early history's most brutally violent rulers of the region, though also later turned to a life of Buddhist nonviolence after witnessing the devastation of his attack against the Kalinga region. The story of this conversion and many others about a great emperor called Ashoka appear in ancient Sanskrit literature, including the \"\"Ashokavadana,\"\" \"\"Divyavandana,\"\" and \"\"Mahvamsa.\"\" For many years, westerners considered them to be mere legend. They did not connect the ruler Ashoka, grandson of Chandragupta Maurya, to the stone pillars inscribed with edicts that are sprinkled all around the edges of India. In 1915, however, archaeologists found a pillar inscription that identified the author of those edicts, the well-known Mauryan emperor Piyadasi or Priyadarsi — meaning \"\"Beloved of the Gods\"\" — by his given name: Ashoka. The virtuous emperor from the ancient texts, and the law-giver who ordered the installation of pillars inscribed with merciful laws all over the subcontinent — they were the same man. Ashoka's Early Life In 304 B. C., the second emperor of the Mauryan Dynasty, Bindusara, welcomed a son named Ashoka Bindusara Maurya into the world. The boy's mother Dharma was only a commoner and had several older children — half-brothers of Ashoka — so Ashoka seemed unlikely to ever rule. Ashoka grew up to be a bold, troublesome and cruel young man who was always extremely fond of hunting — according to legend, he even killed a lion using only a wooden stick." }, { "docid": "D3170730#0", "title": "http://www.wordreference.com/definition/epiphany\n.", "text": "Word Reference Random House Unabridged Dictionary of American English © 2018e•piph•a•ny (i pif ′ ə nē),n., pl. -nies.

Jimmy Grace of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, 9600 South Gessner, leads a study of Cormac Mc Carthy's novel \"\"The Road\"\" for Lent. Lent is a time for forgoing worldly pleasures and opting to spend time in spiritual reflection and meditation. As Christians mark the period leading up to Easter — Ash Wednesday, which signals the start of Lent, is next week — some are turning to secular literature with strong religious themes to bring faith into focus. “Lives are so fast paced and subject to distraction, and just taking the time to do composed reading is dedicating to a calmer, quieter, more deliberate life in this season of penance,” said Clinton Brand, associate professor of English at the University of St. Thomas. “ The Lent season encourages contemplation, thought, and prayer, and literature ... can teach lessons of redemption as well as open a soul to transcendence. ”That was the idea behind the choice for a Lenten study group organized by the Rev. James Grace of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany. Though in the past he has chosen religious texts, this year's Lenten series will feature discussion of Cormac Mc Carthy 's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road. Grace was moved by the power and beauty of the message in this novel. “The 40-day season of Lent is the amount of time Jesus spent by himself in the wilderness, and in many ways the characters in The Road mirror Christ's journey,” Grace said. “ It is a beautiful story of a father and son traveling to the coast in a post-apocalyptic world, and you can allegorize that to God and his son Jesus walking through the wilderness." }, { "docid": "D1788795#0", "title": "https://socratic.org/questions/in-the-great-gatsby-what-metaphor-does-fitzgerald-use-to-convey-the-theme-of-hol\nIn âThe Great Gatsby,â what metaphor does Fitzgerald use to convey the theme of hollowness in the upper class?", "text": "\"In “The Great Gatsby,” what metaphor does Fitzgerald use to convey the theme of hollowness in the upper class?

He is popularly referred to as King Tut. His original name, Tutankhaten, means \"\"Living Image of Aten\"\", while Tutankhamun means \"\"Living Image of Amun\"\". In hieroglyphs, the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen-tut-ankh, because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence. He is possibly also the Nibhurrereya of the Amarna letters, and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who, according to Manetho, an ancient historian, had reigned for nine years—a figure that conforms with Flavius Josephus's version of Manetho's Epitome. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter and George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb received worldwide press coverage. It sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask remains the popular symbol. Exhibits of artifacts from his tomb have toured the world. In February 2010, the results of DNA tests confirmed that he was the son of Akhenaten and Akhenaten's sister and wife, whose name is unknown but whose remains are positively identified as \"\"The Younger Lady\"\" mummy found in KV35.

A ronin (浪人 ,rōnin?) was a samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the ruin or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege. Rōnin might be hired as yōjimbō (bodyguards or mercenary fighters) by villagers, merchants, or others in need of protection. In this way, many ronin were extended a respect equal to that of master-sponsored samurai by the general population; they were actually preferred by Zen masters, artists, and philosophers over the faceless samurai counterparts, who remained ultimately subservient to their Samauri masters.

An appraisal was done, the report was turned into the AMC, and this was the revision request: “A preliminary review of your appraisal indicates that the HOA fee was filled out, but the PUD box and PUD section was left blank.

The term originates in portraiture, where the character sketch is a common academic exercise. Following the translation of Theophrastus's Characters into English, a number of British and American painters attempted to illustrate the \"\"types\"\" of humanity. As late as William Hogarth, portraitists were doing studies of, Nine heads. The artist performing a character sketch attempts to capture an expression or gesture that goes beyond coincident actions and gets to the essence of the individual. The character sketch entered into literature in the early English novel. As Pat Rogers notes, Henry Fielding, in book I, chapter 14 of Joseph Andrews, invokes William Hogarth to create a character sketch of Mrs. Tow-wouse: \"\"Indeed, if Mrs. Tow-wouse had given no Utterance to the Sweetness of her Temper, Nature had taken such Pains in her Countenance, that Hogarth himself never gave more Expression to a Picture.\"\" In later literature, a character sketch became a short story or narrative presented without significant action or plot, as the purpose of the writing is solely to present a character at his or her typical." }, { "docid": "D440134#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/31991798/art-history-4-flash-cards/\nArt History #4", "text": "\"175 terms sidney_stephens Art History #4Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

Her dream is to win gold medals at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and in the process, to inspire others to focus on their abilities instead of their disabilities. “Through the sport of skiing, I’ve learned that anything is possible,” says Umstead, 42, who lives in Park City, Utah, and trains in Winter Park, Colorado. “ I can do anything; I just do it different from most people. ”Communicating through headsets in their helmets, Rob Umstead (front) guides his wife, Danelle, downhill during the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver, where the couple earned bronze medals.

He's challenging—not because he's a difficult person (quite the opposite), but because he has so many serious medical problems about which I can do so little. Why, then, does seeing him so consistently lighten my mood? Because it reminds me that for all the terrible things that go on—the abuse, the discrimination, the injustice, the downright nastiness—good still exists in the world. Because, you see, he's a hero. What makes him a hero isn't the consistent good cheer with which he faces the discomfort his illnesses cause him on a daily basis. What makes him a hero is that fifteen years ago, before he got sick, he donated one of his kidneys to his brother who had AIDS.

These events are referred to as Equinoxes. The word equinox is derived from two Latin words - aequus (equal) and nox (night). At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes. The \"\"nearly\"\" equal hours of day and night is due to refraction of sunlight or a bending of the light's rays that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of the sun is below the horizon. Additionally, the days become a little longer at the higher latitudes (those at a distance from the equator) because it takes the sun longer to rise and set. Therefore, on the equinox and for several days before and after the equinox, the length of day will range from about 12 hours and six and one-half minutes at the equator, to 12 hours and 8 minutes at 30 degrees latitude, to 12 hours and 16 minutes at 60 degrees latitude. The Solstices (Summer & Winter)The summer solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt toward from the sun is at a maximum. Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice. The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at 23.5° latitude North, and runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China." } ]

With the autumn equinox fast approaching, signifying the official start of the season for astronomers, the age old debate of the true beginning of the autumn continues. Different disciplines of science use different events or dates to mark the changing of the seasons Photo: Christopher Pledger By Hayley Dixon3:07PM BST 20 Sep 2013Follow Seasons are fundamental to how we understand the climate and the environment, but for hundreds of years academics have argued that their specialist field is the one which defines official start of autumn. In meteorological terms autumn begins on September 1, as each season is defined as a three-month period. Astronomers base the date of the seasons upon celestial events, in this case the autumnal equinox, when night and day are roughly equal length. The equinox will occur on Sunday, and normally takes places around September 21. The third definition of the start of autumn, which is more fluid, comes from phenology – the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events. The start of autumn in this field is dictated not by a set date or a single event, but the changes in the natural world, such as the tinting of the trees and the ripening of autumn fruits.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ZODIAC", "text": "\"WHAT'S YOUR SIGN? THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ZODIAC©1995 The Regents of the University of Californiaby Beth Napier An Introduction... Concept: Motions of Celestial Objects: At the earliest time of human existence, no one was aware that Earth was rotating around its axis. Early astronomers watched the sky and saw various cyclical motions of celestial objects such as the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets that had periods or cycle times ranging from 24 hours to a year. A natural assumption that resulted from observations was that the reason why the Sun, Moon, planets and stars rose and set every day was due to their own motion around the Earth. Now we know that these so-called diurnal or daily motions are the result of the Earth's own rotation or spin about its North-South axis with a period of 24 hours. In early times, objects in the sky were believed to be affixed to transparent celestial spheres and their motions were thought to be a result of the motion of these spheres as they revolved around the Earth. Groups of bright stars were observed to form prominent patterns in the night sky called Constellations, which have been historically ascribed to mythological figures, such as Orion the Hunter, and Gemini the Twins. The early astronomers recognized that constellations \"\"appeared\"\" and \"\"disappeared\"\" with the change of the seasons throughout the course of a year. The Sun, Moon and planets were observed to move in relation to the fixed background of stars, or constellations. Because of their perspective from Earth, early astronomers observed that all the planets visible with the naked eye as well as the Sun seemed to pass in the course of a year through a region in the sky occupied by twelve specific constellations." } ]

Equitable distribution is the way that courts in New York divide marital assets upon divorce or separation. Equitable distribution does not mean 50/50 as it does not mean equal, it means fair. Since the Supreme Court is a court of what we call “equity” as well as a court of law, the court can fashion allocations between parties, of assets acquired during the marriage. They will determine the division of marital assets, based on the facts and circumstances of the case, that they believes is fair. As the marriage progresses, typically more asset is acquired, so the longer the marriage, generally speaking, the closer to a 50/50 allocation that will occur at the time of divorce or separation. Parties are pretty much free to make agreements and allocate their assets any way they want. For example, if a party wants to keep a pension all to himself or herself, and then offset against another asset of equal value, they can do so. This could mean, one party can walk away with the pension and the other party could potentially walk away with the house. As long as they are equal values, this might be something two partners would agree to, but something the court would not do at a trial." }, { "docid": "D1453406#0", "title": "https://www.justia.com/family/divorce/docs/equitable-distribution-faq.html\nDivorce", "text": "Divorce Equitable Distribution Frequently Asked Questions This summary provides a general overview of equitable distribution laws.

Equitable distribution is a method of dividing property at the time of divorce. All states except for Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin follow the principles of equitable distribution. If my spouse and I agree on how we should divide our property, do we have to rely on equitable distribution laws? No. A court will only engage in equitable distribution if a divorcing couple is unable to negotiate a property settlement. If a couple is able to agree on how to divide a portion of their estate, but not the entire estate, the court will step in to distribute the undivided portion." }, { "docid": "D2884654#0", "title": "https://www.ohiobar.org/ForPublic/Resources/LawYouCanUse/Pages/LawYouCanUse-579.aspx\nOhio Line Fence Law Says Who Is Responsible for Fences", "text": "Ohio Line Fence Law Says Who Is Responsible for Fences Q: What is the “line fence law”? A: Ohio’s line fence law, also referred to as the “partition fence law,” establishes rights and obligations for fences that are placed on the division line between properties in Ohio’s unincorporated areas. Q: Does the line fence law apply to all property? A: No. The Ohio line fence law does not apply to the enclosure of lots within municipal corporations, the enclosure of adjoining lots outside of a municipality, property governed by railroad laws, or property governed by a written agreement entered into and recorded by the landowners regarding a line fence. Q: Under the law, who is responsible for building and maintaining a line fence? A: The law creates different rules of responsibility for line fences, depending upon the type of fence at issue. An “equitable shares” rule applies to line fences that existed before September 30, 2008, a rule of individual responsibility applies to “new” fences built after September 30, 2008, and the old “equal shares” rule applies to certain governmental fences. Q: Under current law, who is liable for damages by trespassing livestock? A: Under the law, an owner who negligently permits his livestock to run at large will be liable for all damages resulting from injury, death or loss to person or property caused by the livestock on the premises of another." }, { "docid": "D876035#0", "title": "http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/equitable-servitudes.html\nEquitable Servitudes Lawyers", "text": "Legal Topics Real Estate, Property and Housing General Real Estate Law Real Estate and Property Law Equitable Servitudes Lawyers Find a Local Real Estate Lawyer near You1 (may not be the same place you live)2Can't find a category? Click here What Is an Equitable Servitude? An equitable servitude is an agreement or contract between two or more parties that limits their use of property. An equitable servitude benefits and burdens the original parties to the agreement as well as their predecessors. Some examples of equitable servitudes are: A promise to maintain a property as an open park A promise to use property for residential use only A promise not to build tall buildings on the property How Are Equitable Servitudes Created? Creation of equitable servitudes is very similar to the creation of real covenants in that: The servitude must be in writing to satisfy the statute of frauds The original parties to the servitude must intend to bind any subsequent owners The servitude must relate to the direct use of the land Subsequent owners must have notice of the servitude However, equitable servitudes differ from real covenants in two important ways. Equitable servitudes do not require privity of estate, meaning that there does not need to be any special relationship between the person seeking to enforce the equitable servitude and the landowner whom they seek to enforce it against. The remedy for enforcing an equitable servitude is an injunction, while the law provides damages for the breach of a real covenant. Equitable servitudes are especially useful when all of the formal requirements of real covenants are not present. It is also important to note that most courts will imply an equitable servitude, absent a writing, if there is an overall developmental scheme or common plan." }, { "docid": "D89784#0", "title": "http://www.audioenglish.org/dictionary/prance.htm\nPRANCE", "text": "\"Audio English.org » Dictionary » P » Prakrit ...

Blanchard's law school textbook, California Remedies: Commentary, Materials and Problems (3d ed. ©1997)]Specific Performance is an equitable remedy for breach of contract. It is an alternative when money damages, the usual legal remedy, is inadequate. In gist, the remedy does exactly what its name implies, it forces the defaulting party to perform his contractual obligations exactly, absolutely, precisely - specifically. That is, if the remedy is available it coerces the performance required under the parties' contract (usually conveyance of title to the property, but any unique subject matter is sufficient) rather than the usual substitute relief, the payment of money in lieu of actual performance. When ordering specific performance the Court, subject to certain \"\"ancillary remedies\"\", orders that the contract be performed on the terms originally negotiated by the parties. In an era of extended delays between initial filing of Complaints and final trial adjudication (during which time the market value of property may fluctuate substantially) an order that a party relinquish control over a property in return for a purchase price negotiated sometimes years before is very serious. Therefore, before embarking on extended litigation both the parties and their counsel should carefully weigh their respective cases. Here it bears emphasis that the plaintiff (usually a disappointed buyer) often has relatively little to lose during the litigation; he has put up little or none of the total purchase price and can assess the market's movement during the course of the litigation. The defendant (usually the recalcitrant seller) has no such option." }, { "docid": "D1826246#0", "title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-equitable-remedies.htm\nWhat are Equitable Remedies?", "text": "Equitable remedies refer to specific types of remedies available in court cases that can only be granted by a judge. A judge will grant, or not grant, a given equitable remedy based on the circumstances of a particular case. As such, equitable remedies are different from legal remedies or remedies granted by operation of law. When a remedy is granted by operation of law, the law essentially mandates that particular remedy; equitable remedies, on the other hand, are generally always decided on a case-by-case basis. The term equitable remedy comes from the old English court system where there were two courts: courts of chancery and courts of law. Under this system, people would go to courts of chancery if the law didn't really provide them with relief but they still believed they had been wronged. Equitable remedies were and still are about what is fair and right. A legal remedy, for example, would be damages for a breach of contract. Under the law, a person who is party to a contract can recover damages if the other person breaches. The damages are equal to the actual damages or loss he experienced as a result of the breach of contract." }, { "docid": "D147553#0", "title": "http://info.legalzoom.com/difference-between-constructive-trust-equitable-lien-24653.html\nThe Difference Between a Constructive Trust and an Equitable Lien", "text": "\"Constructive trusts and equitable liens are two types of remedies designed to prevent one person from unjustly benefiting from the money or property of another. These legal remedies require a court order, and procedures vary from state to state. In many jurisdictions, you will need an attorney to seek a constructive trust or equitable lien. Constructive Trust A court imposes a constructive trust when a defendant is reaping benefit from property that he acquired unfairly. The constructive trust effectively turns the defendant into a trustee, charged with holding and managing the property, but unable to reap any benefit from the property. All benefit goes to the plaintiff, who is effectively a secured creditor for the trust. For instance, if John steals money from Tom and then invests the money in a life insurance policy, a constructive trust will give Tom all right to the benefits from the policy. In cases like this, Tom will usually need to \"\"trace\"\" the funds, meaning he will need to present accounting evidence to the court to prove that his money was used to purchase the insurance policy.

The basic rule, according to Ohio law, is that all assets accumulated during the marriage, by either spouse’s efforts, are considered to be marital, and are to be divided “equitably” between the parties. The exception to this law is if the parties signed a pre-marital agreement. “ During the marriage” is generally defined in Ohio to be from the date of the ceremonial marriage until the date the court terminated the marriage. There are cases, though, where a court has found that the marriage ended at an earlier date, such as when the parties separated.

ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U. S. C. 1001, et seq. which governs most employee health plans. Many ERISA plans rely on preemption principles to assert that they are under no obligation to reduce their lien claims, and purport that they are entitled to their entire reimbursement claim regardless of the circumstances of the case. Needless to say, this does not bode well for clients, who may end up with very little out of their personal injury settlement, particularly if the third party has a limited policy. How can you tackle these ERISA liens and try to negotiate them down? Before we begin the discussion on ERISA, remember, as advised in the article 7 Steps to Approaching Lien Claims in Personal Injury Cases, make sure to negotiate lien claims BEFORE you finalize the third party settlement. Reiterate that everyone needs to get on board so that the settlement offer can work, and everyone can get paid something. After the settlement is finalized, you have lost your leverage to gain significant reductions.

The courts have no authority over non-marital property. So, the first thing the court has to do is determine whether they have authority over marital property. Generally speaking, all property acquired by either spouse before the marriage is considered non-marital property. All property acquired after the marriage is considered property of the marriage or marital property. If the property is marital property then the court must “equitably” divide the property. If you wish to keep separate, your property from your spouse's property safeguards should be put into place to make sure that each retains ownership of their individual property.

Remedy The manner in which a right is enforced or satisfied by a court when some harm or injury,recognized by society as a wrongful act, is inflicted upon an individual. The law of remedies is concerned with the character and extent of relief to which an individual whohas brought a legal action is entitled once the appropriate court procedure has been followed, andthe individual has established that he or she has a substantive right that has been infringed by thedefendant. Categorized according to their purpose, the four basic types of judicial remedies are (1) damages; (2) restitution; (3) coercive remedies; and (4) declaratory remedies. The remedy of damages is generally intended to compensate the injured party for any harm he or she has suffered. This kind of damages is ordinarily known as Compensatory Damages. Money is substituted for that which the plaintiff has lost or suffered. Nominal damages, generally a few cents or one dollar, are awarded to protect a right of a plaintiff even though he or she has suffered no actual harm. The theory underlying the award of Punitive Damages is different since they areimposed upon the defendant in order to deter or punish him or her, rather than to compensate theplaintiff.

An equitable distribution state, Indiana follows the \"\"all property\"\" model, and appreciation of separate property is marital. Equitable does not mean equal, or even half, but rather what the Domestic Relations Court considers fair. In Indiana there is a rebuttable presumption for equal division of property. A spouse may rebut the presumption of an equal distribution if he or she presents relevant evidence that an equal division would not be just and reasonable. Indiana is a no-fault divorce state. However, if the Court finds one party dissipated marital assets, (i.e., gambling, poor business investments) then it may consider this conduct in determining that an equal division of property would be inappropriate. According to statute, the length of marriage does not have an effect on property distribution. However, in a relatively short-term marriage, the Court would probably deviate from the 50/50 presumption to allow parties to keep what each brought into the marriage. Factors in Equitable Distribution According to Indiana Code - Title 31 - Article 15 - Chapters: 7, the court may consider these factors in determining whether or not an equal distribution is appropriate:the contribution of each spouse to the acquisition of property, regardless of whether the contribution was income producing;the extent to which the property was acquired by each spouse before marriage or through inheritance or gift;the economic circumstances of each spouse at the time of the disposition of the property, including the desirability of awarding the family residence or the right to dwell in the family residence for such periods as the Court considers just to a spouse having custody of any children;the conduct of the parties during the marriage as related to disposition or dissipation of their property; andthe earnings or earning ability of the parties related to a final division of property and final determination of property rights of the parties." }, { "docid": "D1341471#0", "title": "http://www.childsupportguidelines.com/articles/art199908.html\nTHE DUTY OF STEPPARENTS TO SUPPORT THEIR STEPCHILDREN", "text": "\"This article originally appeared in a somewhat different form in the September 1996 issue of Divorce Litigation.

Specific performance grants the plaintiff what he actually bargained for in the contract rather thandamages (pecuniary compensation for loss or injury incurred through the unlawful conduct of another) for not receiving it; thus specific performance is an equitable rather than legal remedy. By compelling the parties to perform exactly what they had agreed to perform, more complete andperfect justice is achieved than by awarding damages for a breach of contract. Specific performance can be granted only by a court in the exercise of its Equity powers,subsequent to a determination of whether a valid contract that can be enforced exists and an evaluation of the relief sought. As a general rule, specific performance is applied in breach of contract actions where monetary damages are inadequate, primarily where the contract involvesland or a unique chattel ( Personal Property ). Damages for the breach of a contract for the sale of ordinary personal property are, in most cases, readily ascertainable and recoverable so that specificperformance will not be granted. An important advantage to this remedy is that, since it is an order of an equity court, it is supported by the enforcement power of that court. If the defendant refuses to obey that order, she can be citedfor criminal Contempt and even imprisoned.

As per this motivation theory, an individual’s motivation level is correlated to his perception of equity, fairness and justice practiced by the management. Higher is individual’s perception of fairness, greater is the motivation level and vice versa. While evaluating fairness, employee compares the job input (in terms of contribution) to outcome (in terms of compensation) and also compares the same with that of another peer of equal cadre/category. D/I ratio (output-input ratio) is used to make such a comparison. EQUITY THEORYRatio Comparison Perception O/I a < O/I b Under-rewarded (Equity Tension)O/I a = O/I b Equity O/I a > O/I b Over-rewarded (Equity Tension)Negative Tension state: Equity is perceived when this ratio is equal. While if this ratio is unequal, it leads to “equity tension”. J. Stacy Adams called this a negative tension state which motivates him to do something right to relieve this tension.

It can be used in personal life, government or business. It is centered around a cost-benefit analysis of any given relationship. The primary variable is the equalization of effort and work among the partners. The effort put into the relationship from one partner must be more or less equal to the effort the others expend. Basics Utilitarianism is a moral approach that bases ethics on whether or not people involved in social relationships are happy. Utility is based on consequences. In equity theory, people are happy when the effort expended in a relationship is equalized by a) the reward earned from the effort and b) the effort from other partners in the relationship, community or society. Assumptions The assumption of equity theory is that people enter relationships for an expected utility, or an expected gain. Work is required, but the work is justified given the expected gain to the worker." }, { "docid": "D134001#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_law\nSources of law", "text": "\"Sources of law From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with The Sources of English Law.

Several theoretical approaches have been advanced to explain how and why the concept of human rights developed. One of the oldest Western philosophies on human rights is that they are a product of a natural law, stemming from different philosophical or religious grounds. Other theories hold that human rights codify moral behavior which is a human social product developed by a process of biological and social evolution (associated with Hume ). Human rights are also described as a sociological pattern of rule setting (as in the sociological theory of law and the work of Weber ). These approaches include the notion that individuals in a society accept rules from legitimate authority in exchange for security and economic advantage (as in Rawls) – a social contract. The two theories that dominate contemporary human rights discussion are the interest theory and the will theory. Interest theory argues that the principal function of human rights is to protect and promote certain essential human interests, while will theory attempts to establish the validity of human rights based on the unique human capacity for freedom.

The extent of this confounding was examined in this study through the use of a role projection technique.

Among 13 structured alternatives, two wage inequity responses to the induction procedure were rated as least plausible while two self-image-as-a-worker responses were rated as most plausible. A job security alternative fell near the middle of the plausibility rankings. It was concluded that new induction procedures are required to test the effects of overpay inequity on productivity. In addition it was suggested that any new induction procedure should be pretested with the role projection technique.

Modigliani and Miller won Nobel prizes in economics in 1985 and 1990, respectively, in part for their contributions to what are often referred to as the capital structure irrelevance and dividend irrelevance theorems. Contrary to financial theory of the time, which focused on institutions, the M&M theorems were among the first efforts by economists to bring rigorous analysis to the understanding of corporate finance issues. Corporate financial capital, the funds invested in a firm, consists of money borrowed from others (bonds and loans) and business owners' own money (stock). Lenders receive a stated rate of interest and have the first claim on corporate assets. Stockholders receive all remaining current and future profits of the company. Leverage represents the proportion of debt (bonds and loans) to stock. Modigliani and Miller (1958) presented the idea that, assuming perfect financial markets and in the absence of taxes, the value of a levered firm is the same as that of an unlevered firm if both firms represent the same investment opportunities. In other words, change in capital structure (the mixture of debt and stock) alone does not affect a firm's value.

[ 1] This dilemma exists in circumstances where agents are motivated to act in their own best interests, which are contrary to those of their principals, and is an example of moral hazard. Common examples of this relationship include corporate management (agent) and shareholders (principal), politicians (agent) and voters (principal), or brokers (agent) and markets (buyers and sellers, principals). [ 2] Consider a legal client (the principal) wondering whether their lawyer (the agent) is recommending protracted legal proceedings because it is truly necessary for the client's well being, or because it will generate income for the lawyer. In fact the problem can arise in almost any context where one party is being paid by another to do something where the agent has a small or nonexistent share in the outcome, whether in formal employment or a negotiated deal such as paying for household jobs or car repairs. The problem arises where the two parties have different interests and asymmetric information (the agent having more information), such that the principal cannot directly ensure that the agent is always acting in their (the principal's) best interest, [3] particularly when activities that are useful to the principal are costly to the agent, and where elements of what the agent does are costly for the principal to observe (see moral hazard and conflict of interest ). Often, the principal may be sufficiently concerned at the possibility of being exploited by the agent that they choose not to enter into the transaction at all, when it would have been mutually beneficial: a suboptimal outcome that can lower welfare overall. The deviation from the principal's interest by the agent is called \"\" agency costs \"\". [ 3]Besides the agency problem between shareholders and managers, there is also another type of agency problem: the one derived from the existence of big shareholders and small shareholders, which is quite a common phenomenon in a listed company. In the process of dividend distribution, there exists not only information asymmetry but the different influence between big and small shareholders." }, { "docid": "D2416664#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_accounting\nPositive accounting", "text": "\"Accounting research Research areas [show]Methodologies [show]Specific topics [show]Accounting journals [show]Related topics [show]Part of a series on Accountingv t e Positive accounting is the branch of academic accounting research that seeks to explain and predict actual accounting practices.

[ 1] [2] The firm is viewed as “a nexus of contracts ” and accounting one tool to facilitate the formation and performance of contracts. Under this view, accounting practices evolve to mitigate contracting costs by establishing ex ante agreement among varying parties. For example, positive accounting postulates that conservatism in accounting –in this sense defined conditionally as requiring lower (higher) standards of verifiability to recognize losses (gains)– has origins in contract markets, including managerial compensation contracts and lender debt contracts. As an example, absent conservatism, managerial compensation agreements may reward managers based on current reports that later evidence indicates were unwarranted." }, { "docid": "D305020#0", "title": "http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/03/062603.asp\nWho or what is Dow Jones?", "text": "\"A: Dow Jones, or more precisely, Dow Jones & Company, is one of the largest business and financial news companies in the world.

Taken in its broader sense, justice is action in accordance with the requirements of some law. [ 1] Some maintain that justice stems from God's will or command, while others believe that justice is inherent in nature itself. Still others believe that justice consists of rules common to all humanity that emerge out of some sort of consensus. This sort of justice is often thought of as something higher than a society's legal system. It is in those cases where an action seems to violate some universal rule of conduct that we are likely to call it \"\"unjust. \"\" In its narrower sense, justice is fairness." }, { "docid": "D155063#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_motivation\nWork motivation", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For general motivation, see Motivation. Work motivation \"\"is a set of energetic forces [ dubious – discuss] that originate both within as well as beyond an individual's being, to initiate work-related behavior, and to determine its form, direction, intensity, and duration\"\" [1] Understanding what motivates an organization's employees is central to the study of I–O psychology. [ 2] Motivation is a person's internal disposition to be concerned with and approach positive incentives and avoid negative incentives. To further this, an incentive is the anticipated reward or aversive event available in the environment. [ 3] While motivation can often be used as a tool to help predict behavior, it varies greatly among individuals and must often be combined with ability and environmental factors to actually influence behavior and performance. Results from a recent 2012 study, which examined age-related differences in work motivation, suggest a \"\"shift in people's motives\"\" rather than a general decline in motivation with age. That is, it seemed that older employees were less motivated by extrinsically related features of a job, but more by intrinsically rewarding job features. [ 4] Work motivation is strongly influenced by certain cultural characteristics. Between countries with comparable levels of economic development, collectivist countries tend to have higher levels of work motivation than do countries that tend toward individualism. Similarly measured, higher levels of work motivation can be found in countries that exhibit a long versus a short-term orientation." } ]

C. – December 12, 2017 – Today, The Equal Rights Center (“ERC”), a civil rights organization that identifies and seeks to eliminate unlawful and unfair discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations in its home community of Greater Washington, D. C. and nationwide, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., and Mid- America Apartments, L. P. collectively, (“MAA”). The complaint alleges that MAA maintained and enforced a criminal records screening policy that categorically barred an untold number of individuals with criminal records from living at their properties in violation of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (FHA). African American and Latino housing applicants to MAA properties were between two and twelve times as likely to be prevented from applying for an apartment due to MAA’s criminal records screening policy. The lawsuit claims that MAA’s criminal records screening policy had an illegal and disproportionate effect on African American and Latino applicants without a substantial, legitimate business justification and therefore violates the federal fair housing law. The Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, and Relman, Dane & Colfax, PLLC are representing the ERC in the matter. Through the complaint, the ERC seeks injunctive, monetary, and declarative relief. The complaint alleges that MAA enforced its discriminatory criminal records screening policy at more than 55 apartment communities in 15 cities around the country. An ERC investigation revealed that applicants who disclose a felony conviction through the MAA online application portal were not even able to submit an application for review because a felony conviction worked as an absolute bar to applying for an apartment. Blanket bans that automatically deny housing to people with criminal records without regard for factors like the nature of the crime or its severity, the time passed since the crime, or demonstrated rehabilitation can be discriminatory under the Fair Housing Act. They are also inconsistent with guidance issued by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).“Blanket bans from housing based on a criminal record without consideration of its relevance, including how long ago the incident occurred, the nature of the charge or even an applicant’s more recent stable rental history, are inconsistent with America’s fundamental values of redemption and fairness,” said ERC Executive Director Melvina Ford. “" }, { "docid": "D876416#0", "title": "http://kb.drakesoftware.com/Site/Browse/Common-1040-Individual-Reject-Codes-ERCs\n13259: Common 1040 Individual Reject Codes (ERCs)", "text": "What are some of the most common reject codes for personal returns?

The word senescence can refer either to cellular senescence or to senescence of the whole organism. It is commonly believed that cellular senescence underlies organismal senescence. The science of biological aging is biogerontology. Senescence is not the inevitable fate of all organisms and can be delayed. The discovery, in 1934, that calorie restriction can extend lifespan by 50% in rats, and the existence of species having negligible senescence and potentially immortal species such as Hydra, have motivated research into delaying and preventing senescence and thus age-related diseases. Organisms of some taxonomic groups, including some animals, experience chronological decrease in mortality, for all or part of their life cycle. On the other extreme are accelerated aging diseases, rare in humans. There is also the extremely rare and poorly understood \"\"Syndrome X,\"\" whereby a person remains physically and mentally an infant or child throughout one's life.

The cluster approach, instituted in 2006 as part of the UN Humanitarian Reform process, is an important step on the road to more effective humanitarian coordination. Ultimately the cluster approach aims to improve the predictability, timeliness, and effectiveness of humanitarian response, and pave the way for recovery. It strengthens leadership and accountability in key sectors. It also seeks to enhance partnerships and complementarity among the UN, Red Cross Movement, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). At the global level, clusters have been established in 11 key areas to support the cluster approach as shown in the table. The global cluster leads report to the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC). WHO leads the global health cluster which includes over 30 partners and is developing normative guidance and tools (e.g. for assessment, coordination, information management and training) as well as seeking to ensure surge capacity (of skilled experts supported by appropriate supplies, logistics and security) and the development of national capacities. WHO is also member of the nutrition, water/sanitation, emergency shelter and protection clusters and works with the leaders of those clusters to promote inter-cluster harmonization. At country level, clusters (or “sectoral groups”) will normally be established for any major emergency – any situation where humanitarian needs are of sufficient scale and complexity to justify a multi-sectoral response with the engagement of a wide range of international humanitarian actors: Clusters are established according to the needs of the situation; they may or may not correspond to the 11 global clusters (some may be combined, others not required);Country cluster leads may correspond to those designated at the global level or be adjusted taking account of the capacities and strengths of the humanitarian organizations present; any IASC member can be a cluster lead (it does not have to be a UN agency);Where a coordination group already functions with clear leadership, no new cluster or leadership is required for that sector;The country cluster structure and corresponding cluster leads are proposed by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) – or by the UNRC in a country where an HC has not been appointed – after consultation with Government authorities and relevant IASC partners at country level, and agreed with the ERC after consultation within the IASC at global level." }, { "docid": "D3013332#0", "title": "http://www.acuraworld.com/forums/f72/replacing-brake-rotors-pads-60520/\n.", "text": "\"post #1 of 18 ( permalink )Old 08-10-05, 01:57 PM Thread Starteric95Registered User Join Date: Aug 2005Age: 44Posts: 7replacing brake rotors and padscan someone please tell me where to go to replace my fr and rr brake pads and rotors?

MASSIMILIANO MINOCRIRoger Torrent, a 38-year-old deputy with the pro-independence Catalan Republican Left (ERC), has become the speaker of the new Catalan parliament that emerged from the December 21 election, which yielded a majority of seats for separatist parties. On Wednesday, lawmakers meeting at the first session voted in the members of the Mesa del Parlament, the permanent board of officials that sets the chamber’s agenda. The outcome of the vote, which had been widely expected, gives control of this pivotal body to the separatist bloc. During the last political term, the separatist-controlled Mesa allowed the votes that resulted in the passing of self-made laws and a unilateral declaration of independence. Mending society In his opening address to the new parliament, Torrent used a much more conciliatory tone than Ernest Maragall, the veteran lawmaker who provisionally presided the session until the speaker’s appointment. Torrent said he will work “tirelessly to restore the Catalan institutions”“I want to contribute to mending Catalan society,” said Torrent, calling Catalonia a society “of crossed identities” and “a plural country.” He underscored that as mayor of Sarrià de Ter (Girona), he always tried to reach across the aisle, and said he intends to do the same now as speaker of the Catalan parliament. Torrent announced that he will work “tirelessly to restore Catalan institutions,” a reminder that regional self-rule has been temporarily taken over by central authorities in Madrid after invoking Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution.

Career Coverage: A policy or policy provisions that provide coverage for claims arising from the acts, errors or omissions of an insured when providing legal services at any law firm during or prior to the current policy period. Most professional liability policies for law firms of size only provide coverage for claims arising from work done on behalf or in the name of the insured law firm, but career coverage covers claims arising from work done at any prior point in a lawyer's career, irrespective of where the lawyer worked. Such coverage may be limited or non–existent if the lawyer is joining another firm, as that firm's insurance carrier (or the firm itself) may not wish to cover such exposure when it doesn't have to do so. Claims–Made and Reported Coverage: Most professional liability policies are written on this basis. In order for a claim to be covered, the claim must be first made against the insured lawyer and reported to the insurance company during the policy period. Some polices may be \"\"claims– made\"\" forms, where the claim must be made during the policy period, but the insured's requirement to report the claim to the insurance company may extend to a time period beyond the expiration of the policy period (such as \"\"within a reasonable period of time\"\" or \"\"as soon as practicable\"\").

The process of identifying schools for participation in DEIS was managed by the Educational Research Centre (ERC) on behalf of the Department and supported by quality assurance work co-ordinated through the Department's regional offices and the Inspectorate. The ERC's overall approach was guided by the definition of educational disadvantage in the Education Act (1998), as:\"\"...the impediments to education arising from social or economic disadvantage which prevent students from deriving appropriate benefit from the education in schools\"\". In the primary sector, the identification process was based on a survey carried out by the ERC in May 2005. The analysis of the survey returns from primary schools by the ERC identified the socio-economic variables that collectively best predict achievement, and these variables were then used to identify schools for participation in the School Support Programme. The variables involved were: unemployment % local authority accommodation % lone parenthood % Travellers % large families (5 or more children) % pupils eligible for free books More detail on the identification process at primary level in 2005 is available here: http://www.erc.ie/documents/deis_assess_disadv_prim_sch.pdf Second-level schools were selected by reference to centrally-held data from the Post-Primary Pupils and State Examinations Commission databases which included: Medical card data for Junior Certificate candidates (including Junior Certificate School Programme candidates)Junior Certificate retention rates by school Junior Certificate exam results aggregated to school level (expressed as an OPS - \"\"Overall Performance Scale\"\" - score). This was based on each student's performance in the seven subjects in which s/he performed best aggregated to school level Leaving Certificate retention rates by school The identification process was in line with international best practice and had regard to, and employed, the existing and most appropriate data sources available.

As of 2017, the LGM-30G Minuteman III version [a] is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States. Development of the Minuteman began in the mid-1950s as the outgrowth of basic research into solid fuel rocket motors which indicated an ICBM based on solids was possible. Such a missile could stand ready for extended periods of time with little maintenance, and then launch on command. In comparison, existing U. S. missile designs using liquid rocket propellant required a lengthy fueling process immediately before launch, which left them open to the possibility of surprise attack. This potential for immediate launch gave the missile its name; like the Revolutionary War 's Minutemen, the Minuteman was designed to be launched on a moment's notice. [" } ]

ICD-9-CM 51.10Me SH D002760OPS-301 code 1-642 [ edit on Wikidata]Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP) is a technique that combines the use of endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat certain problems of the biliary or pancreatic ductal systems. Through the endoscope, the physician can see the inside of the stomach and duodenum, and inject a contrast medium into the ducts in the biliary tree and pancreas so they can be seen on radiographs. ERCP is used primarily to diagnose and treat conditions of the bile ducts and main pancreatic duct, [1] including gallstones, inflammatory strictures (scars), leaks (from trauma and surgery), and cancer. ERCP can be performed for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons, although the development of safer and relatively non-invasive investigations such as magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and endoscopic ultrasound has meant that ERCP is now rarely performed without therapeutic intent.

Related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic ultrasound Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Definition Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technique in which a hollow tubecalled an endoscope is passed through the mouth and stomach to the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). This procedure was developed to examine abnormalities of the bile ducts,pancreas, and gallbladder. It was developed during the late 1960s and is used today to diagnoseand treat blockages of the bile and pancreatic ducts. The term has three parts to its definition:endoscopic refers to the use of an endoscoperetrograde refers to the injection of dye up into the bile ducts in a direction opposing, or against, the normal flow of bile down the ductscholangiopancreatography means visualization of the bile ducts (cholangio) and pancreas (pancreato)Purpose Until the 1970s, methods to visualize the bile ducts produced images that were of relatively poorquality and often misleading; in addition, the pancreatic duct could not be examined at all. Patients with symptoms related to the bile ducts or pancreatic ducts frequently needed surgery to diagnose and treat their conditions. Using ERCP, physicians can obtain high-quality x rays of these structures and identify areas of narrowing (strictures), cancers, and gallstones. This procedure can help determine whether bile or pancreatic ducts are blocked; it also identifies where they are blocked along with the cause of the blockage. ERCP may then be used to relieve the blockage. For patients requiring surgery or additional procedures for treatment, ERCP outlines the anatomical changes for the surgeon." }, { "docid": "D2761498#0", "title": "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1521691807000054\n11The patient with slightly elevated pancreatic enzymes and abdominal complaints", "text": "Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology Volume 21, Issue 3, June 2007, Pages 519-53311The patient with slightly elevated pancreatic enzymes and abdominal complaints Jutta Keller ( Head of Research Laboratory) Viola Andresen ( Research Fellow) Ulrich Rosien ( Head of Endoscopy Unit) Peter Layer ( Professor, Medical Director)Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpg.2007.01.004 Get rights and content Abdominal complaints in combination with slightly elevated serum pancreatic enzymes represent a classical clinical challenge. These symptoms may be due to coincidental unrelated harmless disorders, benign pancreatic alterations which are fairly easily treatable such as mild acute pancreatitis or uncomplicated chronic pancreatitis. However, serious, often insidious diseases such as pancreatic tumours may also present with this constellation as their first signs. Diagnostic procedures need to be stratified according to acuteness and severity of symptoms. While patients with acute onset of symptoms and severe complaints need immediate and combined laboratory and imaging investigations to allow adequate therapy, chronic and mild complaints usually justify a stepwise diagnostic approach consecutively using abdominal ultrasound, CT/MRI and endoscopic ultrasound as imaging procedures and reserving ERCP for cases which remain unclear or in which interventional therapy is needed. Diagnosis and follow-up are often particularly demanding in patients with cystic tumours of the pancreas. In chronic pancreatitis patients pain therapy and adequate control of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency may pose major problems. Patients with refractory pain may ultimately require surgical intervention. Another important indication for surgery in chronic pancreatitis is suspicion of cancer that cannot be ruled out by dedicated diagnostic procedures. This also applies to cystic tumours of the pancreas, which have a high risk of malignant transformation or may even already represent pancreatic cancer at the time of diagnosis." }, { "docid": "D2133613#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/4925224/unit-2-cholangiography-flash-cards/\nUnit 2 Cholangiography", "text": "\"36 terms jrolivas Unit 2 Cholangiography Learn Flashcards Write Spell Test Match Gravity Advertisement Upgrade to remove ads Like this study set?

As a general rule, the longer you go without symptoms, the less likely it is that your condition will get worse. You may need treatment if you have a condition that increases your risk of developing complications, such as:scarring of the liver ( cirrhosis)high blood pressure inside the liver – this is known as portal hypertension and is often a complication of alcohol-related liver diseasediabetes Treatment may also be recommended if a scan shows high levels of calcium inside your gallbladder, as this can lead to gallbladder cancer in later life. If you have episodes of abdominal pain (biliary colic), treatment depends on how the pain affects your daily activities. If the episodes are mild and infrequent, you may be prescribed painkillers to control further episodes and given advice about eating a healthy diet to help control the pain. If your symptoms are more severe and occur frequently, surgery to remove the gallbladder is usually recommended.

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": "D1357271#0", "title": "http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/181364-treatment\nAcute Pancreatitis Treatment & Management", "text": "Drugs & Diseases > Gastroenterology Acute Pancreatitis Treatment & Management Updated: Feb 13, 2017Author: Jeffrey C F Tang, MD; Chief Editor: BS Anand, MD more...

The patient is kept NPO (nil per os—that is, nothing by mouth), and intravenous (IV) fluid hydration is provided. Analgesics are administered for pain relief. Antibiotics are generally not indicated. If ultrasonograms show evidence of gallstones and if the cause of pancreatitis is believed to be biliary, a cholecystectomy should be performed during the same hospital admission. Feeding should be introduced enterally as the patient’s anorexia and pain resolves. Patients can be initiated on a low-fat diet initially and need not invariably start their dietary advancement using a clear liquid diet. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have shown that administration of enteral nutrition may reduce mortality and infectious complications compared with parenteral nutrition.

The common types of gallstones are cholesterol, black pigment, and brown pigment. Cholesterol gallstones occur more frequently in several ethnic groups and are associated with female gender, obesity, pregnancy, oral hormonal therapy, rapid loss of weight, elevated blood triglyceride levels, and Crohn's disease. Black pigment gallstones occur when there is increased destruction of red blood cells, while brown pigment gallstones occur when there is reduced flow and infection of bile. The majority of gallstones do not cause symptoms. The most common symptoms of gallstones are biliary colic and cholecystitis. Gallstones do not cause intolerance to fatty foods, belching, abdominal distention, or gas. Complications of gallstones include cholangitis, gangrene of the gallbladder, jaundice, pancreatitis, sepsis, fistula, and ileus. Gallbladder sludge is associated with symptoms and complications of gallstones; however, like gallstones, sludge usually does not cause problems. The best single test for diagnosing gallstones is transabdominal ultrasonography." }, { "docid": "D763649#0", "title": "http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/endoscopic-retrograde-cholangiopancreatogram-ercp\nDigestive Diseases and ERCP Testing", "text": "\"Digestive Diseases and ERCP Testing In this Article What Happens During ERCP?

There are various types of cysts and tumours in the liver, all of which are abnormal growths or structures. A cyst is an abnormal, fluid-filled balloon or bubblelike structure (sac) that can grow in any part of your body. Liver cysts are mostly congenital, meaning that you have them from birth, or caused by contact with some form of parasite. A solid tumour is an abnormal lump or swelling of tissue caused by an uncontrolled build-up of cells. Tumours can be benign or malignant – those that are benign do not spread or cause cancer, while malignant tumours are cancerous and may invadeother parts of the body.

Acute pancreatitis is usually a sudden and severe illness caused when the pancreas rapidly becomes inflamed. Pancreas enzymes and various poisons (toxins) may enter the blood stream in an acute attack, and injure other organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. However, the pancreas can return to virtual normality if the cause of the attack is found and treated. What is pancreatitis? Pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas becomes swollen and inflamed causing it to not work properly. The enzymes which the pancreas normally produces to help digestion in the small intestine can attack the pancreas itself. The two most common types of pancreatitis are acute and chronic. Unfortunately, with some patients, much of the pancreatic tissue is destroyed with severe inflammation occurring along with leakage of enzymes, fluids and poisons. This condition, known as a \"\"hemorrhagic\"\" pancreatitis, causes the pancreas to become very swollen and slushy which can then develop into a collection of fluid and damaged pancreatic tissue called a \"\"pseudocyst\"\"." } ]

Initially, these procedures were primarily used to assess and diagnose the severity of diseases of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract in children. As technology and expertise have increased over time, the ability to perform “therapeutic” endoscopic procedures in children (as well as adults) has grown. The opportunity to intervene and directly treat a variety of gastrointestinal problems has ushered in a new era in pediatric endoscopy. The number of procedures, devices and techniques utilized continues to expand and requires a dedicated effort to offer the most advanced endoscopic care available. Therefore, interventional endoscopists, who have additional training and expertise in performing these advanced procedures, help provide the greatest degree of safety and expertise possible. Why choose the Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy for Children (ATECh) Clinic at Children’s Hospital Colorado? With the recognition that each and every procedure has its own benefits and risks, the Digestive Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado has developed the ATECh clinic to ensure that patients and families have ample opportunity to examine these issues at length. Since many times the physician or specialist recommending these advanced endoscopic procedures are not necessarily the ones actually performing the procedure, the ATECh clinic offers a venue for families to meet with an advanced interventional endoscopist prior to the procedure.

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.

Bile is a fluid made by the liver to help in the digestion of fats. It contains several different substances, including cholesterol and bilirubin, a waste product of normal breakdown of blood cells in the liver. Bile is stored in the gallbladder until needed.

ERCP stands for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. ERCP combines endoscopy, which is swallowing a flexible tube by mouth under sedation, with an X-ray examination. The flexible tube or endoscope is passed through the stomach into the duodenum opposite the ampulla of Vater. This is the area in the duodenum where the bile duct – draining bile from the liver, and the pancreatic duct, draining juice from the pancreas gland – enter the gut.

These symptoms may be due to coincidental unrelated harmless disorders, benign pancreatic alterations which are fairly easily treatable such as mild acute pancreatitis or uncomplicated chronic pancreatitis. However, serious, often insidious diseases such as pancreatic tumours may also present with this constellation as their first signs. Diagnostic procedures need to be stratified according to acuteness and severity of symptoms. While patients with acute onset of symptoms and severe complaints need immediate and combined laboratory and imaging investigations to allow adequate therapy, chronic and mild complaints usually justify a stepwise diagnostic approach consecutively using abdominal ultrasound, CT/MRI and endoscopic ultrasound as imaging procedures and reserving ERCP for cases which remain unclear or in which interventional therapy is needed. Diagnosis and follow-up are often particularly demanding in patients with cystic tumours of the pancreas. In chronic pancreatitis patients pain therapy and adequate control of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency may pose major problems. Patients with refractory pain may ultimately require surgical intervention. Another important indication for surgery in chronic pancreatitis is suspicion of cancer that cannot be ruled out by dedicated diagnostic procedures. This also applies to cystic tumours of the pancreas, which have a high risk of malignant transformation or may even already represent pancreatic cancer at the time of diagnosis." }, { "docid": "D1493351#0", "title": "http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/procedures/examinations/a6122/patch-testing-for-skin-allergies/\nPatch testing for skin allergies", "text": "Patch testing for skin allergies Patch testing is a way of identifying whether a substance that comes in contact with the skin is causing inflammation of the skin.

Patch testing is a way of identifying whether a substance that comes in contact with the skin is causing inflammation of the skin ( contact dermatitis ). There are two types of contact dermatitis: irritant contact dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis. Irritant contact dermatitis An irritant substance is one that would cause inflammation in almost every individual if it was applied in sufficiently high concentration for long enough. An irritant reaction is caused by the direct contact of an irritant substance with the skin and does not involve the immune system. Allergic contact dermatitis An allergic reaction is specific to the individual and to a substance (or a group of related substances) called an allergen. Allergy is a hypersensitivity (oversensitivity) to a particular substance, and always involves the immune system. All areas of skin that are in contact with the allergen develop the rash. The rash will disappear if you avoid contact with the substance." }, { "docid": "D1316554#0", "title": "http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-cedars-sinai-infections-20150304-story.html\nSuperbug outbreak extends to Cedars-Sinai hospital, linked to scope", "text": "Four people have been infected with a superbug linked to a contaminated medical scope, Cedars-Sinai has discovered, and 67 others may have been exposed.

In addition, ERCP can be used to treat problems in these parts of the digestive system. What Happens During ERCP? During ERCP, a gastroenterologist (doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the gastrointestinal system), uses a special endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end) to examine the inside of the digestive system. The doctor identifies the place where the bile duct comes into the intestine and then feeds a tiny catheter (a plastic tube) into the duct and squirts in a contrast agent while X-rays are taken." } ]

Patients with chronic pancreatitis the pancreatic duct is irregular with areas of narrowing. Chronic pancreatitis causes narrowing from scarring and ongoing inflammation in the pancreas. Patients’ pancreatic juice does not drain well and forms stones in 22-60% of patients with chronic pancreatitis. These stones can cause blockage of the pancreatic duct, resulting in pain.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This guideline presents recommendations for the management of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). During the past decade, there have been new understandings and developments in the diagnosis, etiology, and early and late management of the disease. As the diagnosis of AP is most often established by clinical symptoms and laboratory testing, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pancreas should be reserved for patients in whom the diagnosis is unclear or who fail to improve clinically. Hemodynamic status should be assessed immediately upon presentation and resuscitative measures begun as needed. Patients with organ failure and/or the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) should be admitted to an intensive care unit or intermediary care setting whenever possible. Aggressive hydration should be provided to all patients, unless cardiovascular and/or renal comorbidites preclude it. Early aggressive intravenous hydration is most beneficial within the first 12–24 h, and may have little benefit beyond. Patients with AP and concurrent acute cholangitis should undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) within 24 h of admission. Pancreatic duct stents and/or postprocedure rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) suppositories should be utilized to lower the risk of severe post-ERCP pancreatitis in high-risk patients." }, { "docid": "D2129509#0", "title": "http://www.sages.org/publications/patient-information/patient-information-for-ercp-endoscopic-retrograde-cholangio-pancreatography-from-sages/\nWhat is ERCP?", "text": "Download PDFFind a SAGES Surgeon What is ERCP? ( Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography)ERCP is a procedure that enables your physician to examine the pancreatic and bile ducts. A bendable, lighted tube (endoscope) about the thickness of your index finger is placed through your mouth and into your stomach and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). In the duodenum a small opening is identified (ampulla) and a small plastic tube (cannula) is passed through the endoscope and into this opening. Dye (contrast material) is injected and X-rays are taken to study the ducts of the pancreas and liver. About ERCPWhy is an ERCP Performed? ERCP is most commonly performed to diagnose conditions of the pancreas or bile ducts, and is also used to treat those conditions. It is used to evaluate symptoms suggestive of disease in these organs, or to further clarify abnormal results from blood tests or imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scan. The most common reasons to do ERCP include abdominal pain, weight loss, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), or an ultrasound or CT scan that shows stones or a mass in these organs.

A proper diagnosis of IBD involves determining the disease type (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis), extent and severity of disease, and any related complications. Before any medical test, you may want to ask your doctor the following questions: What type of information will the test provide? What can I expect during the test? Will I feel any discomfort?

Gallstones (commonly misspelled gall stones or gall stone) are solid particles that form from bile cholesterol and bilirubin in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small saclike organ in the upper right part of the abdomen. It is located under the liver, just below the front rib cage on the right side. The gallbladder is part of the biliary system, which includes the liver and the pancreas. The biliary system, among other functions, transports bile and digestive enzymes. Bile is a fluid made by the liver to help in the digestion of fats.

Acute pancreatitis is usually a sudden and severe illness caused when the pancreas rapidly becomes inflamed. Pancreas enzymes and various poisons (toxins) may enter the blood stream in an acute attack, and injure other organs such as the heart, lungs and kidneys. However, the pancreas can return to virtual normality if the cause of the attack is found and treated. What is pancreatitis? Pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas becomes swollen and inflamed causing it to not work properly. The enzymes which the pancreas normally produces to help digestion in the small intestine can attack the pancreas itself. The two most common types of pancreatitis are acute and chronic. Unfortunately, with some patients, much of the pancreatic tissue is destroyed with severe inflammation occurring along with leakage of enzymes, fluids and poisons. This condition, known as a \"\"hemorrhagic\"\" pancreatitis, causes the pancreas to become very swollen and slushy which can then develop into a collection of fluid and damaged pancreatic tissue called a \"\"pseudocyst\"\"." }, { "docid": "D3284801#0", "title": "http://ddc.musc.edu/public/procedures/ercp.html\nERCP", "text": "ERCPGive Us a Call For more information about ERCP procedures at MUSC, call: Peggy Edgerton, BSN RN (843) 876-7230 [email protected] By Peter B.

The common types of gallstones are cholesterol, black pigment, and brown pigment. Cholesterol gallstones occur more frequently in several ethnic groups and are associated with female gender, obesity, pregnancy, oral hormonal therapy, rapid loss of weight, elevated blood triglyceride levels, and Crohn's disease. Black pigment gallstones occur when there is increased destruction of red blood cells, while brown pigment gallstones occur when there is reduced flow and infection of bile. The majority of gallstones do not cause symptoms. The most common symptoms of gallstones are biliary colic and cholecystitis. Gallstones do not cause intolerance to fatty foods, belching, abdominal distention, or gas. Complications of gallstones include cholangitis, gangrene of the gallbladder, jaundice, pancreatitis, sepsis, fistula, and ileus. Gallbladder sludge is associated with symptoms and complications of gallstones; however, like gallstones, sludge usually does not cause problems.

This procedure was developed to examine abnormalities of the bile ducts,pancreas, and gallbladder.

Patients with symptoms related to the bile ducts or pancreatic ducts frequently needed surgery to diagnose and treat their conditions. Using ERCP, physicians can obtain high-quality x rays of these structures and identify areas of narrowing (strictures), cancers, and gallstones. This procedure can help determine whether bile or pancreatic ducts are blocked; it also identifies where they are blocked along with the cause of the blockage. ERCP may then be used to relieve the blockage. For patients requiring surgery or additional procedures for treatment, ERCP outlines the anatomical changes for the surgeon." }, { "docid": "D2129507#0", "title": "http://www.ddc.musc.edu/public/procedures/ERCP.html\nERCP", "text": "ERCPGive Us a Call For more information about ERCP procedures at MUSC, call: Peggy Edgerton, BSN RN (843) 876-7230 [email protected] By Peter B.

These symptoms may be due to coincidental unrelated harmless disorders, benign pancreatic alterations which are fairly easily treatable such as mild acute pancreatitis or uncomplicated chronic pancreatitis. However, serious, often insidious diseases such as pancreatic tumours may also present with this constellation as their first signs. Diagnostic procedures need to be stratified according to acuteness and severity of symptoms. While patients with acute onset of symptoms and severe complaints need immediate and combined laboratory and imaging investigations to allow adequate therapy, chronic and mild complaints usually justify a stepwise diagnostic approach consecutively using abdominal ultrasound, CT/MRI and endoscopic ultrasound as imaging procedures and reserving ERCP for cases which remain unclear or in which interventional therapy is needed. Diagnosis and follow-up are often particularly demanding in patients with cystic tumours of the pancreas. In chronic pancreatitis patients pain therapy and adequate control of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency may pose major problems. Patients with refractory pain may ultimately require surgical intervention. Another important indication for surgery in chronic pancreatitis is suspicion of cancer that cannot be ruled out by dedicated diagnostic procedures. This also applies to cystic tumours of the pancreas, which have a high risk of malignant transformation or may even already represent pancreatic cancer at the time of diagnosis." } ]

All stages are present at birth, but only begin to unfold according to both a natural scheme and one's ecological and cultural upbringing. In each stage, the person confronts, and hopefully masters, new challenges. Each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages.

The outcome of one stage is not permanent and can be modified by later experiences. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological forces and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces (as shown in the table below). If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned attribute in the crisis), he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue." } ]

Identity achievement vs. identity diffusion is the fifth crisis that individuals experience as they navigate the potentially stormy years of adolescence. The crisis is one of heightened susceptibility to particular developmental changes associated with puberty. Teenagers experience rapid changes in body build, hormones, emotions, and cognitive abilities. Perhaps for the first time in life, they contemplate their roles in society including their careers, values, and gender role. There are advantages to exploring your identity during your teenage years.

Each stage builds on the preceding stages, and paves the way for subsequent stages. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis, which is based on physiological development, but also on demands put on the individual by parents and/or society.

To reflect this unique approach, the school was renamed in 1969 for renowned psychoanalyst Erik H. Erikson, a former colleague of Erikson Institute co-founder Maria Piers. He was the first to propose that children are not simply biological organisms but also products of society’s expectations, prejudices, and prohibitions. About Erik Erikson One of the most influential psychoanalysts of the 20th century, Erik Erikson was born in 1902 in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany. After completing high school, he moved to Florence to pursue his interest in art, and in 1927 became an art teacher at a psychoanalytically enlightened school for children started by Dorothy Burlingham and Anna Freud in Vienna. The move changed his life and career. He earned a certificate from the Maria Montessori School, then embarked on psychoanalytic training at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute. By 1936, he had joined the Institute of Human Relations, part of the department of psychiatry at Yale University. Erikson’s legacy Erikson’s best-known work is his theory that each stage of life is associated with a specific psychological struggle, a struggle that contributes to a major aspect of personality. His developmental progression — from trust to autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity — was conceived as the sequential reorganization of ego and character structures." }, { "docid": "D1590841#0", "title": "http://thenadd.org/modal/bulletins/v12n1a1~.htm\nNADD Bulletin Volume XII Number 1 Article 1", "text": "\"NADD Bulletin Volume XII Number 1 Article 1Complete listing Identify Development, Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities, and Person-First Language Daniel J.

While he was influenced by Freud's ideas, Erikson's theory differed in a number of important ways. Like Freud, Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of predetermined stages. Unlike Freud’s theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson’s theory describes the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. Let's compare and contrast these two theories by looking at some of the key similarities and differences at each stage. Age: Birth to 1 Yearredheadpictures / Cultura / Getty Images The two theories of development both focus on the importance of early experiences, but there are notable differences between Freud's and Erikson's ideas. Freud centered on the importance of feeding, while Erikson was more concerned with how responsive caretakers are to a child's needs.

While developing a sense of identity is an important part of the teenage years, Erikson did not believe that the formation and growth of identity were just confined to adolescence.

Erik Erikson was an ego psychologist who developed one of the most popular and influential theories of development. While his theory was impacted by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's work, Erikson's theory centered on psychosocial development rather than psychosexual development. The stages that make up his theory are as follows: Stage 1 - Trust vs. Mistrust Stage 2 - Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt Stage 3 - Initiative vs. Guilt Stage 4 - Industry vs. Inferiority Stage 5 - Identity vs. Confusion Stage 6 - Intimacy vs. Isolation Stage 7 - Generativity vs. Stagnation Stage 8 - Integrity vs. Despair Let's take a closer look at the background and different stages that make up Erikson's psychosocial theory. What Is Psychosocial Development? So what exactly did Erikson's theory of psychosocial development entail? Much like Sigmund Freud, Erikson believed that personality developed in a series of stages. Unlike Freud's theory of psychosexual stages, Erikson's theory described the impact of social experience across the whole lifespan. Erikson was interested in how social interaction and relationships played a role in the development and growth of human beings." }, { "docid": "D1429610#0", "title": "https://quizlet.com/130625676/psychology-160-practice-quizzes-compilation-flash-cards/\nPSYCHOLOGY 160 Practice Quizzes Compilation", "text": "\"605 terms ivanovtp PSYCHOLOGY 160 Practice Quizzes Compilationquickly engaged in apologetic behavior In a study conducted by Zahn-Waxler, 5-year-old girls acted out a disagreement between two female dolls.

All stages are present at birth, but only begin to unfold according to both a natural scheme and one's ecological and cultural upbringing. In each stage, the person confronts, and hopefully masters, new challenges. Each stage builds upon the successful completion of earlier stages. The challenges of stages not successfully completed may be expected to return as problems in the future. However, mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage. The outcome of one stage is not permanent and can be modified by later experiences. Erikson's stage theory characterizes an individual advancing through the eight life stages as a function of negotiating his or her biological forces and sociocultural forces. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis of these two conflicting forces (as shown in the table below). If an individual does indeed successfully reconcile these forces (favoring the first mentioned attribute in the crisis), he or she emerges from the stage with the corresponding virtue." } ]

Lui: I don't think any physician likes to prescribe antibiotics for a child if they don't need to. There are many reasons why.

Thus, less profits are achieved by the medical and pharmaceutical industry. There was a medical doctor in Georgia who had a cancer clinic that used DMSO and chemotherapy. In his clinic, he actually had the DMSO bind to very small doses of chemotherapy. With this protocol, the chemotherapy was able to kill far more cancer cells and do far less damage to the non-cancerous cells.

For a clear and concise explanation of sentience, we turned to the abolitionist approach to animal rights as set forth by professor Gary Francione of Rutgers University. Following is Francione’s recently published article on Sentience. A sentient being is a being who is subjectively aware; a being who has interests; that is, a being who prefers, desires, or wants. Those interests do not have to be anything like human interests. If a being has some kind of mind that can experience frustration or satisfaction of whatever interests that being has, then the being is sentient. We engage in speciesist thinking when we claim that a being must have a humanlike mind to count morally. That is, it is speciesist to claim that a being must have a reflective sense of self awareness, or conceptual thought, or the general ability to experience life in the way that humans do in order to have the moral right not to be used as a resource. As long as there is someone there who is subjectively aware and who, in that being’s own way, cares about what happens to him or to her, that is all that is necessary to have the moral right not to be used as a resource.

What does this mean, and what do you do? The opportunity to claim exemptions is part of the process of collecting a judgment entered in a North Carolina lawsuit. Before you are at the point of having a Notice of Right to Have Exemptions Designated served upon you, a number of things have already happened. A lawsuit was filed against you, and you would have been served a summons along with a copy of the plaintiff's complaint. Additionally, a judgment has been entered.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: it's better to have inconvenienced yourself in taking too much caution and not have the thing expected not happen than to conveniently do without and be unprepared when the unexpected happened. For example, I own a network marketing business. A major part of my work is meeting prospects (possible future partners or clients) and letting them have a look at the business plan so they can explore which options suit them best. The goal is to start up those who are ready to work with the right tools, to register those who want to use products and have access to the 30% discount, and to offer quality products and personal service to those who don't want to have anything to do with the business. If I'm serious about building my business, I expect that one of these will happen at the end of the presentation of the business plan. That's why each time I walk out the house I carry a briefcase with me containing a registration kit, business support material, and small products for sale--and people think \"\"what the hell is she doing carrying an extra 3-4 kilos around, hopping on and off the bus?\"\". And half the days I do come home still carrying the reg kit, extra literature, and products because the situation \"\"wasn't quite right\"\" to close a deal. But I don't mind--I'd rather inconvenience myself carrying more than I had to carry that day than have a day when someone unexpectedly say \"\"I'm ready\"\" and not have a reg kit, tools, or products for him. That means that I have erred on the side of caution." } ]

They wonder what cleanser is the right cleanser, how hard can they scrub the incision, and if they should be worried about drainage coming out of the incision. Don't worry, incision care is not difficult, and with some quick tips you will be able to take care of your incision like a professional. Proper incision care is absolutely essential for preventing infection and other complications, the good news is that you will be educated on wound care before returning home after your procedure. The added bonus is that this care, along with help from your surgeon, can help prevent scars. Plan on spending a minimum of 10 to 20 minutes caring for your incision each day, or more if you have multiple incisions or special incision care instructions. This is enough time to inspect your incision and change your bandage, if you have one. With minimally invasive surgery techniques becoming more and more common, many patients don't even have bandages on their incisions. Incision Care In The Hospital After your surgery, it is likely that your surgeon will perform the first bandage change on your incisions. This is so the incision can be inspected for signs of infection and to make sure that the incision is going to close completely." }, { "docid": "D1380344#0", "title": "https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/air-on-the-side-of-caution.2094431/\nAir on the side of caution?", "text": "\"Hello, A friend of mine (English native speaker) wrote \"\"air on the side of caution\"\" instead of \"\"err on the side of caution\"\" in an informal email she sent me.

How you do this will vary but an important part of healing, regardless of the method, is managing the physical symptoms of anxiety. The reality is that it’s difficult to make progress when your body is under constant assault by chest pain, palpitations and other symptoms. Anxiety symptoms breed terror and ferocious mental unrest making it hard to do anything much less get better. I always tell people and firmly believe that the key to stopping anxiety is confronting anxious thoughts. But how are you supposed to confront your thoughts when you can’t even be sure that you’re going to survive? If you are consumed with fear or lost in rumination you will remain immobilized and held hostage by rotten ideas and aimless worry. Okay, cool, so anxiety symptoms are bad. What can you do about it? One of the most effective ways to calm the body during a bout of acute anxiety is through the use of fast acting anxiety medication." } ]

Miller, Climate Prediction Center, Hai-Tien Lee and Jeannette D. Wild, Research and Data Systems, Inc. Introduction With the successful completion of the Experimental Ultraviolet Index program initiated June 28, 1994, the National Weather Service (NWS) in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began issuing the Ultra Violet (UV) Index forecast as of April 3, 1995. The UV Index (UVI) is a mechanism by which the American public is forewarned of tomorrow's noontime intensity of UV radiation at locations within the U. S. The EPA's role in this effort is to alert the public of the dangerous health effects of overexposure to, and the accumulative effects of, UV radiation, as well as to provide ground level monitoring data for use in ongoing verification of the UVI. The National Weather Service calculates the UVI using existing atmospheric measurements, forecasts, and an advanced radiative transfer model. This paper will discuss the justification for a forecasted index, the nature of UV radiation, the methodology of producing the UVI, results from verifying the UVI, how the UVI is disseminated, and how to use the UVI information. The Problem Since World War II changes in the public's lifestyle have resulted in an increase in exposure (and overexposure) to UV radiation over a period of years to decades. This has contributed to an increase in the number of diagnoses of melanoma (i.e. skin cancer) and the number of cataract diagnoses has risen dramatically since 1980. This increase has also been noted in many other countries for similar reasons. The National Cancer Institute expects over 730,000 cases of skin cancer to be diagnosed in 1994 in the U. S. alone. Skin cancer is not just \"\"skin deep\"\", it can be lethal. In 1994, the American Cancer Society (1994) estimates that skin cancers accounted for 9,200 deaths: 6,900 from malignant melanoma and 2,300 from nonmalignant melanoma skin cancers." }, { "docid": "D3456801#0", "title": "http://www.poc-services.co.uk/products/ldx_faqs.htm\n.", "text": "\"Cholestech L·D·X ® FAQ's We are here to provide you with information to help you understand and run your Cholestech L·D·X® System.

Basically, this means running the Command Prompt program (cmd.exe) with administrator level privileges. You'll know if you need to run a particular command from within an elevated Command Prompt because it'll clearly tell you that in an error message after running the command. For example, when you try to execute the sfc command from a normal Command Prompt window, you'll get the \"\"Y ou must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility\"\" message. Try the chkdsk command and you'll get an \"\"Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode. \"\" error. Other commands give other messages, but regardless of how the message is phrased, or what Command Prompt command we're talking about, the solution is simple: open an elevated Command Prompt and execute the command again.

Designed earlier for industrial networking but recently more adopted to automotive applications, CAN have gained widespread popularity for embedded control in the areas like industrial automation, automotives, mobile machines, medical, military and other harsh environment network applications. Development of the CAN-bus started originally in 1983 at Robert Bosch Gmb H. The protocol was officially released in 1986. and the first CAN controller chips, produced by Intel and Philips, introduced in the market in the year of 1987. Introduction: The CAN is a \"\"broadcast\"\" type of bus. That means there is no explicit address in the messages. All the nodes in the network are able to pick-up or receive all transmissions. There is no way to send a message to just a specific node. To be more specific, the messages transmitted from any node on a CAN bus does not contain addresses of either the transmitting node, or of any intended receiving node.

Users should wipe down the machine after each workout with a Gym Wipes wipe to remove any residual sweat as it is corrosive to the metal surfaces and may cause rusting over time. Routine maintenance should include cleaning, inspecting and possibly some lubrication and adjustments. Unplug your treadmill and remove the hood cover.

According to Darcy Ladd, Manager of the Chilbolton Radio Observatory, in an interview with Colin Andrews, the image appeared “suddenly on the morning of August 14th. ”According to Mr. Ladd,“No unusual activity was seen that morning, in the field or [in terms of] aircraft overhead, etc ….”According to the Manager, Chilbolton does have security cameras, but they are not equipped for night vision surveillance. The cameras captured “nothing unusual.” The image which confronted the Telescope personnel that morning bore a striking resemblance to the July, 1976 Viking image of the \"\"Face on Mars\"\" (below image) - right down to the appearance of asymmetry and \"\"erosion\"\" on the right hand side. Curiously (considering what was to happen next) this “Cydonia resemblance glyph” appeared just four days after our own publication of a provocative, new, comprehensive theory of Mars - our Mars Tidal Model Paper (that detail will become important later). Though first noticed by the telescope employees on the 14th, the Chilbolton \"\"Face\"\" was not reported (and NOT by the facility staff) until Sunday, August 19th. Its announcement in England caused an immediate worldwide sensation on the Internet - not the least, because it struck many observers as a deliberate effort to remind everyone of the infamous Face on Mars. For one thing, the Face crop effort seemed to be designed to replicate the light and shading of the original Viking Cydonia image (below, right). The Face turned out, under a \"\"Gaussian blur filter\"\" (thanks to Paul Lowrance - below, left), to bear a strong resemblance to a somewhat primitive human face - not unlike the left hand side of the human/feline hybrid of the Face on Mars ... if the Face’s erosion was removed." }, { "docid": "D479196#0", "title": "http://www.qaquestions.org/qa-interview-questions/\nQA Interview Questions", "text": "QA Interview Questions Q1.

Birthday wishes fall under a few different categories: sincere, funny, or encouraging. The best messages are personal or have something to do with the person. If humor is appropriate, then you can use one of the funny examples below. If you are looking for sincere messages you will also find those examples. Then add something specific about the person when you write your message. Sincere Messages If you don't want to go with a funny message, you can use one of these more serious and sincere messages.

First things first First, check if you have enough free disk space (at least 1 gigabyte) on your hard drive. If not, read the Remove temporary files article on how to get rid of unnecessary files with CCleaner. Second, verify that time and date are correct on your PC - a date in the past or the future prevents both Windows Update and Genuine Windows Validation tool from working properly.

Recovery information includes the recovery password for each Bit Locker-protected drive, the TPM owner password, and the information required to identify which computers and drives the recovery information applies to. Optionally, you can also save a package containing the actual keys used to encrypt the data as well as the recovery password required to access those keys. Using AD DS to store Bit Locker recovery information Backing up recovery passwords for a Bit Locker-protected drive allows administrators to recover the drive if it is locked. This ensures that encrypted data belonging to the enterprise can always be accessed by authorized users. Backing up the TPM owner information for a computer allows administrators to locally and remotely configure the TPM security hardware on that computer. As an example, an administrator might want to reset the TPM to factory defaults when decommissioning or repurposing computers. In a default Bit Locker installation, recovery information is not backed up and local users must be responsible for keeping a copy of the recovery password or recovery key. If the user loses that information or neglects to decrypt the drive before leaving the organization, the administrator cannot easily get access to the drive. To mitigate this situation, administrators can configure Group Policy settings to enable backup of Bit Locker and TPM recovery information." } ]

The 2,700–page anthology, which includes 201 authors, arrives at a pertinent moment. According to recent census statistics, more than one out of every two people added to the U.

Because swordfish steaks are thicker than most fish steaks, the steaks are perfect for cooking on a hot grill. Experiment with various sauces and seasonings, as the mild flavor of swordfish can be paired with a variety of flavors. Serve grilled swordfish with a vegetable or a salad and hot, crusty bread for a healthy meal any day of the week. Steps1 Create a marinade for the swordfish steaks, as a marinade adds flavor and keeps the swordfish moist and tender. A marinade can consist of a variety of ingredients depending on your preferences. Start with combination of liquids such as Teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, wine vinegar, fresh lemon juice, salad dressing, tomato sauce or ketchup. A bit of honey or brown sugar adds a sweet flavor. If you prefer a fiery marinade, try chili powder or Tabasco sauce. A small amount oil such as butter or olive oil mixed in the marinade prevents the swordfish steaks from sticking to the grill." }, { "docid": "D340453#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/In_what_bleach_episode_does_ichigo_fight_Byakuya_with_his_hollow\nIn which Bleach episode does Ichigo fight Kenpachi?", "text": "In which Bleach episode does Ichigo fight Kenpachi?from 36 to 40Pedrorr 6 Contributions What episode did ichigo fight Byakuya?well it is hard to say because i would think it would be in episode 16&17 of the anime because in episode16 it continued into episode 17 anyway back to the question ichigo di …Ishima12 1 Contribution In which episode of Bleach does Ichigo become a hollow?

Well heres the deal, anyone ever notice how Ichigo uses Bankai AND his hollow powers together just to match up to the rest of the Vizards? The guy uses Bankai against Vizards who never even release their Zanpakuto! And also how come other Shinigami can fight on par with the Arancars (even though they struggle they either win or it ends in a draw) and Ichigo needs to go all Hollow mode. I mean if a captain level Shinigami like Hitsugaya can take care of an Arrancar, and Vice-captains like Renji or Rangiku can fight em, Rukia even took down an Espada! And shes not even a seated officer (even though shes officially at the level of a vice-captain) My point is, either Ichigo is getting crappy or everyone else is getting too strong to make sense, i dunno anyone else think the same?

It is postulated by many that the Native People have been in this country for 40,000 years, others say 11,000. Native People say they have been here since they were formed by the Creator and that they are a part of the environment and that Nature is part of them. Let's go back 300 years ago when Native People were the majority in what is now Bexar County. The mix of flora and fauna of Bexar County would be markedly different than that of today.

Well if you ever take up kendo or kenjutsu those \"\"cool\"\" swords you bought for a lot may turn out to be actually a cool cash trap. While you're reading this you can learn some Japanese terms also. Steps1 Check to see if the Tsukaito (binding) is tight. Skip this step if there is no Tsukaito.2 Make sure the sword has a Sageo if you plan to use the sword.3 Check that the tip of the blade is not at a very acute angle.4 Consider what the blade is made of. If someone says the sword is carbon steel they probably don't know what they're saying, in this context (Steel always has carbon in it otherwise it would be iron). However, more generally, the term carbon steel is useful to distinguish non-stainless from stainless blades. A genuine ancient or functional Japanese blade would not be stainless, however. If it is stainless, it is almost certainly a modern reproduction designed to only be placed on a wall - it will have little value and will not hold an edge well, if at all.5 Learn how to check blade sharpness safely. If the blade has been properly maintained or is recently created for use (some genuine modern blades do exist) then ensure the blade is sharper than any kitchen knife you've ever known." } ]

There has also been a tiger shark fatality in January 1997. A majority are in the humpback whale migration season, even though far fewer people swim during winter and spring - although surfers are more common during winter months. Great whites are coming to where the food has become plentiful, particularly whale calves and adult carcasses, and the timing of fatalities since 1995 suggests a correlation with the humpback's WA migration, particularly the southern swim from the Kimberley to the Antarctic with newborn. That is when the humpbacks hug the coastline to protect their calves, increasing their proximity to humans. Latest attacks in Western Australia Over recent years, Western Australia has gained an international reputation as the deadliest place in the world for fatal shark attacks. One of the biggest great whites ever caught in the world was a six metre specimen in 1987 at Ledge Point. This location is just 20 kilometres south of a great white shark attack on 14 July 2012 that took the life of surfer Ben Linden.

Cousins, 33, was dramatically arrested at Esperance Airport on Tuesday night where he was allegedly found with 4.56g of methylamphetamine inside his body. Two waiting undercover officers arrested and reportedly strip-searched him after he stepped off the plane at about 7.15pm. The troubled former Eagles star and 2005 Brownlow Medallist, was later released on bail after being charged with possession of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply. Police will allege the drug was found hidden inside Cousins' rectum. Possessing more than four grams of methylamphetamine with intent to sell or supply carries a maximum penalty of $100,000 fine and/or 25 years' jail. Police are today analysing the drug to ascertain exactly what it was. Last night when Cousins arrived back in Perth he refused to talk about his arrest, saying \"\"I've got nothing to say,\"\" as he walked past the waiting media pack in the baggage hall at Perth Domestic Airport. His flight touched down at 9.25pm but there was no one to greet him on arrival and a clearly agitated Cousins walked around the terminal for at least 10 minutes as he waited to be collected. Eventually, he was escorted by four police officers out to the carpark, where it is believed his partner Maylea Tinecheff picked him up." }, { "docid": "D2130566#0", "title": "http://wildstar-central.com/threads/what-is-the-mage-class-spellslinger-or-esper-so-far.5461/\nWhat is the mage class - Spellslinger or Esper ( so far)?", "text": "\"Home Forums > Wild Star Online > Wild Star Classes & Paths >Hey Guest!

You could argue that Spellslinger is the archer class (I don't say hunter because that carries the pet connotation) but I would argue that archers have been mages with bows instead of staves since EQ rather than the archers/rangers of pen and paper games.

The French composer Albert Wolff wrote an opera (first performed at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1919) based on Maeterlinck's original play, and Maeterlinck's innamorata Georgette Leblanc produced a novelization. The story is about a girl called Mytyl and her brother Tyltyl seeking happiness, represented by The Blue Bird of Happiness, aided by the good fairy Bérylune.

However, i have found a detailed history of its slogan which might help you to understand better why many tattoos lovers are attracted by this one. As seen at Death Before Dishonor Tattoo: The slogan of “Death Before Dishonor”, frequently written in a coiling scroll wrapped around a dagger, is a perennially popular military tattoo–and for good reason. The saying has been used for military units at least as early as ancient Rome (“morte prima di disonore”). By the time of the famed Roman senator and historian Tacitus (AD 56 to ca. 117), the vow of “death before dishonor” had become ‘old-fashioned’ and something espoused by the barbari or barbarians such as Caratacus (chief of the British, who revolted against Rome). However, some two centuries earlier it was Catiline (108 to 62 BC), the Roman politician who attempted to overthrow the Roman Republic, who had urged it and Cataline may even have been influenced by Thucydides (the Greek historian of 460 to 395 BC who wrote about the Peloponnesian War). However, the famous concept of death as preferable to dishonor, if not the actual phrase, is not restricted to the western world. For example, it was also advocated in the Japanese bushido code of samurai warriors who would rather die than live with the dishonor brought on by surrender." }, { "docid": "D3305441#0", "title": "https://www.thebalance.com/marine-corps-mess-night-3332784\nThe Tradition of Marine Corps Mess Night", "text": "\"Military Branches U.

A Marine is assigned to be president of the mess; he is in charge and controls the flow of events.

During these months, the Continental Army underwent a massive transformation. Prussian Baron Friedrich von Stueben trained a Model Company of soldiers in proper drill and maneuver. These soldiers then returned to their regiments and passed on the training. This means that every unit in the Army was using the same drill manual, which had not been the case before. This manual, known as the Blue Book, has been modified and adapted over 2 centuries and is the basis for modern close order drill in the US military. Each movement, from loading and firing a musket to marching in lines and columns, was enumerated, step-by-step, giving rise to the expression of doing things “by the numbers”. After Valley Forge, Washington had a professionally trained and hardened force to use against the British … which he did at the Battle of Monmouth that spring. Although a tactical draw, it was the first time Washington and his army met the British on even terms in a full-scale, traditional European-style battle and did not panic at the sight of the Briyish bayonet, but traded the redcoats blow for blow and demonstrating their own prowess wiyh the bayonet.

Cultures also share languages, or ways of speaking. From a communication perspective, cultures are made and remade through the words we use to describe our world. Culture represents a common set of values (“shared meanings”), shared by members of a population, a organization, a project/programme purpose unit or a profession (e.g., engineers versus scientists).

Organizational culture plays several important roles.culture unites (brings together) employees by providing a sense of identity with the organization.culture enables organizations to differentiate themselves from one another.culture often generates commitment, superceding personal interests.culture sets organization norms, rules and standards. Thereby, culture enables employees to function in an organization, by teaching them how to behave.culture becomes especially important in a program/project based organization.

For some in the military, R and R may cause problems. For example, sailors often have a very difficult time adjusting to life onshore because of their cramped and confined living conditions while at sea. The time away can actually provide no rest because service members may go through a few days adjustment to the wide-open freedom allowed by being on land.

Zagorsky , The Conversation09.05.2016 • 3:30 PM • 0 Comments This article was originally published on The Conversation. Labor Day is a U. S. national holiday held the first Monday every September. Unlike most U. S. holidays, it is a strange celebration without rituals, except for shopping and barbecuing. For most people it simply marks the last weekend of summer and the start of the school year. The holiday’s founders in the late 1800s envisioned something very different from what the day has become. The founders were looking for two things: a means of unifying union workers and a reduction in work time. History of Labor Day The first Labor Day occurred in 1882 in New York City under the direction of that city’s Central Labor Union. In the 1800s, unions covered only a small fraction of workers and were balkanized and relatively weak. The goal of organizations like the Central Labor Union and more modern-day counterparts like the AFL-CIO was to bring many small unions together to achieve a critical mass and power." } ]

As with much of my experience of Catalonia in general, there is so much more to the cuisine than first meets the eye - think less paellas and chorizo and more butifarra and fideuas. Barcelona and its surrounding areas have become renowned internationally for food and the culture of eating.

The black fungus, more expensive than gold, grows from December to March in oak forests and is found in loose soil just below the surface. Truffle hunters traditionally used pigs to sniff out the precious delicacy, but today dogs are preferred. Most of the produce is exported to France, but local markets are also held. The truffle has so far resisted attempts to cultivate it, which keeps prices high. They are used (sparingly) in both meat and fish dishes. At the other end of the price spectrum we find cannelloni, the popularity of which can no doubt be traced back to the arrival of Italian cooks to Catalonia. The cannelloni are similar to their Italian counterparts the are found especially around Barcelona. Canalones a la Catalana is made from ground beef and chicken pieces in a creamy sauce.

The country gained its current autonomous status first in the Republican era (1931-1939) and then again after Franco's death in 1975 and continues to press for more political and economic autonomy, mainly in the form of the right to decide on language, education, culture, healthcare and its political future.

You know in Spanish how 'es' is used a lot? Está means the same thing!! The difference is that 'es' is the 2nd person singular form of SER, whereas 'está' is the 2nd person singular form of ESTAR. It's hard to explain, but you'll get when to use each one in the end. Basically, for a fact or something permanent, you use 'ser'. For example: Ella es Dominicana = She is Dominican. ' Ser' is used because your nationality is something that doesn't change (unless you change it, which is unlikely)." }, { "docid": "D1096739#0", "title": "http://www.answers.com/Q/Spanish_word_for_haciendo\nWhat does haciendo mean in English?", "text": "\"What does haciendo mean in English?

Columbia University1996The federal government of the United States was created by the Constitution, which went into operation in 1789 when the first Congress convened and George Washington took the oath of office as president. The government is called federal because it was formed by a compact (the Constitution) among 13 political units (the states). These states agreed to give up part of their independence, or sovereignty, in order to form a central authority and submit themselves to it. Thus, what was essentially a group of 13 separate countries under the Articles of Confederation united to form one nation under the Constitution When the Declaration of Independence was issued in 1776, it used the term United States of America. Until the Constitution was adopted and ratified, however, the 13 states did not really form one nation. They each held onto so many powers individually, including conducting foreign policy and trade negotiations, that the Continental Congress could only do what the states allowed. The Articles were never the law of the land to the extent that the Constitution is. In essence, the United States as a nation did not come into existence until the Constitution began to function as the framework of the government. Once the Constitution was in place, tension between the states and the federal government did not automatically cease.

I pulled out a 100.00 dollar bill, but the back side of the bill was red, a very bright color red. Our comments30, 60, 100As I asked the Lord about the meaning of the 100-dollar bill, the Lord reminded me of the following passage:\"\"But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty .\"\" ( Matthew 13:23) [ The word \"\"word\"\" was translated from the Greek word logos, which, as we have said before , speaks of God's judgments]Why did the Lord mention the numbers \"\"30\"\", \"\"60\"\", and \"\"100\"\"? To answer that, we have to consider an interesting detail: of the 3 numbers, the only one that is not a multiple of 30 is the last one, 100. If you start from zero , you need to add 30 to get to 30. From there, you need to add 30 more to get to 60, and you need to add 40 more to reach 100. Therefore, the numbers 30 and 60 speak of two similar stages, while the number 100 speaks of a third stage that \"\"expands beyond\"\" the height of the first two stages. It is worth noting that the apostolic \"\"30\"\" must go before the prophetic \"\"30\"\" because Scripture mentions that apostles are \"\"first\"\" and prophets are \"\"second\"\" when listing a specific order of operation in 1 Corinthians 12:28, and it mentions apostles before prophets when speaking of \"\"foundation\"\" in Ephesians 2:20.

John Stuart Mill is one liberal theorist who tackled the issue, but his arguments about the matter are often misconstrued. Much of the debate about Mill’s feminism turns on the role of the state in effecting moral and political change in society. Mill’s critics focus on his minimal legal prescriptions, believing them to be insufficient for achieving justice and equality in any meaningful sense. His supporters point to how much he expected the rigidity of gender roles to weaken for the better, which, in their view, suggests Mill envisioned a large role for the state in bringing about this change. Both views overlook a central tenet in Mill’s thought, which is that such shifts in values would come about only when the conditions for progress were in place. Although the state has an important role in creating the requisite conditions, it could not itself impose moral progress on its citizens. Progress is a political notion for Mill, but he did not narrowly conceive of politics as merely the business of the state." }, { "docid": "D1010995#0", "title": "http://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/obamacare-and-the-limits-of-judicial-conservatism\nObamacare and the Limits of Judicial Conservatism", "text": "\"Obamacare and the Limits of Judicial Conservatism Eric R. Claeys Summer 2011T he Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, often called \"\"Obamacare,\"\" poses one of the gravest challenges to republican self-government since the Civil War. It establishes a vast array of new entitlements, cost controls, and regulations over the health sector that comprises one-sixth of the U. S. economy. And it raises profound constitutional concerns — not only because of its sheer scope, but also because of the authority it claims for the federal government. When Obamacare was enacted, opponents believed they had only one avenue of recourse: campaign for three years to overturn the law, and then make the 2012 election a referendum on repeal. This strategy has had a promising start. The 2010 midterm elections swept into Congress many Republicans who had campaigned on reversing President Obama's health-care agenda. In January 2011, the new Republican House promptly passed a repeal bill, and Obamacare remains quite unpopular with the public. Yet no one can say for sure that the legislative repeal strategy will succeed. One could hardly blame Obamacare's opponents for seeking to overturn the law by other, swifter, means. And in the past six months, some of these opponents have come to believe they have found such a means: a suit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of key provisions of the law." }, { "docid": "D2646147#0", "title": "http://cidh.oas.org/countryrep/JusticiaJuvenileng/jjii.eng.htm\n.", "text": "\"JUVENILE JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE AMERICASII. THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM12. In this chapter, the Commission will examine the relevant principles and guarantees that should govern the specialized system of justice that applies to children in conflict with the law. The IACHR’s analysis will be carried out in light of the model that is premised upon comprehensive protection [11] of the rights of children and adolescents and contemporary international human rights law that recognizes children as subjects of their rights and not as objects of protection. The principles and guarantees to be analyzed in this report refer to and must be observed by the entire specialized juvenile justice system, including police authorities, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, public defenders and all agencies that have a hand in enforcing any measures and penalties ordered.13. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Inter-American Court” or “the I/A Court H. R.”) has highlighted that it is obvious that a child participates in criminal court proceedings under different conditions from those of an adult: “to argue otherwise would disregard reality and omit adoption of special measures for protection of children, to their grave detriment. Therefore, it is indispensable to recognize and respect differences in treatment which correspond to different situations among those participating in proceedings.” [ 12]14. Thus, in application of the legal framework for the protection of human rights, children who have violated, or have been accused of violating, criminal law must not only be accorded the same guarantees that every adult enjoys, but special measures of protection as well. The Commission will reference certain norms, principles and guarantees that member States must observe when enforcing juvenile justice in a manner that respects and ensures this special protection that children and adolescents require." }, { "docid": "D2133121#0", "title": "https://www.csustan.edu/philosophy/platos-study-guide\nPlato's Study Guide", "text": "\"Plato's REPUBLICBOOK I1: The Conversation with Cephalus (329a-331d): How does the conversation between Cephalus and Socrates evolve into a dialogue about the nature and definition of \"\"justice?\"\" What is the definition of justice proposed by Cephalus?

The Declaration consists of seven sections, and stipulates six matters: It asserts the natural right of the Jewish people to be like all other peoples, exercising self-determination in its sovereign state. It proclaims the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, named \"\"the State of Israel. \"\" It establishes provisional institutions of state governance: the Provisional Council of State and the Provisional Government. It states that an elected constituent assembly will formulate a constitution within several months. It sets forth the principles of the political rule of the newly formed state. It calls for peace and cooperation with the Arabs of Israel, the neighboring countries and their peoples, the Jewish people throughout the Diaspora, and the United Nations Organization. Fascimile of the Declaration of Independence (Hebrew) 150 KBThe Text of the Declaration The first section of the Declaration, which may be considered its historical preface, succinctly reviews the ties of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel in concrete historical terms as well as in aspirations. This section, which takes up nearly half the declaration, makes reference to the following subjects: (a) the political, cultural, and religious formation of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel, and its political independence there; (b) the hopes of the Jewish people to return to its homeland from all parts of the Diaspora; (c)immigration and settlement in the country, and the aspiration for independence and statehood; (d)international recognition of the Jewish peoples right to return to the country, in the Balfour Declaration; (e) the lesson of the Holocaust that Jewish independence is a necessity; (f)the clandestine immigration of Holocaust survivors to Palestine and the yishuvs contribution to the war effort against the Nazis, which entitles it to be among the founders of the United Nations; and (g) the recognition, expressed in the UN partition resolution, of the Jewish peoples right to its own state.

The existing system has been derived from the dependent derivative authority of the legislatures of the states; whereas, this is derived from the superior power of the people. ”It's those three words and the following twelve that immediately tell us how the Constitution differs from the Articles of Confederation.

This is currently a minority view among originalists. The original meaning theory, which is closely related to textualism, is the view that interpretation of a written constitution or law should be based on what reasonable persons living at the time of its adoption would have understood the ordinary meaning of the text to be.

Madison (1803)", "text": "\"Marbury v. Madison (1803)Just as George Washington helped shape the actual form that the executive branch would take, so the third chief justice, John Marshall, shaped the role that the courts would play. Under the administrations of Washington and his successor, John Adams, only members of the ruling Federalist Party were appointed to the bench, and under the terms of the Constitution, they held office for life during \"\"good behavior.\"\" Thus, when the opposing Republicans won the election of 1800, the Jeffersonians found that while they controlled the presidency and Congress, the Federalists still dominated the judiciary. One of the first acts of the new administration was to repeal the Judiciary Act of 1800, which had created a number of new judgeships. Although President Adams had attempted to fill the vacancies prior to the end of his term, a number of commissions had not been delivered, and one of the appointees, William Marbury, sued Secretary of State James Madison to force him to deliver his commission as a justice of the peace. The new chief justice, John Marshall, understood that if the Court awarded Marbury a writ of mandamus (an order to force Madison to deliver the commission) the Jefferson administration would ignore it, and thus significantly weaken the authority of the courts. On the other hand, if the Court denied the writ, it might well appear that the justices had acted out of fear. Either case would be a denial of the basic principle of the supremacy of the law. Marshall's decision in this case has been hailed as a judicial tour de force. In essence, he declared that Madison should have delivered the commission to Marbury, but then held that the section of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that gave the Supreme Court the power to issue writs of mandamus exceeded the authority allotted the Court under Article III of the Constitution, and was therefore null and void." }, { "docid": "D20163#0", "title": "http://www.iep.utm.edu/justwest/\nWestern Theories of Justice", "text": "Western Theories of Justice Justice is one of the most important moral and political concepts. The word comes from the Latin jus, meaning right or law. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the “just” person as one who typically “does what is morally right” and is disposed to “giving everyone his or her due,” offering the word “fair” as a synonym. But philosophers want to get beyond etymology and dictionary definitions to consider, for example, the nature of justice as both a moral virtue of character and a desirable quality of political society, as well as how it applies to ethical and social decision-making. This article will focus on Western philosophical conceptions of justice. These will be the greatest theories of ancient Greece (those of Plato and Aristotle) and of medieval Christianity ( Augustine and Aquinas ), two early modern ones ( Hobbes and Hume ), two from more recent modern times (Kant and Mill), and some contemporary ones (Rawls and several successors). Typically the article considers not only their theories of justice but also how philosophers apply their own theories to controversial social issues—for example, to civil disobedience, punishment, equal opportunity for women, slavery, war, property rights, and international relations. For Plato, justice is a virtue establishing rational order, with each part performing its appropriate role and not interfering with the proper functioning of other parts. Aristotle says justice consists in what is lawful and fair, with fairness involving equitable distributions and the correction of what is inequitable. For Augustine, the cardinal virtue of justice requires that we try to give all people their due; for Aquinas, justice is that rational mean between opposite sorts of injustice, involving proportional distributions and reciprocal transactions." }, { "docid": "D411649#0", "title": "http://myold.lawsociety.org.nz/in-practice/practising-law/transactions/what-does-untenantable-mean\nWhat does âuntenantableâ mean?", "text": "By Ben France-Hudson*Recent comments in legal publications suggest dissatisfaction with the courts’ approach to the test for untenantability under clause 26.1 of the ADLS Inc Deed of Lease ( Law Talk 789, 17 February 2012, page 12). There is limited judicial discussion of untenantability. The current approach can be traced back to Justice Robertson in DFC New Zealand Ltd v Samson (1993) ANZ Conv R 481 where he suggested that untenantability involved a degree of permanence and was likely to be established where there was substantial interference with a tenant’s ability to enjoy, use and operate the premises. This has been approved in the different context of agreements for sale and purchase. However, 2011 saw a rash of cases concerning the meaning of untenantability under the ADLS Inc lease. In Russell v Robinson [2011] 2 NZLR 424 (April), the tenant’s painters caused a fire resulting in extensive damage. Justice Priestley rejected the tenant’s argument that if they wished to remain in the premises it could not properly be described as “untenantable”. He noted that untenantable is an objective state to be determined on specific relevant facts. The focus of the inquiry must be on whether the premises are capable of being tenanted by the tenant who went into the premises for a specific purpose and term. Consequently, the tenant’s purpose is integral to the permitted use of the premises and, in turn, whether the premises have become untenantable." }, { "docid": "D1410065#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCulloch_v._Maryland\nMcCulloch v.

Most induced seismicity is of a low magnitude.

[ 1]Results of ongoing multi-year research on induced earthquakes by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) published in 2015 suggested that most of the significant earthquakes in Oklahoma, such as the 1952 magnitude 5.7 El Reno earthquake may have been induced by deep injection of waste water by the oil industry. \"\" Earthquake rates have recently increased markedly in multiple areas of the Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), especially since 2010, and scientific studies have linked the majority of this increased activity to wastewater injection in deep disposal wells.\"\" [ 2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]: 2 [8]Induced seismicity can also be caused by the injection of carbon dioxide as the storage step of carbon capture and storage, which aims to sequester carbon dioxide captured from fossil fuel production or other sources in earth’s crust as a means of climate change mitigation. This effect has been observed in Oklahoma and Saskatchewan. [ 9] Though safe practices and existing technologies can be utilized to reduce the risk of induced seismicity due to injection of carbon dioxide, the risk is still significant if the storage is large in scale." }, { "docid": "D494145#0", "title": "http://www.askmefast.com/What_does_an_arrow_next_to_an_email_in_my_sent_folder_mean_on_my_iPhone-qna37192.html\n.", "text": "\"Email In Technical Web Typography Guidelines And Techniques Q What does an arrow next to an email in my sent folder mean on my iphone?

Epitopes can be generally divided into two main classes: linear and conformational. Linear epitopes are formed by a continuous sequence of amino acids in a protein, while conformational epitopes are composed of amino acids that are discontinuous in the protein sequence but are brought together upon three-dimensional protein folding . The vast majority of antigen-antibody interactions rely upon binding to conformational epitopes. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Importance for antibody characterization2 Epitopes and intellectual property3 Methods4 See also5 References6 External links Importance for antibody characterization [ edit]Epitope mapping is an important component in the development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (m Abs) and vaccines. Specifically, epitope mapping can allow determination of the therapeutic mechanism of action of individual m Abs e.g. blocking ligand binding or trapping a protein in a non-functional state. [ 4] However, many therapeutic antibodies target conformational epitopes that are particularly difficult to map because they are only formed in the native structure of a protein. [ 3] [5] Epitope mapping is also crucial to developing vaccines against prevalent viral diseases such as Dengue virus." }, { "docid": "D889592#0", "title": "http://www.thenamemeaning.com/estefania/\nEstefania", "text": "Estefania What does the name Estefania mean?

All it requires on your part is the commitment to go out and run 3, preferably 5 times, a week. You’ll know how often to run, by listening to your body. Some people take more time to recover between workouts and need to run fewer times a week, while others recover very quickly and can run more. Also, be sure to meet your body’s daily nutritional requirements, as you need these nutrients to get stronger from your running sessions. Eating right will help you recover faster from your workouts.

Most people would enjoy the first few years of being newlywed and will consider having their first child a few years later. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan for it still!Have you considered how expensive it will be to raise a child? From food, clothing, education, hobbies and healthcare to entertainment and caretaker costs—having a child costs you a lot more than just love and fresh air. According to an annual study in the UK by the Centre of Economic and Business Research (CEBR), the cost of raising a child to the age of 21 has reached £230,000 (RM1,538,493*) as parents pay 63% more since 2003, with education and childcare remaining as the biggest costs. In the US, the USDA estimated that it costs US$245,340 or US$304,480 (RM1,338,845.83**) after inflation to raise a child born in 2013 until the age of 18, which is 1.8% higher than the number from last year’s report.

While there's no right or wrong decision to make, there are some important things you should know about birthing a large baby. Ami Burns How big is too big? The average size of a healthy, full-term newborn is 7-1/2 pounds. When a baby weighs at least 4000 grams (8 pounds, 13 ounces) or 4500 grams (9 pounds, 15 ounces) he is considered macrosomic, literally meaning \"\"large body. \"\" Your doctor or midwife may use ultrasound or fundal height measurements to estimate baby's size. These measurements are just that -- estimates -- and studies show they can be off by a pound or even more. ( Find out more in our article, How accurate are fetal weight estimates? . ) Risk factors Risk factors for having a big baby include genetics like the height and weight of mom and dad, ethnicity (Hispanic moms tend to have bigger babies), sex (newborn boys tend to weigh more than girls) and maternal or gestational diabetes.

However, most people do not realize that in almost all cases, delivery times are estimated and not guaranteed. This means it's not possible to sue the USPS for failing to deliver first class mail or priority mail within the estimated three days for most locations. Here are the estimated delivery times for the US Postal Service: Domestic Priority Mail - usually 2-3 days estimated Domestic 1st Class Mail - usually 1-3 days estimated Domestic Parcel Post - usually 2-9 days estimated Military First Class Mail - 7-10 days (estimate by MPSA - Military Postal Service Agency)Military Priority Mail Parcel - 10-15 days (estimate by MPSA - Military Postal Service Agency)Military Parcel Post - 24 days (estimate by MPSA - Military Postal Service Agency)International Priority Mail - 6-10 business days estimated International First Class - varies depending on destination Bound Printed Matter or Media Mail - may be estimated when postage is calculated For example, if a priority mail package is estimated for two day delivery but takes three weeks to arrive, there is no way to get compensation from the US postal service for the late delivery. Delivery standards for all postal service products other than Express Mail are estimates but they are not delivery guarantees. The only way to get a guaranteed delivery time is to purchase the US Postal Service's Express Mail product. Even if you need a package to arrive on the opposite coast within a week rather than within a day, there is no guarantee that it won't be late unless it's Express Mail. International Express Mail is not guaranteed except for select destinations. Express Mail is the only product that has the ability to track a package along the way. Here are the guarantee delivery times for the US Postal Service when using Express Mail: Domestic Express Mail - guaranteed 1-2 days (by noon or 3pm)International Express Mail - 3-5 days estimated (guaranteed only to select destinations)If there are US Postal Service holidays, adjustments to these estimates may need to be made (other than for Express Mail) depending on the service selected." }, { "docid": "D1626858#0", "title": "https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/is-breech-vaginal-delivery-safe/\nIs breech vaginal delivery safe?", "text": "\"Share this: Tweet Share on Tumblr More Between 3-4% of babies begin labor in the breech (bottom first) position, increasing the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Pre-emptive C-section has become the preferred method of delivery for breech babies, but now some are questioning this recommendation. The controversy is fueled by differing appraisals of the danger and by differing assessments of the whether any risk of neonatal death can be justified in the age of the safe Cesarean. The best conducted and most important study comparing breech vaginal delivery with elective C-section is the Term Breech Trial (TBT) conducted by Mary Hannah and colleagues. It is the only randomized control trial of its kind.… [ W]e found that the fetuses of women allocated planned caesarean section were significantly less likely to die or to experience poor outcomes in the immediate neonatal period than the fetuses of women allocated planned vaginal birth. Although some of the deaths in the planned vaginal birth group were related to difficulty with vaginal breech delivery, others were clearly associated with problems during labour. Thus the avoidance of labour and vaginal breech delivery could have contributed to better outcomes with planned caesarean section…A more recent trial, the PREMODA (PREsentation et MODe d’Accouchement: presentation and mode of delivery) study produced different findings and as a result, some obstetricians have been calling for a re-evaluation of the standard recommendation for C-section delivery of a breech baby. The groups [planned vaginal delivery vs. planned C-section] did not differ significantly for the combined outcome of fetal or neonatal mortality or serious morbidity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10, 95% CI [0.75-1.61]. Of the criteria included in this combined variable, only a 5-minute Apgar score less than 4 was significantly more frequent in the planned vaginal group (n = 4 vs n = 1, OR = 8.9, 95% CI [1.00-79.8]). Of the other individual outcomes, the following were significantly more frequent in the planned vaginal than in the planned cesarean group: 5-minute Apgar score less than 7 (OR = 3.2, 95% CI [1.9-5.3]), total injuries (OR = 3.9, 95% CI [2.4-6.3]), and intubation (OR = 1.8, 95% CI [1.08-3.1])." }, { "docid": "D3143078#0", "title": "http://www.mossadams.com/articles/2014/september/new-revenue-recognition-rules-for-technology\nWhat the FASBâs New Revenue Recognition Guidelines Mean for Technology Companies", "text": "What the FASB’s New Revenue Recognition Guidelines Mean for Technology Companiesby Taft Kortus, Partner, National Technology Practice Leader, Moss Adams, and Scott Ehrlich, Founder and Managing Director, Mind the GAAP9/2014After years of debate, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued final new guidelines on revenue recognition. The rules, which total 700 pages and represent a fundamentally new model for recognizing revenue, become effective in 2017 for nearly all public companies and the following year for nonpublic entities. Although this seems like a long time away, there are important decisions companies must make—and actions they should take—very soon to comply with the new rules. The new guidelines will supersede long-standing industry-specific rules. Familiar concepts such as “persuasive evidence of an agreement,” “delivery,” and “fixed or determinable fees” will be eliminated. Instead the new rules will be more principles-based. Companies will have to apply significant judgment to determine the timing and amount of revenue recognition. This may be challenging for technology companies that have grown accustomed to today’s rigid, rules-based revenue recognition requirements. Interestingly, for many technology companies, the new rules may accelerate the timing of revenue recognition versus today’s GAAP guidelines. For example, vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of post-contract support (PCS) will no longer be required to unbundle a software license arrangement." }, { "docid": "D3367232#0", "title": "https://www.readycloud.com/articles/how-long-for-usps-priority-mail-delivery\nHow Long For USPS Priority Mail Delivery?", "text": "Getting Started with Ready Shipper XYour browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)Here are the answers to the most common Frequently Asked Questions or FAQs that we are asked about group B Strep in pregnancy and beyond. What is group B Strep? Group B Streptococcus (GBS or group B Strep) is a normal bacterium which is carried by 20-40% of adults, most commonly in the gut, and for around 25% of women, in the vagina, usually without symptoms or side-effects. Carrying GBS is perfectly normal and natural and is not associated with any health risks or symptoms to the carrier. GBS can be passed from one person to another through sexual activity, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease, and is also carried by people who have had no sexual contact. Simply carrying GBS (detected from vaginal or rectal swabs) does not require treatment. However, GBS detected in the urine/ blood usually signifies a GBS infection, which may require antibiotics treatment – your doctor can advise further. More information on GBS can be found by clicking here. It’s good to know whether you carry GBS during pregnancy – if detected during your current pregnancy, you should be offered intravenous antibiotics in labour." }, { "docid": "D662765#0", "title": "http://elliemae.com/rt-faq?ref=RT-FAQ\n.", "text": "\"y Important Know Before You Owe questions And more importantly, answers Disclaimer: The following information is intended for general information purposes with the goal of assisting Ellie Mae’s customers in complying with the new KBYO regulations.

A work order might be issued when a computer or other piece of equipment needs to be fixed, when equipment needs to be upgraded or replaced, when a stock of supplies needs to be refilled or in other situations when the client has a need for a certain good or service. There are other items of interest that might be added to the work order form at some point in the process. If the customer has been quoted a specific price for the goods and services requested on the work order from an outside vendor or service provider, that price is often listed. In the event that multiple units are ordered, the work order usually will include a column that lists the total cost of those items. The time and date that the order was issued might be included as well as the time and date when it is expected to be or must be completed. After the work is done or the delivery made, the time and date when this occurred usually is added to complete the document.

It is situated on the northern coast of the country, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, 80 km (50 mi) south of Helsinki, east of Stockholm, north of Riga and west of Saint Petersburg in Harju County. From the 13th century until 1918 (and briefly during the Nazi occupation of Estonia from 1941 to 1944), in languages other than Estonian the city was known as Reval. [ 7] Tallinn occupies an area of 159.2 km 2 (61.5 sq mi) and has a population of 449,160. [ 8]Tallinn, first mentioned in 1219, received city rights in 1248, [9] but the earliest human settlements date back 5,000 years. [ 10] The initial claim over the land was laid by the Danes in 1219, after a successful raid of Lyndanisse led by Valdemar II of Denmark, followed by a period of alternating Scandinavian and German rule. Due to its strategic location, the city became a major trade hub, especially from the 14th to the 16th century, when it grew in importance as part of the Hanseatic League. Tallinn's Old Town is one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Copied Select a Section 1 /0The three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have proven to be staunch American allies since they regained their independence in the early 1990s. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, each has made huge progress in implementing democracy, rule of law, economic freedom, and developing a strong national defense. They accomplished this by aligning themselves with the West—particularly the United States—while rejecting Russian calls to remain neutral or inside the Russian sphere of influence after the end of the Cold War. The desire to integrate into Western political and security structures should not be considered surprising and is simply reflective of the region’s culture and heritage. The Baltic states are Western, not Eastern, in their origins and culture. The history of the Baltic region is one first dominated by Germans, Danes, Poles, and Swedes. Even after being absorbed into Tsarist Russia in the 18th century, the cultural identity of the Baltics remained rooted in the West. [ 1]While small in size and population, the Baltic states represent something much bigger geopolitically: They are staunch defenders of economic freedom, liberal democracy, and human rights.

My Russian parents, who had come to Estonia when they were children, had moved there in the 1960s from the capital, Tallinn, to help build the socialist future. My peculiarly named hometown was, and still is, located quite close to the Russian border, but at a time when the radio constantly played the popular song “Moi adres ne dom I ne ulitsa, moi adres Sovetski Soyuz” (My address is not a house or a street, my address is the Soviet Union), the meaning of the border between Estonia and Russia was something completely different for me than it is now. Most ordinary people at the time believed the Russian propaganda, reflected in everything from education to interior design, that all fifteen republics joined the Soviet Union voluntarily. To doubt this—or worse, share your doubts with someone—was a punishable crime.

Unlike other Baltic states, Estonia, in terms of geography, culture, and linguistics, belongs more to northern rather than eastern Europe. One of the most important factors that shape national identity is language. The Estonian language belongs to the Finno-Ugric grouping of the Uralic language family, which is completely separate from the Indo-European languages, a fact that brings Estonians closer to Finland than to their southern neighbors whose languages are related, albeit distantly, to Russian." }, { "docid": "D204587#0", "title": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Denmark\nFlag of Denmark", "text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Denmark Name Dannebrog Use Civil flag and ensign Proportion 28:34 (14:17) to 28:37Adopted 1748 (merchant ensign), 1842 (military flag), 1854 (private use on land); medieval predecessors (13th/14th c.)Design A red field charged with a white cross extending to the edges; the vertical part of the cross is shifted to the hoist side.

Defrosting salmon in an improper way may lead to incomplete cooking of the fish, as the outer portion of the fish gets soft while the inside of the same remains stiff and frozen and it completely spoils the taste of the dish. However, things are not that invincible as it seems to be because here I have described four convenient ways for defrosting salmon. Following any of these processes you can easily solve your confusion about how to defrost salmon before cooking any salmon recipes. Defrosting Salmon In Various Ways Defrosting Salmon At Room Temperature You can put the salmon in the refrigerator keep it under room temperature for at least 24 hours. Once the fish is kept under room temperature for 24 hours, it will get defrosted and will be tender enough ready for cooking.

Spanish was introduced in Venezuela by the colonizers. Most of them were from Galicia, Basque Country, Andalusia and the Canary Islands. [ citation needed] Perhaps the last of these has been the most fundamental influence on modern Venezuelan Spanish, to the point that Canarian and Venezuelan accents may seem indistinguishable to other Spanish speakers. Italian and Portuguese immigrants from the late 19th and early 20th century have also had an influence. German settlers also left an influence when Venezuela was contracted as a concession by the King of Spain to the German Welser banking family ( Klein-Venedig, 1528–1546). The Spaniards additionally brought African slaves. This is the origin of expressions such as chévere (\"\"excellent\"\"), which comes from Yoruba ché egberi. Other non-Romance words came from Native languages, such as guayoyo (a type of coffee) and caraota ( black bean ). The Venezuelan \"\"snob\"\" (or \"\"sifrino\"\" in colloquial Venezuelan Spanish) accent is often thought of as the \"\"pretty-boy/pretty-girl\"\" or \"\"boy band\"\" accent of Spanish." }, { "docid": "D347605#0", "title": "http://bambinoides.com/list-of-puerto-rican-slang-words-and-phrases/\nList of Puerto Rican slang words and phrases", "text": "This article is a summary of common slang words and phrases used in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican Spanish differs significantly from other dialects of Spanish because of the island’s status as a commonwealth of the United States, which adds sizable English influences to the language. Puerto Ricans often use anglicisms and words made directly from English; for example, “janguiar” means “to hang out”. Puerto Rican Spanish also is influenced by the language of the Taíno original inhabitants of the islands, by those of the African slaves brought by colonial Spain, and by the Spanish dialects of immigrants from the Canary islands and Andalusia. An example of the latter is Puerto Ricans oftenleaving “D” sounds out of words, for instance the word “arrancado” (ripped out) is commonly pronounced and spelled “arrancao”.

Several pronouns further have special forms used after prepositions. Spanish is a pro-drop language with respect to subject pronouns. Like French and other languages with the T–V distinction, modern Spanish has a distinction in its second person pronouns that has no equivalent in modern English. Object pronouns are generally proclitic, and non-emphatic clitic doubling is most often found with dative clitics.

Estradiol is a type of estrogen, the major sex hormone in women. It is secreted by the ovarian follicles. As the follicles grow and develop each month, they produce estradiol. This sets the rest of the reproductive cycle in motion. Why Would You Have Estradiol Checked? A blood test to check estradiol levels is one of the most common fertility tests. One reason to have your estradiol levels checked is to determine your ovaries’ ability to produce eggs (which is known as ovarian reserve ). It can also help to determine if your follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test was accurate or not. Estradiol suppresses FSH." } ]

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

Reducing the side effects of birth control pills (cheers in the gallery!) led to the reduction of the amount of synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin, that they contained and to the development of the ‘new generation’, low dose birth control pills. “ Low dose’ won’t have much meaning for you if you don’t know what this term refers to so the basic information below may help. So How Low can I go with the dose of hormone ingredients and still be effective at preventing pregnancy? Good question, as not all birth control pills contain exactly the same amount of estrogen and progestin. I thought a useful reference for you would be a list of low dose and ultra low dose pills so that you can at least discuss the pros and cons with your doctor and see if you are a good candidate to move from say, a low dose 0.035mg estrogen pill down to an ultra low dose 0.020mg estrogen pill. You may find you experience fewer or reduced side effects. Generic brands in low dose birth control pills are also available.

FSH is an acronym which stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone. Hormones are chemicals in your body that are made in one place and are used in another. As the name suggests, FSH is responsible for stimulating the growth of the egg-bearing follicles in your ovaries. It is one of the two gonadotropins (so called because it stimulates the gonads), the other being its partner, LH, which stands for luteinising hormone. LH and FSH are secreted by the pituitary gland, a small pea-shaped gland below the base of your brain. FSH levels vary during the menstrual cycle and will peak prior to ovulation.

Although these exchanges may have been included because they were amusing and contributed to the comedy of the play, the underlying reason was that they added to the meaning of the play as a whole. By analyzing one of these illogical portions, a deeper understanding of the main themes can be obtained. One such logical problem was Vladimir and Estragon’s faulty memory. Towards the beginning of the play, Vladimir and Estragon argued about whether or not they were waiting for Godot at the correct location and argued about what they had done yesterday. While Estragon insisted that they had waited in the same place the day before, he said that he didn’t recognize it. At first Vladimir disagreed with him, but even he later expressed some doubt when he said to Estragon, “But you said we were here yesterday.” ( 8-9) This situation presents a problem in logic, for why would they not remember what they did the day before and, if they did wait in the same place yesterday, why would they not recognize the landscape? The answer, beyond a simple explanation citing their faulty memories, is that for Vladimir and Estragon it did not really matter what they had done the day before or where they were on that day. Their lives would have been the same even if this day was somehow skipped, a fact that their deficient memories support." }, { "docid": "D499393#0", "title": "http://wikitravel.org/en/Georgia_(country)\n.", "text": "\"Georgia (country) Book a Hotel In Out Check Rates Understand Historical overview Get in Visas By plane By bus By minibus By car By train By boat Get around Taxi Minibus By train By bike City Bus Mountain Travel See Churches Do Buy Costs Shopping Eat Sleep Stay safe Tbilisi Kutaisi Adjara Separatist Regions For other places with the same name, see Georgia (disambiguation).

He was 83. His death was announced by James Goldston, the president of ABC News. Mr. Nichols was married to the ABC broadcaster Diane Sawyer. A network spokeswoman said the cause was cardiac arrest, giving no other details. Dryly urbane, Mr. Nichols had a gift for communicating with actors and a keen comic timing, which he honed early in his career as half of the popular sketch-comedy team Nichols and May. An immigrant whose work was marked by trenchant perceptions of American culture, he achieved — in films like “The Graduate,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Carnal Knowledge” and in comedies and dramas on stage — what Orson Welles and Elia Kazan but few if any other directors have: popular and artistic success in both film and theater. An almost perennial prizewinner, he was one of only a dozen or so people to have won an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy.

A roux is a combination of flour and butter that are cooked together to be used as a thickening agent for the sauce. The roux may be referred to as a white, blonde, or brown roux, depending on the amount of cooking time of the flour and butter mixture. The mixture increasingly darkens the longer it cooks. Once the roux is ready, the hot milk or stock is stirred into the roux to create a thick sauce that may be seasoned with herbs and spices. Béchamel Sauce A basic French white sauce made by adding hot milk to a white roux (heated butter mixed with flour). In an early era, cream was generally used instead of milk. The roux thickens the milk into a creamy white sauce. Some sauces refer to a blonde and a white roux, the difference being the length of time the flour or mixture was allowed to cook and thus become brown or golden tan in color.

[ 1]Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and maritime environments. They are subject both to marine influences—such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water—and to riverine influences—such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The mixing of sea water and fresh water provide high levels of nutrients both in the water column and in sediment, making estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world. [ 2]Most existing estuaries formed during the Holocene epoch with the flooding of river-eroded or glacially scoured valleys when the sea level began to rise about 10,000–12,000 years ago. [ 3] Estuaries are typically classified according to their geomorphological features or to water-circulation patterns. They can have many different names, such as bays, harbors, lagoons, inlets, or sounds, although some of these water bodies do not strictly meet the above definition of an estuary and may be fully saline. The banks of many estuaries are amongst the most heavily populated areas of the world, with about 60% of the world's population living along estuaries and the coast. [ citation needed] As a result, many estuaries suffer degradation from a variety of factors including: sedimentation from soil erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, and other poor farming practices; overfishing; drainage and filling of wetlands; eutrophication due to excessive nutrients from sewage and animal wastes; pollutants including heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, radionuclides and hydrocarbons from sewage inputs; and diking or damming for flood control or water diversion.

Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Sea bay or Estuary Firth is the Scots word used to denote various coastal waters in Scotland. It is usually a large sea bay, which may be part of an estuary, or just an inlet, or even a strait. It is cognate to fjord (both from Proto-Germanic *ferþuz) which has a more narrow sense in English, whereas a firth would most likely be called a fjord if it were situated in Scandinavia. Bodies of water named \"\"firths\"\" tend to be more common on the east coast, or in the southwest of the country, although the Firth of Lorne is an exception to this. The Highland coast contains numerous estuaries, straits and inlets of a similar kind, not called \"\"firth\"\", e.g. the Minch, and Loch Torridon; these are often called sea lochs. A firth is generally the result of ice age glaciation and is very often associated with a large river, where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed to an estuary. Demarkation can be rather vague. The Firth of Clyde is sometimes thought to include the estuary as far upriver as Dumbarton, but the Ordnance Survey map shows the change from river to firth occurring off Port Glasgow, while locally the change is held to be at the Tail of the Bank where the river crosses a sandbar off Greenock at the junction to the Gare Loch, or even further west at Gourock point.

Although the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it has a greater gravitational attraction for the Earth because the Moon is much closer to Earth. This causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the Moon. Equilibrium Theory of Tides Two theories help explain tides. The equilibrium theory of tides uses the universal laws of physics, as applied to a water-covered Earth. The dynamic theory of tides studies tides as they occur in the real world, modified by landmasses, geometry of the ocean basins , and Earth's rotation. The equilibrium tidal theory begins with a hypothetical, water-covered planet and its satellite moon orbiting the Sun. The Moon is held in orbit with Earth by Earth's gravitational force. There is also a centrifugal force pulling the Moon away from Earth and trying to send it spinning out into space. Earth and the Moon rotate around the common center of mass of the Earth-Moon system; this system is held in orbit by the Sun's gravitational attraction while centrifugal force pulls the center of the mass away from the Sun." }, { "docid": "D3322201#0", "title": "http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/10056/0\nHippocampus capensis", "text": "Hippocampus capensis Scope: Global Language: English Summary Classification Schemes Images & External Links Bibliography Full Account Taxonomy Assessment Information Geographic Range Population Habitat and Ecology Use and Trade Threats Conservation Actions Translate page into: Taxonomy [top]Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Chordata Actinopterygii Syngnathiformes Syngnathidae Scientific Name: Hippocampus capensis Boulenger, 1900Common Name (s): English – Knysna Seahorse, Cape Seahorse Taxonomic Source (s): Lourie, S.

Estuaries are semi enclosed bodies of water formed when fresh water from rivers and coastal streams flows into and mixes with salt water of the ocean. The fresh water is slowed from streaming into the open ocean by either surrounding mainland, peninsulas, barrier islands, or fringing salt marshes. This mixing of fresh and salt water creates a transition zone between land and sea known as an estuary. These are places where fish, birds and animals of all sorts congregate to feed, find refuge, grow to adulthood, and stage migrations. Estuaries are unique places, strongly affected by tidal action, where land and river and sea merge into a dynamic natural complex. Western Head, Musquash (photo: Musquash MPA Campaign website, CCNB)Most definitions of estuaries do not reflect the uniqueness of these waters as habitats.

However, these ecosystems are not clearly divided but blend smoothly into each other, linked by rivers and streams and the overlapping ranges of various species, determined by their tolerance of various environmental conditions. Various approaches exist for categorizing habitat types. Franklin and Dyrness developed a system in 1973 using dominant tree species as distinguishing features. In the Northwest, Sitka spruce dominates the lower elevations, moving towards Western hemlock and Douglas fir farther from sea level. Silver fir is more prevalent in the middle range, and mountain hemlock at higher elevations. Jones (1936) established the four Merriam’s Life Zones: Humid Transition, Canadian, Hudson, and Arctic-Alpine, which are defined by vegetation patterns, precipitation, and elevation.

For the EP by Angel Deradoorian, see Eternal Recurrence (EP). Eternal return (also known as eternal recurrence) is a theory that the universe and all existence and energy has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in a self-similar form an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. The theory is found in Indian philosophy [ citation needed] and in ancient Egypt [ citation needed] and was subsequently taken up by the Pythagoreans and Stoics. [ citation needed] With the decline of antiquity and the spread of Christianity, the theory fell into disuse in the Western world, with the exception of Friedrich Nietzsche, who connected the thought to many of his other concepts, including amor fati. Eternal return is based on the philosophy of pre-determinism in that people are predestined to continue repeating the same events over and over again.

If space and time are infinite, then it follows logically that our existence must recur an infinite number of times. [ 1]In 1871 Louis Auguste Blanqui, assuming a Newtonian cosmology where time and space are infinite, claimed to have demonstrated eternal recurrence as a mathematical certainty.

Successful application began in airplanes before World War II, and even the German Tiger tank was fitted with discs in 1942. After the war, technological progress began to arrive in the 1950s, leading to a critical demonstration of superiority at the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans race, which required braking from high speeds several times per lap.

About 140 of these belong to a large class of aromatic organic hydrocarbons known as terpenes (pronounced tur-peens). You may have also heard people talk about terpenoids. The words terpene and terpenoid are increasingly used interchangeably, although these terms do have different meanings. The main difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that terpenes are hydrocarbons (meaning the only elements present are carbon and hydrogen); whereas, terpenoids have been denatured by oxidation (drying and curing the flowers) or chemically modified. Terpenes are synthesized in cannabis in secretory cells inside glandular trichomes, and production is increased with light exposure. These terpenes are mostly found in high concentrations in unfertilized female cannabis flowers prior to senescence (the condition or process of deterioration with age). The essential oil is extracted from the plant material by steam distillation or vaporization. Many terpenes vaporize around the same temperature as THC (which boils at about 157°C), but some terpenes are more volatile than others. Terpenes also play an incredibly important role by providing the plant with natural protection from bacteria and fungus, insects and other environmental stresses." }, { "docid": "D649450#0", "title": "http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/163678-diff-ratios.html\nDiff Ratios?", "text": "Just Commodores Forum Community It takes just a moment to join our fantastic community Register Home Holden Commodore Related > VT - VX Holden Commodore (1997 - 2002) >Diff Ratios?

Plot Summary Things look really blue for the Smurfs when most of their world is in black and white. Painter is up and about early in the morning in the Smurf Forest, climbing to the highest point to see Spectra, the color sprite, busy at work filling the world with color from her magic palette. He watches as the drab darkness of the forest is changed to vibrant brilliance, and as Spectra stops by Painter to ask what color he intends to do his paintings in, all his natural colors also come into view with the help of her magic brush. Soon Painter is busy at work on his latest masteurpiesa, painting a nearby pond and seeing that a color is missing from his work. He sees the Smurflings running out into the forest to chase a butterfly and has them stand by a rock so that he could paint \"\"smurfy blue\"\". However, the Smurflings get bored from just standing around and tell Painter to hurry it up. Painter tells them that mixing up \"\"smurfy blue\"\" can never be rushed. The Smurflings don't see what the right kind of blue matters for a painting, even as Painter shows them that there are different shades of blue that exist, so the village artist decides to take them to see Spectra in her tower. They see that she isn't home, but the Smurflings take notice of a machine inside her tower that produces all sorts of colors." }, { "docid": "D3001523#0", "title": "http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/17347-how-to-measure-the-mass-of-photon/\nHow to measure the mass of photon?", "text": "\"poker Lepton Members104 posts Posted March 5, 2006In the gauge field theory photon is represented by a gauge vector field which is massless.

As a method of printmaking, it is, along with engraving, the most important technique for old master prints, and remains in wide use today. In a number of modern variants such as microfabrication etching and photochemical milling it is a crucial technique in much modern technology, including circuit boards. In traditional pure etching, a metal (usually copper, zinc or steel) plate is covered with a waxy ground which is resistant to acid. [" } ]

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.

However, for collectors' items there is often a fixed number, say 200, and the individual copies are numbered, very often in the form 1/200, and so forth. Sometimes the block is then destroyed and cannot be used again. Sometimes, however, the block is kept and used again. If this happens there should be a clear indication that the 'print run' is that of a re-use or to use the technical term, a re-strike. One common way of doing this is to use Roman numerals for the re-strike.

Such fine prints, as they are known collectively, are considered original works of art, even though they can exist in multiples. To the modern reader, the word print might suggest mechanically mass-produced commercial products, such as books, newspapers, and textiles. In this article, however, the print refers to the original creation of an artist who, instead of the paintbrush or the chisel, has chosen printmaking tools to express himself. The fine print is a multiple original. Originality is generally associated with uniqueness, but a print is considered original because the artist from the outset intended to create an etching, woodcut, or other graphic work and thus conceived his image within the possibilities and limitations of that technique. Without doubt, early printmaking was strongly influenced by a desire for multiple prints. Artists quickly discovered, however, that when a drawing is translated into a woodcut or engraving it takes on totally new characteristics. Each technique has its own distinctive style, imposed by the tools, materials, and printing methods. The metamorphosis that takes place between drawing and print became the strongest attraction for the creative artist." }, { "docid": "D1975609#0", "title": "http://www.countertopspecialty.com/which-granite-looks-like-white-carrara-marble.html\nWhich Granite looks like White Carrara Marble?", "text": "\"Which Granite looks like White Carrara Marble?

On the right we have an image of a recent job created for a client showing exactly how the etched glass sections of the design stand out well against the background of the Satin glass. With normal etched glass there would be clear areas left in the design to allow the design to be seen against the etched background but with Satin, all of the non-etched areas are Satin glass so it is not possible to see through any areas of the glass. Satin glass is the perfect glass for use in bathrooms, wet rooms and en-suites because of the overall low visibility it offers through the glass and no matter what is behind the glass, people will not be able to make out anything other than fuzzy shades of light. Satin glass still allows a lot of the natural light into the room and it does have a very modern feel to the glass without having a ‘too prominent’ pattern to the etched design effect. The Leadbitter Glass studio recently created a door and side panel combination for a bathroom door in Manchester and you can see the finished product here. Once the ‘bubbles’ design was etched onto the back of the Satin glass we actually coloured the etched sections of the design a light blue colour using our coloured etched glass product and this gave a great effect to the new modern bathroom." }, { "docid": "D182758#0", "title": "http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/proper-uses-acid-etch-primer-47329.html\nProper uses for acid etch primer?", "text": "\"# 1 ( permalink) 09-08-2004, 12:42 PMRocket1New Member Join Date: Sep 2004Location: Ohio Age: 33Posts: 26Wiki Edits: 0Thanks: 0Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Rocket1's Photo Album Proper uses for acid etch primer?

Here is the problem, first the paint companies will not just pull this product because it is so cheap to make unlike epoxy or 2k primers. ( Its a big money maker) The next problem is acid etch works very well under lacquers and enamels (20 years out of date) but the product never locks down so if you sprayed a fender with acid etch and let it set two years, you could walk up with Urethane reducer and wipe off.

This can be achieved through mechanical (abrasive blasting, wire wheel, sanding, etc.) or chemical (Fast Etch Rust Remover, Rust Dissolver) means, or through the direct approach of cutting out the affected area and replacing with new metal. When the metal is perforated or the strength is compromised, cutting out and replacing is the only way to go. But there are always those areas in every project that are only slightly corroded, and strength has not been compromised. For these sections use mechanical means to at least remove the loose rust, then use Fast Etch Rust Remover or Rust Dissolver to completely dissolve the rust. For areas where you can't readily reach to remove with Fast Etch, use Eastwood Rust Converter on heavy, scaly rust, followed by Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. If the area is not heavy and scaly rust, use Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. If you can't access the area to remove the loose rust, use Eastwood Internal Frame Coating or Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust.

The process starts with digging a hole in the ground and lining the hole with rebar. The main drains, skimmers, return lines, pool lights etc., are set into place. After that, the pool is shot with gunite (or shotcrete), which is concrete that is shot out of a gun or large spray nozzle, and troweled to the finished shape. The tile and coping stones are set in place. As the final step in the pool construction process, the pool interior is sprayed with a wet plaster mix, and troweled smooth. Once the plasterers apply the finishing touches, they start filling the pool with water immediately, as plaster cures under water.

Unlike mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual fund shares, making them an attractive alternative for individual investors. Because it trades like a stock, an ETF does not have its net asset value (NAV) calculated once at the end of every day like a mutual fund does. Next Up ETF of ETFs Inverse ETFCommodity ETFRedemption Mechanism BREAKING DOWN 'Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)'An ETF is a type of fund that owns the underlying assets (shares of stock, bonds, oil futures, gold bars, foreign currency, etc.) and divides ownership of those assets into shares. The actual investment vehicle structure (such as a corporation or investment trust) will vary by country, and within one country there can be multiple structures that co-exist. Shareholders do not directly own or have any direct claim to the underlying investments in the fund; rather they indirectly own these assets. ETF shareholders are entitled to a proportion of the profits, such as earned interest or dividends paid, and they may get a residual value in case the fund is liquidated." } ]

Julie Segal April 01, 2015Investment adviser Richard Ferri is a Vanguard Group evangelist. Twenty years ago, when he worked for Smith Barney, he asked then-president Jamie Dimon for permission to create a low-cost index advisory program. At the time, Smith Barney was the second-largest brokerage firm in the U. S. and made money not only by stocking client portfolios with its own actively managed funds but also by getting paid by fund companies to sell competing products. When Dimon gave Ferri a flat-out no, the latter drafted plans to launch one of the first advisory firms that would use index funds exclusively and provide advice for a fraction of what firms like Smith Barney were charging. In 1999 he launched Portfolio Solutions on the twin convictions that active managers face almost insurmountable obstacles in their quest to beat the market and that low-cost index funds give investors a much better chance of investment success. Ferri, whose $1.4 billion firm charges some 30 basis points annually for advice and primarily uses Vanguard funds, has spent 15 years spreading Vanguard founder John (Jack) Bogle ’s message that costs matter — and inspiring a deluge of imitators. Last year low-cost advisers like Ferri, as well as their highbrow counterparts at big brokerage firms and wealth managers who belatedly bought into index funds, were responsible for half of Vanguard’s new assets. Now Ferri and other advisers are worried that they will have to compete with Vanguard after it formally launches a new, low-cost, computer-based advice service that is fully integrated with certified financial planners employed by the firm, with whom clients can speak over the phone or via video applications. Vanguard CEO F. William (Bill) Mc Nabb III plays down their concerns, emphasizing that his firm isn’t opening any branches and that the service is targeted at do-it-yourself investors who don’t need or want to sit across the table from an adviser." }, { "docid": "D1387693#0", "title": "http://www.stockbrokers.com/review/fidelityinvestments\nFidelity Review", "text": "Review Sections: Commissions & Fees Research Customer Service Platforms & Tools Mobile Trading Ease of Use Education Other Notes Final Thoughts Methodology References Data: Fees & Features Home Reviews Fidelity Investments Fidelity Investments, founded in 1946, is a full-service broker with over 19 million retail brokerage accounts and over $2 trillion in client assets.

Essentially, UCITS are investment funds regulated by the European Union. Although investment funds have been popular in Europe since the 1960s and 1970s, their regulations posed problems for investors wanting to buy funds from another European country. Some countries’ laws prohibited such actions, and in other cases, tax laws rendered the investments unappealing. UCITS came about from a 1985 EU directive that aimed to standardize the rules and regulations across Europe regarding open-ended funds and transferable securities. The plan was to make funds approved in one country easy to market and sell to investors throughout the EU. The first two versions of UCITS were not adopted, but UCITS III was approved in 2001, and remains in force today. Investors in UCITS receive protection, an abundance of investment choices, liquidity and professional management. Fund companies can make distributions across borders simply by notifying the regulators in the receiving countries. Disadvantages of UCITS include the possibility of low returns for investors." }, { "docid": "D393749#0", "title": "https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/211241\nHow much does it cost to leave Verizon when my contracts not up?", "text": "This discussion is locked1 2 Previous Next13 Replies Latest reply on Oct 6, 2012 10:21 PM by cman0928How much does it cost to leave Verizon when my contracts not up?colorfulgiraffe Jun 22, 2010 8:39 PMI'm planning on switching to T-Mobile.

According to Investopedia “A swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange sequences of cash flows for a set period of time.” Classic swaps involve bonds and/or currencies, swapping interest rate and currency cash flows. For example, a global business often uses swap transactions to cushion risk exposure outside their main business activities.

What is 'Diversification'Diversification is a risk management technique that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. The rationale behind this technique contends that a portfolio constructed of different kinds of investments will, on average, yield higher returns and pose a lower risk than any individual investment found within the portfolio. Next Up Stock Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)Geographical Diversification International Portfolio Bond ETFBREAKING DOWN 'Diversification'Diversification strives to smooth out unsystematic risk events in a portfolio so the positive performance of some investments neutralizes the negative performance of others. Therefore, the benefits of diversification hold only if the securities in the portfolio are not perfectly correlated. Studies and mathematical models have shown that maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of 25 to 30 stocks yields the most cost-effective level of risk reduction. Investing in more securities yields further diversification benefits, albeit at a drastically smaller rate. Further diversification benefits can be gained by investing in foreign securities because they tend to be less closely correlated with domestic investments. For example, an economic downturn in the U. S. economy may not affect Japan's economy in the same way; therefore, having Japanese investments gives an investor a small cushion of protection against losses due to an American economic downturn. Most noninstitutional investors have a limited investment budget and may find it difficult to create an adequately diversified portfolio. This fact alone can explain why mutual funds have been increasing in popularity." }, { "docid": "D2022432#0", "title": "https://www.t-mobile.com/offer/wifi-calling-wifi-extenders.html\nEvery Wi-Fi connection works like a T-Mobiletower.", "text": "Every Wi-Fi connection works like a T-Mobiletower.

A fund that tracks an index, but can be traded like a stock. ETFs always bundle together the securities that are in an index; they never track actively managed mutual fund portfolios (because most actively managed funds only disclose their holdings a few times a year, so the ETF would not know when to adjust its holdings most of the time). Investors can do just about anything with an ETF that they can do with a normal stock, such as short selling. Because ETFs are traded on stock exchanges, they can be bought and sold at any time during the day (unlike most mutual funds ). Their price will fluctuate from moment to moment, just like any other stock's price, and an investor will need a broker in order to purchase them, which means that he/she will have to pay a commission. On the plus side, ETFs are more tax-efficient than normal mutual funds, and since they track indexes they have very low operating and transaction costs associated with them. There are no sales loads or investmentminimums required to purchase an ETF. The first ETF created was the Standard and Poor's Deposit Receipt (SPDR, pronounced \"\" Spider \"\") in 1993. SPDRs gave investors an easy way to track the S&P 500 without buying an index fund, and they soon become quite popular." } ]

It’s been exactly one year since I published the first Biodiesel Mythbuster on Green Options.com, and its popularity made a sequel inevitable. By way of a short introduction, here’s what I wrote last year: In case you’re new to the topic, biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from plant oils and occasionally animal fat. It can be made from both used and unused sources of oil, such as freshly-pressed soybean oil, or oil left-over from the deep fryer at your local burger joint. Biodiesel can only be used in diesel engines – no gasoline engines allowed. Biodiesel can be blended into regular diesel in any amount, such as 20% biodiesel/80% diesel (B20), or used pure 100% (B100, aka ‘neat’).

By Bill Howard on September 27, 2012 at 12:45 pm 43 Comments Facebook Twitter Google Plus Reddit Hacker News Could the lithium-ion battery pack in the Nissan Leaf suffer old age before you’re ready to dispose of your electric vehicle? Reports suggest high-mileage Leafs can experience a noticeable drop in battery capacity in the first year or so of ownership, which means decreased driving range — and owner satisfaction — in following years. A new Leaf gets about 85 miles per charge (what is often called “up to 100 miles”). Some Leaf owners in hot-weather climates who drove a lot, nearly 20,000 miles a year, have found they’re only getting 60 or so miles per charge 12-14 months into the cars’ lives. Nissan says the “glide path” for a normal Leaf’s battery degradation is down to 70%-80% capacity after five years and about 70% after 10 years so these batteries may be getting old before their time. The issue is not minor: The manufacturing cost of the Leaf’s battery is around $15,000, so replacing the battery is half the cost of the car. For Nissan and its reputation, the stakes are also high if it can’t satisfy the squeaky owners who’ve found their way online to tell their side. As the Nissan Leaf came to market in late 2010, Nissan projected a range of about 100 miles for the cars and their 24k Wh lithium-ion battery packs. Nissan modified the range to around 85 miles and cited absolute worst case-best case range of 50 to 130 miles." }, { "docid": "D811505#0", "title": "http://fuel-efficient-vehicles.org/energy-news/?p=1310\nRun Your Car On Vapors", "text": "first posted 03-03-2014Get a bottle and some hose and discover How to run your vehicle on gasoline fumes.

Along the highways of this sprawling prairie city, and in other pockets of the country, a mutiny is growing against energy policies that heavily support and subsidize the blending of ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, into gasoline. Many consumers complain that ethanol, which constitutes as much as 10 percent of the fuel they buy in most states, hurts gas mileage and chokes the engines of their boats and motorcycles. As ethanol has spread around the country, gas station owners and wholesalers are catering to concerns about ethanol that are often exaggerated but not entirely unfounded. High gas prices seem to be helping them plant seeds of doubt in customers’ minds. “We just think it’s better for the car — we get better mileage,” said Marjorie Olbert, a retired teacher, as she filled her 2002 Toyota with what is sometimes called conventional or “clear” gasoline at a suburban E-Express station.

These days more than 95 percent of gas sold is E10, said AAA spokesman Michael Green. E10 is 10 percent ethanol and came into use after amendments in 1990 to the Clean Air Act, according to the Department of Energy. All cars are certified to run the stuff; in fact, it's difficult to find ethanol-free gas anymore. Yet the more efficient ethanol-free blend is what the EPA uses to produce gas mileage figures posted on that new-car sticker. And there's the problem. Ethanol's lower energy density leads to worse gas mileage, which is why using E85 (85 percent ethanol) in cars that accommodate it is usually a bad idea.

It has already won the Motor Trend Truck of the Year award, and even USA Today liked it. However, many buyers in this segment are cautious about new technology. Even the Ford Eco Boost, probably the most successful example of a new engine option (even strategy), took almost two years in the market to be fully accepted. But as much as we want to believe that a light-duty diesel would be great to have again in a half-ton, we have to ask whether it makes financial sense. Regrettably, a simple yes or no doesn't address the many variables presented by the way pickup truck owners operate their trucks in so many diverse environments.

You could opt for the latest hybrid or diesel models, or even an electric car like the Nissan Leaf. But if those are a little outside your comfort zone, you could do worse than to look at the latest generation of traditional gasoline-powered compact cars--all of which now boast combined MPG figures in the mid 30s and over 40 mpg highway. Listed below are the top five most efficient compact cars on sale. Diesels, hybrids or battery electric vehicles may be even cheaper to run, but each car below should improve over your current car without much effort.1. 2014 Honda Civic HF35 mpg combined (31 mpg city, 41 mpg highway)Honda has long been known for its gas-sippers, and while it's dropped the baton lately when it comes to desirability it's still a Civic that tops this list. It trades economy figures with the Corolla LE Eco, but pips it on the EPA's Fueleconomy.gov website on account of its better city figure. At $20,730 (including Honda's $790 destination charge) it's a little more expensive than the Corolla, but it's a good four grand cheaper than the 45 mpg Civic Hybrid.2. 2014 Toyota Corolla LE Eco35 mpg combined (30 mpg city, 42 mpg highway)Like the Honda above, Toyota's Corolla LE Eco uses a 1.8-liter gasoline four-cylinder, and comes with a continuously-variable transmission to maximize economy.

The use of the word “enhanced” is curious because it implies that there is some benefit or advantage to choosing this gasoline over other available products. Messages on the pump further add that this is “America’s Fuel” and that it may contain up to 10% ethanol. This ethanol modified product is commonly called E10. As an alternative the chain also offers an ethanol free 87 octane product called Pure Max, which is an interesting name in its own right. Another gas station just down the street calls their ethanol free fuel \"\"Pure Gas\"\" and proudly advertises that it will improve your gas mileage by 25% over ethanol grades.

Diethyl ether, also known as ethyl ether, ethyl oxide or diethyl oxide according to How Stuff Works, has a chemical formula of CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3. It is called a primary ether because one carbon atom is connected to only one other carbon atom. The other types of ether follow this ABA pattern. Diisopropyl ether, a secondary ether because each carbon is linked to two other carbon atoms, has a chemical formula of (CH3)2CH-O-CH (CH3)2. The tertiary ether, di-tert-butyl ether, has a chemical formula of (CH3)3C-O-C (CH3)3. Ether is used as an anesthetic, a solvent in explosives and an extraction agent of fats, oils, waxes, resins and alkaloids, which are organic compounds containing nitrogen. The fact that ether is flammable makes it a perfect component for explosives. Ether is also a component in illegal meth labs. Oftentimes the sweet smell of ether in conjunction with the smell of ammonia and sulfur is a warning sign of a meth house, explains About.com." } ]

On October 16th, 1846 a crowd of doctors and students gathered in the surgical amphitheater at Massachusetts General Hospital to watch as a dentist named William T. G. Morton instructed a patient to inhale the fumes from an ether-soaked sponge. After the patient was sufficiently sedated, a surgeon removed a tumor from his neck.

No. 74,980 filed on July 17, 1987, now abandoned. This invention relates to compositions for use in air freshening devices to eliminate unpleasant smells and/or to produce a fragrant atmosphere, as for example in the environment of a room. Various types of air freshening devices (air fresheners) are on the market; these either have a continuous action or not, and are based on very different types of diffusion technology and support technology, such as aerosols, gels, impregnated cellulose pads, electric evaporation, and liquid wick evaporators. Liquid wick evaporators (that is, air fresheners comprising a liquid reservoir and a wick immersed therein, for transfer of the liquid to the surroundings via evaporation) are particularly effective for steady evaporation over a period of time. A further advantage is that it is easy to see when the air freshener composition has become exhausted. The majority of such liquids are aqueous solutions (for economical reasons) which contain a small quantity of fragrance. In order to disperse fragrances in such solutions to give a homogeneous composition, surfactants have to be used: non-volatile surfactants tend to accumulate on the wick, thus inhibiting the rise of liquids up the wick, and eventually preventing evaporation altogether. In order to ensure a long duration of action, a large amount of liquid is required, which in turn necessitates a large container." }, { "docid": "D2933323#0", "title": "http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-ether-definition-uses-effects-formula.html\nWhat is Ether? - Definition, Uses, Effects & Formula", "text": "Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 55K views Create an account to start this course today Try it free for 5 days!Create An Account Recommended Lessons and Courses for You Related Lessons Related Courses Ketones & Aldehydes: Structure, Properties & Uses Carboxylic Acid: Structural Formula, Properties & Uses Alkynes: Properties, Uses, Formula & Examples What is Phenol? - Structure & Uses Lesson Transcript Instructor: Amanda Robb This lesson is on ether, a chemical used in medicine and industry.

A pleasant-smelling, colorless and highly flammable liquid, ether can be vaporized into a gas that numbs pain but leaves patients conscious. In 1842, Georgia physician Crawford Williamson Long became the first doctor to use ether as a general anesthetic during surgery, when he used it to remove a tumor from the neck of his patient James M. Venable. Did You Know? In 1846, after viewing Morton's ether demonstration in Boston, the physician Oliver Wendell Holmes suggested the word \"\"anesthesia\"\" to describe the process of making a patient unconscious in order to free them of surgical pain; he based it on the Greek word \"\"anaisthesis,\"\" which means insensibility or loss of sensation. Long did not publish the results of his experiments until 1848, and by that time Boston dentist William T. G. Morton had already gained fame with the first publicly demonstrated use of ether as an effective surgical anesthetic. After watching his colleague Horace Wells unsuccessfully promote nitrous oxide as an anesthetic, Morton concentrated on the possibility of ether. On March 30, 1842, he administered it to a patient at Massachusetts General Hospital, before a surgeon removed a tumor from the patient’s jaw.

The car exhaust port is important as it neutralizes many of the harmful fumes that come out of the engine. If you notice a nasty smell from the exhaust, such as a rotten egg smell, then there is a problem. Besides rotten eggs, a sweet smell or a smell of gas from the exhaust are also typical signs that something is wrong. It is important that you have the car fixed immediately when you start to notice an odd car exhaust smell as they can be linked to some major problems in the exhaust or engine. Rotten Eggs The smell of rotten eggs is due to a compound called hydrogen sulfide. This comes from the small amount of sulfur that is present in the fuel. Normally the sulfur is converted to sulfur dioxide, which has no odor. When the converter breaks or the filtering layers have worn down inside the converter, the sulfur is not transformed into the odorless form. Therefore a strong rotten egg smell is produced." }, { "docid": "D547726#0", "title": "https://study.com/academy/lesson/types-of-neurons-sensory-afferent-motor-efferent-more.html\nTypes of Neurons: Sensory, Afferent, Motor, Efferent & More", "text": "\"Video Quiz Course Watch short & fun videos Start Your Free Trial Today {\"\"error\"\":true,\"\"iframe\"\":true}Your next lesson will play in 10 seconds Add to Timeline Autoplay 266K views Create an account to start this course today Try it free for 5 days!Create An Account Recommended Lessons and Courses for You Related Lessons Related Courses Afferent Division of the Peripheral Nervous System Sensory Neurons: Definition & Function The Layers of the Meninges: Medical Vocabulary Action Potential: Definition & Steps Lesson Transcript Instructor: Artem Cheprasov There are many types of neurons in your body that help you see, smell, hear, and move. In this lesson, you'll learn more about afferent, efferent, sensory, and motor neurons. Smelling and Throwing Away Our Dirty Socks If you've come across a dirty sock, you not only got to experience one of the worst smells in the world, but you probably threw the sock as far away from yourself as possible in order to avoid the smell. What you did, smell the sock and then throw it far away, involved quite a bit more than you probably think about at any given time. You first had to sense an unpleasant odor through your nose. After your nose guided you to the smelly sock laying on the couch, you were able to visualize it as well. Once you combined your visual stimulation with that of the smell, you realized it was best to get rid of the sock. You initiated a series of hand and leg movements, which then resulted in you throwing the sock as far away as possible. All of this smelling and moving about involves certain types of special nerve cells that send signals to and from your brain in order to recognize the smelly sock and throw it away. Afferent Neurons Afferent neurons sense stimuli and send information to the brain." } ]
