"text": "\"Difference Between ABA Number and Routing Number• Categorized under Finance | Difference Between ABA Number and Routing Number The American Banking Association has come up with a method to facilitate the sorting, bundling, and identification of checks as well as locating the financial institutions they’re drawn from. Without this sorting facility, there would be higher risks of inaccuracies and discrepancies in terms of cash flow. Erroneous, incomplete, or mislaid routing information is the main issue costing financial organizations and individual consumers considerable amounts of money. Given such implications, bank numbers have been essential in securing the seamless progression and rotation of funds throughout practically every economic sector. There may be several codes and confusing numbers encoded in a single check, but each one of those plays an important role in validating that specific check. It is necessary for everybody to be familiar with the basics of bank numbering systems; this can be simplified by identifying the different elements. Two of the universal codes are the ABA Transit Number, or ABA Number, and the Routing Transit Number (RTN), or Routing number. It is rather easy to distinguish one from the other based on the code construction, length, and location. The ABA Number, or ABA Transit Number, is a numeric coding printed on a negotiable instrument in the form of a check, facilitating the check clearing process among banks, whether it’s within a branch or in an inter-bank transaction. The system is managed by the very organization the acronym ABA stands for – the American Bankers Association."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Bank number)navigation search\"\"Routing transit number\"\" redirects here. For the Canadian bank routing number system, see Routing number (Canada). An ABA routing transit number ( ABA RTN) is a nine-digit code, used in the United States, which appears on the bottom of negotiable instruments such as checks to identify the financial institution on which it was drawn. The ABA RTN was originally designed to facilitate the sorting, bundling, and shipment of paper checks back to the drawer's (check writer's) account. As new payment methods were developed ( ACH and Wire ), the system was expanded to accommodate these payment methods. The ABA RTN is necessary for the Federal Reserve Banks to process Fedwire funds transfers, and by the Automated Clearing House to process direct deposits, bill payments, and other such automated transfers. The ABA RTN system was developed in 1910 by the American Bankers Association.

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money The Differences Between Swift Codes and Routing Numbersby Chris Blank; Updated April 19, 2017If you're receiving a payment from an overseas client, he may ask for your bank's SWIFT code or BIC and IBAN number so that he can initiate a wire transfer deposit to your bank account. If he doesn't ask for this information, you should ask him how he intends to make sure you get your money. Unless he mentions some sort of electronic payment method or express delivery service, you should also be prepared to wait to receive your money. Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. SWIFT is a cooperative association headquartered in Belgium comprised of more than 9,000 corporate customers, banks and securities institutions located in 209 countries worldwide. SWIFT doesn't hold your money or manage any of your financial affairs. Instead, SWIFT provides a framework that allows companies and financial institutions to conduct business seamlessly. Business Identifier Code The Business Identifier Code (BIC) is assigned to a financial institution or a non-financial entity through a system adapted by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). BICs have either eight characters or 11 characters. A BIC8 identifies an individual financial institution or non-financial entity in a particular location."

Master's degree programs are more research-intensive and include an in-depth study of behavioral science. Show Me Schools View 10 Popular Schools »Essential Information Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is the use of behavioral and emotional interventions to help autistic children. ABA therapy degree programs train students to help children using this therapy. Completing a 4-year bachelor's degree in ABA therapy can lead to professional certification as an assistant behavior analyst, while completing a 2-year master's degree in ABA therapy can lead to behavior analyst certification. Bachelor's Degree Programs in ABAApplied behavior analysis therapy degree programs vary widely in their applicability due to the reluctance of some organizations to agree on a standard. The Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in Psychology with an ABA concentration and Bachelor of Science (B. S.) in Behavior Analysis are two degree options that can prepare students for roles as therapists upon graduation. Transfer or freshmen applicants to a bachelor's degree program offering ABA training need a high school diploma and prerequisite coursework in a number of areas, such as computers, English, social science, fine arts, foreign language and science. Most programs also require students to complete the core curriculum offered by the college or university. The broad curriculum in programs offering bachelor-level ABA degrees prepares students for careers in other psychological and scientific fields, as well as careers specific to behavior analysis."

"text": "Why the terms “Noncompliance” and “Off task” Should be Permanently Stricken from the Vocabulary of all ABA Professionals and Students5 Replies If you currently work or study in the field of applied behavior analysis, chances are that you actively use the terms “noncompliance” and “off task. If you haven’t used them, you have at least been exposed to them. “ Noncompliance” and “off task” are not behaviors and those terms should be permanently stricken from the vocabulary of all ABA professionals and students. Join me on a trip down memory lane to a simpler time, free of the stress that comes from submitting behavior plans to insurance companies for approval. Let us journey now, back to a time before you knew how to break a line in the behavioral graph and did not have to be vigilant in your tireless efforts to avoid dual relationships. Try to recall your formative years as a student of ABA. Try to visualize yourself back in the days when you were a budding baby analyst not yet fully grown. Now, reflect on the core principles of applied behavior analysis that you were taught or that you read about. Do the words measurable and observable ring any bells? Do you remember the blatant warnings about the failures and shortcomings of mentalism and the dangers of subjectivity?"

"text": "Autism Treatment: ABAABA (and its derivatives) is the treatment approach that is currently most widely available in the US and many other countries. It is the treatment that most often is funded by school systems and offered through many schools and by private therapists. ABA was formed by Dr. Ivar Lovaas in the 1980 (Lovass, 1987) from the branch of psychology known as Behaviorism. Behaviorism (popularized in the 1950's by Dr. Skinner and Pavlov training animals) attempted to understand human begins by looking only at their behavior and dismissing all internal experience, that is, thoughts and feelings. This is an outdated model in modern psychology. Nonetheless, many educational techniques, including ABA, that were spawned from it still linger. ABA focuses on behaviors. It does not assume to know why a child has a particular behavior or to attempt to understand the child. Instead, it focuses on re-training unwanted behaviors, (through punishment or ”extinction”) and reinforcing wanted behaviors (through rewards). A detailed curriculum is designed for each child to cover areas such as expressive and receptive language skills, pre-academics and self-help skills."

"text": "\"Feeling soft or otherwise enjoyable textures is a common form of stimming. Self-stimulatory behavior, also known as stimming [1] and self-stimulation, [2] is the repetition of physical movements, sounds, or repetitive movement of objects common in individuals with developmental disabilities, and most prevalent in people with autism spectrum disorders. [ 2] [3] However, it is also commonly seen in people with anxiety disorders, such as obsessive–compulsive disorder, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, and in people with neurological disorders or brain infections. [ 4] [5] It is considered a way in which a person with autism and others calm and stimulate themselves. [ 2] Therapists view this behavior as a protective response to being overly sensitive to stimuli, with which the individual blocks less predictable environmental stimuli. [ 6] Sensory processing disorder is also given as a reason by some therapists for the condition. [ 6] Another theory is that stimming is a way to relieve anxiety and other emotions. [ 7]Common stimming behaviors (sometimes called stims [8]) include hand flapping, rocking, excessive or hard blinking, pacing, head banging, repeating noises or words, snapping fingers, and spinning objects. [ 9] [10] Stimming is almost always an aspect of autism, but it is also regarded as part of some non-autistic individuals' behavioral patterns. [ 11] The biggest difference between autistic and non-autistic stimming is the type of stim and the quantity of stimming. ["

When he was 15 months old, Daake knew something was wrong. Robbie had been talking up to that point but dramatically began to lose his speech. Quick to intervene, Sheryl and her husband Rob, who are both engineers, enrolled Robbie in Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) for an expected speech delay. But instead of improving, Robbie’s condition worsened. At the age of 3, the family pushed their pediatrician to evaluate further and Robbie was diagnosed with autism and hypotonia. “ We felt devastated, depressed and alone,” the mom of two remembers. “ But we were also very driven to get our son to the right specialist and interventions.” On a mission to find the best care for their son, both parents took a leave of absence from their jobs and dove headfirst into research. “ ABA was the therapy that came up as effective again and again in our findings, so we wanted to start as soon as possible,” Daake says."

Most experts agree that autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interactions, limited communication and repetitive behaviors. Signs usually appear before age 3. The cause isn't clear, but recent scientific studies believe there is a strong genetic base. New research comes out almost every day on possible causes. Some groups advocate for environmental causes such as induced labor, heavy metals, pesticides and childhood vaccinations. Autism occurs four times more in boys than in girls. The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders has drastically risen since the 1980’s. Some studies now claim 1-150 children are diagnosed as autistic with occurrence in as many as 1-94 boys. It is unclear if this is due to the different definitions of autism used today, diagnostic practices or if the actual amount of cases has increased."

Bureau of Labor Statistics, **Pay Scale.com Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapists work with autistic children and other patients with developmental issues, either in a clinical setting or a patient's home. These therapists often reinforce positive, learned behaviors using specialized techniques that may include reward systems, incidental teaching, pivotal response training, and milieu therapy. An ABA therapist works under the supervision of a behaviorial analyst, a position that requires a graduate degree and, oftentimes, licensure or certification. According to Pay Scale.com, ABA therapists earned between $24,719 and $52,106 per year, as of January 2016, with a median salary of $35,090. Job Description ABA therapists usually work one-on-one with children who have autism, a brain disorder that can lead to issues with social interaction and repetitive behaviors as well as verbal and nonverbal communication. Based on consultations with behavior analysts, ABA therapists employ various speech and language therapies as well as behavior management techniques to help their clients develop social and life skills. Education Requirements Becoming an ABA therapist usually requires formal education in psychology, behavior analysis, or a related field of study. Required education varies according to employer, but an associate's or bachelor's degree is common."

"text": "\"Natural Environment Teaching (NET) is utilizing principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to teach in the natural environment, “the real world”. Because children with autism are not typically motivated to learn new things, Natural Environment Teaching can be particularly necessary and particularly difficult. Since a child is taught away from a structured setting, following the child’s lead, using activities and materials in the child’s home, outside, day care setting, etc. that the child is showing an interest, an ABA professional unfamiliar with NET may opt away from NET in order to teach specifically in a structured setting. As a matter of fact, many programs don’t teach new skills in the natural environment at all!Unfortunately, this can lead to a child only being able tolearn skills in one environment. It also leads to skills being gained in therapy but not utilized outside of therapy. What a waste! Even though the idea is to follow the child’s lead, a curriculum is usually planned ahead of time and followed through a session. The curriculum would focus on a child’s specific needs and embed them within his/her interests. Characteristics of NET also include capturing motivation (EO/MO) pairing, errorless learning, and using probe data as opposed to trial by trial data."

In other states, there are no laws governing their practice and, as such, the practice may be prohibited as falling under the practice definition of other mental health professionals. This is rapidly changing as Behavior Analysts are becoming more and more common. The professional practice of behavior analysis is a hybrid discipline with specific influences coming from counseling, psychology, education, special education, communication disorders, physical therapy and criminal justice. [ 2] As a discipline it has its own conferences, organizations, certification processes and awards."

ABA is a mixture of psychological and educational techniques that are utilized based upon the needs of each individual child. Applied Behavior Analysis is the use of behavioral methods to measure behavior, teach functional skills, and evaluate progress. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques have been proven in many studies as the leading proven treatment and method of choice on treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder at any level. ABA approaches such as discrete trial training (DTT), Pivotal Response Training (PRT), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Self-Management, and a range of social skills training techniques are all critical in teaching children with autism. Ultimately, the goal is to find a way of motivating the child and using a number of different strategies and positive reinforcement techniques to ensure that the sessions are enjoyable and productive. In all ABA programs, the intent is to increase skills in language, play and socialization, while decreasing behaviors that interfere with learning. The results can be profound. Many children with autism who have ritualistic or self-injurious behaviors reduce or eliminate these behaviors. They establish eye contact."

I find it somewhat amusing and perfectly normal to get asked the same questions over and over. I decided to make a brief list of the questions I get asked the most --complete with answers--when I meet with a family or a therapist for the first time. You might see a question or two that you remember asking the first ABA professional you worked with.

However, there are medications that can help some people with ASD function better. For example, medication might help manage high energy levels, inability to focus, depression, or seizures. Medications might not affect all children in the same way. It is important to work with a health care professional who has experience in treating children with ASD. Parents and health care professionals must closely monitor a child’s progress and reactions while he or she is taking a medication to be sure that any negative side effects of the treatment do not outweigh the benefits. It is also important to remember that children with ASD can get sick or injured just like children without ASD. Regular medical and dental exams should be part of a child’s treatment plan. Often it is hard to tell if a child’s behavior is related to the ASD or is caused by a separate health condition. For instance, head banging could be a symptom of the ASD, or it could be a sign that the child is having headaches."

He believed that social and behavioral skills could be taught, even to profoundly autistic children, through the ABA method. The idea was (and is) that autism is a set of behavioral symptoms which can be modified or \"\"extinguished.\"\" When autistic behaviors are no longer evident to the observer, the assumption is that the autism itself has been effectively treated. When he first began using ABA, Lovaas had no hesitation about employing punishments for non-compliance, some of which could be very harsh."

Most experts agree that autism is a brain development disorder characterized by impaired social interactions, limited communication and repetitive behaviors. Signs usually appear before age 3. The cause isn't clear, but recent scientific studies believe there is a strong genetic base. New research comes out almost every day on possible causes. Some groups advocate for environmental causes such as induced labor, heavy metals, pesticides and childhood vaccinations. Autism occurs four times more in boys than in girls. The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders has drastically risen since the 1980’s. Some studies now claim 1-150 children are diagnosed as autistic with occurrence in as many as 1-94 boys. It is unclear if this is due to the different definitions of autism used today, diagnostic practices or if the actual amount of cases has increased."

Centers for Disease Control, one in every 88 children in the United States has autism. In recent years more and more states have begun mandating coverage by health plans for services in the treatment of autism. By 2015, a total of 41 states and the District of Columbia had enacted some level of autism coverage insurance mandates, and 29 states have enacted regulations that require autism coverage to be included on all plans sold through the exchange. But the specifics in the mandates vary significantly from one state to another. Some apply only to individual health policies, while others include small group and large corporate policies (no state mandates apply to the self-insured policies large employers typically offer, which is the type of coverage one-quarter of insured Americans have). The mandates also vary in terms of what types of treatment are required to be covered. Under the Affordable Care Act, autism screening is now covered under preventive care with zero cost share for children at 18 and 24 months."

It has been rigorously tested and is effective for many individuals with Autism and other developmental disorders. It changes the environment and monitors changed responses from the person, to result in changed behavior or learning of life skills. Definitions of Applied Behavior Analysis vary considerably. In one example, Applied Behavior Analysis is:“...the design, implementation, and evaluation of environmental modifications to produce socially significant improvement in human behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis includes the use of direct observation, measurement, and functional analysis of the relations between environment and behavior. Applied Behavior Analysis uses antecedent stimuli and consequences, based on the findings of descriptive and functional analysis, to produce practical change.” This definition places emphasis on socially significant changes, but Applied Behavior Analysis can be used to alter virtually any behavior irrespective of its social relevance.the abc model: the basis of Applied Behavior Analysis The first step in Applied Behavior Analysis is to analyze the behavior. This is done using the ABC model: A - Antecedent A directive or request for the child to perform an action. B - Behavior A behavior, or response from the child - successful performance, noncompliance, or no response."

That method is a program of intervention based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA has been known by many names, including “behavioral intervention” and “behavioral treatment.” Although other therapies may prove to be beneficial for some children, either alone or as a supplement to an ABA program, none has yet been documented to be effective. ABA is also referred to as Discrete Trial Therapy or DTT, since the discrete trial method of teaching forms an integral part of any program. But this name is a misnomer since an ABA program involves other components in addition to discrete trials. ABA is also sometimes referred to as “Lovaas treatment,” after the Professor at UCLA who first packaged these methods and documented their success for teaching children with autism. But Lovaas is just one “brand” of ABA. There are many other successful programs in the United States using these methods including many well known programs here in the Northeast. For example, in Massachusetts there are the New England Center for Children and the May Center."

"text": "“Why are we not acting to save the world?” – B. F. Skinner, behaviorist and father of operant conditioning In a field where 89% of graduates go on to work with adults and children with cognitive and developmental disorders – most commonly those that fall on the spectrum of autistic disorders – you might find it hard to imagine applying behavior analysis therapies to bring about positive behavioral change in any other population. You would have good reason to feel that there are few other things as compelling as using ABA as a therapeutic method and educational intervention designed to help kids with ASD develop social skills, learn alongside neurotypical students in the classroom and become happy, successful, functional members of society. Really, what could be more rewarding than that? But perhaps you’re just not familiar with the full body of work that ABAs do. In studying psychology and human behavior at the graduate level, ABAs come away with a broad set of skills that have proven to be effective in promoting and reinforcing desired behaviors in a wide range of areas. This has created countless ways that behavior analysis can be applied to encourage positive behavioral change and improve the quality of life for both individuals and broader segments of the populace – from individuals struggling with behavioral addictions like online gaming, gambling and risky sexual behavior… to at-risk populations with health problems related to obesity and a sedentary lifestyle… to corporate and industrial workers looking to achieve peak productivity… among many others.

Treatment of AS/HFA can help your child navigate through social challenges, capitalize on his or her strengths, and be successful.

[ 1] [2] It is the applied form of behavior analysis; the other two forms are radical behaviorism (or the philosophy of the science) and the experimental analysis of behavior (or experimental research). [ 1]The name \"\"applied behavior analysis\"\" has replaced behavior modification because the latter approach suggested attempting to change behavior without clarifying the relevant behavior-environment interactions. In contrast, ABA tries to change behavior by first assessing the functional relationship between a targeted behavior and the environment. [ 3] Further, the approach often seeks to develop socially acceptable alternatives to aberrant behaviors. [ 3] [4] [5]ABA has been brought to bear on a wide range of areas and behavioral problems. Examples include such things as early intensive behavioral interventions for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), [6] research on the principles influencing criminal behavior, as well as HIV prevention, [7] conservation of natural resources, [8] education, [9] gerontology, [10]health and exercise, [11] industrial safety, [12] language acquisition, [13] littering, [14]medical procedures, [15] parenting, [16] psychotherapy, seatbelt use, [17]severe mental disorders, [18] sports, [19] substance abuse, phobias, pediatric feeding disorders, and zoo management and care of animals.

"text": "What is Applied Behavior Analysis, and Why You Want a Behavior Analyst On Your Child’s Team Michelle Hecht MA, BCBA When it comes to helping children with autism to achieve their learning goals, and to become participating, contributing, and independent members of society, intensive applied behavior analysis, or ABA, is currently the educational treatment approach with the strongest scientific support. Given that as of yet there is no known cure or preventative treatment for this neurodevelopmental disorder, all parents and guardians of children recently diagnosed with autism should be equipped with ABA knowledge and skills. So, what is applied behavior analysis, and why should you have a behavior analyst on your child’s team? What is Applied Behavior Analysis? Behavior analysis is the scientific approach to understanding how environment affects behavior. These days it is generally accepted that behavior is impacted greatly by both biological and environmental factors. Professional and academic fields as diverse as education and advertising examine how various aspects of the environment affect human behavior, to promote their respective knowledge bases and goals. Behavior analysis stands out among these fields as a science. It relies on the same tools as other sciences: clear definitions, objective measurement, controlled experimentation, data analysis, and replication. Applied behavior analysis utilizes these tools in order to bring about important changes in the behavior of individual clients."

"text": "August 17 2016The Benefits of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)Chiselbox Blog, Resources ABA, Applied Behavior Analysis, Resources 0Getting an autism diagnosis can be overwhelming for families. With so many misconceptions, as well as an abundance of therapies and treatments, parents can have a hard time sifting through the plethora of information given by doctors, teachers, and the media. But one aspect that most people can agree on is that families of children with autism seek to provide a happy and productive life for their children. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the use of specific techniques and principles to bring about meaningful and positive changes in behaviors for individuals diagnosed with autism and is widely recognized as one of the safest and most effective treatment for autism. ABA is defined by the Center for Autism and Related Disorders as “ […] the application of the principles of learning and motivation from Behavior Analysis, and the procedures and technology derived from those principles, to the solution of problems of social significance.” It is the most established autism treatment by insurance providers and is endorsed by the U. S. Surgeon General, The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders, The National Standards Project, and the Association for Science in Autism (ASAT). ASAT further states, “Because ABA currently has substantially more scientific support than any other behavioral or educational intervention for children with ASD [autism spectrum disorder], ASAT recommends that families and professionals strongly consider implementing ABA and […] further recommends that professionals describe other behavioral and educational interventions as untested and encourage families who are considering these interventions to evaluate them carefully. ”ABA’s primary focus is seeking to better understand and improve human behavior. ABA uses principles of human behavior in order to achieve higher success rates for autistic students by, among many things, determining the purpose of problematic behaviors in order to substitute such behaviors with more desirable behaviors. Studies have demonstrated that ABA techniques can improve communication, social relationships, play, and academic performance resulting in an increased participation in family and community activities."

"text": "Applied Behavior Analysis benefit coverage will be extended to all fully insured commercial members June 17, 2016Printer friendly version Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a type of intensive behavioral treatment for autism spectrum disorder. Coverage, when available, is provided through the plan’s mental health benefits. ABA treatment is generally focused on the treatment of core deficits of autism spectrum disorder, such as maladaptive and stereotypic behaviors that are posing danger to self, others or property, and impairment in daily functioning. Types of services may include diagnostic evaluations/assessments, treatment planning, treatment and/or other procedures, medication management, individual, family and group therapy. Provider-based case management services or crisis intervention typically may be provided by a board-certified behavior analyst under appropriate supervision. What is Changing? United Healthcare currently covers ABA for the treatment of autistic spectrum disorder for our fully insured commercial membership where required by law and for self-funded plans that elect to include ABA benefit coverage. Beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2017, United Healthcare will be extending ABA benefit coverage to new and renewing fully insured small and large group plans in the few remaining states that do not mandate ABA coverage. ABA is subject to clinical management. Consistent with this change, United Healthcare will also retire its commercial medical policy on ABA."

Africa is made up of ethnic groups with different languages and beliefs, hence their choices of names differ. Traditional African given names often reflect the circumstances at the time of the birth of the Child. Typical African names such as Ogechukwu “God’s time”, Esi “Sunday”, Khamisi “Thursday”, Mwanajuma “Friday”, Uka “also means Sunday, and Wekesa “harvest time” refer to the time or day when the child was born. Other names reflect the birth order of the newborn, for example Okpala “first male Child”, Kunto “third born”, Ada “First female Child”, Nsonowa “seventh born”, and Wasswa “first of twins”. Some names describe the parents’ reaction to the birth (such as Anuli, Kayode, Gwandoya, Abeni and Monifa) while others are reflections of the desired characteristics of the new-born (like Yejide, Dada, Chiumbo and Zuberi). Although as a result of colonisation by foreign countries, lots of African baby names are now of European origin, in this article, we’ve decided to publish a collection of Unique African baby names you’ve probably never heard of before.

Following a hypersensitivity reaction to ZIAGEN, NEVER restart ZIAGEN or any other abacavir-containing product because more severe symptoms, including death can occur within hours.

"text": "Human Genome Project YESTERDAYJust a half-century ago, very little was known about the genetic factors that contribute to human disease. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick described the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the chemical compound that contains the genetic instructions for building, running and maintaining living organisms. Methods to determine the order, or sequence, of the chemical letters in DNA were developed in the mid-1970s. In 1990, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Energy joined with international partners in a quest to sequence all 3 billion letters, or base pairs, in the human genome, which is the complete set of DNA in the human body. This concerted, public effort was the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project’s goal was to provide researchers with powerful tools to understand the genetic factors in human disease, paving the way for new strategies for their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. From the start, the Human Genome Project supported an Ethical, Legal and Social Implications research program to address the many complex issues that might arise from this science. All data generated by the Human Genome Project were made freely and rapidly available on the Internet, serving to accelerate the pace of medical discovery around the globe. The Human Genome project spurred a revolution in biotechnology innovation around the world and played a key role in making the U. S. the global leader in the new biotechnology sector. In April 2003, researchers successfully completed the Human Genome Project, under budget and more than two years ahead of schedule."

Other HIV drugs including raltegravir (Isentress) and dolutegravir (Tivicay) and Triumeq (contains dolutegravir) have also been linked to mood changes Of these, efavirenz is the main drug linked with mood changes. Since 2016, UK guidelines no longer recommend efavirenz as the preferred choice for starting treatment. However, even in the UK, efavirenz is still likely to be widely prescribed. This is because generic efavirenz is now very inexpensive. Although case reports of similar side effects have been reported with atazanavir/r, nevirapine, abacavir and other ARVs, these are very rare. More recently, integrase inhibitors have been linked to mood changes. There are several difficult things about these side effects linked to efavirenz. Firstly, nearly everyone will get some of these symptoms, but for most people they will be mild and easy to manage. This means that you might have some strange dreams, or find yourself daydreaming or getting more worried, or you might get more upset than usual."

Side Effects Changes to Your Face and Body (Lipodystrophy & Wasting)Tweet Share Print Changes in body fat became a signature struggle among the HIV population during the early years of the modern era of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment, which began in 1996 with the introduction of the first of the triple combination drug cocktails. Lipodystrophy, which refers to an abnormal distribution of fat in the body, soon replaced wasting and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions as the most prominent physical manifestation of HIV. It was a cruel irony that some of the very drugs that helped return so many HIV-positive people to robust health during that time wound up making many look sick, at least in the eyes of the uninformed. Lipodystrophy and wasting syndrome can be disfiguring and emotionally devastating conditions, fortunately both are less common in people living with HIV today thanks to advances in ARV treatment. Click below for more on the causes of and treatments available for these conditions: Lipodystrophy Facial lipoatrophy Wasting syndrome What is lipodystrophy? Lipodystrophy is an umbrella term that refers to both: Lipohypertrophy: abnormal accumulation of fat in certain parts of the body Lipoatrophy: abnormal loss of fat in certain parts of the body As new and improved ARVs have come out, replacing the drugs infamous for causing lipodystrophy, the side effect has become much less common. But because these changes in fat distribution are more or less permanent, they typically persist in those who have already developed them. Also, because HIV itself can apparently cause these changes, even people who have never taken those older ARVs may still develop fat abnormalities. The good news is that many HIV-positive people these days never experience lipodystrophy. The most common forms of lipohypertrophy are: Accumulation of fat around the organs, known as visceral fat or visceral adipose tissue, which causes a firm, enlarged abdomen."

It works by inhibiting HIV integrase, which is an enzyme that is needed for the virus to multiply. Therefore, this prevents virus from multiplying and decreases the activity of the virus. What does Tivicay Treat Tivicay is FDA approved to be used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. HIV infects the white blood cells in the human immune system. This leads to low levels of important white blood cells such as CD4+ T cells. The number of CD4+ cells measure the severity of the infection and is often used in studies as an outcome for treatment. Tivicay is approved for both adults and children over the age of 12 and in those that weight over 40 kilograms. How is HIV treated The treatment regimen for HIV usually involves three separate drugs. Two of these drugs are often referred as the “background” or “backbone” treatment because they are from the same class of antiretrovirals known as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), while the third drug is from a different class."

It is a form of metabolic acidosis, in which excessive acid accumulates due to a problem with the body's metabolism of lactic acid. Lactic acidosis is typically the result of an underlying acute or chronic medical condition, medication, or poisoning. The symptoms are generally attributable to these underlying causes, but may include nausea, vomiting, rapid deep breathing, and generalised weakness. The diagnosis is made on biochemical analysis of blood (often initially on arterial blood gas samples), and once confirmed, generally prompts an investigation to establish the underlying cause to treat the acidosis. In some situations, hemofiltration (purification of the blood) is temporarily required. In rare chronic forms of lactic acidosis caused by mitochondrial disease, a specific diet or dichloroacetate may be used. The prognosis of lactic acidosis depends largely on the underlying cause; in some situations (such as severe infections ), it indicates an increased risk of death.

"text": "HIV Medicine Effects of Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor Backbone on the Efficacy of First-line Boosted Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Based on Protease Inhibitors: Meta-regression Analysis of 12 Clinical Trials in 5168 Patients A Hill; W Sawyer Disclosures HIV Medicine. 2009;10 (9):527-535. In This Article Abstract and Introduction Patients and Methods Results Discussion References Abstract and Introduction Abstract Objectives: Tenofovir/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) and abacavir/lamivudine (ABC/3TC) are widely used with ritonavir (RTV)-boosted protease inhibitors (PIs) as first-line highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but there is conflicting evidence on their relative efficacy. The ACTG 5202 and BICOMBO trials suggested higher efficacy for TDF/FTC, whereas the HEAT trial showed no efficacy difference between the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) backbones. Methods: A systematic MEDLINE search identified 21 treatment arms in 12 clinical trials of 5168 antiretroviral-naïve patients, where TDF/FTC ( n =3399) or ABC/3TC ( n =1769) was used with RTV-boosted PI. For each NRTI backbone and RTV-boosted PI, the percentage of patients with viral load <50 HIV-1 RNA copies/m L at week 48 by standardized Intent to Treat, Time to Loss of Virological Failure (ITT TLOVR) analysis were combined using inverse-variance weighting. The effect of baseline HIV RNA, CD4 cell count and choice of NRTI backbone were examined using a weighted analysis of covariance. Results: Across all the trials, HIV RNA suppression rates were significantly higher for those with baseline viral load below 100 000 copies/m L (77.2%) vs. above 100 000 copies/m L (70.9%) ( P =0.0005). For the trials of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV/r) and fosamprenavir/ritonavir (FAPV/r) using either TDF/FTC or ABC/3TC, the HIV RNA responses were significantly lower when ABC/3TC was used, relative to TDF/FTC, for all patients ( P =0.0015) and for patients with baseline viral load <100 000 copies/m L (70.1% vs. 80.6%, P =0.0161), and was borderline for those with viral load > 100 000 copies/m L (67.5% vs. 71.5%, P =0.0523). Conclusions: This systematic meta-regression analysis suggests higher efficacy for first-line use of a TDF/FTC NRTI backbone with boosted PIs, relative to use of ABC/3TC."

More than 85% of HIV patients experience a rash at one or the other stage due to the HIV infection which at times also becomes acute. As the immune system weakens, the vulnerability of getting infected also increases. The rash can also be a result of the medicines that one could be taking. As the number of White blood cells in an HIV patient falls the risk of infection increases. The skin rashes are generally noticed after 2-3 weeks of coming in contact with the virus. The ones who miss the rash could develop HIV rash later along with other infections. Symptoms The rash is a skin problem but it does come with other symptoms like flu. The rash usually impacts the body’s upper parts such as the shoulders, chest, and neck, behind the ears, face, hands and the torso. Sometimes even the palm of the hands gets a rash which is mostly flat."

"text": "Human Genome Project YESTERDAYJust a half-century ago, very little was known about the genetic factors that contribute to human disease. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick described the double helix structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the chemical compound that contains the genetic instructions for building, running and maintaining living organisms. Methods to determine the order, or sequence, of the chemical letters in DNA were developed in the mid-1970s. In 1990, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Energy joined with international partners in a quest to sequence all 3 billion letters, or base pairs, in the human genome, which is the complete set of DNA in the human body. This concerted, public effort was the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project’s goal was to provide researchers with powerful tools to understand the genetic factors in human disease, paving the way for new strategies for their diagnosis, treatment and prevention. From the start, the Human Genome Project supported an Ethical, Legal and Social Implications research program to address the many complex issues that might arise from this science. All data generated by the Human Genome Project were made freely and rapidly available on the Internet, serving to accelerate the pace of medical discovery around the globe. The Human Genome project spurred a revolution in biotechnology innovation around the world and played a key role in making the U. S. the global leader in the new biotechnology sector. In April 2003, researchers successfully completed the Human Genome Project, under budget and more than two years ahead of schedule."

CD4 T cells are a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte). These are important cells that protect the body against various bacteria, viruses and other germs. HIV actually multiplies within CD4 cells. HIV cannot be destroyed by white blood cells, as it keeps on changing its outer coat, so protecting it. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is a term which covers the range of infections and illnesses which can result from a weakened immune system caused by HIV."

"text": "HIV/AIDSHealth Guide Disease Reference Care Notes Medication List Encyclopedia Q & AMore The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) weakens the body's immune defenses by destroying CD4 (T-cell) lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. T-cells normally help guard the body against attacks by bacteria, viruses and other germs. When HIV destroys CD4 cells, the body becomes vulnerable to many different types of infections. These infections are called “opportunistic” because usually they only have the opportunity to invade the body when the immune defenses are weak. HIV infection also increases the risk of certain cancers, illnesses of the brain and nerves, body wasting, and death. The range of symptoms and illnesses that can happen when HIV infection severely weakens the body's immune defenses is called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS. Since 1981, when doctors first recognized HIV/AIDS as a new illness, scientists have learned much about how a person becomes infected with HIV. The virus is spread through contact with an infected person's body fluids, especially through blood, semen and vaginal fluids. HIV can be transmitted: During sex (anal, vaginal and oral)By contaminated blood (by sharing or accidentally being stuck with a contaminated needle Through transfusions before blood products started being screened for HIV in 1985)By being born to a mother who is infected with HIVOnce inside the body, HIV particles invade CD4 cells and use the cells' own building machinery and materials to produce billions of new HIV particles. These new particles cause the infected CD4 cells to burst (lyse)."

"text": "\"History of the Abacus By: Jason Baker The word abacus comes from the Greek word \"\"ABAX\"\" meaning a calculating board or calculating table. It was invented by the Chinese, the first known record of the abacus was from an ancient sketch in a book from the Yuan Dynasty which was in the fourteenth century. It has a Mandarin name which is\"\"Suan Pan\"\" which means calculating plate. It's inventor is unknown. The Abacus is mostly referred to as the first computer. An Abacus was made of a rectangular wood frame and had a piece of wood running through the middle. On the top layer there is two rounded beads and on the bottom there is five beads. There were eleven wooden poles which were very small and held the beads in place. On the abacus you could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. In Asian countries it is not unusual to see shopkeepers adding up prices for sales."

"text": "\"English Words with Hebrew Origins These common English words have their origins in Hebrew and Jewish thought.by Dr. Yvette Alt Miller You might know more Hebrew than you think. Check out these surprising Hebrew and Jewish origins of common English words. You might never think about these common terms the same again. Ruthless – In the Torah, Ruth was the epitome of kindness and giving: a Moabite princess, she gave up her wealth and position to take care of her mother-in-law Naomi. Ruth was eventually rewarded for her great kindness by becoming the spiritual mother of the Jewish people, the great-grandmother of King David. To be “Ruth”–less is to lack the kindness and compassion that characterized Ruth; in modern English it denotes being venal and selfish. Copacetic – this English word means that everything’s in order, that all is as it should be. It’s similar to (and some think derived from) the common Hebrew phrase kol beseder: everything’s okay. Leviathan – This English word meaning a great sea creature is directly taken from the Hebrew word for whale: leviaton. Abracadabra – Acknowledging that God is the sole Creator of the world is a central value in Judaism."

"text": "The Roman Abacus The ancient Romans designed the first portable calculating device for use by moneychangers and bankers, businessmen, and engineers. This Roman abacus, made of bronze and dating from the second century CE, is currently on display at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. The device used grooved beads that could be slid up or down on numbered slots. Many of the beads on this abacus are missing; the shorter slots on top would have each contained a single bead, since these beads represented units of 5, while the longer slots on the bottom would have each contained 4 beads, since these beads represented units of 1. The slots were arranged in ascending order from right to left. The first two columns on the right were used to calculate fractions. The symbols carved on the remaining seven columns indicate their place in the system of Roman numerals. Reading from right to left, these columns represent the ones [I], the tens [X], and the hundreds [C]: The remaining columns use archaic symbols—thousands [∞], ten thousands [ ( (|))], hundred thousands [ ( ( (|)))], millions [X in a three-sided box]: The abacus appears on a second-century CE funerary relief that depicts the deceased young man reclining beneath his dead father's portrait, with his grieving mother seated on the right. The slave standing on the left is operating an abacus, which symbolizes the family's success in business (note also the large moneybag in the young man's right hand): Close this window when finished.

( Tutorial on Abacus)Tutor Z - 1-on-1 Private and Online Tutoring Subscribe 1.6KAdd to Share More121,744 views25065Published on Oct 2, 2013The abacus is an ancient calculating tool, constructed for the system of powers of ten. It means, that in lower the column we have the ones place, in the second one we have tens, in the third - hundreds, in the fourth - thousands, in fifth - tens thousands and so on. The simplest type of calculation you can do - is, if you stay on the ones place and add one number to another, for example 4 plus 3 and we have 7 as a result of your calculation. If you need to make calculation, that 9, for example 8 plus 7 will be 15. Then you need to calculate it by breaking down 1 bead in the column of tens and 5 beads in the column of ones. The main idea of the abacus is that tens contains ones, and the hundreds contain tens and so on. And if you have 10 ones you can just break down 1 bead in the column of tens.

The answer is simple: it's FASTER!Researchers have proven that \"\"mental-image calculation\"\" is more than five to ten times faster compared to using calculators. The brain activity of advanced abacus students shows a rapid movement in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is now known to instantly process massive information.

By working on your \"\"image\"\" brain, you can awaken the great potential that has been sleeping within you for a long time!Soroban versus an Electric Calculator On November 12, 1946, a contest was held in Tokyo between the Japanese soroban, used by Kiyoshi Matsuzaki, and an electric calculator, operated by US Army Private Thomas Nathan Wood. The bases for scoring in the contest were speed and accuracy of results in all four basic arithmetic operations and a problem which combines all four. The soroban won 4 to 1, with the electric calculator prevailing in multiplication."

Pioneers such as Dr. Needham at Cambridge have discovered that many of the great achievements in science and technology actually originated from China. Working out who invented precisely what and when is a daunting task as contemporaneous records are fragmentary. The first invention of something is by its nature an isolated event and it is unlikely that the initial discovery is faithfully recorded. It is only when an invention becomes widely adopted that there is a realistic chance that someone will have written down an accurate account. Even so it is quite possible for the same idea to be independently discovered in several places at more or less the same time, greatly complicating any search for the origin. So tracing the first appearance of something is a case of careful detective work. An invention in one place can lead to it being found after a hundred years over a very widespread area. In the case of China, the trade between Rome and China in the Han dynasty is well known and documented. Along the desert Silk Roads between the two great civilizations of the time there must have been the transmission of objects of the greatest value: ideas and inventions."

New residents to California will be required to have an initial inspection to register, even if you have a current certificate from your previous state. Testing can be completed at DMV-approved locations throughout your county. Safety inspections are not generally required for registration or renewal. In California, most vehicles are required to be smog checked every 2 years. Keep reading below for information about smog inspections in California, including forms and fees you'll need to provide. New California Residents The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires new residents to bring their vehicles to a smog inspection station (see Completing a Smog Check in California below) for a smog check before registering their vehicles, which must be completed within 20 days of establishing residency. You must then present the smog inspection certificate when registering your vehicle . Even if they're current, out-of-state smog inspection stickers or certificates do not suffice this requirement. Once you've completed your initial smog check, you will then be subject to the standard schedule of re-certification every 2 years."

If a city downstream was required to treat the river water to make it safe for drinking, it might impose a pollution tax to cover the cost of additional water treatment. POLLUTION TAXThe paper market is a market that generates spillover costs. Another word for spillover cost is external cost. A pollution tax internalizes the externality. If the firm pays $4 per gallon of waste, the cost of polluting the river is internal to the firm, not external. FIRM’S RESPONSE TO POLLUTION TAXMost polluting firms can control the amount of polluting waste they dump into the environment;As a firm continues to decrease waste, it becomes progressively more expensive to do so."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The American flag stands against the backdrop of a smoggy Los Angeles in 1972. The California Smog Check Program is an attempt to reduce smog in California. The California Smog Check Program requires vehicles that were manufactured in 1976 or later to participate in the biennial (every two years) smog check program in participating counties. [ 1] The program’s stated aim is to reduce air pollution from vehicles by ensuring that cars with excessive emissions are repaired in accordance with federal and state guidelines. With some exceptions, gas-powered vehicles that are six years old or newer are not required to participate; instead, these vehicles pay a smog abatement fee for the first 6 years in place of being required to pass a smog check. The six-year exception does not apply to nonresident (previously registered out-of-state) vehicles being registered in California for the first time, diesel vehicles 1998 model or newer and weighing 14,000 lbs or less, [2] [3] or specially constructed vehicles 1976 and newer. [ 3] The program is a joint effort between the California Air Resources Board, the California Bureau of Automotive Repair, and the California Department of Motor Vehicles. A Smog Check is not required for electric, diesel powered manufactured before 1998 or weighing over 14,000 lbs, trailers, motorcycles, or gasoline powered vehicles 1975 or older. [ 4] In April 2015, hybrid vehicles became subject to smog check requirements. [ 5]Although vehicles 1975 and older are not required to get a smog check, owners of these vehicles must still ensure that their emissions systems are intact. ["

Additionally, some vehicles only need a passing smog check when they are being sold or being registered in California after previously being registered in another state. Whether or not a vehicle needs a smog check depends on the type of vehicle, the model-year, and the area in which the vehicle is registered. Under California vehicle emissions control laws and regulations, you must get a smog check for your car in the following cases:1.) My Registration Renewal Notice says “Smog Certification Required” 2.) I am selling my car. 3.) I am bringing a car into California to be registered. When you sell a vehicle in California, the seller is responsible for getting a smog certificate prior to completing the sale."

However, if you are writing a product description, a poem or a work of fiction, these abbreviations are not always appropriate.

Trauma triage Trauma triage is the use of trauma assessment for prioritising of patients for treatment or transport according to their severity of injury. Primary triage is carried out at the scene of an accident and secondary triage at the casualty clearing station at the site of a major incident. Triage is repeated prior to transport away from the scene and again at the receiving hospital. The primary survey aims to identify and immediately treat life-threatening injuries and is based on the 'ABCDE' resuscitation system: A irway control with stabilisation of the cervical spine. B reathing. C irculation (including the control of external haemorrhage)D isability or neurological status. E xposure or undressing of the patient while also protecting the patient from hypothermia. Priority is then given to patients most likely to deteriorate clinically and triage takes account of vital signs, pre-hospital clinical course, mechanism of injury and other medical conditions. Triage is a dynamic process and patients should be reassessed frequently, the following is one example of triage sieve which is used in the UK: Priority 1 (P1) or Triage 1 (T1): immediate care needed - requires immediate life-saving intervention."

It is especially useful when variates are positive and negative, e.g. waves. It can be calculated for a series of discrete values or for a continuously varying function.

"text": "Usage E.g. vs. i.e. The abbreviation e.g. —short for the Latin phrase exempli gratia —means for example. It is different from i.e. —short for the Latin id est —which means that is, namely, or in other words. The two are sometimes mixed up, but other than being abbreviations of Latin phrases, they share no common ground. E.g. is easy to remember because both it and example start with e . With i.e., just remember that it and that is are both two syllables, or make a mental connection between i.e. and the two-letter i words is and in in that is and in other words. I.e. and e.g. are lowercase when they come in the middle of a sentence. Most American style guides recommend following e.g. and i.e. with a comma and including the periods after each letter, and this is usually borne out in edited American books and publications. Outside North America, the periods and the comma are often omitted. Advertisement There is no need to italicize e.g. and i.e. in normal use (we italicize them in this post because we’re discussing them, not using them). English speakers typically italicize words and phrases from foreign languages when they are new to English, but i.e. and e.g. have been in English for hundreds of years, so they now go unitalicized."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Celsius (disambiguation). A thermometer calibrated in degrees Celsius The Celsius scale, previously known as the centigrade scale, [1] [2] is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units (SI). As an SI derived unit, it is used by all countries in the world, except the United States, Myanmar, and Liberia. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval, a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty. Before being renamed to honor Anders Celsius in 1948, the unit was called centigrade, from the Latin centum, which means 100, and gradus, which means steps. Before 1954, the Celsius scale was based on 0 °C for the freezing point of water and 100 °C for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure following a change introduced in 1743 by Jean-Pierre Christin to reverse the Celsius thermometer scale (from water boiling at 0 degrees and ice melting at 100 degrees). This scale is widely taught in schools today. By international agreement, since 1954 the unit \"\"degree Celsius\"\" and the Celsius scale are defined by absolute zero and the triple point of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW), a specially purified water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which defines the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as being exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C."

Methods of Heat Transfer Rates of Heat Transfer We all have a feel for what temperature is. We even have a shared language that we use to qualitatively describe temperature. The water in the shower or bathtub feels hot or cold or warm. The weather outside is chilly or steamy. We certainly have a good feel for how one temperature is qualitatively different than another temperature. We may not always agree on whether the room temperature is too hot or too cold or just right. But we will likely all agree that we possess built-in thermometers for making qualitative judgments about relative temperatures. What is Temperature?

"text": "\"Heat Capacity - Heat Capacity And Calorimetry, Heat Capacity And The Law Of Conservation Of Energy - Significance of the high heat capacity of water Tweetsubstance temperature celsius raise Heat capacity (often abbreviated Cp) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. Heat capacity may also be defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of one mole of a substance by one degree Celsius (the molar heat capacity) or to raise one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius (the specific heat capacity). Heat capacity is related to a substance's ability to retain heat and the rate at which it will heat up or cool. For example, a substance with a low heat capacity, such as iron, will heat and cool quickly, while a substance with a high heat capacity, such as water, heats and cools slowly. This is why on a hot summer day the water in a lake stays cool even though the air above it (which has a low heat capacity) heats quickly, and why the water stays warm at night after the air has cooled. Water has one of the highest heat capacities of all substances. It takes a great deal of heat energy to change the temperature of water compared to metals. The large amount of water on Earth means that extreme temperature changes are rare on Earth compared to other planets. Were it not for the high heat capacity of water, our bodies (which also contain a large amount of water) would be subject to a great deal of temperature variation. See also Thermodynamics."

"text": "See all USA departure airports for flights to Ecuador Best Time to Fly to Ecuador Peak Season: Peak season for visiting mainland Ecuador is June through September and December through January. However, even in the rainy season, conditions are good and travel is still enjoyable. Quito especially is a year-round destination, though be prepared for temperatures to become chilly due to its altitude during the dry season, June through September. The Galapagos Islands remain relatively dry even in the wet season, so are a good year-round destination. Official peak season is June through August and again December through January; though this is based more on holiday seasons of travelers arriving from the United States and Europe. Off Season: December through April is the rainiest season in the jungle. While it's great to find cheap flights to Ecuador, it's not advised to travel during the rainy season. The jungle is damp and uncomfortable, and Ecuador is best seen during the peak season when the temperature is warm and dry. Why you should take a flight to Ecuador After the flight to Ecuador, most visitors head straight to Quito, one of the oldest cities in both North and South America. Bring an extra suitcase on your Ecuador trip –one of the largest and most colorful open markets in South America is located in Quito, at the top of a volcano."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship. Prefixes for civilian vessels may either identify the type of propulsion, such as \"\"PS\"\" for paddle steamer, or purpose, such as \"\"RV\"\" for research vessel. Civilian prefixes are often used inconsistently, and frequently not at all. Sometimes a slash is used to separate the letters, as in \"\"M/S\"\". Naval prefixes came into use as abbreviations for longer titles, such as \"\"His/Her Majesty's Ship\"\" in the British Royal Navy, abbreviated \"\"H. M. S.\"\" and then \"\"HMS\"\". Earlier uses often included the type of vessel, as for instance \"\"U. S. F.\"\" (\"\"United States Frigate\"\") for frigates of the United States Navy, that were eliminated by President Theodore Roosevelt 's Executive order of 1907 making \"\"United States Ship\"\" (USS) the standard for the Navy's commissioned ships while in commission. [ 1] In the United States Navy that prefix officially only applies while the ship is in active commission, with only the name used before or after a period of commission and for all vessels \"\"in service\"\" rather than commissioned status.

Tipping and Haggling Holiday Budget Ecuador Holidays What to do about Money in Ecuador From January 2000 onwards, the official currency of Ecuador has been the US dollar.

Alternatively you can get US dollars at even more competitive rates here in the UK and bring them with you - either way you know that you can easily change your Ecuador holiday money back again when you come back from your holiday. Travellers Cheques and Credit Cards in Ecuador You can use your card in Ecuador to pay directly at more and more shops and restaurants, although most smaller cafes and shops still won't, so it's always good to have some cash on hand. This is particularly true when travelling to the Galapagos, as you will have to pay your $100 Galapagos National Park fee and the $10 Galapagos Transit Card on arrival in the islands - crucially before you pass through immigration and are able to get to a cash machine... Before you travel, if you're planning to use your card to withdraw money in Ecuador from cash machines or to pay directly for things, we'd recommend that you contact your bank before travelling so that they know you will be in Ecuador."

"text": "ARC Home | Writing a manuscript Capitalization When Defining Abbreviations Summary Although an abbreviation is composed of capital letters, the full words that define the abbreviation are not always capitalized. Each case involves considering if the word is an official name or a proper noun. Subscribe to our resources: This tip is a follow-up to our previous discussion of using singular or plural abbreviations. One question we have received on several occasions concerns capitalization of words that define an abbreviation. Because the abbreviation is composed of capital letters, many writers believe that the full words that define the abbreviation should be capitalized as well. Most of the time, the spelled-out words should not be capitalized. Here we have some examples of initialisms and acronyms, which are shortened phrases: The program’s graphical user interface was extremely user friendly. The program’s GUI was extremely user friendly.

Historical evolution of the Lithuania currency: As the official currency of Lithuania, Litas first emerged in 1992, when Lithuania became politically independent, following the First World War. In reality, the introduction of Litas was aimed at replacing the Ostruble and Ostmark. Soon after its emergence, the Lithuanian currency along with the then currency Talonas, underwent currency exchanges from Ruble to Litas. However, Litas derived its name after the name of Lithuania. It remained pegged to the US dollar in a ratio of 1:4 from 1994 to 2002. Presently, it is pegged to Euro in the ratio 3.4528:1. As per the popular estimates, Euro may replace Litas on the 1st of January, 2010."

As an example, the time zone abbreviation \"\"IST\"\" can refer to Irish Summer Time, Israel Standard Time or Indian Summer Time all of which observe different time zones.. Time Zone Abbreviations offer many advantages over writing the full name of the Time Zone. They are shorter and can be used more effectively to express a time zone such as 2:00 PM EST. Compare this to writing the full name of the time zone which would be 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. In verbal communications the opposite is true. It is often preferable for purposes of clarity to use the full time zone name rather than the time zone abbreviation. As an example, you may hear on the radio or television a program time announced as 5:00 Eastern Standard Time rather than 5:00 EST. Military time zones are used worldwide for both military and civilian purposes. They represent each of the twenty four time zones in use around the world."

Hemoglobin Hemoglobin (also spelled haemoglobin - Abbreviated Hb or Hgb), is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae) as well as the tissues of some invertebrates. Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the respiratory organs (lungs or gills) to the rest of the body (i.e. the tissues). There it releases the oxygen to permit aerobic respiration to provide energy to power the functions of the organism in the process called metabolism.

"text": "Procedures & Tests - Blood Test: Hemoglobin A1c What It Is A hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) test is used to monitor long-term glucose (sugar) control in people with diabetes. While daily blood sugar testing gives a picture of day-to-day fluctuations, the hemoglobin A1c test offers an overview of how well glucose has been controlled over the past 2 to 3 months. The test assesses the amount of glycated (sugar-coated) hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein found in red blood cells. Protein and sugar naturally stick together, and there's more sugar in the blood of people with poorly controlled diabetes, so they tend to have a higher percentage of Hb A1c in their blood. Because the sugar stays attached to hemoglobin for the life of the red blood cell (about 120 days) doctors can use the test to determine the person's average blood sugar levels over that time. Why It's Done Doctors use the hemoglobin A1c test to determine if your child's diabetes management plan needs to be adjusted. Typically the test is performed in a clinical laboratory or the doctor's office and repeated a few times a year. The Hb A1c test may be done more often if your child is newly diagnosed, has changed medications, or is starting a new treatment plan. Close monitoring of Hb A1c and blood sugar levels can help you and your doctor adjust your child's treatment plan to improve blood sugar control."

Specifically, it measures the number of glucose molecules attached to hemoglobin, a substance in red blood cells. The test takes advantage of the lifecycle of red blood cells. Although constantly replaced, individual cells live for about four months. So by measuring attached glucose in a current blood sample, average blood sugar levels over the previous two to three months can be determined. Hb A1c test results are expressed as a percentage, with 4 to 6 % considered normal. The Hb A1c \"\"big picture\"\" complements the day to day \"\"snapshots\"\" obtained from the self-monitoring of blood glucose (mg/dl), and the two tests can be equated as in the printable diabetes chart. When interpreting your hemoglobin test you should keep in mind that results differ depending on the test method used. Some labs measure hemoglobin A1 (which is different than hemoglobin A1c). Also, realize that Hb A1c results may reflect the averaging of a period of high glucose with a period of low glucose, as opposed to the consistent readings required for good control."

Tarannum Alam MD a Nancy Weintraub MD b Jane Weinreb MD c Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jamda.2005.12.017 Get rights and content Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health problem for the aging population. Glycemic control is fundamental to the management of diabetes, as glycemic levels are closely linked to development of diabetes-related complications. Measurement of the hemoglobin A1c (A1c) to assess chronic glycemic control is an integral component of diabetes care. Currently, there is no clear evidence that age alters the relationship between A1c and average blood glucose. The Diabetes Control and Complications trial and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study are the 2 main studies that have provided evidence leading to the widespread recommendation of A1c monitoring. The American Diabetes Association recommends achieving an A1c level of 7% or lower. However, older diabetics represent a heterogeneous population ranging from frail nursing home residents to active community-dwelling elderly with variable life expectancies. One needs to look at the individual in order to best balance risk versus benefit associated with tight glycemic control. Benefits of intensive therapy in an effort to lower A1c must always be weighed against the greater risk of disabling and unpredictable hypoglycemia, as the geriatric population is less likely to benefit from reducing the risk of microvascular complications and more likely to suffer serious adverse effects from hypoglycemia."

It can also be used to screen for or aid in the diagnosis of diabetes. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that helps to carry oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. Sugars such as glucose link up with hemoglobin molecules causing them to become glycated. A Hemoglobin A1C test provides a measurement of a person's average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by determining the percentage of their hemoglobin which is glycated. This test includes a calculation for estimated average glucose (e AG). EAG is a measurement which indicates a person's average daily blood sugar level. EAG is reported in the same units a person with Diabetes would see from the glucose meter they use to measure their own blood sugar. This measurement can give a person a more accurate assessment of how well they are managing their glucose levels because it is not based on single measurements taken at a specific time. The use of the Hemoglobin A1C with e AG test is endorsed by the American Diabetes Association."

It is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose. Hb A 1c is a measure of the beta-N-1-deoxy fructosyl component of hemoglobin. [ 1] The origin of the naming derives from Hemoglobin type A being separated on cation exchange chromatography. The first fraction to separate, probably considered to be pure Hemoglobin A, was designated Hb A 0, the following fractions were designated Hb A 1a, Hb A 1b, and Hb A 1c, respective of their order of elution.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Fructosamines are compounds that result from glycation reactions between a sugar (such as fructose or glucose) and a primary amine, followed by isomerization via the Amadori rearrangement. Biologically, fructosamines are recognized by fructosamine-3-kinase, which may trigger the degradation of advanced glycation end-products (though the true clinical significance of this pathway is unclear). Fructosamine can also refer to the specific compound 1-amino-1-deoxy-D-fructose ( isoglucosamine ), first synthesized by Nobel laureate Hermann Emil Fischer in 1886. Most commonly, fructosamine refers to a laboratory test for diabetes management that is rarely used in clinical practice (simple blood glucose monitoring or hemoglobin A1c testing are preferred). Many direct-to-consumer lab testing companies sell fructosamine tests, but these are unnecessary and of limited clinical value.

Most commonly, blood sugars are measured by either blood glucose monitoring which measures the current blood glucose level, or by Glycated hemoglobin (Hb A1c) which measures average glucose levels over approximately 3 months. In a similar way to hemoglobin A1c testing (which measures the glycation of hemoglobin), fructosamine testing determines the fraction of total serum proteins that have undergone glycation (the glycated serum proteins ). Since albumin is the most abundant protein in blood, fructosamine levels typically reflect albumin glycation. ( Some fructosamine tests specifically quantify the glycation of albumin, or glycated serum albumin instead of all proteins.)."

People with diabetes used to depend only on urine tests or daily finger sticks to measure their blood sugars. These tests are accurate, but only in the moment. As an overall measurement of blood sugar control, they’re very limited. This is because blood sugar can vary wildly depending on the time of day, activity levels, and even hormone changes. Some people may have high blood sugars at 3 a.m. and be totally unaware of it. Once A1C tests became available in the 1980s, they became an important tool in controlling diabetes. A1C tests measure average blood glucose over the past two to three months. So even if you have a high fasting blood sugar, your overall blood sugars may be normal, or vice versa. A normal fasting blood sugar may not eliminate the possibility of type 2 diabetes."

[ 8] Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. [ 2] Often there will be non-painful enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. [ 2] Those affected may feel tired or be itchy. [ 2]About half of cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma are due to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV). [ 3] Other risk factors include a family history of the condition and having HIV/AIDS. [ 2] [3] There are two major types of Hodgkin lymphoma: classical Hodgkin lymphoma and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. [ 5] Diagnosis is by finding Hodgkin's cells such as multinucleated Reed–Sternberg cells (RS cells) in lymph nodes. [ 2]Hodgkin lymphoma may be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplant. [ 4] The choice of treatment often depends on how advanced the cancer has become and whether or not it has favorable features. ["

Among the most common abbreviations used is Sx, which is shorthand for symptoms. Other frequently used abbreviations include Dx (diagnosis), Tx (treatment), Fx (fracture), Hx (history) and Rx (prescription). The use of “x” after the first letter of the terms is more expedient for busy health care providers who often fill out dozens of forms each day. Descriptive terms associated with back and neck symptoms Symptoms are classified as either acute or chronic. Acute symptoms are sudden in nature, generally lasting three months or less. Chronic symptoms typically arise gradually and last longer than three months. Spinal deterioration, which usually is associated with degeneration that accompanies the aging process, can cause chronic symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness and/or muscle weakness. Only if deterioration of the spinal anatomy leads to nerve compression will these symptoms arise. For example, if the extruded nucleus material of a herniated intervertebral disc makes contact with an adjacent nerve root in the lumbar (lower back) region, discomfort may be experienced in the lower back, buttocks, legs and/or feet."

"text": "\"Medical Isotopes : General Concepts *listed by the following topic areas: Isotopes | Stable & Unstable | Applications | Definitions | Diagnosis | Radiotherapy | Biochemical Analysis Diagnostic/Therapeutic Radiopharmaceuticals | Discovery | Isotopes in Medicine | Terms & Concepts ISOTOPES An isotope is one of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number (same number or protons in the nucleus) and position in the periodic table and nearly identical chemical behavior but with different atomic masses and physical properties. Every chemical element has one or more isotopes. An atom is first identified and labeled according to the number of protons in its nucleus. This atomic number is ordinarily given the symbol Z. The great importance of the atomic number derives from the observation that all atoms with the same atomic number have nearly, if not precisely, identical chemical properties. A large collection of atoms with the same atomic number constitutes a sample of an element. A bar of pure uranium, for instance, would consist entirely of atoms with atomic number 92. The periodic table of the elements assigns one place to every atomic number, and each of these places is labeled with the common name of the element, as, for example, calcium, radon, or uranium. Not all the atoms of an element need have the same number of neutrons in their nuclei. In fact, it is precisely the variation in the number of neutrons in the nuclei of atoms that gives rise to isotopes. Hydrogen is a case in point."

A regimen of induction carboplatin and gemcitabine followed by CRT was developed at the Mc Gill University Health Centre to prevent delays in treatment initiation. We report the long-term outcomes with this regimen based on a pooled analysis of both protocol patients from a phase II study and nonprotocol patients. Methods and Materials Outcomes and toxicity data were retrieved for 142 patients with stage III NSCLC: 43 patients treated on protocol between January 2003 and November 2004, and 101 patients treated off-protocol between December 2004 and August 2013. Patients received 2 cycles of carboplatin with an area under the curve of 5 intravenously (IV) on day 1 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m 2 IV on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks, followed on day 50 by CRT, 60 Gy/30 over 6 weeks, concomitantly with 2 cycles of paclitaxel 50 mg/m 2 IV and gemcitabine 100 mg/m 2 IV on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks. Results The median overall survival was 23.2 months. With a median follow-up of 23.8 months, the 3-, 4-, and 5-year overall survival was 38%, 30%, and 26%, respectively. The median and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 12.5 months and 25%, respectively. Rates of grade ≥ 3 hematologic, esophageal, and respiratory toxicity were 20%, 10%, and 10%, respectively. Forty-eight patients received further lines of chemotherapy."

"text": "\"Kidney Transplantation (redirected from Transplant of kidney)Kidney Transplantation Definition Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure to remove a healthy, functioning kidney from a living or brain-dead donor and implant it into a patient with non-functioning kidneys. National Transplant Waiting List By Organ Type (June 2000)Organ Needed Number Waiting Kidney 48,349Liver 15,987Heart 4,139Lung 3,695Kidney-Pancreas 2,437Pancreas 942Heart-Lung 212Intestine 137Purpose Kidney transplantation is performed on patients with chronic kidney failure, or end-stage renaldisease (ESRD). ESRD occurs when a disease or disorder damages the kidneys so that theyare no longer capable of adequately removing fluids and wastes from the body or of maintainingthe proper level of certain kidney-regulated chemicals in the bloodstream. Without long-termdialysis or a kidney transplant, ESRD is fatal. Precautions Patients with a history of heart disease, lung disease, cancer, or hepatitis may not be suitablecandidates for receiving a kidney transplant. Description Kidney transplantation involves surgically attaching a functioning kidney, or graft, from a brain-dead organ donor (a cadaver transplant) or from a living donor, to a patient with ESRD. Livingdonors may be related or unrelated to the patient, but a related donor has a better chance of having a kidney that is a stronger biological \"\"match\"\" for the patient. The surgical procedure to remove a kidney from a living donor is called a nephrectomy. Thekidney donor is administered general anesthesia and an incision is made on the side or front of the abdomen. The blood vessels connecting the kidney to the donor are cut and clamped, andthe ureter is also cut between the bladder and kidney and clamped."

"text": "The Army Tuition Assistance Program The Complete Guide to Army TA Benefits in 2018In 2018, the Army Tuition Assistance Program (often abbreviated as “Army TA”) will offer tens of thousands of dollars in tuition assistance to virtually anyone who joins the Army (Officers, Warrant Officers, Enlisted Personnel, Army Reserve and Army National Guard), as long as they’re on active duty. Army TA benefits are basically the opposite of Army Student Loan Forgiveness Program benefits, since TA pays for courses you haven’t yet taken, and SLRP benefits pay for courses you’ve already completed. Ideally, you should aim to leverage both programs to get the maximum value out of your military education benefits. But Before I Get Into It…Before we go through the Army TA Rate updates for this year, let me introduce you to a little secret: you may want to pay someone to help get rid of your student loans. If you’re having trouble keeping up with student loan payments, or if you’re confused about what to do with your loans, then you should call the Student Loan Relief Helpline for assistance, at 1-888-906-3065. The Student Loan Relief Helpline can review your specific situation and make a recommendation for how you can wipe out your debt as quickly and affordably as possible. When you call the Helpline, tell them you’re in the Army and are researching student loan forgiveness and student loan discharge opportunities for Soldiers, and they’ll be able to steer you toward the excellent military student loan forgiveness programs available this year. To reach the Student Loan Relief Helpline, call 1-888-906-3065. Is TA Still Available in 2018? Before you have a panic attack, yes, TA is still available, and it should be available throughout the entire year (unless we face another Government shutdown)."

"text": "Apostrophes are primarily used to show possession, though they have a number of other common uses, as well. Possessive Case The primary use of the apostrophe is to indicate the possessive case. Singular Possessive To form a possessive with a singular noun, use an apostrophe followed by an s. Examples: My aunt’s home is in Montana. Our supervisor’s name is Joshua. This is generally true even if the word itself ends with an s. Still add an apostrophe and s. Examples: Have you seen Marcus’s report? We reviewed James’s work yesterday. On the other hand, some writers prefer to omit the s after the apostrophe whenever a word already ends in s or z. Though this guideline is easy to follow, it does not follow the norms of pronunciation, and it can therefore seem unnatural. Examples: Last night we had dinner at Mr. Lewis’ home. He loves to read about Jesus’ miracles. Have you read Mr. Chavez’ report?"

But if you’re one of the many individuals who find that they can and want to go the extra mile in education, then a master’s degree program might just be the right fit. In deciding whether to make that type of commitment, one of the first question you most likely will ask yourself is, “how long does it take to get a master’s degree?” The answer: not that long! Well, not nearly as long as a typical undergraduate degree or a more specialized graduate degree in law or medicine for example. A master’s degree is an academic degree obtained by individuals who have completed in-depth high level work and research in a specific field of study or area of professional practice. Within the area studied, graduates are expected to have advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. The degree is awarded upon graduation from a university. Admission to a college or university can be an arduous and time consuming process."

"text": "UCF 101: Move-in Day, Where to Go, What to Do Students moving into one of UCF’s 10 residential communities soon discover there’s more to preparing their new home for the school year than picking up their room keys and dropping their stuffed boxes on their beds. This semester’s official move-in days are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 21-22. The housing staff will check in residents those days with the help of volunteers and campus partners providing directions and information. The housing staff also will be available the abbreviated hours of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday for students to move in, but without volunteers assisting students. Some students involved in special programs such as marching band, sorority recruitment and theatre auditions have already taken advantage of early move-in. Ideally, this year’s incoming students representing all 50 states and 152 countries have already reviewed UCF Housing and Residence Life’s website as they prepare for moving in, such as what to bring, what NOT to bring, and where to park while unloading items. With all the commotion of the day, it’s easy to overlook some of the details while lugging in clothes, towels, electronic devices and other things from back home. So keep in mind: Arriving and checking in New residents and moving helpers should park in designated temporary unloading zones for your specific community that have already been assigned. Parking staffers on site will issue one-hour parking passes for check-in and express unloading. To avoid crowding at check-in, students are encouraged to check in while helpers remain outside."

"text": "\"Year From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Eclipse year)navigation search The Analemma illustrates the changing position of the Sun over the course of the year, as viewed from a fixed time of day. A year is the orbital period of the Earth moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. The current year is 2018. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian, or modern, calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars; see below. For the Gregorian calendar the average length of the calendar year (the mean year) across the complete leap cycle of 400 years is 365.2425 days. The ISO standard ISO 80000-3, Annex C, supports the symbol \"\"a\"\" (for Latin annus) to represent a year of either 365 or 366 days."

"text": "\"Effective Listening and Note-Takingby Johnie H. Scott, Assistant Professor Pan African Studies Department - California State University, Northridge Introduction Second only to effectively managing one's time, being able to follow lectures is the most important critical study skill that a student can have. When you look at the profiles of successful students, there is a common thread tying them together -- these are students who have the ability to take comprehensive notes in virtually all classes regardless of who the instructor might be or what the subject matter is. These are students who are not sidetracked by the fact that an instructor may be softspoken, or speak with an accent, or seem somewhat distant from the students in the classroom. They understand that far more than the written material, what the instructor chooses to emphasize -- and not emphasize -- while in the classroom has a direct bearing on the objectives and requirements of the course along with teacher expectations. The reality is that no two teachers, and no two lecturers, are ever the same even though the course readings and requirements may be identical. With that in mind, it is the purpose of this particular presentation to present a format for taking effective lecture notes or, better still, being effective in following and understanding what the lecturer is trying to get across, knowing how to determine what is important as opposed to what is not important or is of lesser importance. In a word, this presentation focuses upon listening skills -- skills that determine who is going to make it in an academic environment fairly easily and who is going to have a difficult time. One must begin with an understanding of just what a lecture represents -- \"\"a dialogue between you and the speaker.\"\" ( Sotiriou, pg. 161)."

Degree Degree Conferred: Associate in Engineering Science (A. E. S.), 65 credits Program Contact: Business/CIS/Engineering and Technology, (815) 921-3101Program Overview The Associate in Engineering Science Degree is designed to provide graduates with transfer credits to a baccalaureate engineering degree program. The degree supports A. E. S. graduates’ ability to complete a Bachelor of Science (B. S.) Degree depending in large part on the requirements of the four-year institution. The student should identify his/her engineering major and target institution as soon as possible. Students who are unsure of a major in engineering may wish to pursue an Associate in Science (A. S.) Degree. Although students completing an A. S. Degree can complete all of the general education requirements at Rock Valley College, they may be required by the program prerequisites at the transfer school to take three years to complete the baccalaureate engineering program. I. College Requirementsa. Semester Hours: A minimum of 65 credit hours completed as specified in the following sections. b. Grade-Point: A minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 (“C” average) in all course work taken. c. A “C” or better in each engineering specialty course and elective. II."

NEW Scholarship Directory for Nurses and Students NEW Product Directory for Nurses and Studentsby able2009Views: 100,712 Comments: 11I'm just wondering about how long is a CAN course and what does it consist of??? Thanks for your info.11 Comments Topic Closed Jan 4, '09Impossible to generalize. Different states have different amounts of classroom hours and clinical hours in their requirements. Then, how long the actual class takes depends on how many times you meet a week and for how long. You can finish a CNA class in about 4-6 weeks going almost full time, or spread it out over a semester. The class, regardless of state, will have most of the training in the classroom where you'll be touching on a number of medically-related topics. You will always have a portion of the course that is 'hands on' (the clinical portion) where you have to learn a skill set (you'll see a lot of references to skills in the forum and being tested for them). To actually get certified, you need to pass the skills test and a written test that are done differently in different states. Jan 4, '09It depends how you do it, like the other poster said it can be 4-6 weeks or a full semester."

The degree is the basic prerequisite for registration to practice as a pharmacist in many countries and its about understanding the properties and impacts of medicines and developing the skills required to counsel patients about their use. In some countries, it has been superseded by the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) and Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degrees. In the United States, this degree was granted as the baccalaureate pharmacy degree only at Washington State University, where it has now been superseded by the Pharm D degree. The degree previously offered within the US—and still the required degree in Canada—is the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. B Pharm holders can work in several fields such as : working as a pharmacist , patient counseling, doing further studies such as master degree, working in a university as a lecturer or working as a drug information specialist.

"text": "Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis Vaccine Recommendations & Safety Information Vaccination Recommendations There are four combination vaccines used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis: DTa P, Tdap, DT, and Td. Two of these (DTa P and DT) are given to children younger than 7 years of age, and two (Tdap and Td) are given to older children and adults. Children should get 5 doses of DTa P, one dose at each of the following ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 15-18 months and 4-6 years. DT does not contain pertussis vaccine, and is used as a substitute for DTa P for children who cannot tolerate pertussis vaccine. Td is a tetanus-diphtheria vaccine given to adolescents and adults as a booster shot every 10 years, or after an exposure to tetanus under some circumstances. Tdap is similar to Td but also contains protection against pertussis. Adolescents 11-18 years of age (preferably at age 11-12 years) and adults 19 and older should receive a single dose of Tdap. Tdap should also be given to 7-10 year olds who are not fully immunized against pertussis. Tdap can be given no matter when Td was last received. * Upper-case letters in these abbreviations denote full-strength doses of diphtheria (D) and tetanus (T) toxoids and pertussis (P) vaccine."

( verify)Tetanus vaccine, also known as tetanus toxoid ( TT ), is an inactive vaccine used to prevent tetanus. [ 1] During childhood five doses are recommended, with a sixth given during adolescence. [ 1] Additional doses every 10 years are recommended. [ 2] After three doses almost everyone is initially immune. [ 1] In those who are not up to date on their tetanus immunization a booster should be given within 48 hours of an injury. [ 3] In those with high risk injuries who are not fully immunized tetanus antitoxin may also be recommended. [ 1] Making sure women who are pregnant are up to date on their tetanus immunization and, if not, immunizing them can prevent neonatal tetanus. [ 1]The vaccine is very safe including during pregnancy and in those with HIV/AIDS. [ 1] Redness and pain at the site of injection occur in between 25% and 85% of people. ["

The Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Clostridium tetani organisms are grown on modified Mueller's media 1,2 which contains bovine extracts. The bovine material used in these extracts is sourced from countries which the United States Department of Agriculture has determined neither have nor present an undue risk for bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Tetanus and diphtheria toxins produced during growth of the cultures are detoxified with formaldehyde. The detoxified materials are then separately purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation. The diphtheria toxoid is further purified by column chromatography. The tetanus and diphtheria toxoids are individually adsorbed onto aluminum phosphate."

The antigens are the same as those in DAPTACEL ®, Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (DTa P); however, Adacel vaccine is formulated with reduced quantities of d and detoxified PT. The acellular pertussis vaccine components are obtained from Bordetella pertussis cultures grown in Stainer-Scholte medium (1) modified by the addition of casamino acids and dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin. PT, FHA and PRN are isolated separately from the supernatant culture medium. FIM are extracted and co-purified from the bacterial cells. The pertussis antigens are purified by sequential filtration, salt-precipitation, ultrafiltration and chromatography. PT is detoxified with glutaraldehyde, FHA is treated with formaldehyde, and the residual aldehydes are removed by ultrafiltration. The individual antigens are adsorbed onto aluminum phosphate."

Literature review current through: Jan 2018. | This topic last updated: Sep 12, 2017. INTRODUCTION — Administration of the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTa P) vaccine is routinely recommended in children, with a single booster dose of a vaccine containing tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) recommended for 11- to 12-year-olds, followed by tetanus toxoid and the reduced diphtheria toxoid in the form of Td recommended at 10-year intervals throughout life ( figure 1A-B ). ( See \"\"Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis immunization in infants and children 0 through 6 years of age\"\" and \"\"Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis immunization in children 7 through 18 years of age\"\" . ) Despite these recommendations, immunity to tetanus and diphtheria continues to wane among adults in the United States."

Daptacel is for active immunization in infants and children 6 weeks to 6 years old. Adacel is indicated for active booster immunization as a single dose in persons 11 to 64 years old and is the first vaccine approved as a pertussis booster for adults. The component antigens in Adacel and Daptacel are the same, but the relative amounts are much greater with the infant vaccination. As such, these are easy to confuse. In one clinic, 13 adults were vaccinated with Da ptacel in error. At another clinic, seven adults received Daptacel instead of Adacel. Fortunately, none of the patients appeared to have experienced any unusual vaccine reactions despite the fact that the pediatric formulation contains greater amounts of the detoxified pertussis toxin and diphtheria toxoid. The similarities of the brand names, generic designations, and vaccine abbreviations (Tdap and DTa P) were felt to have contributed to the confusion. Packaging similarities also contribute to errors."

From January to December 2016, there were only four cases of tetanus in England. The number is low because an effective tetanus vaccine is given as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. Most people who get tetanus weren't vaccinated against it or didn't complete the entire vaccination schedule. How you get tetanus Tetanus bacteria can survive for a long time outside the body, and are commonly found in soil and the manure of animals such as horses and cows. If the bacteria enter the body through a wound, they can quickly multiply and release a toxin that affects the nerves, causing symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasms. The bacteria can get into your body through:cuts and scrapestears or splits in the skinburnsanimal bitesbody piercings, tattoos and injectionseye injuriesinjecting contaminated drugs Tetanus can't be spread from person to person. Symptoms of tetanus The symptoms of tetanus usually develop 4 to 21 days after infection. On average, they start after around 10 days. The main symptoms include:stiffness in your jaw muscles (lockjaw), which can make opening your mouth difficultpainful muscle spasms, which can make breathing and swallowing difficulta high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or abovesweatinga rapid heartbeat Left untreated, the symptoms can get worse over the following hours and days."

In physics, momentum of an object is equal to the mass times the velocity. momentum = mass * velocity Momentum is usually abbreviated using the letter \"\"p\"\" making the equation look like: p = m * vwhere p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. From this equation you can see that both the velocity of the object and the mass have an equal impact on the amount of momentum. You have more momentum when you are running than when you are walking. By the same token, if a car and bicycle are traveling down the street at the same velocity, the car will have more momentum.

Viscosity measurements are used in everything from lubrication and heat transfer fluids, to adhesives and coatings to aerodynamic and hydrodynamic drag. Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Think of viscosity as fluid friction. Thinner liquids, such as water, have lower viscosities, while thicker liquids like oil have higher viscosities. Viscosity can also be thought of as a measure of the \"\"thickness\"\" of the liquid.

"text": "Baghouses A baghouse is a dust collection devices that filter air by passing it through a cloth or synthetic fiber media (or bag). A bag is a long cylinder-shaped envelope that collects dust on its exposed surface. Baghouses differ not by the method by which dust is removed from the airstream but rather by the method by which dust is removed from the bag. If used in conjunction with a cyclone, a baghouse is used as an after filter and located downstream. Baghouses are necessary for air filtration, not scrap collection. Unlike the cyclone, the fine paper dust collected from a baghouse has no value in recycling. Baghouses are necessary where moderate to stringent emission control measures are in place. In addition to its environmental value, a baghouse may reduce winter heat loss if conditioned air is passed through the baghouse and recirculated back into the facility. Unlike a cyclone, a baghouse can support the cleaning efficiency necessary to direct its outlet air back into the plant. Baghouse Selection Given an air capacity, a baghouse often may be selected based on a set air-to-cloth ratio."

Mass is a combination of the total number of atoms, the density of the atoms, and the type of atoms in an object. How to Measure Mass Mass is usually measured in kilograms which is abbreviated as kg. In physics there are different ways of determining the quantity of mass. Two of the most commonly used are inertial mass and gravitational mass. Inertial mass - Inertial mass is determined by how much the object resists acceleration. For example, if you push two objects under the same conditions with the same amount of force, the object with the lower mass will accelerate faster. Gravitational mass - Gravitational mass is a measurement of how much gravity an object exerts on other objects. It can also be the measurement of how much gravity an object experiences from another object."

Acceleration The time rate of change of velocity, usually measured in Gs in the English system of measurements, and in meters per second per second (m/s2) in the SI system. It is interesting to note that the G is not actually a unit of acceleration, but is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at the earths surface. This causes some undue complexity in converting parameters between acceleration, velocity, and displacement. The value of G amounts to 32.2 feet per second per second. Accelerometer A transducer whose electrical output is directly proportional to acceleration over a fairly wide frequency range. The high-frequency response of an accelerometer is limited by its inevitable internal mechanical resonance. Most common accelerometers respond down to one or two hertz, and some special accelerometers respond all the way down to zero frequency, sometimes called \"\"D. C. response\"\". Algorithm An algorithm is simply a specific procedure for solving a mathematical problem. In digital computers, algorithms for different purposes are stored and called into play when needed for certain operations."

Probably one of the most typical examples of acceleration, if you're at all interested in cars, is that many times they will give you acceleration numbers, especially for sport cars, actually all cars if you look up in Consumer Reports, or wherever they give the stats on different cars.

[ 1] It was soon shown fluid flow measurement could be made from the Doppler effect on a He-Ne beam scattered by very small polystyrene spheres entrained in the fluid. [ 2]At the Research Laboratories of Brown Engineering Company (later Teledyne Brown Engineering), this phenomenon was used in developing the first laser Doppler flowmeter using heterodyne signal processing. [ 3]The instrument was soon called the laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) and the technique laser Doppler velocimetry, also abbreviated LDV. Another application name is laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). Early LDV applications ranged from measuring and mapping the exhaust from rocket engines with speeds up to 1000 m/s to determining flow in a near-surface blood artery. A variety of similar instruments were developed for solid-surface monitoring, with applications ranging from measuring product speeds in production lines of paper and steel mills, to measuring vibration frequency and amplitude of surfaces.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A gravity turn or zero-lift turn is a maneuver used in launching a spacecraft into, or descending from, an orbit around a celestial body such as a planet or a moon. It is a trajectory optimization that uses gravity to steer the vehicle onto its desired trajectory. It offers two main advantages over a trajectory controlled solely through the vehicle's own thrust. First, the thrust is not used to change the spacecraft's direction, so more of it is used to accelerate the vehicle into orbit. Second, and more importantly, during the initial ascent phase the vehicle can maintain low or even zero angle of attack. This minimizes transverse aerodynamic stress on the launch vehicle, allowing for a lighter launch vehicle. [ 1] [2]The term gravity turn can also refer to the use of a planet's gravity to change a spacecraft's direction in situations other than entering or leaving the orbit. [ 3] When used in this context, it is similar to a gravitational slingshot; the difference is that a gravitational slingshot often increases or decreases spacecraft velocity and changes direction, while the gravity turn only changes direction.

From the 1860s to 1950s, a major application of armor-piercing projectiles was to defeat the thick armor carried on many warships. From the 1920s onwards, armor-piercing weapons were required for anti-tank missions. AP rounds smaller than 20 mm are typically known as \"\"armor-piercing ammunition \"\", and are intended for lightly-armored targets such as body armor, bulletproof glass and light armored vehicles. The classic AP shell is now seldom used in naval warfare, as modern warships have little or no armor protection, and newer technologies have displaced the classic AP design in the anti-tank role. An armor-piercing shell must withstand the shock of punching through armor plating. Shells designed for this purpose have a greatly strengthened body with a specially hardened and shaped nose."

Definition Conjugate gaze is the movement of both eyes in the same vertical or horizontal direction. Integrated supranuclear impulses produce conjugate gaze. These impulses deal with the overall function of the ocular system, not with the movement of individual extraocular muscles. Conjugate gaze is abnormal when either or both eyes fail to move in unison in a horizontal or vertical direction. Diplopia is usually absent. Technique The oculomotor examination begins after examining visual acuity and visual fields. This chapter deals with the examination of five aspects of ocular function: fixation, saccadic movements, pursuit movements, compensatory movements and opticokinetic nystagmus. The monograph by Leigh and Zee (1983) and the book by Miller (1985) are excellent sources of further information.

Do you wonder what your eye doctor is checking for as she shines a bright light into your eyes? Be assured that this light is not meant to irritate you—it has a purpose and can \"\"shed light\"\" on how well your nervous system is working. More specifically, this eye exam, called pupillary response testing, is used to examine the functioning of cranial nerve II (called the optic nerve) and cranial nerve III (called the oculomotor nerve). The optic nerve transmits visual signals from the retina to the brain. Damage to the optic nerve (like from optic neuritis) can cause vision problems. The oculomotor nerve controls four of the six eye muscles and also controls constriction of the pupil and the ability of the eye to focus. Damage to the oculomotor nerve (like from a head injury, infection, high blood pressure, or brain tumor) can cause double vision or an enlarged or blown pupil. What Is PERRLA?"

Not to be confused with Comma. Coma Specialty Neurology, psychiatry Coma is a state of unconsciousness in which a person cannot be awakened; fails to respond normally to painful stimuli, light, or sound; lacks a normal wake-sleep cycle; and does not initiate voluntary actions. [ 1] A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose. A distinction is made in the medical community between a real coma and a medically induced coma, the former is a result of circumstances beyond the control of the medical community, while the latter is a means by which medical professionals may allow a patient's injuries to heal in a controlled environment. A comatose person exhibits a complete absence of wakefulness and is unable to consciously feel, speak, hear, or move. [ 2] For a patient to maintain consciousness, two important neurological components must function. The first is the cerebral cortex —the gray matter that forms the outer layer of the brain. The other is a structure located in the brainstem, called reticular activating system (RAS). [ 3] [4]Injury to either or both of these components is sufficient to cause a patient to experience a coma."

Pre-hospital management of these patients affects the true measurement of the GCS and other factors may affect pupillary status. Patients and methods A retrospective review was undertaken of all patients who were classified GCS 3 and had bilateral fixed dilated pupils on admission to a Level 1 Adult Trauma Centre between July 2001 and March 2005. Pre-hospital assessment, hospital interventions and outcomes were determined. Results Ninety-three patients fulfilled the criteria for inclusion into the study. There were 6 survivors who were all less than 28 years of age, had at least one GCS score above 3 in the pre-hospital phase and were more likely to have had an evacuable mass lesion on CT brain scan and undergo craniotomy. Of the 6 surviving patients, none had significant thoracoabdominal injuries. Four of the survivors had Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) of 4 or 5. Time to hospital, mechanism of injury and pre-hospital haemodynamic parameters had no significant effect on survival. Of the 57 patients who were GCS 3 at the scene of the accident, post-basic resuscitation and on admission, none survived."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Other - Diseases When Assessing with PERRLA. how do you assess for Accomadation?1 following 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: PERRLA = Pupils, Equal, Round, React to Light, Acommodation. Some individuals write PEARL which might stand for pupils equal and reactive to light. This is probably satisfactory although it might be better to write PERRL (leave out the A). The accommodation reflex is difficult to see on light eyed individuals, it is impossible to see on dark eyed individuals, and it is impossible to accomplish on non-cooperative subjects such as infants and toddlers. The clinical utility of checking the accommodation reflex has almost no clinical utility other than to identify the Argyll Robertson pupil of neurosyphilis. Usually we look at objects at varying distances. In order to see them sharply, the images must be focused to the macula. Therefore, the lens has to change its refractive power continuously, a process called accommodation of the eye. The lens is supported in a system of fine threads (zonulae) attached to the accommodation muscles (ciliary muscles)."

Visual acuity In the clinic, visual acuity is typically measured at distance. Otherwise, in a consult setting outside of the clinic, it’s measured at near. Don’t forget to have a near card with you. Make sure the patient is wearing his or her correction. Always have a pair of +3.00 readers with you, as many people in the emergency room won’t have their glasses with them. A pinhole occluder will also reduce the impact of uncorrected refractive error. If the patient is unable to see the biggest optotype on the card, the progression (from better to worse) is counting fingers (CF), hand motions (HM), light perception (LP) with projection, LP without projection and no light perception (NLP). For children who are too young to use Allen pictures, employ the “central, steady, maintain (CSM)” approach. Central: Is the corneal light reflex in the center of the pupil?"

Expired July 2005Originally posted September 2004PATTY NOAH, RN, MSN, CNRNPATTY NOAH is the director of the neuro intensive care unit at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. Whether it's a brief check of neurological status or a comprehensive neuro exam, your assessment may uncover nervous system dysfunction before it's too late. The neuro assessment is a key component in the care of the neurological patient. It can help you detect the presence of neurological disease or injury and monitor its progression, determine the type of care you'll provide, and gauge the patient's response to your interventions. The initial assessment should be a comprehensive exam covering several critical areas: level of consciousness and mentation, cranial nerves, movement, sensation, cerebellar function, and reflexes. This initial exam will establish baseline data with which to compare subsequent assessment findings. Once a thorough exam is done on admission or at the beginning of each shift, subsequent assessments should be problem-focused, zeroing in on the parts of the nervous system affected by the patient's condition. The patient's diagnosis and the acuity of her condition will determine how extensive your problem-focused assessments will be and how frequently you'll need to conduct them. The single most important assessment Evaluation of level of consciousness (LOC) and mentation are the most important parts of the neuro exam."

His last eye exam was about 10 years ago, at which time he was told he did not need glasses. Uncorrected visual acuity was 20/30- O. U. His near vision measured J1+ O. U. On manifest refraction, the patient was able to see 20/20 with a minimal myopic correction. Confrontation visual fields were full to careful finger counting O. D., but there was marked constriction of the superior field O. S. The inferior fields were completely full. He had full range of motions on motility testing, and he demonstrated orthophoria on cover testing. The pupils were equally round and reactive to light with an early escape of the left pupil on afferent pupillary testing. The anterior segment exam was unremarkable. IOP measured 12mm Hg O. U.

In binary contexts such as computer memory, M often represents 2 20 = 1 048 576 (see mebi-, below). M [2]the Roman numeral 1000, sometimes used in symbols to indicate a thousand, as in Mcf, a traditional symbol for 1000 cubic feet. Given the widespread use of M to mean one million, this older use of M to mean one thousand is very confusing and should be scrapped. M [3]the symbol for \"\"molar\"\" in chemistry (see below). Maa symbol for one million years, often used in astronomy and geology. The \"\"a\"\" stands for the Latin annum.mabsymbol for \"\"meters above bottom\"\" (bottom of the sea), a unit used in oceanography.macea traditional Chinese unit for weighing precious metals, especially silver. In the European colonial period, the mace was considered equal to 0.1 tael or liang; this would be 2/15 ounce or about 3.78 grams. Mach or mach (M or Ma)a measure of relative velocity, used to express the speed of an aircraft relative to the speed of sound. The name of the unit is often placed before the measurement."

It is also a gateway to Medina, the second holiest place in Islam. Economically, Jeddah is focusing on further developing capital investment in scientific and engineering leadership within Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East. Jeddah was independently ranked 4th in the Africa / Mid-East region in terms of innovation in 2009 in the Innovation Cities Index. Jeddah is one of Saudi Arabia's primary resort cities and was named a Gamma world city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network.

"text": "New passport offices are difficult to locate JEDDAH: IRFAN MOHAMMED | Published — Thursday 27 June 2013Expatriates wanting to go on vacation and needing to update their information are struggling to find new passport offices that were set up by the government about a month ago. There are now five offices for this purpose in Jeddah. The main office is in central Jeddah’s East Baghdadia, commonly known as Kandra. There are three offices in Rehab District — at the back of Dallah Tower, on Tadamun Al-Arabi Street and on Shaikh Muhammad bin Jubair Street. The fifth office is on Sari Street. Expatriates are required to update their information if they either renew their passports or get new passports after losing their originals. It takes from three to six hours to update information. The offices were set up without any announcement on locations, according to some observers. This has resulted in many expatriates roaming the streets for hours or entering other government offices by mistake. At the Rehab District office, a Sudanese national, who did not want to be identified, said it was tough getting his son's naqal maloumat (transferring visa details) done on the passport."

It's clear symbol of the current race to raise skylines around the world that Wright's vision from the '50s, yet to be realized, is coming closer and closer to reality. Developments in building technology and a surfeit of construction projects in Asia makes the title of tallest building more temporary than ever; only one of the buildings on this list of the ten tallest in waiting are in North America, and half of them will eventually eclipse the height of One World Trade Center. This list contains the tallest under construction based on data from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. There are many others on the drawing board, but this is meant to showcase the projects likely to be completed. A construction photo of the Jeddah Tower under construction. CTBUH Executive Director Antony Wood Jeddah Tower Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture Merdeka PNB118Jeddah Tower (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: 3,281 feet, estimated completion 2021)This skyscraper is likely will become the first to break the one kilometer mark, not merely because it's already under construction and supported by the deep pockets of billionaire Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, but because it was designed by Adrian Smith. An architect whose career highlights include the Hancock Center and Burj Khalifa, Smith designed the Jeddah Tower to be the next iteration of the Burj, a shard of steel and glass that, in its triangular shape, recalls a palm about to spread its fronds. The centerpiece of a new suburb, this skyscraper will shatter records, offer sightseers a perch on the 157th story (site of a proposed helipad), and even showcase an entirely new type of elevator, speedy double-decker cabins swept between floors by a new carbon fiber cord. Perhaps more incredible is that building was meant to be a mile high, but engineers discovered that the surrounding geology unsuitable to support such a structure."

Standing 171 metres (561 ft) high, it has been the tallest flagpole in the world since 2014. [ 2]The cylindrical flagpole was built of 500 tons of steel in September 2014 by the Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiative and Al-Babtain Power & Telecom. The flagpole broke the previous height record held by Dushanbe Flagpole in Tajikistan, which is 165 metres (541 ft) tall. [ 3] Previous record holders included the 162-metre (531 ft) National Flagpole in Azerbaijan, the 160-metre (520 ft) Panmunjeom Flagpole of Kijŏng-dong in North Korea, and the 133-metre (436 ft) Ashgabat Flagpole in Turkmenistan. A Saudi Arabian flag — 49.5 metres (162 ft) by 33 metres (108 ft) and weighing 570 kilograms (1,260 lb) [4] — was raised for the first time on 23 September 2014, the National Day of Saudi Arabia. Location [ edit]The Jeddah Flagpole is located in the center of King Abdullah Square, which confronts Jeddah North Corniche. The King Abdullah Square, also known as \"\"Custodian of Two Holy Mosques Square\"\", covers an area of 26,000 square meters with the flagpole in origin. The square represents the two swords and palm tree, the emblem of Saudi Arabia. Plants cover another area of 9000 square meters with the flagpole surrounded by 13 special lights, which represent the 13 governorates of Saudi Arabia. ["

"text": "Consul General U. S. Citizen Services Visas Procurement Solicitation Packages History of the Consulate The American Mission to Saudi Arabia began as a legation in Jeddah in 1943. Full diplomatic relations commenced in 1948 and the U. S Mission, located in a traditional house in the old city center, became an Embassy. The Embassy moved in 1952 to the current Consulate General location, which at the time was an isolated, beach-front property far to the north of the city limits. Along with all other foreign missions, the Embassy was transferred to Riyadh in 1984. The former Embassy compound in Jeddah is now a Consulate General in the heart of one of the Middle East’s most dynamic cities. Known locally as “The Bride of the Red Sea,” Jeddah lies at about the same latitude as Honolulu and Hong Kong, and it shares their hot, humid climate. Tradition has it that the city derives its name (meaning grandmother, in Arabic) from the legend that the biblical Eve was buried here. It has, since nearly the inception of Islam, been the main point of entry for foreign pilgrims intending to perform the Hajj or pilgrimage to Makkah. Caliph Othman personally selected it as the ideal locale over rivals to the north and south. Jeddah’s advantage was that it already was an established port with a history of facilitating the pre-Islamic pilgrimage and spice trades in the Hejaz, the western region of what is now Saudi Arabia."

The OIG is headed by an Inspector General who is appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. The Inspector General reports to the Secretary of the Treasury through the Deputy Secretary and provides the Secretary with independent and objective reviews of the department's operations. The Inspector General is required to keep both the Secretary and the Congress fully and currently informed about the problems and deficiencies relating to the administration of department programs and operations and the necessity for corrective action. Serving with the Inspector General in the Immediate Office is a Deputy Inspector General. Current Inspector General Eric M. Thorson FRAUD ALERTINDIVIDUALS CLAIMINGTO BE FROM THE TREASURY DEPARTMENTThere are numerous telephone and email scams in which individuals claim to be employees of the Treasury Department. These scammers often state that they are from the “Department of Legal Affairs” or “Grants Office” and offer grant money of some sort—most recently, the story is a ‘good citizen’ award and, ironically, a grant for ‘victims of fraud.’ In fact, the Treasury has no such programs. The scam is elaborate but results in a promise of thousands of dollars in grant funds after the victim either provides financial details, wires a pre-payment of some sort, or purchases i Tunes or other gift cards and reads the numbers on the cards to the scammers over the telephone, which the scammers can then sell on for further profit. Some of the scammers say they are from the IRS, and threaten to arrest you within a short period of time unless payment is made."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Cincinnati Customs House c. 1850–60 Governments were one of the earliest users of weights and measures – often for the purpose of tax collection. In the United States the US Treasury rather than Congress took the lead in establishing a standard system of weights and measures. The imperial and US customary systems of measurement are two closely inter-related systems of measurement both derived from earlier English system of measurement units which can be traced back to Ancient Roman units of measurement, and Carolingian and Saxon units of measure. US Customary units, developed and used in the United States after the American Revolution, are based on a subset of the English units used in the Thirteen Colonies, while the Imperial system of units was developed and used beginning in 1826 in the United Kingdom and subsequently used in the rest of the Commonwealth. US Customary units are the predominant system of units in the United States, but in all Commonwealth countries the metric system has, to varying degrees, replaced the imperial system. Most of the units of measure have been adopted in one way or another since the Norman Conquest (1066). The units of linear measure have changed the least – the yard (which replaced the ell) and the chain were measures derived in England. The foot used by craftsman supplanted the foot used in agriculture which was reduced in size by a factor of 10⁄ 11 to bring it into alignment. This resulted in there being 16 1⁄ 2 feet in a rod, pole or perch instead of 15 agricultural feet. The furlong and the acre, once it became a unit of the size of a piece of land rather than its value, remained relatively unchanged."

C. §§ 5311 – 5318) is the system of salaries given to the incumbents of the highest-ranked appointed positions in the executive branch of the U. S. government. The President of the United States appoints incumbents to these positions, most with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. They include members of the President's Cabinet as well as other subcabinet policy makers. There are five pay rates within the Executive Schedule, usually denoted with a Roman numeral with I being the highest level and V the lowest. Federal law lists the positions eligible for the Executive Schedule and the corresponding level. The law also gives the president the ability to grant Executive Schedule IV and V status to no more than 34 employees not listed. [ 1]The Executive Schedule is linked to the rates of pay for the General Schedule, Senior Executive Service, Senior Level, Senior Foreign Service, and other Federal civilian pay systems, as well as the pay of uniformed military personnel, because various federal laws establishing those pay systems normally tie the maximum amount payable to various levels of the Executive Schedule.

Financier Steven Mnuchin (C) arrives at Trump Tower on another day of meetings scheduled with President-elect Donald Trump on November 21, 2016, in New York. ( Photo credit: EDUARDO MUNOZ ALVAREZ/AFP/Getty Images)President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Steven Mnuchin as Secretary of the Treasury. Mnuchin, 53, is a graduate of Yale University. His father was a banker and partner at Goldman Sachs. Mnuchin followed suit, earning tens of millions of dollars at Goldman Sachs over almost two decades. Following Goldman Sachs, Mnuchin worked with Soros Fund Management (yes, that Soros) and eventually founded his own hedge fund company, Dune Capital Management LP. It turns out, Hollywood was also calling: Mnuchin began producing movies. In 2013, Rat Pac Entertainment merged with Mnuchin’s successful Dune Entertainment, which had backed blockbusters like The Devil Wears Prada and Avatar, to become Rat Pac-Dune Entertainment.

IMPACT ON TAXPAYERSThe Patient Protection and A f fordable Care Act of 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (coll e ctiv e l y re f e r r ed to as the Affordable Care Act) w ere signed into law in March 2010. Revenue provisions contained in the legislation are designed to generate $438 billion to help pay for the overall cost of health care reform. More than 40 of these provisions added to or amended the Internal Revenue Code and represent the largest set of tax law changes the IRS has had to implement in more than 20 years. WHY TIGTA DID THE AUDITThis audit is part of TIGTA’s strategy to monitor the IRS’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The overall objective of this review was to determine whether the IRS is effectively implementing select Affordable Care Act reporting requirements. WHAT TIGTA FOUNDThe IRS continues to make progress in implementing the information reporting requirements relating to Provisions 1502, 1514, 9002, and 9010 of the Affordable Care Act. However, the implementation plan for Provision 9002 that requires the i nclusion of employer health coverage on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, does not address how the IRS will use the information and how the IRS will ensure employer compliance with this information reporting provision. Many of the tax provisions included in the Affordable Care Act are interrelated."

"text": "\"WELFARE FRAUDImproper welfare payments, including fraud, are estimated to be 10.1% of all federal welfare payments made and totaled $71.5 billion in fiscal year 2015. This estimate is based on reports from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) [i], The General Accounting Office (GAO) [ii], and other federal agencies. Seven of the Welfare Programs make the OMB list of the top thirteen federal programs estimated to be “high error programs” - programs with improper payments greater than $750 million annually. These are highlighted below by individual program. Total welfare improper payments and fraud of $71.5 billion is an enormous sum greater than the entire budgets of TANF, Child Nutrition, Head Start, Job Training, WIC, Child Care, LIHEAP and the Lifeline programs, combined. Explanations by OMB and GAO of the causes of improper payments are shown below by welfare program. In general, the high level of improper payments comes from the complexity and uniqueness of income qualifications in multiple welfare programs, the reliance on users for income qualification information and the inability of multiple agencies to adequately verify user information and adhere to standards and rules. Improper Payment Definition Improper payments are described this way by the OMB: “ ‘Improper payments’ occur when:funds go to the wrong recipient;the right recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds (including over payments and underpayments);documentation is not available to support a payment; orthe recipient uses funds in an improper manner. Although not all improper payments are fraud, and not all improper payments represent a loss to the government, all improper payments degrade the integrity of government programs and compromise citizens’ trust in government. ”Reporting Requirements for Improper Payments Improper Payments are required to be reported by federal agencies under a 2002 statute that was amended in 2010 [iii]. The OMB website describes the process as follows: “ For all federal programs identified as risk-susceptible, the responsible federal agencies obtain a statistically valid estimate of the annual amount of improper payments in those programs."

"text": "Politics I. R. S. Scandal: Questions and Answers By JONATHAN WEISMAN and MICHAEL D. SHEAR MAY 20, 2013Congressional Republicans investigating targeting of political groups by the Internal Revenue Service are focused on what government officials knew about the department’s actions, and when they found out about it. Here are some of the questions that are likely to be at the center of hearings in the Senate and the House later this week. Q. When did the possibility that the I. R. S. was improperly targeting conservative groups first become public? A. The first reports emerged in February 2012 on conservative Web sites like The Blaze. The New York Times first reported on the issue on March 6, 2012. “ In recent weeks, the I. R. S. has sent dozens of detailed questionnaires to Tea Party organizations applying for nonprofit tax status, demanding to know their political leanings and activities,” The Times wrote at the time. Q. Why did the issue then remain quiet for more than a year? A. It was not yet clear in early 2012 that the I. R. S. was specifically targeting conservative groups. Groups allied with the Tea Party made that accusation. But the issue remained clouded by a larger debate over politically oriented groups that seek nonprofit tax status."

Phone Number | 202-622-6500Email Address | [email protected] Web Site | http://www.tigta.gov September 25, 2008MEMORANDUM FOR COMMISSIONER, WAGE AND INVESTMENT DIVISIONFROM: Michael R. Phillips /s/ Michael R. Phillips Deputy Inspector General for Audit SUBJECT: Final Audit Report – Processes Are Not Sufficient to Minimize Fraud and Ensure the Accuracy of Tax Refund Direct Deposits (Audit # 200840007)This report presents the results of our review to determine whether Internal Revenue Service (IRS) processes and controls over the direct deposit of refunds into taxpayer bank accounts [1] are adequate to ensure the deposits are accurate and to identify potentially misrouted or fraudulent direct deposits. This audit was included in our Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Audit Plan. Impact on the Taxpayer The IRS states that direct deposit provides taxpayers with a faster, more secure, more convenient means by which to receive their tax refunds. The IRS has offered taxpayers who electronically file this option since Tax Year 1987, and then expanded this option to include paper tax return filers beginning in Tax Year 1995. However, the IRS has not developed processes to ensure that the more than 61 million Filing Season 2008 tax refunds were deposited only to an account in the name of the filer, as required by Federal direct deposit regulations. [ 2] Consequently, there is an increased risk of refund fraud as well as the potential that inadvertent errors can result in depositing refunds into the wrong bank account. Synopsis The IRS is not in compliance with direct deposit regulations that require tax refunds be deposited to an account only in the name of the filer. The IRS has not developed sufficient processes to ensure that the more than 61 million Filing Season 2008 tax refunds were deposited to an account in the name of the filer. Federal regulations specify that non-vendor direct deposit payments should be made only to a deposit account in the name of the recipient."

"text": "Report Welfare Reforming the Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit to End Waste, Fraud, and Abuse and Strengthen Marriage November 16, 2016 Over an hour read Download Report Authors: Robert Rector and Jamie Hall Copied Select a Section 1 /0The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is the nation’s second largest means-tested cash welfare program. Its major function is to provide “refundable” tax credits to low-income individuals. The Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) is a second refundable tax credit, available only to families with children. Most families with children that receive the EITC also receive the ACTC. While the EITC plays an important role in the means-tested welfare safety net, it is rife with problems that include fraud and erroneous payments due to false reports of earnings and false residence claims, benefits intended for working parents going to nonparents, very high multi-tier benefits, and discrimination against married couples. The first three problems are also prevalent in the ACTC program. To help restore the integrity and mission of the EITC and ACTC programs, the following reforms should be implemented: Require the IRS to fully verify reported income before any refundable EITC payment is made;Allow only those with formal legal custody of a child to claim the EITC and ACTC for that child;Prohibit families with dependent children from receiving EITC and ACTC benefits if they are also receiving public housing assistance;Eliminate EITC marriage penalties by allowing only the parent with sole legal custody to be able to claim a child (among unmarried couples); eliminating EITC benefits for adults without dependents; and allowing married couples filing jointly the option of claiming the EITC on the basis of their joint earnings or on the basis of the earnings of either spouse; and Reduce marriage penalties throughout the rest of the means-tested welfare system by increasing EITC benefits for married couples with children. A sound welfare system should encourage self-sufficiency through work and marriage. The EITC and ACTC are intended to support work and marriage but currently have substantial flaws that stand in the way of these aims. The reforms outlined in this paper would promote these principles in these large means-tested cash welfare programs."

In terms of staff, the Military Police and the Civil Police are the most important ones, although in terms of headlines and prestige, the Federal Police is the one that concentrates most of the media attention. [ 1]The Civil Police is responsible for investigating crimes whilst the Military Police is responsible for preventing them to take place, although it is not rare to see their functions clashing and ever so often they actually have open confronts. The Civil Police is organized accordingly to functions. Scrivener ( escrivão) is the lower rank position responsible for the internal work inside the police premises (e.g., collecting witness statements). Detective ( detetive) or investigator ( investigador) is the position responsible for actions outside the premises (e.g., investigating the circumstances of a crime)."

About Latin terms and abbreviations Despite the fact that Latin is no longer the international language of scholars, bits and pieces of it can still be found scattered around. Some of these bits are very common and are even seen in non-academic writing, while others are much more obscure. Simply knowing what an abbreviation stands for and how to translate the underlying Latin words does not necessarily tell you how the abbreviation is used in actual modern practice. These little remnants of Latin have had a long and colorful life separated from their original language and context. There are a few generally accepted rules that apply to most Latin abbreviations. The major style manuals (MLA, APA and Chicago) agree that Latin abbreviations should be kept out of the main body of a text-that is, they should not appear in ordinary sentences within ordinary paragraphs. Certain abbreviations may be used in parentheses within the body of a text (etc., e.g., i.e. ), but the rest should appear only in footnotes, endnotes, tables, and other forms of documentation.

In the anime and manga, Orochimaru is a former ninja of the village of Konohagakure who is known for his abilities. However, creating his ninja village Otogakure as means to perform inhuman experimentation, Orochimaru sought a means to gain power and cheat death. In the latter, Orochimaru obtained a means for immortality by transferring between different host bodies which became one of his driving motivations throughout the series as he targets Sasuke Uchiha for his genetic heritage. While the main antagonist in Part I of the series, Orochimaru's role became overshadowed by the Akatsuki organization prior to the Fourth Ninja War arc. Orochimaru has appeared in media outside the Naruto anime and manga, including several video games. Based on Japanese mythology, Orochimaru was created as one of the series' main antagonists, and intended to represent the opposite of the protagonists' morals and values. [ 4] His snake-like appearance and related features were intended to make it easier for the reader to recognize that he is a villain.

M typically represents one thousand, so \"\"MM\"\" literally conveys \"\"a thousand thousand\"\". --M is the roman numeral for 1000. Roman numerals do not interpret adjacency in the same way as equations (ie multiplication). MM would simply be 2000 much as II is 2.

( February 2017)In the manga and anime series Naruto, by Masashi Kishimoto, a jutsu ( 術, lit. \"\" technique\"\" or \"\"skill\"\") is a supernatural ability possessed by a ninja. The series occurs in a fictional universe in which different countries fight for power using ninja soldiers. The Naruto story-line follows a group of young ninjas from the village Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village). In the series, the ninjas use their jutsu by manipulating a form of energy known as the chakra, which is a combination of the physical and mental energies into either of the other two main jutsus. Series creator Masashi Kishimoto developed the concept of jutsu to explain the supernatural feats that ninjas perform in the series and to provide an illustrative image of ninjas in manga. ["

"text": "Review: Frame Forge Pre-viz Studio v3.6By Barry Braverman / June 27, 2016Taming the Chaos on Set with This Versatile Storyboarding Application That Deals with 3D Space By and large, directors are a neurotic lot. That is understandable. With myriad details to manage on and off the set, feature film and commercial directors have plenty of distractions from capturing a visually compelling and emotional story. It’s a shame that many of them choose to stick with storyboarding the old-fashioned way, opting to draw stick-figure sketches in a spiral notebook or on the back of a napkin. Forget the rudimentary scrawl on the back of a bar napkin or paper. The real issue for filmmakers is how best to prepare for a shoot. Frame Forge Pre-viz elevates the storyboarding task exponentially. Why might directors eschew more sophisticated storyboarding tools? There is the inertia factor: We’ve always worked in a certain way and, if it works, why change now? This fear of change applies especially when the stakes are high, which is pretty much always the case in high-end cinema and television production."

Alphonse is a child who lost his body during an alchemical experiment to bring his deceased mother back to life and had his soul attached to a suit of armor by his older brother Edward. As a result, Alphonse is almost invulnerable as long as the armor's seal is not erased, but is unable to feel anything. To recover their bodies, the Elrics travel around their country Amestris to obtain the Philosopher's Stone—an alchemical object that could restore them. In the animated adaptations of Fullmetal Alchemist, Alphonse is voiced by Rie Kugimiya in Japanese. In the English adaptations, he is voiced by Aaron Dismuke in the first series and by Maxey Whitehead in the second. As a result of appearing in the series mostly in his armor, Arakawa has been focused on searching ways to make it appear as Alphonse is expressing emotions despite not having a body. Alphonse has also appeared in materials related to the manga, including video games and light novels that follow his journey. His character has been well received by readers of the series; he has consistently appeared in the top ten series' popularity polls. The character has received positive remarks from critics, with some commending his design and his relationship with Edward."

It is one of the largest comprehensive catalogues, as it includes all types of deep space objects, including galaxies, star clusters, emission nebulae and absorption nebulae.

About Latin terms and abbreviations Despite the fact that Latin is no longer the international language of scholars, bits and pieces of it can still be found scattered around. Some of these bits are very common and are even seen in non-academic writing, while others are much more obscure. Simply knowing what an abbreviation stands for and how to translate the underlying Latin words does not necessarily tell you how the abbreviation is used in actual modern practice. These little remnants of Latin have had a long and colorful life separated from their original language and context. There are a few generally accepted rules that apply to most Latin abbreviations. The major style manuals (MLA, APA and Chicago) agree that Latin abbreviations should be kept out of the main body of a text-that is, they should not appear in ordinary sentences within ordinary paragraphs. Certain abbreviations may be used in parentheses within the body of a text (etc., e.g., i.e. ), but the rest should appear only in footnotes, endnotes, tables, and other forms of documentation.

The WPTA call letters come from the long tradition of other Tarzian stations, including once former sister station WPTH, that base the call letters upon the initials of family members of company management. Upon its launch, channel 21 took all ABC programming from NBC affiliate WKJG-TV (channel 33, now WISE-TV) and CBS affiliate WANE-TV (channel 15). Under Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rules at that time, the market was deemed too small to support three full-power stations, so Tarzian's application listed WPTA's city of license as the small town of Roanoke, located just across the Allen / Huntington county line approximately 14 miles (23 km) to the southwest of its studios and transmitter in Fort Wayne. It was possible because the FCC had by this time allowed a station to have its main studio in a different location from its city of license. WPTA identified itself as \"\"Roanoke/Fort Wayne\"\" on-air until the license was officially transferred to Fort Wayne sometime in the 1970s."

D. and LL. M. This lesson will teach you about what constitutes a condition precedent. You will review the definition, examine a clause and look at examples where condition precedents are utilized. Definition of Condition Precedent Let's say that you want to buy a house. You enter into a contract for the purchase of the house. However, you want to make sure that the house is in good condition -- that it has a solid roof, good insulation, and definitely no asbestos -- so you hire an inspector to come and look at it. In your purchasing agreement, you include language which states that a condition of your purchase is that the property must pass inspection. A condition precedent is a condition or an event that must happen before a contract is in effect. A condition precedent can also trigger what each person must do under a contract. For instance, in the example, the agreement to purchase the house does not become effective until the inspector determines that the property passes inspection."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In North American broadcasting, a local marketing agreement (or local management agreement, abbreviated as an LMA) is a contract in which one company agrees to operate a radio or television station owned by another party. In essence, it is a sort of lease or time-buy. Under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, a local marketing agreement must give the company operating the station (the \"\"senior\"\" partner) under the agreement control over the entire facilities of the station, including the finances, personnel and programming of the station. Its original licensee (the \"\"junior\"\" partner) still remains legally responsible for the station and its operations, such as compliance with relevant regulations regarding content. Occasionally, a \"\"local marketing agreement\"\" may refer to the sharing or contracting of only certain functions, in particular advertising sales. This may also be referred to as a time brokerage agreement (TBA), local sales agreement (LSA), management services agreement (MSA), or most commonly, a joint sales agreement (JSA) or shared services agreement (SSA). JSAs are counted toward ownership caps for television and radio stations. [ 1] [2] In Canada, local marketing agreements between domestic stations require the consent of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), although Rogers Media has used a similar arrangement to control a U. S.-based radio station in a border market. The increased use of sharing agreements by media companies to form consolidated, \"\"virtual\"\" duopolies became controversial between 2009 and 2014, especially arrangements where a company buys a television station's facilities and assets, but sells the license to an affiliated third-party \"\"shell\"\" corporation, who then enters into agreements with the owner of the facilities to operate the station on their behalf. Activists have argued that broadcasters were using these agreements as a loophole for the FCC's ownership regulations, that they reduce the number of local media outlets in a market through the aggregation or outright consolidation of news programming, and allow station owners to have increased leverage in the negotiation of retransmission consent with local subscription television providers."

( Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/Getty Images)You may remember Tia Mowry as the straight-edge teen Tia Landry, her character from the 1990s television show Sister Sister, which she starred in with her real-life twin sister Tamera Mowry. But the 37-year-old actress has come a long way from scrunchies, denim overalls, and floral hats — she’s currently starring as a party-girl-turned-stepmom on Nickelodeon’s Instant Mom and she’s the host of Tia Mowry at Home, a new show on the Cooking Channel. But her proudest role to date is mom — the married mother-of-one has a 4-year-old son Cree with husband Cory Hardrict. “ I love making Rice Krispie treats for Cree,” Tia tells Yahoo Parenting. In an exclusive interview, Tia talks sleep training, pregnancy after endometriosis, and why she and Tamera escaped the child star curse. STORY: Candace Cameron Bure: ‘I Want My Husband to Lead’Child stars don’t always have longevity. Why do you think you and Tamera are still successful? People say child stars have a hard time ‘because of the entertainment business’ but I think there’s a dysfunction before all that. I use the analogy, ‘If you’re a fool without money, you’ll be a fool with money.’"

"text": "The Top Six Football-related TV Shows on Netflix Instant Author Craig Date January 22, 2012 Comments: Leave a comment Football is front and center in American popular culture. It stands to reason then, that football is front and center in a number of popular TV shows, whether directly or indirectly. Below are the six best TV shows related to American football that are available for streaming on Netflix. Dhani Tackles the Globe Follow Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Dhani Jones as he travels the world, exploring different cultures and testing his mettle in regional sports such as Muay Thai fighting in Thailand, rugby in England and dragon-boat racing in Singapore. In addition to profiling other countries’ national pastimes, this jet-setting Travel Channel series also spotlights noteworthy restaurants, shops, hotels and customs. The Game Medical student Melanie Barnett (Tia Mowry) gives up a promising future as a doctor to follow her boyfriend, Derwin Davis (Pooch Hall), as he starts his pro football career with the San Diego Sabers. Out of her element, Melanie must find her place within the high-powered world of professional sports. Refusing to become a trophy wife, she pursues her passions while getting to know various other personalities who orbit the team. Married… with Children Ushering in a new era of family sitcoms, the raucous Bundy clan — shoe-selling cretin Al, impressively coiffed wife Peggy and their kids: quintessential dumb blonde Kelly and hormonally turbocharged Bud — ruled the airwaves for 10 years. Pushing the boundaries of good taste and raking in multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for its efforts, the irreverent series proved to legions of fans that with lowbrow humor comes high entertainment value."

"text": "Tamera Mowry-Housley Excited To Play Parent For First Time In Career In Christmas Movie August 2, 2012 1:08 PM PDTTamera Mowry-Housley crossed a new career milestone with GMC television movie, “Christmas Angel,” premiering later this year – her first time portraying a parent on screen. “It was my first time playing a mom,” the pregnant actress said on Thursday as she promoted the project, in which she co-stars alongside Della Reese, Teri Polo and Kevin Sorbo, at GMC’s portion of the Television Critics Association summer tour in Beverly Hills. Tamera said shooting the project, which she did while just four months along, actually helped give her a look into her future as a mom. “It was just so much fun because I kind of got to see what I’m gonna be going through, well in 10 years,” Tamera, whose first child – a son – is due in October, added. The actress said she is looking forward to watching the movie with her family when it premieres in December. “I know with my family, every Christmas, it’s a tradition for us to just get together [and watch a Christmas movie],” she said. “ I can’t wait to share this one with my family — my son will be born then — and my mom and my dad. ”Tamera was shooting her reality show with sister Tia-- “Tia & Tamera” — at the same time she was shooting the Christmas movie. “I haven’t seen it, where will I find it?” Della, a former star of “Touched by An Angel,” asked Tamera when her reality show was brought up by a reporter."

As of 1-18-2016, all of the phone numbers and website links you see here should work as advertised. If any US or non-US AOL phone numbers no longer work or if dedicated phone lines for certain departments suddenly reroute to general numbers, or if you find more phone numbers and addresses for AOL that are not listed here, please let me know.

"text": "by Ryan Guina21 Comments Share Tweet How Military Members Can Get Out of a Cell Phone Contract If you are like me, you probably don’t like being stuck in a cell phone contract, even if you do have a military discount for your cell phone plan. Unfortunately, canceling your cell phone contract often comes with an Early Termination Fee (ETF) that can run as high as $200 (or more)!The good news is there are ways to get out of your contract without paying any fees. If you are a military member, there are a few extra clauses that allow you to cancel your cell phone contract without paying any early termination fees. Cancel Your Cell Phone Contract When You PCSOne way to cancel your cell phone contract without early termination fees is when you PCS. You won’t be able to do this every time, but you should be able to cancel your contract if you PCS to a location where your current cell phone provider doesn’t have service, or if you PCS overseas. Be sure to show the cell phone provider a copy of your military ID card and a copy of your orders. I’ve read about some cell phone providers trying to force military members to continue paying their contracts even when the PCS overseas, but you should insist that they allow you out of the contract. It’s the Law: A servicemember may terminate a contract described in subsection (b) at any time after the date the servicemember receives military orders to relocate for a period of not less than 90 days to a location that does not support the contract. ( source: 50 U. S. Code § 3956 – Termination of telephone service contracts ). Contact your base legal office or JAG for assistance if your cell phone provider won’t allow you out of your contract."

It can also protect you from identity theft and fraud. Cancel Credit Cards The deceased’s wallet should contain all of the credit cards in his or her name. Call the number of the credit card company on the back of the card to cancel the card. While you may be able to cancel the card without giving any reason, you should be prepared to provide the deceased’s name, Social Security Number, and the reason you are canceling the card. Be aware that by canceling a credit card you may be simultaneously canceling any services or subscriptions associated with that card. Any money that is owed on the credit card should be paid before the card is canceled. To learn more about paying bills after a death, see our article Paying Final Bills, Dues, And Estate Expenses."

Should You Avoid Garcinia Cambogia Free Trial Offers?407Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter What Is A Free Trial Of Garcinia? Here's most of what you need to know about how to choose wisely when buying the world's number one weight loss extract, garcinia cambogia. Let's state the very basics in that not every free trial offer or ‘try before you buy' sample package you see is created equally. Should you avoid them all together? Well, some would say it is a great way to sample and use on autopilot methodology – and others, troubled headache-laden stories of changing their mind and not wanting the product afterall. Garcinia cambogia has been the most sought out diet pill ingredient in the last 3 years with no signs of slowing down other than the fast rise of forskolin. You can pinpoint the popularity of Garcinia cambogia to one specific date: in November 2012, Dr. Oz called Garcinia cambogia a miracle weight loss ingredient. Ever since, diet pill manufacturers around the world have sold thousands of Garcinia Cambogia pills. For good cause right?"

He voluntarily stepped down from these and other positions by a series of abdications between 1554 and 1556. Through inheritance, he brought together under his rule extensive territories in western, central, and southern Europe, and the Spanish viceroyalties in the Americas and Asia. As a result, his domains spanned nearly 4 million square kilometres (1.5 million square miles) [3] and were the first to be described as \"\" the empire on which the sun never sets \"\". [ 4]Charles was the heir of three of Europe's leading dynasties: the Houses of Valois-Burgundy (through his paternal grandmother ), Habsburg, and Trastámara (his maternal grandparents were the Catholic Monarchs of Spain). Upon the death of her mother Queen Isabella I of Castile in 1504, Charles's mother Joanna inherited the kingdom of Castile. She was mentally insane and held little real power, with her father, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, and (briefly) her husband and co-ruler, Philip, Charles's father, serving as regents. Upon the death of Ferdinand V in 1516, Charles and Joanna ruled both Castile and Aragon together, although Joanna remained in confinement. Charles inherited the Netherlands and the Free County of Burgundy as heir of the House of Valois-Burgundy. As a Habsburg, he inherited Austria and other lands in central Europe."

Spain was officially allied with France at the time of the French invasion, but for some time Napoleon had been dissatisfied with the performance of his ally, especially after the Spanish fleet was destroyed at Trafalgar, and was known to have said that a Bourbon Spain was too week as an ally but potentially a dangerous enemy. Napoleon’s suspicions had been raised during the Jena campaign of 1806, when the Spanish government had issued a proclamation calling on the people to unite against an unnamed enemy, widely assumed to be France. In the aftermath of Napoleon’s victory at Jena the proclamation had been withdrawn, but the damage was done. Spain in 1808 was ruled by Charles IV, the last surviving Bourbon king in Europe. He was widely considered to be an imbecile who was entirely dominated by his wife Maria Luisa and her favourite, Don Manuel Godoy. Charles had denied any role during the reign of his father Charles III, and had come to the throne at the age of 40. At first power was held by the queen, but within a few years Godoy had risen from the ranks (he was a private in the royal bodyguard, and a minor nobleman) to the status of prime minister. After negotiating the peace of Basle, which ended the Franco-Spanish War of 1793-1795, he had been awarded with the title of Prince of the Peace. Godoy was corrupt and ambitious but ineffective, although he was also moderately progressive, a supporter of vaccination and an opponent of the Inquisition."

Having a forum user as Pope has been a long tradition. For most of the thread's existence, the first poster at the top of a newpage has been given the title of Pope or Mome. With the title comes the ability to make one optional decree for that page of the thread, that other users are welcome to follow. The large table below shows which users have been pagepopes, and what (if anything) they decreed. Clarification Edit For the purposes of this page, only the popes and momes who appeared at the top of newpages will be included. ( There was briefly a splinter sect that regarded the \"\"goat\"\" or last poster of the page as the retro-pope for that newpage, as well as an early tradition of passing on the title if the top poster had been pope recently. ) Understanding this Table Edit Newpages without an identifiable pope are generally unlisted. ( If a pagepope notes they are pope but fails to make a decree, it counts as Notification; if a pagepope specifically states they are not making a decree, it counts as Abdication.)

A staged photograph of George VI, whose real name was Albert, announcing the declaration of war to the nation in September 1939 Photo: Hulton-Deutsch Collection/CORBISBy PA6:37PM BST 24 Jul 2013The world had eagerly waited for the Duke and Duchess to announce the boy's name, but historically monarchs do not always rule under their first given name. The last king - George VI - was actually called Albert and known to his family as ''Bertie''. But he ruled under his fourth middle name George in honour of his father George V and to symbolise the continuation of the monarchy after the scandal caused by the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. Queen Victoria was actually named Alexandrina Victoria and as a child was nicknamed Drina, but ruled as Victoria which she is said to have preferred. Her mother had wanted to call her Georgiana Charlotte Augusta Alexandrina Victoria, but was overruled by the Prince Regent, the future George IV, who dictated that she be called Alexandrina Victoria in respect to the Russian Tsar Alexander I.

But in the UK, those who decided to rule under a different name picked one of their middle names. Mr Warwick said of William and Kate's newborn son: ''There's a chance that if and when he becomes King he might choose one of his other names - it depends on the name he's given. '' He added: ''George VI chose George first of all as a definite tribute to his father. But with the abdication, George VI said he had to 'save this rocking throne'."

The Treaty of 1763 The Treaty of Paris of Feb. 10, 1763, was signed by Great Britain, France, and Spain. Together with the treaty of Hubertusburg, it terminated the Seven Years War. France lost its possessions on the North American continent by ceding Canada and all its territories east of the Mississippi to Great Britain, and by ceding W Louisiana to its ally, Spain, in compensation for Florida, which Spain yielded to Great Britain. France retained the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon and recovered Guadeloupe and Martinique in the West Indies from Great Britain, in exchange for which it ceded Grenada and the Grenadines to the English. In East India the French were permitted to return to their posts, but they were forbidden to maintain troops or build forts in Bengal; India thus virtually passed to Great Britain. In Africa France yielded Senegal to Great Britain. Cuba and the Philippines were restored to Spain. In Europe the French and Spanish returned Minorca to Great Britain, and France withdrew its troops from Germany. From this treaty dated the colonial and maritime supremacy of Great Britain."

The Paris agreement commits the US and 187 other countries to keeping rising global temperatures \"\"well below\"\" 2C above pre-industrial levels and \"\"endeavour to limit\"\" them even more, to 1.5C.

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden, Mr Trump characterised the Paris agreement as a deal that aimed to hobble, disadvantage and impoverish the US. He claimed the agreement would cost the US $3tn in lost GDP and 6.5 million jobs - while rival economies like China and India were treated more favourably. \"\" In order to fulfil my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord... but begin negotiations to re-enter either the Paris accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States,\"\" he said.

Juan Carlos is the grandson of Alfonso XIII, the last king of Spain before the abolition of the monarchy in 1931 and the subsequent declaration of the Second Spanish Republic. Juan Carlos was born in Rome, Italy, during his family's exile. Generalísimo Francisco Franco, the Spanish dictator, took over the government of Spain after his victory in the Spanish Civil War in 1939, and in 1947 Spain's status as a monarchy was affirmed and a law was passed allowing Franco to choose his successor. Juan Carlos's father, Juan, was the fourth child of Alfonso, who had renounced his claims to the throne in January 1941. Juan was seen by Franco to be too liberal and in 1969 was bypassed in favour of Juan Carlos as Franco's successor and next head of state. [ 3]Juan Carlos spent his early years in Italy and came to Spain in 1947 to continue his studies. After completing his secondary education in 1955, he began his military training and entered the General Military Academy at Zaragoza."

Even if you are not concerned with moral issues, then pamper your intellectual curiosity and read the Qur’aan. The greater the level of your education, in any field, or the greater your social or political standing in your community, the more reason why you should procure your own copy of the Book and begin to read it”. “ Nothing, but nothing, is left ambiguous or unanswered.

Another King Thinks Charles’ Mum Should Abdicate The Throne World News Heather Tooley The question has been asked multiple times: Will Prince Charles become king of England because his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, abdicates the British throne? This topic is reignited after King Juan Carlos of Spain stepped down as king so his son wouldn’t “grow old waiting for the throne like Prince Charles. ”In a report published by The Telegraph, the 76-year-old monarch thinks its time for young blood to take over. King Juan Carlos is abdicating his role as king to his son, Crown Prince Felipe, 46. The prince will be crowned as King Felipe VI in a relatively low-key ceremony on June 19 after Spain’s parliament approves Juan Carlos’ abdication. The king based his decision from what he sees in Prince Charles’ situation. England’s prince is 65-years-old and is the oldest male heir to the British throne in history. The chief of the royal household, Rafael Spottorno, says King Juan Carlos told him this:“I do not want my son to wither waiting like Prince Charles. ”And adds:“He saw, above all, that his son was in his prime and didn’t want to see him like Prince Charles who will be 66 years old in November."

The then Edward VIII had acceded to the throne at the death of his father, George V, on 20th January 1936 and was now King of the United Kingdom. It was reported that, during his life, George V had said, “when I am dead, that boy will ruin himself within twelve months”. He was right. Less than twelve months into his reign, Edward VIII was to abdicate to marry his twice-divorced American lover, Wallis Simpson, whom he had not been allowed to marry whilst on the throne as it would have compromised his position as Head of the Church of England. Edward had long been expected to pick a suitable bride, yet his temperament did not suit such a requirement. Edward though Wallis was exciting and wanted to make her Queen – he couldn’t. On 11 December 1936, Edward abdicated and his brother, Prince Albert, who became George VI, acceded to the throne."

"text": "Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (Screening/Follow-up)What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm? First, let us understand what is the aorta. The aorta is the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. It is about the size of a 3/4 inch to 1 inch garden hose and runs from your heart down through the center of your chest and abdomen and then divides and goes to each leg. In short, the aorta is the body’s main supplier of blood. So what is an aneurysm? An aneurysm is a weakened and bulging area in an artery which in this case an abdominal aortic aneurysm occurs when the wall of the aorta becomes weak and bulges out in the part of the aorta that passes through the abdomen. This bulge is like on an old-timey tire where it bulges out in one area and may blow out. How serious is an abdominal aortic aneurysm? Because the aorta is the body’s main supplier of blood, a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding."

The abdominal aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body and the main artery that originates in the heart. As the lining weakens from age and other risk factors, the vessel wall thins and expands.

"text": "Overview While an abdominal aortic aneurysm can be fatal if it ruptures, the good news is that there’s an effective treatment to prevent that from happening. By understanding the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options, you can be prepared to take action quickly if needed. Definition The aorta is the body's major blood vessel. It runs from your heart, through your chest, and to your abdomen where it divides to supply blood to your legs. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a blood-filled bulge or ballooning in a part of your aorta that runs through your abdomen. Over time, this bulge in your aorta can become weak, and the force of normal blood pressure can cause it to rupture. This can lead to severe pain and massive internal bleeding, or hemorrhage. Causes It is not known what exactly causes an abdominal aneurysm in some people. The ballooning may be caused by a weakness in the wall of the aorta where it has become inflamed. Some doctors believe that this inflammation may be due to clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), but it may also be related to heredity, injury, or other diseases."

The aorta is the major blood vessel that feeds blood to the body. A thoracic aortic aneurysm may also be called thoracic aneurysm and aortic dissection (TAAD) because an aneurysm can lead to a tear in the artery wall (dissection) that can cause life-threatening bleeding. Small and slow-growing thoracic aortic aneurysms may not ever rupture, but large, fast-growing aneurysms may rupture. Depending on the cause, size and growth rate of your thoracic aortic aneurysm, treatment may vary from watchful waiting to emergency surgery. Ideally, surgery for a thoracic aortic aneurysm can be planned if necessary. Symptoms Thoracic aortic aneurysms often grow slowly and usually without symptoms, making them difficult to detect. Some aneurysms will never rupture. Many start small and stay small, although many expand over time. How quickly an aortic aneurysm may grow is difficult to predict."

Aneurysms can form in arteries of all sizes. An aneurysm occurs when the pressure of blood passing through part of a weakened artery forces the vessel to bulge outward, forming what you might think of as a blister. Not all aneurysms are life-threatening. But if the bulging stretches the artery too far, this vessel may burst, causing a person to bleed to death. An aneurysm that bleeds into the brain can lead to stroke or death. Aortic dissection occurs when the layers of the wall of the aorta separate or are torn, allowing blood to flow between those layers and causing them to separate further. When the aortic wall separates, blood cannot flow freely, and the aortic wall may burst. Where do aneurysms occur? In the arteries that supply blood to the brain."

Aortic aneurysms resulted in about 152,000 deaths worldwide in 2013, up from 100,000 in 1990.

"text": "Your aorta is a tube-like structure that resembles a candy cane. The thoracoabdominal aorta starts after the curve of the cane and extends past the arteries that deliver blood to the stomach, intestines and kidneys. An aneurysm refers to ballooning out of the aorta which causes aortic wall weakening. The aortic wall may continue to further expand or remain unchanged, but close surveillance is necessary. As the aortic wall weakens, there is a risk of the wall tearing or dissecting.credit: Scott Weldon Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

"text": "Print Diagnosis Thoracic aortic aneurysms are often found during routine medical tests, such as a chest X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound of the heart or abdomen, sometimes ordered for a different reason. If your doctor suspects that you have an aortic aneurysm, specialized tests can confirm it. These tests might include: Chest X-ray Your doctor may first suspect you have a thoracic aortic aneurysm by looking at chest X-ray images. Your doctor may discover a thoracic aortic aneurysm on X-ray images ordered to check for another condition. Echocardiogram Thoracic aortic aneurysms may be diagnosed by echocardiogram, and this technique is often used to screen family members of those with thoracic aortic aneurysm. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to capture real-time images of your heart and the ascending aorta. Echocardiograms show how well your heart chambers and valves are working. Occasionally, to better see your aorta, your doctor may recommend a transesophageal echocardiogram — in which the sound waves are generated from within your body by a device threaded down your esophagus. Computerized tomography (CT) scan This painless test can provide your doctor with clear images of your aorta, and it can detect the size and shape of an aneurysm. During a CT scan, you lie on a table inside a doughnut-shaped X-ray machine."

"text": "What is Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms? Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are caused by progressive weakening of the aortic wall creating a “ballooning” of the vessel. The aneurysm will grow larger and eventually rupture if it is not diagnosed and treated. Aneurysms occur most often in the aorta, the main artery of the chest and abdomen. The aorta carries blood from the heart to all parts of the body including the vital organs and the legs and feet. Symptoms In most cases, there are no major symptoms for AAA. Occasionally, patients may feel abdominal, back or side pain. 75% of the aneurysms that are discovered are detected from diagnostic tests (such as x-rays) that were given for other health problems. Individuals may also feel a coldness, numbness or tingling in their feet and hands. A ruptured aneurysm is an emergency and procedures must take place immediately to save one’s life and avoid serious complications."

"text": "\"CTSurgery Patients.org Administration An aortic aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of the aorta, which causes it to “balloon” or expand in size. Although an aneurysm can develop anywhere along the aorta, most occur in the section running through the abdomen (abdominal aneurysms). Others occur in the section that runs through the chest (thoracic aneurysms). Aneurysms are often found incidentally during evaluation of other problems since they commonly cause no pain or discomfort. They can silently enlarge for long periods of time without being identified. When the aneurysm gets too large, the wall of the blood vessel can split or tear (aortic dissection/dissecting aortic aneurysm) or even “burst” under the pressure (aortic rupture/ruptured aortic aneurysm). This content originally appeared online in \"\"The Patient Guide to Heart, Lung, and Esophageal Surgery\"\" from the Society of Thoracic Surgery. David W. Drucker, MD on behalf of St. Mary Medical Center Cardiology (Cardiovascular Disease)Aortic aneurysms are part of the spectrum of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). An aneurysm occurs when cholesterol deposits cause a weakening of the blood vessel wall, which causes an enlargement. The majority of aortic aneurysms are completely without symptoms -- about 75 percent of patients who have aneurysms have no symptoms at all."

The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. An aortic aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of the aorta. Over time, the blood vessel balloons and is at risk for bursting (rupture) or separating (dissection). This can cause life threatening bleeding and potentially death. \"\" Thoracic\"\" refers to the part of the aorta that runs through the chest (thoracic aortic aneurysm). Aneurysms occur more often in the portion of the aorta that runs through the abdomen (abdominal aortic aneurysm). Once formed, an aneurysm will gradually increase in size and get progressively weaker. Treatment for a thoracic aneurysm may include surgical repair or removal of the aneurysm, or inserting a metal mesh coil (stent) to support the blood vessel and prevent rupture."

Emergency bedside ultrasound (shown) can quickly and accurately identify an abdominal aortic aneurysm when performed by appropriately trained emergency medicine providers. A focal dilatation in an artery, with at least a 50% increase of its normal diameter, is defined as an aneurysm. An enlargement of >3 cm of the abdominal aorta, even if asymptomatic, is considered to be an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Abdominal aortic aneurysms usually result from degeneration in the media of the arterial wall, leading to a slow and continuous dilatation of the lumen of the vessel. [ 1]Abdominal aortic aneurysms (arrow) are relatively common, potentially life-threatening, and usually asymptomatic until they expand or rupture. Predisposing risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysm include smoking, age (more common after the sixth decade), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, moderate alcohol consumption (>2 drinks per day), gender (10 times more likely in men), positive family history, and congenital disorders (eg, Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes). Approximately 90% occur infrarenally, but they can also occur pararenally or suprarenally."

"text": "Abdominal Bloating and Food Poisoningby DIANE MARKS Aug. 14, 2017Every year, about 1 in 6 people in the U. S. experience food poisoning, or foodborne illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Foodborne illness occurs when you ingest a food or beverage contaminated with toxins or illness-causing pathogens such as bacteria, viruses or parasites. Abdominal bloating can be a symptom of food poisoning, however bloating can also be a new symptom that starts after recovery from a gastrointestinal infection. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Food Poisoning and Bloating While vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration are the typical and more severe indicators of foodborne illness, bloating is a potential symptom that may cause a significant amount of pain and discomfort. Abdominal bloating, which is a sense of gassiness or distension, is typically caused by large meals, swallowed air or extra gas that is made by gut bacteria and incompletely digested foods. Bloating from food poisoning can also be related to excessive gas production in the intestines -- caused by chemical reactions related to the foodborne illness. Post-Infection Food Intolerance Abdominal bloating can also develop after recovery from an infection such as foodborne illness. An article published in the December 2014 issue of “Paediatrics and Child Health” noted how children suffering from diarrhea may temporarily stop producing lactase, the digestive enzyme that breaks down lactose, a milk sugar. An absence of lactase will cause lactose intolerance -- which can lead to diarrhea, stomach cramps and bloating. An intolerance to gluten, a component of wheat, barley and rye, may also occur after a viral or bacterial gastrointestinal infection, according to an article published in the winter 2015 issue of “Gastroenterology and Hepatology.”"

"text": "Bowel Problems ~ Symptoms Diagnosis by a Doctor Posted by Jan Modric Tweet Introduction to Diagnosis of Bowel Problems Evaluation of a patient with a bowel disease begins with careful history and physical examination. Subsequent investigation is indicated in selected cases only. Some patients have normal findings on diagnostic testing, so a diagnosis of a functional bowel problem or IBS is often given to them. History Symptoms of short duration are generally due to acute infection, intoxication, sudden inflammation, impaired circulation ( ischemia ), food poisoning, and so on. Symptoms of long duration are generally due to chronic inflammation, cancer or a functional bowel disorder. If symptoms are worsened by meal, they may arise from stomach ulcer, mechanical obstruction, ischemia, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rapid stomach emptying, food allergy , mal-absorption, irritation by food or stress (in irritable bowel syndrome – IBS ). If symptoms are relieved by meal or antacids they are probably due to duodenal ulcer. An exaggerated gastro-colic reflex ( bowel movement immediately after eating ) may be due to IBS or IBD; defecation relieves discomfort in both. Functional bowel disorders are aggravated by stress, and sudden awakening from sound sleep suggests organic disease. Diarrhea from mal-absorption generally improves with fasting, but secretory diarrhea persists even during fasting."

[ 1] It is typically a symptom of an underlying disease or dysfunction in the body, rather than an illness in its own right. People suffering from this condition often describe it as \"\"feeling bloated \"\". Sufferers often experience a sensation of fullness, abdominal pressure and possibly nausea, pain or cramping. In the most extreme cases, upward pressure on the diaphragm and lungs can also cause shortness of breath. Through a variety of causes (see below), bloating is most commonly due to buildup of gas in the stomach, small intestine or colon. The pressure sensation is often relieved, or at least lessened, by burping ( belching) or farting ( flatulence )."

"text": "Causes of Bloating and Gas (Flatulence)Posted by Dr. Greg Tweet Bloating Bloating is a sensation of ‘fullness’ and tightness within the abdomen. It may be accompanied by swelling of the abdomen (distension). Bloating due to the build up of gas within the gastrointestinal tract will often be relieved by belching or flatulence. Bloating should be differentiated from angina pectoris and myocardial infarction which are two cardiac conditions that may not always result in pain but can be fatal. Obesity and Pregnancy Persistent bloating should be investigated as the cause may not be related to gas or the digestive processes. Obesity often results in lax abdominal muscles with a superficial layer of fat tissue that contributes to abdominal distension. Pregnancy causes an increased abdominal diameter as the growing fetus expands within the abdominoperineal cavity. The expanding uterus may compress the organs of digestion thereby contributing to the sensation of bloating. This form of distension is considered a medical norm and is not indicative of any underlying pathology. Ascites Swelling is often incorrectly thought to be abdominal distension due to fluid while bloating is ascribed to gas build up."

"text": "Lower Abdominal Pain in Women: Causes, and Effective Home Treatments By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health Lower abdominal pain is more common among women than men. Very often, cramping feelings below the belly button, pain in the pelvic area, or lower back pain are caused by a woman’s menstrual cycle. Women are also more prone to developing infections in the bladder, urinary tract and kidneys, and inflammation in these organs can be another source of female lower abdominal pain. Diagnosing the exact cause of lower abdominal pain in women can be a challenge. The abdominal area in women has most of the reproductive organs and these can become irritated during your monthly cycle. Sometimes, the pain can occur directly in the lower abdominal area and can range in intensity from a mild ache to sharp, stabbing pains. However, very often pain radiating from the lower back, having kidney stones, or even having a heart attack can cause a painful lower abdomen and pelvic cramping. Advertisement In most cases, a heat pack can help to ease the pressure in the lower abdomen and help get rid of the pain that female lower abdominal pain causes. Even in cases of abdominal pain that need medical attention, warmth can help to reduce irritation and relieve painful symptoms of pelvic and abdominal cramping. In this article, you will find out the many causes of lower abdominal pain and lower back pain affecting women."

This symptom, however, is woefully nonspecific -- meaning it occurs with a broad array of conditions that range from mild to life-threatening. Doctors narrow the list of possible causes by considering the location of the pain. Left upper quadrant (LUQ) pain can occur with many conditions affecting a variety of organs, including the stomach, colon, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, lungs and heart. The timing and nature of the pain, accompanying symptoms, physical findings, and laboratory and imaging test results help the medical provider home in on the likely cause.

Unless fibroids are causing excessive bleeding, discomfort or bladder problems, treatment usually isn't necessary. If you have fibroids, you should be evaluated periodically to review symptoms, and to monitor the fibroid and uterus size with abdominal and pelvic examinations. If you don't have symptoms, routine pelvic ultrasounds have very little benefit. Fibroids are likely to grow each year until menopause, but this isn't an indication that you need treatment, unless the change is accompanied by disabling symptoms. The following are treatment options for fibroids: Medications Currently, the medications available for fibroids can temporarily improve symptoms but do not make the fibroids go away. For women with heavy bleeding, it is worth trying medication before undergoing a surgical procedure. Women with pressure symptoms caused by large fibroids won't benefit from any medicines currently available. There are several promising new drugs on the horizon that will treat the fibroids themselves, not just the symptoms. Contraceptive Pills and Progestational Agents Women with heavy menstrual periods and fibroids are often prescribed hormonal medications to try to reduce bleeding and regulate the menstrual cycle."

Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, meaning it is a problem caused by changes in how the GI tract works. Children with a functional GI disorder have frequent symptoms, but the GI tract does not become damaged. IBS is not a disease; it is a group of symptoms that occur together. The most common symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort, often reported as cramping, along with diarrhea, constipation, or both. In the past, IBS was called colitis, mucous colitis, spastic colon, nervous colon, and spastic bowel. The name was changed to reflect the understanding that the disorder has both physical and mental causes and is not a product of a person’s imagination. IBS is diagnosed when a child who is growing as expected has abdominal pain or discomfort once per week for at least 2 months without other disease or injury that could explain the pain. The pain or discomfort of IBS may occur with a change in stool frequency or consistency or may be relieved by a bowel movement. What is the GI tract?"

Describe the basic embryologic and anatomic features of the urachus.•. Identify the four types of congenital urachal anomalies and their CT and US features.•. Recognize the manifestations of an infected urachal remnant versus urachal carcinoma at CT and US. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext The urachus, or median umbilical ligament, is a midline tubular structure that extends upward from the anterior dome of the bladder toward the umbilicus. It is a vestigial remnant of at least two embryonic structures: the cloaca, which is the cephalic extension of the urogenital sinus (a precursor of the fetal bladder), and the allantois, which is a derivative of the yolk sac ( 1 ). The tubular urachus normally involutes before birth, remaining as a fibrous band with no known function. However, persistence of an embryonic urachal remnant can give rise to various clinical problems, not only in infants and children but also in adults. Because urachal remnant diseases are uncommon and manifest with nonspecific abdominal or urinary signs and symptoms, definitive presurgical diagnosis is not easily made. Various abnormalities can be confusing unless one is familiar with the basic embryologic anatomy and imaging features of the subumbilical and prevesical region. Because computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) display cross-sectional images and the urachus in the anterior abdominal wall is located away from interfering intestinal structures, these modalities are ideally suited for demonstrating urachal anomalies ( 2 – 5 ). In this article, we review the embryologic and anatomic features of the urachus. We also discuss and illustrate the spectrum of CT and US findings in both congenital urachal anomalies (patent urachus, umbilical-urachal sinus, vesicourachal diverticulum, urachal cyst) and acquired urachal remnant diseases (infection, neoplasm)."

"text": "Causes of Chronic (Prolonged, Persistent, Constant) Diarrhea Posted by Jan Modric Tweet Diarrhea is a common digestive symptom that affects every person at some point in life. It may occur several times in a year. Usually diarrhea is acute meaning that it lasts for a short period of time but tends to be severe. Acute diarrhea usually lasts for only a few days and often resolves on its own. However, there are instances where diarrhea persists and this may be referred to as chronic diarrhea. Definition of Chronic Diarrhea Diarrhea ( loose bowel movements) is considered as chronic when it lasts for more than 2 weeks ( 1 ). It is important to understand what the term diarrhea means, whether it is acute or chronic. Diarrhea is defined as having more than three bowel movements in a 24 hour period where the stool is of a liquid or watery consistency. Another definition is the passing of more than 200g (grams) or 200m L (milliliters) within a 24 hour period. Therefore chronic diarrhea is the passage of watery stools in more than three bowel movements within 24 hours that extends for more than two weeks."

Fibroids are growths that develop in the uterus. These growths have characteristic symptoms such as feeling that the stomach is full, abdominal swelling, constipation, and experiencing pain during sex. In addition, the woman can also suffer from bleeding from the vagina, experience pressure in the lower portion of the abdomen, have the need to urinate frequently and experience heavy bleeding during her periods. Unfortunately, till today, doctors and researchers have not been able to find out the cause for fibroids.

Basically it refers to pain that is felt within the abdomen which is the region of the body bounded by the ribs superiorly and the pelvis below. The image to the right displays a lady holding her lower abdomen in an attempt to relieve her pain. Abdominal pain may be a feature of numerous medical and surgical conditions and arise from organs within or adjacent to the abdominal cavity. In most cases it will be caused by something benign (not serious) but it important that it gets evaluated by a doctor to exclude sinister conditions that require urgent medical attention. Doctors diagnose the cause based on the features of the pain (location, duration, and other symptoms), physical examination and a number of diagnostic tests. Identifying the cause is particularly challenging as signs and symptoms may be non-specific, investigations are not always abnormal, different causes can mimic each other, and characteristics of the pain may change over time. Definition Abdominal pain in simple terms refers to pain that is felt in the abdomen (the anatomical region bounded by the ribs superiorly and the pelvis inferiorly). Abdominal pain is a challenging complaint for physicians as there are numerous possible causes some of which are benign and some that are potentially serious and possibly life-threatening.

Mabry, MD, FACS, Mark Savarise, MD, MBA, FACS and Christopher Senkowski, MD, FACS PUBLISHED August 1, 2013 • Print-Friendly The American College of Surgeons (ACS) General Surgery Coding and Reimbursement Committee (GSCRC) frequently receives questions regarding appropriate coding for “damage-control laparotomy” or “damage-control surgery.” Damage-control surgery typically involves a multistage approach and is performed with the intention to first avoid or correct the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy before definitive management of injuries. The general concept is the expedient control of life-threatening bleeding and contamination, usually terminated as soon as possible in order for the patient to undergo correction of physiologic abnormalities due to hemorrhagic shock or sepsis. Subsequent stages of surgery address definitive management when the patient is stable and able to undergo more prolonged procedures. Initially developed by the military and major trauma centers, the concept of damage-control surgery is now widely accepted and may be applied to the chest, abdomen, or extremities. In the initial stage of damage control, hemorrhage is stopped, contamination is controlled, and temporary wound closure methods may be employed. Vascular control may include ligating bleeding vessels, oversewing mesentery or organ injury, packing of the abdomen or chest, and even placing vascular shunts without definitive repair of blood vessels. For gastrointestinal contamination, the bowel is resected or lacerations oversewn. Restoration of bowel continuity (anastomosis) or maturation of an ostomy is performed at a later stage. The resuscitation phase is characterized by correction of physiologic abnormalities (metabolic acidosis, anemia, coagulopathy) and volume replacement, as well as provision of ventilation and vasopressor support."

There are many types of hernias and they can occur at numerous anatomical sites including several different areas of the abdominal wall (umbilical, inguinal, and ventral just to name a few), to areas of the diaphragm, to hernias related to internal anatomy (e.g. internal hernia after gastric bypass surgery). In addition to anatomic site variation, hernias range from simple first-time occurrences to those that have re-occurred once or several times and thus require a more extensive analysis of why this may have happened and subsequent planning for risk-factor reduction through an individualized plan for subsequent repair. A hernia is the defect, or hole, through which another structure starts to push through. The hernia is NOT the bulge itself, but rather the gap through which something else is bulging outward or into a space where it does not belong. Hernia meshes are generally similar to mosquito net, but are sterile and more highly engineered to help provide mechanical reinforcement of tissue. Since a hernia is a defect, not an actual structure itself, repairing the hole often requires a patch, or piece of mesh, in order to close the gap and restore the natural integrity of the tissue layers. Sometimes small hernias can be repaired by simply sewing the edges of the hole together, but this only applies to very small hernia defects. For most hernias, a patch is required; experience has shown that repairing a large hernia defect without mesh leads to excessive tension on the tissues, which in turn leads to a guaranteed recurrence of the hernia over time. Modern Day Hernia Repair is A Complex Algorithm Hernia repair surgery is one of the most complex and rapidly advancing areas known in Surgery today, and is rapidly becoming a sub-specialty of General surgery, similar to how Vascular, Breast, and Colorectal Surgery have become separate branches of General Surgery because of the level of expertise and multi-disciplinary approach required for good outcomes."

This research paper will present in detail and explain abdominal aortic aneurysms by including the answers to the following questions: What is an abdominal aortic aneurysm? What are the symptoms of an aneurysm? What are the lab values associated with aneurysms? What imaging diagnosis is relevant to aneurysms? What is the treatment and prognosis for an aneurysm? After answering these questions regarding abdominal aortic aneurysms and specifically fusiform and saccular types, the reader will have a better understanding of what is involved with aneurysms and how this disease is represented in diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic tests.

It originally aired from October 17, 2012 to January 23, 2013. The premise of the second season marked a departure from that of the series' first season, featuring all new characters and a new location, thus marking American Horror Story as an anthology series at the time. The season begins in 1964 at the fictional mental institution, Briarcliff Manor, following the stories of the staff and inmates who occupy it, and intercuts with events in the past and present. Returning cast members from the previous season of the series include: Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Jessica Lange, Dylan Mc Dermott, and Frances Conroy, along with new cast members Joseph Fiennes, Lizzie Brocheré, and James Cromwell. Like its predecessor, Asylum was well received by television critics and fans, though they noted numerous plot holes and inconsistencies. The performances of Jessica Lange, James Cromwell, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, and Lily Rabe were particularly praised. The season garnered seventeen Primetime Emmy Award nominations, more than any other show, including Outstanding Miniseries or Movie and four acting nominations for Lange, Paulson, Cromwell, and Quinto, with Cromwell winning for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie. In addition, Quinto and Paulson won their respective supporting categories at the 3rd Critics' Choice Television Awards."

The parents' guide to what's in this movie. Positive messages Positive role models & representations Violence Sex Language Consumerism Drinking, drugs & smoking What parents need to know Parents need to know that The Shack is based on author William P. Young's best-selling (but controversial) faith-based book. Mack Phillips ( Sam Worthington) doubts the existence of God after his daughter is kidnapped and killed, but he ends up having a life-changing experience: He spends the weekend with the Holy Trinity, as personified by three people (including Octavia Spencer ). There's no iffy language, drinking/smoking, or sex, but there are some disturbing scenes. Two children nearly drown while camping -- one requires CPR -- and a young girl goes missing and is presumed dead. The movie has inspiring messages about everything from seeking help/counsel to processing grief in a healthy way to the power of forgiveness. That said, the ideas related to God's role in people's lives will particularly resonate with Christians/those open to faith-based questions."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Abdul Razzaq ( Arabic: عبد الرزاق ) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words Abd, al- and Razzaq. The name means \"\"servant of the all-provider\"\", Ar-Razzāq being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. [ 1] [2]The letter a of the al- is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by u. Because the letter r is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to Abd al-Razzaq, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ar-Razzaq. Alternative transliterations include ‘Abd ar-Razzaq, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Razaq, Abdul Razzak and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

"text": "\"Sindh primary, junior & high school teachers' jobs Teachers' recruitment test to be conducted again Karachi, July 24, 2008: Fourteen thousand teachers will be recruited on merit in different schools of Sindh to overcome the staff shortage and strengthen the education system. This was stated by Sindh Minister for Education and Literacy Pir Mazharul Haq while addressing a news conference in his office on Wednesday. He said the posts would be advertised soon and it would be decided if tests for the job be conducted through the Institute of Business Administration, Sukkur, because of its sound reputation. The minister pointed out that a three-year agreement was reached with the World Bank under its development policy credit. The bank extended a very soft loan to the Sindh government in 2006 to be recoverable in 20 years under the deal. The loan was provided for hiring of teachers with a condition that the recruitment should be based on merit and made through a written test with passing score set as 60 per cent. The first instalment of the loan to the tune of US$100 million was released to the Sindh government, which placed an ad for the recruitment of 14,500 primary, junior and high school teachers in 2007. Around 150,000 candidates appeared in a written test, conducted by the IBA Sukkur, last year. However, he said, former chief minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim unilaterally decided to reduce the passing score from 60 per cent to 40 per cent. Mr Rahim also issued directives to this effect to the education department, the minister said, adding that when the financial institution came to know about it, the second instalment of the loan was not released."

The majority of the names are derived from vocabulary words. Islam is of course a major influence on naming practices. The multiple forms of Muhammad are extremely popular, as are the names of his family and descendents, such as Omar, Ali, Bakr and Fatima. Military leaders are often honored as well; for example Tariq and Amir. The Koran is another source of names.

"text": "\"re – Regular Expressions ¶Purpose: Searching within and changing text using formal patterns. Available In: 1.5 and later Regular expressions are text matching patterns described with a formal syntax. The patterns are interpreted as a set of instructions, which are then executed with a string as input to produce a matching subset or modified version of the original. The term “regular expressions” is frequently shortened to as “regex” or “regexp” in conversation. Expressions can include literal text matching, repetition, pattern-composition, branching, and other sophisticated rules. A large number of parsing problems are easier to solve with a regular expression than by creating a special-purpose lexer and parser. Regular expressions are typically used in applications that involve a lot of text processing. For example, they are commonly used as search patterns in text editing programs used by developers, including vi, emacs, and modern IDEs. They are also an integral part of Unix command line utilities such as sed, grep, and awk.

Capella is sometimes called the Goat Star because its name is derived from the diminutive of the Latin capra, meaning “female goat,” and means “the little goat. ”Even though it appears as a single star when observed without binoculars, Alpha Aurigae is really a star system consisting of four components, or two binary pairs of stars. The Capella system is located relatively close to Earth, at a distance of 42.2 light years or 12.9 parsecs. The stars in the system have a combined apparent magnitude of 0.08. Capella can’t be seen south of latitude 44°S, but it is circumpolar north of 44°N; it never sets below the horizon. Capella B. Image: Aladin at SIMBADIn mid-northern latitudes, the best time of year to observe Capella is in the winter evenings, when the star is almost directly overhead. In the northern hemisphere, Capella can be seen throughout the year at some time of the night."

"text": "\"Home > Medical care > Fetal Concerns Center > Conditions > Potential fetal conditions > Amniotic band syndrome Amniotic band syndrome What is amniotic band syndrome (ABS)? Amniotic band syndrome is a broad term for a group of congenital abnormalities that occur when bands of amnion (the inner lining of the amniotic sack or \"\"bag of water\"\") peel away from the sack and attach or wrap around parts of the baby's body, disrupting normal development. ABS can cause a wide range of disorders. Below is a list of some of the disorders that are the result of amniotic bands. Your physician may have used one of these names to describe the disorder he or she suspects your baby might have. Terms applied to defects that are the result of ABS: Amniotic band disruption complex and amniotic disruption complex refer to deformities of any area of the fetus. The band can wrap around a body part and stop the part from completely forming. Although the affected body part may not form completely or normally, it may still be functional. Amniochorionic meso-blastic fibrous strings and constriction ring syndrome are other terms that experts use to describe amniotic band syndrome. These terms usually refer to issues related to bands that wrap around a limb, digit or even the umbilical cord."

I have been told that it is not possible, that one parent would have to have the negative factor. I have been researching this question for some time with no good answer. I would really appreciate your help in answering this. Debbie Howlett – Farmington, New Mexico Dr. Greene’s Answer: Genetics can be so confusing! I can easily see how after much research the issue about your parents would still appear murky. The modern science of genetics had its start in 1866 when an Austrian monk named Gregor Mendel provided a simple yet powerful description of how traits are passed on from one generation to another. Mendel’s work was unappreciated until 1900 — more than fifteen years after his death. In his initial formulation, he described how sexual beings get two genes for each trait, one from each parent. The trait expressed, or visible, is a result of the interplay between these two genes."

While Abercrombie considers its clothing a \"\"lifestyle brand,\"\" others have railed against its often sexually explicit tees and over-the-top marketing campaigns. The company oversees more than 800 stores nationwide, of which about 175 are its children's brand, abercrombie, and 260 are Hollister Company stores. Its latest concept, Ruehl, debuted in Ohio in 2004, appealing to more mature buyers, those in their late 20s and early 30s. Once owned by fashion firm The Limited, Abercrombie gained its independence in 1999 and went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ANF. Its sales soared to more than $2 billion in 2005. The Early Years: 1890s to 1910s Abercrombie & Fitch Company (A&F) was founded in 1892 in New York City by David T. Abercrombie and Ezra H. Fitch. Abercrombie, a former prospector, miner, trapper, and railroad surveyor, originally produced camping equipment in lower Manhattan; Fitch, one of his customers, was a successful lawyer in Kingston, New York, who loved the outdoors. The two men pooled their interests and opened a sporting goods store. Fitch was the visionary of the two, anticipating a clientele far broader than merely those who camped out in the course of earning a living."

S., but most of the jobs are hourly and notoriously low-paid. We reached out to Glassdoor to help us find the companies that paid the best hourly wages in the industry over the last year. The data focuses on employees who work on the floor of stores that sell clothing and accessories — such as cashiers and salespeople — and excludes salary information for managers and supervisors. Bloomingdale's topped the list, with an average hourly salary of $12.36. Of the 58 companies for which Glassdoor compiled salary data, Pacific Sunwear was at the bottom, at $7.62 an hour. And Abercrombie & Fitch was second-to-last, with an average hourly wage of $7.69.10. Belk, Sales Associate, $9.49 an hour View photosbelk department store Morewww.belk.com9.

"text": "\"Image via Shutterstock. It's no surprise that many clothing brands are having a hard time keeping up with fast fashion apparel, but teen retailer Aeropostale's latest move—the closing 125 of its P. S. stores and cutting of 100 jobs—is a rude reminder that not every retailer will be come out of this battle alive. Companies struggling to compete with chains like Zara, H&M, and Forever 21 have recently taken strides to fight back and stay relevant in the market. Gap hired Rebekka Bay, previously of H&M's upscale brand COS, to redefine its aesthetic, and Abercrombie & Fitch is distributing millions of dollars in clothing to poor families and reportedly working on a plus-size line to help with brand image. Fashion experts and retail analysts are less optimistic about Aeropostale, which is struggling just as much with branding as it is with cash flow. Over the last two years, Aeropostale has seen a rapid decline in its gross income growth percentage; in January of 2012, the company was down 30 percent of its gross income, at $624 million, and in January of 2014, it was down 35 percent, reporting $402 million in gross income, according to Factset Research Systems. Plus, its stock (NYSE: ARO) is already down 45 percent for 2014. Photo by Bloomberg for Getty Images. In January, Bloomberg reported that activist investor Crescendo Partners was pressuring Aeropostale to sell the company or go private because the retailer had lost money for five straight quarters, even though investors Sycamore Partners gave Aeropostale a $150 million loan. It's said that the move to close 125 mall-based stores of the brand's kid's line, P. S., as well as 50 Aeropostale stores this year, will help the company pay its debts."

The company announced Friday its first quarter earnings, which fell drastically short of Wall Street's expectations - according to the company, its first-quarter sales in the U. S. fell by 17 percent, which many are crediting to offensive comments made by Jeffries in a 2006 interview that recently resurfaced. ' Cool kids': Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries said in 2006 that a lot of people 'don't belong' in the retailer's clothes - they're only for 'cool kids'“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” Jeffries said in a 2006 Salon article. “ Candidly, we go after the cool kids.

"text": "\" (Photo: Elise Amendola, AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREBrick-and-mortar retailers have been suffering from slow economic activity for years, as well as from increased competition from online retailers. The rise in store closings is a prominent sign of their struggles. Weakened companies cannot afford the real estate and personnel costs that go along with supporting hundreds of unprofitable locations. The clearest proof of the problem was Radio Shack's recent decision to close more than 1,000 stores. Radio Shack is hardly alone. During that last several years Gap has closed 20% of its locations. Even Macy's, which has forecast strong earnings and is considered the most successful of the mid-market retailers, closed stores recently. A number of factors can lead companies to close stores. One is mergers and acquisitions activity. As organizations join forces under a single umbrella, locations that once competed for sales can become redundant, leading to store closings."

We scoured the SEC filings of companies with the highest paid CEOs, as recently reported by The New York Times, in order to find out how much their top lawyers made in 2011. For most big companies, the general counsel isn't one of the company's five highest paid employees, meaning we couldn't find the salary.

"text": "\"Teens ditch Abercrombie & Fitch, stock tanks 18%By Hibah Yousuf August 22, 2013: 4:10 PM ETClick the chart to track shares of Abercrombie & Fitch. Abercrombie & Fitch may try to attract \"\"cool, good-looking\"\" customers and employees, but the retailer's financial performance is just ugly. So much for summer girls, and anyone else for that matter, liking Abercrombie. Teens, particularly girls, are ditching Abercrombie as well its sister brand Hollister. Same store sales, a key measure for retailers, tumbled 10% during the second quarter, leading to worse-than-expected earnings and revenue for the retailer. Shares of Abercrombie ( ANF) plunged nearly 18% Thursday following the earnings news. Will things turnaround soon? Fat chance. Abercrombie said same-store sales next quarter will be down even more, and its earnings outlook was far below what analysts were predicting. The company didn't even offer guidance beyond the third quarter \"\"due to a lack of visibility given recent traffic trends. \"\""

[ 1] Signs and symptoms appear in the first few months of life and can include failure to thrive; diarrhea; acanthocytosis; and stool abnormalities. Other features develop later in childhood and often impair the function of the nervous system, potentially causing slower intellectual development; poor muscle coordination; progressive ataxia; and an eye disorder called retinitis pigmentosa. [ 1] [2] Most of the symptoms are due to defects in the absorption and transport of vitamin E. [2] Abetalipoproteinemia is caused by mutations in the MTTP gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [ 3] Early diagnosis, high-dose vitamin E therapy, and medium-chain fatty acid supplements may slow the progression of the nervous system abnormalities. Long-term outlook is reasonably good for most affected people who are diagnosed early. If left untreated, the condition can result in early death. [ 2]Last updated: 3/22/2016Symptoms Listen The signs and symptoms of abetalipoproteinemia usually appear in the first few months of life. They can include:failure to thrive in infancydigestive symptoms such as diarrhea and steatorrhea (foul-smelling stools)abnormal, star-shaped red blood cells ( acanthocytosis)nervous system (neurologic) symptoms beginning in childhood such as slower intellectual development; peripheral neuropathy; poor muscle coordination; ataxia; and intention tremorseye (ophthalmologic) symptoms such as decreased night and color vision; retinitis pigmentosa in adolescence; and gradual deterioration of vision, often leading to blindness in the fourth decade of life [1] [2]Last updated: 3/22/2016This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have.

One of the most striking is a myeloneuropathy, meaning problems with the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system. Neurological problems associated with vitamin deficiencies were first noticed in about 2004. People begin to develop an ataxia with clumsiness due to lack of ability to tell where their body parts were in space ( proprioception ). Numbness and weakness also developed. On a neurological examination, reflexes were found to be abnormally brisk. One of the best known of myeloneuropathy is the one caused by low vitamin B12. But other vitamin deficiencies like copper, folate, or vitamin E can also cause problems with the spinal cord. Vitamin B12 Deficiency B12 deficiency can cause a wide number of different neurological problems, but the best known is the myeloneuropathy called subacute combined degeneration . B12 deficiency causes disease of the posterior columns of the spinal cord, which carry information about light touch, vibration and the position of the body in space (proprioception) from the body to the brain."

The 19th century saw the first systemic approach to disease through the use of rational, consistent outlines for taking histories and doing physical examinations. Scientific methods were applied to pathology and clinical medicine because of discoveries in physics and chemistry (both organic and inorganic). The discoveries led to knowledge of the organic chemistry of dyes, tissue staining, and improved microscopy. [ 1, 2] The blood pressure apparatus, thermometer, stethoscope, tuning fork, and later, the reflex hammer were added to the clinician's armamentarium. [ 3] With these tools, physicians and pathologists (often the same person) were able to apply Sir Francis Bacon's dictum to medicine: \"\"inquire carefully into the origin of things.\"\" [ 4]Garrod summarized the initial discoveries of the 19th century and the turn of the 20th in his book, Inborn Errors of Metabolism, some 80 years ago. By the mid 1960s, defects that led to the accumulation of metabolic products in the urine, blood, or neural tissues were identified. [ 5] These defects were largely problems in the catabolism of lipids and amino acids or in the rapid breakdown of glycogen. The identification of the metabolites that accumulated in a disease made possible the identification of the enzyme whose activity was deficient."

Share Email Print Feedback Laboratory Studies The following laboratory studies are indicated in malabsorption syndromes: Stool analysis The presence of reducing substances indicates that carbohydrates have not been properly absorbed. One common mistake, especially with the use of superabsorbent diapers, is to test the solid portion of the stool instead of the liquid portion. Furthermore, in stools that are not fresh, bacterial hydrolysis, removal of the reducing substances, and artifactual reduction of p H occur. Acidic stool has a p H level of less than 5.5. This indicates carbohydrate malabsorption, even in the absence of reducing substances. Normally, stool bile acids should not be detected. If bile acid malabsorption is suspected, quantitative conjugated and unconjugated bile acids may be measured in stool, although this test is not routinely available and is not used in routine clinical practice. The level of quantitative stool fat and the amount of fat intake should be measured and monitored for 3 days. Normal fat absorption depends on age (lower in the neonate) and improves throughout the first year of life to the reference range levels of 95% or higher. Moderate fat malabsorption ranges from 60-80%."

"text": "\"What Is Ataxia? Ataxia is derived from the Greek word meaning \"\"irregularity\"\" or \"\"disorderliness\"\" but when used medically, the term describes a condition characterized by poor coordination of movements. Ataxia may cause involuntary eye movements (nystagmus), incoordination of hands, difficulty with fine motor tasks (such as eating or writing), slurring of speech and an unsteady walk. It may make the person appear \"\"drunk.\"\" Ataxic patients are unable to walk in a straight line and tend to bump into things. In advanced stages, they may need a walker or even a wheelchair. Patients also may have difficulties with vision due to the eye movement abnormalities. Damage or degeneration in the back part of the brain called the cerebellum results in ataxia. It can also occur because of problems with the sensory system (abnormal perception of a position of a body part in space) and vestibular system (abnormal balance). A neurologist can usually differentiate between the two types of ataxia: motor and sensory."

The following article throws light on the normal range for triglyceride levels in blood, as well as the implications of their abnormal levels. Tagged Under: Triglycerides Advertisement Did You Know? The triglyceride content of blood is lower in winter than in summer. Triglyceride is a type of fat molecule obtained when a glycerol molecule is esterified with three fatty acids. Body cells breakdown this molecule to obtain energy and fuel various cellular processes. In fact, their energy yield per gram is twice as much as that of carbohydrates. In humans, triglyceride synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and also in the adipose tissue, in small quantities. Excess carbohydrates are converted to fatty acids and then to triglycerides, which are transported to the adipose tissues through blood. The dietary sources of triglycerides include vegetable oils and animal fats."

Fogoros, MDUpdated December 14, 2017Share Pin Email Print Tetra Images / Getty Images Having a low cholesterol level is often thought to be a good thing for health. But familial hypobetalipoproteinemia is a rare, inherited condition that causes mild to extremely low LDL cholesterol levels. It can produce symptoms that may need to be treated by a special diet and supplementation. ( Another disease possibly indicated by low HDL levels is familial alpha lipoprotein deficiency or Tangier disease. ) Types This disorder mostly occurs due to a mutation in the protein, apolipoprotein b (apo B). This protein is attached to LDL particles and helps transport cholesterol to cells in the body. There are two types of hypobetalipoproteinemia: homozygous and heterozygous. Individuals who are homozygous for this condition have mutations in both copies of the gene. Symptoms in these individuals will be more severe and will occur earlier in life, typically within the first 10 years of life. Heterozygous individuals, on the other hand, only have one copy of the mutated gene."

Cells that line the small intestine absorb dietary lipids and process them into lipoprotein particles that enter the circulation via the lymphatic system for eventual uptake by the liver. Triglycerides, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins are transported through the blood by these lipoprotein particles. Enzyme defects in tissue lipid disorders. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Lipoprotein disorders The major classes of lipoproteins are chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Disorders that affect lipid metabolism may be caused by defects in the structural proteins of lipoprotein particles, in the cell receptors that recognize the various types of lipoproteins, or in the enzymes that break down fats. As a result of such defects, lipids may become deposited in the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to atherosclerosis (a disease characterized by abnormal thickening and hardening of the walls of the arteries). Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disease that is caused by the deficiency of the LDL receptor on the surface of cells in the liver and other organs. As a result, cholesterol is not moved into the cells. Under normal conditions, when enough cholesterol is present in the cell, feedback mechanisms signal enzymes to cease cholesterol synthesis."

Ectopic pregnancies can occur in a number of abnormal locations, each with different characteristic growth patterns and treatment options. The most common sites for an ectopic pregnancy are theampullary (mid) portion of the fallopian tube (80-90%),isthmic (area closer to the uterus) portion of the fallopian tube (5-10%),fimbrial (distal end away from the uterus) portion of the fallopian tube (about 5%),cornua l (within the uterine muscle) portion of the fallopian tube (1-2%),abdomen (1-2%),ovary (less than 1%), orcervix (less than 1%). Ectopic pregnancies are dangerous. Any growing pregnancy requires a large nutrient source (blood supply) and develops many communications with the mother's (pregnant woman's) vascular system (blood vessels). The uterus is uniquely designed to accommodate this development, so that when a pregnancy begins to grow in other surrounding structures the vascular communication may be inadequate. Furthermore, as the pregnancy grows in size the uterus dramatically changes shape and size. Surrounding structures are usually not able to change as readily so they are often damaged or \"\"ruptured\"\" by a contained growing ectopic pregnancy. When the ectopic pregnancy outgrows the limits of the space enclosing it, there can be life threatening bleeding."

"text": "\"Home > Transportation > USPS formally launches new \"\"Priority Mail\"\" product with next-day delivery window Transportation August 14, 2013USPS formally launches new \"\"Priority Mail\"\" product with next-day delivery window Product aimed at capturing increased e-commerce volumes. By Mark B. Solomon2 Comments The U. S. Postal Service (USPS) today took the wraps off an enhanced \"\"Priority Mail\"\" delivery product that will offer day-definite deliveries in a one-to-three day time window, free insurance of up to $100 per piece, and free tracking of every Priority Mail shipment. The formal announcement was touted by USPS executives, including Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, as one of the most important enhancements to Priority Mail in 30 years. The program actually launched July 28. Perhaps the most significant change is that shippers are now able to choose among one-, two-, or three-day delivery options depending on the distance the package travels. The next-day service will be offered within a limited geography, probably less than 150 miles. A longer length of haul—Atlanta to Chicago, for example—would require two days to deliver, USPS said. Since its inception in 1968, Priority Mail has operated as an alternative for Express Mail for price-sensitive shippers. It started life as a two-day delivery product. However, in the 1990s, USPS changed its marketing to emphasize deliveries in two to three days after research concluded it had trouble hitting the two-day delivery window."

"text": "Article: How to Find a Reputable Moving Company By Tim Walker Moving is a very stressful and expensive experience, and if you don’t take precautions it can quickly turn into a nightmare. So how do you find a moving company that you can trust with everything that you own, and still feel safe in your decision? While we generallyrecommend moving yourself if possible, or using a you-pack/we-drive service like ABF U-Pack Moving®, we know that sometimes circumstances don’t allow that to work out. If that’s the situation that you’re in, here is some helpful advice to get you on the right track to find a reputable moving company. The first thing that you should do is put down your keyboard and step away from your computer. While there are some reputable moving companies that have web sites, nearly all of the victims that contact us found their moving company on the Internet. The Internet will come in handy later, but for now let’s start local. Your next step is to pick up your phone book, or call your local real estate agents and find at least three moving companies that have offices in your area. Try to find moving companies that have been in business at least ten years, and do not hire a moving broker. Current consumer protection laws related to household goods brokers are insufficiently written, and enforced."

"text": "Flood Zone FAQs Important Information regarding changes in FEMA Flood Maps The Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA) is the government agency that determines which properties in the United States are in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). In November 2004, FEMA updated their flood zone maps with new elevation information. The result of this work is that numerous properties in Charleston County that were previously classified as low risk have now moved into higher risk flood zones. These residents are now forced to pay much higher premiums to maintain flood insurance, which is often required by mortgage lenders. What is an Elevation Certificate? An Elevation Certificate is an administrative document used by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to certify the elevation of buildings in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zone. Information collected by a Charleston surveyor for the elevation certificate includes the type of building, elevations of the ground outside the building, elevations of floors including basements and crawlspaces, and the location of machinery such as boilers and air conditioners. For more information on the details of an elevation certificate, go to our page FEMA Elevation Certificates. Who needs Flood Insurance? Owners of property near water where the chance of flood damage is significant should have flood insurance to protect their assets."

"text": "Successful ABF production: Mastered technique or corporate culture? Galen Miller seemed uneasy about being interviewed. The owner and president of Miller Poultry is a warm, affable guy who’s happy to talk politics, music, food and social trends. But when Poultry Health Today wanted to learn more about his company’s 15 years’ experience raising broilers without antibiotics, he suddenly became tight-lipped — and probably for good reason. Broiler production is a highly competitive industry so, understandably, Miller wasn’t about to share all his secrets about feed ingredients, water treatments, litter management, brooding, temperature, ventilation or stocking rates. But after spending a few hours with Miller and his energetic director of live operations, Stephen Shepard, it became clear the company’s success with antibiotic-free (ABF) production wasn’t just rooted in technical know-how. ‘Interesting point’Asked if Miller Poultry’s rapid growth — 30% over the past year — and command of ABF production might have as much to do with its corporate culture, Miller paused and said candidly, “That’s an interesting point and I’m not sure we’ve ever separated the two. ”He then added, “Antibiotic-free production is costly and comes with a lot of challenges. It takes time to perfect. To make it work, I think it is more about your people, as well as the quality and the integrity of the process."

Believe it or not, the answer to these questions may differ, not only between the different transportation types available, such as a rented moving truck or portable storage unit, but also between different name brands, such as Budget Truck Rental and Penske Truck Rental.

Also, MOST (not ALL) of UPS's dollies are built by Silver Eagle and by Silver Eagle's very nature don't have crank legs...they simply have a \"\"leg\"\" or stand. UPS designed their dollies for basically one reason, to prevent theft. Due to their design, if stolen, they couldn't be used with other trailers."

"text": "\"Standard Carrier Alpha Codes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 3Standard Carrier Alpha Codes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a unique code used to identify transportation companies. It is typically two to four alphabetic letters long. It was developed by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association in the 1960s to help the transportation industry for computerizing data and records. Description The Standard Carrier Alpha Code, a two-to-four digit identification, is used by the transportation industry to identify freight carriers in computer systems and shipping documents such as Bill of Lading, Freight Bill, Packing List, and Purchase Order. It is also used by the American National Standards Institute, Accredited Standards Committee X12, and United Nations EDIFACT for Electronic Data Interchange computer systems. SCACs are commonly used by the automobile, petroleum, forest products, and chemical industries; as well as suppliers to retail businesses, carriers engaged in railroad piggyback trailers, and ocean container drayage. Freight Carriers who participate in the Uniform Intermodal Interchange Agreement (UIIA) are required to maintain a SCAC. Certain groups of SCACs are reserved for specific purposes. Codes ending with the letter \"\"U\"\" are reserved for the identification of freight containers. Codes ending with the letter \"\"X\"\" are reserved for the identification of privately owned railroad cars."

[ 2] These went hand-in-hand, as the handling of California gold and other financial matters required a secure method for transporting them across the country. This put Wells Fargo securely in the stagecoach business and prompted them to participate in the Pony Express venture. They were preceded, among others, by the Butterfield Overland Stage, but the failure of the latter put the business in Wells Fargo's hands and led to a monopoly on overland traffic that lasted until 1869, when the transcontinental rail line was completed. During this period they carried regular mail in addition to the package business, defying the post office monopoly; eventually a compromise was worked out wherein Wells Fargo charged its own fee on top of federal postage, in recognition of the limitations of the post office reaching all areas easily. From 1869 on, package services rapidly moved to rail, which was faster and cheaper."

ANR/ABF refers to a relationship involving sucking milk from the female breast as an expression of close intimacy. Adult Nursing Relationships depend on a stable and long term relationship of the couple, otherwise it is nearly impossible to maintain a steady milk flow.

(The Foundation) is offering five $2000 scholarships to apiculture graduate students in 2017. This is the Foundation’s eleventh year to award these scholarships. The Foundation is a charitable research and education foundation affiliated with the American Beekeeping Federation (ABF). The Foundation has benefited from a number of generous gifts, including the estates of Glenn and Gertrude Overturf and Margaret and Victor Thompson, and continues to be sustained by ongoing gifts from ABF members and other supportive individuals. The Foundation Trustees have chosen to use a portion of these gifts to offer five graduate student scholarships to foster professional development for emerging apicultural scientists. The scholarships are available to all currently enrolled graduate students studying any aspect of honey bees, bee husbandry and/or the apicultural industry. The purpose of the scholarships, in addition to providing modest financial support, is to allow the recipients to attend the 2017 North American Beekeeping Conference & Tradeshow at Galveston Island Convention Center at The San Luis Resort on January 10-14, 2017. Each awardee will be given a $2000 scholarship check; in addition, the Foundation will cover all lodging expenses and up to $750 in travel expenses. Graduate students enrolled in a university, either within the United States or internationally, are eligible to apply. The recipients will have an opportunity to meet other researchers and beekeepers and to present their research at the meeting."

Every year, around late February to mid-March, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park becomes the stage for Mother Nature’s spectacular show known as the “Desert Bloom.” This year – thanks to a trifecta of rainfall, mild temperatures and wind – all signs point to a memorable, picturesque bloom that could very well be worth the trip for San Diegans. The Formula & The Process: Betsy Knaak, executive director of the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association (ABDNHA), told NBC 7 the peak of the Desert Bloom, traditionally, arrives in mid-March. Desert Blooms of Season's Past This winter, the desert has experienced a healthy dose of rain – and, according to Knaak, the right type of rain. “We’ve had winter storms with that gentle rain that has soaked into the ground,” she explained. “ So, with that, we’re anticipating really beautiful blooms this year. ”Knaak, who has lived in the Anza-Borrego desert since 1978, said that typically, the formula for a successful Desert Bloom includes regular rain in November, followed by winter storms in December and January, and maybe a little extra rainfall in February."

"text": "Atchafalaya Basin The Atchafalaya Basin is the nation's largest river swamp, containing almost one million acres of America's most significant bottomland hardwoods, swamps, bayous, and backwater lakes. The basin begins near Simmesport, La., and stretches 140 miles southward to the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, the Atchafalaya Basin is bound by natural ridges formed by levee building along active and abandoned courses of the Mississippi River. Estimates show that close to 22 million pounds of crawfish is commercially harvested annually from the basin. Over the past 10,000 years or more, the Mississippi River has changed its path several times, ranging from the current location of Bayou Teche to today’s route past Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The Atchafalaya River runs down the middle of that traditional Mississippi floodplain and would probably be the main channel of the Mississippi by now, if not for the Old River Control Structure [s] near Simmesport. Formerly the lower section of the Red River, the Atchafalaya River became much smaller after the Red joined the Mississippi in the 15th century. By the 19th century, the Atchafalaya was blocked by a huge log raft, as were parts of the Red.

By Mark B. Solomon2 Comments Teamster union workers at UPS Inc. will receive wage increases totaling $3.80 an hour over the next five years, under a tentative contract agreement made late last week between union leaders and the Atlanta-based company, according to a communiqué issued over the weekend by Teamster dissident group Teamsters for a Democratic Union (TDU). The wage increases will be spread over seven separate payments starting Aug. 1, 2013 through the end of the contract on Aug. 1, 2018, according to the TDU communiqué. For full-time drivers, the proposed increases would raise hourly wages to $36.05 by the end of the contract. Contracts—which will cover about 240,000 workers at UPS' core small-package business and an additional 10,000 to 12,000 members at its UPS Freight less-than-truckload (LTL) unit—would take effect Aug.1 if ratified by the rank-and-file at the package unit and the LTL operation. The current contracts are set to expire the day before. It was unclear at press time if the proposed wage increases applied only to workers at the package unit or to UPS Freight employees as well. The tentative contract would set starting pay at $10 an hour for part-timers at the package operations, according to the TDU document. This would represent a $1.50-an-hour increase in starting wages for part-timers. Representatives from every Teamster local will convene May 7 to review the proposals, according to the TDU document."

Transportation August 16, 2014US Xpress lets loose with 13 percent wage hike for solo drivers; will other truckers follow suit? Move is largest one-time driver pay hike in company history. By Mark B. Solomon1 Comment It may not have been the first salvo fired in the truck driver wage wars, but it certainly packed a wallop. US Xpress Enterprises, a Chattanooga, Tenn.-based truckload carrier, said earlier this week it will raise the pay of its over-the-road solo drivers by an average of 13 percent to a maximum of 46 cents per mile, effective Aug. 25. The increase will put US Xpress' solo drivers in the top 10 percent of solo driver wage earners in the industry, the company said in a statement. US Xpress added that, on that date, it would eliminate its sliding pay scale for all its over-the-road solo drivers. It will replace that model with a simplified rate structure under which all drivers will earn the same base per-mile pay regardless of the length of haul of their trips, it said. Drivers had complained the sliding-scale formula made it difficult to calculate their base pay from week to week, the company said. The increase is the largest one-time driver wage boost in US Xpress' 28-year history."

The photo was intended to be of a black-crowned night heron; the photographer was initially unaware of the pileated woodpecker flashing through. Serendipity means an unplanned, fortuitous discovery. The term was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a letter he wrote to his friend Horace Mann, Walpole explained an unexpected discovery he had made about a (lost) painting [1] of Bianca Cappello by Giorgio Vasari by reference to a Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip. The princes, he told his correspondent, were \"\"always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of\"\". The notion of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scientific innovation. Examples are Alexander Fleming 's accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928, the invention of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945, and the invention of the Post-it note by Spencer Silver in 1968."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A nocebo effect is said to occur when negative expectations of the patient regarding a treatment cause the treatment to have a more negative effect than it otherwise would have. [ 1] [2] For example, when a patient anticipates a side effect of a medication, he/she can suffer that effect even if the \"\"medication\"\" is actually an inert substance. [ 1] Both placebo and nocebo effects are presumably psychogenic, but they can induce measurable changes in the body and the brain. [ 1] [3] One article that reviewed 31 studies on nocebo effects reported a wide range of symptoms that could manifest as nocebo effects including nausea, stomach pains, itching, bloating, depression, sleep problems, loss of appetite, sexual dysfunction and severe hypotension. [ 1] Mental states such as beliefs and expectations can strongly influence the outcome of disease, the experience of pain, and even success of surgery. [ 3] The similarly-named concept, the placebo effect, is said to occur when positive expectations improve an outcome.

Kennedy emphasized that his use of the term \"\"nocebo\"\" refers strictly to a subject-centered response, \"\"a quality inherent in the patient rather than in the remedy. [ 6] That is, Kennedy rejected the use of the term for pharmacologically induced negative side effects such as the ringing in the ears caused by quinine \"\".

"text": "Search Counseling and Therapy Degree Programs What Does a Therapist Do? Therapy Career Basics Therapists are classified as mental health professionals; as such, they must complete significant education and training to receive a license to practice. At minimum, most therapists hold a master’s degree and have completed a substantial amount of supervised clinical hours before ever independently seeing a client. Their time in school equips them with the skills and tools needed to assess clients, listen to their troubles, and apply relevant and appropriate treatment methods to a variety of emotional and mental problems. Therapy Careers In-Depth Therapists may elect to work with many different parts of the population throughout their careers, and specialization areas for them abound. Whether serving military families going through the emotions of another deployment or a couple grieving the loss of a child, therapists are empathetic yet highly professional individuals who help their clients deal with mental and emotional issues arising from a variety of life events. They may choose to go into private practice or serve on a team of other therapists and mental health professionals. Regardless of their setting, those in the field are characterized by their ability to provide thoughtful, constructive therapeutic services. Therapist Salaries & Job Growth Therapist Salaries Across the USThe median salary for mental health counselors and marriage and family counselors is $48,600, with those in the top brackets of the profession commanding salaries of nearly $82,000 annually. Depending on the state where a therapist plans to practice, these numbers can be higher or lower."

To understand what has happened during Origins and the Zombies timeline, we must first understand Mob of the Dead. As we're all aware, Mob of the Dead is the first time we're introduced to this idea of a cycle in Zombies, and this concept of a cycle is very important. Let's go back to Alcatraz. When we first start the map, the four mobsters are in their cells while Ferguson is patrolling the cell block. The Weasel tricks Ferguson into entering his cell, and after he does Al kills Ferguson. Then the prison is altered to a Hellish new form, zombies start storming the prison, and the four must fight for their lives and build a plane to escape the island."

"text": "\"Groupshift is a phenomenon in which the initial positions of individual members of a group are exaggerated toward a more extreme position. [ a] When people are in groups, they make decisions about risk differently from when they are alone. In the group, they are likely to make riskier decisions, as the shared risk makes the individual risk less. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Origin3 Causes4 Using the risky shift5 See also6 Notes7 References8 Sources Overview [ edit]An example of groupshift is when the fans of a sports team celebrate the win of their team and their celebration turns to destruction of property. What appears to happen in groups is that the discussion leads to a significant shift in the positions of members toward a more extreme position in the direction in which they were already leaning before the discussion; so conservative types become more cautious and the more aggressive types take on more risk. For example, one study examined what would occur if prejudiced students were asked to discuss racial issues and what would happen if non-prejudiced students discussed the same racial issues. The prejudiced students became more prejudiced whilst the non-prejudiced students became more non-prejudiced (Myers & Bishop, 1970). The group discussion tends to exaggerate the initial position of the group. This idea seems to relate quite well with the basic principles of groupthink, which is a mode of thinking that people engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive group, when the members' strivings for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise alternative courses of action. Groupshift can be seen to be evident within groupthink as a sub-set of typical thinking patterns that occur in group situations and can be observed in society in situations such as student bodies, government, sporting teams and juries ... Origin [ edit]The first term for groupshift was risky shift; it was first coined in the early 1960s and was used to describe the tendency for groups to take more risks than the individuals within these groups would have taken had they been faced with the same problem alone (Baumeister & Bushman, 2008)."

"text": "\"The Infinite Working with the infinite is tricky business. Zeno’s paradoxes first alerted philosophers to this in 450 B. C. E. when he argued that a fast runner such as Achilles has an infinite number of places to reach during the pursuit of a slower runner. Since then, there has been a struggle to understand how to use the notion of infinity in a coherent manner. This article concerns the significant and controversial role that the concepts of infinity and the infinite play in the disciplines of philosophy, physical science, and mathematics. Philosophers want to know whether there is more than one coherent concept of infinity; which entities and properties are infinitely large, infinitely small, infinitely divisible, and infinitely numerous; and what arguments can justify answers one way or the other. Here are four suggested examples of these different ways to be infinite. The density of matter at the center of a black hole is infinitely large. An electron is infinitely small. An hour is infinitely divisible. The integers are infinitely numerous."

Come a ti yi yippee, come a ti, yi, yea. \"\" As the longhorns slowly moved from pasture lands near San Antonio, Texas to the railhead in Abilene cowhands passed time by singing songs such as ”The Old Chisholm Trail”. The drive was slow, allowing the steers to graze along the way. With plenty of time to sing, each cowboy must have added to the song because experts today have found as many as 1,000 verses. Cattle drives from Texas started as early as 1836 with some ranchers using this method to get their cattle to railheads so they could sell them for beef, hides and tallow. During the Civil War, the demand for beef didn't lessen but there was no way to get the cattle to the east coast. Throughout most of the Civil War, the Union troops had blocked shipping along the Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi River. Therefore people in the eastern portion of the United States couldn’t get the needed beef. During the war, the unattended longhorns had multiplied on the Texas plains."

"text": "\"Time Time is what we use a clock to measure. Information about time tells us the durations of events, and when they occur, and which events happen before which others. Nevertheless, despite 2,500 years of investigation into the nature of time, there are many unresolved issues. Consider this one issue upon which philosophers are deeply divided: What sort of ontological differences are there among the present, the past and the future? There are three competing theories. Presentists argue that necessarily only present objects and present experiences are real, and we conscious beings recognize this in the special vividness of our present experience compared to our dim memories of past experiences and our expectations of future experiences. So, the dinosaurs have slipped out of reality even though our current ideas of them have not. However, according to the growing-past theory, the past and present are both real, but the future is not real because the future is indeterminate or merely potential. Dinosaurs are real, but our future death is not. The third theory is that there are no objective ontological differences among present, past, and future because the differences are merely subjective."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Physics Is time travel theoretically possible? Follow 31 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Time travel is the concept of traveling forward and backward to different points in time, much as we do through space. Unsolved problems in physics: Is time travel theoretically possible? Is it practically possible? If so, what are we to make of the time travel paradoxes, such as going back in time and killing one's own grandfather, etc.? Humans are in fact always traveling in time in a linear fashion, from the present to the immediate future, inexorably, until death. Some theories are predicated on the fact that we move forward in time, and both forward and backward in space. Since time and space have been shown to be intrinsically linked, travelling forwards and backwards through time is not a theoretical impossibility. Currently, traveling at speeds approaching the speed of light can cause time dilation, the effects of which cause the individual traveling to pass through time more slowly. From the perspective of the traveler, external time would be going much faster, causing the traveler, upon stopping, to arrive at a place farther in the future."

"text": "St ATS: What is a Kappa coefficient? ( Cohen's Kappa)When two binary variables are attempts by two individuals to measure the same thing, you can use Cohen's Kappa (often simply called Kappa) as a measure of agreement between the two individuals. Kappa measures the percentage of data values in the main diagonal of the table and then adjusts these values for the amount of agreement that could be expected due to chance alone. Two raters are asked to classify objects into categories 1 and 2. The table below contains cell probabilities for a 2 by 2 table. To compute Kappa, you first need to calculate the observed level of agreement This value needs to be compared to the value that you would expect if the two raters were totally independent,The value of Kappa is defined as The numerator represents the discrepancy between the observed probability of success and the probability of success under the assumption of an extremely bad case. Independence implies that pair of raters agree about as often as two pairs of people who effectively flip coins to make their ratings. The maximum value for kappa occurs when the observed level of agreement is 1, which makes the numerator as large as the denominator. As the observed probability of agreement declines, the numerator declines. It is possible for Kappa to be negative, but this does not occur too often."

"text": "With Health Insurance: 10%-50% Coinsurance Without Health Insurance: $300 or Less E-mail Post Tweet Comments (17)Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, occur more frequently in women and usually are caused by e.coli bacteria that get into the urethra. When infection has spread from the urethra into the bladder, it also is known as cystitis or a bladder infection. A UTI usually is easily treated, but can spread to the kidneys, in which case hospitalization might be required. Symptoms of a UTI can include frequent urge to urinate, pain and burning in the bladder and fatigue. Typical costs: For patients covered by health insurance, costs typically consist of a doctor-visit copay, a lab copay and a prescription drug copay --totaling less than $100, depending on the insurance plan. If hospitalization is required, costs could include a hospital admission fee of $100 or more, as well as coinsurance of 10% to 50%, which could reach the out-of-pocket maximum. Urinary tract infection treatment is usually covered by health insurance. For patients not covered by health insurance, treatment for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection typically costs less than $300 for a doctor visit, urine culture, antibiotics and an analgesic for pain. For example, at CVS Minute Clinic [ 1] , the exam fee for a UTI is $79-$89, but a primary care physician might charge $100 or more. The fee for the urine culture typically adds about $30-$45."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from REM cycle)navigation search A sample hypnogram (electroencephalogram of sleep) showing sleep cycles characterized by increasing paradoxical (REM) sleep. EEG of a mouse that shows REM sleep being characterized by prominent theta-rhythm Rapid eye movement sleep (REM sleep, REMS) is a unique phase of sleep in mammals and birds, distinguishable by random/rapid movement of the eyes, accompanied with low muscle tone throughout the body, and the propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly. The REM phase is also known as paradoxical sleep (PS) and sometimes desynchronized sleep because of physiological similarities to waking states, including rapid, low-voltage desynchronized brain waves. Electrical and chemical activity regulating this phase seems to originate in the brain stem and is characterized most notably by an abundance of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, combined with a nearly complete absence of monoamine neurotransmitters histamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. REM sleep is physiologically different from the other phases of sleep, which are collectively referred to as non-REM sleep (NREM sleep, NREMS, synchronized sleep). REM and non-REM sleep alternate within one sleep cycle, which lasts about 90 minutes in adult humans. As sleep cycles continue, they shift towards a higher proportion of REM sleep. The transition to REM sleep brings marked physical changes, beginning with electrical bursts called PGO waves originating in the brain stem. Organisms in REM sleep suspend central homeostasis, allowing large fluctuations in respiration, thermoregulation, and circulation which do not occur in any other modes of sleeping or waking. The body abruptly loses muscle tone, a state known as REM atonia."

Producers that are found in the coral reef are zooxanthellae, sponges, seaweed, corraline algae, marine worms, marine algae, plankton, phytoplankton. Herbivores/Primary Consumers A herbivore is an animal that feeds on plants. The coral reef ecosystem relies on herbivorous fish to keep algae populations in check. Algae often compete with corals for sunlight, nutrients and space, and fish eating these competitive algae are extremely beneficial to maintain a healthy reef. For example, many parrotfish species specialise in eating hard algae and surgeon fish and tangs often eat softer types of algae."

The climatogram provides a fast and simple method for comparing climates based on the two most influential factors: rainfall and temperature. Because many small climates overlap and affect one another, scientists use these graphs to describe climates on a larger scale by using the average temperature and average rainfall amounts for each month. While many other factors contribute to the overall climate of a particular biome, climatograms are simple to create and reveal long-term climate trends in an easy to understand manner."

"text": "\"Home »Nature What Are Some Abiotic Factors in a Temperate Rain Forest? By J. Dianne Dotson; Updated March 13, 2018Temperate rain forests, as opposed to tropical rain forests, represent rare ecosystems that exist in the temperate zones of the world. Because of their higher latitudes, they are much cooler and darker than tropical rain forests. Temperate rain forests can be found along the northern Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Oregon, the coast of Chile, New Zealand, the island of Tasmania, and parts of Japan, Norway, and Turkey. A number of abiotic factors, which are non-living factors influencing an ecosystem, whether chemical or physical, contribute to the unique characteristics of temperate rain forests. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)Several abiotic (non-living) factors affect temperate rain forest ecosystems. These include water, temperature, topography, light, wind and soil. The Abiotic Factor of Water Because these forests are mostly found alongside oceans with comparatively warm currents, the chief defining abiotic factor that distinguishes temperate rain forests is water. Specifically, water in the form of precipitation determines what species thrive in this environment. Temperate rain forests receive between 150 to 500 centimeters (59 to 197 inches) of precipitation annually."

Grasslands are regions dominated by the members of Poaceae (family) along with other herbs and small shurbs. In addition to that the sedges and rushes are also found and it occurs in all continents except Antarctica. Agrasslands populate almost all ecological regions and can be grouped into six catgories ,namely,tropical and subtroipical grasslandstemperate grasslandsflooded grasslandsmontane grasslands Tundra grassland Xeric and desert grassland The abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland are instrumental in shaping the sturcture and function of the ecosystem. The different abiotic and biotic factors operate differentia;lly in the different types of grassland ecosystems according to their respective environmental conditions. Abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland play fundamental roles in survival of the grassland ecosystem. Abiotic Factors of Grassland Ecosystem Ther abiotic factors of the grassland basically consists of the following: Climate: It is one of the most crucial aboitic factors that shape the ecosystem and includes rainfall, temperature, wind flow, ground moisture etc. Natural grasslands have a precipitaion of 500 -900 mm per year,whereas , the deserts have a rainfall of about 250 mm /year. This rainfall maintains the moisture and interacts with the abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland . The tropical rainforests, however, have rainfall of more than 2000mm per year."

"text": "ABIOTIC FACTORSSoil Soil in Tropical Rainforests is generally very poor in quality. All soluble nutrients are washed away by the heavy daily rainfall in the regions. However, the combination of the heat and moisture in the biomes tend to speed the process of decay for both plants and animals. As they decay, these organisms resupply the soil with nutrients, allowing it to support the wide variety of plant life in the area. Sunlight The amount of sunlight in tropical rainforests varies depending on how high one is in a tree. The emergent layer is composed of trees that have pushed past the others in terms of height. These trees have widespread branches, and can absorb the maximum amount of sunlight that they need to grow. The next layer down in the canopy, composed of trees with heights often above 160 feet. The canopy is tightly packed with trees vying for sunlight, creating a dense web of interlocked branches, forming somewhat of an umbrella. These trees absorb most of the sunlight, leaving little to go through to the areas below."

"text": "\"Max Wadley, AP Biology Student Answered Mar 13, 2018Abiotic components of an ecosystem are a set of nonliving factors that have an effect on the distribution of a certain species. If physical conditions of an ecosystem don’t allow an organism to successfully live and reproduce in that certain area, you won’t find that organism in that area. The alpine tree-line up a mountain is a good example of abiotic factors limiting distribution of a species. At a certain elevation, there is not enough oxygen for a large tree to grow and reproduce, and so you will see a stark break in tree coverage on the side of a mountain. With this example in mind, there are a few abiotic factors that students of biology and ecology should know, although there are many more: Temperature Water Availability Salinity Sunlight Rocks/Soil Temperature Temperature is one of the most important factors because of its effect on internal processes. Animals without sufficient protection against cold can see their cells lyse when the water inside the cells freezes, and the proteins of most organisms denature and become inactive at a certain temperature. Metabolic activity can be limited by extreme cold or extreme heat, which is why you only find extremophile bacteria on the interior cavern of an active volcano. Water Availability All living organisms require water to survive, and so it should not be a surprise that if there isn’t enough water in an area for an organism to survive, it will not be found there. While the best example is the lack of evergreen trees in deserts, species on the seashore or tidal wetlands can dry out if the tide recedes for to long. You can replace “water” with any substance that organisms need to survive, like oxygen as seen in the alpine tree line limit."

The process of energy flows and nutrient cycles make it possible for both the biotic and abiotic elements to work together. In short, an ecosystem is an interaction and sometimes a symbiosis that permits organisms to exist in limited spaces. Energy, air, water, soil, soil minerals, and nitrogen are all important components of an ecosystem. External factors also matter in how an ecosystem exists and prospers.

Ecosystems An ecosystem can be described simply as the collection of all living and non-living components in a particular area. The living components of the environment are known as biotic factors. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and micro-organisms. The non-living components of the environment are known as abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include things such as rocks,water,soil,light,etc... The idea of the ecosystem relates to the idea that all organisms in the environment are engaged in relationships with every other aspect (like resources and other organisms) in that environment. Ecosystems deal with energy and nutrient flow through a system/community. For example, a household or a university could be described as an ecosystem, and a city or a state could be described as a larger ecosystem. While ecosystems may be bound and individually discussed, they do not exist independently, but interact in a complex web. The ecological relationships connecting all ecosystems make up the biosphere."

"text": "Tropical rainforests are not my study area, but I know a little bit about this topic from reading. Obviously, tropical rainforests are very rainy. So, water is not a limiting factor in this ecosystem, at least to many of the organisms. Water might be more limiting to epiphytes, plants that live on other plants and don't have access to water in the soils. However, this large amount of yearly rainfall doesn't necessarily translate to as much productivity by plants as might be imagined, and that's because tropical rainforests tend to be very nutrient limited (another abiotic factor). Almost every little bit of the nutrients that plants need in rainforests (such as nitrogen and phosphorus) are tied up in the plants themselves; there is almost none available in the soils for new plants to find and use. This lack of nutrients has a few causes. One, all that rainfall tends to take it out of soils, out to streams, and ultimately out to sea. Two, these soils are extremely old compared to soils found in temperate regions, so they have had a lot of time to be depleted of these resources. And three, the soil microbiota are very quick at taking organic nutrients (which can't be taken up by plant roots) and converting them to inorganic nutrients (which can be taken taken up by plant roots.)"

A limiting factor is a factor that restricts the size of a population from reaching its full potential. The amount of food & water in a habitat is an example of a limiting factor. Other factors include geographical space, predation, climate, competition (for prey, food, mates) etc. An example of a limiting factor is sunlight in the rainforest, where growth is limited to all plants in the understory unless more light becomes available. Or perhaps in a deciduous forest, there are not enough rabbits to support the growth of more foxes. All species within an ecosystem will experience some kind of limiting factors to prevent continuous and exponential growth. ( Even humans) Environmental changes (i.e drought, famine, human destruction) results in decreased rates of physiological processes, lowering the potential for survival, growth, or reproduction. Species will undergo Acclimatization to adjust to the new limiting factors through changing their behavior or physiology. Limiting Factors: Light (exposure to light can change climate & growth of plants)Heat (will determine the weather/climate of an ecosystem)Mechanical Support (any features (i.e waterfalls, valleys, hills) which can either facilitate or inhibit a species survival Organic Matter (this will determine soil nutrition and therefore plant growth)Nutrients (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Phosphorous etc.)"

A: Quick Answer Some examples of abiotic factors in temperate forests include the soil and mineral characteristics of the area, as well as the temperature and climate of the forest. In contrast to biotic, or living, factors of a forest, the abiotic factors are the result of non-living processes.

Credit: Peter Walton Photography Photolibrary Getty Images Full Answer The type of soil supporting a temperate forest affects the plant and animal communities that live in them. Sandy-soiled forests typically host pine trees and flame-resistant shrubs. By contrast, forests with clay or loamy soils usually host hardwood trees if they are old enough. The p H of the soil influences the trees and plants living in a forest as well."

Abstract A plant biostimulant is any substance or microorganism applied to plants with the aim to enhance nutrition efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and/or crop quality traits, regardless of its nutrients content. By extension, plant biostimulants also designate commercial products containing mixtures of such substances and/or microorganisms. The definition proposed by this article is supported by arguments related to the scientific knowledge about the nature, modes of action and types of effects of biostimulants on crop and horticultural plants. Furthermore, the proposed definition aims at contributing to the acceptance of biostimulants by future regulations, especially in the EU, drawing the lines between biostimulants and fertilisers, pesticides or biocontrol agents. Many biostimulants improve nutrition and they do so regardless of their nutrients contents. Biofertilisers, which we propose as a subcategory of biostimulants, increase nutrient use efficiency and open new routes of nutrients acquisition by plants. In this sense, microbial biostimulants include mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal fungi, bacterial endosymbionts (like Rhizobium) and Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria. Thus, microorganisms applied to plants can have a dual function of biocontrol agent and of biostimulant, and the claimed agricultural effect will be instrumental in their regulatory categorization. The present review gives an overview of the definition and concept of plant biostimulants, as well as the main categories."

Grasslands are regions dominated by the members of Poaceae (family) along with other herbs and small shurbs. In addition to that the sedges and rushes are also found and it occurs in all continents except Antarctica. Agrasslands populate almost all ecological regions and can be grouped into six catgories ,namely,tropical and subtroipical grasslandstemperate grasslandsflooded grasslandsmontane grasslands Tundra grassland Xeric and desert grassland The abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland are instrumental in shaping the sturcture and function of the ecosystem. The different abiotic and biotic factors operate differentia;lly in the different types of grassland ecosystems according to their respective environmental conditions. Abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland play fundamental roles in survival of the grassland ecosystem. Abiotic Factors of Grassland Ecosystem Ther abiotic factors of the grassland basically consists of the following: Climate: It is one of the most crucial aboitic factors that shape the ecosystem and includes rainfall, temperature, wind flow, ground moisture etc. Natural grasslands have a precipitaion of 500 -900 mm per year,whereas , the deserts have a rainfall of about 250 mm /year. This rainfall maintains the moisture and interacts with the abiotic and biotic factors of the grassland . The tropical rainforests, however, have rainfall of more than 2000mm per year."

It can be considered as a complex network which has many interactions with each other. It includes all living things, their interactions and all non living things in the environment. It is the foundation for the energy flow and biogeochemical cycles. Every organism in the ecosystem has its own niche and a role to play for the existence of the ecosystem. Ecosystem has two major components named biotic component and abiotic component. They are also called biotic factor and abiotic factor.

This is found in the poles. Here plants grow only in summer when there is sunlight. Plants grow very close to the ground level. Examples of Tundra plants are moss, lichen and algae. During winter this region is completely covered by ice and snow. Here animals like arctic rabbits, arctic fox, reindeer, migratory birds, penguins and polar bears are seen. During warm season flies and mosquitoes are found. The tundra has a low temperature and short growing season and during winter time everything is frozen but at the summer time the top layer of soil thaws.

Resources can be broadly classified on the basis upon their availability they are renewable and non renewable resources. They can also be classified as actual and potential on the basis of level of development and use, on the basis of origin they can be classified as biotic and abiotic, and on the bases of their distribution, as ubiquitous and localized. An item becomes a resource with time and developing technology. Typically resources are materials, energy, services, staff, knowledge, or other assets that are transformed to produce benefit and in the process may be consumed or made unavailable. Benefits of resource utilization may include increased wealth or wants, proper functioning of a system, or enhanced well being. From a human perspective a natural resource is anything obtained from the environment to satisfy human needs and wants. [ 1] From a broader biological or ecological perspective a resource satisfies the needs of a living organism (see biological resource ). [ 2]The concept of resources has been applied in diverse realms, with respect to economics, biology and ecology, computer science, management, and human resources, and is linked to the concepts of competition, sustainability, conservation, and stewardship."

When it comes to ecosystems, a mountain, a river, and a cloud have more in common than you might think. Abiotic factors have specific and important roles in nature because they help shape and define ecosystems. Biotic and Abiotic Factors An ecosystem is defined as any community of living and non-living things that work together. Ecosystems do not have clear boundaries, and it may be difficult to see where one ecosystem ends and another begins. In order to understand what makes each ecosystem unique, we need to look at the biotic and abiotic factors within them. Biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem. These may be plants, animals, fungi, and any other living things. Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. Both biotic and abiotic factors are related to each other in an ecosystem, and if one factor is changed or removed, it can affect the entire ecosystem."

Abiotic factors are the non-living components of a habitat. The abiotic factors in an ecosystem are grouped into soil (edaphic), air, topography, meteorology, availability of water and quality of water. The meteorological factors are temperature, wind, sun, humidity and precipitation. The activities and growth of plants and animals are a result of several of these abiotic factors.

Biological diversity is the variety of species of living organisms of an ecosystem. In ecosystems that are more biodiverse, such as tropical forests, a large variety of plants, microorganisms and animals live; in ecosystems that are less biodiverse, such as deserts, there is less variety of living organisms. Biodiversity Review - Image Diversity: variety of life on earth Abiotic Factors and Biodiversity More Bite-Sized Q&As Below2. How does biological diversity relate to the characteristics of the abiotic factors of an ecosystem? The availability of abiotic factors such as light, moisture, mineral salts, heat and carbon dioxide, more or less conditions the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Photosynthesis depends on water and light, and plants also need mineral salts, carbon dioxide and adequate temperature for their cells to work. In environments where these factors are not restrictive, the synthesis of organic material (by photosynthesis) is at a maximum, plants and algae can reproduce easier, the population of these organisms increases, potential ecological niches multiply and new species emerge. The large mass of producers makes the appearance of a diversity of consumers of several orders possible."

Share Nov 17, 2016Generally, the ecosystem is the lowest level of organization that is considered to include nonliving (abiotic) factors. So that would mean that ecosystems, biomes, and the biosphere include abiotic factors. The traditional levels of organization are as follows: Biosphere Biome Ecosystem Community Population Organism You might see slightly different lists in different places, but those 6 are standard. An organism is an individual living thing, while a population is a group of organisms of the same species in an area. A community is multiple interacting populations, and an ecosystem is a community or multiple communities and the abiotic factors of the environment. A biome is a large region made up of multiple ecosystems and characterized by the climate and organisms that live there. The biosphere is everywhere on Earth where there is life. Was this helpful?

The article discusses these abiotic factors and how they affect living organisms. Important Abiotic Factors Planet Earth is the only known planet that has conditions suitable enough for living organisms to grow, reproduce and survive. These conditions are a combination of non-living components like water, sunlight, temperature and living components like micro-organisms, plants and animals. The non-living components of a particular environment that make the conditions ideal for sustenance of life are known as the abiotic factors. Some of the important abiotic factors that affect living organisms are: Water Water can easily be called the lifeblood of Earth. The planet’s surface is covered by 70% water and it is the essential component of all living beings. 75 % of the human body is comprised of water, with 90% of blood being water.

Populations cannot grow indefinitely because they are limited by resources. When there are too many individuals in a given area, the population may become too dense. However, nature has ways of helping the population return to a more appropriate size. Density-Dependent Factors Defined When a population of organisms becomes too large, the individuals will suffer because there will not be enough resources for everyone. These resources, such as food, water, and shelter, are essential to life. Each population has a size that is 'just right' for it, and there are natural methods to control population growth. One very important mechanism for regulating population size is density dependence. The density of a population is simply how many organisms are living in a given area. Density-dependent factors are factors where the effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the density of the population itself."

In this lesson, we will learn about ecological niches as well as the roles of organisms and the various aspects of their lives. What Is an Ecological Niche? An ecological niche is the role and position a species has in its environment; how it meets its needs for food and shelter, how it survives, and how it reproduces. A species' niche includes all of its interactions with the biotic and abiotic factors of its environment. Biotic factors are living things, while abiotic factors are nonliving things. It is advantageous for a species to occupy a unique niche in an ecosystem because it reduces the amount of competition for resources that species will encounter."

When it comes to ecosystems, a mountain, a river, and a cloud have more in common than you might think. Abiotic factors have specific and important roles in nature because they help shape and define ecosystems. Biotic and Abiotic Factors An ecosystem is defined as any community of living and non-living things that work together. Ecosystems do not have clear boundaries, and it may be difficult to see where one ecosystem ends and another begins. In order to understand what makes each ecosystem unique, we need to look at the biotic and abiotic factors within them. Biotic factors are all of the living organisms within an ecosystem. These may be plants, animals, fungi, and any other living things. Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things in an ecosystem. Both biotic and abiotic factors are related to each other in an ecosystem, and if one factor is changed or removed, it can affect the entire ecosystem."

The life supporting zone of the earth where atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere meet, interact and make life possible, is known as biosphere. The lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere are non-living components of the environment and are known as abiotic. The biotic or living components include plants, animals and microbes living on the earth. A constant interaction between the abiotic and biotic components of the biosphere results in the transfer of food and energy, which makes it a dynamic but stable system.

The biome is distributed over portions of five regions of the globe: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia–New Zealand. These forests can be mixed deciduous, mixed coniferous, and temperate rainforests, in all cases dominated by freeze-hardy tree species. They cover a wide range of physiographic landforms and soils, glaciated and unglaciated, from rocky slopes to nutrient-rich bottomlands, or plains to nutrient-poor coastal plains. They exhibit high diversity in woody plants and support a wide variety of fauna. The structure and composition of temperate forests are shaped by major natural disturbances that include wind and ice storms, fires, flooding, and insect outbreaks, as well as human-driven disturbances that include forest harvest. The physiology and ecology of forest trees are closely linked to abiotic processes including nutrient cycling and flows of energy and water. The balance of carbon in forest ecosystems is determined by the competing processes of vegetation growth versus herbivory and heterotrophic respiration and decomposition, with most decomposition occurring in the surface layers of soils and being highly seasonal. Author Keywords Biogeography; Carbon; Coniferous; Deciduous; Ecosystem; Energy; Fauna; Forest; Land cover; Nutrient cycling; Seasonal; Water Introduction The temperate forest biome is characterized by a distinct seasonality that includes a long growing season together with a cold winter season in which much of the vegetation may be dormant.

"text": "\"Max Wadley, AP Biology Student Answered Mar 13, 2018Abiotic components of an ecosystem are a set of nonliving factors that have an effect on the distribution of a certain species. If physical conditions of an ecosystem don’t allow an organism to successfully live and reproduce in that certain area, you won’t find that organism in that area. The alpine tree-line up a mountain is a good example of abiotic factors limiting distribution of a species. At a certain elevation, there is not enough oxygen for a large tree to grow and reproduce, and so you will see a stark break in tree coverage on the side of a mountain. With this example in mind, there are a few abiotic factors that students of biology and ecology should know, although there are many more: Temperature Water Availability Salinity Sunlight Rocks/Soil Temperature Temperature is one of the most important factors because of its effect on internal processes. Animals without sufficient protection against cold can see their cells lyse when the water inside the cells freezes, and the proteins of most organisms denature and become inactive at a certain temperature. Metabolic activity can be limited by extreme cold or extreme heat, which is why you only find extremophile bacteria on the interior cavern of an active volcano. Water Availability All living organisms require water to survive, and so it should not be a surprise that if there isn’t enough water in an area for an organism to survive, it will not be found there. While the best example is the lack of evergreen trees in deserts, species on the seashore or tidal wetlands can dry out if the tide recedes for to long. You can replace “water” with any substance that organisms need to survive, like oxygen as seen in the alpine tree line limit."

"text": "Filipe Cirilo, 35 years as a jungle tour guide from Manaus capital of the Amazonas State Brazil Answered Dec 17, 2015Some of the Abiotic factors of the Amazon Rainforest are water, humidity, soil, temperature, and rocks. The amazon rainforest gets about 9 ft of water in the form of precipitation every year. Because the rainforest is filled with a variety of species, water is an essential need for survival. And humidity creates something almost like a protective barrier around the amazon rainforest that protects it against forest fires. When it becomes less humid and drier, it is easier for the rainforest to have fires. Forest fires aren’t all bad though. Yes, they kill some organisms that used that part for a habitat, but they also make room for growth. The soil in the amazon rainforest is filled with nutrients that help a variety of plants and trees grow. This is called secondary succession. After a fire, the soil still carries nutrients which help new plants and trees grow, making it easier for the ecosystem to rejuvenate."

Jaguar In A Rainforest Ecosystem: One of The Most Species-Rich Ecosystems In The World5. Ecosystems, Defined An ecosystem is the sum of both the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components of a natural community. The process of energy flows and nutrient cycles make it possible for both the biotic and abiotic elements to work together. In short, an ecosystem is an interaction and sometimes a symbiosis that permits organisms to exist in limited spaces. Energy, air, water, soil, soil minerals, and nitrogen are all important components of an ecosystem. External factors also matter in how an ecosystem exists and prospers. Climate, topography, time, biota, and the parent material all affect the ecosystem in some way.4."

Usually 10-60 tree species with a well-developed multilayered canopy. Many of the trees have buttresses, as commonly found with rainforest trees. Strangler species, especially the ubiquitous Strangler Fig, Bangalow Palms, woody vines, orchids and other large epiphytes, elkhorns, staghorns and birdsnest ferns, with ground ferns and large-leafed herbs. Some of the more common trees usually found in this type of rainforest are Booyong ( Argyrodendron spp . ), Yellow Carrabeen ( Sloanea woollsii ), Rosewood ( Dysoxylum fraseranum ), the Fig ( Ficus spp) and Lilly Pillie (Syzygium) families. Some of the main areas where this rainforest type occures are Tamborine Mountains National Park , Lamington Nation Park , Border Ranges NP, in the more sheltered parts of the Mt Warning NP, Minyon Falls in the Whian Whian State Conservation Area and Nightcap NP. An example of this rainforest can be seen at Stott's Island in the Tweed River, between Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah. This rainforest type has a dense multilayered tree canopy, 20-40 m tall, contains large emergent trees such as figs and cedar, with a sub-canopy of smaller trees including palms. The canopy is usually composed of many species with a wide range of leaf size up to 30 cm long, and many compound types composed of 2 or more leaflets. The trees often have buttressed trunks, their branches covered with a variety of epiphytes, orchids and ferns, or with lianas draped over them, up to the highest branches."

"text": "ABIOTIC FACTORSSoil Soil in Tropical Rainforests is generally very poor in quality. All soluble nutrients are washed away by the heavy daily rainfall in the regions. However, the combination of the heat and moisture in the biomes tend to speed the process of decay for both plants and animals. As they decay, these organisms resupply the soil with nutrients, allowing it to support the wide variety of plant life in the area. Sunlight The amount of sunlight in tropical rainforests varies depending on how high one is in a tree. The emergent layer is composed of trees that have pushed past the others in terms of height. These trees have widespread branches, and can absorb the maximum amount of sunlight that they need to grow. The next layer down in the canopy, composed of trees with heights often above 160 feet. The canopy is tightly packed with trees vying for sunlight, creating a dense web of interlocked branches, forming somewhat of an umbrella.

"text": "abiotic factors Abiotic factors - the parts of the ecosystem that are non-living. Abiotic factors play a major role in the environment and the abiotic factors that are specifically in the Sahara Desert are temperature, bodies of water, rainfall, and soil. TEMPERATURE The Sahara Desert was deemed as a climatic desert about 5 million years ago. Ever since the Pliocene Epoch, the general climate of the Sahara has become much more humid and dry. Over time, the surface reflectivity of the Sahara has increased, and the evapotranspiration (the process of transferring water from the land to the atmosphere through the evaporation and transpiration of soil and plants) has reduced. The dry subtropical climate in the north and the dry tropical climate in the south are the most apparent throughout the Sahara. The dry subtropical climate is filled with cool winters and hot summers, whereas the dry tropical climate is filled with a dry mild winter, a hot and humid springtime, and a rainy season in the summer. In the dry subtropical regions up north, the annual daily temperature average 20 degrees celsius and the winters average around 13 degrees celsius. The summers get quite hot, but the temperatures remain relatively consistent throughout the entire year. A common aspect of the Sahara are the breezy winds that carry through in mid-spring, which are nice enough to cool off any hot day."

The earths curved shape causes the tropics (regions between 23.5N and 23.5S) most directly. Higher latitudes mean the sunlight strikes the earth and an oblique angle and light energy is more diffuse on earths surface.10Explain the global air circulation High temps in the tropics evaporate water and cause warm, wet air masses to rise and flow tower the poles. They cool and create abundant precipitation in tropical regions. The then dry air masses descend toward earth and absorb moisture, creating an arid climate among the deserts. Some of the air flows toward the poles and air masses again rise and release precipitation around 60N and 60S. The cold dry rising air flows back to the poles and then back to the equator, absorbing moisture and creating a cold climate in the polar regions.11Describe the earth's wind patterns.air flowing close to the surface creates predictable global wind patterns; land near the equator moves faster than the poles and deflects winds, creating easterly and westerly wind flow. Cooling trade winds blow from east to west in tropics, and prevailing westerlies blow from west to east in temperate zones.12What do ecologists do?observe nature, generate hypotheses, manipulate environmental variables, and observe outcomes.13Define CLIMATEthe long term prevailing weather conditions in a given area. the four components of climate are temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind.14What is the most significant influence on the distribution of organisms on land and in the oceans?"

The vegetative component, as producers, determines the types of consumers that form its various communities. Students learn how the type and quantity of available resources defines how many organisms can be supported within the community, as well as its particular resident species. With this understanding, students are able to explain how carrying capacity is determined by the limiting factors within the community and feeding relationships.

In this lesson, we will learn about ecological niches as well as the roles of organisms and the various aspects of their lives. What Is an Ecological Niche? An ecological niche is the role and position a species has in its environment; how it meets its needs for food and shelter, how it survives, and how it reproduces. A species' niche includes all of its interactions with the biotic and abiotic factors of its environment. Biotic factors are living things, while abiotic factors are nonliving things. It is advantageous for a species to occupy a unique niche in an ecosystem because it reduces the amount of competition for resources that species will encounter."

"text": "Basic Concepts Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment, including both abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) aspects of the environment. It is a very broad definition and the science of ecology tends to overlap other biological sciences. In his 1972 book Ecology, C. J. Krebs defined it more specifically:“Ecology is the scientific study of interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. ”There are many sub-disciplines of ecology including:evolutionary ecologypaleoecologybehavioral ecologycommunity ecologybiodiversityphysiological ecologypopulation ecologyecosystem ecology Ecological Levels There are three main levels of study in ecology:1. Organism At the organism level, scientists examine how an individual interacts with the biotic and abiotic elements in his environment.2. Population This gets expanded to the population level which looks at interactions of a group of individuals of the same species. It includes both how individuals interact with one another within the population and how the population as a whole interacts with its environment.3. Community The community includes all of the species within the environment. Community studies tend to focus more on how energy, nutrients, and resources, pass through an environment. Defining Environment Environments can be large like the sea or small like a drop of tap water."

If physical conditions of an ecosystem don’t allow an organism to successfully live and reproduce in that certain area, you won’t find that organism in that area. The alpine tree-line up a mountain is a good example of abiotic factors limiting distribution of a species. At a certain elevation, there is not enough oxygen for a large tree to grow and reproduce, and so you will see a stark break in tree coverage on the side of a mountain. With this example in mind, there are a few abiotic factors that students of biology and ecology should know, although there are many more: Temperature Water Availability Salinity Sunlight Rocks/Soil Temperature Temperature is one of the most important factors because of its effect on internal processes. Animals without sufficient protection against cold can see their cells lyse when the water inside the cells freezes, and the proteins of most organisms denature and become inactive at a certain temperature. Metabolic activity can be limited by extreme cold or extreme heat, which is why you only find extremophile bacteria on the interior cavern of an active volcano. Water Availability All living organisms require water to survive, and so it should not be a surprise that if there isn’t enough water in an area for an organism to survive, it will not be found there. While the best example is the lack of evergreen trees in deserts, species on the seashore or tidal wetlands can dry out if the tide recedes for to long. You can replace “water” with any substance that organisms need to survive, like oxygen as seen in the alpine tree line limit."

"text": "\"Difference Between Biotic and Abiotic Factors Posted on June 19, 2017 by Samanthi Key Difference – Biotic vs Abiotic Factors Ecosystem is a biological community in which living organisms and physical environments are interconnected to each other. It can be considered as a complex network which has many interactions with each other. It includes all living things, their interactions and all non living things in the environment. It is the foundation for the energy flow and biogeochemical cycles. Every organism in the ecosystem has its own niche and a role to play for the existence of the ecosystem. Ecosystem has two major components named biotic component and abiotic component. They are also called biotic factor and abiotic factor. Biotic factor of the ecosystem includes all living organisms while abiotic factor includes all non living things in the ecosystem. This is the key difference between biotic and abiotic factors.

"text": "Full Answer Abiotic factors are obtained from the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. Water is a crucial abiotic factor, and all living organisms use water. Just like water, oxygen is also an important abiotic factor for living organisms. Human beings and animals cannot survive without oxygen. Sunlight is the primary source of energy on earth. Sunlight is necessary for the process of photosynthesis to take place. The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen for animals, sugar-food for plants, and the plants later become food for animals. Therefore, without the sun, animals and plants cannot live. Biotic factors, which are mainly obtained from the biosphere, are capable of reproduction. Biotic factors interact with one another through three main ways."

Learn about the abiotic factors in the boreal forest. Some of the Abiotic Factors in the Boreal Forest The boreal forest, also known as the taiga, is a biome that is primarily found in the northern regions of the world, including Eurasia, northern Europe and North America. It lies between the tundra of the far north and the deciduous forests and grasslands of the temperate zone. Abiotic means \"\"without life.\"\" Abiotic factors are all of the non-living things that are components of a habitat, such as sunlight, temperature, rainfall and soil conditions. Abiotic factors play an important role in ecosystems because they determine the conditions in which the plants and animals live, and to which they must adapt. Temperature The boreal forest has very long, cold winters and short, mild summers. Because of its northern location, cold air coming down from the arctic creates frigid winters that last for 6 or 7 months. Winter temperatures range from a high of 30 to a low of -65 degrees F (-1 to -54 degrees C), while in the summer, temperatures range from a high of 70 to a low of 30 degrees F (21 to -1 degrees C)."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Ecology and Bionomics Ecosystems Biomes Grasslands What are examples of biotic and abiotic factors? Flag What are examples of biotic and abiotic factors? Answer by Jordan Zimme Confidence votes 907The term biotic means living or having lived. Examples of biotic factors would include a frog, a leaf, a dead tree, or a piece of wood. The term abiotic means non-living, or never having lived. Examples of abiotic factors would include air, water, soil, sunlight, temperature, and climate. Abiotic factors are essentially non-living components that effect the living organisms of the community. When an ecosystem is barren and unoccupied, new organisms colonizing the environment rely on favorable environmental conditions in the area to allow them to successfully live and reproduce. These environmental factors are abiotic factors. When a variety of species are present in such an ecosystem, the consequent actions of these species can affect the lives of fellow species in the area, these factors are deemed biotic factors."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The term abjection literally means \"\"the state of being cast off.\"\" The term has been explored in post-structuralism as that which inherently disturbs conventional identity and cultural concepts. [ 1] Among the most popular interpretations of abjection is Julia Kristeva 's (pursued particularly in her work Powers of Horror ). Kristeva describes subjective horror (abjection) as the feeling when an individual experiences, or is confronted by (both mentally and as a body), what Kristeva terms one's \"\"corporeal reality\"\", or a breakdown in the distinction between what is self and what is Other. [ 2]The concept of abjection is best described as the process by which, one separates one's sense of self from that which, immediately threatens one's sense of life. Abjection prevents the absolute realization of existence, completing the course of biological, social, physical, and spiritual cycles. The best representation of this concept can be imagined as one's reaction to gazing at a human cadaver, or corpse, as a direct reminder of the inevitability of death. The abject is, as such, the process that separates from one's environment what \"\"is not me. \"\" Kristeva's concept of abjection is utilized commonly and effectively to explain popular cultural narratives of horror, and discriminatory behavior manifesting in misogyny, misandry, homophobia, and genocide. The concept of abjection builds on the traditional psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. ["

"title": "http://files.libertyfund.org/pll/quotes/312.html\nThomas Paine on the absurdity of an hereditary monarchy (1791)",
"text": "\"About this Quotation: The pageantry of royal events does not hide some of its most unappealing aspects, namely, its disregard for the notion of the equal and inalienable rights of man, the idea that political sovereignty can be passed down from one generation to the next through a bloodline, and that any “legitimate” sovereign has an equal right to that political power regardless of their skills, capacities, or moral character. One of the great critics of hereditary monarchical power was Thomas Paine who had the luxury or the bad luck to be involved in two of the great world revolutions, the American and then the French. In this passage he turns a major criticism of revolution levelled by its conservative critics, like Edmuch Burke, on its head. Perhaps with a conscious reference to the “Levellers” of the English Revolution of the mid-17th century, Paine says that to call the idea of the “rights of man” a “levelling system” in which the good and the mighty are brought down to some low common denominator of the people is itself a form of “levelling” which in his view is unjustified. Paine thought the “levelling” came from the other direction, that anybody, no matter how well or badly qualified for the position of monarch they were, could become a king so long as the proprieties of bloodline, descent, and family connections were adhered to. Thus all qualifications were “levelled” in the name of an ancestral claim to political power.

"text": "\"What is Verbal Abuse? Kellie Holly Print Email Verbal abuse is the only type of abuse that can affect every single person with any type of communication ability or understanding. You may be assaulted by verbal abuse at work, at home, at school, on the road, or walking through a park, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. You could even be a victim of verbal abuse if you live alone because if your self-talk, the voice in your head, diminishes you or your belief in yourself in any way, then you subject yourself to verbal abuse when you allow your inner critic to put you down. No one, anywhere, is immune to verbal abuse. Verbal abuse is the most common way to attempt to control the behavior, thoughts, and feelings of another human being. Controlling behaviors are designed to manipulate people into doing what the abuser wants them to do under the guise of love or respect or abject fear. ( See: Why Do Perpetrators of Domestic Violence Hurt People? ) The Definition of Verbal Abuse If you define verbal abuse as name-calling delivered through speech alone, then you won't recognize it when it happens to you. But if you educate yourself on verbal abuse and its nasty symptoms, you can avoid an avalanche of future emotional pain."

You can abjure a religious faith, you can abjure your love of another person, and you can abjure the practice of using excessive force in interrogation. Abjure is a more dramatic way to declare your rejection of something you once felt or believed. When you see its Latin roots, it makes sense: from ab- (meaning \"\"away\"\") and jurare (\"\"to swear\"\"). When you abjure something, you swear it away and dissociate yourself with it. You might abjure the field of astrology after receiving a bad fortune, or you might abjure marriage after a bitter divorce.

"text": "\"Real Estate Reservation Life Estate Deeds Law and Legal Definition A life estate is where a natural person owns all the benefits of ownership in the property during their life, or the life of another, with the property going to a remainder person after the death of the life tenant. It is an interest in real or personal property that is limited in duration to the lifetime of its owner or some other designated person or persons. A life estate may be transferred, such as selling the interest to the remaindermen. A life estate may be transferred in property by means of a deed or bill of sale. A bill of sale is a document that transfers title of an asset from a seller to a buyer. Deeds are used to transfer real property and come in various forms. One common type of deed used to reserve a life estate is a warranty deed. If a deed is intended to be a general warranty deed, it should contain a phase specified by state law such as the phrase \"\"conveys and warrants\"\". These words, called operative words of conveyance, carry with them several warranties which the grantor is making to the grantee. The life tenant has certain duties and obligations to fulfill."

It comes from the Latin abjurare, \"\"to forswear\"\"). Abjuration of the realm was a type of abjuration in ancient English law that was a renunciation of citizenship, a type of self-imposed exile. The person taking the oath swore never to return to the kingdom unless by permission. This was often taken by fugitives who had taken sanctuary: In England, an oath of abjuration was taken by members of Parliament, clergy, and laymen, pledging to support the current British monarch and repudiated the right of the Stuarts and other pretender s to the throne. This oath was imposed under William III, George I and George III. It was superseded by the oath of allegiance. Another famous oath of abjuration was Plakkaat van Verlatinghe of July 26, 1581, the formal declaration of independence of the northern Low Countries from the Spanish king, Philip II. This oath was the climax of the Eighty Years' War (Dutch Revolt). Sources Black, Henry Campbell, and Bryan A. Garner (editors)."

WOMEN AS A MINORITY GROUPHelen Mayer Hacker Hunter College Although sociological literature reveals scattered references towomen as a minority group, comparable in certain resepcts to racial,ethnic, and national minorities, no systematic investigation has beenundertaken as to what extent the term \"\"minority group\"\" is applicableto women. That there has been little serious consideration of womenas a minority group among sociologists is manifested in the recentlyissued index to Thc American Journal of Sociology whereinunder the heading of \"\"Minority Groups\"\" there appears: \"\"See Jews;Morale; Negro; Races and Nationalities; Religious Groups; Sects. \"\" There is no cross-reference to women, but such reference isfound under the heading \"\"Family. \"\" Yet it may well be that regarding women as a minority group may beproductive of fresh insights and suggest leads for further research. The purpose of this paper is to apply to women some portion of thatbody of sociological theory and methodology customarily used forinvestigating such minority groups as Negroes, Jews, immigrants, etc. It may be anticipated that not only will principles alreadyestablished in the field of intergroup relations contribute to ourunderstanding of women, but that in the process of modifyingtraditional concepts and theories to fit the special case of womennew viewpoints for the fruitful reexamination of other minoritygroups will emerge. In defining the term \"\"minority group,\"\" the presence ofdiscrimination is the identifying factor. As Louis Wirth 1 has pointed out, \"\"minority group\"\" is not a statistical concept, norneed it denote an alien group. Indeed for the present discussion Ihave adopted his definition: \"\"A minority group is any group of peoplewho because of their physical or cultural characteristics, aresingled out from the others in the society in which they live fordifferential and unequal treatment, and who therefore regardthemselves as objects of collective discrimination.\"\""

"text": "Huguenot History16th Century 17th Century 18th Century - present day1530FROM 1561 1598Reformed Church Established (1530-1560)The Reformed Church was established in France by the mid-1530s. French Protestants were influenced by Martin Luther’s preaching and later established a reformed church following the teachings of John Calvin. Protestant theologians such as Calvin taught that a universal priesthood of believers could find salvation not through the interventions of a church, but through individual faith alone. The Bible was translated for the first time into the vernacular languages and the new faith was based on the study and individual interpretation of the Bible. From the 1530s to 1560, the French Protestant Church experienced a period of rapid growth. The Huguenots had their own churches, schools, garrisoned towns, manned castles and fortifications. As the Protestant Church grew, conflict with the Roman Catholic Church and the Crown intensified and the first religious refugees began to leave France.1561FROM 1562 TO 1565Wars of Religion (1561-1598)In March 1562 a group of unarmed Huguenots who were worshipping in a barn at Vassy were attacked by royal troops and over one hundred were killed. The massacre at Vassy began the Wars of Religion which would tear France apart for the next thirty-five years. During this period there was constant civil unrest and fighting between French Catholics and the Protestants, who were also called Huguenots, réligionnaires or “members of the so-called Reformed Religion.” The main rivalry centered on conflicts between the French nobility in the House of Bourbon and the House of Guise (Lorraine).15621572Charlesfort and Fort Caroline (1562-1565)Gaspard de Coligny, Admiral of the French Navy, became a leader and spokesman for the Protestant cause."

"text": "Subscribe to RSS Feed Single Quotation Marks—A Reader’s Question May 7, 2011 by Fiction Editor Beth Hill last modified May 7, 2014A reader recently asked about using single quotation marks. I answered in a comment on the article, but since I’ve not addressed single quotation marks before, I thought I might as well make an article out of my answer. This is an expanded version of my answer when reader Sara asked—Can you give me any suggestions for the use of single quotes– besides their use ‘inside’ a quotation? I’d like to use them to add emphasis to single words within text. Are there any hard and fast rules? In fiction, at least with American English (Am E), there’s really no use for single quotation marks other than as a quote within another quote (typically when a character is speaking and quoting someone else). Note: British English (Br E) can use single and double quotation marks in the reverse, with singles for dialogue and doubles for quotations within dialogue, although examples of both methods are common. Br E allows for single quotation marks when setting off a word as a word, but Am E requires double quotation marks for the same purpose. The word he was looking for was “abjuration.” ( Am E)The word he was looking for was ‘abjuration’. ("

"title": "http://www.cmri.org/04-galileo-galilei.shtml\nThe Case of Galileo Gailei",
"text": "The Case of Galileo Gailei By Rev. Fr. Gabriel Lavery, CMRIAt a recent Fatima Conference at Mount St. Michael, I had the great pleasure of listening to a talk by Dr. Leonard Giblin, a Catholic scientist. It was refreshing to hear him explain in part of his lecture the true history behind the case of Galileo, an unfortunate event often used to attack the Catholic Church. It interested me so much that I decided to research it further. Most people have been taught that Galileo was unjustly condemned by the Catholic Church for his scientific views on the solar system, and that this was due to an opposition to and ignorance of science on the part of the Church. Some even say he was tortured and imprisoned. The true facts of the case of Galileo, however, do not in any way support the view that the Catholic Church is opposed to true science. A number of non-Catholic authors who have been honest enough to research the case do not agree with this attack on the Church. One in particular, Sherwood Taylor, became a Catholic as a result of his research. [ 1] So what is the true history of the case of Galileo?"

"text": "\"The Inquisition was a permanent institution in the Catholic Church charged with the eradication of heresies. Inquisition The Inquisition was a medieval church court instituted to seek out and prosecute heretics. The term is applied to the institution itself, which was episcopal or papal, regional or local; to the personnel of the tribunal; and to the judicial procedure followed by the court. Notoriously harsh in its procedures, the Inquisition was defended during the Middle Ages by appeal to biblical practices and to the church father Saint Augustine, who had interpreted Luke 14:23 as endorsing the use of force against heretics. Development and Institution Problems with sects like the Albigenses (Cathari) and Waldenses in the 12th century first led to the episcopal Inquisition. Often at the instigation of secular rulers, bishops were urged to investigate and deal locally with heretics, since they were seen as a threat to both the ecclesiastical and the social order. Papal documents as well as the Second, Third, and Fourth Lateran Councils (1139, 1179, 1215) prescribed imprisonment and confiscation of property as punishment for heresy and threatened to excommunicate princes who failed to punish heretics. The papal Inquisition was formally instituted by Pope Gregory IX in 1231. Following a law of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, enacted for Lombardy in 1224 and extended to the entire empire in 1232, Gregory ordered convicted heretics to be seized by the secular authorities and burned. Like Frederick, Gregory also mandated that heretics be sought out and tried before a church court."

"text": "\"Real Estate Deeds Law and Legal Definition A deed is the written document which transfers title (ownership) or an interest in real property to another person. The deed must describe the real property, name the party transferring the property (grantor), the party receiving the property (grantee) and be signed and notarized by the grantor. To complete the transfer (conveyance) the deed must be recorded in the office of the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. There are two basic types of deeds: a warranty deed, which guarantees that the grantor owns title, and the quitclaim deed, which transfers only that interest in the real property which the grantor actually has. The quitclaim is often used among family members or from one joint owner to the other when there is little question about existing ownership, or just to clear the title. A written document for the transfer of land or other real property from one person to another. A quitclaim deed conveys only such rights as the grantor has. A warranty deed conveys specifically described rights which together comprise good title. A deed may be avoided by alterations made in it subsequent to its execution, when made by the party himself, whether they are material or immaterial, and by any material alteration, even when made by a stranger. The disagreement of those parties whose assent to the transfer is necessary may invalidate the deed."

RESPA requires that consumers receive disclosures at various times in the transaction and outlaws kickbacks that increase the cost of settlement services. RESPA covers loans secured with a mortgage placed on a one-to-four family residential property. These include most purchase loans, assumptions, refinances, property improvement loans, and equity lines of credit. HUD's Office of RESPA and Interstate Land Sales is responsible for enforcing RESPA. For example, Section 8 of RESPA prohibits a person from giving or accepting any thing of value for referrals of settlement service business related to a federally related mortgage loan. It also prohibits a person from giving or accepting any part of a charge for services that are not performed. Section 9 of RESPA prohibits home sellers from requiring home buyers to purchase title insurance from a particular company. Section 6 provides borrowers with important consumer protections relating to the servicing of their loans. Under Section 6 of RESPA, borrowers who have a problem with the servicing of their loan (including escrow account questions), should contact their loan servicer in writing, outlining the nature of their complaint."

"text": "Brett & Kate Mc Kay | November 1, 2008A Man's Life, Manvotionals, Relationships & Family, Social Skills Manvotional: Lord Chesterfield on the Art of Gentlemanly Conversation Phillip Stranhope, better known as Lord Chesterfield, was a British statesman and and man of letters. While his son was attending Westminster School, Lord Chesterfield wrote a series of letters giving advice to his on becoming a man and, more importantly, a gentleman. In this letter dated October 16, 1747, Lord Chesterfield counsels his son the art of gentlemanly conversation. Observe carefully what pleases you in others, and probably the same thing in you will please others. If you are pleased with the complaisance and attention of others to your humors, your tastes, or your weaknesses, depend upon it the same complaisance and attention, on your part to theirs, will equally please them. Take the tone of the company that you are in, and do not pretend to give it; be serious, gay, or even trifling, as you find the present humor of the company; this is an attention due from every individual to the majority. Do not tell stories in company; there is nothing more tedious and disagreeable; if by chance you know a very short story, and exceedingly applicable to the present subject of conversation, tell it in as few words as possible; and even then, throw out that you do not love to tell stories; but that the shortness of it tempted you. Of all things, banish the egotism out of your conversation, and never think of entertaining people with your own personal concerns, or private, affairs; though they are interesting to you, they are tedious and impertinent to everybody else; besides that, one cannot keep one’s own private affairs too secret. Whatever you think your own excellencies may be, do not affectedly display them in company; nor labor, as many people do, to give that turn to the conversation, which may supply you with an opportunity of exhibiting them. If they are real, they will infallibly be discovered, without your pointing them out yourself, and with much more advantage."

Some of them were clearly men of talent and energy. Men of Competence and Corruption His secretary of state, Charles Evans Hughes, the former presidential candidate, was one of the ablest of his choices. Andrew Mellon, the fabulously wealthy Pittsburgh financier, proved to be a powerful and effective though rigidly partisan secretary of the treasury.

Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more — all for only $19.99... (Greek psyche; Latin anima; French ame; German Seele ). The question of the reality of the soul and its distinction from the body is among the most important problems of philosophy, for with it is bound up the doctrine of a future life. Various theories as to the nature of the soul have claimed to be reconcilable with the tenet of immortality, but it is a sure instinct that leads us to suspect every attack on the substantiality or spirituality of the soul as an assault on the belief in existence after death. The soul may be defined as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated. The term \"\"mind\"\" usually denotes this principle as the subject of our conscious states, while \"\"soul\"\" denotes the source of our vegetative activities as well. That our vital activities proceed from a principle capable of subsisting in itself, is the thesis of the substantiality of the soul: that this principle is not itself composite, extended, corporeal, or essentially and intrinsically dependent on the body, is the doctrine of spirituality. If there be a life after death, clearly the agent or subject of our vital activities must be capable of an existence separate from the body. The belief in an animating principle in some sense distinct from the body is an almost inevitable inference from the observed facts of life. Even uncivilized peoples arrive at the concept of the soul almost without reflection, certainly without any severe mental effort."

"text": "Combat experience during the Revolution helped him develop a continental viewpoint. After admission to the bar in 1780, he entered the Virginia assembly and rose rapidly in state politics. He had good looks, a charismatic personality, and a debater’s gifts. A Federalist in politics, he championed the Constitution in his state’s ratification convention. John Jay, the first chief justice, who had resigned, described the Court as lacking ‘weight’ and ‘respect.’ After Marshall no one could make that complaint. In 1801 he and his colleagues had to meet in a tiny room in the basement of the Capitol because the planners of Washington, D. C., had forgotten to provide space for the Supreme Court. Marshall made the Court a prestigious, coordinate branch of the government. In 1824 Senator Martin Van Buren, a political enemy, conceded that the Court attracted ‘idolatry’ and its chief was admired ‘as the ablest Judge now sitting upon any judicial bench in the world. ’During Marshall’s thirty-four years as chief justice, he gave content to the Constitution’s omissions, clarified its ambiguities, and added breathtaking sweep to the powers it conferred."

"text": "\"The city's life is for sale, and it would kill itself if it could find a buyer — Jugurtha of Numidia Pattern of decline Rome's failure to adapt its city-state style government to ruling an empire triggered a century long pattern of events that would eventually lead to fall of the old oligarchy led by the Senate. Either out of genuine concern for reform, desire for personal gain and glory, or a combination of the two, an individual politician or general would introduce new, but also disruptive practices. These would weaken Roman customs, traditions, and institutions, especially the Senate. That would create the need and open the way for new figures to rise up that would introduce even more disruptive practices, and so on. Thus the cycle would keep repeating until the old order was destroyed. There were five main figures this process brought to the forefront of Roman politics and who in turn perpetuated the cycle, allowing the rise of the next figure: Tiberius Gracchus, Gaius Gracchus, Marius, Sulla, and Julius Caesar. Not until Caesar's nephew and heir, Octavian, seized power would the cycle be broken and a new more stable order established in place of senatorial rule. First attempts at reform: the Gracchi In 133 B. C. E., Tiberius Gracchus became tribune. He saw that many of Rome's troubles revolved around the decline of the free peasantry who were flocking into the cities. Therefore, he proposed a bill to give land to the idle mob and re-establish them on their own farms."

"text": "\"North Carolina North Carolina came near being the first of the permanent English colonies in America. Five voyages were made under the Raleigh charter of 1584 with the view of planting a permanent colony on the soil that became North Carolina; but the effort ended in failure, and almost a century passed when other hands carried into effect the noble ambition of Raleigh. Again, the people who founded Virginia had intended to settle in the vicinity of Roanoke Island, but a storm changed their course, and the first colony was planted in the valley of the James. The first settlements in North Carolina that were destined to live were made by Virginians in 1653, on the banks of the Chowan and Roanoke rivers, in a district called Albemarle from the Duke of Albemarle. A few years later men from New England made a settlement, which they soon abandoned, on the Cape Fear River. In 1665, Sir John Yeamans, an English nobleman of broken fortunes, came from the Barbadoes with a company of planters and joined the few New Englanders who had remained on the Cape Fear River. This district was called Clarendon. Meantime Charles II had issued a charter, in 1663, granting to eight of his favorites the vast territory 1 south of Virginia, and two years later the charter was enlarged and the boundaries defined and made to extend from twenty-nine degrees north latitude to thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, the southern boundary of Virginia, and from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the \"\"South Sea,\"\" or Pacific Ocean, on the west. The grant embraced nearly all the southern portion of the present United States, and the government it created was, like that of Maryland, modeled after the palatinate of Durham. Of the eight men to whom the grant was made the leading spirit was Lord Ashley Cooper, 2afterward the Earl of Shaftesbury, whose name is still borne by the Ashley and Cooper rivers of South Carolina ."

As a student at the University of Pennsylvania, the young Pemberton decided he wished to have a career as an engineer. Believing the United States Military Academy the best way gain this education, he applied to West Point, using his family's connection to President Andrew Jackson to secure an appointment. He was admitted to the academy, where he was the roommate and closest friend of George G. Meade. Pemberton graduated near the middle of the class of 1837 before being commissioned as an officer in the 4th Artillery. Pemberton's antebellum career was typical of many officers of that time. He served in the Second Seminole War in Florida and aided in campaigns against the Cherokees in the west before serving under Zachary Taylor during the Mexican war. After the war, Pemberton married a Virginian, Martha Thompson. In the absence of any record of his thoughts on states' rights or slavery, many historians have come to believe Pemberton's marriage to this Norfolk native was the primary reason he sided with the Confederacy. With the secession of his wife's home state in 1861, Pemberton resigned from the Federal army and in June of that same year was made a brigadier general in the Confederate Army."

"text": "\"The final text of the slave trade provision was designed to disguise what the Convention had done. The clause read: \"\"The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person. \"\" Article 1 Section 9 of the Constitution It is important to understand that the clause did not require an end to the trade in 1808. Moreover, it reflected the assumption, held by almost everyone at the Convention, that the Deep South would grow faster than the rest of the nation, and that by 1808 the states that most wanted to continue the trade would have enough political power, and enough allies, to prevent an end to it. Ending the trade would require that a bill pass both houses of Congress and be signed by the president. That process would give the supporters of the trade three opportunities to stop such a bill. The slave trade provision was a significant factor in the debates over ratification, but its impact was complicated. Opponents of the Constitution, in both the North and the South, roundly condemned the clause. On the other hand, supporters of the Constitution–even those who were ambivalent or hostile to slavery–praised it. Northern supporters of the Constitution were at a rhetorical disadvantage in this debate, but they nevertheless had to engage the issue."

"text": "\"The Seljuk Turks Although Islam experienced a golden age under the Abbasids, the empire gradually fell apart as the Arabs became less warlike and one province after another broke away. Weak caliphs under the power of mameluke bodyguards, the size of the empire, and the disaffection of Shiites and various ethnic groups all led to this disintegration. Fortunately for Islam, a new people came in to revitalize it: the Seljuk Turks. Various Turkish tribes had been known for centuries from the borders of China to the borders of Islam. Fortunately, the Persians and the Arabs had held them in check. Instead of overwhelming the empire, these Turkish tribesmen, infiltrated it, coming in as mamelukes and mercenaries whom the Arabs relied on more and more, much as the Romans had relied on Germanic troops. An even more interesting parallel is between the most successful Germanic tribe in Europe, the Franks, and the most successful Turkish tribe in Islam, the Seljuks. The Seljuk Turks, named after a semi-legendary leader and founder, were the first Turkish tribe to convert to Sunnite Islam, thus gaining the favor of the civilized population in much the same way as the Franks' conversion to Catholic Christianity had made them more popular with their subjects. The Seljuks also came to the aid of Islam's spiritual leader, the caliph, who was under the thumb of a Shiite dynasty known as the Buwayids, much like the Franks under Pepin and Charlemagne had protected the Pope from similar difficulties. And in each case, the spiritual leader granted his protectors the title and responsibility for defending the faith."

Smith Dies Here at 70; 4 Times Governor By THE NEW YORK TIMESAlfred Emanuel Smith, four times Governor of this State, who rose from the sidewalks of New York to eminence in public life and in the hearts of many Americans, died early today at the age of 70 in Rockefeller Institute Hospital. The end came at 6:28 A. M., after a sinking spell which began when the former Governor's pulse weakened at about 2 o'clock. Members of Mr. Smith's family had been sent for earlier, as well as his personal physician, and the Rev. John Healy, pastor of St. Vincent Ferrer Church at Sixty-sixth Street and Lexington Avenue, which Mr. Smith attended. In failing health since the death of his wife last May 4, the man whose career had taken him to the high places of politics, of religious life and of philanthropy had entered the hospital on Sept. 22. His personal physician, Dr. Raymond P. Sullivan, caused him to be transferred there from St. Vincent's Hospital, which he had entered on Aug. 10, with an announcement at that time that he had suffered from heat exhaustion. Received Last Rites His condition became critical last Saturday, and he received the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church from Bishop Francis A. Mc Intyre. Earlier Pope Pius XII, through Archbishop Francis J. Spellman, had transmitted the apostolic benediction. For a time, however, it seemed that the former Governor might rally despite his age, and his condition gave cause for hope up to an early hour this morning. Started as a Newsboy From a newsboy and fishmonger to four times Governor of the Empire State and the candidacy of his party for President, the rise of Alfred E. Smith had no exact parallel in American history. There have been country boys in plenty, such as Lincoln and Garfield, who rose to the heights, but no other city urchin, earning a precarious living in the streets in his early days, ever rose so superior to his lack of youthful advantages and had so distinguished a public career."

[ 1]The terms hip dysplasia, fibrous dysplasia, and renal dysplasia refer to an abnormal development, at macroscopic or microscopical level. Myelodysplastic syndromes, or dysplasia of blood-forming cells, show increased numbers of immature cells in the bone marrow, and a decrease in mature, functional cells in the blood. Contents [ hide ]1 Epithelial dysplasia1.1 Examples1.2 Screening1.3 Microscopic changes1.4 Dysplasia vs. carcinoma in situ vs. invasive carcinoma2 See also3 References4 Further reading Epithelial dysplasia [ edit]Epithelial dysplasia consists of an expansion of immature cells (such as cells of the ectoderm ), with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. Dysplasia is often indicative of an early neoplastic process. The term dysplasia is typically used when the cellular abnormality is restricted to the originating tissue, as in the case of an early, in-situ neoplasm. Dysplasia, in which cell maturation and differentiation are delayed, can be contrasted with metaplasia, in which cells of one mature, differentiated type are replaced by cells of another mature, differentiated type. Examples [ edit]Examples of dysplasia include epithelial dysplasia of the cervix ( cervical intraepithelial neoplasia – a disorder commonly detected by an abnormal pap smear) consisting of an increased population of immature (basal-like) cells which are restricted to the mucosal surface, and have not invaded through the basement membrane to the deeper soft tissues."

"text": "According to Stedman's Medical Dictionary, a vitamin is 'one of a group of organic substances, present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs, that are essential to normal metabolism.' As defined, vitamins are present in very small quantities in most foods and it is this fact that leads to the manufacture of vitamin supplements for dogs, cats, and people. Not only are vitamins naturally present in only small amounts, they are also essential for life. The importance of vitamins has been known for only a short time, however, their actual effects were demonstrated long ago. Around 400 B. C., the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, first advocated using liver to cure night blindness. We now know that the essential component of the liver was vitamin A and it was the lack of vitamin A that caused the night blindness. Beriberi, the once feared paralytic disease of humans, was found to be curable by feeding unpolished rice. It is now known that the unpolished rice was rich in the vitamin B1 - thiamine. Low thiamine levels were the real cause of beriberi and a simple diet change could cure the paralysis. The primary vitamins are normally identified as vitamin A, D, E, K, C, and B complex."

"text": "MDS Subtypes Print Glossary There are several kinds (subtypes) of MDS. Doctors classify MDS subtypes according to different factors. Doctors often use one of two systems to classify them: the French, American, British (FAB) classification system or World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. Doctors also use the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) to more narrowly define the degree of the disease's severity, determine patient risk factors and plan treatment. FAB Classification The table below shows the FAB classification system used by many doctors. The five FAB subtypes are based on bone marrow appearance and blood cell counts. Subtypes Characteristics Refractory anemia (RA)Low levels of red cells (anemia)Mild to moderate decreases in levels of white cells and platelets Also called myelodysplasia Refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS)RA, but with an abnormal accumulation of iron granules in developing cells called sideroblasts Also called acquired sideroblastic anemia or myelodysplasia Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB)RA, but with clear signs of abnormal blast cells Sometimes called oligoblastic myelogenous leukemia to better describe the disorder Also referred to as smoldering leukemia but may not always progress slowly Refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation (RAEB-T)RA, with a bone marrow blast count of 20 percent to 30 percent Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)Red cells, white cells and platelets may be affected An increase in the number of monocytes (a type of white cell)A small number of abnormal blast cells in the marrow WHO Classification A newer system sometimes used by doctors is the WHO classification system. It classifies MDS according to factors that differ from those of the FAB system: Considers molecular and chromosomal (cytogenetic) data Defines RAEB-T to be a leukemia rather than a subtype of MDSDefines patients with more than 20 percent blasts in marrow as having acute myeloid leukemia (AML)Includes the category of myelodysplastic syndromes/ myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN)Includes juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) in the MDS/MPD category Includes the following subtypes:5q- syndrome Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD)Unclassifiable MDS (MDS-u)Related Links International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS)Myelodysplastic Syndromes Signs and Symptoms Diagnosis MDS Subtypes The International Prognostic Scoring System Treatment Childhood MDSPrevious Article Diagnosis Next Article The International Prognostic Scoring System"

"text": "\"Myelodysplastic Syndromes Mikkael A. Sekeres Michael Keng Published: April 2014Contents Definition Historically, the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have been referred to as oligoblastic leukemia, refractory anemia, smoldering acute leukemia, or preleukemia. They represent a group of heterogeneous hematopoietic disorders derived from an abnormal multipotent progenitor cell, characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, bone marrow failure, peripheral blood cytopenias, and reduced survival. MDS may be classified as indolent or aggressive (lower- or higher-risk), depending on life expectancy and likelihood of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Back to Top Prevalence and Risk Factors The precise incidence rate of MDS in the United States is still evolving. This may be in part due to the difficulty of defining MDS in the setting of changing classification systems. However, most studies report that MDS affects between 12,000 and 20,000 people in the United States each year. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) and North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, Inc. (NAACCR) data report an incidence rate of 4.5 per 100,000 people in 2006. In general, MDS is a disease of older adults, with a median age at diagnosis of approximately 71 years with a male predominance. With the exception of treatment-induced MDS (MDS that develops following chemotherapy or radiation treatment for another cancer), age of onset prior to 50 is uncommon. Risk factors for developing MDS include the following: Age: Population studies in England have found that the crude yearly incidence rate increases from 0.5 per 100,000 people younger than 50 years to 89 per 100,000 people older than 80 years."

Aging changes occur in all of the body's cells, tissues, and organs, and these changes affect the functioning of all body systems. Living tissue is made up of cells. There are many different types of cells, but all have the same basic structure. Tissues are layers of similar cells that perform a specific function. The different kinds of tissues group together to form organs. There are four basic types of tissue: Connective tissue supports other tissues and binds them together. This includes bone, blood, and lymph tissues, as well as the tissues that give support and structure to the skin and internal organs. Epithelial tissue provides a covering for deeper body layers. The skin and the linings of the passages inside the body, such as the gastrointestinal system, are made of epithelial tissue."

The syndrome can be seen in children with a physical illness, but the term is most often taken to mean failure to thrive due to psychosocial effects such as maternaldeprivation. The syndrome was first noticed when European psychiatrists studied thedevelopment of babies who had spent the first five years of their lives in institutions where theywere deprived of the emotional warmth of a mother, father, or other primary caregiver. Characteristics of the failure to thrive syndrome include lack of physical growth (for example,weight and height below the third percentile for age) and below normal achievement in fine andgross motor, social-adaptive, and language skills as assessed by psychometric testing using a tool such as the Denver Developmental Screening Test. Additionally, the child with thissyndrome displays withdrawing behavior, avoidance of eye contact, and stiffness or flaccidposture when held. These children often have a history of irritability, feeding problems, anddisturbed sleep patterns. Parents of infants with failure to thrive syndrome typically display feelings of concern andinadequacy. The infant who is feeding poorly and is irritable may elicit a response in the caregiverthat reflects tension and frustration. The need for comfort and nurturing by the infant may not be met, and this may lead to a cycle that exacerbates feeding problems."

A fracture occurs when force exerted against a bone is stronger than the bone can structurally withstand. The most common sites for bone fractures are the wrist, ankle and hip. Treatment includes immobilising the bone with a plaster cast, or surgically inserting metal rods or plates to hold the bone pieces together. Some complicated fractures may need surgery and surgical traction. In most cases, your cast will be removed after a few weeks, but you must treat your limb with care for at least the next month or so.

"text": "Pancytopenia Pancytopenia flow chart Pancytopenia is defined as anemia (typically non-regenerative), neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia. The term implies that the bone marrow is responsible for the cytopenias, with very few extramedullary diseases producing this constellation of hematologic abnormalities. Exceptions are severe bacterial sepsis which can result in anemia of inflammatory disease, severe neutropenia with a left shift and toxic change from inflammation, and thrombocytopenia due to concurrent endotoxemia (sequestration) or disseminated intravascular coagulation (consumption). Cytauxzoon felis and feline infectious peritonitis can also result in similar hemogram changes, likely due to similar reasons. The following are mechanisms of pancytopenia. They can only be distinguished by aspiration of the bone marrow. Bone marrow aplasia: This is characterized by a lack of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow, leaving only fat and stromal cells (lymphocytes, plasma cells, mast cells, histiocytes, fibroblasts) and occurs due to destruction or suppression of early multipotential hematopoietic stem cells. This can be due to bracken fern poisoning (cattle), drugs (chloramphenicol, griseofulvin, trimethroprim sulfonamides, chemotherapeutic agents, albendazole, fenbendazole), hormones (estrogen), immune-mediated disease, infectious agents ( Ehrlichia canis ). A syndrome of bovine neonatal pancytopenia has been identified in calves that present with clinical signs of hemorrhage. This is attributed to immune-mediated destruction of precursors in marrow as a consequence of bovine virus diarrhea vaccination of dams, with calves receiving offending allo-antibodies from colostrum."

"text": "There are many subtypes of MDS. The subtype is determined using the results of blood and bone marrow tests. ( Learn about these tests and how MDS is diagnosed. ) MDS subtype is determined using either the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system or the French-American-British (FAB) classification system, but the WHO classification is more commonly used today. Both systems take into account a number of features of the abnormal cells. These include the number and type of cytopenias (shortages of specific types of blood cells) and the number of blasts in the bone marrow and circulating blood. Once our doctors know the MDS subtype, we can select the most-effective treatment, decide when to start therapy, and predict the course of the disease. WHO Classification System for MDS Subtypes The WHO classification system was updated in 2016. The WHO subtypes depend on the percentage of myeloblasts in the bone marrow, the presence of abnormal red blood cell precursors (called ringed sideroblasts) in the bone marrow, the number of abnormal cell types known as dysplastic lineages in the bone marrow, and the genetic profile of the bone marrow cells. The characteristics of the most common subtypes of MDS are: MDS with single-lineage dysplasia (MDS-SLD)MDS with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD)MDS with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS)MDS with isolated del (5q)MDS with excess blasts (MDS-EB)How Can I Learn More about My Prognosis?"

Share Email Print Feedback Overview of the Knee Extensor Mechanism Background The extensor mechanism of the knee consists of the quadriceps muscle group, quadriceps tendon, patella, patellar retinaculum, patellar ligament, and adjacent soft tissues. Injuries to the extensor mechanism are common and consist of chronic degenerative injuries, overuse injuries, and acute trauma. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]Patient education For patient information resources, see the Breaks, Fractures, and Dislocations Center, as well as Knee Injury and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Normal anatomy of the knee extensor compartment An understanding of normal anatomy and biomechanics of the knee extensor mechanism is necessary to comprehend the imaging of extensor mechanism injuries. The extensor mechanism of the knee begins above the hip with the origin of the rectus femoris muscle on the anterior inferior iliac spine. The remainder of the quadriceps muscle group, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis originate on the femoral shaft. The quadriceps tendon represents the confluence of the 4 muscle tendon units and inserts on the superior pole of the patella. The quadriceps tendon has 3 laminae, including (1) the most superficial lamina, which is formed by the rectus femoris; (2) the intermediate lamina, which is formed by the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis; and (3) the deep lamina, which is formed by the vastus intermedius. Laterally, the iliotibial band supports the extensor mechanism and is an important lateral stabilizer of the patellofemoral joint. It originates above the hip joint as a wide fascial band, originating from the gluteal muscles, tensor fascia lata, and vastus lateralis."

MDS is classified into several different subtypes based on the following features: Blood cell counts Percentage of blasts in the bone marrow Risk that it will turn into AMLIt is also classified as either primary MDS or secondary MDS. And, MDS is given a stage called an IPSS-R score. These classifications help doctors plan treatment and predict a patient’s prognosis, which is the chance of recovery. Each is described below in more detail. WHO system for MDS subtypes The World Health Organization (WHO) developed a classification system for MDS to standardize the definitions of the different subtypes.

Although it is a very rare disorder, study of this and other bone marrow failure syndromes has improved scientific understanding of the mechanisms of normal bone marrow function and development of cancer. Among those affected, the majority develop cancer, most often acute myelogenous leukemia, and 90% develop bone marrow failure (the inability to produce blood cells) by age 40. About 60–75% of people have congenital defects, commonly short stature, abnormalities of the skin, arms, head, eyes, kidneys, and ears, and developmental disabilities. Around 75% of people have some form of endocrine problems, with varying degrees of severity. FA is the result of a genetic defect in a cluster of proteins responsible for DNA repair. [ 1]Treatment with androgens and hematopoietic (blood cell) growth factors can help bone marrow failure temporarily, but the long-term treatment is bone marrow transplant if a donor is available. [ 2] Because of the genetic defect in DNA repair, cells from people with FA are sensitive to drugs that treat cancer by DNA crosslinking, such as mitomycin C. The typical age of death was 30 years in 2000. [ 2]FA occurs in about one per 130,000 births, with a higher frequency in Ashkenazi Jews in Israel and Afrikaners in South Africa. ["

However, due to age and various other factors, the bones become weak and fragile and may get affected by some common disorders. The adult human skeletal system comprises 206 bones and the associated cartilage, tendons, ligaments as well as teeth. The bones are connected to each other through ligaments and to muscles through tendons. The skeletal system forms a supportive framework for the human body, and provides stable anchoring points for soft tissues. The skeletal system not only protects vital organs like brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc., but also acts as a reservoir of minerals, like calcium and phosphorous which are supplied to various body parts through blood. The process of formation and development of blood cells (hematopoiesis) occurs in the bone marrow of long bones. Along with the muscles, our skeletal system forms a leverage system that helps us to move our limbs and perform various activities. The tissues of the skeletal system are affected by degenerative wear and tear, infectious agents, genetic anomalies, etc."

"text": "Myelodysplastic Syndrome Filed in Trivia on March 19, 2015 with no comments Formerly called pre-leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or MDS refers to a group of hematological ailments that occur due to abnormal production or functioning of the myeloid blood cells, i.e., malformed or malfunctioning blood cells. Myelodysplastic syndrome primarily manifests as anemia because of reduced RBC production. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. Any kind of problem in the stem cells of the bone marrow can cause its progressive failure and decrease in the count of blood producing cells eventually resulting in low blood count. Subsequently, there is an increase in the number of immature myeloblasts which cannot form into mature RBCs. In nearly 30 percent of people with myelodysplastic syndrome, the condition may deteriorate and advance to acute myelogenous leukemia. Such progression may happen in some months or some years after the initial development of MDS. Sponsored link Myelodysplastic syndrome has no known cure. Treatment is focused on managing the adverse symptoms and preventing the onset of health complications. Bone marrow transplant can help increase the life expectancy in some patients."

"text": "Liver Function Tests (LFTs)The liver carries out numerous synthetic, excretion and detoxification functions, however only a minority of these can be measured by levels of products in the blood. Liver function tests (LFTs) measure the concentrations of various different proteins and enzymes in the blood that are either produced by liver cells or released when liver cells are damaged. Liver function tests are very common investigations carried out in people with suspected liver disease. Specific patterns of results can tell your doctor the likely type of liver disease so they can decide whether any further tests are required. Liver function tests can also help tell how severely the liver is damaged and help monitor your response to drugs and other treatments. The procedure The term “liver function tests” is actually a misnomer as several of the tests do not measure total liver function at all. Levels of enzymes known as aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase are used to detect damage to liver cells and obstruction by bile (a substance produced by liver cells to help digest fats) respectively. Thus, liver tests can be divided into measures of liver function, cell injury and biliary obstruction. No single test is able to provide an overall measure of liver function. Instead the group of values measured is interpreted collectively to determine the likelihood of liver disease, possible causes and the severity of disease."

Almost 13 million American adults require drug therapy to meet the low-density lipoprotein goals set by the National Cholesterol Education Program. Attempts to achieve these goals through diet and exercise are often unsuccessful. Major studies in recent years have demonstrated that statins decrease low-density lipoprotein levels, coronary events and overall mortality. Statins are the most commonly prescribed lipid-lowering agents because they are effective, well tolerated and easy to administer. Niacin has beneficial effects on all of the main lipid components, and new extended-release tablets have fewer adverse effects.

Eclampsia and preeclampsia account for about half of these cases worldwide, and these conditions have been recognized and described for years despite the general lack of understanding of the disease. [ 1] In the fifth century, Hippocrates noted that headaches, convulsions, and drowsiness were ominous signs associated with pregnancy. In 1619, Varandaeus coined the term eclampsia in a treatise on gynecology. [ 2, 3]Definition Eclampsia, which is considered a complication of severe preeclampsia, is commonly defined as new onset of grand mal seizure activity and/or unexplained coma during pregnancy or postpartum in a woman with signs or symptoms of preeclampsia. [ 4, 5] It typically occurs during or after the 20th week of gestation or in the postpartum period. Nonetheless, eclampsia in the absence of hypertension with proteinuria has been demonstrated to occur in 38% of cases reported in the United Kingdom. [ 6] Similarly, hypertension was absent in 16% of cases reviewed in the United States. [ 4]The clinical manifestations of maternal preeclampsia are hypertension and proteinuria with or without coexisting systemic abnormalities involving the kidneys, liver, or blood. There is also a fetal manifestation of preeclampsia involving fetal growth restriction, reduced amniotic fluid, and abnormal fetal oxygenation. ["

"text": "\"Approach to the patient with abnormal liver biochemical and function tests Author: Lawrence S Friedman, MD Section Editor: Sanjiv Chopra, MD, MACP Deputy Editor: Shilpa Grover, MD, MPH, AGAFINTRODUCTIONAbnormal liver biochemical and function tests are frequently detected in asymptomatic patients since many screening blood test panels routinely include them [ 1 ]. A population-based survey in the United States conducted between 1999 and 2002 estimated that an abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was present in 8.9 percent of respondents. Although the term \"\"liver function tests\"\" (LFTs) is used commonly, it is imprecise and potentially misleading since many of the tests reflecting the health of the liver are not direct measures of its function. Furthermore, the commonly used liver biochemical tests may be abnormal even in patients with a healthy liver. This topic review will provide an overview on the evaluation of patients with abnormal liver biochemical and function tests. Our approach is largely consistent with the 2017 American College of Gastroenterology clinical guidelines on evaluation of abnormal liver biochemistries [ 2 ]. Detailed discussions of the individual tests are presented separately. ( See \"\"Liver biochemical tests that detect injury to hepatocytes\"\" and \"\"Enzymatic measures of cholestasis (eg, alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase)\"\" and \"\"Classification and causes of jaundice or asymptomatic hyperbilirubinemia\"\" and \"\"Tests of the liver's biosynthetic capacity (eg, albumin, coagulation factors, prothrombin time)\"\" . ) COMMON LIVER BIOCHEMICAL AND FUNCTION TESTSAlanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin are biochemical markers of liver injury.

There is a wide variety of causes for elevated liver enzymes (commonly, although incorrectly, called liver function tests, or LFTs). Elevated LFTs can only be interpreted in the context of a full clinical history -- that means that only a trained health care provider can determine the underlying cause of elevated LFTs in a particular individual. An important fact to remember is that while lab results (eg, elevated LFTs) are important in medicine, lab results alone are very infrequently diagnostic of a particular condition. When analyzed by trained personnel, they aid tremendously in reaching a diagnosis, but they absolutely never replace a proper clinical history. That means that for us patients, we cannot expect solid answers to questions like \"\"why do I have elevated LFTs?\"\" unless we ask our physicians."

"text": "What LFT Levels Mean and Why Doctors Test Themwritten by: angiem1981•edited by: Diana Cooper•updated: 11/16/2010The liver panel test, called the LFT blood test, has multiple purposes. Whether screening for disease or inflammation or checking levels during a routine physical, the results can reveal important information about your body. Why It's Needed There are a variety of reasons that a liver test such as this is necessary. Those on certain medication may have the LFT on a routine basis so that the physician can monitor the effectiveness of a medication, adjust dosage or determine if the patient is a good candidate for that particular therapy. In addition to this, the liver panel test is also used to screen for disorders of the liver. This can include conditions such as jaundice, liver diseases and bile duct obstruction for example. The physician may also order the LFT blood test for the patient that is known to have a liver problem to evaluate the extent of the health condition. However, these are only a few of the reasons why your physician may have ordered this type of test as it has multiple uses. How is the LFT Performed? The LFT is a simple blood test that is routinely performed in numerous different medical centers."

"text": "Lab Testing for Safety (reviewed 12/2014)How often should you do lab tests to monitor safety with these medications? Valproate (divalproex; Depakote)Carbamazepine (Tegretol, Carbatrol)My Interpretation My Opinion Valproate (divalproex; Depakote) (The following statements derive primarily from a Psychiatric Times review in 2004 by Ron Pies, which cites numerous primary sources including an important one from a German consensus conference Konig. I trust Dr. Pies as a reliable source, based on the value of many previous, thorough reviews — which is important, because what is said here goes against the usual more fearful recommendations. ) Valproate is associated with liver failure and death — in about one in 40,000 cases, almost all of whom were under 2 years of age or had other medical problems besides epilepsy (for which valproate is a standard medication). However, valproate can much more frequently cause mild increases in liver enzymes. Most experts recommend stopping the medication if routine liver enzyme tests (ALT, AST) are increased above normal — one hears “twice normal” or “three times normal” for such recommendations, though I’ve not seen data on which this might be based (perhaps it is known by liver experts that increases less than these levels are not associated with long-term bad outcomes). However, Dr. Pies notes that these increases may be temporary, returning to normal on their own, and that repeating the test even several times is a good idea before just stopping the medication. Finally, Dr. Pies emphasizes that patients feel sick when they have serious problems with their liver reacting to valproate, and that symptoms of nausea, and other flu-like symptoms precede the liver test abnormalities. On this basis, citing the German consensus conference, he concludes:. . . rather than focusing solely on [ALT/AST], we ought to be asking our patients questions such as, “are you generally feeling well lately?”"

They are produced by the liver and the immune system. Albumin makes up more than half of the total protein within the blood, and globulins make up the remainder. Globulins have multiple different functions; the group includes immunoglobulins, enzymes, carrier proteins and complement. There are four groups of globulins. Serum protein electrophoresis is the test used to distinguish one from another and establish levels of each within the bloodstream. Alpha 1 globulins Mainly alpha-1 antitrypsin.

"text": "19 Often Used Abbreviations in Blood Tests Blood tests are used to determine many medical conditions. They are often used to check if drugs are present in a person's system, if medications for an illness are effective, if there are any mineral imbalance within the body and if the organs are functioning properly. It is highly possible that you will require a blood test at one point in your life. There are numerous blood test abbreviations, knowledge of these abbreviations will help you ascertain what blood tests results mean, and help you gather a clear understanding of blood tests in general.11 Common Blood Test Abbreviations There are 11 common blood test abbreviations, understanding what they mean will help you further understand your blood test results. Blood Test Abbreviation Description HDL & LDLThis refers to the measurement of good cholesterol (HDL or high-density lipoprotein) and bad cholesterol (LDL or low-density lipoprotein) within your blood. HDL helps to limit LDL, meaning high levels of HDL is a good thing and can help to prevent things such as heart disease. CPRElevated CPR, or C-Reactive Protein, levels indicate inflammation within the body. Short spikes can be expected in some instances, for example,when the immune system battles infection. Consistenthigh levels of CPR can indicate underlying health problems. CBCCBC, or complete blood count, is a test comprising of 15 different readings that helps to give your health care provider an account of your overall health."

BAOS is an inherited condition in the cavalier King Charles spaniel. The breed is pre-disposed to it, due to the comparatively short length of the cavalier's head and a compressed upper jaw **. * BAOS is also referred to as brachycephalic airway disease (BAD) and brachycephalic airway syndrome (BAS) and even brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS). ** Until 2011, there had been some dispute among researchers as to whether the cavalier King Charles spaniel is a brachycephalic breed or a mesaticephalic (or mesocephalic) breed. However, in a 2011 German study, the researchers concluded that the CKCS was brachycephalic but that it had a wider braincase in relation to length than in other brachycephalic breeds. The term \"\"brachycephalic\"\" or \"\"brachiocephalic\"\" means short-nosed and refers to dogs with short muzzles, noses, and mouths. \"\" Brachy\"\" means short and \"\"cephalic\"\" means head. The throat and breathing passages in brachycephalic dogs often are undersized or flattened. The head's soft tissues are not proportionate to the shortened nature of the skull, and the excess tissues tend to increase resistance to the flow of air through the upper airway (nostrils, sinuses, pharynx and larynx)."

"text": "My fiance had a semen analysis that showed he has abnormal sperm morphology. What does this mean? Answers from Landon Trost, M. D. Sperm morphology — the size and shape of sperm — is one factor that's examined as part of a semen analysis to evaluate male infertility. Sperm morphology results are reported as the percentage of sperm that appear normal when semen is viewed under a microscope. Normal sperm have an oval head with a long tail. Abnormal sperm have head or tail defects — such as a large or misshapen head or a crooked or double tail. These defects might affect the ability of the sperm to reach and penetrate an egg. However, having a large percentage of misshapen sperm isn't uncommon. In addition, morphology alone doesn't indicate if you are fertile or not. A typical semen analysis also assesses: Semen volume Total sperm number Sperm concentration Vitality (percent alive)Movement (motility)An abnormal semen analysis also doesn't mean that you are infertile."

"text": "Low Sperm Count / Abnormal Sperm Count Male Infertility The definition of infertility is having unprotected intercourse and not conceiving for a period of one year. Approximately 40% of all infertility is due to a male factor. The semen analysis is the primary test to evaluate a male factor. The semen analysis includes assessment of volume, time to liquefy, presence of white blood cells (indicative of possible infections), the count or concentration of sperm, the motility, the percentage of normal shaped sperm. At the Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine we also routinely include assessment of antisperm antibodies, a relatively common cause of male infertility. What is a normal sperm count? Over the last 40 years various definitions of what constitutes a low sperm count have been reported. The sperm count is the number of sperm counted in a certain volume of semen. The most recent World Health Organization criteria is 15 million sperm per milliliter, counts below this are considered low and are referred to as oligozoospermia. There are many potential causes of a low sperm count including anatomic problems, hormonal insufficiency, testicular pathology or a genetic disorder."

"text": "ARVDIntroduction Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a heart muscle disease, often familial, characterized by structural and functional abnormalities of the RV due to replacement of the myocardium by fatty and fibrofatty tissue. Clinical presentation of ARVD/C usually consists of arrhythmias of RV origin that range from isolated premature ventricular beats to sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation that leads to sudden cardiac death. However the spectrum of presentation is very broad and includes global or regional dysfunction and structural alterations of the RV; ECG depolarization/repolarization changes, characteristically in right precordial leads; and evolution to right or biventricular heart failure that mimics dilated cardiomyopathy. In the 22 years since ARVD/C was first described, previously reported as auricularization of the RV, considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the pathogenesis, morbid anatomy, and clinical presentation of this condition. Hystopathology The most striking morphological feature of ARVD/C is diffuse or segmental lack of myocardium in the RV free wall, which is replaced by fatty or fibrofatty tissue. Only subendocardial layers are preserved, in which some myocardium appears to be interspersed with fibrosis. Persistent strands of cardiomyocytes bordered by or embedded in a variable area of fibrosis are observed also in the epicardial and mediomural layers inside the fat. In two thirds of cases patchy acute myocarditis with myocyte death and focal round cell inflammatory infiltrates (mostly lymphocytes) is present. This disease is largely overlooked by routine autopsy, because the limit between normal and pathological fatty infiltration is unclear. The purely adipose form of ARVD/C is characterized by partial or almost total replacement of RV wall by fatty tissue, with predominant involvement of the apex and infundibulum, in absence of fibrosis and inflammatory infiltrates."

Using the current World Health Organization classification criteria, we retrospectively reviewed cases of acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome in which erythroid precursors were ≥50% of the bone marrow nucleated cell population and the diagnosis of erythroleukemia was considered using older classification schemes. We collected 90 cases and separated them into four diagnostic groups: acute erythroid leukemia, erythroleukemia or erythroid/myeloid type ( n =20); acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes ( n =22); therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia ( n =32); and refractory anemia with excess blasts and preceding or concurrent history of erythropoietin therapy for anemia ( n =16). Patients with acute erythroid leukemia were the youngest patient group and had the best overall survival. There was a statistically significant difference in overall survival between patients with acute erythroid leukemia versus acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia-related changes ( P =0.003) and between patients with acute erythroid leukemia versus therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia ( P <0.0001). The presence of complex cytogenetic abnormalities (>3) was the only statistically significant independent variable that adversely affected survival in the acute erythroid leukemia group. Monosomy 5/del (5q) and monosomy 7/del (7q) were overrepresented in the context of complex chromosomal abnormalities. Our data suggest that acute erythroid leukemia, as currently defined in the World Health Organization classification, has become a rare disease. A majority of the cases reported previously as erythroleukemia are now classified as other entities. In addition, our data suggest that the current definition of acute erythroid leukemia, erythroleukemia type remains heterogeneous."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Obstetrics & Gynecology Recurrent Early Pregnancy Loss Updated: Oct 07, 2016Author: John C Petrozza, MD; Chief Editor: Richard Scott Lucidi, MD, FACOG more... Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Early pregnancy loss is defined as the termination of pregnancy before 20 weeks' gestation or with a fetal weight of below 500 g. Genetic causes Most spontaneous miscarriages are caused by an abnormal (aneuploid) karyotype of the embryo. At least 50% of all first-trimester spontaneous abortions (SABs) are cytogenetically abnormal. Diagnosis Perform karyotype of parents with family or personal history of genetic abnormalities Perform karyotype of the abortus in recurrent cases Management For couples who have had an SAB due to a suspected genetic cause, the standard of care is to offer genetic counseling. Although preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) of a removed blastomere for aneuploidy would theoretically increase the likelihood of embryonic implantation, reports in the literature have been conflicting with regard to the efficacy of this technique. However, couples in whom pregnancy loss can be attributed to a balanced translocation may benefit from specific genetic testing by preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Immunologic causes Tests for antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs), signaling the presence of the autoimmune disease antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), have reportedly been positive in 10-20% of women with early pregnancy losses. Three classes of clinically significant APL antibodies have been identified: anticardiolipin (a CL), lupus anticoagulant (LAC), and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies. Diagnosis Diagnosis of APS requires the presence of at least 1 of the clinical criteria and at least 1 of the laboratory criteria. The clinical criteria include the following: Vascular thrombosis3 or more consecutive unexplained miscarriages At least 1 unexplained death of a morphologically normal fetus at or after 10 weeks' gestation At least 1 premature birth of a morphologically normal neonate at or before 34 weeks' gestation, associated with severe preeclampsia or severe placental insufficiency The laboratory criteria include the following:a CL: Immunoglobulin G (Ig G) and/or immunoglobulin M (Ig M) isotype is present in medium or high titer on 2 or more occasions, 6 or more weeks apart Prolonged phospholipid-dependent coagulation on screening tests Inability to correct the prolonged screening test with normal platelet-poor plasma Successful correction of the prolonged screening test with excess phospholipids Exclusion of other coagulopathies as clinically indicated and heparin Management Treatment options for APS include the following: Subcutaneous heparin Low-dose aspirin Prednisone Immunoglobulins Combinations of these therapies Anatomic causes Anatomic uterine defects can cause obstetric complications, including recurrent pregnancy loss, preterm labor and delivery, and malpresentation. Diagnosis Imaging studies in the diagnosis of uterine defects include the following: Hysteroscopy Hysterosalpingography (HSG)Sonohysterograms Vaginal ultrasonography Management Data from uncontrolled, retrospective reviews have suggested that resection of the uterine septum increases delivery rates, although a prospective, controlled trial did not show that surgical correction of uterine abnormalities benefits pregnancy outcomes."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Medicine On a lab report what does RBC Morphology mean? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I can't really add much more as far as a definition goes, but the RBCs (Red Blood Cells) are what transport oxygen to the other cells in your body. They need to be shaped in a manner that allows the oxygen to adhere to the RBC. There are too many examples of diseases caused by sick & diseased RBCs to post here, 'tho Sickle Cell Anemia is an excellent example. A healthy, human RBC looks almost like a donut, ('tho there's no hole, it's just thinner in the middle) the center being where the 2 proteins that make up hemoglobin, (a sort of \"\"glue\"\") that binds with the oxygen provided in your lungs, to be carried throughout the body. HEMOGLOBIN is another part of a CBC (Complete Blood Count) With Sickle Cell Anemia, the RBC is shaped like a sickle (curved, sort of like a quarter moon) which doesn't provide a place for the hemoglobin to adhere the oxygen to (like the healthy \"\"donut\"\" shape which has its own comfy \"\"nesting place\"\" for it does.) So the patient doesn't receive enough oxygen, & there are very painful symptoms associated with this disease. Another abnormal condition in human RBC morphology is called \"\"Rouleaux\"\" where the cells sort of \"\"link\"\" together & form chains of RBCs. Each species has its own characteristics, in fact you would expect to see a Rouleaux condition on a slide of horse's blood, that is natural for them. Dogs & cats RBCs (as well as WBCs) are very similar to human blood."

"text": "Low Sperm Count / Abnormal Sperm Count Male Infertility The definition of infertility is having unprotected intercourse and not conceiving for a period of one year. Approximately 40% of all infertility is due to a male factor. The semen analysis is the primary test to evaluate a male factor. The semen analysis includes assessment of volume, time to liquefy, presence of white blood cells (indicative of possible infections), the count or concentration of sperm, the motility, the percentage of normal shaped sperm. At the Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine we also routinely include assessment of antisperm antibodies, a relatively common cause of male infertility. What is a normal sperm count? Over the last 40 years various definitions of what constitutes a low sperm count have been reported. The sperm count is the number of sperm counted in a certain volume of semen. The most recent World Health Organization criteria is 15 million sperm per milliliter, counts below this are considered low and are referred to as oligozoospermia. There are many potential causes of a low sperm count including anatomic problems, hormonal insufficiency, testicular pathology or a genetic disorder."

"text": "\"Introduction to Red Blood Cell Morphology Reporting After an automated complete blood count (CBC) analysis has determined that abnormal RBC morphology may be present, a well-made and well-stained peripheral blood smear should be reviewed. When a peripheral blood smear is made for the purpose of evaluating RBC morphology, accurate recognition and identification of RBC morphologic abnormalities can be an invaluable aid in the diagnosis of a variety of disorders. RBC morphology reporting formats can vary among laboratories. Despite the standardization of many laboratory technologies and test result formats, there are still various protocols in use in the area of red cell morphology reporting. Current methods of reporting and quantifying red cell morphology include descriptive terms such as 'rare,' 'occasional,' 'many,' 'slight,' or 'moderate,' as well as numerical gradings of 1+, 2+, 3+, etc. Regardless of the terminology used, consistency is of greater importance. There must be a defined, semi-quantitative scheme that dictates how many cells with a specific morphologic abnormality qualify as \"\"rare\"\" or \"\"many,\"\" and so on. The report format must be clear and useful to the physician. Some morphologic abnormalities are quite specific and diagnostic, but others are ambiguous and of little diagnostic significance. A well-defined, semi-quantitative report format for RBC morphology should be based on clinical significance."

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."

A typical semen analysis might include the terms “sluggish sperm” and “diminished sperm motility” and “normal forward sperm progression” – but don’t let those sperm test results alarm you. Did you know that most couples check the girlfriend’s or wife’s fertility before even thinking that the boyfriend or husband may have a low fertility levels? This is ironic, because male fertility tests are much easier, less expensive, and less invasive than female fertility tests. It is so important for men to check their sperm count and health with a semen analysis – even before women test their fertility. In the past, it was the woman’s “fault” that a couple couldn’t conceive a baby. Most people automatically soon it’s female female fertility problems that stop a couple from getting pregnant, perhaps to protect the fragile male ego (because the male psyche equates fertility with virility). Not fathering a child led to shame and embarrassment for the family. Studies today, however, show that at least 30% of infertility is because of a medical or health problem with the man. So, the fact that you’ve done a sperm test and need to interpret the results of your semen analysis is a positive step forward in your journey to getting pregnant and starting a family!The reason a sperm test and semen analysis is so important is because the vast majority of men have no way of knowing their fertility levels."

"text": "Keywords:migraine; vascular disorders; circle of Willis Abstract Background.— Migraine is associated with vascular risk factors and white matter abnormalities (WMA). Cerebral hypoperfusion is known to be one mechanism underlying WMA and a few studies have shown that an incomplete circle of Willis (CW) may predispose to cerebral hypoperfusion. This study assessed the relationship between the morphologic characteristics of the CW and migraine. Methods.— This case–control study was carried out in the Amiens University Hospital. Patients undergoing 3-dimensional time of flight magnetic resonance angiography of the CW from January 1 to June 30, 2006 were included (n = 124). A definitive diagnosis of migraine was established in 47 patients: 23 (48.9%) experienced migraine without aura and 24 (51.1%) migraine with aura. The remaining 77 patients with other neurologic disorders constituted the control group. The posterior CW was graded as complete when both posterior communicating arteries and the P1 segments of the posterior cerebral artery were present on visual examination and incomplete when one of these vessels was missing (interobserver agreement: K total = 0.746)."

The most common types of prenatal diagnostic tests available are chorionic villus sampling (often simply called “CVS”) and amniocentesis (often simply called “amnio”). At Advanced Women’s Imaging we are experienced at performing chorionic villus sampling (both the transabdominal and transvaginal approaches) and amniocentesis. Chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis are different from prenatal screening tests such as nuchal translucency scans. Prenatal diagnostic testing is considered an invasive way of determining the presence or absence of a chromosome abnormality. These tests involve putting a needle into either the placenta or amniotic sac of the developing pregnancy and hence they are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. These tests are usually performed only in certain situations. Prenatal diagnostic testing (CVS and amniocentesis) provide a definitive (100%) diagnosis of a chromosome abnormality. For example, CVS/amniocentesis will tell us either“no, the baby definitely does not have a chromosome abnormality\"\", or,“yes, the baby definitely has a chromosome abnormality\"\". This is different from the results of combined first trimester screening (nuchal translucency scan and specific blood tests)."

Movement disorders are generally classified as hypokinetic or akinetic-rigid syndromes or hyperkinetic disorders. Hypokinetic disorders disorders are diseases where patients have slowness of voluntary movement (bradykinesia) and muscle rigidity (stiffness) or, in general, diminished and slowed automatic movements (such as eye blinking or arm swing when walking). The most common of these disorders is Parkinson’s disease (PD) but other degenerative disorders include: progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and corticobasal ganglionic degeneration. Hypokinetic disorders can also occur because of stroke or medications. Hyperkinetic disorders include diseases where there is too much movement and best known of these are Huntington’s disease (HD), Tourette’s syndrome (TS), essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. Parkinson’s disease affects approximately 1.5 million people in the United States. It is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the presence of tremor at rest, muscle stiffness or rigidity, slowness of movement or bradykinesia, and gait and balance problems such as shuffling, freezing or falling. This disease is associated with a loss of the neurochemical dopamine in the brain. The dopamine producing cells, particularly in a region of the brainstem called substantia nigra, progressively die off for reasons that remain unknown."

There are several varieties of dyskinesia which have different clinical appearances, underlying causes and treatments. Tremor, chorea, dystonia and myoclonus are examples of types of dyskinesia which have different mechanisms and modalities of treatment. Tics and stereotypies may also be considered to be related but some experts call these 'unvoluntary' because there is an element of voluntary control. Cerebrovascular diseases are a common cause of secondary movement disorders. Post-stroke movement disorders include Parkinsonism and a wide range of hyperkinetic movement disorders, including chorea, ballism, athetosis, dystonia, tremor, myoclonus, stereotypies and akathisia. Classification Athetosis Sinuous, slow, involuntary writhing movements affecting the fingers, hands, toes and feet. The arms, legs, neck and tongue may also be affected. Causes include asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, Huntington's chorea, cerebrovascular disease and trauma.

This group of neurological conditions is generally characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that force the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements and positions (postures). The muscular contractions may be sustained or come and go (intermittent). Movements may be patterned and twisting, and/or in some cases shaking or quivering (tremulous) resembling a tremor. Dystonia may occur or be worsened when an individual attempts a voluntary action. There are many different causes for dystonia. Genetic as well as non-genetic factors can contribute to the development of these disorders. In some cases, the exact, underlying cause is unknown (idiopathic). The most characteristic finding associated with most forms of dystonia is twisting, repetitive movements that affect the neck, torso, limbs, eyes, face, vocal chords, and/or a combination of these muscle groups."

"text": "\"What Are Psychogenic Movement Disorders? Psychogenic movement disorders are characterized by unwanted movements, such as spasms, shaking or jerks involving any part of the face, neck, trunk or limbs. In addition some patients may have bizarre gait or difficulties with their balance that are caused by underlying stress or some psychological condition. Speech and voice disorders are also relatively common in patients with psychogenic movement disorders, in which patients may experience stuttering, speech arrest, lower speech volume (hypophonia), or even a foreign accent. A variety of blood, imaging and other tests are usually normal and do not reveal any physical (organic) cause that could explain these motor abnormalities. Most psychogenic movements are considered involuntary – performed without conscious awareness or effort. They can mimic organic movement disorders, such as tremor , dystonia , myoclonus, parkinsonism, tics and paroxysmal dyskinesias. Although a psychogenic movement disorder may resemble or accompany an organic disorder, a skilled and experienced neurologist should be able to differentiate the two types of movement disorders. Several other terms have been used to describe psychogenic movement disorders and there has been considerable debate regarding the appropriate naming of the disorder. Other terms, including functional, nonorganic, conversion disorder, psychosomatic, medically unexplained, dissociative motor disorder, and hysterical, when applied to the diagnosis, may seem vague and can often be misinterpreted by the patient to perceive themselves as dysfunctional rather than functional."

"text": "Abnormal Eye and Head Movements in Childrenby KATE BECK Aug. 14, 2017Young children and infants can't tell parents about vision problems and, in most cases, when a child has an eye problem from birth, he may not know his eyesight could appear differently. Checkups with a pediatrician may not detect subtle eye conditions, so parents should watch for signs such as abnormal eye movements or head positions. If you notice these symptoms in your child, contact an eye doctor for an examination, since early detection and treatment may help improve or protect your child’s vision. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Head Movements A child may position his head to compensate for eye misalignment that may occur with conditions such as a “lazy eye.” Your child may turn her head or tilt her head back so that she can see something directly in front of her body. If your child has an eyelid condition known as ptosis, in which his upper eyelid droops down over his eyes, he may tilt his head back and look “down” to see beyond his eyelids. Children may also cover one eye or hold objects close to their faces to help them see, which may indicate poor vision or an eye condition such as cataracts that causes vision loss. Eye Movements Unusual head movements may also help a child adapt to uncontrolled eye movements. Involuntary eye movements, a condition often referred to as a nystagmus, make the eyes appear to shake or move back and forth, up or down. This condition could stem from eye problems such as eye misalignment or cataracts, but a nystagmus may also appear if your child has vitamin deficiencies or inner ear conditions."

"text": "\"The Parkinson's & Movement Disorder Institute The area of movement disorders includes problems such as tremor, Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonian syndromes, dystonia (including torticollis, spasmodic dysphonia and blepharospasm), restless leg syndrome, tic and Tourette syndrome, chorea, spasticity and tardive dyskinesia. Tremor: Although quite common, and more prevalent with aging, tremor is not a normal consequence of growing older. There are numerous causes of tremor, and this symptom alone may not represent a neurological disease or a serious problem. Treatment, if necessary, is dependent upon the cause of the tremor. Parkinson's disease: Described first 180 years ago in 1817 by Dr. James Parkinson, a London physician, it has the attention of researchers around the world, but the cause of this neurological disease remains elusive. Parkinson's disease may produce a great variety of symptoms, but the four basic, so called 'cardinal signs' include tremor, slowness of movement, stiffness of movement, and impairment of balance. There is no test for Parkinson's disease; the diagnosis is established by listening to the symptoms and physical examination by an experienced clinician. As of yet there is no cure, but there are numerous therapies that help the symptoms. Parkinsonian syndromes: There are other neurological disorders that bear some resemblance to Parkinson's disease in the symptoms they produce, but on closer examination are distinct from Parkinson's disease on a clinical basis, as well as in the brain changes found. Examples include Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (known as PSP, also referred to as Olszewski-Steele-Richardson syndrome), Multiple System Atrophy, and Cortical Basalganglionic Degeneration."

"text": "The previous motor system chapters have deconstructed the motor system into its component parts, in an effort to portray how the brain’s “divide and conquer” strategy assigns different motor control tasks to different brain regions. This chapter describes the types of disorders that result from damage or disease to different parts of the motor system. In the process, the different components of the motor system are reviewed to see how they work together to produce the fluid, effortless body movements that we take for granted. An emphasis is placed on trying to explain the causes and symptoms of motor system disorders in terms of the basic principles of neuroanatomy and neuronal function that you learned in the earlier chapters.6.1 Lower Motor Neuron Syndrome The first level of the motor system hierarchy is the spinal cord, the location of the alpha motor neurons that constitute the “final common pathway” of all motor commands. Alpha motor neurons directly innervate skeletal muscle, causing the contractions that produce all movements. Reflex circuits and other circuitry within the spinal cord underlie the automatic processing of many of the direct commands to the muscles (the “nuts and bolts” processing), thereby freeing higher-order areas to concentrate on more global, task-related processing. Motor system dysfunction can result from damage or disease at any level of the motor system hierarchy and side-loops. Differences in the symptoms that result from damage at different levels allow the clinician to localize where in the hierarchy the damage is likely to be. Damage to alpha motor neurons results in a characteristic set of symptoms called the lower motor neuron syndrome (lower motor neurons refer to alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain stem; all motor system neurons higher in the hierarchy are referred to as upper motor neurons). This damage usually arises from certain diseases that selectively affect alpha motor neurons (such as polio) or from localized lesions near the spinal cord."

It occurs almost exclusively in girls. Most babies with Rett syndrome seem to develop normally at first, but after about 6 months of age, they lose skills they previously had — such as the ability to crawl, walk, communicate or use their hands. Over time, children with Rett syndrome have increasing problems with the use of muscles that control movement, coordination and communication. Rett syndrome can also cause seizures and intellectual disability. Although there's no cure for Rett syndrome, potential treatments are being studied. Current treatment focuses on improving movement and communication and providing care and support for children and adults with Rett syndrome and their families. Symptoms Babies with Rett syndrome are generally born after a normal pregnancy and delivery. The age at which symptoms begin and their severity and associated disability varies widely among individuals. However, most babies with Rett syndrome seem to grow and behave normally for the first six months."

The disease is named after the doctor who first described it, Alois Alzheimer. The disease is characterized by odd behavior, memory problems, paranoia, disorientation, agitation, and delusions. After Deter's death, Alzheimer performed a brain autopsy and discovered dramatic shrinkage and abnormal deposits in and around nerve cells. In 1910 the term “ Alzheimer's Disease” was formally used. In 1974 Congress established the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the primary federal agency supporting Alzheimer's research. What Is Dementia? Dementia is not a specific disease, it is a broad term that characterizes many different conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and other disorders. Dementia refers to a group of symptoms that can be caused by several different brain disorders.

"text": "\"Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Brebca Definition The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) is a rating scale that was designed in the 1970s to measure involuntary movements known as tardive dyskinesia (TD). TD is a disorder that sometimes develops as a side effect of long-term treatment with neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications. Purpose Tardive dyskinesia is a syndrome characterized by abnormal involuntary movements of the patient's face, mouth, trunk, or limbs, which affects 20%–30% of patients who have been treated for months or years with neuroleptic medications. Patients who are older, are heavy smokers, or have diabetes mellitus are at higher risk of developing TD. The movements of the patient's limbs and trunk are sometimes called choreathetoid, which means a dance-like movement that repeats itself and has no rhythm. The AIMS test is used not only to detect tardive dyskinesia but also to follow the severity of a patient's TD over time. It is a valuable tool for clinicians who are monitoring the effects of long-term treatment with neuroleptic medications and also for researchers studying the effects of these drugs. The AIMS test is given every three to six months to monitor the patient for the development of TD. For most patients, TD develops three months after the initiation of neuroleptic therapy; in elderly patients, however, TD can develop after as little as one month. Precautions The AIMS test was originally developed for administration by trained clinicians."

Vestibulocerebellar syndrome, also known as vestibulocerebellar ataxia, is a progressive neurological disorder that causes a variety of medical problems. Initially symptoms present as periodic attacks of abnormal eye movements but may intensify to longer-lasting motor incapacity. The disorder has been localized to the vestibulocerebellum, specifically the flocculonodular lobe. [ 1] Symptoms of vestibulocerebellar syndrome may appear in early childhood but the full onset of neurological symptoms including nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), ataxia (loss of voluntary muscle coordination), and tinnitus (perception of sound in the absence of external stimulation) does not occur until early adulthood. [ 2] To date, vestibulocerebellar syndrome has only been identified in three families but has affected multiple generations within them. Based on the familial pedigrees it has been characterized as an autosomal dominant disorder, although the exact genetic locus has not been identified. [ 2] [3] It has been found to be genetically distinct from other seemingly similar forms of neurological syndromes such as episodic ataxia types 1 and 2. Due to its rarity, however, little is known about specific details of the pathology or long-term treatment options.

"text": "\"Movement disorders From Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 4/6/01 by Richard Robinson Definition Movement disorders are a group of diseases and syndromes affecting the ability to produce and control movement. Description Though it seems simple and effortless, normal movement in fact requires an astonishingly complex system of control. Disruption of any portion of this system can cause a person to produce movements that are too weak, too forceful, too uncoordinated, or too poorly controlled for the task at hand. Unwanted movements may occur at rest. Intentional movement may become impossible. Such conditions are called movement disorders. Abnormal movements themselves are symptoms of underlying disorders. In some cases, the abnormal movements are the only symptoms. Disorders causing abnormal movements include: Parkinson's disease Parkinsonism caused by drugs or poisons Parkinson-plus syndromes (progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, and cortical-basal ganglionic degeneration)Huntington's disease Wilson's disease Inherited ataxias (Friedreich's ataxia, Machado-Joseph disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias)Tourette syndrome and other tic disorders Essential tremor Restless leg syndrome Dystonia Stroke Cerebral palsy Encephalopathies Intoxication Poisoning by carbon monoxide, cyanide, methanol, or manganese.

The specific causes of neurological problems vary, but can include genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities or disorders, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems including malnutrition, and brain injury, spinal cord injury or nerve injury. There are many recognized neurological disorders, some relatively common, but many rare. They may be assessed by neurological examination, and studied and treated within the specialties of neurology and clinical neuropsychology.

The Civil Rights Act upheld many earlier Supreme Court decisions that declared segregation unconstitutional but didn't effect wide change, mainly because of strong resistance in the south. The Supreme Court case most often identified with ending segregation is Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), where the US Supreme Court declared the \"\"separate but equal\"\" doctrine affirmed in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause. The decision in Brown only dealt with segregation in the public schools, not in every aspect of life, but it laid a foundation for future decisions and laws that eventually culminated in an end to de jure (legal) segregation.

Upon hearing the word ‘exams’ students get frightened the most (according to a recent survey by Education Newspaper). For this reason I believe that examinations should be abolished. The main reason as to why I am agreeing with this statement is because examinations are no longer a real test of a student’s knowledge level. In some subjects, the exams are easy while in others they are hard. In most cases teaches set the examinations at a level in which all students can pass reasonably. This means that the not-so-smart students will float above the school’s average; the average students will pass with mediocre scores; and the smarter students will exceed on all levels. In addition, exams are probably the most stressful part of going to school. The process of studying for an examination adds pressure on the student and many of them burn the mid night oil just to receive a mere sixty (60) to seventy (70) percent."

The strokes are usually aimed at the unclothed back of a person, in certain settings it can be extended to other corporeal areas. For a moderated subform of flagellation, described as bastinado, the soles of a person's bare feet are used as a target for beating (see foot whipping ). In some circumstances the word \"\"flogging\"\" is used loosely to include any sort of corporal punishment, including birching and caning. However, in British legal terminology, a distinction was drawn (and still is, in one or two colonial territories) between \"\"flogging\"\" (with a cat-o'-nine-tails) and \"\"whipping\"\" (formerly with a whip, but since the early 19th century with a birch). In Britain these were both abolished in 1948.

The three most prominent forms of description in the Communist Manifesto are class, sexual and society reproduction, and capitalist class. In prescription, the three most prominent forms are the revolution of the politician, abolishment of the family, and social revolution. Let us examine these ideas. The first description is class. The manifesto states that the era's means of production define class relationships. However, in the end, the relationships stop being compatible with the forces of production. This leads to a revolution which brings forth another ruling class. Thus, the manifesto advocates for the abolishment of all class systems in the world. The two distinct classes referred to are the proletariat (the wage workers) and the bourgeoisie (the social group or middle class)."

"text": "Politics & Government Politics Why did the South want slavery and why the North want to abolish slavery that they went to war over it?1 following 16 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The War between the States was fought for many reasons, not just slavery... but anyway, moving on: The South wanted slavery because it made up a fairly large part of the economy; at least, the rich, politically important big planters preferred using slave labor, because it was really cheap once one invested the money in purchasing slaves. Once those big planters were using slaves and were getting rich off of it when the cotton gin was invented, it got entrenched deeply into the South. As to the north, they really didn't care about slavery. There were abolitionists, yes, but they were regarded as crazy folk, generally. The average Northerner didn't so much care about the fact that slaves were being held, they were concerned however that free black people would be forced to go up from the relatively jobless South into the factories of the North, where they would undercut wages. Thus, while the average Northerner might not have liked the situation down South, they weren't for abolition, either, since that would slash their already meager wages even more. By the way, an interesting tidbit; in the South, people said that it was the North that was morally corrupt for this; a slaveowner, they said, was at least obligated to make sure the slaves were fed, clothed, and housed well enough so that they could keep on working. They said that this was better than the North, where the business owners didn't care enough to give people wages they could live on; after all, if you lost an arm in their machines, what did it matter to them? They could hire some other shmuck fresh off the boat to work in your place, and they'd probably work for even less. Now, of course, we look at it differently.n00b · 6 years ago3 4 1 comment Asker's rating For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awm MN Nahtazu is correct, the original reason the Civil war was fought was due to state's rights, Slavery was just one of many issues lumped together in that area."

"text": "Slavery View lesson as PDFView full image How did the Abolition Acts of 1807 and 1833 affect the slave trade? Tasks Background Teachers' notes External links As soon as Europeans began to settle in America, in the early 16th century, they imported enslaved Africans to work for them. As European settlement grew, so did the demand for enslaved people. Over the next 300 years more than 11 million enslaved people were transported across the Atlantic from Africa to America and the West Indies, and Britain led this trade from the mid-17th century onwards. Ports such as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow sent out many slaving ships each year, bringing great prosperity to their owners. Many other cities also grew rich on the profits of industries which depended on slave-produced materials such as cotton, sugar and tobacco. The campaign in Britain to abolish slavery began in the 1760s, supported by both black and white abolitionists. The battle was long and hard-fought, with pro-slavery campaigners arguing that the slave trade was important for the British economy and claiming that enslaved Africans were happy and well-treated. However the frequent rebellions by enslaved Africans and evidence of the appalling conditions endured by them during and after transportation led to growing support for the demands to abolish the slave trade. Eventually, in 1807, Parliament passed an Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, which abolished the trade by Britain in enslaved peoples between Africa, the West Indies and America."

Historically, in the 17th century, slavery was established in a number of English overseas possessions. In the 18th century, it existed in all the British colonies of North America. In the Thirteen Colonies, the distinction between slave and free states began during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783).

A leading historian challenges the new orthodoxy about how slavery ended in America James Oakes , Jacobin08.29.2012 • 2:41 PMThis article originally appeared on Jacobin. On 6 November 1860, the six-year-old Republican Party elected its first president. During the tense crisis months that followed – the “secession winter” of 1860–61 – practically all observers believed that Lincoln and the Republicans would begin attacking slavery as soon as they took power. Democrats in the North blamed the Republican Party for the entire sectional crisis. They accused Republicans of plotting to circumvent the Constitutional prohibition against direct federal attacks on slavery. Republicans would instead allegedly try to squeeze slavery to death indirectly, by abolishing it in the territories and in Washington DC, suppressing it in the high seas, and refusing federal enforcement of the Slave Laws. The first to succumb to the Republican program of “ultimate extinction,” Democrats charged, would be the border states where slavery was most vulnerable. For Northern Democrats, this is what caused the crisis; the Republicans were to blame for trying to get around the Constitution. Southern secessionists said almost exactly the same thing."

These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal. In a randomized trial in patients with obstructive sleep apnea that compared primary care vs specialist sleep center management, there were no significant differences observed in the hours of use of CPAP or in the percentage of patients that used CPAP ≥4h/day. In another study comparing home testing and treatment initiation for sleep disorders with in-laboratory testing and titration, costs for testing was less than lab testing and there were no significant differences in outcomes. SAN DIEGO -- Home management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) appeared cost-effective in a VA trial, while primary care came out about the same as specialty management of the disorder in a study from Spain. Sending patients home with the testing and CPAP titration devices saved an average of $564 in costs per patient compared with laboratory based diagnosis and titration ( P =0.007), Charles Atwood, MD, of the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and University of Pittsburgh, and colleagues found. After lab-based diagnosis, the cost-effectiveness of managing CPAP in primary care rather than in a specialty sleep unit was about neutral, Manuel Sanchez-de-la-Torre, Ph D, of Hospital Arnau de Vilanova in Lleida, Spain, reported. Both studies were presented here at the American Thoracic Society meeting. Given the high prevalence of sleep apnea, \"\"anything that can allow us to diagnose and manage more patients with same cost is worth exploring,\"\" commented Kingman Strohl, MD, director of the sleep medicine program at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland. Atwood's Veterans Sleep Apnea Treatment Trial had previously demonstrated, as have multiple other randomized controlled trials, that the outcomes are equivalent between portable sleep testing and auto-CPAP titration carried out at home and lab-based polysomnography and titration."

I have finally gotten used to looking in the right direction when I cross the road. I am in so much trouble when I finally do come home. ( 2) Aussies very rarely dry their clothes in a dryer.

It is located on the Mitchell Highway between Narromine and Bourke, 583 km north-west of Sydney and 173 metres above sea-level. The Barrier Highway also starts at Nyngan, heading west to Cobar. Wool, wheat and cattle are the primary local produce in what is a very productive pastoral and agricultural shire. The district was originally inhabited by the Ngiyambaa Aborigines. Thomas Mitchell explored the Bogan River in 1835, camping on the future townsite. He recorded the local Aboriginal word 'nyingan', said to mean 'long pond of water', though other meanings have been put forward. Squatters had settled in Mitchell's wake before he had even begun the return journey. The acting botanist with the expedition was Richard Cunningham, the younger brother of noted explorer Allan Cunningham. He was killed by Aborigines 84 km south-east of Nyngan when he got lost after straying from the main party (a cairn marks the spot, near the locality of Tabratong)."

"text": "A SUMMARY OF THE STATES THAT SECEDED FROM THE UNIONBy Dallas Bogan Reprinted with Permission from Dallas Bogan. On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected the sixteenth President of the United States. His election to the presidency was the final blow to the South and led directly to the break up of the Union. Five months after his election, the North and South were engrossed in a bloody civil war. This was the culmination over thirty years of debate about the slavery and extension of slavery into new territories. The first state to secede from the Union was South Carolina. Significantly, this was not the first time that the people of South Carolina had discussed secession. During the debate over tariffs in the 1830s, South Carolina seriously considered secession. Fortunately, John C. Calhoun helped to solve the problem and South Carolina remained in the Union. But on December 20th, 1860, South Carolina held a secession convention in Charleston."

"title": "http://health.costhelper.com/abortion.html\nAbortion Cost",
"text": "\"Early: $320-$500 Late: $1,000-$2,000 or more E-mail Post Tweet Comments (34)Typical costs: The cost of abortion depends on the type of abortion performed and how far the pregnancy has progressed. For patients not covered by insurance, a surgical abortion in a doctor's office or a medical abortion at 10 weeks typically costs about $320 to $500. At 16 weeks, a surgical abortion costs about $500 to $700. At 20 weeks or later, a surgical abortion costs about $1,000 to $2,000 or more. Most abortions -- 88 percent -- are obtained by week 13; however, sometimes a health risk faced by the woman or other reasons cause women to seek later abortions, according to the National Abortion Federation [ 1] . An abortion usually is considered late-term at 20 weeks, and it is much more difficult to find providers for second-trimester abortions. Cost examples include: the Aalto Women's Center [ 2] in Houston, Texas, which charges $320 up to 11 weeks, up to $595 at their maximum of 15 weeks; and Choice Medical Group [ 3] in San Francisco, Calif., which charges $450 to $600 up to 12 weeks, $1,000 at 15 to 16 weeks; and $2,000 at 20 to 24 weeks. For patients covered by insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically include a copay for routine outpatient surgery -- usually between $15 and $150, depending on the plan. For medical abortions, out-of-pocket costs usually include copays for the prescription drug and for the office visit. Elective abortion is sometimes covered by health insurance."

"text": "Abortion advocates often use finances to explain why women need to be able to legally kill their unborn child. They bemoan the plight of low-income women, who can’t afford to have another child — and need taxpayers to pay for abortions because they can’t afford that, either. What these same abortion backers don’t often mention, though, is what an abortion actually costs. How much an abortion will cost a woman depends on how far along she is in her pregnancy. The National Abortion Federation gives general estimates of what a woman should expect to pay. Early in her first trimester, an abortion will cost somewhere between $350 – $500. As she progresses through the pregnancy, the cost will increase. After 20 weeks, she should expect to pay at least $1,000, if not several thousand dollars. Many women also have to travel to get an abortion, so they would need to add travel costs into their totals as well. This is why pro-aborts say that taxpayers need to fund abortion."

"text": "Pregnancy: Unplanned Pregnancy – About Abortion Posted under Health Guides. Updated 13 March 2017. Abortion For lots of reasons, teens may have an unplanned pregnancy. Depending on a young woman’s beliefs and resources, she may choose to carry the pregnancy to term and keep her baby, place her baby up for adoption, or have an abortion (before 20 weeks). Terminating a pregnancy is often an emotional and complex decision for a woman at any age. If a young woman has an unplanned pregnancy in the US (or many other countries) she has a legal right to decide to have a safe termination of the pregnancy, an abortion. Since 1973 abortion has been an option in the US for women of all ages. However, if she is under 18, depending on the laws in her state, she may need to obtain one or both of her parents’ or legal guardian’s permission or a judge’s approval. In some states she may be excused, if she was the victim of sexual assault. For more information about different state laws regarding abortion, see the Planned Parenthood website."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Clinical Procedures Intrauterine Device Insertion Updated: Dec 18, 2015Author: Sarah Hagood Milton, MD; Chief Editor: Christine Isaacs, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Overview Background Intrauterine device insertion is an outpatient procedure that should be performed by trained healthcare professionals. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are an effective and increasingly popular form of reversible contraception. [ 1, 2] The increase in popularity has been attributed to their efficacy, ease of reversibility, and patient satisfaction, with minimal effort required for long-term use. [ 3, 4] IUDs are equivalent to tubal sterilization at preventing pregnancy; in addition to vasectomy, they are the most cost-effective method of long-term contraception available in the United States. [ 5, 6] The IUDs currently available in the United States include the copper T380A IUD (Paraguard) and 2 levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems (Mirena and Skyla). Indications The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have developed guidelines for practitioners regarding IUD use in a variety of clinical circumstances. [ 7, 8] IUDs are considered appropriate for the majority of women, including nulliparous women and adolescents. Both immediate postpartum insertion (within 10 minutes of placental delivery) and delayed postpartum insertion (within 4 weeks of placental delivery) are acceptable. Similarly, postabortion (spontaneous or elective) insertion is acceptable. IUD use is safe in women with the following conditions: History of an ectopic pregnancy History of pelvic surgery Hypertension or other forms of heart disease History of deep venous thrombosis History of migraine headaches Anemia Diabetes Endometriosis Smoking Also, women with a history of sexually transmitted infections or a history of pelvic inflammatory disease may safely use an IUD, provided they have been treated and a test of cure has been obtained.

"text": "Humanities ›Issues How Much Does It Cost to Get An Abortion? Share Flipboard Email Print Mifepristone, the abortion pill known as RU 486. Getty Images/James Leynseby Tom Head Updated March 17, 2017The normal cost of a first-trimester abortion runs between $350 and $550, depending on subsidies, the method used, and other variables such as cost of living. A 2001 study conducted by the Guttmacher Institute found that the average overall cost of an abortion in the United States was $468, a figure that has risen since then due to inflation, but that the average amount paid for an abortion (due to subsidies) is $372. The Guttmacher Institute has also found that 87% of private health care plans cover abortion services --but because a disproportionately high number of people have substandard plans, only 46% of American workers are covered by policies that include abortion. Second-trimester abortions tend to be more expensive. At the Jackson Women's Health Organization, Mississippi's only remaining abortion clinic, a surgical abortion costs $405 if the pregnancy is in the first trimester, $495 at weeks 13-14, and $640 at weeks 15-16. Conventional wisdom would suggest that an abortion induced via RU-486/Mifepristone would cost less than a surgical abortion, but this is not necessarily the case. The Jackson Women's Health Organization, for example, charges $520 for a first-trimester RU-486 abortion -- $115 more than a surgical abortion would cost.

FLEUR JULY 27, 2015Mary Roy of Potosi, Mo., at an anti-abortion rally last week outside a Planned Parenthood building in St. Louis. Planned Parenthood's procedures for providing fetal tissue to researchers have drawn the attention of Congress. Laurie Skrivan/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, via Associated Press Videos released by an anti- abortion group during the last two weeks have drawn attention to a little-known practice: the buying, selling and research use of fetal tissue acquired from abortion clinics. The group behind the tapes accuses Planned Parenthood of selling fetal tissue for profit — which is illegal and which Planned Parenthood denies doing. House Republicans plan to investigate. This may be just one more battle in the nation’s long war over abortion, but the dispute has raised questions about who the buyers and sellers are, what fetal tissue is used for and what the law allows. Scientists at major universities and government labs have quietly been using fetal tissue for decades. They say it is an invaluable tool for certain types of research, including the study of eye diseases, diabetes and muscular dystrophy."

Late termination of pregnancy is more controversial than abortion in general because it results in the death of a fetus that is more developed and sometimes able to survive independently.

The exact point when a pregnancy becomes late-term, however, is not clearly defined. Some sources define an abortion after 16 weeks as \"\"late\"\". [ 5] [6] Three articles published in 1998 in the same issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association could not agree on the definition.

There are some averages that can give you an idea of what to expect. First, however, you must understand the different types of abortions. Around 90 percent of abortions in the U.

Many more options are available during this time period including medication abortions (using the abortion pill mifepristone or RU-486 within the first 9 weeks) or in-clinic surgical procedures.

That is the extreme right to life agenda who makes that claim in order to outrage people. Abortion is illegal after 12 weeks in most states unless the health of the mother is at risk or in the case of poor prenantal diagnosis. Some states do allow it beyond this point, but none beyond 24 weeks. This can vary though due the the fact that some states base gestation age on the size of the baby's head, the body size, or the actual gestation. Thanks to the false information that has been provided by this agenda, some states have made it illegal to terminate a pregnancy even when the mothers life is at risk or the child is so severely abonormal that there is no chance of survival. http://www.prochoiceamerica.org/choice-a... \"\"Some states have enacted laws that ban abortion entirely."

The bills, collectively titled the American Health Care Act, are the committees’ responses to the instructions they received in the Budget Resolution passed by both houses of Congress in mid-January to prepare budget reconciliation legislation to repeal the ACA. The committees will begin markup of the bills on March 8, 2017. ( E&C will also on that day consider a resolution offered by a group of Democratic House members that would request President Trump to direct Health and Human Service Secretary Price to transmit to the House documents relating to the administration’s plans to repeal and replace the ACA. If the bills are passed by the committees they will be combined by the House Budget Committee and sent to the House Rules Committee, and then to the full House for a vote. The Congressional Budget Office has not released cost estimates of the legislation and it appears that committee markups will proceed without out CBO reports. In considering the Affordable Care Act in 2009 and 2010, the House held 79 hearings over the course of a year, heard from 181 witnesses and accepted 121 amendments. The current House leadership hopes to get the repeal and replacement legislation through the House in three weeks. The Senate adopted the Affordable Care Act only after approximately 100 hearings, roundtables, walkthroughs and other meetings, and after 25 consecutive days in continuous session debating the bill. It is expected that the current House bill will go directly to the floor of the Senate for a vote."

Read some of the arguments in support of the Federal Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act, which the lame duck Congress debated on Wednesday, and you�ll be forgiven if you think they were drafted by a liberal crusader for women's rights. The law is presented as protecting a woman's right to know, and to make an informed consent. \"\" Women should not be kept in the dark,\"\" argues Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, a sponsor of the bill whose stated purpose is \"\"to ensure that women seeking an abortion are fully informed regarding the pain experienced by their unborn child. \"\" Lawmakers and activists opposed to abortion naturally want to make sure that women know as much as possible about the procedure, the risks, and the alternatives. Each layer of restriction, from waiting periods to parental notification, reinforces the message that this is not a decision to be made lightly. The movement to make ultrasounds more available reflects the belief that women who see an image, watch a heart beat, are much less likely to go through with an abortion. More than 20 years ago, the video The Silent Scream helped to shift the public focus from the horror stories of women who had suffered back-alley abortions to the horror movie of a fetus undergoing one. Now it all comes together: Brownback and Congressman Chris Smith argue for a woman's right to understand the experience of the fetus."

It's also sometimes known as a termination. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medications or having a minor surgical procedure. One in three women will have an abortion in their lifetime. How to get an abortion Abortions can only be carried out in an NHS hospital or a licensed clinic, and are usually available free of charge on the NHS. There are three main ways to get an abortion on the NHS:contact an abortion provider directly – the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), Marie Stopes UK and the National Unplanned Pregnancy Advisory Service (NUPAS) can tell you about eligibility and services in your areaspeak to your GP and ask for a referral to an abortion service – your GP should refer you to another doctor if he or she has any objections to abortionvisit a contraception clinic, family planning clinic, sexual health clinic or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic and ask for a referral to an abortion service Waiting times can vary, but you shouldn't have to wait more than two weeks from your initial appointment to having an abortion. Abortions can also be paid for privately if you prefer. Costs for private abortions vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and the method used to carry out the procedure. When an abortion can be carried out Most abortions in England, Wales and Scotland are carried out before 24 weeks of pregnancy. They can be carried out after 24 weeks in certain circumstances – for example, if the mother's life is at risk or the child would be born with a severe disability."

By Alex Henderson / Alter Net March 11, 2015, 5:34 AM GMTPrint Comments As the GOP presidential primary heats up and the 2016 election draws closer, Republicans have been pandering to their far-right evangelical base and blaming social liberalism for the decline of “family values” in the United States. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal insists that liberals are declaring war on families and religious liberty; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has been beating the culture war drum and railing against abortion, gay rights, feminism, same-sex marriage and sexy images in pop music. And as usual, Republicans are overlooking the real reason why so many Americans are either delaying or opting out of parenthood: economic stress. The U. S. Department of Agriculture projects that the average cost of raising a child born in 2013 will exceed $245,000, and birth rates among women in their 20 have reached an historic low in the U. S. (according to the Centers for Disease Control). America’s middle class has been facing a full-fledged economic assault, making it harder and harder to take on the colossal expense of parenthood. Below are 10 major reasons why the U. S., more and more, has become a terrible place to raise a family unless you’re rich.1. The High Cost of Childcare American families are facing a variety of rising costs in 2015, from food to housing. But one of the biggest expenses of all is turning out to be childcare. A 2014 report by Child Care Aware of America found that daycare could be as high as $14,508 per year for an infant and $12,280 per year for a four-year-old."

"text": "\"Private Nuisance Definition: An unreasonable interference with the use or enjoyment of land. Related Terms: Nuisance , Public Nuisance , Common Nuisance , Rylands v. Fletcher, the Rule in A private nuisance is distinguished from a public nuisance. As Justice Singer wrote in Kramer:\"\"Nuisance may be designated as public or private. A public nuisance is an unreasonable interference with a right common to the general public....\"\"\"\" [A] private nuisance is a nontrespassory invasion of another's interest in the private use and enjoyment of land. \"\" Unlike a public nuisance, a private nuisance threatens only one or few persons. In order for a private nuisance to be actionable, the invasion must be either (a) intentional and unreasonable or (b) unintentional but caused by negligent, reckless, or abnormally dangerous conduct. \"\" If the conduct is abnormally dangerous, the court must balance the utility and benefit of the, alleged nuisance against the invasion and harm caused. \"\" From Halsbury’s Laws of England:“It is ... a violation of a person’s private rights as opposed to a violation of rights which he enjoys in common with all members of the public. ”Private nuisance occurs when a person conducts himself in such a fashion as to unreasonably or excessively interfere with the private land-related rights of another. Thus, the plaintiff must be the owner or tenant of the real property affected."

"text": "July 14, 2011 by Bill Gordon Why are guinea pigs called guinea pigs? Let’s face it, it’s a pretty strange name. Especially when you know that their scientific name is Cavia porcellus. So, we’ve got to get to the bottom this — why are guinea pigs called guinea pigs anyway? Different theories abound as to why we call them guinea pigs, because they are definitely not related in any way, shape or form to the pig family – they are a member of the rodent family. But it’s not only in English that there are references to the word pig. The Germans call them Meerschweinchen which means ‘little sea pigs,’ and the Russians and Polish have similar names. The French call them cochon d’Inde, which means Indian pig, the Dutch call them guinees biggetje – which is similar to what we know them as and translates to Guinean piglet and the Italians call them Porcellino D’India – little Indian pig. These names all date back to when European ships were travelling around the New World, and when they stopped for food and provisions, the poor little guinea pigs were a cheap and plentiful supply of meat. ( Yes, we can’t bear to think of it either…)But none of this really explains exactly why they are known as guinea pigs."

"text": "\"Even if Italy is often regarded as the home country of pasta, rice is another popular dish served as primo piatto. Rice is an Asian ingredient that was exported to Italy a long time ago; although it is not possible to pinpoint exactly the date of its arrival, this ingredient has managed to become popular and it is, in fact, a major produce cultivated in the country, especially in some areas of the North. The most famous risaie, paddy fields, are situated in the Northern part of the country where several types of rice are produced, except long varities. The lower part of the Pianura Padana , Lombardia and the area o f Vercelli and Novara, in the region of Piedmont, are famous for their rice production. \"\" Risaie\"\" near Vigevano, in Italy (Giorgio Cannizzato/flickr)How to prepare a perfect risotto Risotto is not hard to make, but there are some things you have to keep in mind. First of all, choose the right type of rice: forget about long grain rice, or oriental varieties such as basmati, they are not good for it. You should always go for Carnaroli or Arborio, which are the most widely used for all risotto recipes. A very nice alternative to them is Vialone Nano. These types of rice are plump and starchy and are responsible for that lovely creaminess we all expect a good risotto to have. And if it is a perfect result you want, you are better avoid rinsing your rice before cooking it: rice tends to loose its firmness when rinsed and may turn into an unappetizing mush once it is fully cooked."

The dominant carbonate mineral in most marls is calcite, but other carbonate minerals such as aragonite, dolomite, and siderite may be present. Marl was originally an old term loosely applied to a variety of materials, most of which occur as loose, earthy deposits consisting chiefly of an intimate mixture of clay and calcium carbonate, formed under freshwater conditions; specifically an earthy substance containing 35–65% clay and 65-35% carbonate. It also describes a habit of coralline red alga. The term is today often used to describe indurated marine deposits and lacustrine sediments which more accurately should be named marlstone. Marlstone is an indurated rock of about the same composition as marl, more correctly called an earthy or impure argillaceous limestone. It has a blocky subconchoidal fracture, and is less fissile than shale."

"text": "The Physics Classroom » Multimedia Studios » Vectors and Projectiles » A Satellite as a Projectile Satellite Motion A satellite is often thought of as being a projectile which is orbiting the Earth. But how can a projectile orbit the Earth? Doesn't a projectile accelerate towards the Earth under the influence of gravity? And as such, wouldn't any projectile ultimately fall towards the Earth and collide with the Earth, thus ceasing its orbit? These are all good questions and represent stumbling blocks for many students of physics. We will discuss each question here. First, an orbiting satellite is a projectile in the sense that the only force acting upon an orbiting satellite is the force of gravity. Most Earth-orbiting satellites are orbiting at a distance high above the Earth such that their motion is unaffected by forces of air resistance. Indeed, a satellite is a projectile. Second, a satellite is acted upon by the force of gravity and this force does accelerate it towards the Earth."

If you stand next to a tank containing many tons of water, you don't even notice its gravitational force on you. As we shall see, to produce substantial gravitational force, one of the objects has to approach planetary size. Let's compare gravity with electricity: A hydrogen atom is an electron and a proton. The electric attraction between them is larger than the gravitational attraction by a factor of 5 x 10 39 . The attractive force that holds the nucleus together -- aptly called the strong force -- is stronger than the electric force over short range: if the nucleus is small enough, the strong force 'wins' and the nucleus is stable. ( However, large nuclei are unstable: they divide by radioactive decay: elements with atomic number above about 90 are usually radioactive because the electrical repulsion among 90 protons tends to defeat the attraction of the strong force.) This appendix has a chart showing the known forces and some relations among them."

This video provides an entertaining look at some of the ideas people have about the zero-gravity environment on board an orbiting spacecraft, and shows why the astronauts actually appear weightless. But let’s discuss it, too: When asked why objects and astronauts in spacecraft appear weightless, many people give these answers:1. There is no gravity in space and they do not weigh anything.2. Space is a vacuum and there is no gravity in a vacuum.3. The astronauts are too far away from Earth’s surface to be subject to its gravitational pull. These answers are all wrong!The main thing to understand here is that there IS gravity in space."

"text": "\"The South Pole Does Not Exist!In the Flat-Earth model of the cosmos, the North Pole is the immovable center of the world and the entire universe. Polaris, the North Star, sits straight over the North Pole at the highest point in the heavens, and like a slowly rotating planetarium dome all the celestial bodies revolve around Polaris and over the Earth once per day. The Sun circles over and around the circumference of Earth every 24 hours, steadily traveling each day from the equator during the March vernal equinox, up to the Tropic of Cancer at the June summer solstice, back down to the equator for the September autumnal equinox, and all the way down to the Tropic of Capricorn on the December winter solstice. In the Flat-Earth model, the South Pole does not exist at all and Antarctica is instead a gigantic ice-wall extending the circumference of Earth holding in the oceans like a giant bowl, or a “world cup.” As strange as this concept may sound at first, it is a fact that if you set a bearing due South from anywhere on Earth, inevitably at or before 78 degrees Southern latitude, you will find yourself face-to-face with an enormous ice-wall towering 100-200 feet in the air extending to the East and West the entire circumference of the world!“ The ice-barrier, so frequently referred to in accounts of the Antarctic regions, is the fore-front of the enormous glacier-covering, or ice-cap, which, accumulating in vast, undulating fields from the heavy snowfall, and ultimately attaining hundreds, if not thousands, of feet in thickness, creeps from the continent of Antarctica into the polar sea. The ice-barrier, yet a part of the parent ice-cap, presents itself to the navigator who has boldness enough to approach its fearful front, as a solid, perpendicular wall of marble-like ice, ranging from one thousand to two thousand feet in thickness, of which from one hundred to two hundred feet rises above, and from eight hundred to eighteen hundred feet sinks below, the level of the sea .\"\" -Greely, General A. W. \"\"Antarctica, or the Hypothetical Southern Continent.\"\" Cosmopolitan 17 (1894): p. 296“ It has been demonstrated that the earth is a plane, the surface-centre of which is immediately underneath the star called ‘Polaris,’ and the extremities of which are bounded by a vast region of ice and water and irregular masses of land. The whole terminates in fog and darkness, where snow and driving hail, piercing sleet and boisterous winds, howling storms, madly-mounting waves, and clashing icebergs are almost constant. ”"

"text": "previous index next Elliptic Orbits: Paths to the Planets Michael Fowler Deriving Essential Properties of Elliptic Orbits From a practical point of view, elliptical orbits are a lot more important than circular orbits. A spaceship leaving earth and going in a circular orbit won’t get very far. And although proving the planetary orbits are elliptical is quite a tricky exercise (the details can be found in the last section of the Discovering Gravity lecture), once that is established a lot can be deduced without further fancy mathematics. Think about an astronaut planning a voyage from earth to Mars. The two important questions (apart from can I get back?) are: How much fuel will this trip need? How much time will it take? It is crucial to minimize the fuel requirement, because lifting fuel into orbit is extremely expensive. Ignoring minor refinements like midcourse corrections, the spaceship’s trajectory to Mars will be along an elliptical path. We can calculate the amount of fuel required if we know the total energy of the ship in this elliptical path, and we can calculate the time needed if we know the orbital time in the elliptical path because, as will become apparent, following the most fuel-efficient path will take the ship exactly half way round the ellipse."

"text": "Spacecraft Reentry Basics Spacecraft Reentry Many satellites do not remain in their orbits indefinitely, but gradually return to Earth. This is because Earth’s atmosphere does not end abruptly, but becomes progressively thinner at higher altitudes. In fact, there is still some atmosphere several hundred kilometers up, where some satellites orbit Earth. Because the atmosphere is so thin at those high altitudes, satellites can take a long time to come down. For satellites in low Earth orbit (hundreds of kilometers in altitude), it may take years or tens of years to return to Earth. Higher-altitude satellites are of less concern with regard to reentry hazards because they can stay in orbit much longer — hundreds or even thousands of years. As a satellite loses altitude it enters denser regions of the atmosphere, where compression and friction generates a great deal of heat. This is due to the high velocity of orbiting satellites, which can be more than 29,000 km/hr. The tremendous amount of heat generated can melt or vaporize the entire satellite or portions of the satellite. A similar effect occurs during a meteor shower, where streaks of light (meteors or “shooting stars”) are generated by bits of natural materials (meteoroids) as they burn up in the atmosphere."

For example, the path of an object launched from Earth that reaches 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, and then falls back to Earth, is considered a sub-orbital spaceflight. Some sub-orbital flights have been undertaken to test spacecraft and launch vehicles later intended for orbital spaceflight. Other vehicles are specifically designed only for sub-orbital flight; examples include manned vehicles such as the X-15 and Space Ship One, and unmanned ones such as ICBMs and sounding rockets. Flights which attain sufficient velocity to go into low Earth orbit, and then de-orbit before completing their first full orbit, are not considered sub-orbital. Examples of this include Yuri Gagarin 's Vostok 1, and flights of the Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. Usually a rocket is used, but experimental sub-orbital spaceflight has also been achieved with a space gun.

At present, the Moon is on average 385,000 kilometers away and has reached this point after a long and eventful journey. The Moon was born around 4.5 billion years ago in a massive collision between our planet and a Mars-sized object, according to a leading theory. The enormous impact threw debris into orbit around the young Earth and from this material, the Moon coalesced. For the last few billion years the Moon's gravity has been raising tides in Earth's oceans which the fast spinning Earth attempts to drag ahead of the sluggishly orbiting Moon. The result is that the Moon is being pushed away from Earth by about 40 millimeters per year, and our planet's rotation is slowing. If left unabated the Moon would continue in its retreat until it would take bout 47 days to orbit the Earth. Both Earth and Moon would then keep the same faces permanently turned toward one another as Earth's spin would also have slowed to one rotation every 47 days. A \"\"day\"\" will be 1,128 hours long!

During civil twilight it is light enough to conduct many activities without artificial light. Nautical twilight is the period when the sun is 6-12 degrees below the horizon, when the horizon is still distinct enough for navigational sightings. Astronomical twilight is the period when the sun is 12-18 degrees below the horizon. Once the sun is more than 18 degrees below the horizon, the sky is dark enough for astronomical observations.

Kepler's three laws emerged from the analysis of data carefully collected over a span of several years by his Danish predecessor and teacher, Tycho Brahe. Kepler's three laws of planetary motion can be briefly described as follows: The paths of the planets about the sun are elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun being located at one focus. ( The Law of Ellipses)An imaginary line drawn from the center of the sun to the center of the planet will sweep out equal areas in equal intervals of time. ( The Law of Equal Areas)The ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun. ( The Law of Harmonies) (Further discussion of these three laws is given in Lesson 4 . ) While Kepler's laws provided a suitable framework for describing the motion and paths of planets about the sun, there was no accepted explanation for why such paths existed. The cause for how the planets moved as they did was never stated. Kepler could only suggest that there was some sort of interaction between the sun and the planets that provided the driving force for the planet's motion. To Kepler, the planets were somehow \"\"magnetically\"\" driven by the sun to orbit in their elliptical trajectories."

"text": "Overview A nuclear stress test uses radioactive dye and an imaging machine to create pictures showing the blood flow to your heart. The test measures blood flow while you are at rest and are exerting yourself, showing areas with poor blood flow or damage in your heart. The test usually involves injecting radioactive dye, then taking two sets of images of your heart — one while you're at rest and another after exertion. A nuclear stress test is one of several types of stress tests that may be performed alone or in combination. Compared with an exercise stress test, a nuclear stress test can help better determine your risk of a heart attack or other cardiac event if your doctor knows or suspects that you have coronary artery disease. Why it's done You may need a nuclear stress test if a routine stress test didn't pinpoint the cause of symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. A nuclear stress test may also be used to guide your treatment if you've been diagnosed with a heart condition. Your doctor may recommend a nuclear stress test to: Diagnose coronary artery disease. Your coronary arteries are the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients. Coronary artery disease develops when these arteries become damaged or diseased — usually due to a buildup of deposits containing cholesterol and other substances (plaques)."

It is performed to assess the condition and health of the heart. During the test, a doctor will inject a radioactive material or dye called a tracer through the vein into the bloodstream. The tracer travels along the veins towards the heart and special cameras outside the body can trace its journey. Two sets of images will be taken. First, the patient will undergo an exercise stress test or chemical stress test so that their blood flow can be monitored while ‘stressed’. The second set of images will be taken several hours or a few days later when the patient is at rest. The two sets of images will be compared for signs of any blockages and areas of damaged heart muscle."

When a heart is at rest, blockages might be unrecognizable by an EKG test. But when a heart is working, it pumps harder making it easier to identify potential coronary artery blockages or heart problems. Generally, a stress test involves walking on a treadmill or bicycling on a stationary bike at increasing levels of difficulty to determine stress on the heart. While the test itself generally takes less than 15 minutes, expect the doctor's visit to be up to two hours total. Typical costs: There are typically two main costs associated with a stress test -- the cost of the test itself and the cost of analyzing the results. Patients with medical insurance covering a portion of the cost of the stress test procedure can expect to pay $200-$400 total out of pocket, depending on a patient's copay responsibility. Harvard Pilgrim Health Care [ 1] , a Massachusetts based health care provider, charges its members $270-$379 for the test itself and an additional $24-$39 for an interpretation of the test. Uninsured patients will likely pay $1,000-$5,000 for stress test and the analysis. A cardiovascular stress test costs about $3,800 on average nationally, according to New Choice Health.com [ 2] , but can get as high as $10,900."

Other names for this test include cardiac blood pooling imaging, nuclear heart scan, nuclear ventriculography, and radionuclide ventriculography. Some people may need a MUGA scan before chemotherapy to find a pre-existing heart condition. Doctors also use MUGA scans as follow-up care to identify potential long-term heart side effects called late effects. Cancer survivors who may need follow-up MUGA scans include: People who have had radiation therapy to the chest, spine, or upper abdomen. People who have had a bone marrow/stem cell transplant or certain types of chemotherapy.

"text": "Release Date: October 26, 2015Share Fast Facts CT scans outperform stress tests in spotting clogged arteries. - Click to Tweet CT angiograms detect blockages in nine out of 10 people. - Click to Tweet Tests can miss four out of 10 patients with clogged heart vessels. - Click to Tweet Results of a head-to-head comparison study led by Johns Hopkins researchers show that noninvasive CT scans of the heart’s vessels are far better at spotting clogged arteries that can trigger a heart attack than the commonly prescribed exercise stress that most patients with chest pain undergo. A report on the findings comparing CT angiograms and stress tests, published online Oct. 14 in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, show the scans correctly identified blockages in nine out of 10 people, while stress tests picked up blockages in six out of 10. What renders the results of the new study particularly powerful, researchers say, is that each patient underwent all three tests for providing a direct, head-to-head comparison of their ability to accurately spot blockages. “No tests is 100 percent accurate 100 percent of the time, but our findings indicate CT angiograms get pretty close to that coveted threshold,” says lead investigator Armin Zadeh, M. D., Ph. D., associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “ We hope our findings will settle any residual uncertainty about the effectiveness of these two common noninvasive heart tests. ”The researchers note that the gold standard for detecting blocked arteries remains invasive cardiac angiography, a test using dye and X-rays that requires a catheter to be threaded into the heart’s vessels."

As North Korea dug tunnels at its nuclear test site last fall, watched by American spy satellites, the Obama administration was preparing a test of its own in the Nevada desert. A fighter jet took off with a mock version of the nation’s first precision-guided atom bomb. Adapted from an older weapon, it was designed with problems like North Korea in mind: Its computer brain and four maneuverable fins let it zero in on deeply buried targets like testing tunnels and weapon sites. And its yield, the bomb’s explosive force, can be dialed up or down depending on the target, to minimize collateral damage. In short, while the North Koreans have been thinking big — claiming to have built a hydrogen bomb, a boast that experts dismiss as wildly exaggerated — the Energy Department and the Pentagon have been readying a line of weapons that head in the opposite direction. The build-it-smaller approach has set off a philosophical clash among those in Washington who think about the unthinkable."

Most bald eagles die in their first year of life, usually from starvation. Sexual Maturity Bald eagles do not reach sexual maturity until they are about four or five years old. It is at this stage that they get their characteristic all-white heads."

"text": "Home > Animals > Eagles Eagles Bald Eagles The bald eagle owes its name to the Middle English term “balled,” meaning “shining white.” The adult bald eagle’s head and neck feathers are all white, giving it the name “balled eagle,” meaning “white eagle.” It does not mean “hairless” or “lack of feathers.” The bald eagle has a wingspan of 7 — 8 feet, and makes its habitat along coastlines or large bodies of fresh water. Eagles require a 25-mile hunting territory, and appear to mate for life (which can come close to 50 years). Like the peregrine falcon, brown pelican, and other species, our national symbol suffered a great fall due to pesticides (DDT) employed by man during the 1950 — 60’s. Ultimately our emblem found itself on the endangered species list. However, through a concerted effort of the State and Federal government, use of the pesticides ceased and the bird showed its resilience in a great recovery effort. In 1995 it came off of the endangered species list. National Symbol and School Mascot The bald eagle became the official emblem of the United States in 1782."

All regularly occur in Pennsylvania, but only the bald eagle and osprey nest here. The golden eagle migrates through the state on a pathway connecting its breeding and wintering territories. In the not so distant past, direct persecution and environmental contaminants drove eagle and osprey populations to catastrophically low levels. Protection at both state and federal levels, tremendous conservation efforts and improved waterway quality enabled them to rebound in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. While persecution and environmental contaminants continue to impact these large raptors, today's primary threats include loss of habitat due to land-use changes and declinling habitat quality. Taxonomists place bald and golden eagles in the same family as hawks, kites, harriers and Old World vultures – the family Accipitridae. The osprey is the only species of the family Pandionidae.

The second largest North American bird of prey after the Californian condor (2), the bald eagle is also the only eagle solely native to North America (5). This majestic species is named for its conspicuous white head, with ‘bald’ coming from an old word meaning ‘white’. The bald eagle’s head is fully feathered, and contrasts strongly with the dark brown body and wings. The tail is also white, and the legs, eye and large beak are bright yellow (2) (3) (5) (6). The wings are long and broad, and the tail rounded. The female bald eagle is larger than the male, but otherwise similar in appearance (2) (3) (5). The call of this species is relatively weak, seeming rather inadequate for such a large bird (3). The juvenile bald eagle can be recognised by its entirely dark brown plumage, mottled with white, and by the dark eye and beak. It takes at least five years to reach full adult plumage."

"text": "How do the feathers of bald eagles molt and change color? Posted on March 11, 2011 by Bob Hatcher During the first year of a bald eagle’s life, its feathers go through a series of feather molts and color changes. Silky down feathers at its hatching are gradually replaced by stronger flight feathers by the time they can first fly at about 12 weeks age. Each year after that, they gradually molt and replace all their feathers each year. Their feathers are primarily brown during their juvenile years of 1 – 3 years age. The brown head and tail feathers are replaced by white feathers when they reach sexual maturity at 4 – 5 years age. See the archived 2008 Live Eagle Nest Cam of the American Eagle Foundation to see pictures of eaglets from day one to six weeks age. More details concerning Bald Eagle feathers and molting are provided below:“Bald Eagle Plumages”, from Life Histories of North American Birds of Prey, by Authur Cleveland Bent. When first hatched the downy young eaglet is completely covered with long, thick, silky down, longest on the head; it is “smoke gray” on the back, pale gray on the head and under parts, and nearly white on the throat. When the young bird is about three weeks old this light gray or whitish down is pushed out and replaced by short, woolly, thick down of a dark, sooty-gray color, “hair brown” to “drab.”"

Bald Eagles take about 5.5 years to mature to the typical white head and tail and solidly dark chocolate brown body, legs and wing feathers of an adult. The bald eagle above is one year old and is a dark brown over all, the chest and back are a bit lighter. The eyes are a dark brown and the bill is dark with some yellow. A one year old eagle will show some white on the underside of the wings in the axillaries and coverts. The circumstances when I photographed this eagle were pretty remarkable and I hope to do a post on it later.

Army Corps of Engineers Along with an official flower and motto, every state has its own official bird. But flying high above them all is the bald eagle, representing the United States of America. Images of the iconic bird can be found just about everywhere, from coins and paper currency to passports and the president's official seal. But why this bird? The idea for using the bald eagle to symbolize America was proposed in 1782, when a drawing of the eagle was presented to the newly-formed Congress, according the U. S. National Archives. It was immediately accepted, and soon an olive branch and arrows (representing peace and war, respectively) were included in the eagle's talons. The bald eagle was officially adopted as the emblem of the United States five years later, in 1787. The bald eagle was chosen because of its association with authority and statehood in fact, the eagle had been used as a symbol of governmental power since Roman times. President John F. Kennedy added to the list of noble descriptors when he wrote to Charles Callison of the National Audubon Society on July 18, 1961: \"\"The founding fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation ."

This involves a LOT of critical steps, and scientists are still trying to figure out a lot of the details. Because of the huge variation in the timing of breeding in North America, it's impossible to make a phenology chart with the precise timing for every place. But the steps involved in nesting have to happen in the same order. Eagle family and nest Establish territory and build nest (1-3 months). Egg Laying Incubating Eggs Taking Care of Nestlings Taking Care of Fledglings Territory Defense and Nest Building: 1 - 3 months Eagles are tricky to study because the male and female look so much alike, and because they are so wary of humans near their nest. Some pairs may approach nesting in a different way than others, but it's hard to be sure. Scientists have observed some mating behaviors on wintering grounds, but have also seen some males and females start courting in breeding areas. Females seem to be the ones who choose the territory and the nesting tree, because when a female loses her mate, she usually very quickly attracts a new male, even if she's already sitting on eggs fertilized by her first mate. Both the male and female bring nesting materials; some eagle researchers believe it's the female who usually places the sticks in the nest."

"text": "\"Ricin (on Breaking Bad)via Breaking Bad Wiki Yesterday, an envelope addressed to Senator Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, was found to contain a white granular substance that was identified as ricin. Today, a similar letter addressed to President Obama was found. These envelopes were intercepted off-site--they never got anywhere near their targets--but as a precaution, Capitol Police have shut down mail service until they can figure out what's going on. In the meantime, let's talk about ricin!How poisonous is it? Oh, man. Very. It's dangerous in just about any way it gets into your system, though ingesting (eating) it is about the least dangerous way. Injecting or inhaling requires about a thousand times less ricin to kill a human than ingesting, and that's a very small amount indeed. An average adult needs only 1.78mg of ricin injected or inhaled to die; that's about the size of a few grains of table salt--which ricin resembles visually.

This article will address how to feed and hydrate a sick goat with health problems that the goat producer has some chance of solving. When a goat gets sick, it needs quick attention. Goats are not the indestructible tin-can-eaters of Saturday morning cartoon fame. While they are adaptable and hardy in many respects, goats stress easily and sometimes give up quickly when they are ill. In today's highly-managed meat-goat herds, many health problems are the direct result of improper management and feeding by the producer. Meat goats were never intended to be pen-raised animals. In terms of how they live and eat in natural surroundings, they are \"\"first cousins\"\" to deer -- roaming over many acres daily, while carefully selecting the choicest plants to eat. Confinement leads to health problems in meat goats. Rumen-related Problems: A common problem in managed herds is rumen-related."

The link between water and blood pressure is a rather common one. For instance, water is known to play a key part in preventing dehydration and maintaining normal blood pressure levels. The body cries for water, and without it, dehydration can lead to low blood pressure—also called hypotension. This is due to a reduced blood volume that lowers pressure against the artery walls. At the same time, can dehydration cause blood pressure to rise? This article will explore the link between drinking water and blood pressure in greater detail, including how drinking water lowers blood pressure, the link between dehydration and blood pressure, the effect drinking too much water has on blood pressure, and the do’s and don’ts when it comes to drinking water and blood pressure.

"text": "Introduction to Myeloma FAQ 1 What Is Myeloma So the first question that we get asked by patients is what is this and what is this disease going to do to me? Multiple myeloma is a disease in your bone marrow. Inside your bone marrow are the cells that make your blood, your red cells, your white cells, and your platelets. In addition, the bone marrow also is right next to your bone and plays a key role in maintaining the strength of the bone. Since this is a cancer in the bone marrow, the most common problems with myeloma patients get into is when they have crowding out of their normal bone marrow cells with these cancer cells, the green grass, if you will, doesn’t grow and patients are: 1) unable to make red cells and they become anemic, 2) they may not make white cells so that these blood counts drop making them more susceptible to infection, and 3) they may drop their platelet count, and, therefore, are more susceptible to bleeding. In fact, most commonly it’s anemia that occurs which can make the patient have fatigue and short of breath. In addition, because again the bone marrow is right next to the bone, the myeloma cells do not allow the bones to function normally. The bones resorb- in other words, they lose bone. When this happens, they break down and weaken so that patients experience bone pain and they often have fractures especially of the spine, hip bones and ribs. Now it turns out that these myeloma cancer cells are derived from a type of normal white cell called a plasma cell."

Having chronic hepatitis B increases your risk of developing liver failure, liver cancer or cirrhosis — a condition that permanently scars of the liver. Most adults with hepatitis B recover fully, even if their signs and symptoms are severe. Infants and children are more likely to develop a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection. A vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, but there's no cure if you have the condition. If you're infected, taking certain precautions can help prevent spreading the virus to others. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of hepatitis B range from mild to severe. They usually appear about one to four months after you've been infected, although you could see them as early as two weeks post-infection. Some people, usually young children, may not have any symptoms."

How much longer can this last? She lived with my father until his death nearly four years ago. Since then, she has lived with me, my husband and two daughters. Expert Answers Paula Spencer Scott is the author of Surviving Alzheimer's. A Met Life Foundation Journalists in Aging fellow, she writes extensively about health and caregiving; four of her family members have had dementia. The general rule of thumb is that someone with Alzheimer's has half the life expectancy of a peer without this disease. So the average 70- year- old woman can expect to live 16 years, but a 70-year-old with Alzheimer's has an 8-year life expectancy. Of course, there's no crystal ball of certainty, which helps explain why your mother has already outlived that statistic. Life expectancy also depends on the age at diagnosis (the later in life you're diagnosed, the less time you're expected to live) and on general health condition."

When kidneys shut down, various health problems like fluid retention, heart failure, shortness of breath, anemia, mental confusion, seizure and coma will occur. What is worse, patients have to stick on regular dialysis to remove waste products and toxins produced in their body. Therefore, stopping kidneys from shutting down is crucial for all the people, not only kidney disease patients. For healthy people: The followings are the several tips for healthy people to protect their kidneys:1. Monitor blood pressure and blood sugar regular, as Hypertension and Diabetes are proven to be the leading two causes for kidney failure.2. Quit smoking and drinking3. Stay well-hydrated. Drinking less water will increase your risk for kidney stone which can cause progressive shuting down of kidney if not treated well.4.

"text": "How Long Does Alcohol Stay In Your System In this article, we will discuss how alcohol affects the body of the one who drinks it; what happens to the body if you drink uncontrollable levels of alcohol for a long period of time; how long alcohol stays in the body; how long can they be detectable; and ways to detect alcohol in the body. How Long Does Alcohol Stay In Your System? How long alcohol stays in your system depends on how much you have drunk and eaten, how fast your metabolism is, your body size and gender [ 3]. When it comes to alcohol tolerance, males are greater than females, fat is greater than thin, tall is greater than short, middle age is greater than adolescents and elderly, Westerners are greater than Easterners, and drunkards are greater than social drinkers. Here is a table on how long a body can metabolize a specific level of alcohol: How long can alcohol be metabolized? Image Source: potsdam.edu How Long Does Alcohol Stay In Your Blood?10 ml of pure alcohol [ 3] or 0.015 blood alcohol content (BAC) [ 4] takes 1 hour to be broken down. To reveal a negative blood test for alcohol, you have to wait for 12 hours [ 5]. But of course, this time is not applicable for someone who just drunk a barrel of alcohol. It depends on how much you have drunk and eaten, how fast your metabolism is, your body size and gender [ 3]. How Long Does Alcohol Stay In Your Urine? It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes for an alcoholic drink to reach your kidneys [ 6, 7, 8]. 5-10% of the ingested alcohol goes to the kidneys [ 6, 7]. As previously discussed, antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin is being suppressed, resulting to decreased reabsorption of fluid in the body, hence frequent urination happens. So for about 20 minutes, a fraction or all of that 5-10% is being excreted as urine [ 7, 8]. Having the alcohol excreted as a part of the urine doesn’t mean it ends there. It leaves trace elements in your body that is why it can be detected if you have been consuming alcohol, say for this week."

In most countries, the academic year begins with the start of autumn and ends during the following summer. In Southern Hemisphere countries, this means that the academic year lasts from February or March to November or December. In the Northern Hemisphere countries, it lasts from August or September to May, June or July instead. The summer may or may not be part of the term system. Academic Terms An academic term is a division of an academic year, the time during which a school, college or university holds classes. These divisions may be called terms. The schedule adopted by institutions of learning or education systems vary widely. In general: Semester - Divides the academic year into two terms, roughly 16 - 18 weeks each. Trimester - Divides the academic year into three terms, roughly 14 - 16 weeks each."

Your temporary grade does not end a term, thus like how some primary and secondary schools split their 18 week semester into two 9 week quarters, each quarter does not consist of a term, but as a progress term, not an official term."

They affect more than 80% of mums-to-be at some stage in their pregnancy, and some women start having them in the very early weeks of pregnancy. Just how early can hot flushes start? They can start straight away following conception, and some mums-to-be identify them as one of their earliest pregnancy symptoms. But independent midwife Helen Taylor, of Midwife Care, warns that hot flushes are “not the most common symptom of early pregnancy by a long way and I wouldn’t describe them as a reliable sign of pregnancy” – especially if they’re you’re only symptom.

"text": "\"Prenatal diagnostic testing is used to determine whether your baby has a chromosomal abnormality. The most common types of prenatal diagnostic tests available are chorionic villus sampling (often simply called “CVS”) and amniocentesis (often simply called “amnio”). At Advanced Women’s Imaging we are experienced at performing chorionic villus sampling (both the transabdominal and transvaginal approaches) and amniocentesis. Chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis are different from prenatal screening tests such as nuchal translucency scans. Prenatal diagnostic testing is considered an invasive way of determining the presence or absence of a chromosome abnormality. These tests involve putting a needle into either the placenta or amniotic sac of the developing pregnancy and hence they are associated with an increased risk of miscarriage. These tests are usually performed only in certain situations. Prenatal diagnostic testing (CVS and amniocentesis) provide a definitive (100%) diagnosis of a chromosome abnormality. For example, CVS/amniocentesis will tell us either“no, the baby definitely does not have a chromosome abnormality\"\", or,“yes, the baby definitely has a chromosome abnormality\"\". This is different from the results of combined first trimester screening (nuchal translucency scan and specific blood tests)."

Last month I wrote about changes in International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes that will occur in relation to gynecologic services, but now it’s time to tackle obstetric services. For obstetricians, the changes will be all about definitions. And documentation of obstetric conditions will be more complicated due to several factors, including the need to report trimester information and gestational age, use of a placeholder code, more complex guidelines for certain conditions, chorionicity for multiple gestations, and use of a 7th digit to identify the fetus with a problem. No one is expecting clinicians to instantly be fluent in code-speak, but in order for the most specific diagnoses to be reported, the clinical documentation must be spot on. Think of it this way: ICD-10-CM is not requiring you to document more, it’s requiring you to document more precisely. How to get started Figuring out where you are now goes a long way toward knowing where you need to be when the calendar changes to October 1—and the best way to do it is to perform a gap analysis. This analysis can be carried out by the clinician or a qualified practice staff person. To begin, run a report of the distinct obstetric codes you have billed in 2015 by frequency."

How many people died in the US Civil War? Answer by Peter Cranny Confidence votes 33.7KThe American Civil War was one of the deadliest wars in American History. As many as 620,000 individuals lost their lives during the Civil War, more than in any other war before or since. Confederate deaths were about 260,000 of which 93,000 were killed in combat, while Union deaths were 360,000 of which 110,000 deaths were in combat. Disease was the major cause of death in the civil war. Out of 620,000 deaths, over 400,000 were from diseases. In total deaths the American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history (although in combat related deaths, World War II remains the deadliest conflict with 292,000 combat deaths).

"text": "\"Study: U. S. regime has killed 20-30 million people since World War Two James A. Lucas Counter Currents.org Tue, 24 Apr 2007 06:35 UTCIntroduction After the catastrophic attacks of September 11 2001 monumental sorrow and a feeling of desperate and understandable anger began to permeate the American psyche. A few people at that time attempted to promote a balanced perspective by pointing out that the United States had also been responsible for causing those same feelings in people in other nations, but they produced hardly a ripple. Although Americans understand in the abstract the wisdom of people around the world empathizing with the suffering of one another, such a reminder of wrongs committed by our nation got little hearing and was soon overshadowed by an accelerated \"\"war on terrorism.\"\" But we must continue our efforts to develop understanding and compassion in the world. Hopefully, this article will assist in doing that by addressing the question \"\"How many September 11ths has the United States caused in other nations since WWII?\"\" This theme is developed in this report which contains an estimated numbers of such deaths in 37 nations as well as brief explanations of why the U. S. is considered culpable. The causes of wars are complex. In some instances nations other than the U. S. may have been responsible for more deaths, but if the involvement of our nation appeared to have been a necessary cause of a war or conflict it was considered responsible for the deaths in it. In other words they probably would not have taken place if the U. S. had not used the heavy hand of its power. The military and economic power of the United States was crucial."

"text": "\"How many people hade died in all the American wars? Question Date: 2007-01-12Answer 1: This is a surprisingly hard question to answer. Part of the problem is deciding what we mean by \"\"died in war.\"\" We could just count all the soldiers who died, or we could also include all of the civilians who were also killed by soldiers. Wars generally cause lots of disease and starvation, too. Farmland, water supplies, and homes are often destroyed (accidentally or on purpose) so many people have to go hungry and live in unsanitary conditions. These deaths due to disease and starvation are usually much higher than the number of people who died on the battlefield. Another problem is that it's not clear what we would call \"\"American\"\" wars. The USA took a major part in World Wars I and II, but the number of deaths caused or suffered by the Americans was really only a small fraction of the total. To give you an example, in World War II, about 300,000 Americans died on the battlefield, about 15 million soldiers worldwide died on the battlefield, but about 58 million people died in total, including soldiers and civilians."

How many did perish in this conflict, fought before the era of modern record-keeping and DNA identification? The US Civil War was incontrovertibly the bloodiest, most devastating conflict in American history, and it remains unknown - and unknowable - exactly how many men died in Union and Confederate uniform. Now, it appears a long-held estimate of the war's death toll could have undercounted the dead by as many as 130,000. That is 21% of the earlier estimate - and more than twice the total US dead in Vietnam. The Civil War began in 1861 when southern slave-holding states, fearing the institution of slavery was under threat in a nation governed by northern free states, seceded from the US after the election of President Abraham Lincoln. It ended in 1865 with the surrender of the southern, or Confederate forces, to the Union army; slavery was officially abolished by constitutional amendment that year. Proportionate to the US's 2012 population, 7.5m US soldiers died in the War; above, Arlington Cemetery The war devastated the economy and society of the agrarian southern states where most of the fighting occurred, and killed so many Americans it was impossible directly to tally the dead. \"\" The Civil War left a culture of death, a culture of mourning, beyond anything Americans had ever experienced or imagined,\"\" says David Blight, a Civil War historian at Yale University. \"\" It left a degree of family and social devastation unprecedented for any Western society. \"\""

"text": "\"Roberto Muehlenkamp, legal adviser and amateur historian Answered Feb 4, 2017 · Author has 418 answers and 978.5k answer views My estimate of the total number of war deaths throughout human history and prehistory is about 1.64 billion, as I wrote in, among others, this answer. This order of magnitude may be on the high side, considering that the violent events listed by Matthew White as \"\"humanity’s 100 deadliest achievements\"\" caused less than 0.5 billion deaths in total, see my answer to the question What was/is the most violent century recorded in history? Before the 20th Century, most deaths due to war were from epidemic diseases caused or intensified by war, as was pointed out in an article that appeared in Time magazine on 29 April 1940: In Europe's bloody wars, for every ten men slain by the enemy, pestilence has killed its thousands. In the Thirty Years' War, an estimated 8,000,000 Germans were wiped out by flea-borne bubonic plague and louse-borne typhus fever. On Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, typhus, dysentery and pneumonia killed 450,000 of the Grand Army's 500,000 men. World War I was the first war in history in which guns were more deadly than germs. Battlefield deaths totaled 8,000,000; deaths from disease, 3,000,000. Yet, despite the great achievements of medical science, disease was still a potent wartime killer. According to Matthew White’s page Worldwide Statistics of Casualties, Massacres, Disasters and Atrocities, 123 million people died in wars of the 20th Century. Deducting these 123 million from the aforementioned 1.64 billion yields 1.517 billion people who died in wars prior to the 20th Century."

Among them: The US government ignores the Philippine War. The total given by the VA for the Indian Wars (\"\"1,000\"\") seems to be a wild guess. Just two major defeats -- Custer's and St. Clair's -- add up to about 900 dead all by themselves. The official number of Americans killed in the Revolutionary War (4,435) is only about 2/3 the numbers usually given by historians. The total of US combat deaths during the Civil War is given as 140,414 -- or some 30,000 higher than most historians would estimate. I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the boost may come from the Do D counting deaths among POWs as combat rather than disease. I can't think of where else they'd get 30,000 more war dead.

Their wars with the Cherokee, Shawnee and other nations, together with the smallpox, depleted their numbers greatly. In 1764 the province of South Carolina alloted them 15 miles square in York and Lancaster counties.

Fighting together and quickly obeying the commands of the officers was a key to victory. Between the drills, soldiers would do chores such as cooking their meals, fixing their uniforms, or cleaning equipment. If they had some free time they might play games such as poker or dominoes.

With the defeat of the Southern Confederacy and the subsequent passage of the XIII, XIV, and XV amendments to the Constitution, the Civil War’s lasting effects include abolishing the institution of slavery in America and firmly redefining the United States as a single, indivisible nation rather than a loosely bound collection of independent states. Milestones It was a war that saw many “firsts” that included America’s first income tax, the first battle between ironclad ships, the first extensive use of black soldiers and sailors in U. S. service, the first use of quinine to treat typhoid fever, America’s first military draft, and many others. There were advances in medical treatment, military tactics, and the chaplain service."

Answer Men who died of diseases caused by living conditions commonly had dysentery, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, pneumonia, malaria, small pox or measles. Of those who were injured, other infections and gangrene were the major causes of death. Back in those times, there was not as clear an understanding of how diseases were passed from one person to another. Certainly, the conditions that they lived and fought in (fox holes, lack of food and supplies, swamps, etc.) contributed to the high death rate. Answer Disease in a way.

As a result of the long-standing controversy over slavery, war broke out in April 1861, when Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after U. S. President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed loyalty to the U. S. Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States, who advocated for states' rights to expand slavery. Among the 34 U. S. states in February 1861, seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the U. S. to form the Confederate States of America, or the South. The Confederacy grew to include eleven slave states. The Confederacy was never diplomatically recognized by the United States government, nor was it recognized by any foreign country (although the United Kingdom and France granted it belligerent status ). The states that remained loyal to the U. S. (including the border states where slavery was legal) were known as the Union or the North. The Union and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years. The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House, followed by a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states."

A tank to the weak central government and the different policy making the country was divided in two. The North (the union as they called it) and the South (or the Confederation). What triggered the war was the question about slavery. The North or the Union banned slavery and was developing very fast in the industrial area and they needed workers. The South however or the Confederation still had practiced and approved slavery and they were against banning it. So the fights started after the Confederation bombed the Union fort made on Confederation territory. Below photos represent: Rebel Cannons at Antietam Battlefield: (photo 1) The Matthews House (Stone House), Manassas, National Battlefield (photo 2)It is supposed that at least 620,000 Americans died in the American civil war (experts even mention the number of 700,000. Have in mind that the record keeping at that time was with practically non-existent).

"text": "\"Plastic Water Bottles Impose Health and Environmental Risks Published On August 23, 2012 | By Hannah Ellsbury | Articles When it comes to disposable containers, no product gets as much flack as the infamous plastic water bottle. Criticized for the contents on the inside (which are often said to taste exactly like tap water) as well as for packaging on the outside, these portable bottles can cause quite a stir. A growing wasteland One of the most obvious impacts of plastic bottles is what happens after the water has been consumed. Despite recycling infrastructure that exists in order to facilitate the recycling of these bottles, according to the Container Recycling Institute, 86% of plastic water bottles used in the US become garbage that ends up in landfills throughout the country. Considering that approximately 60 million plastic water bottles are used every day in the US, we can assume that nearly 18,834,000,000 end up in the landfill each year. Each bottle can take up to 700 years to decompose. The landfill issue, however, is not limited to plastic bottles. According to recycleacrossamerica.org, more than 28 billion glass bottles and jars also end up in landfills each year. Even though consumers may think they are recycling, a study conducted by the Container Recycling Institute shows that 40% of all glass bottles put in single-stream recycling bins end up in the landfill and unlike plastic, glass that ends up in a landfill will never decompose. Energy consumption According to National Geographic, if we take into consideration the energy required to manufacture, transport and dispose of plastic water bottles in the United States, between 15-17 million barrels of oil (enough to fuel more than 100,000 cars for an entire year) are used each year in order to meet consumer demands."

"text": "\"By alex hutchinson Nov 12, 2008 293Photograph by Greg Miller The modern era of recycling began in the meandering wake of the Mobro 4000. The infamous garbage barge spent much of 1987 traveling up and down the eastern seaboard looking for a place to dump its 3000-ton load of New York trash. It was refused at every port. By the time the spurned vessel returned to Long Island, still ferrying its fetid cargo, it had become the poster child for what was trumpeted as a national crisis: dwindling landfill space. Faced with the scale of their own refuse, Americans took action. Nascent recycling programs blossomed into major operations. Municipalities invested in trucks for curbside pickups and in facilities to handle mountains of castoff material. Kindergartners were taught the virtues of separating clear glass from green. Almost overnight, it seemed, recycling was embraced by the public as a kind of all-purpose absolution for our environmental sins. Yet doubts remained."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Resource recovery is using wastes as an input material to create products of value. The point of resource recovery is to extract the maximum benefit from products and reduce the amount of waste generated. Resource recovery delays the need to use raw materials in the manufacturing process. For example, the following materials found in municipal solid waste can be recovered and used to make new products: plastic, paper, aluminium, glass and metal. Resource recovery goes further than just the management of waste. Life-cycle analysis (LCA) can be used to compare the resource recovery potential of different technologies. One goal is to reduce the need for landfill space. A number of studies on municipal solid waste (MSW) report that reuse should be favoured over landfill disposal. Improvements to administration, source separation and collection should be followed by reuse and recycling. For example, organic materials that undergo anaerobic digestion can be turned into energy, compost or fertilizer."

Here are the numbers: Americans generated 251 million tons of trash in 2006, the most recent year for which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has data. Our per capita trash disposal rate was 4.6 pounds per person, per day. Sixty-five percent came from residences, while 35 percent came from schools and commercial locations such as hospitals and businesses. Where does it all end up? Fifty-five percent gets buried in landfills, 33 percent gets recycled, and 12.5 percent goes to incinerators. Collecting and transporting trash and recyclables is a mammoth task. According to the National Solid Waste Management Association, the solid waste industry employs 368,000 people. They use 148,000 vehicles to move garbage to 1,754 landfills and 87 incinerators."

That still doesn’t account for the plastic that is still floating out there. By other way of interesting recycling facts for kids is that plastics are in everyday items (recycled of course) we use.

These three components are so important that they are represented by the three “chasing arrows” of the recycling logo. Collection – Don’t Send Recyclables To The Landfill In this phase, materials are separated from the waste stream and prepared to become raw materials. Different cities and municipalities have different systems for sorting and collecting materials that can be recycled. Collect recyclables through the curbside and campus recycling program and the public drop off center. Once collected, we sort the material on campus into various categories. Manufacturing – Using Recycled Materials Instead Of Virgin Raw Materials Recovering the materials is just the first step. There must also be a market for it – companies that want the materials and are able to remanufacture them into consumer products. Sometimes these companies have to invest a significant amount of money in adapting their manufacturing processes to accommodate the use of recycled materials in their products."

Unfortunately, your cells can’t fill out census forms, so they can’t tell you themselves. And while it’s easy enough to look through a microscope and count off certain types of cells, this method isn’t practical either. Some types of cells are easy to spot, while others–such as tangled neurons–weave themselves up into obscurity. Even if you could count ten cells each second, it would take you tens of thousands of years to finish counting. Plus, there would be certain logistical problems you’d encounter along the way to counting all the cells in your body–for example, chopping your own body up into tiny patches for microscopic viewing. For now, the best we can hope for is a study published recenty in Annals of Human Biology, entitled, with admirable clarity, “An Estimation of the Number of Cells in the Human Body. ”The authors–a team of scientists from Italy, Greece, and Spain–admit that they’re hardly the first people to tackle this question."

"text": "The Largest and Smallest Cells in the Human Body Biology Our bodies are complicated and endlessly fascinating. It is estimated that there are roughly 10,000 trillion cells in the average human body, although estimates vary hugely and as many as 50 trillion cells has also been given as an average. The cell is one of our most basic structures and before we identify the largest and smallest cells in our bodies, let’s take a look at what a cell actually is. There are many different types of cell in the human body. These include nerve, muscle, sperm and egg cells. To be a little more technical, there are two cell types that make up everything that lives on Earth. These are called Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The former contain no ‘nucleus’ and the latter, like the cells in the human body, have a ‘nucleus’. A human cell is held within a cell, or plasma, membrane. Inside the membrane are the cytoplasm and the nucleus."

"text": "\"Chapter 3: On the Job: Cellular Specialties By Alison Davis Liver cells look almost nothing like nerve cells. Muscle cells bear little physical resemblance to white blood cells. Yet every cell (with just a few exceptions) is encased in a membrane, contains a nucleus full of genes, and has ribosomes, mitochondria, ER, and Golgi. How can cells be so similar, yet so different? Despite decades of hard work, cell biologists still don't fully understand how developing cells turn into all the different types in your body. But they do know that this process, called differentiation, is governed by genes. Your body \"\"tunes\"\" the genes of each cell type differently. Depending on where in the body it is located, a given gene can be turned off, weakly on, or strongly on. For example, the gene for globin, which composes hemoglobin, is strongly on in cells that will mature into red blood cells and off in every other cell type. Cells control the tuning, or expression, of genes by keeping a tight rein on RNA polymerase."

Carbohydrates and fatty acids are gradually broken down to simpler carbohydrates, and then oxidized in our cells ... producing energy, carbon dioxide, and water. It's basically a highly controlled process of burning our food that gives us the energy we need to live. Another critical purpose oxygen plays is that it is part of the water molecule: cells are about 70-90% water by mass, and without water and its ability to form hydrogen bonds life would likely not be possible at all. So in fact, because of the very high water content, the human body is mostly oxygen, by mass. You can be assured that it plays many, many important roles in the body, not just one. Of course oxygen, in the form of O2, has many effects on the body - it is highly reactive, and so it has to be carefully handled to avoid tissue damage, especially from the more reactive oxygen species that sometimes result from metabolic processes. EDIT: On the other hand, as User pointed out, reactive oxygen species and oxygen halides are also purposefully produced during metabolism, and are used, together with specialized proteins, to kill harmful invasive bacteria in vacuoles contained within neutrophils.

You may have heard that there are ten microbial cells in your body for every one of yours—and it turns out you might have heard wrong. Photograph by Ian Cuming, Alamy PUBLISHED January 13, 2016Your body is a microbial melting pot, home to trillions of bacteria that help keep you healthy and regular. And for decades, scientists have shown their importance with this alluring factoid: The microbes in your body outnumber your own cells ten to one. But a new estimate indicates that, as far as cell counts are concerned, it may well be a tie. In a new study posted ahead of publication on the bio Rxiv website, three scientists led by the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Ron Milo find that the average human male is made of 30 trillion cells and contains about 40 trillion bacteria, most of which reside in his digestive tract. In other words, your body’s cell count is regularly poised to overtake the bacteria—and sometimes it does, depending on how recently you rid yourself of a few trillion via a bowel movement.

Years, if frozen and stored properly, but they may not stay “alive and growing.” “ Normal” human cells will eventually stop proliferating. That’s because it’s normal to stop dividing when you’ve accumulated DNA mistakes, run out of telomeres, or generally been stressed by culture. With better culture conditions that more accurately replicate the body (i.e. nutrition, growth factors, hormones) they’ll grow for longer; in this chart you can see that media formulations (colors) allow for different proliferation and lengths of culture of human mammary epithelial cells.

The sun, like many other celestial bodies, spins around on an axis that passes through its center. The rotation of the sun, together with the turbulent motion of the sun's outer surface, work together to create magnetic forces. These forces give rise to sunspots, prominences, solar flares and ejections of matter from the solar surface. Astronomers can study the rotation of stars in the sky by using an instrument called a spectroscope. What they have discovered is that the speed of a star's rotation depends on its age and its mass. Young stars rotate faster than old stars, and massive stars tend to rotate faster than low-mass stars. Large stars like supergiants, rotate hardly at all because they are so enormous they reach almost to the orbit of Jupiter. On the other hand, very compact neutron stars rotate 30 times each second and are only 40 kilometers across. The X-ray telescope on the Hinode satellite creates movies of the rotating sun, and makes it easy to see this motion."

For a few months, before and after that date, the comet will be visible from our vantage point on the Earth — but, alas, not as well as it was in 1910. We begin the inaugural issue of The Universe in the Classroom with an in-depth look at Comet Halley (pronounced to rhyme with \"\"Sally'') and its upcoming \"\"not-so-close encounter'' with the Earth. What exactly are comets? Why does Comet Halley come back regularly? Why is the comet named Halley? Is Comet Halley on target for its rendezvous with the inner solar system? How well will we be able to see Comet Halley this time around? Here in the United States, when will be the best times to see the comet?"

"text": "\"by Ben Harder Science News March 23, 2002from Find Articles Website More than 4.5 billion years ago, the sun and its planets were taking shape from a rotating disk of ice, gas, and dust. This protosolar nebula was hotter and denser toward its center and cooler and less dense farther out. These gradients profoundly influenced the chemical composition of different regions of the early solar system, including the distribution of water. Close to the nebula's center, high temperatures and pressures vaporized ice crystals and the light elements and compounds called volatiles. The action blew these materials toward the outskirts of the nebula, leaving mainly grains of rock behind to form the inner planets. Farther out, debris coalesced in meteorites called carbonaceous chondrites, which carry up to 10 percent of their mass in ice. The giant outer planets, such as Saturn and Jupiter, that arose in this neighborhood also contain some ice. Beyond these planets, water condensed in large quantities and formed comets, which are about half ice. Compared with these icy objects, Earth contains little water. Only about 0.02 percent of its mass is in its oceans, and somewhat more water sits beneath the surface."

It has 1 400 times the volume of our Earth, but is only 300 times as heavy because the planet must be made up of gas rather than rocks or metal. It takes Jupiter almost 12 years to orbit the sun. But it rotates on its own axis very quickly – it completes one full turn every 10 hours. If you look at Jupiter closely, you can see stripes , probably clouds that are created by fast-moving winds. We don't know very much about Jupiter because not very many spaceships have visited it. In 1979 two American Voyager spacecraft flew past Jupiter and gave us lots of new information. Today we know that most of the planet consists of gases - hydrogen and helium - and does not have a hard core, like the Earth. In 1994 a big comet crashed into Jupiter and stirred up the planet's atmosphere. Scientists could find out what kind of gases Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of."

What You Will Learn The idea of an ice age has sparked much controversy as well as much imagination. In the framework of an earth that is billions of years old, it is believed that there have been many ice ages. These are believed to have been of different length and intensity, with several covering the entire globe in a snowball earth scenario. How life was able to evolve during these periods is not understood, but there are many more problems for the long-age ideas of ice ages. The most significant problem is the explanation of a mechanism that could turn an ice age on and off. Using uniformitarian principles, there is no way to explain, in a consistent manner, how even a single ice age could occur, let alone many over millions of years. When we start our reasoning from the truth of Scripture, we can develop a model to help us understand the one and only Ice Age."

It’s an important question, and a basic part of our grasp of the universe itself. To study astronomy, it’s essential to understand what’s out there, how everything relates, and where we fit in the universe. The problem is that the size scales, the relative general sizes of classes of objects, are too foreign for things much larger than Earth. In a big universe, this can be a challenge."

"text": "Ellis Island BIBLIOGRAPHYWhen people today refer to Ellis Island, they generally invoke its legacy in the national saga of immigration to America, standing with the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor as a beacon of opportunity for the world ’ s dispossessed. However, the building of a federal facility at the site of an old naval arsenal on Ellis Island in 1892 grew out of the newly established federal authority to regulate and restrict immigration. Before federal processing was institutionalized at Ellis Island, states had the right to set the criteria for the suitability of immigrants, with an interest in recruiting labor and excluding potential wards of the state. Two-thirds of the migrants to the United States between 1786 and 1892 came through New York City, and after 1855 immigration processing, including medical exams, customs inspection, and name registration, took place at Castle Garden in lower Manhattan, where social reformers set up voluntary services to help immigrants find work and housing. Similar immigration stations were located in Boston, Baltimore, and Galveston. With the emergence of a national economy and a national transportation system in the years following the Civil War (1861 – 1865), immigration fell increasingly under federal scrutiny, and the federal government passed laws to restrict the entry of immigrants thought to be undesirable. Early efforts restricted the entry of prostitutes, convicts, incapacitated people, and contract labor. The most important exception to general practices of open immigration was Chinese exclusion, codified in federal law as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, establishing the prerogative of the federal government to raise restrictive barriers against specific national groups and to mark them as permanently foreign, aliens without rights. Between 1880 and 1900, the pace of immigration to the United States increased dramatically, with nine million immigrants arriving in these years. Laborers from England, Ireland, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries were now joined by new arrivals from Italy, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Canada, Greece, Syria, the West Indies, Mexico, and Japan."

"text": "\"The Second Generation from the Last Great Wave of Immigration: Setting the Record Straight October 1, 2006 Feature By Richard Alba, Nancy Foner As a new second generation born to post-1965 immigrants comes of age and take its place in today's America, inevitably comparisons are made with the children of European immigrants in the last great wave. This is not surprising. Beginning around 1880 and ending in the mid-1920s, the last wave brought more than 23 million immigrants to the United States; by 1910 almost 15 percent of the population was foreign born. These earlier immigrants, the majority from southern, central, and eastern Europe, left a lasting imprint on the nation, and the experiences of their children have shaped our understanding of the processes of assimilation and becoming American. Today, this earlier second generation is usually portrayed as making rapid upward progress and achieving success with remarkable ease and speed. In popular accounts, it is a tale of rags-to-riches, as the second generation moved out of tenements and sweatshops to leafy middle-class suburbs and professional office suites. The academic literature also mostly focuses on the positives. The children of European immigrants, sociologists Alejandro Portes and Rubén Rumbaut have recently written, \"\"clawed their ways through schools and entrepreneurship into economic affluence. \"\" For many commentators, this account helps to distinguish the previous era of incorporation of mainly European immigrants and their descendants from the current one, in which immigrants to the United States come mostly from Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In contrast to the massive upward mobility and assimilation of the second generation during the mid-20th century, some researchers believe today's second generation faces far more uncertain and contingent prospects."

"text": "U. S. Immigration History When Ellis Island opened, a great change was taking place in U. S. immigration. Fewer arrivals were coming from northern and western Europe–Germany, Ireland, Britain and the Scandinavian countries–as more and more immigrants poured in from southern and eastern Europe. Among this new generation were Jews escaping from political and economic oppression in czarist Russia and eastern Europe (some 484,000 arrived in 1910 alone) and Italians escaping poverty in their country. There were also Poles, Hungarians, Czechs, Serbs, Slovaks and Greeks, along with non-Europeans from Syria, Turkey and Armenia. The reasons they left their homes in the Old World included war, drought, famine and religious persecution, and all had hopes for greater opportunity in the New World. After an arduous sea voyage, immigrants arriving at Ellis Island were tagged with information from their ship’s registry; they then waited on long lines for medical and legal inspections to determine if they were fit for entry into the United States. From 1900 to 1914–the peak years of Ellis Island’s operation–some 5,000 to 10,000 people passed through the immigration station every day. Approximately 80 percent successfully passed through in a matter of hours, but others could be detained for days or weeks. Many immigrants remained in New York, while others traveled by barge to railroad stations in Hoboken or Jersey City, New Jersey, on their way to destinations across the country. Ellis Island Museum of Immigration Passage of the Immigrant Quota Act of 1921 and the National Origins Act of 1924, which limited the number and nationality of immigrants allowed into the United States, effectively ended the era of mass immigration into New York."

It limited the privilege of US citizenship to \"\"free white persons.\"\" About a century later, immigration laws began to restrict who could enter the country. The 1882 Act to Regulate Immigration prohibited entry to \"\"any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge\"\". The law was designed to exclude immigrants whose undesirable conditions might prove costly to society – including convicted criminals, the poor, and the mentally ill. In that same year, the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first measure to specifically target immigrants by race or ethnicity. In the 1890's the federal government assumed sole jurisdiction to monitor immigration, a task that had previously been delegated by contract to states with port cities. The government built a depot on Ellis Island in New York Harbor, through which all immigrants were to be processed. Outbreaks of smallpox, typhus and cholera in New York between 1882 and 1892, heightened concern about the possibility of alien contagion prompted the adoption of individual health inspections for each arriving immigrant – especially for the contagious eye disease trachoma. Pressures for further immigration restrictions arose from several quarters of American society."

Why was mandatory detention introduced? What has happened since 1992? Howard Government Rudd/Gillard Governments Rudd Government Gillard Government What are the contentious issues? Inquiries Detention conditions Duration of detention Children in detention The issues in summary What are the alternatives? Statistical Appendix A: Immigration detainees 1989–2012Appendix B: Immigration detainees by category Appendix C: Unaccompanied minors in detention Appendix D: Community detention Appendix E: Key detention facilities Introduction The policy of mandatory detention in Australia (that is the legal requirement to detain all non-citizens without a valid visa) was introduced by the Keating (Labor) Government in 1992 in response to a wave of Indochinese boat arrivals. Under this policy it is a requirement that ‘unlawful non-citizens’ (a national from another country without a valid visa) in Australia's migration zone are detained unless they have been afforded temporary lawful status through the grant of a bridging visa while they make arrangements to depart or apply for an alternative visa. Most are usually granted temporary lawful status in this manner, but if an unlawful non-citizen is considered to be a flight or security risk, or refuses to leave Australia voluntarily, they may be refused a bridging visa and detained in preparation for their removal. [ 1]Currently, all asylum seekers who arrive without authority by boat are detained and usually transferred to Christmas Island initially while their reasons for being in Australia are identified. [ 2]The main focus of Australia’s mandatory detention policy is to ensure that:• people who arrive without lawful authority do not enter the Australian community until they have satisfactorily completed health, character and security checks and been granted a visa, and• those who do not have authority to be in Australia are available for removal from the country.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Immigration detention in the United States began in 1890s at Ellis Island. The administration of President Ronald Reagan further reacted to the mass migration of asylum seekers who arrived in boats from Haiti by establishing a program to interdict (i.e., stop and search certain vessels suspected of transporting undocumented Haitians). [ 1] As the number of undocumented immigrants who were fleeing economic and political conditions increased, President Bush Sr's administration attempted to find a regional location to handle the influx of refugees and migrants. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees arranged for several countries in the region— Belize, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela —to temporarily provide a safe haven for Haitians however the Coast Guard was becoming increasingly overcrowded from holding hundreds of refugees and by November 18, 1991, the United States forcibly returned 538 Haitians to Haiti. [ 2] Since the options for safe havens in third countries in the region proved inadequate for the sheer numbers of Haitians fleeing their country, the Coast Guard took them to the U. S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, where they were pre-screened for asylum in the United States. Mandatory detention was then officially authorized by President Bill Clinton in 1996 with the enactment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility acts. From 1996 to 1998, the number of immigrants in detention increased from 8,500 to 16,000 [3] and by 2008 this number increased to more than 30,000. [ 4] [5] According to the Global Detention Project, the United States possesses the largest immigration detention system in the world. [ 6] In 2003, the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was created under the Department of Homeland Security. ICE enforces the United States’ immigration and customs laws, uses investigative techniques to apprehend and detain those suspected of violating them, and then deports many of these individuals."

"text": "Overview: One of the Department of Homeland Security’s most important operations, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office is the second largest law enforcement organization in the US, topped only by the FBI. ICE enforces both immigration and customs laws, which involves going after illegal immigrants in US territory, employers who hire illegal immigrants and those trying to smuggle goods or contraband into the country. In the short time it has existed, ICE has been the subject of numerous controversies over its handling of illegal immigrants.more History: Immigration first became a political issue in the late 19th Century as waves of European and Asian immigrants flooded into the US. After the Civil War, some states started to pass their own immigration laws, which prompted the Supreme Court to rule in 1875 that immigration was the responsibility of the federal government, not the states. To solidify this duty, US officials created the Office of the Superintendent of Immigration within the Treasury Department in 1891. This office was responsible for admitting, rejecting and processing all immigrants seeking admission to the United States and for implementing national immigration policy. Legislation in March 1895 upgraded the Office of Immigration to the Bureau of Immigration and changed the agency head’s title from Superintendent to Commissioner-General of Immigration. Also during the 1890s, the legendary immigration station at Ellis Island in New York opened and became the nation’s largest and busiest immigrant-processing center well into the 20th Century. In 1906, Congress passed the Basic Naturalization Act which established naturalization procedures that have endured until today. The act encouraged state and local courts to relinquish their jurisdiction over immigrants to federal courts, and it expanded the Bureau of Immigration into the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization."

The government also appropriated money to build a new immigrant inspection station on Ellis Island. The Immigration Act assigned the Marine Hospital Service (later the Public Health Service) the responsibility of examining the health of immigrants entering the United States. Before construction of Ellis Island's first immigration depot began, the island was doubled in size with landfill. A ferry slip was dredged and a dock installed next to the main building site. A number of older buildings from the island's time as a military post were adapted for re-use. Ellis Island's first immigration building, constructed of Georgia pine, opened on January 1, 1892. The original immigration station c. 1892-1897National Archives and Records Administration Due to the economic depression at the time, immigration was light and Ellis Island inspectors had no difficulty in processing the fewer than 20,000 immigrants who arrived annually.

Ideas and Interests It is no exaggeration to characterize Henry Goddard as the father of intelligence testing in the United States. His biographer points out that he was either a leader or a participant in every significant event occurring during the genesis of American psychometrics. In the years between 1908 and 1918 he translated the Binet - Simon Intelligence Scale into English, distributed 22,000 copies of the test throughout the United States, advocated for its use in the public schools, established an intelligence testing program on Ellis Island, and served as a member of Robert Yerkes ' Army Alpha and Beta testing team during World War One (Zenderland, 1998, p.2). Goddard's contributions to public education were considerable as well: He helped draft the first state law mandating that schools provide special education, and stressed the need for public school reform by suggesting that normal children could benefit from the instructional techniques originally developed for use with retarded students (Zenderland, p. 124, 63). When Goddard began working in education he was an unlikely candidate for such a distinguished career. He spent his 20s working as a Quaker schoolteacher and principal, and he didn't begin his Ph. D. work until he was 30 years old. He graduated in 1899 and took a job teaching psychology and pedagogy at a state normal school in Pennsylvania."

[ 6] [7] These actions were ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after Imperial Japan 's attack on Pearl Harbor. [ 8]Japanese Americans were incarcerated based on local population concentrations and regional politics. More than 110,000 Japanese Americans in the mainland U. S., who mostly lived on the West Coast, were forced into interior camps. However, in Hawaii, where 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were also interned. [ 9] The internment is considered to have resulted more from racism than from any security risk posed by Japanese Americans. [ 10] [11] Those who were as little as 1/16 Japanese [12] and orphaned infants with \"\"one drop of Japanese blood\"\" were placed in internment camps. [ 13]Roosevelt authorized the deportation and incarceration with Executive Order 9066, issued on February 19, 1942, which allowed regional military commanders to designate \"\"military areas\"\" from which \"\"any or all persons may be excluded\"\". [ 14] This authority was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the West Coast, including all of California and parts of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, except for those in government camps.

"text": "Print Cite On November 12, 1954, the once bustling immigration inspection port at Ellis Island was shut down after more than 62 years in operation. Opened in 1892, the small island in New York Harbor served as the processing center and point of entry for more than 12 million new arrivals to the United States. The island has since become a storied and often controversial symbol of the plight of the immigrant, and it is estimated that more than one-third of all Americans can trace their lineage to someone who passed through its doors. Check out nine surprising facts about the port that once served as the main entryway to America. It was used for pirate hangings in the early 1800s. Long before it became a way station for people looking for a new beginning, Ellis Island —named for its last private owner, Samuel Ellis—was known as a place where condemned prisoners met their end. For most of the early 19th century, the island was used to hang convicted pirates, criminals and mutinous sailors, and New Yorkers eventually took to calling it “Gibbet Island” after the wooden post, or gibbet, where the bodies of the deceased were displayed. It reverted to the name “Ellis Island” in the years after the last hanging in 1839, and later served as a Navy munitions depot before being repurposed as a federal immigration station. The first immigrants to arrive at Ellis Island were three unaccompanied minors. Ellis Island accepted its first new arrivals on New Year’s Day 1892, when the steamship Nevada arrived with 124 passengers from Europe."

S. soil were taken in a place that has now become a legend—Ellis Island. Ellis Island was founded as a solution to a serious social crisis. New York’s previous immigrant processing station, a decaying fortress called Castle Garden, had become a pit of corruption and theft, where new immigrants had to run a gauntlet of swindlers, pickpockets, and armed robbers before escaping with their freedom and their paperwork. In order to ensure a safe, controlled, and regulated entry process, the federal government took over immigrant processing and erected a set of new, purpose-built facilities on an island in New York Harbor. Immigrants arrive at Ellis Island, 1906. The immigration station at Ellis Island represented a new type of government institution and, since its closing in 1932, has become an enduring symbol of the immigrant experience in the United States. During the forty years it operated, Ellis Island saw more than 12 million immigrants pass through its gates, at a rate of up to 5,000 people a day. For many generations of Americans, and for almost all Italian Americans, Ellis Island is the first chapter of their family’s story in the United States. Medical examination at Ellis Island, 1911."

It follows the Commission’s 2006, 2007 and 2008 annual reports on inspections of immigration detention facilities. [ 1]The Commission provided an advance copy of this report to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC). Their response is available on the Commission’s website at www.humanrights.gov.au/human_rights/immigration/idc2009_xmas_island_response.html . Back to top2 Summary In early 2008, the Commission commended the Australian Government for ending the so-called ‘Pacific solution’ by closing the offshore immigration detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island. Since then, the government has initiated further positive reforms, in particular the July 2008 announcement of ‘New Directions’ for Australia’s immigration detention system. [ 2]However, despite these positive changes, the Commission has ongoing concerns – one of the most critical being the mandatory detention and offshore processing of asylum seekers on Christmas Island. While there are clearly significant efforts being put into the detention and offshore processing system on Christmas Island, those efforts cannot overcome the fundamental problems with the system itself. The Commission’s major concerns can be summarised as follows: Excision and offshore processing Asylum seekers who arrive in excised offshore places such as Christmas Island are barred from the refugee status determination system that applies on the mainland under Australian law."

Referred to by some as former INS [2] and by others as legacy INS, the agency ceased to exist under that name on March 1, 2003, when most of its functions were transferred to three new entities – U.

"text": "By the time Ellis Island closed its doors, on this day, Nov. 12, in 1954, three decades had passed since it had welcomed waves of newcomers to America. Its active years, from 1892 to 1924, had nonetheless been so active that more than 40% of Americans can trace their ancestry back through its terracotta-ceilinged registry room, where 12 million immigrants entered the United States. At its peak, the immigration station processed people with assembly-line efficiency, sometimes doubling its maximum daily capacity of 5,000. The scene looked less like efficiency than like chaos, however, according to a 1985 report in TIME.“Given the confusion and the size of the mobs, it is astonishing that 80% got through within hours,” writes TIME’s Gregory Jaynes. “ They were jostled, pulled, pushed and misunderstood. There is the story of the Jew who cried out ‘Shoyn fargessen!’ — already forgotten — only to have his name set down upon his documents as Sean Ferguson. ”After entering through the baggage hold, would-be Americans climbed a flight of stairs to Ellis Island’s Great Hall, where inspectors were waiting to assess their fitness, according to Jaynes. He adds: They would mark them “H” for heart disease, “X” for dementia or perhaps just for looking stupid, “E” for eye problems. The immigrants were entitled to an interpreter. “"

By Courtney Coren | Friday, 20 Dec 2013 09:16 AMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A AJust 1 percent of illegal immigrants living in the United States last year were deported — a dramatic 25 percent drop from the previous year — a change the Obama Administration says is on purpose due to a shift in focus. The administration cites putting more focus on border security, those that have just recently crossed and illegal immigrants with steep criminal records as opposed to those who are living in the United States peacefully. As a result, in fiscal 2013 ended Sept. 30, only 133,551 illegal immigrants living in the country were deported by U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, The Washington Times reported. \"\" Increasing border security is a top priority, and the results you see today clearly illustrate our ongoing commitment to this goal,\"\" said John Sandweg, the acting director of ICE. There also has been a 10 percent drop in deportations when border and interior deportations are combined. In 2013, a total of 368,644 interior and border illegal immigrants were deported, compared with almost 410,000 in 2012. It is the lowest number of deportations since President Barack Obama took office. However, neither side of the immigration debate is happy with these numbers. Immigration rights advocates say that over 2 million illegal immigrants have been deported since Obama became president — many of which they allege were inhumane since many of those deported are parents of young children. \"\""

"text": "\"Were More People Deported Under the Obama Administration Than Any Other? A record number of people were \"\"deported\"\" from the U. S. during President Obama's tenure as president, due in large part to a change in definition.1KCLAIMA record number of people were deported from the U. S. during Barack Obama's tenure as President. RATINGMixture WHAT'S TRUEStatistically, more people were deported from the U. S. during the administration of President Barack Obama than during that of any other president. WHAT'S FALSEThat statistic was due in large part to a change in how \"\"deportations\"\" are defined rather than to an increase in the number of persons deported. ORIGINDuring the third and final presidential debate on 19 October 2016, Republican nominee Donald Trump remarked that President Barack Obama “has moved millions of people out … millions of people have been moved out of this country.” As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented persons had been deported by immigration authorities since President Obama took office in 2009, a total which was statistically record-setting. During the two terms of Obama’s predecessor, President George W. Bush, just over 2 million people were deported. However, that statistic is somewhat misleading, as a significant portion of it was due to a change in the way “deportations” are defined that began during the Bush administration, not in the actual number of persons turned out of the U. S. As the Los Angeles Times noted, if not for that change in definition about what constitutes a “deportation,” the Obama administration likely would not have been a record-setting one in this area: The number of people deported at or near the [U. S.-Mexico] border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s deportation statistics. The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now."

The failed measure also included a provision to implement a \"\"mandatory minimum prison sentence for some immigrants who tried to return here after being deported\"\": Senate Republicans' bid to toughen immigration laws ended almost as quickly as it began Tuesday, as Democrats swiftly blocked a measure that would crack down on cities that decline to cooperate with federal immigration officials. [...] The legislation from Vitter would cut off key federal law enforcement grants to localities that are deemed sanctuary cities, which are localities that decline to cooperate with immigration officials because of constitutional concerns. Vitter's legislation would also implement a five-year mandatory minimum prison sentence for some immigrants who tried to return here after being deported, such as immigrants with an aggravated felony on their record or those who had already been convicted twice of illegally re-entering the country. [ Politico, 10/20/15]Washington Post: Tuesday's Defeat \"\"Might Not Mean The End For The Legislation In The Current Congress .\"\" According to The Washington Post 's Mike De Bonis, Republicans could revive their efforts to defund sanctuary cities by \"\"attach [ing] the provisions of Vitter's bill to must-pass legislation: Tuesday's vote might not mean the end for the legislation in the current Congress -- especially with another year's worth of presidential campaigning ahead."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Immigration detention in the United States began in 1890s at Ellis Island. The administration of President Ronald Reagan further reacted to the mass migration of asylum seekers who arrived in boats from Haiti by establishing a program to interdict (i.e., stop and search certain vessels suspected of transporting undocumented Haitians). [ 1] As the number of undocumented immigrants who were fleeing economic and political conditions increased, President Bush Sr's administration attempted to find a regional location to handle the influx of refugees and migrants. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees arranged for several countries in the region— Belize, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela —to temporarily provide a safe haven for Haitians however the Coast Guard was becoming increasingly overcrowded from holding hundreds of refugees and by November 18, 1991, the United States forcibly returned 538 Haitians to Haiti. [ 2] Since the options for safe havens in third countries in the region proved inadequate for the sheer numbers of Haitians fleeing their country, the Coast Guard took them to the U. S. naval base in Guantanamo, Cuba, where they were pre-screened for asylum in the United States. Mandatory detention was then officially authorized by President Bill Clinton in 1996 with the enactment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility acts. From 1996 to 1998, the number of immigrants in detention increased from 8,500 to 16,000 [3] and by 2008 this number increased to more than 30,000. [ 4] [5] According to the Global Detention Project, the United States possesses the largest immigration detention system in the world. [ 6] In 2003, the U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) was created under the Department of Homeland Security. ICE enforces the United States’ immigration and customs laws, uses investigative techniques to apprehend and detain those suspected of violating them, and then deports many of these individuals."

"text": "“There is no Exclusion Act in the Dominion of Canada”: Deportation from Canada during the Great Depressionby Steve Schwinghamer, Historian“The doors which once were opened wide are now but slightly ajar. The countries that boasted of their liberal attitudes toward new settlers – particularly the countries of the Western Hemisphere – are much more strict in their requirements today in permitting a foreigner to enter their boundaries for permanent settlement.” – Harold Fields, The American Journal of International Law, 1932. [ 1]Context In the 1930s, Canadians experienced a profound economic recession complicated by drought and the collapse of trade: the Great Depression. Since many immigrants came to Canada as farmers or labourers, they were particularly vulnerable during the economic downturn. Further, Canadian public debate at the time often included a strong element of nativism, as expressed by Rev. W. B. Williston of Cochrane, Ontario:“The public rightly ask, that you remove from this place, the Russian and other European people, who have only been in this country for a short time, and particularly the men of this class who are sending all their earnings back to Europe, should not be allowed to have the work on the Power and R. R. construction, while hundreds of Canadians are standing in the bread line.” [ 2]Sentiments like Rev. Williston’s were widespread in Canada during the early 1930s, when about one-quarter of the Canadian labour force was unemployed. [ 3] This created tremendous pressure on governments to respond to the dire labour conditions with exclusionary immigration policies. Immigration Policy In 1930-31, the Canadian government responded to the Great Depression by applying severe restrictions to entry. New rules limited immigration to British and American subjects or agriculturalists with money, certain classes of workers, and immediate family of Canadian residents."

"text": "Understanding Trump’s Executive Order Affecting Deportations and “Sanctuary” Cities Last revised FEBRUARY 24, 2017Notes and citations available in the PDF version On January 25, 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order (EO) titled “ Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States .” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has since issued an implementation memo and a “ Q&A ” that elaborate on how the executive order is to be implemented. The EO and its accompanying implementation documents have dramatically changed how immigration laws are enforced in the interior of the United States. The executive order calls for major changes to interior enforcement Among other things, the EOcalls for tripling the number of officers available for immigration enforcement,drastically expands who the government considers a priority for deportation,makes it easier to deport immigrants without due process, andthreatens to take away critical federal funding from jurisdictions that have sought to build trust with their immigrant residents. The EO jeopardizes due process and other constitutional protections that all people have regardless of their immigration status. The EO also encourages the use of racial profiling by U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local law enforcement officials. In other words, this EO has serious negative implications for the well-being and safety of all communities, immigrant and nonimmigrant alike. Orders that the number of ICE officers be tripled The EO directs the DHS secretary to hire 10,000 new ICE officers, to the degree that the law and appropriation of funds by Congress makes this possible. Hiring 10,000 new officers would triple ICE’s current force of about 5,000 officers. It is not uncommon for ICE agents to violate people’s civil rights, lie to them or otherwise try to deceive them, and engage in other misconduct when doing immigration enforcement work."

"text": "\"Aggravated Felonies and Deportation A primary purpose of U. S. immigration laws is to control the number and type of non-citizens who can be in the country. Among other things, these laws outline conduct that can disqualify non-citizens from getting permission to enter or remain in the U. S. A key mechanism for enforcing the law against non-citizens already in the country is through their deportation. Under the law, one way such actions are justified is when the individual involved has been found to have committed various crimes. This report focuses on what are called \"\"aggravated felonies\"\" -- a single part of these laws. The subject of aggravated felonies is important because it is little understood outside a small community of immigration lawyers, judges and scholars, and yet affects the lives of tens of thousand of non-citizens who have entered the country legally. In addition, partly because of their complexity, aggravated felony matters have been the subject of much federal court litigation. The Big Picture Congress creates immigration law and policy through statutes. The primary immigration laws are contained in a statute known as the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Much of the enforcement of immigration laws is handled by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), work that the Immigration and Naturalization Service used to perform until passage of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which took effect in 2003. The Department of Justice administers the adjudication of the immigration laws, through a special group of immigration judges."

The vast majority of Americans support smart solutions to immigration reform and reject mass deportation. Immigration became an increasingly polarized issue over the last few years. Now, loud voices on all sides shout each other down and crowd out any discussion of real solutions. Smears of “amnesty” have tarred numerous politicians, and the idea of dealing sensibly with the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States appears to be anathema for many on the right. The recent Republican presidential debates only confirm how much immigration is a hot-button issue. But how do ordinary Americans feel about immigration? Five recent polls, run by organizations from across the political spectrum—from Fox News to Latino Decisions—unequivocally illustrate that the vast majority of Americans support smart solutions to immigration reform and reject mass deportation. They support a pathway to citizenship for people who are part of our communities, learn English, pay back taxes, and so forth, and they reject tearing these families apart."

He followed that up in an interview on Thursday morning with CNBC in which he defended his stance and argued it won’t hurt the economy. “ We certainly don’t want to shrink our economy,” he said. “ I’m not a shrinker of economies, I’m a grower of economies. ”But a new report from a conservative think tank makes just the opposite claim, warning what the cost to the economy would be if Trump were to follow through. The American Action Forum finds that rounding up and deporting all undocumented immigrants could shrink the economy by 2 percent in one year, according to research it will release Thursday. This year, the economy is projected to produce $18.7 trillion in goods and services."

Kate Kilpatrick / Al Jazeera America Into the arms of the cartels: Deported Mexicans sent to city ruled by fear Border crossers increasingly returned to dangerous cities where they’re easy prey for ruthless criminal organizations October 16, 2014 5:00AM ETby Kate Kilpatrick NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico — As the sun goes down, an unmarked white bus with tinted windows backs up to an iron gate on a small back street that stops short at the Juárez-Lincoln International Bridge, which connects Laredo, Texas, to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The gate is opened just enough to allow the men who step off the bus to slip through one by one as they’re escorted across the line on the bridge that marks the boundary between the U. S. and Mexico. This little road offers a snapshot of the hazy world of U. S. immigration policy along the Southwestern border, where zero-tolerance deterrence programs like Operation Streamline, which prosecutes border crossers with punitive criminal rather than civil charges, and the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP), in which immigrants are repatriated to border cities up to 100 miles or more from where they crossed, create disparate and seemingly arbitrary penalties for immigrants who enter the country illegally. Both programs fall under the Consequence Delivery System of U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The explicit goal of ATEP is to disrupt immigrants’ connections to specific smuggling networks by transferring them to a different border sector and presumably unfamiliar terrain. But according to a 2013 Border Security report from the Congressional Research Service, “lateral repatriation appears to do little to discourage people from re-entering the United States. ”Instead of deterring future migration, advocates say, ATEP increasingly places desperate and penniless deportees into the hands of ruthless criminal organizations eager to prey on them.

The President is eager to pass a compromise immigration bill in his first term that would stop short of granting a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, but would allow undocumented immigrants who aren't serious or violent criminals to live, work and pay taxes in the US without fear of deportation, a senior administration official said. Trump included the idea of a compromise in his address to a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday night. \"\" I believe that real and positive immigration reform is possible, as long as we focus on the following goals: to improve jobs and wages for Americans, to strengthen our nation's security and to restore respect for our laws,\"\" Trump told lawmakers. \"\" If we are guided by the well-being of American citizens then I believe Republicans and Democrats can work together to achieve an outcome that has eluded our country for decades. \"\" But Trump also signaled he stands behind some of his most controversial pledges from the campaign cycle, including the \"\"extreme vetting\"\" behind his travel ban that was blocked by the courts, and a call to cut back on low-skilled workers entering the country with a \"\"merit-based\"\" immigration system. A path to citizenship for those in the country illegally would not be part of Trump's vision for this deal, with the possible exception of \"\"Dreamers\"\" -- those brought into the US illegally as children. News of the President's support for a comprehensive reform of the US's immigration system fell against a backdrop of increasingly aggressive actions by immigration authorities across the US, who under Trump's administration have found new freedom to deport undocumented immigrants who have not been convicted of a serious crime -- the bar they were told to abide by under President Barack Obama's tenure. But Trump's new apparent desire to grant legal status to many undocumented immigrants living in the US also marks a startling reversal from the positions he championed during his campaign for president."

"text": "LATINO VOICES 03/03/2012 11:52 am ET Updated Mar 09, 2012How Many People Have Really Been Deported Under Obama? By Gabriel Lerner Many Latinos are critical of President Barack Obama’s occasional championing of undocumented immigrant deportation, believing that Obama has broken his campaign promise to pass immigration reform in his first year in office. And this perception may hinder the president’s plans to receive — as he did in 2008 — two-thirds of the Hispanic vote, a critical component of his reelection prospects. But numbers from a new report may mean that the Obama administration is paying closer attention to this perception, and immigration reform advocates’ arguments against such deportations and their separation of families. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a data-gathering, research and distribution organization at Syracuse University, reported last week that the number of deportation legal proceedings initiated between October and December 2011 fell by 33 percent from the previous quarter. The document was widely circulated, and one Republican lawmaker expressed outrage at the decline. “Last quarter’s data confirms what we knew all along: President Obama is recklessly determined to grant backdoor amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants,” Texas Rep. Lamar Smith said in a statement. However, the report’s numbers were hotly contested by government officials. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Gillian Christensen told The Huffington Post, “ICE is disappointed and concerned about the recent TRAC report which, similar to other reports recently released by the organization, is inaccurate and makes conclusions about ICE’s enforcement efforts based on incomplete data. ”“As of Feb. 6 we had this fiscal year 121,000 people removed,” Christensen added."

As they filed into Mexico City International Airport recently, government employees handed them free ham-and-cheese sandwiches, Mexican ID cards and information directing them to social services in the capital. “Welcome back!” a cheerful government worker called out, taking down names and phone numbers.

Their arrival — along with a surge of undocumented immigrants leaving the United States voluntarily — promises to transform Mexican society in the same way their departure did. José Armando López García sits in the small Mexico City home he shares with his 92-year-old mother. López was deported last year after being caught using a fake driver’s licence."

Because its functions are so numerous and varied, the government operates on several different levels--national, state, and local. At each of these levels the government makes certain demands on its citizens. But this is only to promote the general welfare of the society as a whole. For example, the government requires its citizens to pay taxes. But in return it provides them with valuable services, such as free public education and police-patrolled streets. The government guarantees its citizens certain rights, such as the freedom to practice their chosen religion. But it restricts them from engaging in other activities, such as driving over the speed limit or paying an employee less than the minimum wage. The government also protects its citizens from foreign threats."

"text": "\"Essay About Three Branches of Government Date: Dec 15, 2017In theory, the three branches of government serve to maintain the system of checks and balance, to prevent one branch from having more power, or too much power, than the others. This is to uphold Democracy and to prevent dictatorships and authoritarian government practices, to keep the country free, Capitalistic and Democratically fair to the people. The three branches making up the United States government are the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches, as seen in the President, the Supreme Court, and Congress. To understand why things are done this way, it’s important to know a little about each branch, what it does and why it is important. This further assures the American citizen that they live in a country run, in theory, by the whole population who select people to represent them, their needs and their challenges. The President of the United States of America is not the only one running the show. For their time, for at least four years, they are essentially heading the Executive branch of the United States government. Though they are the commander-in-chief of the American military, the President does not have unlimited power to rule the country. The President is intentionally limited in power so as to prevent a regime, where a leader has complete control over every single government entity. The Vice President supports the president in various affairs as part of the Executive branch and becomes a liaison with the Senate."

This system is called Checks and Balances and it is very important to our government. Without a system to prevent one branch of government from having more power over another, the government would be controlled by one group of people. It would not be fair to the people of the United States if one branch had more power over another. This system is intended to prevent tyranny. The three branched of government are; the legislative e branch, the executive branch, and the judicial branch.

Why do we have gridlock? ( 1) a completely unified government does not exist because Senators and the President of the same party do not always see things the same way (people within a party disagree on policy because they have different ideals), (2) because of the Constitution, the president and Congress are rivals for power and rivals in policy making (separation of powers and checks and balances), (3) people like the idea of someone being able to block a policy they don't like (so people will not want to change the constitution or vote differently), and (4) there is no compromise because of polarizing values Why does the difference between representative and direct democracy explain gridlock?

The Constitutional powers of Congress are to make laws by passing bills, declare war, raise an army and a navy, coin money, regulate commerce, establish federal courts and their jurisdiction, make rules of immigration and naturalization, if necessary impeach the president or other officials, and approve appointments. While those are still the functions, some aspects have changed. For example, changing a court jurisdiction is mainly used today to send a message, and approving the appointments is more of an assertion of power of Congress over the other branches. Also, now with law making, there are many committees and subcommittees that review the bills and an elaborate structure has been formed.2) What contributes to the incumbency advantage and what are the consequences for the US political process? The factors that add up to the incumbency advantage: Incumbent already is a household name Incumbent can use government money to finance reelection campaign Incumbent already knows who their supporters/volunteers are People know what incumbent has done; if they did an okay job, why risk swiching...?

Ferguson Copyright © (2006) by ABC-CLIO, Inc. Reproduced with permission of ABC-CLIO, LLC. Modern governors can be true leaders in their states and the nation. The challenge to incumbents is to employ the many resources available to them in the proper combination in pursuit of the many responsibilities their office entails today. Early governors suffered from the historical American aversion to executive power. Though some individual governors did manage to exert power by virtue of their personal strength, charisma, or, in a few cases, corruption, the office itself typically granted the occupant few tools. Due to Americans’ resentment of the overwhelming power of colonial governors appointed by the king, early state constitutions (much like the national one) created an executive of limited power. A delegate to the North Carolina Constitutional Convention approvingly described how much power had been given that state’s governor as “just enough power to sign the receipt for his salary” (Lipson 1939,14). Governors in other states did not fare much better. Over time, states began to sense a need for change. Since 1985, all of the states have made statutory changes (acts of the legislatures) and/or constitutional changes to grant their governors more formal powers."

From 1803 to 1819, Oklahoma was part of several territorial districts as the United States reorganized its land holdings due to boundary disputes and treaties. By 1819, Oklahoma, minus the panhandle, was part of the Arkansas Territory. In the early 1800's, there was intense pressure to remove Indians from the settled east. In response, the U. S. Government reserved Oklahoma for Native Americans and, in 1828, required all settlers to withdrawn from the area. Between 1830 and 1842, a sad chapter of U.

Part 2: The Problem of the Administrative State Part 3: The Alternative—Constitutional Government Part 4: What Can Be Done? Conclusion Abstract: The administrative state is an assault on constitutional principles—government by consent, the separation of powers, and the rights of individuals—that liberals and conservatives hold dear. The key to reform is that it be grounded in a proper understanding of these principles, not in the hope of immediate short-term gain or narrow self-interest. If we begin from constitutional principles and can communicate those principles and their relevance to the public in a clear manner, the reforms envisioned in this report are not too far from our grasp. It is high time that Americans work together to forge an alternative to the administrative state so that we preserve our constitutional principles for future generations. Over the past 100 years, our government has been transformed from a limited, constitutional, federal republic to a centralized administrative state that for the most part exists outside the structure of the Constitution and wields nearly unlimited power. This administrative state has been constructed as a result of a massive expansion of the national government’s power. When the Founders created our Constitution, they entrusted only limited powers to the national government and specifically enumerated those powers in the Constitution itself. A government that only had to carry out a limited number of functions could do so through the institutions and procedures established by the Constitution."

It simply means that while working on the requirements for a bachelor's degree, the student has also completed the necessary prerequisites for admission to a medical or osteopathic college. These usually include courses in English or written communications, and in the advanced calculus or statistics necessary to understand medical research studies. Other essentials include basic physics, chemistry and biology, as well as more-advanced courses in organic chemistry, microbiology or biochemistry."

Those interested in becoming a medical aesthetician are usually already working as a dermatologist, esthetician or skin care specialist, and they want to advance their career by becoming certified in other skin care advancements and technologies. Consider Medical Esthetician School Medical esthetic school is the best place to start if you’re considering medical esthetician training. With a medical aesthetician program, estheticians can perform cosmetic laser treatments like: Laser hair removal Laser tattoo removal Laser wrinkle reduction Laser skin rejuvenation And much more!In order to legally perform cosmetic injectables, however, you must be a medical professional and have acquired certification from a medical esthetician school. Medical professionals can also perform cosmetic laser treatments with the proper training from medical esthetic school. Although medical professionals learn how to operate and use needles in medical school, it’s a whole different ball game when it comes to performing cosmetic injectable treatments like Botox, dermal fillers and Kybella. Medical professionals must be educated on: How Botox works in tandem with facial muscles The history of Botox Safety issues Pre- and post-treatment care And more. Alongside this, both estheticians and medical professionals need to know how to operate cosmetic laser equipment and its safety functions. This ensures the safety of the client as well as gives them the most ideal results for their skin type and skin concerns."

This includes everything from psoriasis to skin cancers, and from hair transplants to sexually transmitted diseases. Dermatologists earn a substantial income, but becoming one takes 12 years or longer and requires earning two degrees. The Pre-Medical Degree Like other future physicians, aspiring dermatologists begin their careers with a bachelor's degree with a major designed specifically to meet the prerequisites of medical and osteopathic colleges. These typically include advanced mathematics such as calculus or statistics, general and organic chemistry, biology and written communications. Colleges with highly competitive programs might have additional prerequisites ranging from a designated grade point average to specific electives, so it's always prudent to verify the qualifications required for each school. Graduates from pre-medical programs must write an examination called the Medical College Admission Test, to demonstrate their grasp of the necessary subject matter. The Doctorate The undergraduate pre-medical degree is only a prologue. The majority of a dermatologist's medical training comes in a four-year doctoral program in a medical or osteopathic college. The curriculum in these programs includes advanced course work in organic chemistry, genetics and biology, most notably human anatomy and physiology."

Medical school programs last four years and the first few years are spent taking courses in the science behind the practice of medicine. Students take courses in anatomy and physiology, genetics, cell biology, pathology, immunology, and pharmacology. They also learn about how to examine, interview, diagnose, and build relationships with patients. Students in medical school also spend large amounts of time in clinical clerkships, or rotations. In a clerkship, students observe and treat patients under the supervision of experienced physicians.

The most common requirements are to have some experience in a medical practice or laboratory and a doctor that is willing to hire you or train you. There are training programs for prospect Mohs technicians, however, these programs are not certifications. For example, in Southern California every November there is a 5-day seminar where dermatologists and technicians are trained in many areas of Mohs Surgery.

The truth is that Botox cost varies due to several factors, including the city where you live and the skill and qualifications of your doctor. The average cost of Botox injections in the United States is around $400 for one round of treatments. However, the cost of Botox depends on where you reside. For example, Botox prices in New York or Boston are some of the nation’s highest. Miami and Dallas Botox doctors can also be expensive. Botox injections can cost anywhere from $150 to $400 per treatment area. Furthermore, treatments must be done again every three to four months. In the case of Botox, you get what you pay for, which means avoid discount Botox administered by poorly-trained doctors. Botox can be injected by dermatologists and facial plastic surgeons."

It gradually begins to slim after a couple of weeks, with the full effect visible after three months. Results of the injection into the masseter muscle can last up to one year. Because the masseter muscle has fewer nerve endings than the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, the injection of onabotulinum toxin A lasts significantly longer in the masseter muscle.

"text": "Botox Cosmetic Introduction What is Botox? BOTOX is a protein serum used by physicians to treat and prevent wrinkles on the face caused by underlying muscle contraction. It is one of the best non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation available today and is capable of producing dramatic results in a short amount of time. It’s been the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world with over 4.6 million procedures performed in 2015 alone. What are the benefits of Botox? In order to avoid discomfort and to allow greater precision of delivery, the physician uses a tiny needle to administer Botox to the specified facial area. Most patients remark that discomfort is minimal and lasts only briefly. Botox generally takes 2-4 days to take effect. A few benefits of this procedure are: Effective for treatment of: Forehead lines Vertical lines between the brows Lines forming at the corners of eyes Can assist in treatment of lines around mouth Easy to tolerate with minimal pain and no downtime Safe and effective Performed by all of our expert injectors at Utah Facial Plastics The Utah Facial Plastics Difference As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Thompson has extensive experience with Botox and has been treating patients almost daily for over 10 years.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the average surgeon's fee for an autologous fat injection is $1,395. For calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse/Radiance), it is $911; for hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Hylaform), it is $527; and for a collagen injection costs ranges from $398 to $488. Related articles: Botox Treatments, Liposuction What should be included: The doctor will meet with the patient, discuss the desired results, then prescribe the most appropriate soft-tissue filler. Arte Fill, which is made of bovine collagen, can treat sunken cheeks and smile lines; Restylane, derived from sugar, can smooth wrinkles and shape lips; and Radiesse, made from a material found in bones and teeth, can correct skin creases around the nose. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons [ 1] offers an overview of how different types of fillers are used. Additional costs: The results of injections with soft tissue fillers do not last forever. Depending on which type of filler is used, the results will last anywhere from four months to a year for Restylane and Juvederm to one or two years for Radiesse. To maintain results, more injections would be needed. Discounts: Some doctors periodically run specials or offer coupons for $100 or more off an injectable filler treatment."

Good Botox depends on the skill and technique of the Botox injector, so do your research and find a doctor who specializes in facial anatomy and has been successfully administering Botox (with few patient complaints) for several years already. Ideally, get more than one Botox consultation. Be transparent with your doctor - For your safety, tell your doctor as much about your medical history as possible so he/she can determine whether you are a good candidate to receive cosmetic Botox. Tell your doctor: What medication, supplements, herbs, etc. you are taking What allergies you have If you have any medical conditions, illnesses, or diseases If you have or will have any medical procedures (i.e. recent Botox, surgery, other treatments, etc. )"

Some skin care centers advertise low prices for Botox on a \"\"cost per area\"\" basis, advertising prices of $200-$300 for one area. The doctor we spoke to recommends getting price quotes on a \"\"cost per unit\"\" basis, because some places might be quoting lower prices but giving you smaller treatments, which may be less effective and require more frequent visits. Typical costs: Typically, treatments run $300-$1,200 depending on how much you need and who administers it. Treatments may be every 3 months. A nurse administering Botox in a mall on average costs $9-$12 per unit, or $200-$300 per area (with 20-30 units), which can run $200-$600 for a typical treatment.

Its initial uses were for lazy eye ( strabismus ), blepharospasm (inability to move the eyelids in certain ways), and wry neck (cervical dystonia). In 2002, it was approved for improving and relaxing frown lines in the area (the glabella) between the eyes on the forehead and has been used successfully in more than over 11 million patients since that time, based on estimates from data supplied by the Allergan Corporation. In 2004, Botox was approved for excess sweating ( hyperhidrosis ), and in 2010, Botox was approved for the treatment of migraine headaches. A common misconception is that Botox actually paralyzes the muscles in the face. Although, this can happen with extreme amounts of Botox, most physicians strive to inject just the amount that allows the patient to have some limited activity but not so much that they have overactivity of the areas. Patients should know that Botox is not used to keep them from expressing themselves but simply to keep them from making facial grimaces and frowns that have become habits and are unintended. When done correctly, most people who are not trained cosmetic surgeons will not notice that a Botox procedure has been performed but simply that the patient looks more rested or happier. Botox Injection Preparation Botox comes as a crystalline substance from the manufacturer, which then has to be reconstituted with saline or another liquid. Practitioners add varying amounts of liquid when reconstituting it."

Botox is actually the trade name for a substance injected into the skin which is known to inhibit muscle movement - and that can prevent wrinkles from developing or worsening. Alamy Botox injections are now one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world The name ‘Botox’ actually comes from the word ‘botulous’ – which means sausage. Not so glamorous sounding now, eh? It is called this because the substance is related to a naturally occurring poison – which can occasionally be found at dangerous levels in bad meat products. Scarily, high levels of this poison have the ability to paralyse – and even kill. However, while it has been described as “the most poisonous substance known”, it all comes down to purity and dose when used safely for cosmetic purposes."

"text": "\"Botox as Incontinence Therapy By Jamie Santa Cruz A minimal Botox procedure can provide dramatic results for older adults who experience urinary incontinence. For the large percentage of older Americans who struggle with urinary incontinence, a growing body of research suggests that Botox is a therapy worthy of serious consideration.1-5Close to one-half (44%) of Americans over the age of 65 who live at home struggle with urinary incontinence, and the figures are substantially higher for older adults who are institutionalized: Fully 75% of long-term nursing home residents lack complete bladder control. Both genders are susceptible, though the condition disproportionately affects women.6A study presented at the American Urological Association annual meeting in June 2015, however, found that Botox is a highly effective treatment, with approximately 80% of patients reporting being \"\"improved\"\" or \"\"greatly improved\"\" following treatment.5 According to Victor Nitti, MD, a professor of urology and obstetrics/gynecology at New York University Langone Medical Center and one of the researchers involved in the study, the success rate in the study is similar to that reported previously in other studies and in clinical practice. \"\" The improvement [seen with Botox] is often much more dramatic than the types of improvement seen with medication,\"\" Nitti says. \"\" That's not to say that you can't have somebody who starts on an oral medication and has a phenomenal response,\"\" but the likelihood is lower, he says. Botox treatments for urinary incontinence are delivered by injection directly into the bladder, usually by a urologist but sometimes by a urogynecologist (in the case of female patients). As a naturally occurring neurotoxin, Botox works by blocking the binding of acetylcholine to the neurotransmitters between nerves going to the bladder and the bladder muscle itself. The bladder then loses the ability to contract, helping to prevent the unwanted bladder contractions that are associated with incontinence. Each injection remains effective for a period of approximately six months, after which the treatment must be repeated. Nitti's recent study, which was the first to examine efficacy and safety over the long term, found that the injections continue to be effective even over a period of years, and no new safety issues arise with repeated injections."

"text": "Homepage > Dental Implant Costs & FAQs Email this Page Print this Page How Much Do Dental Implants Cost? No two patients or their customized dental implant treatments are exactly alike, so if you use an experienced, qualified dental implant dentist the number of appointments, procedures and cost will vary up or down accordingly. After an initial examination and assessment, your dental implant expert should provide you with a treatment plan including the estimated number of appointments and cost, and then notify you if there are any changes during the process. Happily, a dental-implant restored tooth usually lasts longer but costs no more than other treatments to restore a tooth if you use a dental implant dentist who has the proper education and training. For example, dental implants are usually less expensive than a bridge long term because a bridge over natural teeth typically has to be replaced more often. Other options such as traditional bridges and dentures can fall short of dental implants in overall patient satisfaction. Imagine having your teeth slip or click as you talk, laugh or eat. You don't have to worry about that with dental implants. And dental implants truly give you the most natural, beautiful smile. It's estimated that the cost for a single tooth implant is $3,000 to $4,500, according to The New York Times."

Contents1 Dental implant cost : what is the average cost of dental implants?2 The 6 Factors that influence Dental Implants Cost2.1 The 1st factor: dental implant material quality2.2 The 2nd factor: the kind of teeth to be replaced2.3 The 3rd factor: your dentist or dental surgeon expertise, experience, popularity2.4 The 4th factor: Your dentist location2.5 The 5th factor: Additional professionals involved2.6 The 6th factor: What most people forget… leading to bad surprises3 Insurance coverage of Dental Implants: check the 4 fine print limits.4 Dental Implants prices by country Dental implant cost : what is the average cost of dental implants? Please note the prices indicated from our research may differ from those of your chosen dental specialist based on many factors ( usually regarding the upper range…. ), however, you will have a pretty good idea of the necessary budget for dental implants. Single tooth implant cost In order to understand the cost of implants below, you need to remember each implant is composed of 3 elements: the implant, the abutment and the crown. ( check here our 101 guide on implants if necessary)Dental implant = implant + abutment + crown3 parts for a dental implant So, any price you get is usually the total amount of those 3 parts. A single dental implant will cost you anywhere between $ 1 500 up to $ 6 700 ! Of course, the dental implants cost per tooth depends on many factors such as the nature of the missing tooth: front tooth implant cost is usually higher than the cost of a back tooth implant because front teeth are often trickier to restore due to the small space involved , and because the abutment ( what connect the implant to the crown) for these front teeth is usually more expensive than the standard sized and angled abutments from the implant company."

How we replace missing teeth with dental implants in Brisbane A dental implant is an extremely strong titanium post, which is threaded into your jawbone in a minimally invasive surgical procedure which is as straightforward as a tooth extraction. We then leave this biocompatible material buried in your bone, leaving it undisturbed under the gum tissue for between two and six months. Then, once your bone has grown around and bonded to your new dental implant (called ‘osseointegration’), we gently uncover it and connect it to a small metal post which will secure and support an artificial tooth, such as a custom-made crown from our in-house CEREC laboratory at Wickham Terrace Dental in the Brisbane CBD. Thanks to the way they securely bond with your natural bone, dental implants are the sturdiest replacement modern dentistry can provide for your missing tooth root."

Basic to Mid-Range: $600-$3,000 for a set Premium Dentures: $4,000-$8,000+ for a set E-mail Post Tweet Comments (59)Crafted of resin, porcelain, acrylic and/or metal, dentures are removable plates used when most or all of the teeth are missing. Conventional dentures are held in place by suction and possibly dental adhesive, while implant dentures are supported by dental implants but are still removable. Typical costs: If dentures are medically necessary, insurance might pay 15%-50% of the costs (up to the plan's annual limit, if there is one). A basic denture starts at about $300-$500 per plate, or $600-$1,000 for a full set of upper and lower teeth. These typically have limited warranties, don't last as long as more expensive models, tend to look artificial and may be adapted from a standard size instead of a customized fit. A mid-range denture typically costs $500-$1,500 per plate or $1,000-$3,000 for a set. These offer a fairly personalized fit and usually come with a 1- or 2-year warranty. Premium dentures can cost $2,000-$4,000 per plate, or $4,000-$8,000 or more for a set. Dentures in this price range are a personalized fit, use high-end materials to simulate the look of gums and teeth as closely as possible, last a long time and are warranted against chipping and cracking for 5-10 years or longer."

"text": "Posted on 16 Jun 2015 / / CCOFSThe Cost Of Dental Implants Whether you’ve recently had a tooth extraction or have been missing teeth for many years, you may be a candidate to receive dental implants. An implant is a titanium structure that is attached to the jaw bone to provide support for an artificial tooth. They are an alternative to dentures, which can be removed from the mouth. Dental implant costs and benefits must be assessed and compared to other options before a final decision is made. How Much Will it Cost to Receive Implants? Dental implant costs can range greatly depending on the situation. However, you can expect to pay from $1,800 and up to $4,500 for each implanted tooth, with the average cost being around $3,000 in the United States. There can be many additional costs associated with the placement though and it is highly recommended to come in for a consultation to determine the total cost of placing an implant. The additional costs can include x-rays, surgical guides, bone graft materials, anesthesia, post-surgical care, etc. There is also an associated with the crown placement which will be done by your general dentist."

Dec 23, 2013 by Patricia 7 Comments Posted under: Health & Beauty What’s on this page: Cost Summary The Procedure Costs With/Without Insurance Dental Implant Crown Costs Gold Crown Costs Cost Summary of Dental Crowns The prices for dental crowns range from $500 to $2,500 per crown and are dependent upon the materials used, location of tooth and geographic location. The average cost of a crown is $825, with or without dental insurance coverage. The cheapest cost of a dental crown is $500 for a simple metal crown. Dental crowns are specifically shaped shells that fit over damaged or broken teeth for either cosmetic or structural purposes. Crowns come in various forms, from basic gold crowns to all porcelain. Regardless of the reason, crowns can extend the life of natural teeth and improve both one’s smile and quality of life. Dental crowns, or caps as they used to be called, not only provide cosmetic benefits in the case of yellowed or chipped teeth, but they also can be used to improve bite function of the mouth and decrease the effects of TMJ (temporal mandibular joint syndrome). Given that every mouth is unique, each crown must be custom made to match the color and bite pattern of the surround teeth. The Procedure Generally, it takes two office visits to create and place a crown."

It can be extremely embarrassing to smile and bare gaps and missing teeth rather than a pearly row of straight white teeth. All these factors gave birth to the dental implant procedures. Dental implants are the need in the patient to replace and restore their missing teeth with something as close to natural teeth as possible.

"text": "Gate Checking Your Stroller when Flying with Baby By Corinne on 13:54 in Baby Travel Gear, Flying With Baby, Getting Around Tweet The walks are long. You need a stroller!Whether you’ve bit the bullet and bought a Maclaren, are schlepping along your trusty jogging stroller, or toting your fancy new Baby Jogger, if you’re bringing your stroller when you’re flying with baby, you’ll need to gate check it. This seemed really complicated to me before I actually did it, but honestly – it’s nothing. Depending on your airline, of course, your stroller simply needs to fold. * SEE BELOW FOR DIFFERENT AIRLINE GATE CHECKING STROLLER POLICIES*When you check in with your luggage, you tell the counter person that you want to gate check your stroller, and they’ll either give you a tag to affix, or put it on your stroller themselves. If your stroller needs to be folded in two pieces (I’m looking at you, Bugaboo) they’ll give you two tags – one for each part. I don’t necessarily believe you need to purchase a lighter stroller specifically for travel, some airlines (like American Airlines, for example) have re-jigged their gate-checking policies so that only light ones may be gate checked. With our jogging stroller, I was concerned we’d have to deflate the tires. We didn’t, but I had a small pump and a patch kit in our carry-on anyway, just in case we got a flat on our trip. In most cases the stroller was waiting for us as we deplaned, but in smaller Caribbean destinations like Cuba, we retrieved it at the baggage claim."

If the person wanting a horse weighs 260 lbs, how much should their horse weigh to be able to carry them safely and comfortable for both the horse and rider. Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The general rule is that a horse can carry up to 20% of his bodyweight. A fit and well-built horse could carry 25% of his bodyweight. Some tests in endurance horses have concluded that they can easily carry 30%. Here is a neat article called The Heavier Rider's Guide, and it takes into consideration a person's weight, the tack weight, the horse's cannon bones, overall condition of horse, etc. You might find some valuable information at this website. http://www.gaitedhorses.net/Articles/HRi... My advice would be to look for a horse that is in good condition, at least 1200 lbs, and over 15 hands tall. Check the horse's pasterns before you buy...if they are long and the hoof is set out in front of the leg, this horse has weak suspensory ligaments and can go lame, especially by being ridden.

Yet when women develop conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure or too much weight or are affected by cancer or other diseases, becoming or staying physically active may seem impossible. Medical challenges can produce pain, limit flexibility, weaken muscles, cause fatigue and make bones brittle or joints ache—regardless of age. It's not surprising that, for years, women who suffered an illness or chronic condition were advised not to exercise. Even today, with more acceptance of the idea of exercising despite physical limitations, many women assume that they can't be active. If that describes you, or someone you know, take heart: Exercise adapted to your condition can help you move more easily, become stronger and even decrease pain. \"\" The key is to choose the type of exercise that best fits the need,\"\" says Marian A. Minor, PT, Ph D, a researcher on arthritis and exercise and chair of the department of physical therapy at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO. What's important is to get moving, because lack of physical activity can lead to worsening disability and problems related to being sedentary, such as heart disease. Moving safely With the help of your doctor or a physical therapist trained in adaptive exercise, you can choose the types of exercise best suited to your condition and current strength level.

Mobiles, holiday decorations, streamers and other hanging things need space to turn and should be admired from all directions. The method for hanging something from the ceiling varies according to how heavy the item is. Very Light Objects Hanging decorations that weigh virtually nothing doesn't require special consideration. If you're draping streamers, suspending paper snowflakes or dangling dried flowers, you can tie them to a string or wire and attach the other end to the ceiling with tape. Alternatively, you can tie the loose end of the string or wire around a thumbtack and push the tack into the ceiling, or simply fasten ribbons or streamers directly to the ceiling with the tack. Neither tape nor tacks leave much of a mark, so you can take the items down later without any damage. Objects Under Five Pounds If the decoration weighs too much to use tape or a tack, but weighs under five pounds, you can use an adhesive hook to hang it from the ceiling. These hooks come in various sizes, and many of them have special release tabs that allow you to remove the hook without damaging paint. Adhesive hooks won't work on textured or popcorn ceilings, but on flat ceilings, they save you the trouble and the permanence of drilling."

At it's most basic, it's a calculation of the relationship between your height and weight. The higher your Body Mass Index the more overweight you are. Many doctors and healthcare professionals use BMI as a guide when they are assessing the general health of patients. However, the method, which has been in use since the 1840's, has some weaknesses. The first problem is that it doesn't give a real estimate for the percentage of body fat. Another problem is that men and women can have the same percentage of fat but different BMI readings. Finally, carrying a lot of muscle can give an inaccurate BMI reading. In an article published in Medical News Today, it was reported that Nick Trefethen, a member of Oxford University's Mathematical Institute, has come up with an alternative and better formula for BMI."

What is hard to figure out is Turcite (PFE) is suppose to be self lubricating and people can't understand how it could happen. Also many have to much surface area as PFE is designed to work better with less area. But this is another subject for another thread. But if you now have a CNC machine with box ways and you get a shuttering as you start the move or a jerking...move the machine .001 and you don't move, move .001\"\" and it jumps .002. You have loosened the gibs, replaced the ball screws and that didn't help, been told by the distributor it's a control issue, and still have this issue, keep reading. The machine has box ways and has Turcite B on it. He said he has had little luck getting help from the factory. I knew what the issue was as I saw the same problem when I taught at new machine builders in Taiwan."

MLS Player Salaries0By Mike on August 21, 2013 Soccer FAQs Major League Soccer players in the United States get paid more than the majority of soccer players in the world, but are by no means the top earning players in the world of soccer. The league minimum wage for 2013 is $35,125. The AVERAGE MLS player salary is about $135,000 a year, with 249 players in the league making over $100k. That’s a huge step forward from just 10 years ago when many MLS player salaries were not enough to pay the bills, forcing them to get jobs outside of soccer to supplement their income. The highest paid MLS player is Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls . Henry is one of the top 100 greatest players in the world, and is one of the greatest French players in history.

"text": "How Much Do Soccer Referees Make? May 6, 2016 by admin Soccer referees have a difficult and thankless job, and they know that they are doing it well when both sides are upset with them. There are parts of the world where soccer is followed with an almost religious fervor, and fans comfortable in their armchairs may wonder why anyone would voluntarily expose themselves to such ridicule and verbal abuse. They may also wonder how referees are able to put up with the theatrical or underhanded antics of some players. Successful referees share a love for the beautiful game, and many of them are former players. While soccer referees are usually compensated fairly, money alone rarely provides enough motivation for them to face the vitriol of thousands of fanatical supporters. Referees in some parts of the world have even received death threats or returned home after a match to find their houses burned to the ground. A tough job Official in many sports have a far easier time than soccer referees. Sports leagues such as the NFL employ large teams of umpires, linesmen and referees to officiate games backed up by video replay personnel, but soccer referees are usually on their own. Two linesmen and an assistant may provide help in some situations, but referees generally make most of their major calls without consulting them."

"text": "Sports Hockey How much does a minor league hockey player make? Update: im asking how much does a MINOR league hockey player make.... NOT an NHL player1 following 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Players on AHL contracts earn on average about $55,000 a season. According to a few fans, the pay for the SPHL is around $25,000 a year. According to another fan, the average ECHL player in 1999 made roughly $412.00 a week. That amounts to about $21,424.00 a year. Here is a link to a break-down of the salary structure for minor leagues during the 98-99 season: http://www.hockeyzoneplus.com/$minor_e.h... Source (s):http://torontozinas.com/#AR5http://www.oursportscentral.com/boards/s...http://www.hockeyfights.com/forums/showt... Ginnna · 1 decade ago4 0 Comment Typically for an AHL level player they make between $25,000 and $40,000 per year (although some free agent younger players can be paid less). Some of the higher draft picks and the occasional foreign player make more but that is paid by the NHL club that owns them. There are a few out there that make up to around 125,000, these tend to be snipers that arent quality NHL material and are older (i.e. one dimensional players that either cant skate well,cant play defense,etc.). Sometimes teams will sign an older defenceman to these higher dollar contracts so they can teach positioning to the younger D. These players would be the ones that are owned by the minor league club usually, although some NHL clubs will sign them to a 2-way deal (one amount if they get called up, a lesser amount if they play with the minor league club). They sign these guys to help develop offensive skill players they want to bring along as scorers."

According to a CNN report, many star soccer players earn millions each year; however, the average salary of professional soccer players is less than what Major League Baseball players and American football players in the National Football League earn. Pro soccer players are paid by club teams and franchises in associations such as Europe’s La Liga and Major League Soccer in the United States. European Teams Many of the world’s top soccer stars play for European teams, such as the Manchester United and Real Madrid. These teams play other European teams in organizations such as the Premier League and La Liga and compete for championships. The teams often pay top players between $5 million and $20 million annually. Younger players and less skilled players receive less than elite stars and veterans. The world’s most successful club team, Real Madrid, paid its top star, Cristiano Ronaldo, more than $20 million in 2012, according to Forbes.com.

Gwendolyn Oxenham, a former pro, hones in on the “unequal fortunes” of Brazilian superstars Neymar, a man who makes $15 million a year, and Marta, a woman struggling to even find a team without it folding soon after.

This will only make matters worse, and will not solve the underlying problem of compensating players that are considered \"\"student athletes.\"\" That is because the question is erroneously phrased as \"\"how do we take the money out of college sports?\"\" But as countless examples demonstrate, it's impossible for the NCAA to police all of the many schools and their players. Compounding this is that often these scandals revolve around boosters paying players; these boosters are not employed by the universities, so the schools have little to no control over them. What they do is not illegal, so the boosters do not get punished, only the players. Instead, I propose separating the athlete from the student. This would only apply to Division I schools, and I'll use football as an example. I will use The University of Texas' Longhorns as an example. The way it works is you take every aspect of the football program--not just the coaches, staff, and players, but also the facilities--and make them a separate entity."

Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Well, Football player's salaries vary drastically, depending on the league, the position played and whether the team is semi-professional or professional. In the MLS, most players average $100,000 or more in salary, but that does not include any sponsors or endorsements. In Europe, there are several levels of professional soccer, but the most popular leagues or televised professional teams, like Manchester United, have much higher pay scales. In fact, the top 50 players in 2008--2009 made more than 4.5 million pounds or nearly $7 million dollars a season. Their weekly salaries averaged between $128,000 and $256,000 (U. S. dollars) Semi-professional players can still expect to make between $20,000 and $100,000 a year in the United States, and depending on the team and the league, European semi-professionals will earn between $80,000 and $300,000. Players can get sponsorships, endorsements and an additional salary to wear their sponsor's merchandise or promote them through commercials or advertisements."

"text": "Visualizing MLS Salaries Compared to Other U. S. Leagues / January 28, 2015by Drew Olsen By Drew Olsen ( @drewjolsen)With the MLS season rapidly approaching and players talking tougher about their demands for the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), it helps to give some context for where MLS players stand compared to other leagues. Data is hard to come by for foreign leagues because they don't disclose much about salaries, but the other major American sports leagues are more forthcoming. By looking at the other major US leagues, we can examine how MLS wages match up against their fellow pro athletes. There are many caveats to this comparison. To start, an increase in the minimum salary doesn’t even seem to be the MLS players’ major priority; that would be free agency . Second, MLS is famously secretive, and does not release the exact terms of any player contracts. We get these numbers from the Major League Soccer Players Union (MLSPU), which publicizes the cost against the salary cap of each MLS player a few times a season. Often, that number does not necessarily match the player's actual salary, as teams often use allocation money and other magic to limit their cap hit (a good example is David Villa, who made much more than the $60,000 he was listed at most recently). Indeed, league officials can be counted on to claim the inaccuracy of these salary releases each time they are published. But until they provide proof, claiming foul while also refusing to release the the “real” numbers reminds me of when I ask my baby cousin how he knows unicorns live in his backyard."

Before we get into the specifics it’s best to explain what Kybella is so you can make an informed decision if you’re choosing between the two options. What is Kybella? Like Cool Sculpting, Kybella is an FDA approved treatment to reduce and eliminate fat. The big difference is Kybella is meant only for fat in the chin area. The Kybella procedure involves injecting a synthetic drug known as deoxycholic acid directly into the under-chin area so if you’re afraid of needles be forewarned. The drug then destroys the fat cells resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Again like coolsculpting, the number of treatments needed varies but we found it interesting that the information about Kybella states that up to six treatments may be needed. Our research regarding for treating a double chin concludes that on average 1 to 3 treatments are the average."

Our patients get preferred pricing because of our status as a Coolsculpting Certified Practice and one of the busiest Cool Sculpting Centers in California. Patients come from Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, Santa Maria, and Los Angeles for our Cool Sculpting expertise and preferred pricing. Cool Sculpting is sold in packages, with progressive discounts provided for purchasing multiple “sculpts”. Each area treated by a narrow applicator is considered a “sculpt”. The use of the broad abdominal applicator is considered two “sculpts”, even though it treats up to three times as much fat as the narrow applicator. The choice of applicator used is dictated by the size and shape of the fat bulge to be treated. Usually the abdomen is treated with the large applicator, but in some protocols the smaller applicator may be preferred. Treatment of the back, the love handles, and the medial thighs are usually done with the small applicator. Because there are two sides to the body, treatment of these areas requires two sculpts… one for each side."

Table of Contents [ hide]1 How Does Coolsculpting Work?2 Benefits3 Side Effects4 Areas To Be Treated5 Coolsculpting Cost6 Cool Sculpting Reviews7 Before and After Photos8 Our Advice9 Your Opinion? How Does Coolsculpting Work? The main principle of Cool Sculpting is the targeting of fat cells exclusively and the elimination of them in a totally non-intrusive manner. The procedure itself is performed without any form of anaesthesia (general or topical); during it, the doctor uses the Cool Sculpting applicator (in essence, a cooling suction device) which demolishes the adipose (fat) tissue with cooling it just above the freezing point. By doing so, the lipolysis activity is set-off and fat cells are crystallized, a procedure which damages fat cells once and for all. Actually the fat cells are finally digested by the body! Optimum results are noticed 2-4 weeks after treatment! During the procedure, the patient is experiencing an almost pleasant sensation which numbs the treated area, while each treatment lasts for approximately 60 minutes and at least a couple of them is needed to deliver a 20-25 percent fat reduction on the treated area.

"text": "\"Zeltiq Cool Sculpting4.8 / 5 ( 1 Reviews)Medical device company Zeltiq™ is the name behind the one-of-a-kind body contouring procedure, Cool Sculpting™. FDA approved for fat reduction in 2010, Zeltiq's Cool Sculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive body sculpting treatment that uses \"\"cryolipolysis\"\" to eliminate small excess fat deposits on the waist, hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen. Cryolipolysis is an innovative new method of fat reduction involving \"\"fat-freezing\"\". During a Cool Sculpting procedure, unwanted fat areas are pressed inbetween two cooling plates for 1-3 hours. During this time, fat cell lipids literally freeze to death, causing fat cells to harmlessly break down and become reabsorbed by the body. It's recommended that most Zeltiq patients undergo two or more Cool Sculpting treatments to achieve the best results. Per treatment session, Cool Sculpting can cost anywhere from $600-$900. Product claims state that on average, Cool Sculpting patients can experience a 20% reduction of their body fat layer post treatments. Cool Sculpting is currently the only FDA approved body contouring method to use cryolipolysis. Other popular non-surgical body sculpting treatments rely mainly on thermal laser energy ( Zerona ), tissue stimulation ( Vela Shape) or injectable solutions ( Lipo Dissolve, Mesotherapy ) to break down unwanted body fat."

When you are deciding on which body sculpting or fat removal procedure is right for you need to know the cost of the procedure and how many treatments you would need. Prices around the country vary and the prices below are an average. You also will want to be clear about what constitutes an area--for instance \"\"thighs\"\" is not an area--inner thighs, outer thighs, love handles, abdomen, flanks in general are each an area. For liposuction, inner thighs would include both legs. Coolsculpting is different as each inner thigh requires a 60 minute treatment cycle, and the practice pays for each cycle performed. Prices vary quite a bit for liposuction, depending on your geographic location, the physician doing the procedure, the number of areas treated, and whether your surgeon will utilize general anesthesia. Sometimes the surgical facility fee is included, sometimes it is not. For both liposuction and Coolsculpting discounts are often given for doing multiple areas at the same time.

"text": "Lifestyle How Much Does It Cost To Build A Tennis Court?by Vishal Sanjay4 years ago10.8k Views23SHARESShare Tweet Building a tennis court is a pretty high investment for most people, as there are numerous materials to purchase and a great number of aspects and factors to take into account. Depending on your wishes or expectations, the total cost of a tennis court might be higher or lower and you have to consider your decision very wisely before making a choice. The surface, the quality of the tennis court, the fence, the necessary materials – all of these aspects are very relevant for your needs and you will have to consider them carefully in order to ensure a functional and well-designed tennis court. Surface The surface is the prime factor you should take into consideration when wondering about how much does it cost to build a tennis court. Of course, the higher the surface you will use, the greater the price of the tennis court will be. In most cases, you will pay between $20.000 and $40.000, with an average price of $30.000. You can easily obtain a lower price if you already own a property, so your expenditures will be lower than $30.000. Surprisingly, the cost of a tennis court is lower than opening a coffee shop (See our previous article – How Much Does It Cost To Open A Coffee Shop ), so your investment can be actually very valuable in this regard. The Quality Of The Tennis Court When building a tennis court, you have to consider its quality as one of the most important details, because it will help you decide further regarding the other materials and the fence. You can opt for top or second-hand materials in order to build the tennis court and this is exactly the detail that will tell you how much you will spend."

To improve the look of an aging bedroom, many homeowners choose a fresh coat of paint. But how much does it typically cost to paint a bedroom? Costs for DIY Painting a Bedroom In 2014, Angie’s List members reported paying an average of $448 per room for interior painting. Expect a full set of materials, including paint, brushes, sandpaper and tape, to cost $100 to $200. If you choose to tackle a painting project yourself, there are several items you'll need to purchase before you begin. The first cost is the paint. Expect to pay between $15 and $30 per gallon of paint, and you'll need 2-3 gallons for an average-sized bedroom (with some left over for contingencies and touch-ups). Keep it in mind that the more durable the paint is, the more you'll pay for the paint material."

After more than 25 years in the residential painting business, you start to notice some trends. Some things burst onto the scene and quickly fade away — carpeted walls, anyone? — while other trends have more staying power as more people catch on to them. These trends go for not only architectural features, but interior color palettes as well. Homeowners often ask us what we think about certain things such as what would make a good accent wall, what types of paint would be best in certain environments and — most frequently — we get asked about what paint colors are the most popular. So we started taking notice and keeping a list of the colors we use most often when painting homes. Here are the five interior paint colors on the Benjamin Moore paint color palette that we use most frequently: White Dove (Courtesy of Benjamin Moore & Co.)1.

"text": "\"Home & Garden Decorating & Remodeling How long does it take for interior latex wall paint to dry? I need to put furniture against the walls.? I am repainting my bedroom, but I need to know how long I will need to wait, after two coatings, before I can put my bed against the wall and bookcase, dresser, and desk. I don't wanna end up with paint on my furniture or rubbing it off with my blanket or body, since I sleep against the wall. Update: I live in NJ. Currently, there's 46% humidity.1 following 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: I don't know where you live, and that's important. I live in TX where the humidity is high. If it were in TX and you were applying latex to a wall, I'd say you'd be okay in 48 hours. Latex to trim, though, I'd give it closer to a week, esp if you used 2 coats. In a dryer place I imagine you could cut that time in half."

"text": "How much does it cost to paint a room? Fresh painting can tremendously alter or enhance the mood and appearance of a room. It is the easiest and quickest way to give your home an upgrade and does not require a lot of time, money or effort. Some homeowners choose to take the DIY approach while others prefer hiring a qualified expert. Though picking up the brush yourself may seem like the easier option, there are certain advantages to hiring a professional painter to paint your room. For one, professional painters have years of experience that enable them to provide quality, picture-perfect results every time. They have access to the right tools and techniques and can do the job quickly and more efficiently than the average homeowner. They can also take care of the prep work such as cleaning or repairing cracks or damages in the wall surface. An average-sized 12’x12’ bedroom will cost around $400-$800 to paint. Cost factors The total cost of painting a room will depend on your location, the size of the room, the painter’s experience, the complexity of the project, and time required for completion."

"text": "How to Hang Pictures in a Bedroom The focal point of every bedroom is the bed and what’s hanging above it, so it’s important to pick your artwork carefully. You can create a grouping, or choose to feature one special piece as we show in these examples: What should I hang above my bed? Hang things you love and bring you a sense of calm and serenity. Try abstract paintings, prints of nature or landscapes, black and white images or even nude art, for your eyes only. Size It Right…To create balance, your artwork (or grouping) should be at least 2/3 the length of the headboard. The shape doesn’t matter, it could be square, vertical, horizontal, round or oval as long as it’s the right size to counterbalance the headboard. How High / How Low? As a general rule, the bottom of your frame should hang 8” to 10” above the headboard. If you hang your artwork any higher it will look like it’s floating away from the headboard instead of being connected to it. Tip: To make centering your artwork easier, mark both the center of your headboard and the middle of the bottom of the frame with a small piece of painter’s tape."

"text": "Daily water consumption varies quite a bit. Season of the year, workload, reproductive status, diet, and climate factor into the volume of water needed by a particular horse on a specific day. As a starting point, the average horse drinks between 5 and 10 gallons (19 and 38 liters) of water each day. The horse may need slightly less if it is grazing lush pasture because fresh grass contains a high percentage of liquid. He may also have less desire to drink if the water offered is extremely cold or contaminated with dirt, feces, or other material. Horses in this situation may drink less than they should because the water is not appealing. These horses run a risk of dehydration even though, at first glance, water seems to be available. Lactation, strenuous or prolonged exercise, hot weather, heavy sweating for any reason, and a diet consisting mainly of dry hay will greatly increase the amount of water the horse needs each day. Inadequate water intake can lead to impaction colic, so having a constant supply of clean, fresh water is important in keeping horses healthy. Follow these tips to ensure horses always have access to water: Place one or more water sources in each stall and paddock."

"text": "\"Water Temperature and Drinking Behavior A few years ago I read an article describing research done at New Bolton Center on drinking behavior. It said that the research showed that in winter, horses prefer to drink warm water rather than ice cold water, and as a result veterinarians recommend giving horses warm water during the winter to be sure that they drink enough. So, that winter we hung buckets of water along the fence every morning and evening at feeding time. It seemed our horses drank very little warm water from the buckets. Instead, they kept going to the stream even when it was partially frozen over. On days that the stream was completely frozen, they would drink from the buckets. We thought they might not like something about the hanging buckets, which were quite a distance from their hay racks. So, the next year we put a heated plastic stock tank in the pasture near the hay racks. We put in a large heating element so the water stayed warm to the touch. Again, once we started heating the water in the tank, our horses seemed to drink mostly from the stream, as if they really preferred the ice cold stream water to the warmed water in the tank."

Electrolytes are ionized salts - that means they have a charge and separate out in water. The electrolytes that are most important to your horse are sodium (Na), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-). Calcium (Ca+) and magnesium (Mg+) are also electrolytes that may affect your horse's well-being. Electrolytes become important when your horse sweats. Horse sweat contains more Na+, Cl-, and K+ than human sweat. Horses can sweat gallons just standing around in hot, humid weather. They really sweat when worked hard, such as at a competitive trail ride or cross country event. Even regular work can trigger quite a [no-glossary]bit [/no-glossary] of sweat with corresponding electrolyte loss."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Animal Life Mammals Land Mammals Horses Care of Horses Horse Diet and Nutrition How much does a horse eat per day? Flag How much does a horse eat per day? Answer by Karin L. Confidence votes 95.0KThere's more to raising cattle than throwing them out to pasture. Know your soil and plants to earn profit above ground and wealth below. The amount to feed a horse depends on its body weight, work load, age, reproductive stage especially with mares (pregnancy and lactation) and what type of feed you are wanting to feed your horse. Moisture content of the feed also has an affect of how much a horse will eat or should be fed per day. As a general rule, however, a typical horse should eat at least 2% to 2.5% of its body weight in dry matter ration per day. The actual amount depends on the water content of the feed in question. Typically, the higher the moisture content, the more they'll eat. Roughages like grass and hay should be a feedstuff that is always given to them or they have to work to graze for."

"text": "How much water does a horse need? Horses July 18, 2006Water is a necessary nutrient, although it receives limited discussion. The water should be clean and fresh. An average size horse not in production will drink 10-12 gallons of water per day. In hot, humid weather, this amount could easily double. In fact, nursing mares often drink 20-25 gallons of water daily. It is just as important for horses to have adequate water intake in the winter. Horses can withstand severe winter weather conditions if they have adequate forage and plenty of water to metabolize that forage. Horses will not get enough water from snow or a frozen pond.

Horse loves himalayan salt lick Oct. 21, 2012, 08:03 AMI bought an OTTB gelding back in August. Everything with this horse has been going great but I am concerned over 1 issue, he goes through a 2lb Himalayan salt lick about every 2 weeks (on a rope in his stall). He is turned out all day (8-7) on grass. He is on beet pulp and blue seal sentinel LS and fed a mix of 1st and 2nd cutting hay. He is in good weight, nice coat, feet are good. Does he just really like the salt? Should I take it out of his stall every other day? Can too much salt be harmful? I haven't seen any negative changes in him, but compared to my other horse who goes through her salt lick in about 8 months I am starting to worry."

"text": "Fly Repellents are one of the 10 Solutions to Horse Flies. Biting and blood sucking insects rely mainly on smell to find their prey (such as horses and us). Although other senses (e.g. sight) may be used to varying extents (depending on the type of insect), they rely mainly on smell. The various types of repellents (chemical, organic or natural) work by releasing strong scent molecules, which confuse the insect by mixing in with and masking the smell of the horse, so they are unable to home in on the smell of the horse. Trying to find their victims through these added smells is like us trying to see a distant object through fog. The term 'repellent', although commonly used, is misleading as these products do not repell the insects so much as confuse their sense of smell. Although the flies may eventually leave, it is not because they were driven away by the smell, but rather they simply moved on as they could not find they way to their prey due to the additional smells produced by the 'repellent'. This article includes the following topics:1.0 Natural Repellents2.0 Home-made Repellents2.1 Cautions about Home-made Repellents2.2 Home-made Repellent - Garlic Recipe2.3 Home-made Repellent - Cider Vinegar2.4 Home-made Repellent - Essential Oil Recipe3.0 Chemical Repellents As repellents work by producing smells which mask or overwhelm that natural smell of the horse, repellents made from natural ingredients need to have a strong smell in order to work. For this reason, they are made from plants which have a strong natural smell, such as:garlic, lavender, cedar, rosemary, eucalyptus, cinnamon or tea tree. Most natural repellents are sprayed onto the horse."

Fresh clean water 24/7 should always be available. The buckets scrubbed each day and the field water tank cleaned every few days. I leave an 8 gallon bucket in my hose's stable. If he has a \"\"horslyx\"\" left in or he uses his salt lick, then he will drink half of this. In the field, when the water is at the top of the tank, I notice that he drinks quite a lot.

Too often in the past, I’ve seen horses that don’t drink much water have bouts with colic and mild digestive upset. No matter what you do with your horses, it’s important to make sure they have regular and constant access to fresh clean water—especially those that are finicky, like my horse Dually. Necessity of Water No matter what you do with your horses, water must be a first priority. When I led out big pack trips through the Rocky Mountains, we had to make sure to take trails that bordered streams and that the horses were allowed to drink each time we crossed a stream. The experienced and wise trail horse drinks at every opportunity because he doesn’t know when the next opportunity will come. When we take our horses on the road, I make sure they have water breaks if they are in the trailer more than a few hours; and we carry water from home, just to make sure it is familiar and tempting. When horses are at home in the pasture, I make sure that everyone knows what gates should stay open so that horses can get to the water tanks. Horses need regular access to water."

Speedi-Beet is 95% sugar-free and soaks in 10 minutes or less, an advantage for barn management, yielding 3-5 times more product than beet pulp shreds and more economical. Beet pulp is the byproduct from the manufacturing of sugar for human use, namely the ‘leftovers’. Speedi-Beet is more palatable and once soaked has a mash consistency. Sugar beet pulp may be molassed containing up to 20% sugar. Speedi-Beet is manufactured from unmolassed beet pulp, with typical levels of 5% NSC. Problems may occur if too much sugar (or starch) is fermented in the hindgut. Speedi-Beet is one of the most healthiest, natural and simple ways to feed your horse. Regular beet pulp is usually prepared 12 to 24 hours in advance, making it susceptible to spoilage and attracting unwanted guests. Unmolassed beet pulp may still contain up to 12% sugar that can be detrimental to horses with Cushings, insulin resistance or horses prone to founder."

"text": "Feeding Horses: Horses have small stomachs and short intestines, therefore, they cannot handle large amounts of grain at one time. Horses should be fed frequently, but in small amounts (3+ times daily). Horses cannot vomit. This means that whatever a horse eats - whether it be oats, molasses, moldy hay, or rusty nails - it must go all the way through his digestive system. This inability to vomit is the most common reason colic is a big problem with horses. Grain: A regularly worked horse might receive five to ten pounds of grain per day. More feed should obviously be given to a horse who has worked harder or to a larger horse, and less feed to a smaller horse or one who has worked less. This varies with each horse and also varies depending on the quality of the grain. Hay: Generally speaking, give 1 pound of hay per 100 pounds of body weight. So, a 1,000 pound horse would have a minimum of 10 pounds of hay."

A metaphoric idiom that dates from the 12 century and was in the proverb collection of John Heywood in the year 1546 states: \"\"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.\"\" The idiom can be interpreted to mean you can provide someone an opportunity to do something, but you cannot force them to actually do it; or people, like horses, will only do what they have a mind to do.

"text": "Sweating & Electrolyte Losses Published in Horses and People Magazine Exercising horses in Su mmer time By Mariette van den Berg, BApp Sc. ( Hons), MSc (Equine nutrition)During exercise, heat is produced as a by-product of skeletal muscle contractions. To prevent overheating and maintain core body temperature, horses have to lose this generated heat. One of the most important means to get rid of this heat load is by evaporation of sweat. When horses sweat, large quantities of water and electrolytes are lost. These fluid and electrolyte losses have to be replaced to maintain normal body function. Excessive sweating can cause an electrolyte deficiency which may lead to muscle fatigue, muscle cramp, reduced stamina and poor post exercise recovery, if not balanced. In summer time, warmer environmental conditions can place more stress on the exercising horse as the heat production by the muscles can become greater than the heat loss. The following article will discuss temperature regulation during exercise, water and electrolyte losses in horses during exercise, strategies that can be used to replace fluids and electrolytes and how to prevent heat stress. Water requirement Water intake is determined by the amount of body water lost through faeces, urine, respiratory gases, sweat and milk (lactating mares)."

Poppy Ellard Spoon University July 11, 2016facebook twitter pinterest The results of a survey , conducted by the National Coffee Association, showed that about 54% of Americans over the age of 18 drink coffee. Clearly, most of us love coffee — but exactly how much caffeine are we actually consuming when we indulge in our favorite coffee beverage? To figure this out, I found the average amount of caffeine per espresso shot, which, according to Kicking Horse Coffee, is about 80mg of caffeine per double shot, meaning there’s about 40mg of caffeine per single shot of espresso. Kicking Horse Coffee also provides data on the caffeine content of drip coffee, estimating that a 12oz coffee has about 120mg of caffeine in it, so 1oz of drip coffee has approximately 10mg of caffeine. Plus, for the purpose of this article, I’m going to say that a small (8oz) and medium (12oz) size drink usually has two shots of espresso and a large (16oz) drink usually has three shots. So, you do the math and figure out how much caffeine you actually consume. Just kidding, I’ll do the math. Read on to figure out exactly what goes into, caffeine-wise, our coffee drinks.

"text": "Overview Sudden cardiac arrest is the sudden, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. Sudden cardiac arrest usually results from an electrical disturbance in your heart that disrupts its pumping action, stopping blood flow to the rest of your body. Sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart is blocked. However, a heart attack can sometimes trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is a medical emergency. If not treated immediately, it causes sudden cardiac death. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible. Administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), treating with a defibrillator — or even just compressions to the chest — can improve the chances of survival until emergency personnel arrive. Symptoms Sudden cardiac arrest symptoms are immediate and drastic and include: Sudden collapse No pulse No breathing Loss of consciousness Sometimes other signs and symptoms precede sudden cardiac arrest. These may include fatigue, fainting, blackouts, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, palpitations or vomiting."

The most common nonperfusing arrhythmias include the following: Ventricular fibrillation (VF)Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT)Pulseless electrical activity (PEA)Asystole Pulseless bradycardia CPR should be started before the rhythm is identified and should be continued while the defibrillator is being applied and charged."

This procedure is an essential component of basic life support (BLS), basic cardiac lifesupport (BCLS), and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). The preliminary steps of CPR, as defined by the American Heart Association, are (1) calling forhelp; (2) establishing unresponsiveness in the victim by tapping or gently shaking and shouting at him or her; (3) positioning the victim in a supine position on a hard surface; (4) giving twobreaths; and (5) checking the pulse. These are begun as quickly as possible; prompt action is essential for successful outcome. At the moment breathing and heart action stop, “clinical death”ensues. Within four to six minutes the cells of the brain, which are the most sensitive to lack of oxygen, begin to deteriorate. If breathing and circulation are not restored within this period of time, irreversible brain damage occurs and “biological death” takes place. Although CPR is strongly recommended as a life-saving measure, it is not without danger;specific risks include rib fracture, damage to the liver or heart, and puncture of lungs or largeblood vessels. All health care providers should receive instruction and practice in CPR under thedirection of a qualified instructor."

Learn when to call for help, how many breaths/compressions to give when doing one or two person CPR, what to do if the person vomits, and more. CPRThe following are basic instructions for adult, infant, and child CPR (according to the American Heart Association). This information can be beneficial but I highly recommend you learn how to do CPR from a certified instructor in a class near you. You will get hands-on experience, feel better prepared for a stressful situation, increase the person's chances of surviving, and help prevent complications. Click on images to enlarge. How to Do Adult CPR (9 years old and up)Check for responsiveness Gently tap the person's shoulder and shout \"\"Are you okay?\"\". Repeat several times.

"text": "Why Did the Steps for CPR Change from A-B-C to C-A-B? Posted by Stephanie Duehring - March 04, 2011Why Did the Steps of CPR change from A-B-C to C-A-B? Does the thought of putting your mouth on the mouth of a total stranger give you the heebie-jeebies? Even if you’re aware of CPR’s role in saving lives, you may think twice about performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation because of the fear of getting an infection. The good news is that in 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA) changed CPR’s longstanding A-B-C (Airway, Breathing, Compressions) sequence to C-A-B (Compressions, Airway, Breathing). The old A-B-C sequence for CPR consisted of the following steps: Airways - Tilt the victim’s head and lift his chin to open the airway Breathing - Pinch the victim’s nose and breathe into the mouth Compressions – Apply pressure to the victim’s chest The new C-A-B (Compressions, Airway, Breathing) sequence teaches rescuers to perform chest presses before anything else. But after four decades, why did the AHA implement such a drastic change? There is a lot of buzz surrounding the A-B-C to C-A-B update because it requires anyone who learned CPR previously to get re-educated, but the AHA thinks the pros outweigh the cons. The Science behind the Decision In an adult who has been breathing normally, there is enough oxygen in the blood to supply the heart and the brain for several minutes following cardiac arrest. Chest compressions are needed, however, to circulate the oxygen and ensure that it is distributed quickly."

"text": "First Aid: CPRCardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a lifesaving technique. It aims to keep blood and oxygen flowing through the body when a person’s heartbeat and breathing have stopped. It can be performed by any trained person. It involves external chest compressions and rescue breathing. CPR performed within the first six minutes of the heart stopping can keep someone alive until medical help arrives. Although rescue breathing techniques were used to revive drowning victims as early as the 18 th century, it wasn’t until 1960 that external cardiac massage was proven to be an effective revival technique. The American Heart Association then developed a formal CPR program. While there is no substitute for formal CPR training taught by certified instructors, the American Heart Association has recently recommended that persons who have not received CPR training initiate “hands only” CPR (without rescue breathing). This method is easy to perform, is proven to save lives, and is better than waiting until trained help arrives.

Once you determine the scene is safe and the victim is unconscious, you call 911 then check for breathing. Give 2 rescue breaths if needed. For an adult, you then begin CPR at the rate of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, and continue until someone with more training takes over, the victim recovers, the scene becomes unsafe, you become too exhausted to continue, or an AED becomes available.

"text": "American Heart Association CPR Guidelines: quick action, more teamwork key to saving more lives October 15, 2015 Categories: Program News EMBARGOED UNTIL 12:01 am CT/1:01 am ET, Thursday, Oct. 15, 2015DALLAS, Oct. 15, 2015 — People should continue to jump in quickly to give CPR, using breaths if they’ve been trained in CPR and employing mobile technology to speed up the rescue of cardiac arrest victims, according to the American Heart Association’s 2015Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). The latest American Heart Association guidelines, published today in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, highlight how quick action, proper training, use of technology and coordinated efforts can increase survival from cardiac arrest. A leading cause of death in the United States, cardiac arrest is caused when the heart suddenly stops, usually due to an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes an irregular heartbeat and disrupts blood flow through the body. Survival depends on immediate CPR and other actions starting with bystanders. More than 326,000 people experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital each year and about 90 percent of them die, often because bystanders don’t know how to start CPR or are afraid they’ll do something wrong. The 2015 guidelines say high-quality CPR training for both bystanders and healthcare providers will help them feel more confident to act and provide better CPR to cardiac arrest victims. This guidelines update, which is intended to evolve CPR training, also recommends that all bystanders should act quickly and use mobile phones to alert dispatchers, with the ultimate goal of having immediate CPR given to all victims of cardiac arrest. “Everyone has a role to play in the chain of survival – from bystanders to dispatchers, emergency responders to healthcare providers,” said Dr. Mark A. Creager, president of the American Heart Association and professor of medicine at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and director of the Heart and Vascular Center at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. “ When everyone knows their role, knows CPR and works together, we can dramatically improve cardiac arrest victims’ chances of survival. ”The AHA guidelines, which are based off the latest resuscitation research, have been published since 1966 to provide science-based recommendations for treating cardiovascular emergencies – particularly cardiac arrest in adults, children, infants and newborns."

VALERY HACHE/AFP/Getty Images A new study has revealed the moon is 4.47 billion-years-old, after a team of planetary scientists discovered it was formed 95 million years after the birth of the solar system. This makes the Earth's moon up to 60 million years younger than some previous estimates, a study published on Wednesday found. Researchers used a new way to calculate the birthday of the planet's only natural satellite. Astronomer John Chambers, with the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, said the mega-asteroid that smashed into Earth, launching debris that later became the moon, occurred about 95 million years after the birth of the solar system. \"\" We think that the thing that hit Earth and ended up forming the moon, the lion's share of it stayed on Earth,\"\" he explained. \"\" A small fraction of its mass and some material from Earth was pushed off into space to form the moon. That was probably the last big event,\"\" he added. The study, published in the journal Nature, is based on 259 computer simulations of how the solar system evolved."

Conspiracies exist in every single avenue of life these days, with people from all over the world holding various views and opinions on things that “must” have happened. Conspiracies have, obviously, blown up since the internet and especially since the advent of things like blogging and social media. It gives people the chance to present the truth or various facts to the public in a manner they never would have been able to in the past. Additionally, though, it also gives people the chance to provide the rest of the world with a chance to hear the “real” story behind things we are told is fact. If you believe that everything we are told by the government and corporations is the truth, then it’s probably fair to see that is a little naïve. However, there are plenty of things that governments are only happy to disclose to us – but how often is what they actually tell us the truth? If they can lie to us about simple things over the years, what is realistically there to stop untruths being cast as truth? This is what makes conspiracy theories so good – the best ones really are hard to disprove. One of the most famous examples of a conspiracy theory really rising through the ranks and remaining as one of the most prominent of modern times, though, is the story behind Apollo 18."

SC. | SUNDAY, AUGUST 01, 1982Receding Moon It takes but one proof of a young age for the moon or the earth to completely refute the doctrine of evolution. Based upon reasonable postulates, great scope of observational data, and fundamental laws of physics there is proof that the moon and the earth are too young for the presumed evolution to have taken place. There is an easily understood physical proof that the moon is too young for the presumed evolutionary age. From the laws of physics one can show that the moon should be receding from the earth. From the same laws one can show that the moon would have never survived a nearness to the earth of less than 11,500 miles. That distance is known as the Roche limit. 1 The tidal forces of the earth on a satellite of the moon's dimensions would break up the satellite into something like the rings of Saturn. Hence the receding moon was never that close to the earth. The present speed of recession of the moon is known."

But i try to answer it for our knowledge. Well the moon is not just go down when the sun is up. The world is rotating itself, while the world is rotating around the sun. In the same time, the moon is rotating around the earth and the sun. When you are at any part of the earth expecially near to the equator, you will see some kind of nice organized pattern of when sun is out, the moon is gone, otherwise vise versa."

Those are fun!Phil Plait Phil Plait writes Slate ’s Bad Astronomy blog and is an astronomer, public speaker, science evangelizer, and author of Death From the Skies!I got one of those from Missy Kent (which I choose to pronounce Miss Secant for reasons which are tangential to this article), who asked, “How long would it take particles from the geysers on Enceladus to make Saturn’s E ring?”To give you the background, Enceladus is an icy moon of Saturn, orbiting it about 238,000 kilometers out. A few years ago, the Cassini spacecraft flew past it and discovered several geysers, literally jets of water ice, shooting out from near its south pole. Saturn’s gravity squeezes the moon, heating it up, melting the interior. That water is under a lot of pressure and finds its way up to the surface through cracks in the ice. The resulting geysers reach heights hundreds of kilometers from the surface … and in fact some of the geyser spray leaves the moon altogether. Saturn, of course, has magnificent rings. They’re composed of gazillions of tiny particles of ice, some of them microscopic, some a few meters across."

Edgerton Amos Lawrence Professor of Art History Williams College Williamstown, Massachusetts – 01267 USA Samuel. Y. [email protected] ABSTRACTThis essay argues that the advent of linear perspective, ca. 1425, when Filippo Brunelleschi painted a small panel of the Florentine Baptistery by applying the geometric rules of optical mirror reflection, was more than just an artistic event. Indeed, it subsequently had the most profound – and quite unanticipated – influence on the rise of modern science. Surely, by 1609, Galileo would not have understood what he saw when observing the moon through his newly invented optical telescope, then called the 'perspective tube,' had it not been for his training in perspective drawing. Yet, Brunelleschi's original dependence on the mirror two centuries earlier was intended not to reveal objective 'scientific' reality, but rather to reinforce Christian spiritual 'reality.' In 1435-6, Leon Battista Alberti, when codifying Brunelleschi's perspective in his famous \"\"Treatise on Painting,\"\" substituted a gridded window for Brunelleschi's mirror, thus redirecting the purpose of perspective art away from revealing God's divine order as reflected on earth, to a more secular physical reality viewed directly in relation to human moral order. Keywords: linear perspective; Renaissance art; modern science. RESUMOO presente ensaio defende que não foi somente um acontecimento artístico o advento da perspectiva linear (c. 1425), quando Filippo Brunelleschi ao pintar um pequeno painel no Batistério Florentino lançou mão das regras geométricas da reflexão em espelho ótico.

Credit: NASA/NOAA/GSFC/Suomi NPP/VIIRS/Norman Kuring Since the planet Earth doesn't have a birth certificate to record its formation, scientists have spent hundreds of years struggling to determine the age of the planet. By dating the rocks in the ever-changing crust, as well as neighbors such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years. How old are your rocks? Several attempts to scientifically date the planet have occurred over the past 400 years. Scientists attempted to predict the age based on changing sea levels, the time it took for Earth or the sun to cool to present temperatures, and the salinity of the ocean. As science progressed, these methods were proven to be unreliable; for instance, the rise and fall of the ocean was shown to be an ever-changing process rather than a gradually declining one. In an effort to calculate the age of the planet, scientists turned to the rocks that cover its surface. However, because plate tectonics constantly changes and revamps the crust, the first rocks have long since been recycled, melted down and reformed into new outcrops."

They are sometimes called Algonquian or Algonkian peoples, but they are not to be confused with the Algonquin tribe who lives in Canada.

Structure of Plasma Membrane Plasma Membrane Definition Back to Top Plasma membrane can be defined as a biological membrane or an outer membrane of a cell, which is composed of two layers of phospholipids and embedded with proteins. It is a thin semi permeable membrane layer, which surrounds the cytoplasm and other constituents of the cell. Function of Plasma Membrane Back to Top It separates the contents of the cell from its outside environment and it regulates what enters and exits the cell. Plasma membrane plays a vital role in protecting the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing only selected substances into the cell and keeping other substances out. It also serves as a base of attachment for the cytoskeleton in some organisms and the cell wall in others. Thus the cell membrane supports the cell and helps in maintaining the shape of the cell.

D. work on infectious diseases and immunology. When a sperm finds an egg, the complex process of fertilization has only just begun. In this lesson, you'll learn about the acrosome, a specialized vesicle in the head of the sperm, and the important roles it plays in fertilization. A Sperm's Journey Let's be honest: sperm have a tough job. First, they have to find an egg to fertilize. And even after swimming long distances through treacherous conditions, the vast majority of these tiny, short-lived cells don't find an egg. Those few sperm that do find an egg aren't finished; they still have to cross the egg's protective coat and fuse their own membrane with the plasma membrane of the egg, a process that requires an acrosome reaction (more on that in a minute). In almost all cases, only one sperm out of the millions released manages to do this. This lucky sperm's nucleus and genetic material enter the egg, and the development of a new organism begins."

"text": "Fertilization, union of a spermatozoal nucleus, of paternal origin, with an egg nucleus, of maternal origin, to form the primary nucleus of an embryo. In all organisms the essence of fertilization is, in fact, the fusion of the hereditary material of two different sex cells, or gametes, each of which carries half the number of chromosomes typical of the species. The most primitive form of fertilization, found in microorganisms and protozoans, consists of an exchange of genetic material between two cells.sperm A sperm cell attempting to penetrate an egg (ovum) to fertilize it.www.pdimages.com The first significant event in fertilization is the fusion of the membranes of the two gametes, resulting in the formation of a channel that allows the passage of material from one cell to the other. Fertilization in advanced plants is preceded by pollination, during which pollen is transferred to, and establishes contact with, the female gamete or macrospore. Fusion in advanced animals is usually followed by penetration of the egg by a single spermatozoon. The result of fertilization is a cell ( zygote) capable of undergoing cell division to form a new individual. The fusion of two gametes initiates several reactions in the egg. One of these causes a change in the egg membrane (s), so that the attachment of and penetration by more than one spermatozoon cannot occur. In species in which more than one spermatozoon normally enters an egg ( polyspermy), only one spermatozoal nucleus actually merges with the egg nucleus. The most important result of fertilization is egg activation, which allows the egg to undergo cell division."

"text": "Definition, Structure, Origin and Development of Golgi Bodies Article Shared by ADVERTISEMENTS: The Golgi apparatus or Golgi bodies of eukaryotic cells are organelles that play a variety of functions, including: (1) The packaging of secretory materials that are to be discharged from the cell, (2) The processing of proteins (e.g., glycosylation, phosphorylation, sulfation, and selective proteolysis) synthesized by ribosomes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum,ADVERTISEMENTS: (3) The synthesis of certain polysaccharides and glycolipids, (4) The sorting of proteins destined for various locations in the cell, (5) The proliferation of new membranous elements for the plasma membrane, and (6) The reprocessing of plasma membrane components that have reentered the cytosol during endocytosis. ADVERTISEMENTS: The Golgi apparatus was first described in 1898 by C. Golgi, a pioneer of cytology and cytochemistry (Fig. 18-1). Although Golgi referred to the structure as the “internal reticular apparatus” of the cell, the organelle was later renamed in his honor. Golgi received the Nobel Prize in 1906 for his many cytological findings and his cytochemical and histochemical innovations. For many decades after its original description, the Golgi apparatus remained a controversial cell structure because it was not readily identifiable in all cells. To visualize these organelles, Golgi employed stains containing silver, osmium, and other heavy metals, and it was believed by many other cytologists that the organelle was an artifact produced by precipitation of the metal within the cell. The controversy was not put to rest until the 1950s, when the existence of the Golgi apparatus was confirmed by electron-microscopic studies; these studies also shed light on the details of the apparatus’ organization (Fig. 18-2). Structure of the Golgi Apparatus: The contemporary model of the structure of the Golgi apparatus is based on some 25 years of transmission and scanning electron microscopic study as well as biochemical studies of isolated Golgi membranes."

This lesson is about how cellular products are shipped out of the cell using a process called exocytosis. What Is Exocytosis? Exocytosis is a process by which a cell transports secretory products through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Secretory products are packaged into transport vesicles (membrane-bound spheres). Let's look at some examples of cellular secretory products: Secreted protein - enzymes, peptide hormones, and antibodies Neurotransmitters from nerve cells Plasma membrane proteins Antigens - pieces of bacteria or other invaders which stimulate the immune response Exocytosis can be either calcium-dependent or calcium-independent. In calcium-dependent exocytosis, an influx of calcium into the cell will stimulate secretion."

"text": "Potassium plays a critical role in many systems of the human body. In this lesson, you will learn the causes and consequences of having too much potassium in your body. Functions of Potassium Potassium participates in many processes in the human body, including neurotransmission and muscle contraction. Its main role in these processes is in the establishment and maintenance of a negative resting membrane potential in the cell. It may seem odd, but every cell in the human body is electrically charged. Whenever there are a different number of charged particles on one side of the plasma membrane, or cell membrane, than the other, there is a voltage across the plasma membrane. In the case of potassium, there is a higher concentration of potassium ions (K+) in the cytoplasm compared to the outside the cell. This potassium gradient, along with gradients for sodium, chloride, calcium and proteins, creates a negative resting potential inside the cell of about -70 m V. This negative resting potential is critical for the propagation of signals down axons of nerve cells. It is also critical for depolarization of muscle cells during muscle contraction. If anyone ion, be it potassium, sodium, calcium, etc, is not within its normal range, the resting potential will be either too high or too low."

These include drugs such as heparin and coumarin. Drugs that dissolve pre-formed clot including streptokinase are not referred to as anticoagulants. Anticoagulants are usually administered to patients with myocardial infarction, venous thrombosis, peripheral arterial emboli and pulmonary emboli. They have been used to prevent transient ischemic attacks and to reduce the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction. Process of clotting The circulatory system has to be self-sealing, otherwise continued blood loss from even the smallest injury would be life threatening. Normally, all but the most catastrophic bleeding is rapidly stopped, a process known as hemostasis . This process occurs through a progression of several steps. Hemostasis is a combination of events that occur due to physical and chemical forces. The initial steps lead to a reduction in the blood flow due to the formation of a cellular plug."

Therefore, it is vital for the survival and function of the cell. This article explains what the lipid bilayer is and how its structure contributes to cell viability. Plasma Membrane and Lipid Bilayer Cells are outlined by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is responsible for protecting the interior of the cell and for selective permeability, which means it monitors what materials enter and exit the cell. The ability of the plasma membrane to determine which materials can move in and out of a cell is due to the molecules found in the membrane and the presence of a lipid bilayer. Let's discuss the properties of the lipid bilayer. Phospholipids Phospholipids are the primary molecules found in the plasma membrane. A phospholipid is unique in that it has a hydrophilic region called the head, and a hydrophobic region known as the tail. The hydrophilic region can interact with water due to the presence of a phosphate group which is polar, like water."

The taiga is the world's largest terrestrial biome. In North America it covers most of inland Canada and Alaska as well as parts of the extreme northern continental United States and is known as the Northwoods. In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Norway, lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific Ocean, and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan. However, the main tree species, the length of the growing season and summer temperatures vary. For example, the taiga of North America consists of mainly spruces; Scandinavian and Finnish taiga consists of a mix of spruce, pines and birch; Russian taiga has spruces, pines and larches depending on the region, the Eastern Siberian taiga being a vast larch forest. The term \"\"boreal forest\"\" is sometimes used to refer to the more southerly part of the biome, while the term taiga is often used to describe the more barren areas of the northernmost part of the taiga approaching the tree line and the tundra biome.

The taiga's cold, wet, forested environment covers much of Russia and Canada, as well as Scandinavia and southern Alaska. Because of the harsh climate of the region, the taiga's plants and animals have evolved many specific traits to survive. Winter Camouflage The environment of the taiga is strikingly different between the summer and winter months. In the summer, the taiga may be wet and boglike, while in the winter large quantities of snow cover the ground. Some mammals have evolved separate coats of fur so they can be camouflaged in both seasons. For instance, the ermine, a close relative of the weasel, is a small predator that eats rodents, birds and insects. In the summer, the ermine's fur is a reddish-brown that matches the dead plant matter of the forest floor. However, in winter the ermine's coat grows out entirely white, except for a black tuft on its tail. The ermine's white winter coat lets it blend in with the snow and stalk its prey unseen."

It’s located between 50° to 70° northern latitudes just below the Arctic Circle and above the temperate forest. It has temperatures below freezing throughout most of the year. The annual average precipitation ranges from 25-75 cm (10-30 inches). Taiga biome landscape is dominated principally by evergreen coniferous trees, although, broadleaf trees occurs in the southernmost region of the taiga. This type of biome is home to a number of animals which have adapted to the hard cold winter conditions. A continuous layer of permafrost limits the growth of shallow-rooted trees. Geography Taiga accounts for more than one third of the world´s forests, making it the world´s largest biome. Taiga occurs only in the Northern Hemisphere as in the Southern Hemisphere, at these latitudes, there are no continental lands.

"text": "Forests represent a third of the earth's land, and are found in the four corners of the globe. The major attribute of the forest biome is its trees. While they are different from animals in many ways, they share one common characteristic: they breathe. While humans and animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Deforestation represents a great threat to the future of the earth's atmosphere, and the only way this can be avoided is by careful management of this resource. Once a tree is cut down, another should take its place, but there is still too large a number of trees being cut down as opposed to the number of trees being planted. Boreal, or Taiga biomes The largest of the land biomes is the boreal, or Taiga biome. Taiga biomes can be found in areas with shorter, warm summers and long winters; there are Taiga Biomes in Europe, Asia, Siberia, and North-America. Because of the cold climates, plant life in the boreal forest is sturdy, consisting mainly of evergreens and other resilient vegetation.

It extends across North America, Asia, and Europe. Filled with coniferous forests, it usually has summers that are short and wet with winters that are fairly long and cold because of its northern location. Here are some important facts to know about the Taiga that you may not have known about this massive biome.1. Call a Firefighter Even though there is a moderate level of precipitation across the Taiga biome, wildfires are very common. These fires are part of the natural restorative process of the biome. The fires help the coniferous forests be able to get rid of the trees that are either sick, old, or already dead and creating clutter.2. There’s No Variety You won’t find many different kinds of plants in the Taiga. Almost all of the plants in this biome are conifer trees. This is often why many call the Taiga biome the world’s largest coniferous forest."

These young patients, who range from infancy to adolescence, experience problems with physical growth and sexual development, such as constitutional growth delay and intersex disorders, endocrine diseases like diabetes and hypoglycemia, and endocrine gland disorders concerning adrenal, thyroid and pituitary problems. Nurses in this field work closely with pediatricians and help treat patients by administering medications and providing routine medical care. They also conduct exams and tests in order to monitor patient progress or the appearance of new health problems. Typical duties can include taking blood pressure, inserting catheters, and drawing blood samples. Since one of the most common diseases in pediatric endocrinology is juvenile diabetes, nurses play an important role in educating children and their parents about the effects of diabetes, assisting them in diabetes management and helping them make healthy lifestyle choices. How Can I Become a Pediatric Endocrinology Nurse? Before you can work as a pediatric endocrinology nurse, you must earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing, or complete a nursing diploma program.

Pediatricians and family practice doctors are physicians who care for children and adolescents. A pediatrician's practice, however, is limited to those age groups, while a family practice doctor also cares for adults and seniors. In most other respects, the two professions are comparable in terms of length of education, knowledge, skills and duties. Family practice and pediatrics are among the top 20 specialties in high demand in the United States, according to Merritt Hawkins, a nationwide physician recruiting firm. In 2011, Merritt Hawkins had over 500 requests for family practice physicians and over 60 requests for pediatricians. Pediatricians Children and adolescents are the focus of a pediatrician's practice and much of the care a pediatrician provides is directed toward the prevention of childhood disease and disability. Pediatricians often see a newborn infant in the hospital and continue to care for that infant until the age of 18. Pediatrics is a specialty in its own right, but some pediatricians choose sub specialties within the field. Neonatologists care for premature and critically ill full-term infants in a hospital neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU."

There's a lot to learn. Fortunately, thanks to the Internet, it's fairly easy to get information. Here's a link that explains the process of becoming a physician: http://people.howstuffworks.com/becoming-a-doctor.htm Every state has a Nurse's Association. Google (Your state) Nurse's Association and you will the web site for your state and all Nurse's Associations provide information about the nursing schools, license requirements and contact information.

States to be a Nurse in 2012 ” by Linda Lampert . Linda, using salary data from a 2012 staff survey published by Physician’s Practice, includes New York as one of the top three states to be a nurse. I agree that the numbers might look good to an outsider, but the reality is that most nurses in New York State work in Manhattan hospitals and compared to the cost of living, nurses don’t make as much money as you think. I was recently offered a critical care position at a major New York City hospital while I was working as a contract employee. The hospital is unionized and the salary is non-negotiable. Here is the breakdown:. Base pay: $68,812. BSN pay: $1,600. 7 years experience: $2,831.13. ———————————————-. TOTAL (gross) $73,243.13 per year (equivalent to $37.56 per hour)In order to be approved for an apartment in Manhattan, rental applicants must provide tax returns that indicate their gross income is FORTY times the cost of one month’s rent."

"text": "Full Answer Every bill that the U. S. House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate passes goes to the president to be approved so it can become the law of the land, notes the National Archive. The president is required to sign the bill if he approves it. However, the president has the power to veto a bill sent to him for approval. Once the president vetoes a bill, he returns it to the house that came up with the bill along with the objections. Overriding a Veto If two-thirds of the house reconsiders the bill, it'll be sent along with the president‰Ûªs reasons for rejecting the bill to the other house to be considered for an override. If two-thirds of Congress approves the bill, it becomes law. The framers of the U. S. Constitution gave the president powers to veto acts of Congress as a means of ensuring checks and balances, notes The Heritage Foundation. Essentially to prevent the Congress from becoming too powerful. This is one of the best examples of the principle of separation of powers, which is an integral element of the U. S. Constitution. The framers of the constitution established the principle of separation of powers between the three branches of government to establish an effective system of checks and balances and prevent misuse or abuse of power."

A veto can be absolute, as for instance in the United Nations Security Council, whose permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and the United States of America) can block any resolution, or it can be limited, as in the legislative process of the United States, where a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate may override a Presidential veto of legislation.

The concept of a veto body originated with the Roman consuls and tribunes. Either of the two consuls holding office in a given year could block a military or civil decision by the other; any tribune had the power to unilaterally block legislation passed by the Roman Senate.

A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded. The new president favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican -dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. He was acquitted in the Senate by one vote. Johnson was born in poverty in Raleigh, North Carolina and never attended school.

Bettemann / Getty Imagesby Robert Longley Updated April 03, 2018The U. S. Constitution grants the President of the United States the sole power to veto—say “No”—to bills passed by both houses of Congress. A vetoed bill can still become law if Congress overrides the president’s action by obtaining a supermajority vote of two-thirds of the members of both the House (290 votes) and the Senate (67 votes). While the Constitution does not contain the phrase “presidential veto,” Article I requires that every bill, order, resolution or other act of legislation passed by the Congress must be presented to the president for his or her approval and signature before it officially becomes law. The presidential veto clearly illustrates the function of the system of “ checks and balances ” designed for the U. S government by the nation’s Founding Fathers. While the president, as head of the executive branch, can “check” to the power of the legislative branch by vetoing bills passed by Congress, the legislative branch can “balance” that power by overriding the president’s veto. The first presidential veto occurred on April 5, 1792, when President George Washington vetoed an apportionment bill that would have increased the membership of the House by providing for additional representatives for some states. The first successful congressional override of a presidential veto took place on March 3, 1845, when Congress overrode President John Tyler’s veto of a controversial spending bill. Historically, Congress succeeds in overriding a presidential veto in less than 7% of its attempts. For example, in its 36 attempts to override vetoes issued by President George W. Bush, Congress succeeded only once."

With the Assassination of Lincoln, the Presidency fell upon an old-fashioned southern Jacksonian Democrat of pronounced states’ rights views. Although an honest and honorable man, Andrew Johnson was one of the most unfortunate of Presidents. Arrayed against him were the Radical Republicans in Congress, brilliantly led and ruthless in their tactics. Johnson was no match for them. Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1808, Johnson grew up in poverty. He was apprenticed to a tailor as a boy, but ran away. He opened a tailor shop in Greeneville, Tennessee, married Eliza Mc Cardle, and participated in debates at the local academy. Entering politics, he became an adept stump speaker, championing the common man and vilifying the plantation aristocracy. As a Member of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 1840’s and ’50’s, he advocated a homestead bill to provide a free farm for the poor man."

Learning Objectives Differentiate between Lincoln’s and Congress’s approaches to Reconstruction Key Takeaways Key Points The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction was Lincoln’s plan to reintegrate the Confederate states back into the Union, granting presidential pardons to all Southerners (except political leaders) who took an oath of future allegiance to the Union. Radical Republicans rejected Lincoln’s plan and instead passed the more stringent Wade-Davis Bill, which called for 50 percent of the state to take the loyalty oath. Lincoln pocket vetoed this bill. The Freedmen ‘s Bureau was an agency that provided food, shelter, medical aid, employment aid, education, and other needs for blacks and poor whites. It was the largest federal aid relief plan at the time, and it was the first large-scale governmental welfare program. President Johnson proved to be an obstacle to the Radical Republicans in Congress, who attempted to completely overhaul the Southern government and economy. In 1866, Johnson vetoed two important bills by Congress; in response, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment, granting African Americans full citizenship. Key Terms10 percent plan: A model for reinstatement of Southern states, offered by Abraham Lincoln in December 1863, that decreed that a state could be reintegrated into the Union when 10 percent of the 1860 vote count from that state had taken an oath of allegiance to the United States and pledged to abide by emancipation.

President of the United States The head of the Executive Branch, one of the three branches of the federal government. The U. S. Constitution sets relatively strict requirements about who may serve as president and for howlong. Under Article II, only a natural-born citizen of the United States is eligible to serve as president; a person born outside the United States, even if he later becomes a citizen, may not serve. In addition, a person must be at least 35 years old to become president and must have resided in the United Statesfor at least 14 years. Under the Twenty-Second Amendment, which was added to the Constitution in 1951, no person may serve as president for more than two four-year terms. The amendment furtherprovides that a person who succeeds to the office for more than two years of an unexpired term (forexample, because a sitting president dies or resigns) may serve for only one additional four-year term. Article II also sets limits on the president's authority."

The President of the United States is elected to a four-year term by electors from every state and the District of Columbia. The electors make up the Electoral College, which is comprised of 538 electors, equal to the number of Representatives and Senators that currently make up Congress. The citizens of each state vote for slates of electors who then vote for the President on the prescribed day, selected by Congress. To become President, a person must be a natural born citizen of the United States. Naturalized citizens are ineligible, as are persons under the age of 35. In the case that the President should be unable to perform his duties, the Vice-President becomes the President. Amendment XXII placed a two-term limit on the presidential office.

"text": "A brief look at how Presidents use veto power in difficult situations November 10, 2014 by Scott Bomboy With the Republicans controlling the next Congress, there’s already talk of President Barack Obama flexing his executive veto powers. So how have other Presidents used what Woodrow Wilson called “the most formidable prerogative”? To be sure, the executive veto is on the table for President Obama as the 114 th Congress convenes in January. During his first six years, President Obama only used the veto twice, and Congress didn’t override either veto. But during a Thursday TV appearance, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said, “The President does have a pen on his desk, and I’m confident that he’ll be in a position, where he’ll have to veto some legislation where Democrats and Republicans are not able to find some common ground. ”It would be unusual for President Obama to not veto at least one bill in his final two years in office. His predecessor, President George W. Bush, didn’t use a single veto during his first term, but he issued 12 vetoes in his second term, and 11 of the vetoes came in 2007 and 2008 – when the Democrats controlled the Senate and the House. Often, the threat of a veto is enough to ward off legislation that will surely get rejected by the President. The original Constitution only listed five types of decisions that required a two-thirds super-majority vote in Congress, and two more were added in subsequent amendments. Overriding a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate, as specified in Article 1, Section 7."

In 2011, approximately 7.3 million people reported French as their mother tongue in Canada and 7.9 million spoke French at home at least on a regular basis. The number of people with French as their first official language spoken increased from 7.4 million in 2006 to 7.7 million in 2011 (Table 1). 6Although the number of persons who reported French as their mother tongue rose by almost 328,000 between 2006 and 2011, their proportion of the overall Canadian population decreased slightly from 22.3% to 22.0%. 7 Similarly, the number of people who spoke French most often at home increased, but the relative share of this population fell slightly from 21.7% to 21.5%.

The languages used for instruction are referred to as the L1 and the L2 for each student, with L1 being the native language of the student and L2 being the second language to be acquired through immersion programs and techniques. There are different contexts for language immersion, such as age of students, class time spent in the L2, subjects taught, and the level of participation by the native L1 speakers. Although programs differ by country and context, most language immersion programs have the overall goal of promoting bilingualism between the two different sets of language speakers. In many cases, biculturalism is also a goal for speakers of the majority language (i.e. the language spoken by the majority of the surrounding population) and the minority language (i.e. the language that is not the majority language). Research has shown that these forms of bilingual education provide students with overall greater language comprehension and production of the L2 in a native-like manner; in addition to, greater exposure to other cultures and the preservation of languages, particularly heritage languages. The Arabic Al-Waha at Vergas, Minnesota, and Japanese Mori no Ike at Dent, Minnesota camps of Concordia Language Villages perform a cultural exchange evening program, in which the Arabic villagers learn Japanese and a bit of calligraphy through Japanese language immersion.

Most live in the province of Quebec, where they form a majority of the population. The past thirty-five years have seen a strong rebirth of the French Canadians' sense of cultural identity. It has been accompanied by a political separatist movement with far-reaching implications not only for Quebec, but for all of Canada. The French presence in Canada began in 1534, but permanent settlement did not begin until Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec City in 1608. The French eventually carved out an enormous territory stretching as far east as the Maritime provinces and south to the Gulf of Mexico. After France's defeat in the French and Indian Wars, Britain won control of New France, formalized by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. Under British rule, the French Canadians remained a distinct cultural group. The preservation of their cultural identity was aided by the influence of the Catholic Church, the tendency to marry within their own community, and the tradition of having large families. When the Dominion of Canada was established in 1867, French Canadians accounted for one-third of the new country's population."

Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl —languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French ( Francien) has largely supplanted.

Constituting nearly one-sixth of Canada’s total land area, Quebec is the largest of Canada’s 10 provinces in size and is second only to Ontario in population. Its capital, Quebec city, is the oldest city in Canada. The name Quebec, first bestowed on the city in 1608 and derived from an Algonquian word meaning “where the river narrows,” beckons visitors to the city’s splendid view of the majestic St. Lawrence River and the pastoral Orleans Island. The province’s major metropolis, Montreal (Montréal), encompassing Montreal Island, Jesus Island to the north, and several communities on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, is the second largest city in Canada. Quebec is bounded to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay, to the east by the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, to the southeast by the Gulf of St. Lawrence, New Brunswick, and the U. S. state of Maine, to the south by the U. S. states of New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York, and to the west by Ontario, James Bay, and Hudson Bay. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The Chateau Frontenac, Quebec city, Que. George Hunter Quebec Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The boundaries of Quebec were altered many times following the establishment of New France in the early 17th century, when the French colonial empire in North America spread all the way to the Gulf of Mexico and west of the Mississippi River. At that time James Bay, Hudson Bay, and the Ungava region belonged to the British Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1898 Quebec’s boundary was extended north to the Eastmain River and east to Labrador."

During a visit to Quebec City on Thursday, the Liberal leadership candidate was asked by reporters about plans by the Parti Québécois provincial government to toughen so-called Bill 101, Quebec's French-language charter. The pro-independence PQ calls the matter urgent, following census data that suggests a decline in francophones' demographic weight in the province. Trudeau's response: The PQ language policy is unnecessary and counter-productive. While he expressed support for the old Bill 101, pointing out that it has allowed French to thrive in a Quebec nestled in a bilingual Canada, Trudeau said Thursday that adding teeth now to the language law risks needlessly reigniting old battles. \"\" I think we are revisiting old debates,\"\" Trudeau said. \"\" The majority of people in Papineau\"\" — his Montreal riding — \"\"in Quebec City and across Quebec are focused on their jobs, the economy, health and education of their children to participate fully in this era of globalization in which we live. \"\"' Lack of knowledge'The PQ's reaction was swift.

The term was used as an ethnic/racial category in the casta system that was in use during the Spanish Empire's control of their American colonies. Nowadays though, particularly in Latin America, Mestizo has become more of a cultural term, with culturally mainstream Latin Americans regarded or termed as Mestizos regardless of their actual ancestry, and with the term \"\"Indian\"\" being reserved exclusively for people who have maintained a separate indigenous ethnic identity, language, tribal affiliation, etc. Consequently, today, the vast majority of Spanish speaking Latin Americans are regarded as Mestizos.

"text": "\"alamy MONTREAL - Old anxieties about the survival of Quebec's culture are being revived — with front-page headlines, talk-show airwaves and the provincial legislature filled with warnings of impending doom. The latest Canadian census offers a chunk of new data for those sounding the alarm bells of assimilation, by showing that Quebec's demographic influence is waning within Canada. CENSUS HIGHLIGHTSThe results of the 2011 survey, released in February, revealed that Quebec's weight within Canada has shrunk by nearly one-fifth over recent decades, with no sign of that trend diminishing. The census says that in a span of 60 years Quebec's share of the total Canadian population dropped from nearly a third (28.9 in 1951) to less than a quarter (23.6 per cent in 2011). During a decades-long exodus, Quebec has watched hundreds of thousands of its citizens put the province in their rear-view mirrors. Not only have these departures steadily eaten away at Quebec's standing within Canada, they have fuelled a fear far older than the country itself, for the survival of the French language. That centuries-old concern lies at the root of present-day political realities in the province — of language laws that put French first, of debates over integrating minorities, of demands for more power in Ottawa. It has propelled the argument that there's only one way to keep Quebec's culture and language from being swallowed in the surrounding sea of English: national independence. The 2011 census figures surface as the debate over protecting Quebec's French heritage has reignited. Several recent events have rekindled passions and occupied much of the political discussion."

"text": "\"Words per minute From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Words per minute, commonly abbreviated WPM, is a measure of words processed in a minute, often used as a measurement of the speed of typing, reading or Morse code sending and receiving. Since the length or duration of words is clearly variable, for the purpose of such measurement, the definition of each word is often standardized to be five characters or keystrokes long in English, [1] including spaces and punctuation. For example, under such a method applied to plain English text the phrase \"\"I run\"\" counts as one word, but \"\"rhinoceros\"\" and \"\"let's talk\"\" would both count as two. Contents [ hide ]1 Alphanumeric entry2 Stenotype3 Numeric entry4 Handwriting5 Reading and comprehension6 Speech and listening7 Morse code8 See also9 References10 External links Alphanumeric entry [ edit]Brandon Raziano found that one study of average computer users in 1997, the average rate for transcription was 33 words per minute, and 19 words per minute for composition. [ 2] In the same study, when the group was divided into \"\"fast\"\", \"\"moderate\"\", and \"\"slow\"\" groups, the average speeds were 40 wpm, 35 wpm, and 23 wpm, respectively. [ 3]With the onset of the era of desktop computers, fast typing skills became much more widespread. An average professional typist types usually in speeds of 50 to 80 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other time-sensitive typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120 wpm. [ 4] Two-finger typists, sometimes also referred to as \"\" hunt and peck \"\" typists, commonly reach sustained speeds of about 37 wpm for memorized text and 27 wpm when copying text, but in bursts may be able to reach much higher speeds. [ 3] From the 1920s through the 1970s, typing speed (along with shorthand speed) was an important secretarial qualification and typing contests were popular and often publicized by typewriter companies as promotional tools. The fastest typing speed on an alphanumeric keyboard, 216 words in one minute, was achieved by Stella Pajunas in 1946 on an IBM electric. ["

"text": "How to Calculate Keystrokes Per Hour By Shelley Hoose Share You can calculate the number of keystrokes per hour you type if you know your word-per-minute typing speed. Several online typing tests calculate typing speed, based on how many words you can type per minute, assuming five characters equals one word. If a test records 300 characters per minute, divide that by five, and you typed 60 words per minute. KPH is the same as characters per minute, but is based on the number of characters you can type in an hour. This measurement is considered more accurate than a per-minute measurement because sustaining a typing speed over time is a more common use case. Video of the Day Data entry jobs may require a minimum typing speed.credit: angellodeco/i Stock/Getty Images Step Take an online typing test (see Resources). Avoid taking a test if you have been typing steadily; take a break to rest your hands and fingers and then begin. The test reports your WPM rate. Step Repeat the test at a different typing test site.

Character Per Minute (CPM) calculates how many characters are typed per minute. Compare to WPM, CPM is more accurate and takes shorter time to measure.

When you have set your sights on a high-paying career or want to have as many job opportunities as possible available to you, you should learn how to type faster and increase your average wpm count. These tips can help you become a faster and more proficient typist. Levels of Average Words Per Minute As you prepare to increase your average words per minute, it is important that you realize that this count may vary according to your current skill level. Each level of typing skill uses a different number as a wpm standard. For example, novices just learning how to type are expected to hit a benchmark wmp of 0 to 24. In contrast, intermediate typists are expected to type at least 25 to 30 wpm. As you progress, your speed naturally increases. The average wpm at which many people type is 31 to 41 while professional typists have a 42 to 54 wpm speed. The two highest levels of typing, known as typemaster and megaracer, have wpm speeds that range from 55 to 79 and 80+, respectively."

If you're one who prefers this mode of typing, you may not win first place in a typing test or a wpm test but you are actually doing it the same way that the originators of the typewriter intended it to be used. The first typewriters were designed to be used using only two fingers and they were actually invented to assist blind people. They were able to type by feeling embossed letters on paper. The typewriter was invented in 1866, but the idea dates back to 1714. Christopher Latham Sholes, Carlos Glidden and Samuel Soulé, built the first practical typing machine in 1866 and Sholes obtained a patent in 1868. The Remington Gun Company was the manufacturer of the machines and it took one more patent and another three years for Sholes, Glidden, and Soulé, to produce a model close to the typewriters we use today. Mrs. L. V. Longley developed the method for ten-fingered typing in 1978. Touch typing, or memorizing the location of keys and key placement memorization was Frank Mc Gurrin's conception. Sholes developed the QWERTY layout, which is the standard keyboard layout used today."

[ 1]Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment. It is named for Samuel F. B. Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. The International Morse Code [1] encodes the ISO basic Latin alphabet, some extra Latin letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals ( prosigns) as standardized sequences of short and long signals called \"\"dots\"\" and \"\"dashes\"\", [1] or \"\"dits\"\" and \"\"dahs\"\", as in amateur radio practice. Because many non-English natural languages use more than the 26 Roman letters, extensions to the Morse alphabet exist for those languages. Each Morse code symbol represents either a text character (letter or numeral) or a prosign and is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. The dot duration is the basic unit of time measurement in code transmission. The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot. Each dot or dash is followed by a short silence, equal to the dot duration. The letters of a word are separated by a space equal to three dots (one dash), and the words are separated by a space equal to seven dots. ["

If top readers read at speeds of above 1000 words per minute (wpm) with near 85% comprehension, they only represent 1% of readers. Average readers are the majority and only reach around 200 wpm with a typical comprehension of 60%. This seems surprising since most readers, actively reading work documents, newspapers, magazines, books or the contents of a computer display are practicing daily for at least one hour. With such an intense training everyone should be close to top performances. Unfortunately, this is far from the real situation. The average reader is five times slower than the good reader. Things are even worse if we consider reading efficiency as well as speed. Reading efficiency is reading speed weighted by comprehension rate and it amounts to 200 x 60% or 120 efficient words per minute (ewpm) for the average reader and to 1000 x 85% or 850 ewpm for top readers. Thus, an efficiency ratio of seven divides these two categories."

I believe that your question needs to be answered in four parts Q1: Do teenagers have faster physical reaction times to a stimulus than adults A: No, research has shown that the fastest reaction times needed for speed-typing, are achieved in the early 20’s and they gradually slow after this? Two forms of intelligence are used to carry out physical activities such as typing. Crystalline Intelligence and Fluid Intelligence. Professor John J Medina in his lecture series – “Your Best Brain” - lecture 5 @ 26’03” detailed how Crystallized Intelligence is defined as the ability to learn patterns and knowledge from life’s experiences. Fluid Intelligence is defined as the speed of solving new problems and using logic from the database established with your Crystalline Intelligence. Crystallized intelligence skills tend to get better as you get older e.g. you are better able to retain knowledge from books, do crosswords etc. Fluid intelligence skills, such as increased speed of typing training, do not improve with age. Research has shown that fluid intelligence skills reach their maximum in your early twenties not teens but then begins along slow decline. So in summary for typing: This means a person’s speed of typing letters and shortwords will increase into their early 20’s because the pattern of a keyboard doesnot change so is easy for their young Crystalline Intelligence to remember sospeed of typing is primarily affected by Fluid Intelligence."

When making presentations I speak at approximately 145-160 words per minute (wpm), while an average American English speaker engaged in a friendly conversation speaks at a rate of approximately 110–150 wpm. ( Interestingly, publishers recommend books on tape to be voiced at 150-160 wpm, auctioneers are generally 250-400 wpm while the average reading rate is about 200-300 wpm). However, as you may know, people speak at different rates at different times. Natural speech includes bursts of more rapid speech and in addition, we are all capable of speaking faster and slower when we want. Of course, there are also variations in speed associated with the situation in which the speech is being produced. We speak more rapidly if we are in a hurry, or saying something urgent, or trying not to be interrupted in a conversation. For many people, nervousness or excitement will also increase the rate of speech."

Generally, the book value of an asset listed in a company's balance sheet cannot be adjusted according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Should the asset appreciate, its market value would be \"\"above water\"\". A company with above water assets tends to attract value investors. This is because of the hidden value that most investors won't discover if they don't look beyond the financials. For example, if a company purchased a piece of land for $100,000 and the company later discovered an oil reserve on the property, the market value of the land would increase and be above water, because the book value would remain at $100,000.2.

The definitions of these layers are based on temperature. The mixed layer is near the surface where the temperature is roughly that of surface water. In the thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly from the mixed layer temperature to the much colder deep water temperature. The mixed layer and the deep water layer are relatively uniform in temperature, while the thermocline represents the transition zone between the two. Locating feeding fish is one of the most important skills a fisherman can develop. You can mark fish on your fish finder and not entice them to strike your lure if they are not in their \"\"feeding zone\"\"! Most species of fish have a preferred temperature of water that they will actively feed in. Find this area of temperature with fish present and you will greatly increase your chances of catching fish. Remember, fish are cold blooded."

The vapor pressure is the partial pressure at equilibrium of a substance in the gas phase when the conditions (T,P) are such that the substance should normally be in the liquid phase (as per the phase diagram). Therefore, the second sentence Ravi Singh choudhary said: ↑However, when both vapor and liquid are present and the system is in the phase equilibrium, the partial pressure of the vapor must be equal to the vapor pressure and system is said to be saturated.is true by definition.

Let's get this straight once and for all. First, all the answers above are partially correct. Have you ever considered why, if liquids contract (shrink) as they cool, thus getting denser, ice floats? lt seems that a more dense object (an iron bar) would sink in a less dense medium (water) and so a lake would freeze from the bottom up, not from the top down. Well, water does contract as it cools, until it gets to approximately 4 deg cent."

Slab-on-grade buildings do not have basements. Basements are typically used as a utility space for a building where such items as the furnace, water heater, car park , and air-conditioning system are located; so also are amenities such as the electrical distribution system, and cable television distribution point. In British English the word 'basement' is used for underground floors of, for example, department stores, but is rarely used for a space below a house, and the word cellar is used to apply to any such large underground room. Subcellar is a cellar that lies further underneath http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Subcellar. Historical development For most of its early history, the basement took one of two forms. It could be little more than a cellar, or it could be a section of a building containing rooms and spaces similar to those of the rest of the structure, as in the case of basement flats and basement office s. However, beginning with the development of large, mid-priced suburban homes in the 1950s, the basement, as a space in its own right, gradually took hold. Initially, it was typically a large, concrete-floored space, accessed by indoor stairs, and with exposed columns and beams along the walls and ceilings, or sometimes, walls of poured concrete or concrete cinder block."

"text": "\"2. THE CONCEPTUAL BASIS2.1 PROBLEMS WITH CURRENT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMSDespite the necessity for a standard classification system, none of the current classifications has been internationally accepted (Danserau, 1961; Fosberg, 1961; Eiten, 1968; UNESCO, 1973; Mueller-Dombois and Ellenberg, 1974; Kuechler and Zonneveld, 1988; CEC, 1993; Duhamel, 1995). Often, the land cover classes are inappropriate for particular purposes (e.g., statistical or rural development needs), the scale is related to a specific purpose and the information is mostly obsolete. Furthermore, factors are often used in the classification system which result in a undesirable mixture of potential and actual land cover (e.g., including climate as a parameter). The reasons why none of the current classifications could serve as a reference system are manifold, as will be explained below.2.1.1 Purpose A proportion of the existing classifications are either vegetation classifications (e.g., Danserau, 1961; Fosberg, 1961; Eiten, 1968; UNESCO 1973; Mueller-Dombois and Ellenberg, 1974; Anderson et al ., 1976; Kuechler and Zonneveld, 1988), broad land cover classifications, or systems related to the description of a specific feature (e.g., agricultural areas). Thus, they are limited in their capacity to define the whole range of possible land cover classes. An illustration is the UNESCO Vegetation Classification (designed to serve primarily for vegetation maps at a scale of 1:1 000 000), which considers only natural vegetation, while all other vegetated areas, such as cultivated areas and urban vegetated areas, are ignored. Other vegetation classifications, even if they consider agricultural areas, do not describe these classes with the same level of detail as used for the natural vegetation ones. In contrast, systems used to describe agricultural areas give very few details in their description of natural vegetation."

"text": "\"What does pressure mean? If you tried to hammer a bowling pin into the wall, nothing would probably happen except for people deciding to no longer lend you their bowling pins. However, if you hammer with the same force on a nail, the nail would be a lot more likely to penetrate the wall. This shows that sometimes just knowing the magnitude of the force isn't enough: you also have to know how that force is distributed on the surface of impact. For the nail, all the force between the wall and the nail was concentrated into the very small area on the sharp tip of the nail. However, for the bowling pin the area touching the wall was much larger, and therefore the force was much less concentrated. To make this concept precise, we use the idea of pressure. Pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area. P =AFSo to create a large amount of pressure, you can either exert a large force or exert a force over a small area (or do both). In other words, you might be safe lying on a bed of nails if the total surface area of all the nail tips together is large enough. ["

"text": "The Dalton Period extends from 10,500 to 9,900 radiocarbon years ago (circa 8500 to 7900 BC), during which there existed a culture of ancient Native American hunter-gatherers (referred to as the Dalton people) who made a distinctive set of stone tools that are today found at sites across the middle of the United States. The name “Dalton” was first used in 1948 to refer to a style of chipped stone projectile point/knife. The Dalton point was named after Judge Sidna Poage Dalton, who had found numerous Dalton sites in central Missouri. Evidence of the Dalton culture has been found throughout the Mississippi River Valley. As Dalton points were found in different regions of the mid-continent, they were given different names, such as Holland, Meserve, Greenbrier, Colbert, Hardaway, and Breckenridge. Excavations at the Brand and Sloan sites and surface collections of many other sites in northeast Arkansas provide a wealth of information about the Dalton culture in northeast Arkansas. The internationally famous Sloan site in Greene County is a Dalton Period cemetery and the oldest documented cemetery in the western hemisphere. Studies of stone tools from Arkansas’s Dalton sites have provided many insights into the lives of these hunter-gatherers during the transition from the last ice age to the modern era. The Dalton Period occurred during the transition from the last ice age to the beginning of the Holocene (Recent) age. By the beginning of the Dalton Period, much of the landscape in Arkansas was covered in trees and grasses, and the sandy braided stream terraces of the Mississippi Delta were dominated by oak and hickory forests."

"text": "excoriation An excoriation is a harsh criticism. If your senior prank involves releasing a flock of chickens into the halls of your high school, you're practically asking for an excoriation from the principal. Excoriation comes from the Latin roots ex, meaning off, and corium, meaning skin. The medical meaning of excoriation refers to a place where your skin is scraped or abraded. If you fall off your bicycle, you may get excoriations on your hands and knees. The idea of excoriation as severe censure comes from this medical definition. If you give someone a harsh lecture, you have verbally whipped and abraded that person, perhaps leaving mental scrapes and scratches. Thesaurus Definitions of excoriation1n severe censure Type of: denouncement, denunciationa public act of denouncingn an abraded area where the skin is torn or worn off Synonyms: abrasion, scrape, scratch Types: grazea superficial abrasionrope burnabrasion (usually on the hands) caused by friction from a rope Type of: lesion, woundan injury to living tissue (especially an injury involving a cut or break in the skin)Word Family Usage Examples"

"text": "\"The Cast is Being Cast Off In case you haven't noticed, the use of braces, walking boots, and removable casts also referred to as splints has increased greatly in recent years. At one time, if you had a broken bone you ended up in a plaster of Paris cast for at least six weeks and possibly two or three times that long. Then came fiberglass, which has largely replaced the use of plaster of Paris in the application of a cast to a patient's extremity. Fiberglass, while not light, is of course more durable than plaster, showing much less tendency to crack or break. In more recent years, there has been a definite movement on the part of orthopaedic surgeons toward the use of devices other than the traditional cast. For example, in an ankle fracture that does not require surgery, a fiberglass cast might be used for a few weeks to allow for initial healing of the fracture. Then the patient is frequently placed in a walking brace, which many patients have likened to a ski boot. There are two types, one which is lower and comes up to the mid calf and another type which comes to just below the knee. It depends on the type of fracture that is being treated which brace is used. Sometimes depending on the fracture, the walking brace can be used even initially and a fiberglass cast is not used at all."

Dermabrasion has been practiced for many years (before the advent of lasers) and involves the controlled deeper abrasion (wearing away) of the upper to mid layers of the skin with any variety of strong abrasive devices including a wire brush, diamond wheel or fraise, sterilized sandpaper, salt crystals, or other mechanical means. Dermabrasion should not be confused with microdermabrasion which is a newer and non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed by non-physician personnel, nurses, estheticians, medical assistants, and most recently untrained individuals in their homes. [ citation needed]Dermabrasion procedures are surgical, invasive procedures that typically require a local anaesthetic. Often they are performed in surgical suites or in professional medical centers. Since the procedure can typically remove the top to deeper layers of the epidermis, and extend into the reticular dermis, there is always minor skin bleeding. The procedure carries risks of scarring, skin discoloration, infections, and facial herpes virus ( cold sore) reactivation. In aggressive dermabrasion cases, there is often tremendous skin bleeding and spray during the procedure that has to be controlled with pressure."

When the surface is completely soaped up, rinse it with clean water and use paper towels to dry the surface. Set your ABS object aside for half an hour to allow for it to completely air-dry. Rub the surface of the object with a fine-grade sandpaper; you do not want to scratch the surface but gently abrade it. The surface should no longer feel \"\"glass-smooth\"\" when you are done.

It is not legal advice. It is not intended to replace the OHSA or the regulations. For further information please see full disclaimer. Hazard summary Asbestos in aftermarket replacement brake pads poses an increased risk of asbestos-related disease for auto brake mechanics. Background Asbestos was historically used as a friction material in brake linings, disc brake pads and clutch facings in vehicles because of its unique fire resistance and wear properties. With an increase in the awareness of the health risks associated with asbestos and introduction of specific occupational health and safety legislation to address these hazards in the early 1980s, the manufacturing of asbestos-containing friction materials, such as brake pads, in Ontario ceased, as did the use of the asbestos-containing products generally. For many years the use of asbestos-containing friction products was mostly considered to be phased out in Ontario's automotive industry. This however has changed with recent reports of aftermarket brake pads containing asbestos being imported into Canada. According to Statistics Canada reports, more than $2.6 million worth of brake pads containing asbestos entered Canada in 2011, with more than half imported into Ontario."

It is the process of friction caused by scuffing, scratching, wearing down, marring, and rubbing away of materials. The intensity of abrasion depends on the hardness, concentration, velocity and mass of the moving particles. Abrasion generally occurs four ways. [ 1] [2] Glaciation slowly grinds rocks picked up by ice against rock surfaces. [ 3] Solid objects transported in river channels make abrasive surface contact with the bed and walls. Objects transported in waves breaking on coastlines cause abrasion. And, finally, abrasion can be caused by wind transporting sand or small stones against surface rocks."

In terms of primary sources containing Lincoln's letters and writings, scholars rely on The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy Basler, and others. [ 1] It only includes writings by Lincoln, and omits incoming correspondence. In the six decades since Basler completed his work, some new documents written by Lincoln have been discovered. Previously, a project was underway at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln to provide \"\"a freely accessible comprehensive electronic edition of documents written by and to Abraham Lincoln\"\". [ 2] The Papers of Abraham Lincoln completed Series I of their project The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln in 2000. They electronically launched The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln, Second Edition in 2009, [3] and published a selective print edition of this series. [ 4] Attempts are still being made to transcribe documents for Series II (non-legal, pre-presidential materials) and Series III (presidential materials). [ 5]There have been 16,000 books published on Lincoln—125 on the assassination alone—more than any other American. [ 6] [7] This listing is therefore highly selective and is based on the reviews in the scholarly journals, and recommended readings compiled by scholars."

Funeral services were held in Washington, D. C.. and then at additional locations as a funeral train transported his remains for burial in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. Lincoln's eldest son Robert Todd rode the train to Baltimore and then disembarked and returned to the White House. Lincoln's wife Mary Todd Lincoln remained at the White House because she was too distraught to make the trip. [ 1] Robert took a later train to Springfield for his father's final funeral and burial. The remains of Lincoln's youngest son, William Wallace Lincoln (1850–1862) [a] were also placed on the train, which left Washington, D.

Millions of Americans viewed the train along the route, and participated in the ceremonies and processions. Lincoln was interred at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield."

Presidents Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln - Key Events02/07/1861: Confederate States of America organized The Confederate States of America is organized by the lower Southern states stretching from South Carolina to Texas. Jefferson Davis is elected president. Davis, a native Mississippian, had served in the Senate as a leading Southern advocate and was Secretary of War for President Franklin Pierce. Over the course of the Civil War, Davis will face the conflict between the confederate ideology of states' rights and the need for a strong, central government to lead the war against President Abraham Lincoln and the Union.03/04/1861: Abraham Lincoln inaugurated Abraham Lincoln is inaugurated as the sixteenth President of the United States, and the nation's first Republican President. Many Southerners view his victory, determined by the free states, as the final blow in decades of sectional conflict. Between the time of Lincoln's election and his inauguration, seven states from the lower South secede. In his inauguration speech, Lincoln attempts to pacify the South by stating that he will not interfere with slavery where it exists but that the secession of states from the Union is illegal. He warns that he will respond to violence with force.03/11/1861: Confederate Congress adopts Confederate Constitution The Confederate Congress unanimously adopts the Confederate Constitution, which declares the sovereignty of states and forbids the passage of any bill which outlaws slavery.04/12/1861: Fort Sumter Responding to Lincoln's attempt to resupply Fort Sumter (one of the last remaining federal stations in the South), South Carolina's Confederate batteries, under the command of General P. G. T. Beauregard open fire on the federal arsenal, in the Charleston harbor, at 4:30 a.m. Confederate President Jefferson Davis issues the order to Beauregard. Civil War Begins The American Civil War began at 4:30am on April 12, 1861, when General Pierre G. T. Beauregard's Confederate artillery opened fire on Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. Beauregard's bombardment lasted for thirty-three hours until Union Major Robert Anderson surrendered the fort."

Cent Category: Penny History The one-cent coin, commonly known as the penny, was the first currency of any type authorized by the United States, and for over two centuries, the penny's design has symbolized the spirit of the nation, from Liberty to Lincoln. The design for the first one-cent coin was suggested by Benjamin Franklin. The original one-cent coin was over five times heavier and almost 50% lager than its contemporary counterpart. The word \"\"penny\"\" is derived from the original British coin of the same name. Over 300 billion one-cent coins, with 11 different designs, have been minted since 1787. The first one-cent coin was struck in 1787 by a private mint. This coin, known as the Fugio cent, was 100% copper and this composition would continue until the mid-1800's. Paul Revere, a noted blacksmith, supplied some of the copper for one-cent coins minted during the early 1790's. No one-cent coins were minted in 1815 due to a copper shortage caused by the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Flying Eagle cent was first produced in 1856."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Why was the American Civil War fought? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The American Civil War (1861–1865), also known as the War Between the States (among other names), was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as \"\"the Confederacy.\"\" Led by Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states (where slavery had been abolished) and by five slave states that became known as the border states. Causes of secession The main explanation for the origins of the American Civil War is slavery, especially Southern anger at the attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories. States' rights and the tariff issue became entangled in the slavery issue, and were intensified by it. [ 1] Other important factors were party politics, Abolitionism, Southern nationalism, Northern nationalism, expansionism, sectionalism, economics and modernization in the Antebellum Period. The United States was a nation divided into two distinct regions separated by the Mason-Dixon line. New England, the Northeast and the Midwest had a rapidly-growing economy based on family farms, industry, mining, commerce and transportation, with a large and rapidly growing urban population and no slavery north of the border states. [ 2] Its growth was fed by a high birth rate and large numbers of European immigrants, especially Irish, British and German."

"text": "\"Terms Abolitionism - · Abolitionism was a radical movement to end slavery completely in the United States. It grew into a distinctly northern campaign by the 1830s, taking special hold in New England, where prominent writers and politicians such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner led the rally cries. Anaconda Plan - · Proposed by General Winfield Scott in the opening stages of the Civil War, the Anaconda Plan was designed to constrain the Confederate military effort in a snake-like vise by controlling the Mississippi River and enforcing an effective blockade of southern port cities on the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Such an approach was intended to reduce land operations and hence casualties to a minimum. Although Lincoln ultimately chose not to foreground the Anaconda Plan, it nevertheless played a crucial role in the Union's success. Aristocracy - · An aristocracy is a class of people that rules in perpetuity and assumes the trappings of nobility. Though seemingly inimical to the notion of democracy, an aristocracy flourished in the southern states well through the Civil War, making the Confederate cause a sympathetic one to the old world aristocracies of Europe. Border States - · The border states were a bloc of states that retained the practice of slavery while remaining loyal to the Union. These states included Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. They played a large strategic role in the Civil War, as sentiments over slavery and union were divided in these areas."

John Wilkes Booth leans forward to shoot President Abraham Lincoln as he watches a play at Ford’s Theatre in 1865. ( ( c) Corbis)By Paul Martinsmithsonian.com April 7, 2010When a celebrity-seeking couple crashed a White House state dinner last November, the issue of presidential security dominated the news. The Secret Service responded by putting three of its officers on administrative leave and scrambled to reassure the public that it takes the job of guarding the president very seriously. “ We put forth the maximum effort all the time,” said Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan. That kind of dedication to safeguarding the president didn’t always exist. It wasn’t until 1902 that the Secret Service, created in 1865 to eradicate counterfeit currency, assumed official full-time responsibility for protecting the president. Before that, security for the president could be unbelievably lax. The most astounding example was the scant protection afforded Abraham Lincoln on the night he was assassinated. Only one man, an unreliable Washington cop named John Frederick Parker, was assigned to guard the president at Ford’s Theatre on April 14, 1865."

At a time when victory over secessionists in the American Civil War was within days and slavery in all of the Union was near an end, Lincoln did not speak of happiness, but of sadness. Some see this speech as a defense of his pragmatic approach to Reconstruction, in which he sought to avoid harsh treatment of the defeated South by reminding his listeners of how wrong both sides had been in imagining what lay before them when the war began four years earlier. Lincoln balanced that rejection of triumphalism, however, with recognition of the unmistakable evil of slavery.

Lincoln was the first member of the recently-established Republican Party elected to the presidency. He was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson. Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. Lincoln took office following the 1860 presidential election, in which he won a plurality of the popular vote in a four-candidate field. Almost all of Lincoln's votes came from the Northern United States, as the Republicans held little appeal to voters in the Southern United States. A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War. During the 16 weeks between Election Day and Inauguration Day, seven slave states declared their secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union."

Answer by Jonnydarcko1 Confidence votes 3.3KUS currency is not made out of paper its made out of a cotton fiber base. Currency paper has a unique feel and is extremely durable. Is it really 'paper' in the traditional sense? There are no wood fibers or starch in currency paper. Instead, like high quality stationery, currency paper is composed of a special blend of cotton and linen fibers. The strength comes from raw materials continuously refined until the special feel of the currency is achieved. People who handle money on a regular basis, such as bank tellers, can easily determine if a bill is counterfeit by this distinctive feel. The characteristic yellowish-green tint of US currency is another distinctive feature which is, in fact, hard for color photocopiers to accurately match.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and he was named for his paternal grandfather. Thomas Lincoln was a carpenter and farmer. Both of Abraham's parents were members of a Baptist congregation which had separated from another church due to opposition to slavery. When Abraham was seven, the family moved to southern Indiana. Abraham had gone to school briefly in Kentucky and did so again in Indiana. He attended school with his older sister, Sarah (his younger brother, Thomas, had died in infancy). In 1818 Nancy Hanks Lincoln died from milk sickness, a disease obtained from drinking the milk of cows which had grazed on poisonous white snakeroot. Thomas Lincoln remarried the next year, and Abraham loved his new stepmother, Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln. She brought three children of her own into the household."

You may think that you have heard it all, and that we don’t need another theory. However, I have researched JFK quite a bit; especially with regards to the assassination, and I have come up with a different, and not very widely discussed possibility for the killing, with a parallel that goes back almost a hundred years in time. JFK was a very controversial President; he wanted to change things around. By doing so, you can’t please everyone, and he stepped on quite a few toes. One thing he wanted to do was to re-organize the CIA from within, because he considered the Agency being a Government within the Government, with too much power. Allen Dulles, who was the head of the CIA at the time did not like the idea of course, and this alone could have been the reason for the assassination. But there is another interesting aspect as well …To understand this theory we must understand that the real power is not with the politicians, but with the International Bankers (and ultimately those whom are behind them in this complex web of power). Whomever is running the show use banking and finance as their most powerful tool to accomplish their goals. You and I can try to run for Presidency if we want to, but we would not stand much of a chance."

Cent Category: Penny History The one-cent coin, commonly known as the penny, was the first currency of any type authorized by the United States, and for over two centuries, the penny's design has symbolized the spirit of the nation, from Liberty to Lincoln. The design for the first one-cent coin was suggested by Benjamin Franklin. The original one-cent coin was over five times heavier and almost 50% lager than its contemporary counterpart. The word \"\"penny\"\" is derived from the original British coin of the same name. Over 300 billion one-cent coins, with 11 different designs, have been minted since 1787. The first one-cent coin was struck in 1787 by a private mint. This coin, known as the Fugio cent, was 100% copper and this composition would continue until the mid-1800's. Paul Revere, a noted blacksmith, supplied some of the copper for one-cent coins minted during the early 1790's. No one-cent coins were minted in 1815 due to a copper shortage caused by the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Flying Eagle cent was first produced in 1856."

The architect was Henry Bacon; the designer of the primary statue – Abraham Lincoln, 1920 – was Daniel Chester French; the Lincoln statue was carved by the Piccirilli Brothers; [2] and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin. Dedicated in 1922, it is one of several monuments built to honor an American president. It has always been a major tourist attraction and since the 1930s has been a symbolic center focused on race relations. The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, \"\" The Gettysburg Address \"\" and his Second Inaugural Address. The memorial has been the site of many famous speeches, including Martin Luther King Jr. 's \"\" I Have a Dream \"\" speech, delivered on August 28, 1963, during the rally at the end of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom."

Many of the National Park Service's cultural resource programs also have ties with the presidency, including the National Register of Historic Places, the National Historic Landmarks Program, and Teaching with Historic Places lesson plans. One of the most popular NPS programs with presidential connections is the Historic American Buildings Survey, which documents important architectural sites throughout the United States and its territories, including homes of and monuments and memorials to more than 30 of our nation's chief executives. Started in 1933 as a New Deal program to provide much-needed work for architects, photographers, and historians, the Historic American Buildings Survey has recorded America's built environment in multi-format surveys comprised of more than 556,900 measured drawings, large-format photographs, and written histories. Among the more than 38,600 historic structures and sites documented in the collection (which are produced by the National Park Service and digitized for display by the Library of Congress) are the birthplaces, homes, monuments and memorials to more than 30 of our nation's presidents, from the Washington Monument to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello to LBJ's Texas ranch.

S. President Abraham Lincoln, and one of the best-known speeches in American history. [ 4] [5] It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863 – four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lincoln's carefully crafted address, secondary to others' presentations that day, came to be seen as one of the greatest and most influential statements of American national purpose. In just over two minutes Lincoln reiterated the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence [6] and proclaimed the Civil War as a struggle for the preservation of the Union sundered by the secession crisis, [7] with \"\"a new birth of freedom \"\" [8] that would bring true equality to all of its citizens. [ 9] Lincoln also redefined the Civil War as a struggle not just for the Union, but also for the principle of human equality. [ 6]Beginning with the now-iconic phrase \"\"Four score and seven years ago\"\"—referring to the signing of the Declaration of Independence eighty-seven years earlier—Lincoln invoked the United States' founding principles as set forth in that document, then reminded his listeners of the peril to those principles posed by the Civil War then in progress. He extolled the sacrifices of those who died at Gettysburg in defense of those principles, and exhorted his listeners to continue the struggle for survival of the nation's representative democracy as a beacon to the world—urging resolve \"\"that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. \"\" Despite the speech's prominent place in the history and popular culture of the United States, the exact wording and location of the speech are disputed."

"text": "Gettysburg Address Analysis & Meaning For All Americans Posted By Edwin Dearbornon Nov 4, 2012 |Gettysburg Address Analysis The Gettysburg Address is universally recognized by historians and scholars alike as the most famous and most important speech ever delivered by a US President. Its true meaning and significance to the American promise deserves a new analysis for each generation in an effort to keep not only the speech itself relevant for that new generation, but more importantly, to reinvigorate the steadfast purpose of the our God-given rights to liberty and equality. An understanding of the back drop and the events leading to the speech are necessary for a full appreciation and comprehension to Mr. Lincoln speech’s power, beauty and timelessness. His speech delivered at any other time may not have had the same influence or remembrance without that very relationship to historical events. But after three years of war weariness on both sides of the conflict, a a fierce and bloody turning point had been reached upon the battlefield of Gettysburg from July 1-3, 1863. I hope you take the time to read this post in full, as I will attempt to do an analysis of Mr. Lincoln’s address so as to clarify it, as well as accentuate what he was attempting to relay as to the importance of our “resolve” to carry on with the same dedication that those had demonstrated upon the battlefield of Gettysburg. Here is the Lincoln’s speech in full, followed by my own Gettysburg Address analysis, line by line, as well as my interpretation as to its meaning today. “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground."

According to information from American University: [3]If there is one slavery monument whose origins are highly political, the Freedman’s memorial is it. The development process for this memorial started immediately after Abraham Lincoln's assassination and ended, appropriately enough, near the end of Reconstruction in 1876. In many ways, it exemplified and reflected the hopes, dreams, striving, and ultimate failures of reconstruction. Despite being paid for by African Americans, historian Kirk Savage in 1997 condemned it as \"\"a monument entrenched in and perpetuating racist ideology \"\" because of the supplicant and inferior position of the Black figure.

Robinson's initial idea was to sculpt the Needles; however, Gutzon Borglum rejected the Needles because of the poor quality of the granite and strong opposition from Native American groups. They settled on Mount Rushmore, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Robinson wanted it to feature American West heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, [7] and Buffalo Bill Cody, [8] but Borglum decided the sculpture should have broader appeal and chose the four presidents."

By Adam Goodheart Photographs by Eugene Richards The black box nestles deep beneath the U. S. Capitol, encased behind thick glass, caged by a metal grille, as if it were a dangerous object, a ticking bomb primed for its inevitable explosion. Perhaps in a sense it is. In April 1865 carpenters constructed this velvet-draped bier, known as the Lincoln catafalque, to display the murdered president’s casket in the building’s Rotunda; its dark cloth conceals the rough pine boards they hastily nailed together. Since then, it has been brought out each time a national martyr or hero lies in state: James Garfield, William Mc Kinley, John F. Kennedy, Douglas Mac Arthur. The rest of the time it sits in a niche of the Capitol Visitor Center, passed without a glance by most of the tourist throngs as it awaits the next great American death. Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, 150 years ago this month, has been recounted and reenacted innumerable times: The fateful trip to the theater, the pistol shot in the presidential box, the actor-assassin’s melodramatic leap to the stage, and death’s arrival at last in the back room of a cheap boardinghouse. Much less known is the story of what followed. The nation mourned Lincoln as it had never mourned before. In the process, it not only defined the legacy of an American hero, it also established a new ritual of American citizenship: the shared moment of national tragedy, when a restless Republic’s busy life falls silent."

"text": "\"VIEW ON DOWNLOADThe memorial to Ulysses S. Grant was dedicated in 1922. It is located in Union Square, west of the U. S. Capitol Building, by the Capitol Reflecting Pool. In late 2011, the care of the Grant Memorial was transferred from the National Park Service to the Architect of the Capitol. The bronze elements were restored in 2016. Bronze and Marble 1920; dedicated 1922 Sculptor: Henry Merwin Shrady Architect: Edward Pearce Casey Situated in Union Square at the edge of the reflecting pool and backed by the United States Capitol, the bronze and marble General Ulysses S. Grant Memorial honors the Civil War Commander of the Union Armies who was also a two-term President (1869–1877). It marks the eastern terminus of the National Mall and faces the Lincoln Memorial almost two miles to the west, symbolically linking the President and the General who fought to save the Union. Celebrated as the largest equestrian monument in the United States, it is 252 feet long by 71 feet wide by 44 feet high and is a tour de force of monumental sculpture. It is a remarkable achievement by a sculptor who, with little formal training, toiled twenty years to translate his grand vision into cast bronze. At two and one-half times life size, the figure of Grant mounted on his horse forms the monument’s apex atop a pedestal that is over twenty-two feet high. Four lions lying with heads erect, guarding the flags of the Army and the United States, mark the corners of an imaginary pyramid’s base and visually align with the life-size Cavalry Group on the north and Artillery Group on the south."

Legos were a toy that allowed my imagination to flourish and I built everything I imagined. When I heard that the Lego Americana Roadshow was coming to the Natick Mall I was excited. The show is at the Natick Mall for a short period of time and runs from October 19th through November 2. It's a must see for anyone who is a fan of LEGO's LEGOLAND's Discover Center Master Builder Ian Coffey built with his team a collection of iconic American structures made entirely of LEGO® bricks and placed them around the mall. Those structures include Independence Hall, Old North Church, U. S. Capitol Building, Supreme Court, White House, Statue of Liberty, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial. The original Independence Hall is located in Philadelphia and is where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were created. The recreated LEGO version was designed at a 1:12 scale and is 143 inches long, 43.77 inches deep and 87.68 inches tall and it took over 570 hours by three LEGO Master Builders to create. The Old North Church located in Boston's historic North End is the oldest church in Boston. It signaled the start of the famous Paul revere ride."

Written October 15th, 1860, the letter urged him to grow a beard. Unedited, Miss Bedell's letter read: Hon A B Lincoln... Dear Sir My father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin's. I am a little girl only 11 years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are.

The Big Idea The idea of a large mountain carving is credited to South Dakota State Historian Doane Robinson, who was looking for ways to attract tourists to the state. Recruiting renowned sculptor Gutzon Borglum to the project, Doane and other prominent South Dakota leaders secured Congressional support in 1925 and began to raise funds, including $250,000 from the federal government. Carving began on October 4, 1927, removing tons of granite and slowly shaping the mountain. Originally meant to portray the presidents to the waist, only the heads were finished. Borglum’s death in 1941, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain."

Robinson's initial idea was to sculpt the Needles; however, Gutzon Borglum rejected the Needles because of the poor quality of the granite and strong opposition from Native American groups. They settled on Mount Rushmore, which also has the advantage of facing southeast for maximum sun exposure. Robinson wanted it to feature American West heroes like Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, [7] and Buffalo Bill Cody, [8] but Borglum decided the sculpture should have broader appeal and chose the four presidents."

"text": "\"Arts & Humanities History Why was the American Civil War fought? Follow 15 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The American Civil War (1861–1865), also known as the War Between the States (among other names), was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as \"\"the Confederacy.\"\" Led by Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states (where slavery had been abolished) and by five slave states that became known as the border states. Causes of secession The main explanation for the origins of the American Civil War is slavery, especially Southern anger at the attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories. States' rights and the tariff issue became entangled in the slavery issue, and were intensified by it. [ 1] Other important factors were party politics, Abolitionism, Southern nationalism, Northern nationalism, expansionism, sectionalism, economics and modernization in the Antebellum Period. The United States was a nation divided into two distinct regions separated by the Mason-Dixon line. New England, the Northeast and the Midwest had a rapidly-growing economy based on family farms, industry, mining, commerce and transportation, with a large and rapidly growing urban population and no slavery north of the border states. [ 2] Its growth was fed by a high birth rate and large numbers of European immigrants, especially Irish, British and German."

He is considered by many historians to have been the greatest American president. Early Life Lincoln was born on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin in Hardin (now Larue) County, Ky. Indians had killed his grandfather, Lincoln wrote, \"\"when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest\"\" in 1786; this tragedy left his father, Thomas Lincoln, \"\"a wandering laboring boy\"\" who \"\"grew up, literally without education.\"\" Thomas, nevertheless, became a skilled carpenter and purchased three farms in Kentucky before the Lincolns left the state. Little is known about Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln. Abraham had an older sister, Sarah, and a younger brother, Thomas, who died in infancy. In 1816 the Lincolns moved to Indiana, \"\"partly on account of slavery,\"\" Abraham recalled, \"\"but chiefly on account of difficulty in land titles in Kentucky.\"\" Land ownership was more secure in Indiana because the Land Ordinance of 1785 provided for surveys by the federal government; moreover, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the area. Lincoln's parents belonged to a faction of the Baptist church that disapproved of slavery, and this affiliation may account for Abraham's later statement that he was \"\"naturally anti-slavery\"\" and could not remember when he \"\"did not so think, and feel. \"\" Indiana was a \"\"wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.\"\""

Born in Hodgenville, Kentucky, Lincoln grew up on the western frontier in Kentucky and Indiana. Largely self-educated, he became a lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, in which he served for eight years. Elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1846, Lincoln promoted rapid modernization of the economy and opposed the Mexican–American War. After a single term, he returned to Illinois and resumed his successful law practice.

The speech was primarily addressed to the people of the South, and was intended to succinctly state Lincoln's intended policies and desires toward that section, where seven states had seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. Written in a spirit of reconciliation toward the seceded states, Lincoln's inaugural address touched on several topics: first, his pledge to \"\"hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government\"\"—including Fort Sumter, which was still in Federal hands; second, his argument that the Union was undissolvable, and thus that secession was impossible; and third, a promise that while he would never be the first to attack, any use of arms against the United States would be regarded as rebellion, and met with force. The inauguration took place on the eve of the American Civil War, which began soon after with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. Lincoln denounced secession as anarchy, and explained that majority rule had to be balanced by constitutional restraints in the American system of republicanism: A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations, and always changing easily with deliberate changes of popular opinions and sentiments, is the only true sovereign of a free people.\"\" [ 1]Desperately wishing to avoid this terrible conflict, Lincoln ended with this impassioned plea: I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection."

The Lincoln–Douglas debates (also known as The Great Debates of 1858) were a series of seven debates between Abraham Lincoln, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois, and incumbent Senator Stephen Douglas, the Democratic Party candidate. At the time, U. S. senators were elected by state legislatures; thus Lincoln and Douglas were trying for their respective parties to win control of the Illinois General Assembly. The debates previewed the issues that Lincoln would face in the aftermath of his victory in the 1860 presidential election. Although Illinois was a free state, the main issue discussed in all seven debates was slavery in the United States. In agreeing to the official debates, Lincoln and Douglas decided to hold one debate in each of the nine congressional districts in Illinois. Because both had already spoken in two— Springfield and Chicago —within a day of each other, they decided that their \"\"joint appearances\"\" would be held in the remaining seven districts.

"text": "Abraham Lincoln and Public Opinion Treasury official George S. Boutwell noted that Abraham “Lincoln possessed the almost divine faculty of interpreting the will of the people without any expression by them.” 1 Abraham Lincoln was an expert on public opinion – what it was and how it could be managed. James Russell Lowell, the first editor of the Atlantic Monthly, wrote: “Nothing is more remarkable than the unerring tact with which, in his debate with Mr. Stephen A. Douglas, he went straight to the reason of the question; nor have we ever had a more striking lesson in political tactics than the fact, that, opposed to a man exceptionally adroit in using popular prejudice and bigotry to his purpose, exceptionally unscrupulous in appealing to those baser motives that turn a meeting of citizens into a mob of barbarians, he should yet have won his case before a jury of the people.” 2An understanding of public opinion was indeed central to Mr. Lincoln’s political skills. Lincoln scholars Kenneth L. Deutsch and Joseph R. Fornieri wrote: “Never above the fray of political conflicts, the mature Lincoln was a prodigious political manipulator. David Donald has amply demonstrated that despite Lincoln’s many failures with the press, the politicians, and even the public, ‘he was nevertheless a successful politician.’ Adroitly exercising political skills, Lincoln ‘gained the opportunity of becoming a superb statesman.’ Rejecting dogmatic positions, using self-deprecating humor and ribald storytelling, making friends of potential adversaries, and showing his capacity to suffer for the entire nation all contributed to his distinctive political leadership. But far more important to the emergence of that leadership were his great ambition and native intelligence.” 3In managing public opinion, Mr. Lincoln never played the demagogue."

Lincoln was the first member of the recently-established Republican Party elected to the presidency. He was succeeded by Vice President Andrew Johnson. Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. Lincoln took office following the 1860 presidential election, in which he won a plurality of the popular vote in a four-candidate field. Almost all of Lincoln's votes came from the Northern United States, as the Republicans held little appeal to voters in the Southern United States. A former Whig, Lincoln ran on a political platform opposed to the expansion of slavery in the territories. His election served as the immediate impetus for the outbreak of the American Civil War. During the 16 weeks between Election Day and Inauguration Day, seven slave states declared their secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. After being sworn in as president, Lincoln refused to accept any resolution that would result in Southern secession from the Union."

"text": "April 10, 2011Lonnie Bunch Founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture The notion that Abraham Lincoln purposely provoked the Civil War by attempting to resupply Fort Sumter in April 1861 became a cornerstone of the reinterpretation of the Civil War after the defeat of the Confederacy in 1865. Most notably, the memoirs of the president and vice president of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis and Alexander H. Stephens, argued that Lincoln wanted war and maneuvered the Confederacy into a position where it had no choice but to attack the garrison commanded by Maj. Robert Anderson. How Lincoln responded to the first crisis of his administration reveals a great deal about the newly inaugurated president’s political skills and the complex issues he faced during the secession crisis. One of Lincoln’s aims was to prevent the Border States from leaving the Union. He knew that if the Union undertook military action, it would be seen as the aggressor and as the initiator of a war between the states. Lincoln also worried that England or France might recognize the nascent Confederacy, especially if it was attacked by Northern forces. While Lincoln hoped to avoid war, he knew that if it came, it would be better for the Union to be seen as responding to Southern aggression. As Lincoln realized the growing need to resupply the soldiers at Fort Sumter, he faced several choices. He could abandon the fort, but that would give legitimacy to the Southern states’ claim that they were no longer part of the Union."

Expand your knowledge and appreciation of Lincoln's legacy with these amazing facts. Fact #1: The young Abraham Lincoln described himself as “a piece of floating driftwood. ”The second child of Thomas and Nancy Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a one-room log cabin. In Abraham’s youth the family moved frequently, trying to stay one step ahead of financial trouble and illness, before eventually settling down in Coles County, Illinois. Along the way, Lincoln became known for his physical strength as well as his formidable self-education. At the age of 21, he left home and canoed to New Salem, Illinois, where he signed on to a local riverboat firm. After a short stint on the western rivers, a shorter stint as manager of a general store, and service as a militia captain during the Black Hawk Wars, he made his first run for a seat on the Illinois General Assembly, which he lost. In 1834, he won his second General Assembly election and served four terms as a member of the Whig Party while taking up the practice of law in Springfield. In 1842, after a two-year engagement marked by one cancelled wedding, Lincoln married a 23-year old woman named Mary Todd."

Lincoln, Abraham ( 12 February 1809–15 April 1865 ), sixteenth president of the United States, was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, the son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, farmers. Thomas Lincoln had come to Kentucky from Virginia with his father Abraham in 1782. He acquired only enough literacy to sign his name but gained modest prosperity as a carpenter and farmer on the Kentucky frontier. He married Nancy Hanks, also illiterate, in 1806. Abraham was born in a log cabin on “Sinking Spring Farm” three miles south of Hodgenville. When he was two years old the family moved to another farm on Knob Creek about seven miles northeast of Hodgenville. On this farm of 230 acres (only thirty of which were tillable) Abraham lived for five years, helped his parents with chores, and learned his ABCs by attending school for a few weeks with his older sister Sarah. In December 1816 the Lincolns again moved, this time to the newly admitted state of Indiana. The tradition that the Lincolns moved because of dislike of slavery may have some truth; they belonged to a Baptist denomination that broke from the parent church on the slavery issue."

The struggle between Lincoln and Douglas was a struggle of values and public policy that had an lasting impact on the country.

Beginning in the 1830s, Mr. Lincoln faced off against Douglas in courtrooms, in the legislature, and in debate. Lincoln law partner William P.

Aspen’s billionaires came to their fortunes in many ways. They are tech wizards, oil and gas tycoons, real estate moguls, financiers, and producers of everyday stuff. Their collective net worth totals more than $335 billion, and the value of their real estate in the Aspen area is at least $750 million. And many of them have grown substantially richer of late. ( Also see, from 2012) “ The Aspen 50 – Forbes billionaires in Pitkin County .”)Aspen’s wealthiest men and the world’s sixth richest, brothers Charles and David Koch, for example, are worth $6 billion more than they were a year ago — and a mind-boggling $17 billion more than in 2012. Each of their fortunes, at $41.6 billion, is greater than the GDP of more than half of the world’s countries. While many fly well below the local radar, most of these billionaires do have an impact on Aspen, through their investments in luxury estates and their often-generous donations to local nonprofits. On the other hand, the second-home industry and escalating property values have replaced once vibrant Aspen neighborhoods with blocks of large, lifeless houses; marred once-pristine landscapes; exacerbated traffic congestion, and pollution; and driven many locals down or out of the valley. Moneyed power is often blamed for Aspen’s growth struggles, and some locals feel that wealth culture has become the dominant culture in Aspen."

"text": "\"A number of compelling but unsubstantiated reports over recent years have suggested that Russian president Vladimir Putin has secretly amassed a personal fortune of as much as $200 billion, far greater than the personal wealth of Microsoft Corp. ( MSFT) co-founder Bill Gates who currently sits at the top of the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires with a net worth of $77 billion. In this article we’ll review some of the sources supporting the notion that Putin could unofficially be the richest man in the world. Shares in Oil and Gas Companies Political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky has claimed that Putin could be worth as much as $70 billion, with shares in major oil and gas companies including a 4.5% stake of national gas giant Gazprom and 37% of oil supplier Surgutneftegas. Belkovsky alleges that while Putin's name does not appear as a shareholder, his holdings are concealed behind a non-transparent chain of offshore companies and funds. Putin defenders point out that there is no clear evidence that Putin actually owns stakes in Surgutneftegaz or Gazprom and that many reports of Putin’s wealth hang on the single unproven assertions of Belkovsky. Palace, Yacht and Watches Often painted in the press as a modern day Tsar, Vladimir Putin is rumoured to own a $35 million yacht named Olympia, a billion dollar palace on Russia's Black Sea coast and an extravagant watch collection including a Tourbograph watch made by A Lange & Sohne worth over a half million dollars. The 57-metre Olympia yacht was reportedly a gift from the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Dmitry Skarga is a former Kremlin employee living in the UK who claims to have managed the yacht. In a BBC Panorama documentary called Putin’s Secret Riches, Skarga said that while the yacht had been given to an offshore company, the real owner was Putin and that it was maintained using state funds. The Kremlin strenuously denies the allegations and press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated: “the contents of this BBC film, this is a pure fiction and libel, which has no grounds whatsoever."

Business 3/29/2013 @ 10:31AM 696,483 views The Most Expensive Billionaire Homes In The World The World's Most Expensive Billionaire Homes Steven Cohen has been garnering headlines, thanks to insider trading charges at his hedge fund SAC and rumors that he paid a record sum for a Picasso painting. But Cohen has also reportedly plunked down $60 million for an oceanfront property in the Long Island, N. Y., community of East Hampton, according to the New York Times. The billionaire investor, who already owns an $18 million Hamptons estate down the street and a 35,000-square foot main residence in tony Greenwich, Conn., is also said to be selling a duplex apartment in New York City’s Bloomberg Tower. The price tag: $115 million. When Cohen officially closes on the Hamptons property, it will be notable, but if he manages to sell his Manhattan spread for even remotely close to its nine-figure asking price, it will record-breaking, joining the outrageously lofty ranks of the world’s most expensive billionaire real estate. Using Forbes’ recently released 2013 list of the World’s Billionaires, we dug through property records, tax assessments, sales prices, construction costs and in some cases, real estate listings, to uncover the priciest billionaire homes in the world. Billionaires have been trading multimillion-dollar real estate with tremendous zeal in recent years, slapping down record sums for trophy homes while quietly floating other properties in their portfolios through brokers in unofficial, off-market offerings. While the downturn paused activity in the super luxury end of the market, high net-worth buyers started fresh buying sprees in late 2010, trolling for high-end trophy property ‘bargains’ selling at markedly lower prices than their housing bubble heights or parking investment cash in prized pied-a-terres tucked inside the world’s most exclusive buildings. In fact, billionaire buying activity in the super luxury end of the world’s most expensive housing markets has been, according to a recent report from Savills, “so intense over the last seven years that it has led to a doubling of property values in this [super luxury housing] sector."

He is a renowned Russian businessman who is the 9th richest person in Russia with a net worth of US 13.4 billion dollars. He is a self made billionaire though he has been accused of using illegal means to amass his wealth. However, no one can dispute his passion for football. He has made considerable investments in the game and his commitment to the cause is well respected all around the world. He acquired the Barclays Premier League club Chelsea in the year 2003 with the vision of raising it to the status of being one of the greatest clubs in the world like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United. Immediately after acquiring the club, Roman Abramovich proved his commitment to the club by initiating a process directed towards elevating the stature of the club of Chelsea. He invested a considerable amount of money for signing new players, to build a new training facility, to bring in top level coaches, and to help the club to achieve unparalleled success. This meant that Chelsea suffered major losses in their first year under him that were so high that it was expected that it would not be before 2010 that they would be able to report profits. However, the increase in the sale of Chelsea Tickets with their improved performance and the funds contributed by their owner has been a major alleviating factor for the club."

"text": "\"Ivanka Trump Socializes with Old Friend Wendi Deng, Putin Rumors Intensify Ivanka Trump met up with Wendi Deng Murdoch, but the two are old friends and the latter denies she's ever met Vladimir Putin, much less is dating the Russian president. By Kim La Capria 15 August 2016119Against the backdrop of persistent rumors of a connection between Donald Trump and Russian operatives (including Russian president Vladimir Putin), in August 2016 a rumor began circulating that Trump’s daughter Ivanka was vacationing with none other than Putin’s girlfriend, Wendi Deng Murdoch: In a vacuum, the claim sounded quite scandalous. The often inaccurate site Occupy Democrats published a piece titled “Trump’s Daughter and Putin’s Girlfriend Just Went on Vacation Together,” intimating the women’s camaraderie was something that had just been uncovered. Surprise, surprise! Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and the ex-wife of Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch and current girlfriend of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, Wendi Deng Murdoch, are best buddies who just went on a lavish vacation together. Might that explain Fox News’s unbelievably slanted favorability towards Trump’s despicable brand of politics? Could you imagine the outrage by Republicans if one of President Obama’s daughters were hanging around with Putin’s girlfriend? Elided from the breathless rumors was any sort of background. Deng and Ivanka Trump are longtime pals, as evidenced by a 2014 Daily Mail article (which antedated Trump’s announcement of his candidacy by more than a year) that pictured them together and described the pair as “close friends”: [T]he pair are indeed close friends and spent most of the evening chatting to each other. Ivanka had close ties with Wendi when she was married to publisher Rupert, even joining them for a trip to Jordan to meet with Queen Rania in 2011."

That’s not the case for the mega wealthy out there, who not only rent yachts, but also buy them and sail around on their month-long holidays. The yachts cost serious cash – in fact, you could probably rebuild the Greek economy or buy yourself a sports team with the eye-watering amounts that get spent on them. With that in mind, we’ve taken a look at 10 most expensive ones, so from 10 to one, here is the countdown of the biggest and best luxury yachts out there:liveyachting.com10) The Rising Sun – $200million The tenth yacht on the list cost a whopping $200 million – small change for owner David Geffen, who can now boast having 82 rooms over five floors, a basketball court, a movie theatre and a wine cellar – among many other things.fastlifeluxury.com9) Seven Seas – $200million Just beating The Rising Sun, this yacht has seven suites that can also double as cabins, and transport 12 people on the cruise of a lifetime. Of course it comes with the standard things like a cinema, infinity pool, gym and helipad, because what self-respecting yacht that costs roughly the GDP of a third world country doesn’t?eluxury.com8) Lady Moura – $210million Owned by billionaire Nassar Al-Rashid, the yacht has 24 karat gold lettering and embellishments. It can also accommodate a massive 30 guests and 60 crew members, with it being the ninth largest personal yacht in the world when made – but now stands at number 28 in the list.7) Al Mirqab – $250million Given it’s owned by the Prime Minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabar Al Thani, you’d expect it to be pretty decent. It contains 10 bedrooms, a helipad, swimming pool and a section of VIP suites as well, just for the owner.teureyacht.de6) Dilbar – $263million It’s about time a Russian billionaire came into the mix, and Alisher Usmanov comes in at number six, with a yacht that takes a crew of 47 to run it. It’s also one of the largest yachts in the world, standing at 360ft long and 50ft high.charterworld.com5) Al Said – $300million Named after owner Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said of Oman, the super-yacht even has a concert hall that can accommodate a large orchestra, because who doesn’t enjoy listening to a symphony while sailing the seven seas? It reaches 22 knots, has a crew of 154, and accommodates 70 people.4) Superyacht A – $323million Looking more like a ship you would expect a Bond villain to have, the Russian billionaire-owned vessel has three swimming pools and a master suite that can accommodate six guests. It also has two other boats on board, that you can go back to shore on.liveyachting.com3) Dubai – $350million For that much money, you have to expect something pretty impressive, and with the Dubai, you certainly get it."

What do Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Steven Spielberg have in common? Besides being fabulously wealthy, they’re also on an elite list of the world’s few superyacht owners. It’s no secret that superyachts are, well, expensive. The world’s largest private vessel, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s Azzam, reaches an astounding 180 meters (590 feet) and cost $600 million to build. In fact, eight of the ten most expensive luxury acquisitions of all time fall under the superyacht category. And while a superyacht alone can cost tens — or sometimes, as in the case of the Azzam , hundreds — of millions of dollars, the annual upkeep costs can also reach into the seven figures, according to a report by Towergate Insurance. So just how much does a superyacht cost? The reports finds that on average, a 100-meter superyacht with a top speed of 25 knots and 50 crew members should cost around $275 million."

Curing cold sores is difficult if not next to impossible and no treatment works for everyone. For example one person will have good results with a cold sore home remedy while another person will not. One cold sore home remedy is to try and dry out the sore. Another approach is to keep the sore moist and deprive it of oxygen. And still a third is to dry out the sore and then keep it moist. There are many cold sore home remedy methods using normal household supplies that do not fall into the above three categories. DRYING OUT THE SOREThe method of drying out the sore involves applying some sort of astringent to the site. There are many different products that accomplish this. Most of them contain alcohol or a solvent that dries out the skin."

Share this conversation Answered in 8 minutes by: 10/6/2009Doctor: Dr Wu Hi, Thank you for submitting your question. Clotrim-beta cream contains a combination of clotrimazole (anti-fungal) and betamethasone (a topical steroid). Applying steroid-containing cream on a herpes lesion can potentially make it worse. As you know, herpes lesions are caused by the herpes virus. If you apply a steroid cream on the lesion, initially the swelling will decrease. However, since steroid creams suppress the body's immune system, the lesions/sores may spread or take longer to heal. One option is to combine a steroid cream with an oral antiviral medication. I would not recommend using a steroid cream with abreva, which is a very weak antiviral ointment."

We’ll explain how to get through your next cold sore with the proper treatment—and share essential tips so you can quickly minimize outbreaks. Cold Sore Facts Even though most people know what cold sores look like, the details of what they really are and how to treat them are clouded by myths and confusion. First and foremost, cold sores have nothing to do with colds or any other illness. Rather, cold sores are caused by one of two herpes viruses known as HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both types of herpes virus can happen “above the belt” (around or in the mouth, the nose and chin), or “below the belt” (on genitals). However, herpes-1 tends to occur more frequently around the mouth and herpes-2 more frequently on the genitals. There’s no way to tell what type of herpes virus you have without a medical test. The number of people who have herpes is quite astounding. Some researchers would say 90% of the population is affected with one type or the other."

Let’s get over the fact they’re caused by the herpes virus. We all know it, and that aspect gets far too much attention. Defining cold sores simply for what they are, they are small, fluid filled lesions that pop up generally on or around your lips. The blisters often group together, and after they break, a crust forms over the resulting sore. There is no true cure for the virus, or the cold sores. The bright side is that there are preventative measures you can take that lessen outbreaks, severity, and duration. If the bothersome blisters do show up, there are a decent number of home remedies for cold sores that may ease your discomfort, and help diminish their appearance. Just because there is no cure, doesn’t mean you’re stuck using irritating prescription face creams or having a cold sore that hangs around for an eternity.1."

Some creams and ointments have antiseptic properties like Abreva and the herb Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis).

Is it just a few simple pimples? Did the hairs become ingrown or infected from shaving? Could it be herpes? How can you tell the difference? This can lead to an extensive amount of googling to try and figure out, but instead of searching high and low here is some information to try and help work it out. These three kinds of bumps can look strikingly similar to each other, but mean vastly different things. Pimples and ingrown or infected hairs are easily treatable, but herpes can be much more serious and infinitely more difficult to treat. However, by matching the symptoms and looks below, you can fairly accurately deduce if you can treat it at home or need to go get more specialized tests done by a doctor."

Commonly known as \"\"cold sores\"\" or \"\"fever blisters,\"\" RHL typically manifests through reactivation of initial exposure to HSV-1, often triggered by stimuli such as sunlight, stress, menses, or trauma to the affected area. 1 The seroprevalence of HSV-1 in the United States has been estimated at 57.7% in those aged 14 to 49 years, and RHL has been found to affect 32.9% of the population. 2,3Viral Origin and Pathology of the Cold Sore The most common form of HSV-1 infection is primary gingivostomatitis; however, only about 1% of those exposed to HSV-1 develop clinical symptoms of primary gingivostomatitis. 4 The infection may be subclinical in nature, and symptoms may be overlooked. 4 Primary infection usually occurs in preschool or kindergarten-aged children, adolescents, and young adults, then re-expresses as cold sores throughout adulthood. 5 Viral shedding is greatest during the primary infection, though the quantity of viral shedding appears to have no correlation to the severity of the attack. 6 Patients experiencing primary infection may present with fever, malaise, loss of appetite, or multiple intraoral vesicles that burst, leaving painful ulceration. Because of the pain associated with swallowing, children especially may become dehydrated. 5 Recurrences are typically less severe than the primary infection."

Related to abrogation: prowling, reassemble, resulting Abrogation The destruction or annulling of a former law by an act of the legislative power, by constitutionalauthority, or by usage. It stands opposed to rogation; and is distinguished from derogation, whichimplies the taking away of only some part of a law; from Subrogation, which denotes thesubstitution of a clause; from dispensation, which only sets it aside in a particular instance; andfrom antiquation, which is the refusing to pass a law. For example, the abrogation of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibitedthe manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors, was accomplished by the enactment of the Twenty-First Amendment. Implied abrogation takes place when a new law contains provisions that arepositively contrary to a former law, without expressly abrogating such laws, or when the order of things for which the law has been made no longer exists.

"text": "Delegation Doctrine Law and Legal Definition The Delegation doctrine is a principle limiting Congress's ability to transfer its legislative power to another governmental branch, especially the executive branch. This is based on the separation-of-powers concept. It says that the power to declare whether or not there shall be a law, to determine the general policy to be achieved by the law, and to fix the limits within the limits within which the law shall operate is vested by the constitution in the legislature and it shall not be delegated. Therefore any statute conferring excessive legislative power is invalid because it is unconstitutional to delegate powers. Delegation is permitted only if Congress prescribes clear and adequate standards to guide an executive agency in making the policy. All states whose constitutions contain a separation of powers doctrine have adopted some version of the delegation doctrine, which permits the legislature to delegate the administration of the law, to non legislative entities, such as administrative agencies. Thus, the delegation doctrine allows the legislature to focus on the fundamentals of a law leaving to the agencies the task of filling in the gaps by promulgating rules to administer the law. However, if legislation does not provide adequate standards for the agency charged with the task of filling in the legislative gaps, courts can invalidate the legislation.

"text": "\"Is the New Mass legit? You are here: Home Pope Paul VI published on April 3, 1969 the Apostolic Constitution, Missale Romanum that supposedly promulgated the Novus Ordo Missae; but was this a legitimate act? Universae Ecclesiae is the name of a recent Instruction which provides some precious clarifications on the four-year-old Summorum Pontificum, which signaled the liberation of the Mass of All Time. The pope’s intention is that the Mass may receive “full citizenship” in the Church today, and not be ostracized as it has been in the last four years by the diktat of omnipotent episcopal conferences which reveal a rather loose conception of Catholic obedience. Time will tell whether they will toe the Roman line or do as they have done so far. Here we would like to expand only on #19 which states: The faithful who ask for the celebration of the forma extraordinaria must not in any way support or belong to groups which show themselves to be against the validity or legitimacy of the Holy Mass or the Sacraments celebrated in the forma ordinaria or against the Roman Pontiff as Supreme Pastor of the Universal Church. \"\" By so doing, the Instruction attacks any group of faithful doctrinally attached to the Mass of All Time even if they recognize in principle that the New Mass is valid. There may be nothing new under the Roman sun, but this document affords us the chance to go over the reasons why Archbishop Lefebvre always contested the legitimacy of the liturgical revolution of 1969. We will show this in three ways, of increasing importance: the legal aspect, the historical context, and the dogmatic context. A. The legality of the New Mass A law is legitimate only when it is duly promulgated by the lawfully constituted authority."

This is an exception to the dormant commerce clause principle, which prohibits a state from passing legislation that improperly burdens or discriminates against interstate commerce. If the state participates in the market instead of regulating it, the dormant commerce clause analysis does not apply, and the state activity will generally stand. The Supreme Court introduced the market participant doctrine in Hughes v. Alexandria Scrap Corp., 426 U. S. 794 (U. S. 1976), which upheld a Maryland program that offered bounties to scrap processors to destroy abandoned automobile hulks. The court held that “ the commerce clause of the Constitution (Art I, 8, cl 3) does not require independent justification for a state's entry into the market as a purchaser, in effect, of a potential article of interstate commerce, although the state restricts its trade to its own citizens or businesses within the state; nothing in the purposes animating the commerce clause forbids a state, in the absence of congressional action, from participating in the market and exercising the right to favor its own citizens over others. ”Legal Definition list Market-Out Clause [Oil and Gas]Market-Making Market Value Added Market Value Market Vacancy Market-Participant Doctrine Market-Recovery Program Market-Share Theory Marketable Securities Marketable Security Marketable Title Related Legal Terms Abrogation Doctrine Abstention Doctrine Abuse-of-the-Writ Doctrine Accardi Doctrine Acceptance Doctrine Accepted Work Doctrine Acquired-Rights Doctrine Act-of-State Doctrine Ad Coelum Doctrine Adequate-State-Grounds Doctrine"

"text": "\"The First Trade and Intercourse Act (1790)LEGAL BASIS FOR NATIVE AMERICAN CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION: OVERVIEW OF INDIAN TREATIES AND TREATY RIGHTS, PAST AND PRESENTWhen Europeans first established colonies in America, they had little choice but to deal with the Indian tribes as the independent nations that they were. Terms of peace and exchanges of land were accordingly accomplished by treaty between the colonial governments, and the tribes. After the Revolution, the federal government continued to deal with the tribes by treaty, although it also regulated various aspects of Indian affairs by statute. From the first treaty with the Delawares in 1787 until the end of treaty-making in 1871, hundreds of agreements were entered between the federal government and various bands and tribes of Indians. Treaty provisions differed widely, but it was common to include a guarantee of peace, a delineation of boundaries (often with a cession of specific lands from the tribe to the federal government), a guarantee for Indian hunting and fishing rights (often applying to the ceded land), a statement that the tribe recognized the authority or placed itself under the protection of the United States, an agreement regarding the regulation of trade and travel of persons in the Indian territory, and a provision for punishment of crimes between Indians and non-Indians. Even when the tribes possessed some bargaining power, the treaty-making process put them at a disadvantage. Treaties were written in English and their terms were often explained inexactly or incorrectly, to the Indian signatories. The very concepts of land ownership and governmental relations embodied in the treaties were often wholly foreign to the tribal cultures. Moreover, the federal government frequently negotiated with individuals whom it had selected and who were not the traditional leaders of the concerned tribes. All of these factors contributed to overreaching on the part of the federal government."

This was recognized as an exception to the final-judgment rule but the doctrine was later limited by the U. S. Supreme Court in Coopers & Lybrand v. Livesay, 437 U. S. 463 (U. S. 1978) where the court held that the fact that an interlocutory order might induce a party to abandon his claim before final judgment was not a sufficient reason for considering it a \"\"final decision.\"\" However the doctrine is still applicable in some contexts. For example, the doctrine allows an immediate appeal of the denial of a temporary restraining order when the lack of an appeal would leave nothing to be considered in the trial court. [ Woratzeck v.

Mut'ah is a type of marriage, used in the same way as a permanent marriage (Nikah) in order to make a man and woman physically HALAL to each other. It is a FIXED-TIME marriage which, according to the schools of Shari‘a (Islamic law), is a marriage with a preset duration. After this period expires, the marriage is automatically dissolved. Mut'ah has many Shari'a rules / regulations . Similar rules that apply for Nikah apply for Mut'ah - if certain types of women are haram for a man to contract Nikah then the same rule applies with Mut'ah. A man cannot contract Mut'ah with a married woman, as is the case with a normal marriage. A woman cannot enter into Mut'ah marriage, till the time she has become pure by observing the 'iddah (waiting period) from her earlier husband; just like in Nikah. Also, the same principle/rights apply - two people cannot contract Mut'ah with the same woman at one given time After expiration of Mut'ah marriage, again she has to observe 'iddah, before getting married (either Nikah or Mut'ah) to any other person. There is no difference between the children of Nikah or Mut'ah."

"text": "Polyhydramnios Aug 16, 2013 | Health Conditions Polyhydramnios Definition Polyhydramnios is an abnormal condition occurring in pregnancy, characterized by excessive amniotic fluid build-up (the fluid surrounding the baby in the uterus) [1]. It is the opposite of oligohydramnios (extremely low amniotic fluid levels). Apart from protecting the baby from any external impact by providing a cushioning effect, the clear or slightly yellowish fluid plays a vital role in proper fetal development as well. But, increased levels of the fluid can cause various complications during different stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Polyhydramnios Classification1.) Chronic polyhydramnios : Characterized by gradual accumulation of amniotic fluid 2.) Acute polyhydramnios : Characterized by sudden and rapid accumulation of amniotic fluid What Causes Polyhydramnios? Around 50% of the cases are idiopathic [2], with experts still trying to find out the responsible causes. The known causes and risk factors include: Fetal Causes Fetal Abnormalities [2]: Fetal anomalies such as hydrocephaly, anencephaly, esophageal atresia, fetal kidney problems, duodenal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, skeletal dysplasias, spina bifida and diaphragmatic hernia that can hamper the baby’s ability of swallowing and processing the amniotic fluid properly Fetal Anemia : RBC (red blood cells) deficiency in the baby Hydrops Fetalis (fluid accumulation or edema in two or more fetal compartments)Chromosomal Abnormalities [3]: Inheriting abnormal chromosomes responsible for genetic disorders like Down’s syndrome and Edwards’ syndrome Fetal macrosomia (having a baby too large for the gestational age)Placental Causes Twin-to-Twin Transfusion [4]: An abnormal condition occurring when carrying identical twins, in which one twin receives excessive amounts of amniotic fluid while the other has little Placental Blood Vessel Abnormality : Abnormal blood vessel growth on the placenta (chorioangioma) [5]Maternal Causes Infectious Conditions : Toxoplasmosis [2], parvovirus, herpes simplex, rubella or cytomegalovirus infections affecting the mother may also reach the fetus, causing various abnormalities Maternal Diabetes Mellitus (gestational or pre-existing) : Abnormal blood sugar levels in the mother may lead the baby to produce excessive urine that increases the amniotic fluid volume [3]Maternal Rhesus Disease : Rhesus disease causes the mother’s antibodies to cross the placenta, often resulting in fetal anemia – one of the principal causes of Polyhydramnios Blood incompatibilities between the mother and the baby [4]Hypertension Pre-eclampsia What are the Symptoms of Polyhydramnios? Mild cases of polyhydramnios may not cause any noticeable signs in the mother [6]. However, severe cases can lead to the following symptoms: Difficulty breathing unless standing or sitting in an upright position [7]Difficulty climbing stairs Decreased urine production Larger belly size for one’s gestational age Swelling of the abdominal wall, vulva and legs Excessive weight gain [13]Polyhydramnios may be suspected by the doctor in case it seems difficult to assess the body contours and heart beat of the baby despite an enlarged size of the uterus. Excessive amounts of amniotic fluid in the uterus tend to worsen certain pregnancy symptoms, such as: Indigestion [3]Constipation Abdominal pain Heartburn Stretch marks Varicose veins [3] (when the valves within the veins stop working, causing the venous walls to become weak, leading to blood accumulation in the weak spots)What Problems are Likely to Result from Polyhydramnios?"

Placenta abruptio is a pregnancy problem in which the placenta separates too early from the wall of the uterus. The placenta is a round, flat organ that forms during pregnancy. It gives the baby food and oxygen from the mother. In a normal pregnancy, the placenta stays firmly attached to the inside wall of the uterus until after the baby is born. In placenta abruptio, the placenta breaks away (abrupts) from the wall of the uterus too early, before the baby is born. Placenta abruptio can be very harmful. In rare cases, it can be deadly. The baby may be born too early ( premature) or at a low birth weight. The mother may lose a lot of blood."

Without knowledge gained by prenatal diagnosis, there could be an untoward outcome for the fetus or the mother or both. congenital anomalies account for 20 to 25% of perinatal deaths. Specifically, prenatal diagnosis is helpful for: Managing the remaining weeks of the pregnancy Determining the outcome of the pregnancy Planning for possible complications with the birth process Planning for problems that may occur in the newborn infant Deciding whether to continue the pregnancy Finding conditions that may affect future pregnancies There are a variety of non-invasive and invasive techniques available for prenatal diagnosis. Each of them can be applied only during specific time periods during the pregnancy for greatest utility. The techniques employed for prenatal diagnosis include: Ultrasonography Amniocentesis Chorionic villus sampling Fetal blood cells in maternal blood Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein Maternal serum beta-HCGMaternal serum unconjugated estriol Pregnancy-associated plasma protein AInhibin AUltrasonography This is a non-invasive procedure that is harmless to both the fetus and the mother. High frequency sound waves are utilized to produce visible images from the pattern of the echos made by different tissues and organs, including the baby in the amniotic cavity. The developing embryo can first be visualized at about 6 weeks gestation. Recognition of the major internal organs and extremities to determine if any are abnormal can best be accomplished between 16 to 20 weeks gestation. Although an ultrasound examination can be quite useful to determine the size and position of the fetus, the size and position of the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid, and the appearance of fetal anatomy, there are limitations to this procedure."

"text": "\"Placental abruption Dr Dan J Bell ◉ and Radswiki et al. Placental abruption refers to a premature separation of the normally implanted placenta after the 20 th week of gestation and before the 3 rd stage of labour. It is a potentially fatal complication of pregnancy and is a significant cause of third-trimester bleeding / antepartum haemorrhage. Epidemiology The estimated incidence is ~1% of all pregnancies. The rate of placental abruption is thought to have dramatically increased in the past few years. Risk factors A number of risk factors have been associated with placental abruption, including:maternal traumaage 35 years or oldercigarette smokingcocaine usethrombophiliaprevious placental abruptionchorioamnionitisprolonged rupture of membranespre-eclampsia and maternal hypertension: up to 50% of casesshort umbilical cordincreased parity Clinical presentation Patients with a placental abruption typically present with antepartum bleeding, uterine contractions, and fetal distress. Pathology The exact aetiology is unknown, but the final pathophysiology is likely rupture of a spiral artery with haemorrhage into the decidua basalis leading to separation of the placenta. The small vessel disease seen in abruptio placentae may also result in placental infarction. Location According to the position of the abruption within the placenta it can be classified as:marginal placental abruption: most common by farretroplacental abruptionpreplacental abruption Radiographic features Ultrasound Ultrasound is almost always the first (and usually the only) imaging modality used to evaluate placental abruption, but an index of suspicion should be maintained for the diagnosis since ultrasound is relatively insensitive for the diagnosis 9. This is partly because a retroplacental haematoma may be identified only in 2-25% of all abruptions."

"text": "Brown Spotting during Pregnancy Brown spotting or bleeding is common for pregnant women. Brown spotting could be a sign of miscarriage or may even result from a condition that is unrelated to the pregnancy. It is advisable to seek medical attention for any brown spotting that doesn't fit the criteria of implantation bleeding. Brown spotting during pregnancy that is associated with symptoms such as abdominal pain and cramping requires emergency medical attention. Considering brown spotting a result of 'old' bleeding is wrong and even fresh bleeding might also result in brown spotting if it is first seen a few hours after bleeding. Any brown spotting that is not implantation bleeding warrants evaluation. Presence of other symptoms including cramping, abdominal pain, dizziness, fainting, and fever require emergency medical attention as they indicate a serious underlying condition. Management of the brown spotting depends on its cause and the duration of the pregnancy. The most common causes of brown spotting during pregnancy are listed in the table below.

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and can range from bed rest to emergency cesarean section. References Francois KE, Foley MR. Antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage.

"text": "What is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)? DIC presents in a very ill patient as bleeding into the skin ( purpura) and other tissues. It arises as a complication of different serious and life-threatening diseases. It covers the continuum of events that occur in the coagulation pathway. Initially there is uncontrolled activation of clotting factors in the blood vessels, causing clotting of blood throughout the whole body. This depletes the body of its platelets and coagulation factors and results in a paradoxical increased risk of bleeding (haemorrhaging). Hence, patients with DIC have a loss of balance between the clot-forming activity of thrombin (enzyme that causes blood to clot) and the clot-lysing activity of plasmin (enzyme that dissolves blood clots). DIC is not a specific diagnosis and its presence always indicates another underlying disease. Classification of DICThere are two clinical forms of DIC, acute DIC and chronic DIC. Acute DIC is a haemorrhagic disorder characterised by multiple bruises ( ecchymoses ), bleeding from mucosal sites (such as lips and genitals) and depletion of platelets and clotting factors in the blood."

"text": "Cirumvallate Placenta Page Links: Definition, Outcome, Screening, References Definition Circumvallate placenta refers to a thickened marginal rim of tissue around the chorionic (fetal) surface of the placenta forming a “wall,” which is composed of amnion, chorion, decidua and fibrin. The overall incidence is in the range of 1% to 2%. The appearance on 2-D ultrasound is unique in that the margins of the tissue rim are curled toward the cord insertion site and become echogenic with advancing gestational age. Outcome Adverse pregnancy outcomes [ 1], [ 2] have been reported for circumvallate placenta and include [1], [2] : abruptio placenta (odds ration = 13.1), threatened abortion, fetal hypoxia, intrauterine growth retardation, premature delivery, oligohydramnios, non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns, and intrauterine fetal death. Many adverse outcomes are difficult to quantify. A part of the spectrum of circumvallate placenta is the amniotic “sheet” and “shelf.” Amniotic sheets are the result of uterine synechiae that are encompassed by the expanding chorion and amnion [ 3], and they rarely persist to the third trimester. [ 4]The issue is whether the amniotic sheet or shelf is benign. In one study, the completeness of the sheet is the determining factor for morbidity. A complete amniotic sheet (closed) was associated with intrauterine death due to umbilical cord accidents."

"text": "\"placental abruption (redirected from Abruptia placenta)Placental Abruption Definition Placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus prior to thebirth of the baby. This can result in severe, uncontrollable bleeding (hemorrhage). Description The uterus is the muscular organ that contains the developing baby during pregnancy. Thelowest segment of the uterus is a narrowed portion called the cervix. This cervix has an opening (the os) that leads into the vagina, or birth canal. The placenta is the organ that attaches to thewall of the uterus during pregnancy. The placenta allows nutrients and oxygen from the mother'sblood circulation to pass into the developing baby (the fetus) via the umbilical cord. During labor, the muscles of the uterus contract repeatedly. This allows the cervix to begin to grow thinner (called effacement) and more open (dilatation). Eventually, the cervix will becomecompletely effaced and dilated, and the baby can leave the uterus and enter the birth canal."

Patients with abruptio placentae, also called placental abruption, typically present with bleeding, uterine contractions, and fetal distress. A significant cause of third-trimester bleeding associated with fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality, placental abruption must be considered whenever bleeding is encountered in the second half of pregnancy.

CONSUMERS: Click here for the Consumer Version Rupture of membranes before onset of labor is considered premature. Diagnosis is clinical. Delivery is recommended when gestational age is ≥ 34 wk and is generally indicated for infection or fetal compromise regardless of gestational age. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) may occur at term ( ≥ 37 wk) or earlier (called preterm PROM if < 37 wk). Preterm PROM predisposes to preterm delivery. PROM at any time increases risk of infection in the woman ( chorioamnionitis ), neonate ( sepsis ), or both, as well as risk of abnormal fetal presentation and abruptio placentae. Group B streptococci and Escherichia coli are common causes of infection. Other organisms in the vagina may also cause infection. PROM can increase risk of intraventricular hemorrhage in neonates; intraventricular hemorrhage may result in neurodevelopmental disability (eg, cerebral palsy)."

Image by Sigrid de Rooij,Wikimedia Commons As a follow-up to Cesarean Awareness Month last month, we are talking about late complications from cesareans. A cesarean section is surgery, and thus entails the usual immediate risks associated with surgery, including infection, hemorrhage, anesthesia problems, blood clots, and accidental damage to surrounding tissues. These alone are substantial enough to warrant concern with the current high cesarean rate. However, what many people don't realize is that a cesarean also has downstream health implications, long after the cesarean is over, particularly in women who have further pregnancies after the cesarean (s). In particular, the risk for abnormal placentation rises with each successive cesarean. And abnormal placentation has a high risk for poor outcomes. Today we are going to discuss the most common of the complications, Placenta Previa. Placenta Previa Placenta Previa is the term for a placenta that lies over or near the cervix at the bottom of the uterus instead of on the top or sides of the uterus (see diagram).

"text": "\"Twins or More Reasons Why Twins and Multiples Are Born Early By Pamela Prindle Fierro Updated April 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print It's estimated that half of twins are born early, prior to 36 weeks gestation, which is almost a month before the standard 40 weeks gestation of a singleton baby. Triplets and other higher order multiples have an even greater chance of being born early. In some cases, the onset of preterm labor can not be halted, while in other situations, risks to the mother or babies require an early conclusion to the pregnancy. Here are some of the most common reasons why twins are born early. Preterm Labor Preterm labor in twin pregnancy. Tetra Images / Getty Images Early onset of labor is not uncommon in multiple pregnancies. Simply carrying multiple babies greatly increases the risk of preterm labor, so it's vital that expectant mothers of twins or more know the symptoms and seek appropriate medical care. Some of the complications and conditions described below can prompt the onset of labor, but sometimes the exact cause isn't clear. But regardless of the reason, when the uterus begins to contract and/or the cervix begins to open in preparation for birth, the result is preterm labor. In some cases, it can be suspended, but when it can not, the babies will be delivered prematurely and born early."

KESSLER, MD, and YAZEN JOUDEH, MD, University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois Am Fam Physician. 2010 Feb 15;81 (4):470-476. Poorly controlled hypertension is a common finding in the outpatient setting. When patients present with severely elevated blood pressure (i.e., systolic blood pressure of 180 mm Hg or greater, or diastolic blood pressure of 110 mm Hg or greater), physicians need to differentiate hypertensive emergency from severely elevated blood pressure without signs or symptoms of end-organ damage (severe asymptomatic hypertension). Most patients who are asymptomatic but have poorly controlled hypertension do not have acute end-organ damage and, therefore, do not require immediate workup or treatment (within 24 hours). However, physicians should confirm blood pressure readings and appropriately classify the hypertensive state. A cardiovascular risk profile is important in guiding the treatment of severe asymptomatic hypertension; higher risk patients may benefit from more urgent and aggressive evaluation and treatment. Oral agents may be initiated before discharge, but intravenous medications and fast-acting oral agents should be reserved for true hypertensive emergencies. High blood pressure should be treated gradually."

"text": "Aposiopesis Definition of Aposiopesis Aposiopesis is derived from a Greek word that means “becoming silent.” It is a rhetorical device that can be defined as a figure of speech in which the speaker or writer breaks off abruptly, and leaves the statement incomplete. It is as if the speaker is not willing to state what is present in his mind, due to being overcome by passion, excitement, or fear. In a piece of literature, it means to leave a sentence unfinished, so that the reader can determine his own meanings. Types of Aposiopesis Aposiopesis examples may be classified according to the following types: Emotive aposiopesis – This type of aposiopesis is used in conditions of conflict between emotional outbursts of a speaker, and an environment that does not react. Usually, the writer or speaker pauses in the middle of a sentence. Calculated aposiopesis – This type of aposiopesis is based on the conflict of missing thought and its opposing force that rejects the substance of that thought. Hence, the idea is removed that is explicitly expressed afterwards. Audience -respecting aposiopesis – It is based on the removal of thoughts which are unpleasant to the readers, or offensive to the audience. Transitio-aposiopesis – It removes the ideas from the end part of a speech in order to immediately get the audience interested in the subsequent section."

"text": "Drug Abuse Definition: The Difference between Abuse and Addiction June 6, 2014Whether it’s brown-bagging liquor at work, or popping pills at a party, drug addiction and abuse can be hard to differentiate in today’s society. It can feel like all the people around us are using, whether it be a grandparent taking their medication more than prescribed, siblings going out for a few drinks at the bar, or even publicly-known idols speaking out about drugs they currently or previously have used. So how can we tell if this is a casual use for entertainment or a potential life-threatening regular mistreatment of drugs? Understanding what the difference is between the drug abuse definition and the drug addiction definition will help clarify. What is the drug abuse definition? The drug abuse definition can best be described as when a person chooses to abuse a drug more than once, but has the ability to put it down. They may suffer some consequences as a result of their abuse, but there is no allergy where they mentally and/or physically crave it. Using drugs does not become a habit for this person, and there are typically no frequent thoughts about taking the drug over and over again. Some people are just like this; they can use just one time or maybe once in a while and never have the thought cross their mind again. Others, however, have an obsession, making them compelled to use beyond their control."

In this lesson, you will learn what the bottleneck effect is and how it affects populations, read about some examples of the bottleneck effect, and even have a chance to ponder jelly beans. Definition of the Bottleneck Effect We all know what a bottle looks like, but what does that have to do with biology? Take a look at this bottle filled with jelly beans. As you can see, there are three colors: red, yellow, and green. The bottle has no cap, and when you turn it over and give the bottle a good shake, ten jelly beans fall out before the flow stops. Just by chance, the ones that fall out are mostly red, but there are a couple green ones and a yellow one, too. It's not really a representative sample of what's in the bottle, but that's just how things shake out, so to speak. Your population of jelly beans just went through a bottleneck. Now, if those ten jelly beans could breed, you would rightly expect that the abundance of red jelly beans would skew the color array of jelly beans in the growing population for a good long time."

"text": "\"Thresholds, tipping points and limits Download the pdf version Open NESS Synthesis Paper Kurt Jax (Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, Germany) [1]Introduction and State-of-the-Art In the ecological literature the terms “threshold” and “tipping points” are often used synonymously. It is suggested to make a difference between the two here, considering threshold as the more generic term in the sense of the colloquial definition, which the Merriam Webster Dictionary defines as “the point or level at which something begins or changes” (Merriam Webster Dictionary online). Among “ ecological thresholds ” (the qualifier is important here), referring to ecological systems, some of them can be described as “ tipping points ”. Tipping points are defined here as “a point at which an (ecological) system experiences a qualitative change, mostly in an abrupt and discontinuous way” (own definition) and subsequently use tipping point and ecological threshold largely interchangeably. In contrast to ecological thresholds, another type of thresholds important for conservation and resource management are (following the terminology of Johnson, 2013) regulatory limits – by some authors also called decision thresholds or management thresholds. Regulatory limits refer to points in some variable or state up to which a risk of system change is permitted or accepted (like in regulations of nitrate or pesticides levels in drinking water). While ecological thresholds are largely descriptive, regulatory limits involve societal choices and negotiation of values and aims. The question of how these different types of thresholds are related and how they can be detected or determined first requires some further explanation of the concepts and the contexts in which they are used. Thresholds and tipping points are discussed mainly in connection with the existence of multiple stable states (also called alternative stable states) of ecosystems and their functioning (Anderson et al. 2009), and/or their resilience."

This effect can be produced in any fluid. When a flow is stopped backwater effect is produced in which a wave of water moves against the flowing water. ORWater hammer is caused by a pressure or shock wave that travels through the pipes, generated by a sudden stop in the velocity of the water, or a change in the direction of flow. If the pipe is suddenly closed at the outlet, the mass of water before the closure is still moving forward with some velocity, building up a high pressure and shock waves. Water hammering Phenomenon can cause failure of fittings or burst pipes Factors contributing to water hammering Improperly sized piping in relation to water flow velocity High water pressure with no pressure-reducing valve Straight runs that are too long without bends;Poor strapping of piping system to structure No dampening system in place to reduce or absorb shock waves"

For the type of castle, see inselburg. Inselberg in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil An inselberg in Western Sahara Lion atop a koppie in the Serengeti An inselberg or monadnock ( / m ə ˈ n æ d n ɒ k /) is an isolated rock hill, knob, ridge, or small mountain that rises abruptly from a gently sloping or virtually level surrounding plain. In southern and south- central Africa, a similar formation of granite is known as a koppie, an Afrikaans word (\"\"little head\"\") from the Dutch word kopje. [ 1] If the inselberg is dome-shaped and formed from granite or gneiss, it can also be called a bornhardt, though not all bornhardts are inselbergs. Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology1.1 Inselberg1.2 Monadnock2 Geology3 Examples4 Ecology5 See also6 Notes7 References8 External links Etymology [ edit]Inselberg [ edit]The word inselberg is a loan word from the German word Inselberg, which has the literal meaning of \"\"island mountain\"\". The name was coined in 1900 by geologist Wilhelm Bornhardt (1864–1946) to describe the abundance of such features found in southern Africa. [ 2] At that time, the term applied only to arid landscape features. However, the term inselberg has since been used to describe a broader geography and range of rock features, leading to confusion about the precise definition of the term."

"text": "\"Difference Between Mountain and Hill Posted on February 28, 2011 by koshal Last updated on: October 24, 2014Mountain vs Hill Due to a thin line of difference between mountain and hill the words mountain and hill cannot be used as synonyms. This should be emphasized because mountain and hill are two words in the English language that are often used as interchangeable words. They are not so. Before we pay attention to this difference, it should be mentioned that mountain and hill are both nouns. Hill is used as a verb too. Mountain has its origin in Middle English while hill has its origin in Old English. The mountainy is an adjective derivative of the word mountain. There are also phrases that use the words mountain and hill. What does Hill mean? A hill is a small and a natural elevation of the earth’s surface."

"docid": "D2750302#0",
"title": "http://www.drivingfast.net/abs/\nABS system",
"text": "ABS system Overview An ABS system consists of the following components: Some wheel speed sensors Brake calipers A hydraulic motor Some pressure release valves A quick thinking computer (or control module) which coordinates the whole process Diagram 1: Brake caliper (1) and wheel speed sensor (2)How ABS works When the driver hits the brakes this pressurises a hydraulic system which causes the brake pads to squeeze against the discs which causes the car to slow down. If the ABS system detects that one wheel is slowing down more rapidly than the rest (a symptom of wheel-lock) it automatically reduces the brake pressure on this wheel by opening a pressure release valve in the hydraulic system. ABS also has the ability to build the pressure back up via the hydraulic motor. The system reacts remarkably quickly, and compared wheel speeds many times a second. ABS systems can act on just the front wheels (which do most of the braking work), or all four depending on what car you’re driving. Diagram 2: Wheel speed sensor (A), ABS control module (B), hydraulic motor and pressure release valves (C), Brake pipe leading to caliper (D)ABS in detail Diagram 2 (above) shows the whole process in more detail. The four wheels shown are braking heavily as a result of heavy brake pedal application, and the green wheel is about to lock up due a low friction surface such as ice. The ABS control module (B) detects the onset of a skid through the sensor (A) in this wheel and reacts by releasing the brake pressure slightly by rapidly opening a pressure release valve (C). This lowers the pressure in the brake pipe (D) which causes the brake caliper to loosen its grip on the brake disc on the locking wheel. If this corrects the locked wheel, the hydraulic motor (C) will build up the pressure again to the optimum braking force and the valve will revert to the closed position."

"text": "\"Wheel Speed Sensor Replacement Service What is the Wheel Speed Sensor all about? A wheel speed sensor, also called an \"\"ABS sensor,\"\" is part of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). It is located on the tires (near the brake rotors for the front tires and in the rear end housing for the rear tires). The job of the wheel speed sensor is to constantly monitor and report the rotational speed of each tire to the ABS control module. ABS is a safety system that prevents your car from skidding or sliding when you apply the brakes. When the brake is applied, the ABS control module reads the speed data from the speed sensor and sends the correct pressure to each wheel to prevent any sliding/skidding (wheels locking up). On cars that come with rotors in each tire, each tire will also have a speed sensor. On cars that have rear drums (instead of rotors), the tires will have one sensor in the rear and two sensors in the front. When one or more of these sensors are faulty, the ABS warning light will go on and the ABS will be disabled. You will still be able to slow down and stop your car, but the tires may slide when you apply brakes, esp."

"text": "\"An anti-lock braking system (commonly known as ABS, from the German name \"\" Antiblockiersystem \"\" given to it by its inventors at Bosch) is a system on automobiles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking. The purpose of this is twofold: to allow the driver to maintain steering control and to shorten braking distances (by allowing the driver to fully hit the brake without the fear for skidding or the loss of control; the system itself does not contain miracle wonder technology to improve the tire quality). Contents [ show]Development Edit The German firm of Robert Bosch Gmb H had been developing anti-lock braking technology since the 1930s, but the first production cars using Bosch's electronic system became available in 1978. They first appeared in trucks and German limousines from Mercedes-Benz. Systems were later introduced on motorcycles . Anti-lock braking systems were first developed for aircraft. An early system was Dunlop 's Maxaret system, introduced in the 1950s and still in use on some aircraft models. This was a fully mechanical system. It saw limited automobile use in the 1960s, but saw no further use; the system proved expensive and in automobile use somewhat unreliable. The first car (worldwide) to have ABS fitted as standard (across the entire range) was the Ford Granada Mk 3 (of 1985)."

"text": "\"Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Wheel Speed Sensor Common signs include the ABS Light coming on, ABS not working properly, and the Traction Control Light staying on.by Timothy Charlet on January 13, 2016Share Tweet Pin Drivers across the US would be prone to multiple speeding tickets without the important assistance of the wheel speed sensor. This component, which is also referred to as an ABS sensor, is attached to the hub of a drive tire and is responsible for monitoring multiple vehicle functions such as traction control, anti-lock braking systems, and obviously, the vehicle’s speed. Due to this fact, when the wheel speed sensor is going bad or failing, it will commonly impact the operation of these other vehicle functions and display certain warning signs that any driver can instantly notice as they drive. The wheel speed sensor is different than the speed sensor attached inside the vehicle's transmission. Its job is to record the actual wheel speed and report this data to the vehicle ECU which controls all electronic functions on the car, truck, or SUV. Like any electronic device, the best way to determine how well the wheel speed sensor is working is to measure voltage output with a voltmeter. Since most car owners don't have access to this tool, they have to rely on the warning signs that might indicate that this component is starting to wear out or has broken and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. Noted below are a few of the warning signs of a bad or failing wheel speed sensor for your review.1. ABS Light is illuminated on the dashboard Since the wheel speed sensor also monitors the anti-lock braking system on your car, it's common for the ABS Light to illuminate when the sensor is worn out, disconnected, or has been struck by debris, which means you'll have to replace the wheel speed sensor. There are other problems that will also cause this light to illuminate including a faulty ABS pump, worn out brake pads, low brake fluid levels, issues with brake pressure, or air trapped in the brake lines."

Most drivers aren't aware of \"\"using\"\" antilock brakes, (ABS stands for Antilock Brake System), but ABS can prevent accidents, especially in a panic stop with a less experienced driver. THE PURPOSE OF ABSTo understand the purpose of ABS you need to know some basics: WHAT MAKES A CAR STOP? I'm not going into how hydraulic brakes work: see my article on brakes to learn more about what makes a car stop. Basically, when you press the brake pedal, the brakes slow the wheel and tire down, slowing the vehicle down also. In normal braking the wheel keeps constant contact with the road, and the brakes make the car come to a full stop. At some point however, if you press the brake pedal hard enough and are going fast enough, the wheel will \"\"lock up.\"\" At this point the wheel is no longer turning, but the vehicle is still moving. The tire is skidding, and a skidding tire has very little traction. It is no longer slowing the car down nearly as fast as when the tire had traction and the brakes were slowing it down."

They add that brakes are a car’s most important safety feature. “Usually, it just means that the brakes need to be replaced in the near future,” says Carl Roberson, owner of highly rated Carl’s Cool Cars, a service center in Las Vegas. “ But in a small percentage of cases, the brake system may be leaking brake fluid, and that’s a more serious matter requiring immediate repair. ”Roberson says most modern vehicles are equipped with three types of brake warning lights; one for if the parking brake is engaged (usually red or yellow), one if there is a problem with the anti-lock braking system (usually yellow), and one for the brakes themselves, which is red and could be an indication of a serious problem if it illuminates. For cars with only one brake warning light, first make sure the parking brake isn’t on before attempting to diagnose other issues."

The anti-lock braking (ABS) system is used to maintain wheel motion and traction while braking, accelerating or cornering on a slippery surface. This system uses the same components as the traction control system (TCS), and the functionalities of both are integrated through the ABS control module. How does the ABS system work? The ABS system is designed to keep the brakes from stopping one or more wheels while the vehicle is in motion by quickly engaging and disengaging the brakes in rapid succession until the vehicle is out of harm's way. The ABS control module is the brain of this system, and is physically attached to the brake lines, via the distribution block, to control the amount of pressure that is being applied when the driver depresses the brake pedal."

As always, what is described here is how most systems work in general. Since different manufacturers have their own versions of ABS their specifications and part names may differ. If you're having a problem with the ABS on your vehicle you should always refer to the specific service and repair manuals for your vehicle. The ABS is a four-wheel system that prevents wheel lock-up by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. By preventing the wheels from locking, it enables the driver to maintain steering control and to stop in the shortest possible distance under most conditions. During normal braking, the ABS and non-ABS brake pedal feel will be the same. During ABS operation, a pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, accompanied by a fall and then rise in brake pedal height and a clicking sound. Vehicles with ABS are equipped with a pedal-actuated, dual-brake system. The basic hydraulic braking system consists of the following: ABS Hydraulic Control Valves and Electronic Control Unit Brake Master Cylinder Necessary brake tubes and hoses The anti-lock brake system consists of the following components: Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)Anti-Lock Brake Control Module Front Anti-Lock Brake Sensors/Rear Anti-Lock Brake Sensors Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) operate as follows: When the brakes are applied, fluid is forced from the brake master cylinder outlet ports to the HCU inlet ports."

"text": "Symptoms of a Bad or Failing ABS Speed Sensor Common signs include the ABS Light coming on, decreased stopping time, and less stability under icy or wet driving conditions.by Eduardo Ruelas on January 06, 2016Share Tweet Pin The anti-lock brake (ABS) system uses sensors that send data to the ABS module which will activate it during wheel lock. These sensor mechanisms are installed at the wheel, and is usually made up of two components. There will be a reluctor wheel or tone ring seated on the axle which will spin with the wheel, and either a magnetic or hall effect sensor which works together to send data to the ABS control module. Over time, the reluctor wheel may become dirty or damaged to the point where it can no longer provide a consistent reading, or the magnetic/hall effect sensor may fail. When either of these components fail, the ABS system will not function properly and will require service. Different cars will have different ABS sensor configurations. Older vehicles may have only one or two sensors on the entire vehicle, while most new ones will have one at each wheel. Individual sensors at each wheel allow for more precise readings and operation, however, it does leave the system prone to more problems. When an ABS sensor fails, there are usually a few warning signs that will warn you that there is a problem.1. The ABS Light comes on The most obvious sign of a problem with the ABS system is that the ABS Light will come on."

Flag What are ABS EBD EPS in a car? Answer by Abhishekshinde007 Confidence votes 259ABS ABS: Antilock Brake System (or Anti-locking Brake System) - enables you to steer whilst keeping the brake pedal full on. Can be felt as a vibration through the pedal when it cuts in. Also useful in stopping in a straight line if one side is on slippery stuff and the other on grippy stuff (non-ABS will tend to spin). EBD EBD: Electronic Brake Distribution (or Electronic Brake-force Distributor) - alters how much of the brake force goes to the front and how much to the rear. Cars always have more braking on front as if the rears lock before the front then the car will spin. How much braking you can do with the rears depends on how much weight is in the vehicle so EBD dynamically adjusts this balance. Without it, the manufacturer sets up the balance so the rears don't lock when the vehicle is empty which is less braking than is possible when the vehicle is full. EPS EPS: Electronic Power Steering - enables the amount of assistance with steering to be varied depending on speed and how much you turn the wheel."

In taking care of your car or truck, it’s important to know how each component operates. By doing this, you’ll be able to easily recognize when something isn’t functioning properly and can schedule an appointment to have it fixed before it becomes a major repair. In this article, we’ll cover the anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS makes it possible to safely stop your motor vehicle in circumstances that are less than ideal, like when you’re driving on slippery roads or you must stop quickly to avoid an accident. As its name aptly implies, the ABS prevents the wheels on your car or truck from locking up so it doesn’t go into an uncontrollable skid. What makes the Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) work? The anti-lock braking system was created to keep the wheels from skidding when you decelerate quickly or abruptly. Once the ABS becomes engaged, you not only stop faster, you’re able to steer while you stop. So how does the ABS know when a wheel is about to lock up?"

"text": "\"This Site Was Built With You In Mind!ABS Brake Light On After Wheel Bearing Replacementby Eddie Carrara You just had a noisy wheel bearing replaced, and now your ABS brake light is on, you inspect all the ABS brake sensors, and everything looks ok, none of the sensors or wires are damaged, what could be the problem? This problem is more common than you would think, and it baffles the DIY guy trying to save a few bucks changing out a wheel bearing on their own. Here is a possible solution to your problem; the wheel bearing you just installed is in backwards and the encoder is facing the hub, not the ABS sensor!Here's the Deal on ABS Pickup Rings and Encoders Old style ABS pickup rings were usually a ring of metal teeth pressed on to the axle, hub, or rotor. These metal teeth are called the pickup, and each one of the teeth are spaced evenly around the ring. There is an ABS sensor mounted at the edge of the ring and it counts or measures the spaces as the ring spins, if any of the teeth are damaged or missing, the ABS brake light will come on warning the driver of a problem. The new style ABS systems uses a magnetic encoder built into the wheel bearing, and if the wheel bearing is installed backwards with the encoder facing out, it won't take long before your ABS light is on and your stress level goes up. The sad part is, you will most likely have to replace the wheel bearing with a new one, there is only a slim chance you can remove the wheel bearing without damaging it. ABS Encoders Don't Like Magnets When handling a wheel bearing with a magnetic encoder, be sure to keep it away from all magnets especially strong magnets like the ones found on speakers. Magnets can damage the encoder ring; even the small pocket screwdriver magnet can cause damage to the encoder ring if it gets too close. Some car manufacturers make a special tool to check the encoder for damage before installing it; it's worth the extra few minutes to check the encoder before putting everything back together, better to spend a few minutes up front then to see the dreaded ABS brake light on after the job is done."

It is located on the tires (near the brake rotors for the front tires and in the rear end housing for the rear tires). The job of the wheel speed sensor is to constantly monitor and report the rotational speed of each tire to the ABS control module. ABS is a safety system that prevents your car from skidding or sliding when you apply the brakes. When the brake is applied, the ABS control module reads the speed data from the speed sensor and sends the correct pressure to each wheel to prevent any sliding/skidding (wheels locking up). On cars that come with rotors in each tire, each tire will also have a speed sensor. On cars that have rear drums (instead of rotors), the tires will have one sensor in the rear and two sensors in the front. When one or more of these sensors are faulty, the ABS warning light will go on and the ABS will be disabled. You will still be able to slow down and stop your car, but the tires may slide when you apply brakes, esp."

"text": "\"Buying a used GL1800By Steve Saunders Honda's GL1500 Goldwing enjoyed a very long reign as King of touring motorcycles. From 1988 right into the 21st. Century, this machine was the unmistakeable flagship of the Honda stable. Even people who had no interest in motorcycles couldn't mistake the GL1500 as it wafted by with it's distinctive exhaust note. The GL1800 was formally announced in late 2000 and to those who had become accustomed to the well covered bodywork on the previous model, the initial reactions were mixed. The body panels were less integrated than the GL1500 and held less luggage because the machine was slimmer, but the real changes were under the skin. Honda made full use of modern technology and employed an all alloy frame which was comprised of only 31 parts, compared to the 131 of the GL1500. This was welcome news for the Goldwing faithful, less welcome was the fact that the new 1832cc engine didn't have hydraulic valve adjusters and instead had a shim & bucket setup. Timing chains rather than belts seemed another step backward, but then again most racing engine designers use this setup on bike engines and they can't all be wrong. Long overdue fuel injection and ABS brakes (on the ABS model) that worked really well made the new Goldwing a machine that Honda must have hoped would appeal to younger riders as well as the older rider that was perceived as the \"\"typical\"\" Goldwing type."

"text": "20 Feb, 11Mercedes Sensotronic brake-by-wire SBC ABS Pump System Failures Posted in ABS, Mercedes-Benz Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) ABS pump systems are commonly found on higher end Mercedes such as the E-Class, SL & CL Class, CLS etc.. the SBC Sensotronic ABS pump is a brake-by-wire system and Mercedes Benz were one of the first vehicle manufacturing companies to apply this system to cars. How It Works The Brake-By-Wire Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system is quite different to the conventional hydraulic abs braking system because it doesn’t have a brake servo at the reservoir to start with and the brake pedal is connected to the ECU by wire. The sensors on the brake pedal offer a way of communication, telling the on-board computer how the brake pedal was pressed, how hard it was pressed & how quickly it was pressed etc. The computer then calculates the required pressure and activates the braking system producing braking force at each wheel via modulators. The problem with Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) ABS Pump Braking Systems The Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) ABS Pump has a service life (also known as a life expectancy) programmed into the control module which works off the number of brake actuations. Once this limit has been reached, the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) light may illuminate on the dash or a brake related warning may appear on the trip computer. Once this happens, the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system is de-activated and the hydraulic braking function mode is activated whereby limited braking pressure is applied to the front brakes thus increasing the braking distance. When the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) ABS pump fails, you are led to believe that the unit will require replacing and in some cases (depending on the vehicle application) it can cost up to £2500-3000 for a replacement unit (+Labour, Programming & VAT). Connected to the STAR diagnostic system, the fault code C2498 will show the fault code description “Service Threshold Reached” as a current & stored fault code. This code cannot be erased without replacing the system."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from ABS brakes)navigation search Symbol for ABSIt has been suggested that Anti-lock braking system for motorcycles be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since July 2017. ABS brakes on a BMW motorcycle An anti-lock braking system or anti-skid braking system [1] ( ABS) is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding. It is an automated system that uses the principles of threshold braking and cadence braking which were practiced by skillful drivers with previous generation braking systems. It does this at a much faster rate and with better control than many drivers could manage. ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces; however, on loose gravel or snow-covered surfaces, ABS can significantly increase braking distance, although still improving vehicle steering control. [ 2] [3] [4]Since initial widespread use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have been improved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias. This function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known as electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).

"text": "Is It Unsafe to Continue Driving a Vehicle with Broken Wheel Speed Sensors? Car wheel speed sensors are an important safety feature. It helps the ABS system work when you need to make an emergency stop.by Tim Charlet on November 17, 2015Share Tweet Pin A safe assumption is that many drivers typically rank mechanical failures on their vehicles based on many variables, including cost to repair or replace. Drivers sometimes think that if a sensor is damaged or a warning light is on the dashboard, it can be resolved later down the road, as long as the vehicle doesn't break down. However, when it comes to wheel speed sensors, a minor-seeming glitch may turn into a major safety risk. That is why in general, it is unsafe to drive a vehicle with a broken wheel speed sensor. If the wheel speed sensor becomes damaged or wears out, initially you probably won’t notice much difference in the way your car performs if your ABS light comes on unless you are driving on slippery pavement. Your regular brakes continue to do their job, so it may seem like no big deal. Unfortunately, you have a false sense of security if you believe this is the case. What is the Wheel Speed Sensor?"

"text": "What Does the ABS Warning Light Mean? The ABS light is on due to anti-lock braking system issues. Causes include low brake fluid, a blown fuse, or abnormal signals from wheel sensors.by Spencer Cates on September 08, 2016Share Tweet Pin While you are driving, your vehicle constantly monitors sensors throughout the car to ensure that everything works as intended. One of the systems being monitored is the anti-lock braking system (ABS). The ABS monitors the wheels to make sure that they are all turning at approximately the same speed. The system can then use the brakes to keep the vehicle under control during slippery situations. What the ABS light means The ABS system uses sensors at each wheel to monitor their rotational speed. A computer monitors the signals from all four wheels and the position of the brake pedal to make sure that the vehicle is stable and under control. If the computer notices any abnormal signals, or the lack of a signal from any of the sensors, it will turn the ABS light on, to alert the driver of an issue. In addition to monitoring the wheel speed sensors, the computer can turn the ABS light on for other reasons like low brake fluid levels or a blown fuse."

The Bartholin’s glands and its ducts are located deep in the posterior (back) third of the labia, on either side of the vagina. It secretes thin lubricating mucus, especially at the time of sexual excitation. The glands are small and cannot be felt normally but when the ducts are blocked, a painless cyst may develop. Infection within the cyst may lead to abscess formation which can become extremely painful. Bartholin’s cyst and abscess usually develop in women between the ages of 20 and 30 years. Causes of Bartholin’s Cyst and Abscess A cyst is a collection of fluid within a closed sac. Obstruction of the duct leading out of Bartholin’s gland results in accumulation of secretions within the gland. This leads to a painless swelling of the gland, known as Bartholin’s cyst. Infection is an important cause of obstruction."

The parasite is termed obligate when it can live only in a host; it is classified as facultative when it can live both in a host as well as in free form. Parasites that live inside the body are termed endoparasites whereas those that exist on the body surface are called ecto-parasites. Parasites that cause harm to the host are pathogenic parasites while those that benefit from the host without causing it any harm are known as commensals. The organism that harbors the parasite and suffers a loss caused by the parasite is a host. The host in which the parasite lives its adult and sexual stage is the definitive host whereas the host in which a parasite lives as the larval and asexual stage is the intermediate host. Other hosts that harbor the parasite and thus ensure continuity of the parasite's life cycle and act as additional sources of human infection are known as reservoir hosts. An organism (usually an insect) that is responsible for transmitting the parasitic infection is known as the vector.

Cysts may occur as a result of a developmental error in the embryo during pregnancy or they may be caused by infections. However, sometimes they arise spontaneously with no apparent cause. Cysts are often dangerous as they may have negative effects (for instance, compression) on the nearby tissue. They may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst. A cyst may also be a sack that encloses an organism during a dormant period, such as in the case of certain parasites."

If it keeps increasing in size, it could be a malignant tumor. It is quite tempting to ignore a lump behind your knee. This is especially so if it is not causing any form of discomfort or pain. Ignoring a lump can bring undesired consequences. For one, lumps are closely associated with malignancy. Also, some may lead to the spread of infections in the body if left untreated.

( January 2018)Dental abscess A decayed, broken down tooth, which has undergone pulpal necrosis. A periapical abscess (i.e. around the apex of the tooth root) has then formed and pus is draining into the mouth via an intraoral sinus (AKA gumboil ). Classification and external resources Specialty dentistry ICD - 10 K04.6, K04.7ICD - 9-CM 522.5, 522.7Me SH D010482 D005491, D010482 [ edit on Wikidata]A dental abscess (also termed a dentoalveolar abscess, tooth abscess or root abscess ), is a localized collection of pus associated with a tooth. The most common type of dental abscess is a periapical abscess, and the second most common is a periodontal abscess. In a periapical abscess, usually the origin is a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft, often dead, pulp of the tooth. This can be caused by tooth decay, broken teeth or extensive periodontal disease (or combinations of these factors). A failed root canal treatment may also create a similar abscess."

"text": "A tubo-ovarian abscess is an infected, pus-filled lump located in the ovary or Fallopian tube. It is commonly caused by infection moving up the reproductive tract from the vagina, and typically forms part of what is known as pelvic inflammatory disease, where bacteria multiply inside the pelvic cavity affecting structures such as the womb and ovaries. Occasionally this disease can be a result of infection spreading from nearby organs, in an illness such as appendicitis, but more often it is associated with sexual activity. A tubo-ovarian abscess usually appears in the later stages of pelvic inflammatory disease, and although the illness can be life-threatening if it is left untreated, it usually responds to antibiotics, with surgery being used if necessary. Most often, a tubo-ovarian abscess occurs in young women who are sexually active. An increased risk is also present in women who have been fitted with an intrauterine contraceptive device, or IUD. There are a number of different organisms which can be involved in the infection, with common examples being the bacteria that cause chlamydia and gonorrhea. Symptoms which may be experienced as a result of this kind of abscess can include pain in the lower abdomen and fever. Sometimes unusual bleeding or discharge from the vagina is seen, and there may be discomfort when urinating or passing stools. The areas around the reproductive organs may feel tender when examined by a doctor."

"text": "Difference between tooth abscess, cyst, and granuloma Leave a reply Whenever a lesion is observed on a radiograph, it must first be described in general terms before a differential diagnosis is attempted. Is the lesion radiolucent, radiopaque, or mixed (combination of radiolucency and radiopacity)? Where is the lesion located? The apices of which teeth are involved? What is the size of the lesion? Is the margin of the lesion ill-defined, well-defined, or well-defined with a radiopaque border? Is the appearance of the bone surrounding the lesion: normal, porous, or sclerotic? The various radiographic appearances of the margins of lesions and the changes in the surrounding bone have been given clinical interpretation by some diagnosticians based largely on intuitive analysis rather than on research data. Although the significance of these signs is sometimes questionable, they are useful in radiographic interpretation. An ill-defined (diffuse, irregular) periphery is suggestive of a lesion enlarging by invading the surrounding bone."

Describe a variety of cystic focal liver lesions in the adult.•. Recognize the features of these masses at evaluation with CT and MR imaging.•. List the differentiating clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic findings in cystic liver lesions in the adult. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Cystic lesions of the liver in the adult can be classified as developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory, or miscellaneous lesions. Because the clinical implications of and therapeutic strategies for cystic focal liver lesions vary tremendously according to their causes, the ability to differentiate noninvasively all types of cystic tumors is extremely important. With the rapid advances in imaging techniques over the past 2 decades, including the development of both dynamic spiral computed tomography (CT) and fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and the ability to use tailored MR imaging techniques such as MR cholangiopancreatography, it is now possible to assess the morphologic and hemodynamic features of a vast array of liver tumors. Several authors have tried to characterize cystic focal liver lesions on the basis of both quantitative data and qualitative observations ( 1 – 3 ). However, many overlapping characteristics were shown to exist among the various neoplasms; these overlapping characteristics frequently led to a long list of differential diagnoses with a subsequent lengthy and expensive work-up for the patient. However, in the majority of cases, familiarity with the most relevant radiologic key features, in combination with critical clinical information, provides enough information for adequate lesion characterization. This article presents the characteristic CT and MR imaging findings of the gamut of both usual and unusual cystic focal liver lesions, along with their most relevant clinical differential points and in correlation with their histopathologic background ( Table ). Developmental Lesions Section: Choose prevnext Hepatic (Bile Duct) Cyst Simple hepatic cysts are benign developmental lesions that do not communicate with the biliary tree ( 4 ). The current theory regarding the origin of true hepatic cysts is that they originate from hamartomatous tissue ( 4 )."

"text": "Frequently asked questions about dental cysts What are dental cysts? A cyst is a sac of tissue that has either fluid or soft material inside it. Cysts can form in a wide range of tissues including in the face and mouth (including the jaws). Some can form next to or around teeth, which are called dental cysts. Cysts are a reaction of the body to a condition and are usually relatively slow growing. They can be sterile or become infected. Why do dental cysts form? Dental cysts can form at the tip of the roots of dead teeth. They can also form around the crowns (and roots) of buried teeth. Most cysts form because the teeth they are associated with have died (infection or trauma)."

A pilonidal cyst is a small sac inside the skin that is usually located near the tailbone at the top of the buttocks crease. Pilonidal (say: “pie-low-NYE-dull”) means “nest of hairs.” A pilonidal cyst can contain hair, skin fragments and other abnormal tissue. Anyone can have a pilonidal cyst, but it is more common in young men. Symptoms What are the symptoms of a pilonidal cyst? A pilonidal cyst may not have any symptoms besides a small pit or dimple on the skin. However, sometimes pilonidal cysts become infected. When this happens, the cyst can become a painful abscess—a swollen, inflamed sac filled with pus (a thick, whitish-yellow fluid). Rarely, an infected pilonidal cyst can cause a fever."

Gene Mc Neeley, MD, Clinical Professor, Michigan State University, College of Osteopathic Medicine; Chief of Gynecology, Center for Advanced Gynecology and Pelvic Health, Trinity Health NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Bartholin gland cysts are mucus-filled sacs that can form when the glands located near the opening to the vagina are blocked. Cysts are usually painless, but if large, they can interfere with sitting, walking, and sexual intercourse. Cysts may become infected, forming a painful abscess. Doctors can usually see or feel the cysts during a pelvic examination. Doctors may create a permanent opening from the cyst to the outside or may surgically remove the cyst. Bartholin glands are very small, round glands that are located in the vulva on either side of the opening to the vagina. Because they are located deep under the skin, they cannot normally be felt. These glands may help provide fluids for lubrication during sexual intercourse. If the duct to the gland is blocked, the gland becomes filled with mucus and enlarges."

Malignant etiologies include metastatic lesions (including from colon and pancreatic cancers) as well as primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma is more likely to present as a single liver nodule in a background of chronic liver disease, while metastatic cancer classically presents as multiple nodules. Non-malignant causes of liver nodules include cysts (simple cysts and multiple cysts typically associated with polycystic kidney disease), hepatic adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), hemangiomas, regenerative nodules, and various infections, including bacterial liver abscesses and infections secondary to Echinococcus and Entamoeba histolytica.

Symptoms of internal abscesses, such as a brain abscess or a liver abscess, differ depending on the type of abscess and the area of the body that is affected. Symptoms can include fever, chills, and severe pain to affected area. For example, a pancreatic abscess results in severe abdominal pain. A tooth abscess results in severe gum and mouth pain, and a rectal abscess results in severe rectal pain. If an abscess is not recognized and treated promptly, it can lead to gangrene and permanent tissue and organ damage."

Abscess Definition An abscess is an enclosed collection of liquefied tissue, known as pus, somewhere in the body. It is the result of the body's defensive reaction to foreign material. Description There are two types of abscesses, septic and sterile. Most abscesses are septic, which meansthat they are the result of an infection. Septic abscesses can occur anywhere in the body. Only a germ and the body's immune response are required. In response to the invading germ, whiteblood cells gather at the infected site and begin producing chemicals called enzymes that attackthe germ by digesting it. These enzymes act like acid, killing the germs and breaking them downinto small pieces that can be picked up by the circulation and eliminated from the body. Unfortunately, these chemicals also digest body tissues."

Boils symptoms and signs include:a firm reddened bump,tender, swollen skin surrounding the bump,the bump may increase in size,pus-filled head on the bump, which may spontaneously drain, weep, or ooze. Antibiotics alone can be inadequate in treating abscesses. The primary treatments for boils include hot packs and draining (\"\"lancing\"\") the abscess but only when it is soft and ready to drain. Most of these skin conditions resolve on their own or with home remedies. If the individual has a fever or chronic disease, such as cancer or diabetes, or is taking medications that suppress the immune system, he or she should contact a health care professional if a boil (abscess) or other skin infection develops. There are a number of ways to reduce the likelihood of developing some forms of boils, but boils are not completely preventable even with proper hygiene and skin care regimens. The bacteria that cause boils are contagious, and skin infections can be spread from contact with the fluid from a boil. Picture: What does a boil look like?

Many people think it is nothing to be concerned about, but it is important to understand the reason for a swollen lump behind ear, because while some cases can be minor, others are more serious. Both painless and painful lumps can be small or large, and they can disappear over a few days or weeks without any need for medical attention. If you notice an annoying lump behind one of your ears for more than four weeks, you should consider seeing a doctor. Allergic reactions can cause lumps and swelling behind the ear or it could be a cyst that needs to be removed. It could also be something more sinister.

"text": "\"What Are the Symptoms of a Staph Infection in the Nose?by DR. MARVIN PHILLIPS Aug. 14, 2017Staph in the nose is caused by a bacterium named Staphylococcus aureus, commonly called Staph. Staph is quite ubiquitous in normal life, and according to medical textbooks, “most newborns are colonized within the first week of life, 70 to 90 percent of adults’ nasopharanyx are transiently colonized, and 20 to 30 percent of all adults carry Staph in nose at all times,” according to the “Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics.” In most individuals, colonization generally does not lead to infection; however, infection and colonization are often confused. Many symptoms caused by Staph in the nose are at sites away from the nose. Infections that are caused by Staph localized in the nose can be in combination with other symptoms at distant sites. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Local Symptoms Colonization of the nose with S. aureus does not cause an active infection or local symptoms. True nasal infections as with S. aureus are generally secondary infections after a cold, flu, surgery, inflammation or other trauma to the nasal membranes that alters the normal first line of defense filtering provided by the nasal passages. Bacteria, like S. aureus, that normally only colonize the nasal passages are able to actively invade the local tissue and multiply, which triggers an immune response. The presence of yellow to green mucus in the nasal discharge and throat is an indication of an active immune response."

If painful, it could be due to other causes such as injuries, arthritis or skin abscess. If the lump is causing no pain, it could be a benign tumor. If it keeps increasing in size, it could be a malignant tumor. It is quite tempting to ignore a lump behind your knee. This is especially so if it is not causing any form of discomfort or pain. Ignoring a lump can bring undesired consequences. For one, lumps are closely associated with malignancy. Also, some may lead to the spread of infections in the body if left untreated. Severe and spreading infections are indicated by signs such as a hard painful lump under the armpit, in the throat or the groin area."

Abscesses can be serious and lead to gangrene and permanent organ damage if they are not recognized and treated promptly. An abscess forms from a bacterial infection, parasitic infection or foreign body and can develop in many places in the body. One type of bacteria that commonly causes abscesses is Staphylococcus aureus. Examples of abscesses include skin abscess, brain abscess, lung abscess, kidney abscess, bones abscess, abdominal abscess, rectal abscess, breast abscess, liver abscess, spinal cord abscess and tooth abscess. An abscess develops when harmful bacteria or parasites infect an area of body tissue, such as the gums or the skin. The body tries to attack the infection by sending a surge of white blood cells (infection fighting cells) to the infected area."

Abscess are caused by an inflammatory response from your body’s defenses. It is triggered when your immune system tries to kill germs that get under the skin or in the oil (sebaceous) glands. When the body’s immune system begins to fight off the infection, white blood cells move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect in the damaged tissue. Thus, the abscess becomes filled with pus. The collection of pus includes dead cells, bacteria, and debris. This process then expands and inflames the surrounding follicles and tissue, causing pain. People with weakened immune systems are more prone to getting abscesses. Abscesses themselves are not contagious, but the bacteria that cause boils are.

The infection usually occurs when a dental cavity (tooth decay) goes untreated and spreads deep within the tooth. The infection can also occur from a broken or cracked tooth where the dental pulp is exposed to the oral environment. The bacteria that cause an abscess can spread down the length of the roots and into the surrounding bone tissue. Dental professionals also consider an infection can also occur between the gum tissues and root of the tooth, which is called a periodontal abscess. Additionally, the dental nerve can be susceptible to injury leading to an infection after a crown or large filling are completed. The greater the amount of decay, the closer the dental treatment gets to the dental nerve, and the more likely the nerve can become compromised. Teeth that are directly subjected to dental trauma (for example, from a fall or from a hit by a projectile such as a baseball) are also prone to infection and should be immediately examined by a dentist.

"text": "Resize font A- A A+What Is It? An abscess is a limited area of pus formed as a result of a bacterial infection. The body's immune system reacts to the infection, and sends white blood cells to the area to try to get rid of the bacteria. Pus is a mixture of live and dead white blood cells, enzymes and parts of destroyed cells and tissues. When there is no way for pus to drain, it forms an abscess. Abscesses can form in almost every part of the body. In the mouth, abscesses form in gum tissue or in the roots of teeth and in the surrounding areas of the tooth. They can be caused by trauma (food or debris embedded deep in the gum), by bacteria that enters through a cavity and gets into the dental pulp, or from a deep periodontal pocket. People with a lowered resistance to infection are at increased risk of developing an abscess. At first, the abscess may cause a toothache, which can be severe."

Let’s take a look at the common questions…What Is a Dead Tooth? Simply put, it’s when the nerve (and other living tissue like blood cells) inside a tooth has died (or been removed as part of a root canal treatment). All ‘normal’ teeth have living tissue inside the pulp (the innermost part). This living tissue plays a role in the development of the teeth, and it’s the nerve part of the pulp that fires off when you have a toothache or drink something really cold. The problem is commonly seen in kids who fall and knock their baby teeth. The gray, dead teeth in this picture are due to trauma from a sports injury. So Is The Pulp Not Important?"

[ 2] The soft tissue covering a partially erupted tooth is known as an operculum, an area which can be difficult to access with normal oral hygiene methods. The synonym operculitis technically refers to inflammation of the operculum alone. Pericoronitis is caused by an accumulation of bacteria and debris beneath the operculum, or by mechanical trauma (e.g. biting the operculum with the opposing tooth). [ 3] Pericoronitis is often associated with partially erupted and impacted mandibular third molars (lower wisdom teeth), [4] often occurring at the age of wisdom tooth eruption (15-24). [ 5] [6] Other common causes of similar pain from the third molar region are food impaction causing periodontal pain, pulpitis from dental caries (tooth decay), and acute myofascial pain in temporomandibular joint disorder. Pericoronitis is classified into chronic and acute. Chronic pericoronitis can present with no or only mild symptoms and long remissions between any escalations to acute pericoronitis.

The pus, or abscess, is enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone, as well as at the tip of the infected tooth. In most cases, an abscess tooth is the result of tooth decay, but there are numerous reasons why an abscess tooth forms. There are three types of abscess teeth: a gingival abscess, periapical abscess and a periodontal abscess. The gingival abscess occurs in the gum tissue only, not affecting the tooth or the periodontal ligament. The periapical abscess is found in the dental pulp and the periodontal abscess occurs in the supporting bone and tissue structures of the teeth. A tooth abscess needs to be treated as soon as possible. If it isn’t, it can lead to serious, life-threatening complications. Prevention of abscess teeth is key to maintaining proper oral health.

Infections of the teeth, gingivae, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone can spread to contiguous structures (e.g., sinusitis, osteomyelitis of the jaw, aspiration pneumonia). Poor oral hygiene also contributes to cardiovascular disease. To better care for patients with these diseases, an introductory understanding of these diseases is useful. Dental caries is a lesion of the enamel and dentin of the teeth. Periodontal disease includes gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is an infection of the gingivae (gums); and periodontitis is an infection/inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth (e.g., periodontal ligament and alveolar bone). There are two basic forms of periodontitis; chronic and aggressive periodontitis.

The dental pulp is a soft substance in the center of the tooth that consists of the nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The pulp chamber is the hollow part in the center of the tooth that contains the pulp, and it continues down canals that extend through the roots of teeth and into the surrounding bone. Some roots have more than one root canal, but all have at least one canal. Root canal treatment (RCT) and endodontic treatment are the more correct terms for a procedure that treats the nerve of the tooth. Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals specifically with the tooth pulp and tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. A root canal problem may be treated by a general dentist or by an endodontist. An endodontist is a dentist who has gone to multiple years of specialty training after dental school to focus exclusively on root canal treatments. General dentists are qualified to perform root canals but may refer a patient to an endodontist if the tooth is particularly complicated or is being treated for the second time."

This damage is caused by decay or trauma to the nerve. But how can you and ( more importantly) your dentist tell if you need this done? Your dentist will firstly ask you about any pain and other symptoms you might have, and then look in your mouth for any signs of needing root canal…An abscess on gum above a front tooth, which needs RCTRoot canal symptoms that may indicate the need for this work include: Severe tooth pain, often this persists for some time and possibly interrupts your sleep. This pain may be due to the pulp dying off or an abscess forming at the tip of the offending tooth. There are few things in life that are as painful as a toothache, like this, that keeps you awake all night!This pain may radiate out to the ear, temples or jaw areas. Pain on biting down onto or touching the tooth. This is due to inflammation or infection at the root tip, felt when the tooth is pressed down into it’s socket – thus irritating the root area. Swelling, or a ‘pimple’ on the gum (see image)."

"text": "Tooth Abscess: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment If you have ever suffered an abscess — an infection of the mouth, face, jaw or throat — you can attest to the fact that it’s one of the most painful dental experiences. Even worse, abscesses actually can be life-threatening if left untreated. Tooth abscesses always require professional dental care. They occur when bacteria invade the dental pulp, the soft inner part of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves and tissue. Bacteria enter through a dental cavity, chip or crack in the tooth and spread to the root. The bacterial infection causes swelling and the formation of pus (bacteria, dead tissue and white blood cells). If unchecked, the bacterial infection spreads from the tooth root to different parts of the body. Common Causes Common causes of tooth abscesses are severe, untreated tooth decay, tooth injury, such as broken or chipped teeth, and gum diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis. Two other causes are persistent disease and infection following root canal therapy, and infected tooth fillings. Who is at Risk?"

"text": "tooth abscess in cats Posted by admin· Saturday, December 7 th, 2013· No Comments A dental or oral abscess in cat’s is a serious condition. Caused by an infection, a cat abscess needs to be treated immediately by a veterinarian, since such an infection can cause other health problems. Abscesses are localized collections of pus that are formed by tissue disintegration resulting from an infection; the abscess is surrounded by an inflamed, swollen area. Dental abscesses can form under and around teeth and in the gums. A tooth abscess in cat’s is a relatively common occurrence, especially in those cats that have periodontal disease or who have suffered some kind of physical trauma to their mouths. A cat abscess needs immediate attention from a veterinarian. What Causes an Abscess in Cats? There are several causes for cat abscess lesions, such as: Bacteria accumulating at the root of a tooth or at the gum line, resulting from untreated endodontic or periodontal disease. Physical trauma. If your cat suffers a physical trauma, such as a broken tooth or mouth burn (common in cats, who are especially prone to chewing electrical cables), a cat abscess can develop if they do not see a veterinarian promptly."

"text": "Overview Periapical tooth abscess A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that's caused by a bacterial infection. The abscess can occur at different regions of the tooth for different reasons. A periapical (per-e-AP-ih-kul) abscess occurs at the tip of the root, whereas a periodontal (per-e-o-DON-tul) abscess occurs in the gums next to a tooth root. The information here refers specifically to periapical abscesses. A periapical tooth abscess usually occurs as a result of an untreated dental cavity, an injury or prior dental work. Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. They may be able to save your tooth with a root canal treatment, but in some cases the tooth may need to be pulled. Leaving a tooth abscess untreated can lead to serious, even life-threatening, complications. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of a tooth abscess include: Severe, persistent, throbbing toothache that can radiate to the jawbone, neck or ear Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures Sensitivity to the pressure of chewing or biting Fever Swelling in your face or cheek Tender, swollen lymph nodes under your jaw or in your neck Sudden rush of foul-smelling and foul-tasting, salty fluid in your mouth and pain relief if the abscess ruptures When to see a doctor See your dentist promptly if you have any signs or symptoms of a tooth abscess. If you have a fever and swelling in your face and you can't reach your dentist, go to an emergency room."

In this lesson, you'll learn about absenteeism and turnover, their impact and what can be done to reduce their occurrence. A short quiz follows. Absenteeism and Turnover Meet Caroline. She's a human research manager for a large microchip-manufacturing firm, and she has a problem. Her company is suffering from high levels of both absenteeism and turnover. Absenteeism is a pattern or habit of an employee missing work, often for no good reason. Turnover is the number or percentage of an employer's workforce that must be replaced due to the voluntary and involuntary separation of employees from employment. Voluntary turnover includes leaving employment to retire, illness, returning to school and better career opportunities, while involuntary turnover includes layoffs and terminations for poor performance or disciplinary problems. Impact A high degree of absenteeism and turnover can cause serious problems for businesses."

"text": "CFR › Title 29 › Subtitle B › Chapter XXV › Subchapter B › Part 2510 › Section 2510.3-129 CFR 2510.3-1 - Employee welfare benefit plan.e CFR Authorities (U. S. Code) What Cites Meprev | next§ 2510.3-1 Employee welfare benefit plan. ( a) General. ( 1) The purpose of this section is to clarify the definition of the terms “employee welfare benefit plan” and “welfare plan” for purposes of title I of the Act and this chapter by identifying certain practices which do not constitute employee welfare benefit plans for those purposes. In addition, the practices listed in this section do not constitute employee pension benefit plans within the meaning of section 3 (2) of the Act, and, therefore, do not constitute employee benefit plans within the meaning of section 3 (3). Since under section 4 (a) of the Act, only employee benefit plans within the meaning of section 3 (3) are subject to title I of the Act, the practices listed in this section are not subject to title I. (2) The terms “employee welfare benefit plan” and “welfare plan” are defined in section 3 (1) of the Act to include plans providing “ (i) medical, surgical, or hospital care or benefits, or benefits in the event of sickness, accident, disability, death or unemployment, or vacation benefits, apprenticeship or other training programs, or day care centers, scholarship funds, or prepaid legal services, or (ii) any benefit described in section 302 (c) of the Labor Management Relations Act, 1947 (other than pensions on retirement or death, and insurance to provide such pensions).” Under this definition, only plans which provide benefits described in section 3 (1) (A) of the Act or in section 302 (c) of the Labor-Management Relations Act, 1947 (hereinafter “the LMRA”) (other than pensions on retirement or death) constitute welfare plans. For example, a system of payroll deductions by an employer for deposit in savings accounts owned by its employees is not an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of section 3 (1) of the Act because it does not provide benefits described in section 3 (1) (A) of the Act or section 302 (c) of the LMRA. ( In addition, if each employee has the right to withdraw the balance in his or her account at any time, such a payroll savings plan does not meet the requirements for a pension plan set forth in section 3 (2) of the Act and, therefore, is not an employee benefit plan within the meaning of section 3 (3) of the Act). ( 3) Section 302 (c) of the LMRA lists exceptions to the restrictions contained in subsections (a) and (b) of that section on payments and loans made by an employer to individuals and groups representing employees of the employer. Of these exceptions, only those contained in paragraphs (5), (6), (7) and (8) describe benefits provided through employee benefit plans."

Salaried Nonexempt2Rules & Regulations for Paying Salaried Employees3What Does a Paid Salary Mean?4Time Clock Rules for Salaried Employees Small-business owners often have questions regarding labor laws. One area that may cause confusion concerns the differences between hourly, salaried-exempt and salaried-nonexempt employees when it comes to benefits such as vacation and sick pay. You may already know that federal law does not require you to offer such benefits to any employee, and that you need not pay an hourly employee if he does not work. With salaried employees, however, the issue is not as simple. You must first determine whether the employee is exempt or nonexempt. Definition of a Salaried Exempt Employee The term \"\"exempt\"\" means that the federal laws regarding overtime pay and minimum wage do not apply to the employee. The employee may work well beyond a 40-hour work week and and you are under no obligation to pay extra for the additional hours or ensure that he averages at least minimum wage. The federal government has strict guidelines detailing who may be an exempt employee. You must pay him a fixed weekly salary of at least $455, and he must meet certain requirements for job duties, such as supervising others or working in a creative capacity."

Here is a good truancy guide by DC.gov for those interested in learning more about prevention. CALIFORNIA: Any school-aged child who is absent from school without valid excuse three full days in one school year or tardy or absent for more than any 30-minute period during one school day on three occasions during the school year or any combination thereof is considered truant and should be reported to the supervisor of the school district. CONNECTICUT: A truant is a child between the ages of five and 18 who is enrolled in any public or private school and has four unexcused absences in a month or 10 in any school year. A HABITUAL truant is a child of the same age who has 20 unexcused absences from school during a school year. ILLINOIS: A truant is defined as any child subject to compulsory schooling and who is absent from school unexcused. Absences that are excused are determined by the school board. A chronic or habitual truant is a school-age child who is absent without valid cause for 10 percent out of 180 consecutive days. The truant officer in Illinois is responsible for informing parents of truancy and referring the case to juvenile court."

Definition of Anaerobic Respiration Can you guess what muscle soreness, beer and compost have in common? They all share a process called anaerobic respiration. Most organisms have evolved to use oxygen in their metabolic process, whether as a component of respiration or as a product of photosynthesis. But there are many conditions on Earth in which oxygen is absent, and yet, living things still find a way to use function and use energy. How do they pull it off? They bypass the part of respiration that involves oxygen, which results in different byproducts of the process. Anaerobic respiration is the metabolic process in which oxygen is absent, and only the stage of glycolysis is completed."

Cautions Note that counts of habitual truants are for the entire school year, but enrollment counts are as of a single date in fall of that school year. For this reason, if a student group of interest is mobile or if recorded demographic group identification of individual students changes after the fall count date, then the reported habitual truancy rates will be distorted and could potentially exceed 100%. In comparing habitual truancy rates across districts, two key points should be considered. Each district establishes its own policy for excused absences. So what is excused in one district might be unexcused in another (i.e., family trips, deer hunting, absences without written permission)."

"text": "\"Sexual Desire Disorder Sexual desire disorder is a psychiatric condition marked by a lack of desire for sexual activity over a prolonged period. Definition In the DSM-5, Sexual Desire Disorder has been broken down into two separate conditions: Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder and Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. Both of these refer to a low level of sexual interest resulting in a failure to initiate or respond to sexual intimacy. Neither of these conditions can be diagnosed if the main problem is a \"\"desire discrepancy\"\" in which one partner desires more sexual activity than the other; rather, the conditions are diagnosed when symptoms have been present for a minimum of six months and cause clinically significant distress in the individual. A diagnosis of sexual desire disorder in men and women refers to a lack of, or significantly reduced, sexual interest or desire for sexual activity. This can include an absence of sexual thoughts or fantasies, reduced or absent pleasure during sexual activity, and absent or reduced interest in internal or external erotic cues. Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder and Male Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder can both be diagnosed as generalized, meaning they may be a general attitude toward any potential partner or situation. These conditions can also be diagnosed as being situational, meaning symptoms are only present with certain types of stimulation, situations, or partners. Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder was known as Sexual Arousal Disorder in previous versions of the DSM, although this diagnosis has been replaced by gender-specific conditions in the DSM-5. The prevalence of Female Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder is unknown, although some older women report less distress about experiencing low sexual desire than younger women."

"text": "\"Additional Information on Parkinson's Disease UPDRS Scale Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale The UPDRS scale refers to Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale, and it is a rating tool used to gauge the course of Parkinson's disease in patients. The UPDRS scale has been modified over the years by several medical organizations, and continues to be one of the bases of treatment and research in PD clinics. The UPDRS scale includes series of ratings for typical Parkinson’s symptoms that cover all of the movement hindrances of Parkinson’s disease. The UPDRS scale consists of the following five segments: 1) Mentation, Behavior, and Mood, 2) ADL, 3) Motor sections, 4) Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale, and 5) Schwab and England ADL scale. Each answer to the scale is evaluated by a medical professional that specializes in Parkinson’s disease during patient interviews. Some sections of the UPDRS scale require multiple grades assigned to each extremity with a possible maximum of 199 points. A score of 199 on the UPDRS scale represents the worst (total disability) with a score of zero representing (no disability). UNIFIED PARKINSON'S DISEASE RATING SCALE (UPDRS)I.
