Inherent versus Treated Flame Resistant Fabrics Inherent versus Treated Flame Resistant Fabrics What are the differences between “inherent” and “treated” flame resistant fabrics? Inherently flame resistant fibers are materials that have flame resistance built into their chemical structures. Aramid fibers from companies like Du Pont create inherently flame resistant fibers, with brands such as Du Pont™ Kevlar® and Du Pont™ Nomex®. The actual structure of the fiber itself is not flammable. For inherently flame resistant fibers, the protection is built into the fiber itself and can never be worn away or washed out. In the case of Nomex®, when exposed to flame, the aramid fiber swells and becomes thicker, forming a protective barrier between the heat source and the skin. This protective barrier stays supple until it cools, giving the wearer vital extra seconds of protection to escape. The other main category is flame-retardant treated (FRT) fabrics. These materials are made flame-resistant by the application of flame-retardant chemicals. A chemical additive in the fiber or treatment on the fabric is used to provide some level of flame retardancy. During a fire, chemically dependent fabrics rely on a chemical reaction to extinguish the flame. This reaction is triggered by the heat of the fire and the amount of time the fabric is exposed to the fire. It is very difficult to determine whether protection has been compromised with an FRT fabric. There are ways to test it. Unfortunately, all of these test methods are destructive — there really is no way to test a garment to determine what its current level of flame resistance or arc protection value is, without destroying the garment in a flame or arc flash test. The flame-resistant (FR) properties of inherently flame resistant fabrics, on the other hand, cannot be washed out or worn away, period. This means the flame-resistant properties of garments made of inherent fibers cannot be compromised. It is crucial for the wearer to know the flame-resistant protection is always there. Laundering’s impact on flame resistance An essential thing to keep in mind when assessing flame-resistant technologies is that inherent flame resistant properties cannot be washed out or damaged through exposure to chemicals in the workplace or laundering practices, whether at-home or commercial. FR-treated garments, however, may be damaged by chlorine bleach, the combination of hydrogen peroxide (“oxygen bleach”) with hard water, or exposure to oxidizing chemicals in the workplace. How a garment will respond to a snag or a rip. Copyright 2012 Du Pont. What By the time you've laundered only ten times with chlorine bleach, the FR effectiveness of FR-treated cotton is, in essence, eliminated. Both fabrics made of Nomex® and Protera® maintain their flame resistance well into 30 launderings even in the presence of chlorine bleach. Arc rating values retained after multiple washes. Copyright 2012 Du Pont. Can FR properties be removed from a garment? For FR-treated fabric, such as FR cotton/nylon blends, one way to remove its flame-resistant properties is to use regular chlorine bleach while washing the garment. While use of chlorine bleach may not be recommended per some fabric manufacturers’ laundry instructions, this can happen in the real world. It does not take many washes with chlorine bleach to damage the flame resistance of a FR cotton or cotton/nylon fabric. And unfortunately, the wearer would not be able to tell it was no longer flame-resistant simply by looking at the garment. With inherent fabrics, the flame-resistant properties cannot be removed. Additional FR-treated garment vulnerabilities Besides chlorine bleach, there are other chemicals that could damage the flame-resistant properties of FR treated apparel. For example, the combination of hydrogen peroxide (a type of oxygen bleach) with “hard” water during laundering could compromise the FR properties of garments made with FR-treated fabrics. And exposure to oxidizing (e.g., chlorine-containing) chemicals in the workplace may, over time, compromise the flame-resistant properties of garments made with FR-treated fabrics. Inherent flame resistant fabrics drive overall value Inherent flame resistant fabric-based technologies from Du Pont help personnel work with constant protection. Remember, with flame-resistant fabrics made from Du Pont™ Nomex® fiber and Protera®, there will be no washing out or wearing away of their inherent flame resistant properties, which helps make for a longer garment lifecycle, value and peace of mind for the wearer.

Improve Your 20-yard Shuttle Run With These 3 Exercises Improve Your 20-yard Shuttle Run With These 3 Exercises April 24, 2015The shuttle run is a football drill that involves speed and agility. When the NFL has players do this drill, they are accessing linear speed and a player’s ability to change direction quickly. To help you crush the 20-yard shuttle run at this year's Wall Street Decathlon, we asked Lauren Williams, a certified personal trainer and head coach at New York City’s athletic-based training studio Tone House, to come up with three moves to help you shave seconds off your personal best time.1. Side Standing Long Jump: In this exercise, start by squatting low, with your weight evenly distributed in both feet. Next, jump to the right off of two feet -- traveling sideways as far as possible. You want this movement to be quick and powerful. Repeat on your left side. This drill will help train you to be explosive off of two feet moving laterally, which is a key element of performing the shuttle drill. Do 5 reps on each side for 3 to 5 sets, resting between each set.2. Carioca: Start standing with your feet facing forward. Move laterally by stepping your foot behind, than in front of the other leg. When your leg crosses in front, make sure to drive that knee up explosively before you put your foot down. For the shuttle run, you want to train your body to turn your hips and cross your foot over as you accelerate towards the next point. This drill will help you train for that quick crossover. For this move, do 5 reps on each side for 3 to 5 sets. (You can find great video footage and explanations of the first two exercises here .)3. Hill Runs: Add some hill runs to your program work on your speed and acceleration. The distance you travel for the shuttle run is short, the goal is to accelerate and decelerate quickly. For your hill runs you want to focus on short burst of speed, accelerating as quickly as you can up the hill for ten seconds at a time, then rest and repeat. Do ten, 10-second second hill sprints with 30 to 90 seconds rest in between, depending on your level of fitness. Make sure you go all out in that 10 seconds of work in order to see the benefits from the work. How are you training for The Decathlon? Comment and let us know!Share Next Post Previous Post

Venture Capitalists and Angel Investors. Many people hear the term venture capitalists and assume that these investors will be interested in becoming equity investors in their business. However, venture capitalists are like any large investor and are seeking a large return on their investment. Therefore, venture capitalists are uninterested in most small businesses, which generally seek to turn enough of a profit to make a comfortable living for the owner and employees.
How Long Does Negative Information Stay on My Credit Report? How Long Does Negative Information Stay on My Credit Report? Published on Dec 22, 2015 04:59 pm A credit report is like a financial résumé. It contains information about how you’ve managed your financial obligations, like paying your bills on time and maintaining low balances. It also shows areas where you might need a little improvement. All this information is used to determine your creditworthiness, and it’s the areas for improvement that can cause a host of issues in your financial life. If you’ve overdone it just a bit during the holiday season, you might be wondering how those actions can affect your credit overall. Learn just how long you can expect those dings to your credit to hang around on your credit report. Negative information can affect your ability to qualify for loans, gain employment or find suitable housing. The good news is that negative information won’t show up on your reports forever. In this way, your mistakes won’t always be with you. Both positive and negative information can remain on your credit reports for varying amounts of time. The most prominent items may linger longer. Everything from court rulings to late payments can show up on a credit report. Each of these instances can be reported for varying periods of time. On your Experian credit report, information about lawsuits or judgments against you can be reported for seven years, or until the statute of limitations runs out, whichever is longer. Late payments, one of the most common instances of negative information, can be reported for up to seven years. Chapter 13 bankruptcies, collection accounts, and foreclosures can also be reported for seven years. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or liquidation, will typically be reported for 10 years, and unpaid tax liens can stay on your credit report indefinitely. The good news is that even though some of these items can have a significant impact within your credit reports, they won’t linger there forever. The information that’s sampled by a credit scoring model provides a glimpse into how you’re managing your financial obligations at a specific moment in time and in the recent past. Even though negative items can remain on your reports for several years, you can take steps to maintain a healthy credit profile and offset their impact. One of the best things you can do to offset negative information is to keep your good credit behaviors consistent. When you make payments on time and in the required amounts to keep your accounts current, and if you don’t take on too much debt, you should be on your way to a much brighter financial future.

Where the two oceans Where the two oceans Tweet on Twitter 18 December 2007 South Africa’s Cape coast attracts thousands of local and international tourists each year to witness the Indian and Atlantic oceans splashing together – or so they believe. Cape Point, an hour’s drive from Cape Town, cashes in on the visitors who flock to witness this supposed natural phenomenon. An estimated 800 000 people a year visit its spectacular cliffs, lighthouses and “Two Oceans” curio shops. However, the residents of Cape Agulhas – over 100km east of Cape Point – insist that visitors wanting to see the confluence of the two oceans will have to travel a little further south … Cape Agulhas residents want what they see as their rightful piece of the tourism pie – the town attracts about 250 000 tourists a year – arguing that visitors are tricked into believing the seas meet at Cape Point, and that the shops there trade under false pretences. According to CapeInfo.com’s Cape Agulhas web page , somebody did draw a line to demarcate where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet: the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO), which describes the western boundary of the Indian Ocean as follows: From the coast of the Antarctic continent northwards, along the meridian of 20º E to Cape Agulhas (34º 50’S – 20º 00’E), the southern extremity of the Republic of South Africa, in Africa (the common limit with the South Atlantic Ocean). According to CapeInfo.com, this finding is accepted and applied by both the Hydrographic Office of the South African Navy and the Department of Oceanography at the University of Cape Town. A common misunderstanding fuelling the controversy, argues the web site, is “the erroneous assumption that oceans and currents are synonymous”. The Indian Ocean, on the east, is warmed by the Mozambique or Agulhas Current which flows down from the tropics, while the Atlantic, on the west coast, is cooled by the icy Benguela Current which comes up from the Antarctic. These two different oceans, the prevailing wind and the topography of South Africa combine to create lush forests and subtropical savanna on the east coast, gradually changing to desert or semi-desert on the west coast. Says CapeInfo.com: “The Agulhas Current brings warm water from the subtropics down the east coast of South Africa. From the region of East London, because of the widening of the continental shelf, the current flows further offshore and the coastal waters become cooler. On the west coast, the water is chilled by the north-drifting, cold Benguela Current. When the wind blows the surface waters offshore, deep water, which is rich in nutrients, swells up to replace it. “The changes in temperature along the coast bring about changes in marine life. One example, which is there for all to see, is the prolific kelp (Ecklonia maxima) forests which prefer the colder, nutrient-rich waters of the west coast.” These kelp forests, the web site argues, grow all the way along the west coast, past Cape Point in an easterly direction – only as far as Cape Agulhas. “This fact supports the argument that the dividing line between the warm and cold waters is more often at Cape Agulhas than anywhere else … However, because of the effect of the south-easterly and north-westerly winds, the warm current can on occasion drift even as far as Cape Point.” What about the warmer temperature of the waters in False Bay, just to the East of Cape Point? This, Cape Agulhas argues, is merely due to False Bay’s being shallow and sheltered and hence not affected by the currents to the same extent as the waters of the open sea. Who is right, asks The Economist in a January 2002 article sub-titled “South Africa’s oceanic squabble”, noting that oceans are divided by man, not nature, and quoting University of Cape Town oceanographer Howard Waldron: “Oceans exchange water all the time, and there is never a neat dividing line.” SAinfo reporter Would you like to use this article in your publication or on your website?

Timeline of drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution The following is a timeline of the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution. The drafting of the Constitution began on May 25, 1787, when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time with a quorum at the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation, and ended on September 17, 1787, the day the Constitution drafted by the convention's delegates to replace the Articles was adopted and signed. The ratification process for the Constitution began that day, and ended when the final state, Rhode Island, ratified it on May 29, 1790. In addition to key events during the Constitutional Convention and afterward while the Constitution was before the states for their ratification, this timeline includes important events that occurred during the run-up to the convention and during the nation's transition from government under the Articles of Confederation to government under the Constitution, and concludes with the unique ratification vote of Vermont, which at the time was a sovereign state outside the Union. The time span covered is 5 years, 9 months, from March 25, 1785 to January 10, 1791.

What Is the Prognosis for Muscle Cramps? What Is a Muscle Cramp? As we normally use our muscles, they alternately contract and relax as we move our limbs back and forth. Similarly, the muscles that maintain our posture contract and relax in a synchronized fashion. A muscle that involuntarily contracts without our consciously willing it is called a "spasm." If the spasm is forceful and sustained, it becomes a cramp. A muscle cramp is an involuntarily and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax. Muscle cramps cause a visible or palpable hardening of the involved muscle. Muscle cramps can last anywhere from a few seconds to a quarter of an hour or occasionally longer. It is not uncommon for a cramp to recur multiple times until it finally goes away. The cramp may involve a part of a muscle, the entire muscle, or several muscles that usually act together, such as those that flex adjacent fingers. Some cramps involve the simultaneous contraction of muscles that ordinarily move body parts in opposite directions. Muscle cramps are extremely common, and nearly everyone experiences a cramp at some time in their life. Cramps are common in adults and become increasingly frequent with aging. However, children also experience cramps. Any of the muscles that are under our voluntary control (skeletal muscles) can cramp. Cramps of the extremities, especially the legs and feet, and most particularly the calf (the classic "charley horse"), are very common. Involuntary muscles, those we cannot control, of the various organs (heart, uterus, blood vessel wall, intestinal tract, bile and urine passages, bronchial tree, etc.) are also subject to spasms and cramps but will not be further considered in this review. This article focuses on cramps of the muscles that move joints, the muscles we can consciously control, the voluntary muscle known as skeletal muscle. Muscle Cramps and Spasms Slideshow Dehydration Tips Slideshow Pictures First Aid Care and Pain Relief for Minor Injuries What Causes Muscle Cramps? Readers Comments 7 Share Your Story Muscle cramps are felt to be caused by excessively excited nerves that stimulate the muscles. This can occur after injury to nerve and/or muscle; dehydration; with low blood levels of calcium, magnesium, or potassium; from certain medications; and even at rest. The pain that is associated with muscle cramps caused by poor circulation to the legs that worsens with walking is referred to as claudication. Deficiencies of certain vitamins, including thiamine (B1), pantothenic acid (B5), and pyridoxine (B6), can also cause muscle cramps. Medications that can cause muscle cramps include furosemide ( Lasix, a diuretic), donepezil ( Aricept for Alzheimer's disease), neostigmine (Prostigmin for myasthenia gravis), raloxifene ( Evista to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women), tolcapone ( Tasmar for Parkinson's disease), nifedipine ( Procardia for angina, high blood pressure ), and the asthma drugs terbutaline ( Brethine) and albuterol ( Proventil, Ventolin, and others). Some medicines used to lower cholesterol, including clofibrate (Atromid-S), pravastatin ( Pravachol ), atorvastatin ( Lipitor ), and lovastatin ( Mevacor ), can also cause cramps. Muscle Cramp Remedies and Treatments A muscle cramp is a sustained muscle spasm. There are many causes of muscle cramps. The pain from muscle cramps can range from mild to incapacitating. Massaging and stretching may provide relief of muscle cramps. Read more about muscle cramps remedies and treatments »What Are Risk Factors for Developing Muscle Cramps? Risk factors for developing muscle cramps include certain medications (such as those listed in the section above), exercise, dehydration, and low blood levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B1, B5, or B6. What Are Muscle Cramp Symptoms and Signs? Muscle cramps cause the following: Local pain Tenderness Firmness of the involved muscle This disturbs the function of the involved extremity. When a hand muscle is affected, it can lead to difficulty in writing (writer's cramp) or grasping. When the muscles of the calf or foot are affected, it can lead to difficulty walking. When Should Someone Seek Medical Care for Muscle Cramps? Muscle cramps usually are a temporary nuisance and typically resolve on their own without treatment. When muscle cramps continually recur, it is time to seek an evaluation by a health-care professional. What Specialists Treat Muscle Cramps? While primary-care doctors most commonly treat muscle cramps, other specialist physicians who can be involved include orthopedists, rheumatologists, physiatrists, neurologists, and intensive-care physicians. What Tests Do Health-Care Professionals Use to Diagnose Muscle Cramps? The health-care professional will review your history to analyze the character, location, intensity, and frequency of your muscle cramps. Your medications will be reviewed to determine if they may be playing a role in causing your symptoms. The physical examination will include evaluation of muscle strength, dexterity, and nerve function. Blood tests for the muscle enzymes (CPK, aldolase, LDH, ALT, AST) can be helpful to determine if muscle injury is occurring. Other blood testing may include evaluation of the levels of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, as well as thyroid function. Occasionally, testing with a neurologist might include tests of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and an electromyogram ( EMG ). Muscle Cramps and Spasms Slideshow Dehydration Tips Slideshow Pictures First Aid Care and Pain Relief for Minor Injuries What Are Home Remedies for Muscle Cramps? Most cramps can be stopped if the involved muscle can be stretched. For many cramps of the feet and legs, this stretching can often be accomplished by standing up and walking around. For a calf muscle cramp, the person can stand about 2-2½ feet from a wall (possibly farther for a tall person) and lean into the wall to place the forearms against the wall with the knees and back straight and the heels in contact with the floor. Another technique involves flexing the ankle by pulling the toes up toward the head while still lying in bed with the leg as straight as possible. For a writer's cramp (contractures in the hand), pressing the hand on a wall with the fingers facing down will stretch the cramping finger flexor muscles. Gently massaging the muscle will often help it to relax, as will applying warmth from a heating pad or hot soak. If the cramp is associated with fluid loss, as is often the case with vigorous physical activity, fluid and electrolyte (especially sodium and potassium) replacement is essential. Medicines are not generally needed to treat an ordinary cramp that is active since most cramps subside spontaneously before enough medicine would be absorbed to even have an effect.

Readers Comments 12 Share Your Story The primary treatment of muscle cramps involves methods to relax the affected muscle. This typically involves stretching, massage, and heat application. Other treatments are directed toward the underlying cause of the muscle cramps and can include rehydration, electrolyte repletion, hormone treatment, calcium supplementation, etc. Are There Medications That Treat Muscle Cramps? Muscle relaxants such as cyclobenzaprine ( Flexeril ), orphenadrine ( Norflex ), and baclofen ( Lioresal) can be helpful to relax cramping muscles. Some people benefit by drinking simple quinine -containing water (tonic water) before bedtime. In recent years, injections of therapeutic doses of botulism toxin ( Botox) have been used successfully for some spastic muscle disorders that are localized to a limited group of muscles. A good response may last several months or more, and the injection may then be repeated. Persisting muscle cramps can require blood testing and an evaluation by a neurologist. Return to your health-care professional if your muscle cramps recur. Your follow-up with your health-care professional can be important to detect associated activities or diseases that should be addressed to stop your muscle cramping. Muscle Cramps and Spasms Slideshow Dehydration Tips Slideshow Pictures First Aid Care and Pain Relief for Minor Injuries Is It Possible to Prevent Muscle Cramps? Stretching is recommended before and after for cramps that are caused by vigorous physical activity. An adequate warm-up and cooldown before and after activity can help prevent muscle cramps. Adequate hydration before, during, and after physical activity is important, especially if the duration exceeds one hour, and replacement of electrolytes (especially sodium and potassium, which are major components of perspiration) can also be helpful. Excessive fatigue, especially in warm weather, should be avoided. Supplemental calcium and magnesium have each been shown to help prevent cramps associated with pregnancy. Drinking quinine (tonic water) before bedtime can alleviate night cramps. What Is the Prognosis for Muscle Cramps? Although cramps can be a great nuisance, they are a benign condition. Their importance is limited to the discomfort and inconvenience they cause or to the diseases associated with them. Careful attention to the preceding recommendations will greatly diminish the problem of cramps for most individuals. As mentioned, those with persistent or severe muscle cramps should seek medical attention. Reviewed on 11/20/2017REFERENCE: Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, Mc Graw-Hill, Mar 2008.
Flexibility in some joints can be increased to a certain degree by exercise, with stretching a common exercise component to maintain or improve flexibility. Quality of life is enhanced by improving and maintaining a good range of motion in the joints.Overall flexibility should be developed with specific joint range of motion needs in mind as the individual joints vary from one to another.Loss of flexibility can be a predisposing factor for physical issues such as pain syndromes or balance disorders. Gender, age, and genetics are important for range of motion.ovement demands include strength, endurance and range of motion. Training oversights occurs when the body is overused. Internally, the joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments can affect one's flexibility.

In January 3, 1848 Joseph Jenkins Roberts, a wealthy free-born Black American from Virginia who settled in Liberia, was elected as Liberia's first president after the people proclaimed independence.
Operation (mathematics) In mathematics, an operation is a calculation from zero or more input values (called operands) to an output value. The number of operands is the arity of the operation. The most commonly studied operations are binary operations of arity 2, such as addition and multiplication, and unary operations of arity 1, such as additive inverse and multiplicative inverse. An operation of arity zero, or 0-ary operation is a constant. The mixed product is an example of an operation of arity 3, or ternary operation. Generally, the arity is supposed to be finite, but infinitary operations are sometimes considered. In this context, the usual operations, of finite arity are also called finitary operations.

Past Time Sports makes leather football helmets, antique baseball gloves, vintage leather football helmets Leather Football Helmet Hisitory Football historians, those who have studied the game and its origins, place the games beginnings in rugby, an English game played with many similarities to football. Rugby began in eighteen twenty-three at the famous Rugby Boys School in England. Another cousin of the game of football is soccer, sometimes called association football; its beginnings can also be traced to English origin, being played as early as the eighteen twenties. COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ITS BEGINNINGS At the same time, a group of students, who did not wear leather football helmets, at Princeton began playing what was then known as bal lown. First using their fists to advance the ball, and then their feet, this game consisted mainly of one goal: to advance the old watermeoln football past the opposing team. There were no hard and fast rules applied to this earliest attempt at the game we now call football .At Harvard, the freshman and sophomore classes, who also did not at first wear leather football helmets, competed in a football-type game, played on the first Monday of each school year; this event came to be known as Bloody Monday because of the roughness of the game. Pick up games,where there were no leather football helmets, similar in style to that played on Bloody Monday, soon became popular on the Boston Common, catching on in popularity around eighteen sixty .Soon after the end of the American Civil War, still the leather football helmet had not been invented, around eighteen sixty five, colleges began organizing football games.None of these early teams wore leather football helmets. In eighteen sixty seven, Princeton led the way in establishing some rudimentary rules of the game. But still , leather football helmets were not used or invented. Players simply tied a bandana around their heads. Also in that year, the football itself was patented for the very first time That early ball was a crude watermelon, almost round shape. But still no way to protect the players from death or concussins because there were no leather football helmets even thought of during these early years..Rutgers College also established a set of rules in eighteen sixty seven, and with the relatively short distance between it and Princeton, a game was decided upon by both universities. A date was chosen, November sixth, eighteen sixty nine; Rutgers won by a score of six goals to four, and thus was played what has become known as the very first intercollegiate football game No leather football helmets were worn during this contest. The flying wedge plays injured many because they had no leather football helmets..In eighteen seventy three, representatives from Columbia, Rutgers, Princeton, and Yale met in New York City to formulate the first intercollegiate football rules for the increasingly popular game, still being played with many of the rules of soccer. These four teams established the Intercollegiate Football Association, and set as fifteen the number of players allowed on each team.Walter Camp, the coach at Yale and a dissenter from the IFA over his desire for an eleven man team, helped begin the final step in the evolution from rugby-style play to the modernfootball game of American football. The IFAs rules committee, led by Camp, soon cut

Every citizenship application will be scrutinized, Sarbanand Sonowal said (File) Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Wednesday reiterated that the state's interests will be kept in mind when the rules of the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) are framed. He assured that constitutional safeguards will be provided to the indigenous people of the north-eastern state. "No one needs to be uncertain about CAA, since it's a national act; and in this law we are trying to see that the interests of Assam remains protected. That's why when being asked we have already sent our suggestion and advice to the centre on the rules that would be framed," Mr Sonowal told reporters in Guwahati on Wednesday, when he met them in a rare interaction. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act makes religion the test of citizenship for the first time. The government says it will help minorities from three Muslim-dominated neighbouring nations - Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan - to get citizenship if they fled to India because of religious persecution. Critics say it is designed to discriminate against Muslims and violates the secular principles of the constitution. Violent protests had broken out in several parts of the country after the law was passed in parliament last month. "On what ground would we give validity to foreigners here. After we took charge we gave importance to the Assam accord implementation department. We gave awards, financial assistance and memorials for the martyrs of the Assam agitation. We have planned how to safeguard the rights of the people of Assam. We are sure we will give constitutional safeguards to the people of Assam. Even in CAA, we have sent our suggestions to centre on CAA. No new Bangladeshi would be allowed to come - the rule is clear. It only gives citizenship to refugees who have been there for decades. And every application will be scrutinized," Mr Sonowal added. Protests in Assam, meanwhile, have continued despite assurances from Mr Sonowal. Many among Assam's indigenous population want immigration blocked saying they have been reduced to a minority in the state. "One fact is clear that people of Assam no longer are with CM Sonowal. What he is saying is not correct. He has the support of Bangladeshis, whom he wants to give Indian citizenship," Palash Changmai, President of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parisad, said.
Thought and Change (1964) is early book by Ernest Gellner, who outlines his views on "modernity" and looks at the processes of social change and historical transformation and, perhaps most forcefully, the power of nationalism. Maleŝević and Haugaard argue that the method is the socio-historical method, and Gellner sets out a powerful sociology of specific philosophical doctrines and ideologies, from utilitarianism and Kantianism to nationalism. The chapter specifically dealing with nationalism was later expanded to form the basis of Gellner's most famous book, "Nations and Nationalism" (1983).

Most animals indirectly use the energy of sunlight by eating plants or plant-eating animals. Most plants use light to convert inorganic molecules in their environment into carbohydrates, fats, proteins and other biomolecules, characteristically containing reduced carbon in the form of carbon-hydrogen bonds. Starting with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), photosynthesis converts the energy of sunlight into chemical energy in the form of simple sugars (e.g., glucose), with the release of molecular oxygen. These sugars are then used as the building blocks for plant growth, including the production of other biomolecules. When an animal eats plants (or eats other animals which have eaten plants), the reduced carbon compounds in the food become a source of energy and building materials for the animal. They are either used directly to help the animal grow, or broken down, releasing stored solar energy, and giving the animal the energy required for motion.

Mass deacidification is a term used in Library and Information Science for one possible measure against the degradation of paper in old books (the so-called "slow fires"). The goal of the process is to increase the pH of acidic paper on a large scale. Although acid-free paper has become more common, a large body of acidic paper still exists in books made after the 1850s because of its cheaper and simpler production methods. Acidic paper, especially when exposed to light, air pollution, or high relative humidity, yellows and becomes brittle over time. During mass deacidification an alkaline agent is deposited in the paper to neutralize existing acid and prevent further decay.
In 1970 the country switched its currency from the Bermudian pound to the Bermudian dollar, which is pegged at par with the US dollar. US notes and coins are used interchangeably with Bermudian notes and coins within the islands for most practical purposes; however, banks levy an exchange rate fee for the purchase of US dollars with Bermudian dollars. Bermudian notes carry the image of Queen Elizabeth II. The Bermuda Monetary Authority is the issuing authority for all banknotes and coins, and regulates financial institutions. The Royal Naval Dockyard Museum holds a permanent exhibition of Bermuda notes and coins.

Inferior vena cava The inferior vena cava (or IVC) is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart. Its walls are rigid and has valves so the blood does not flow down via gravity. It is formed by the joining of the right and the left common iliac veins, usually at the level of the fifth lumbar vertebra.
Mariana Trench The Mariana Trench or Marianas Trench,[1] located in the western Pacific Ocean approximately 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands, is the deepest point in the world's oceans. It is a crescent-shaped trough in the Earth's crust averaging about 2,550 km (1,580 mi) long and 69 km (43 mi) wide. The maximum-known depth is 10,994 metres (36,070 ft) (± 40 metres [130 ft]) at the southern end of a small slot-shaped valley in its floor known as the Challenger Deep.[2] However, some, unrepeated, measurements place the deepest portion at 11,034 metres (36,201 ft).[3] For comparison: if Mount Everest were dropped into the trench at this point, its peak would still be over 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) underwater.[a]
Ya Sin It has been proposed that Yāʾ-Sīn is the "heart of the Quran".[5] The meaning of “the heart” has been the basis of much scholarly discussion. The eloquence of this surah is traditionally regarded as representative of the miraculous nature of the Qur'an.[6] It presents the essential themes of the Qur'an, such as the sovereignty of God, the unlimited power of God as exemplified by His creations, Paradise, the ultimate punishment of nonbelievers, resurrection, the struggle of believers against polytheists and nonbelievers, and the reassurance that the believers are on the right path, among others.[7] Yā Sīn presents the message of the Qur'an in an efficient and powerful manner, with its quick and rhythmic verses. This surah asserts that Muhammad was not a poet, rather he was the greatest and the last messenger of Allah to come.

Circle of Life "Circle of Life"[note 1] is a song from Disney's 1994 animated film The Lion King. Composed by Elton John, with lyrics by Tim Rice,[3] the song was performed by Carmen Twillie (the deep female lead vocals) and Lebo M. (opening Zulu vocals) as the film's opening song.[4] In an interview, Rice said he was amazed at the speed with which John composed: "I gave him the lyrics at the beginning of the session at about two in the afternoon. By half-past three, he'd finished writing and recording a stunning demo."[5] Elton John sang a pop version (with alternative lyrics) of the song with the London Community Gospel Choir, which was included in the film's soundtrack and made into a music video. "Circle of Life" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song in 1994, along with two other songs from The Lion King: "Hakuna Matata" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" [6][7] which won the award.[6]

Flip-flops The term flip-flop has been used in American and British English since the 1970s to describe the thong or no-heel-strap sandal. It is an onomatopoeia of the sound made by the sandals when walking in them.[1] They are called thongs in Australia,[2] jandals (originally a trademarked name derived from "Japanese sandals") in New Zealand,[3] slops in South Africa[4] and tsinelas in the Philippines (or, in some Visayan localities, "smagul", from the word smuggled).
The so-called `` Emirates business model '' is the business model that lies at the heart of Emirates 's commercial success . Its main ingredients are a lean workforce comparable to a low-cost carrier and a flat organisational structure that allows the airline to maintain low overhead costs . Some industry analysts believe the airline is second only to Ryanair on a cash cost per seat basis due to lower operating costs at its Dubai base . This enables it to serve secondary destinations profitably by connecting these via its global hub in Dubai . Emirates has not joined any global airline alliance , stating that unless an airline is the lead participant in such an alliance -- e.g. Lufthansa in the Star Alliance or Air France in SkyTeam -- individual alliance members ' freedom of action is compromised by the imposition of common alliance goals that mainly serve the interests of the alliance leaders . Emirates operates an all-widebody fleet , largely composed of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s . This results in lower unit costs compared to other large airlines operating a mix of narrow - and widebody fleets and allows the airline to use the aircraft 's cargo capacity to increase its revenues and total profits . Since Dubai International Airport does not have any night flying restrictions , Emirates achieves a higher utilisation of its aircraft than competitors . It also has lower staff costs than longer established rivals , because in Dubai there are no unions and there is an abundance of cheap labour from India and Pakistan .

From around 750, during the Abbasid Caliphate, women “became renowned for their brains as well as their beauty”. In particular, many well known women of the time were trained from childhood in music, dancing and poetry. Mahbuba was one of these. Another feminine figure to be remembered for her achievements was Tawaddud, "a slave girl who was said to have been bought at great cost by Hārūn al-Rashīd because she had passed her examinations by the most eminent scholars in astronomy, medicine, law, philosophy, music, history, Arabic grammar, literature, theology and chess". Moreover, among the most prominent feminine figures was Shuhda who was known as "the Scholar" or "the Pride of Women" during the 12th century in Baghdad. Despite the recognition of women's aptitudes during the Abbasid dynasty, all these came to an end in Iraq with the sack of Baghdad in 1258.

Big Race History: Cesarewitch Handicap : Events : Horse Racing Free Bet Detroit City, Jamie Spencer up, easing down having just won the 2006 Cesarewitch Handicap "The name of the race is derived from the Russian title Tsarevich which was given to the Tsar’s first born son and therefore heir apparent - the equivalent of the Prince of Wales in the UK" The Cesarewitch is one of top staying handicaps in the programme book as well as being the second-leg of the Autumn double. First run in 1839 it is named in honour of an eminent Russian visitor. Malcolm Pannett fills in the details. As an ultra competitive handicap it is no surprise that only two favourites have won the Cesarewtch in the past two decades. Therefore when horses with a touch of class prevail it is even more noteworthy. The most recent market leader to win was the former Triumph Hurdle-winner Detroit City in 2006 (pictured) who was preceded by the great Vintage Crop (1992) the dual Irish St Leger-winner who went on to cap his career by winning the 1995 running of the Melbourne Cup. Indeed the inaugural winner Cruisken (1839) was a good filly who went on to win the Chester Cup in 1941. In the early days Classic winners contested the race with Derby-winner Bloomsbury finishing runner-up to Clarion (1840) in the second running, while St Gatien, who had dead-heated with Harvester in the Derby, went one better in 1884. The name of the race is derived from the Russian title Tsarevich which was given to the Tsar's first born son and therefore heir apparent - the equivalent of the Prince of Wales in the UK. The particular Tsarevich in question went on to become Tsar Aleksandr II, in 1855, and is honoured in the race title to thank him for his gift to the Jockey Club of £300 during his state visit to England in 1838. Contrary to popular belief the race is run entirely within the county of Cambridgeshire with only the part of the course where the horses pull up being in Suffolk. Among the more notable renewals was a three-way dead-heat in 1857, which Prioress won after a run off, and the disqualification of Orchardist in 1962 with the race being awarded to Golden Fire. There was also a dead-heat in 1893 where Red Eyes and Cypria shared the spoils. There was no race in 1942. In 1943 there were three races (at Newmarket, Ascot and Stockton) while in 1944 there were two (at Ascot and Stockton but not at Newmarket). The 1986 and 1999 races were run on the July Course. Notable winners in the last 50 years include; Grey Of Falloden (1964) who had won the Doncaster Cup and took the next season's Henry II Stakes; Major Rose (1968) that season's Chester Cup winner who was subsequently placed in two Champion Hurdles; Chester Vase-winner Shantallah (1975); and John Cherry (1976) who carried the record winning weight of 9st 13lb. John Cherry, who had already won the Chester Cup, went on become a dual winner of the Long Walk Hurdle. They were followed by Mountain Lodge (1982) who won the next year's Irish St Leger; Bajan Sunshine (1983) who was successful in the Aintree Hurdle two years later; Tom Sharp (1984) (see below) the Fighting Fifth Hurdle-victor in 1986; and Nomadic Way (1988) the winner of the 1992 Stayers' Hurdle who was also twice runner-up in Champion Hurdle. And in the last decade; Landing Light (2003) who won the Christmas Hurdle and Fighting Fifth Hurdle as well as the replacement race for the Champion Hurdle at Sandown when Cheltenham was abandoned due to an outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth disease; Sergeant Cecil (2005) the Prix Royal-Oak, Prix du Cadran; Ebor, Doncaster Cup, Yorkshire Cup and Northumberland Plate-winner; and Leg Spinner (2007) who had won 2005 Ascot Stakes. 25 Year Ago - Tom Sharp, who along with Have Blessed, was allowed an easy lead in the early stages made the most of the advantage to win at 40/1 under Steve Dawson. Kicked on by his apprentice-partner half-a-mile from home the result was never danger as the son of Martinmas came home with six lengths to spare over Valuable Witness in second. 10 years ago - The former Coral Cup Hurdle and dual Chester

Newton's law of universal gravitation Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.[note 1] This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.[1] It is a part of classical mechanics and was formulated in Newton's work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia"), first published on 5 July 1687. When Newton's book was presented in 1686 to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke made a claim that Newton had obtained the inverse square law from him.

Despite the commanded withdrawal of Egyptian troops, about 2,000 Egyptian soldiers were killed during engagement with Israeli forces, and some 5,000 Egyptian soldiers were captured by the Israeli Army. Amer and Salah Salem proposed requesting a ceasefire, with Salem further recommending that Nasser surrender himself to British forces. Nasser berated Amer and Salem, and vowed, "Nobody is going to surrender." Nasser assumed military command. Despite the relative ease in which Sinai was occupied, Nasser's prestige at home and among Arabs was undamaged. To counterbalance the Egyptian Army's dismal performance, Nasser authorized the distribution of about 400,000 rifles to civilian volunteers and hundreds of militias were formed throughout Egypt, many led by Nasser's political opponents.
Old English developed from a set of Anglo-Frisian or North Sea Germanic dialects originally spoken by Germanic tribes traditionally known as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. As the Anglo-Saxons became dominant in England, their language replaced the languages of Roman Britain: Common Brittonic, a Celtic language, and Latin, brought to Britain by Roman invasion. Old English had four main dialects, associated with particular Anglo-Saxon kingdoms: Mercian, Northumbrian, Kentish and West Saxon. It was West Saxon that formed the basis for the literary standard of the later Old English period, although the dominant forms of Middle and Modern English would develop mainly from Mercian. The speech of eastern and northern parts of England was subject to strong Old Norse influence due to Scandinavian rule and settlement beginning in the 9th century.

Astronomers have found at least 149 moons orbiting planets in our solar system. Another 24 moons are awaiting official confirmation of their discovery. This number does not include the six moons of the dwarf planets, nor does this tally include the tiny satellites that orbit some asteroids and other celestial objects.
The light from LEDs can be modulated very quickly so they are used extensively in optical fiber and free space optics communications. This includes remote controls, such as for TVs, VCRs, and LED Computers, where infrared LEDs are often used. Opto-isolators use an LED combined with a photodiode or phototransistor to provide a signal path with electrical isolation between two circuits. This is especially useful in medical equipment where the signals from a low-voltage sensor circuit (usually battery-powered) in contact with a living organism must be electrically isolated from any possible electrical failure in a recording or monitoring device operating at potentially dangerous voltages. An optoisolator also allows information to be transferred between circuits not sharing a common ground potential.

Project MUSE - The Domestic and the Disruptive: A Musical Setting of Tennyson’s <i>Maud</i> Joanna Swafford (bio) Although critics have recently focused attention on the connections between music and poetry, few have addressed the relationship between Victorian poems and their musical song settings. The increased demand for inexpensive sheet music and pianos caused a proliferation of such settings, and much of the British public may have been more familiar with now-canonical poems through their musical versions than through the silence of the page. Because these songs were so popular and culturally significant, only by examining them can we fully understand the poems that served as their text. Michael William Balfe’s famous 1857 setting of lyric 22 of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s monodrama Maud (1855) provides an example of a setting as “a reading, in the critical as well as the performative sense of the term” ( Kramer 127 ). Although the piece can be played to sound like a naive love song, its dissonances, unexpected harmonies, and constantly shifting tonal centres subtly undercut the speaker’s sense of certainty and sanity, as does the text itself, making the song, like the poem, both participate in and disrupt the sentimental tradition. 1 In this segment of Maud, the speaker praises Maud, a young woman whom he believes promised to him from birth, and entreats her to leave a party for an illicit meeting in her garden. The poem resembles a traditional love lyric in which the speaker invokes the pastoral tradition and extols the beauty of both his beloved and his surroundings: 2 Come into the garden, Maud, For the black bat, night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud, I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad, And the musk of the rose is blown. (1–6) The speaker’s allusions to flowers and belief in his love’s strength cast the poem as part of the Victorian sentimental and domestic tradition. Balfe’s setting emphasizes this domestic, sentimental quality. It is in a major key and has a gracefully lilting melody (measures 1–11), and its repetition and ornamentation adhere to the generic conventions of the parlour song: the singer repeats the phrase “I am here at the gate alone,” as well as words and phrases such as “come” or “shine out” to dramatize the speaker’s desperation. Balfe also wrote a fermata over the word “gate” to indicate the speaker’s passion and attempts to restrain himself. In a later verse, as Robert Inglesfield points out, the speaker describes Maud as “Queen lily and rose in one” (56), an allusion to the verse in the Song of Solomon (2.1) in which the bride declares, “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys” (qtd. [End Page 28] in Inglesfield 122). This allusion conveys the speaker’s belief in his beloved’s transcendent beauty and in the Biblical perfection of their love. To portray this sentiment, the music is marked dolce and pianissimo, directions that when coupled with the harp-like arpeggios in the accompaniment, appear to render this section as the idyllic garden that the Song of Solomon describes. In the final verse, the speaker breathlessly expresses his excitement at Maud’s arrival, the anapests echoing his pounding heart: She is coming, my own, my sweet; Were it ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat, Were it earth in an earthy bed. (68–71) Balfe’s setting again performs the speaker’s emotions through a sequence of dissonances followed by resolution (measures 72–80). This pattern, marked accelerando, creates the sense of excitement and forward momentum the speaker feels, and the setting ends on a triumphant cadence that expresses joy at the lovers’ impending union. Even the circumstances in which this song would be performed emphasize a sentimental interpretation: as Derek Scott has observed, parlour songs, also known as drawing-room ballads, encompassed many different styles designed for performance in the middle-class home. They were frequently dismissed as sentimental because of their focus on love, gardens, and other such domestic themes
