Spit (card game) To begin, each player flips over the top card from their remaining pile in the center to start the two active piles. Each player plays their face-up cards in front of them placing them on either center pile in ascending or descending order. Once either player has played all cards in front of them, each center pile is open to 'slap' for the player who has finished their cards. When one player has extra cards, other than the one they are playing with, the opponent takes the bottom card and puts it in place of where the players pile would be. This card is called the mystery card. If one by the player with no more cards, the opponent is not eligible to see the mystery card. The player then plays like they would normally until they or the opponent has no cards remaining. The mystery card must be played at least once a game.

Admiral (abbreviated as ADM) is a four-star commissioned naval flag officer rank in the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, and the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, with the pay grade of O-10. Admiral ranks above vice admiral and below fleet admiral in the Navy; the Coast Guard and the Public Health Service do not have an established grade above admiral. Admiral is equivalent to the rank of general in the other uniformed services. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps has never had an officer hold the grade of admiral. However, /201 § 201 of the U.S. Code established the grade for the NOAA Corps, in case a position is created that merits the four-star grade.
Hunting along migration routes threatens some bird species. The populations of Siberian cranes (Leucogeranus leucogeranus) that wintered in India declined due to hunting along the route, particularly in Afghanistan and Central Asia. Birds were last seen in their favourite wintering grounds in Keoladeo National Park in 2002. Structures such as power lines, wind farms and offshore oil-rigs have also been known to affect migratory birds. Other migration hazards include pollution, storms, wildfires, and habitat destruction along migration routes, denying migrants food at stopover points. For example, in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, up to 65% of key intertidal habitat at the Yellow Sea migration bottleneck has been destroyed since the 1950s.

Pressure & Heart Rate Pressure & Heart Rate Submitted by Thiruvelan on 24 Jun 2010 \| Last updated 3 April 2017Ads by Google Blood pressure and heart rate are two different entity, but are closely related. The heart rate is the number of times the heart beats in a minute. Blood pressure is the measurement of the blood force against the arterial walls. Blood pressure Vs Heart rate What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries to maintain healthy blood circulation to the entire body. The measuring unit for blood pressure is mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). The reading includes two numbers; systolic pressure (pressure when the heart contracts) and diastolic pressure (pressure when the heart rests). The optimal blood pressure is 110/70 mm Hg and the normal blood pressure (among most healthy individuals) is 120/80 mm Hg. What is a heart rate? Heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute to fulfill energy needs of every cell in your body from head to feet. It is a single number, the measuring unit for heart rate is BPM (beats per minute). The normal healthy heartbeat is 60 BPM. The normal resting heart rate in adults is 60 to 90 BPM. Athletes often have been resting heart rates of below 60 BPM. The low pulse rate in athletes is due to their ability to pump a higher volume of blood per beat (i.e. higher stroke volume). Elevate heart rate has an associated with elevated blood pressure, increased risk for development of hypertension & diabetes and all-cause mortality. In the HARVEST study, 15 % of hypertensive patients had a resting heart rate over 85 beats per minute, and approximately 27 % had a heart rate over 80 beats per minute. Reference: Role of elevated heart rate in the development of cardiovascular disease in hypertension. Hypertension. 2011 Nov; 58 (5):745-50. There is no direct correlation between blood pressure and heart rate (or pulse rate). High pulse rate does not mean to indicate hypertension. For people with hypertension, heart rate will not be a substitute for measuring blood pressure. Elevation in heart rate does not cause your blood pressure to elevate at the same proportion, why. It is because even though your heart beat raises; healthy blood vessels dilate (expands) to permit more blood to flow easily. It is possible for your heart rate to double with only a modest rise in blood pressure. In a large study in China, those who had a high-normal resting heart rate of 80 bpm to 90 bpm had a 40 percent shorter lifespan than those with a desirable heart rate of 60 bpm to 69 bpm. Exercise, Emotion, Heart rate and Blood pressure State of minds such as anxiety, frustration, anger, fear, anticipation of pain and negative emotional states can bring about elevations in heart rate. Positive psychological states such as excitement, joy, and interest can also bring elevations in heart rate. During exercise, it is even possible to double your heart beat rate. Exercise increases your heart rate to facilitate extra blood, nutrients, and oxygen to your exercising muscles. Intense exercise steeply increase your heart rate than moderate exercise. Those who do not exercise have higher heart rate compared to a fit person. After finishing exercise, your heart rate stays high until your body recovers. Fit person’s heart rate returns to the resting heart rate quickly compared to an unfit person. When exercising, heart’s contraction increases along with heart rate that is more blood pumped per beat this increases blood pressure. Blood vessels dilate during exercise to enable increased blood flow to the muscles and this help normalize blood pressure. Exercise strengthen your muscles, heart, and improves the health of the blood vessels. After regular exercising for months, your resting heart rate will drop because your heart becomes stronger and thus pumps efficiently. Additionally, exercise has blood pressure lowering effect in either with or without hypertension. Ads by Google RELATED POSTS
Florence Wix, also known as Flo Wix (May 16, 1883 – November 23, 1956) was an English-born American character actress who worked from the 1920s in silent films through sound films of the 1950s. Born on May 16, 1883 in Hertfordshire in England, she would make her screen debut in the 1924 film "Secrets", starring Betty Compson and Noah Beery.

EX LIBRIS: Commonplace Books by K . - issuu issuu “COMMONPLACE BOOKS” h!p://grr.aaaaarg.org/txt/collection/detail.php?id=52333d4d307888cb75000006 15 September 2013 and ongoing A curatorial- editorial experiment by Anna-Sophie Springer Dating back to antiquity and with particular popularity in the Renaissance period, commonplace books are a type of scholarly notebook containing a collection of excerpted and copied passages that a person compiled and stored for future purposes such as reference and quotation. How to actually keep and organize a commonplace book was a small science in itself. John Locke’s text A New Method of Making Common-Place-Books (1706) suggested some techniques—one of which is a system of classifying and coding entries into a growing subject index, one’s personal potential encyclopedia. While physical notebooks remain a treasure to keep and even if we do not yet live in a truly paperless age, our commonplace of today is that we access and store a huge amount of information digitally. By engaging an online pirate library, specifically the Arg library, “Commonplace Books” seeks to address shi"s in how we approach notions such as the “common” or the “public” more openly and actively than ever. The imaginary is not formed in opposition to reality as its denial or compensation; it grows among signs, from book to book, in the interstice of repetitions and commentaries; it is born and takes shape in the interval between books. It is a phenomenon of the library. ~ Michel Foucault A PDF has been created from excerpted and copied passages of thematically relevant publications available in digital form in the Arg library. It has been uploaded back onto the platform and a link will appear in the “New Texts” section on h!p://grr.aaaaarg.org making it available to all network users. This book made available by the Internet Archive. Is it not possible to reexamine, as a legitimate extension of this kind of analysis, the privileges of the subject? Clearly, in undertaking an internal and architectonic analysis of a work (whether it be a literary text, a philosophical system, or a scientific work) and in delimiting psychological and biographical references, suspicions arise concerning the absolute nature and creative role of the subject. But the subject should not be entirely abandoned. It should be reconsidered, not to restore the theme of an originating subject, but to seize its functions, its intervention in discourse, and its system of dependencies. We should suspend the typical questions: how does a free subject penetrate the density of things and endow them with meaning; how does it accomplish its design by animating the rules of discourse from within? Rather, we should ask: under what conditions and through what forms can an entity like the subject appear in the order of discourse; what position does it occupy; what functions does it exhibit; and what rules does it follow in each type of discourse? In short, the subject (and its substitutes) must be stripped of its creative role and analysed as a complex and variable function of discourse. The authorâ€”or what I have called the 'author-function'â€”is undoubtedly only one of the possible specifications of the subject and, considering past historical transformations, it appears that the form, the complexity, and even the existence of this function are far from immutable. We can easily imagine a culture where discourse would circulate without any need for an author. Discourses, whatever their status, form, or value, and regardless of our manner of handling them, would unfold in a pervasive anonymity. No longer the tiresome repetitions: ' W h o is the real author?' 'Have we proof of his authenticity and originality?' 'What has he revealed of his most profound self in his language?' New questions will be heard: 'What are the modes of existence of this discourse?' 'Where does it come from; how is it circulated; who controls it?' 'What placements are determined for possible subjects?' ' W h o can fulfill these diverse functions of the subjec

In 1952, Thomas Watson, Sr., stepped down after almost 40 years at the company helm; his son, Thomas Watson, Jr., was named president. In 1956, the company demonstrated the first practical example of artificial intelligence when Arthur L. Samuel of IBM's Poughkeepsie, New York, laboratory programmed an IBM 704 not merely to play checkers but "learn" from its own experience. In 1957, the FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation) scientific programming language was developed. In 1961, Thomas J. Watson, Jr., was elected chairman of the board and Albert L. Williams became company president. The same year IBM developed the SABRE (Semi-Automatic Business-Related Environment) reservation system for American Airlines and introduced the highly successful Selectric typewriter.

Neurons carry impulses from one place to another, around the many parts of the nervous system. They connect receptors to the central nervous system and also connect one part of the nervous system to another, for example in the brain and spinal cord. They also carry impulses from the nervous system to effector organs, such as muscles and glands. When neurons are stimulated they transmit an electrical impulse. The diagram below shows a motor neuron. It has a nucleus [nucleus: The central part of an atom.

Human brain The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. It is divided into two cerebral hemispheres. The cerebral cortex is an outer layer of grey matter, covering the core of white matter. The cortex is split into the neocortex and the much smaller allocortex. The neocortex is made up of six neuronal layers, while the allocortex has three or four. Each hemisphere is conventionally divided into four lobes â€“ the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions including self-control, planning, reasoning, and abstract thought, while the occipital lobe is dedicated to vision. Within each lobe, cortical areas are associated with specific functions, such as the sensory, motor and association regions. Although the left and right hemispheres are broadly similar in shape and function, some functions are associated with one side, such as language in the left and visual-spatial ability in the right. The hemispheres are connected by commissural nerve tracts, the largest being the corpus callosum.

Bonus Army Bonus Army was the popular name for an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers—17,000 U.S. World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups—who gathered in Washington, D.C. in the summer of 1932 to demand cash-payment redemption of their service certificates. Organizers called the demonstrators the "Bonus Expeditionary Force", to echo the name of World War I's American Expeditionary Forces, while the media referred to them as the "Bonus Army" or "Bonus Marchers". The contingent was led by Walter W. Waters, a former sergeant.

Gas chamber As of 2010, the last person to be executed in the gas chamber was German national Walter LaGrand, sentenced to death before 1992, who was executed in Arizona on March 3, 1999. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had ruled that he could not be executed by gas chamber, but the decision was overturned by the United States Supreme Court.[16] The gas chamber was formerly used in Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina and Oregon. Six states, Arizona, California, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri and Wyoming, authorize lethal gas if lethal injection cannot be administered, the condemned committed their crime before a certain date, or the condemned chooses to die in the gas chamber.[21] In October 2010, Governor of New York David Paterson signed a bill rendering gas chambers illegal for use by humane societies and other animal shelters.[22]

National Maximum Speed Law Congress lifted all federal speed limit controls in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, returning all speed limit determination authority to the states effective December 8, 1995. Several states immediately reverted to already existing laws. For example, most Texas rural limits that were above 55 mph (90 km/h) in 1974 immediately reverted to 70 mph (115 km/h), causing some legal confusion before the new signs were posted. Montana reverted to non-numerical speed limits on most rural highways, although its legislature adopted 75 mph (120 km/h) as a limit in 1999; as a result, according to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety researcher Anne McCartt, "What's impressive is the huge drop in the percent of vehicles going very fast...The proportion of vehicles exceeding 75 mph, the limit set [by Montana] in 1999, tumbled 45 percent. The proportion surpassing 80 mph plummeted 85 percent. Large trucks slowed, too." (She did not mention that the IIHS survey of traffic speeds on Interstate highways in 2006 she referred to, found Montana, as compared with New Mexico and Nevada, had the highest compliance with the 75 mph speed limit on rural interstates: 76 percent.)[51] Hawaii was the last state to raise its speed limit when, in response to public outcry after an experiment with traffic enforcement cameras in 2002, it raised the maximum speed limit on parts of Interstates H-1 and H-3 to 60 mph (95 km/h).[52]

Shimon Attie (born Los Angeles in 1957 ) is an American visual artist. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008, The Rome Prize in 2001 and a Visual Artist Fellowship from Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute for Advance Study in 2007. His work spans a variety of media, including photography, site-specific installation, multiple channel immersive video installation, performance, and new media. Much of Attie’s practice explores how a wide range of contemporary media may be used to re-imagine new relationships between space, time, place, and identity. Much, though not all, of Attie’s work in the 90s dealt with the history of the second world war. He first garnered significant international attention by slide projecting images of past Jewish life onto contemporary locations in Berlin. More recent projects have involved using a range of media to engage local communities to find new ways of representing their history, memory and potential futures. Attie’s artworks and interventions are site-specific and immersive in nature, and tend to engage subject matter that is both social, political and psychological. In 2013, Five monographs have been published on Attie's work, which has also been the subject of a number of films, which have aired on PBS, BBC, and ARD. Since receiving his MFA Degree in 1991, Attie has realized approximately 25 major projects in ten countries around the world. Most recently, in 2013-14, Shimon Attie was awarded the Lee Krasner Lifetime Achievement Award in Art.

Koopa Troopas, or just simply Koopas, known in Japan as Nokonoko (ノコノコ ) , are a fictional race of turtle or tortoise-like creatures from the "Mario" series, as well as its sister "Yoshi" series. Although the term 'Koopa' is a blanket term for the entire species of anthropomorphic turtles in the series, to which creatures such as Lakitu, Hammer Bros. and even Bowser belong, the term is often used to refer colloquially to this particular enemy. First appearing in the 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System game "Super Mario Bros.", they are among the oldest recurring enemies in the series, and have appeared in some form in all of the main games, and most of the spin-off games. When defeated, Koopas may flee from or retreat inside their shells, which can then usually be used as weapons. Shellcreepers are a different species, according to their trophy in "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U". Koopa shells are a recurring weapon in the series, particularly popularized in the "Mario Kart" series, in which they can be fired as projectiles against other racers. Despite making up the bulk of Bowser's army, known as the "Koopa Troop", Koopas as a species are often shown to be peaceful, some even teaming up with Mario. An undead Koopa Troopa becomes a Dry Bones.

Fertilization Fertilization Fertilization occurs when a live sperm penetrates the newly released mature egg successfully and cell division starts. The woman has now conceived – the embryo is growing!During sexual intercourse, millions of sperm are released into the vagina and move through cervix to uterus and fallopian tubes. Hormones during ovulation change the cervical mucus – it becomes watery allowing the sperm to swim up the vagina through the cervix. At other times the mucus is more viscous and unreceptive to sperm. Only about 2,000 sperm will be strong enough to reach the uterus and the fallopian tube. The timing of sexual intercourse is very important for fertilization to occur. The egg can only be fertilized for about 18-24 hours after it is released, so sperm must be present in the fallopian tubes around the time of ovulation. Man’s sperm can only survive approximately (average) 3-5 days so a woman’s fertile time will only be around 5-6 days every month, with the most fertile time being the 2-3 days up to and including ovulation. Fertilization Research suggests that even if intercourse takes place at the right time a normal healthy couple may still only have a 30-50% chance of fertilization and pregnancy occurring. Once fertilized, an egg normally takes a few days to travel into the womb where it will need to implant itself in order for a viable pregnancy to begin. If this implantation happens the pregnancy hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (h CG) starts to be produced. This hormone is vital for the maintenance of the lining of the womb and the new embryo and the amount of hormone produced rises rapidly, doubling approximately every two days, reaching a peak 60 to 80 days after conception. Soon after conception tiny amounts of this hormone can be detected in a woman’s urine and this is what the early pregnancy test kits measure. Chances for getting pregnant for healthy couples who had intercourse during ovulation are 50/50. So don’t be discouraged if pregnancy does not occur after the first month of trying. Fertilization Important Steps Ovulation. The ovulation process is crucial for fertilization to take place. Ovulation is fully developed and controlled by hormones – it is pretty complicated hormonal interactions involving a variety of endocrine glands. Tubal function must also be adequate or the ovum will not be picked up by the fallopian tube to be fertilized within the ampulla. Women are fertile for about 24-48 hours around the time of ovulation (before and after ovulation). Sperm. In most ideal conditions which include ideal vaginal, cervical and uterine environments; fertile eggs, strong sperm health, etc. – sperm may be able to survive during 6-7 days. Sperm can remain fertile in the female reproductive tract for about 48 hours, although this can be quite variable. Fertilization. Following ovulation, the ovum is picked up by the fimbria of the fallopian tube. It remains in the ampulla portion of the tube (in average during 18-24 hours). Healthy sperm usually “wait” in fallopian tube for healthy egg (in average 48 hours). One sperm penetrates the zona pellucida (egg). If fertilization does not occur, the ovum disintegrates and is destroyed by the tube. Implantation. After fertilization occurs, the ovum remains in the fallopian tube for about 72 hours. During this time there several cellular divisions are happening, but the size of the fertilized ovum does not increase. Around 72 hours the zona pellucida fragments and falls away. The ovum enters the uterine cavity for 60 to 72 more hours, and the central cavity begins to form. A definite cell mass is formed on one side of the blastocyst by the time implantation occurs. The trophoblast cells burrow into the endometrial stroma to form syncytiotrophoblast. Primitive amniotic and chorionic cavities begin to form, and a germ disk is recognizable soon after implantation. Fertilization Fertilization – Important facts to remember Fertilization happens in one of the fallopian tubes, which carries an egg from an ovary to the uterus. It can take up to seven days after intercourse for sperm and egg to join and become a fertilized egg. Usually, it’s because the sperm gets into the fallopian tube before the egg is released. How Long After Ejaculation Sperm Live (From Wiki Answers): Sperm exposed to room air on clothing, bed linens or toilet seats lose motility (the ability to swim) rapidly. Once the semen dries out, the sperms are usually dead. If the semen is near the woman and no fertile fluid is present, they will die within a few hours outside the body. If semen is spilled on the external genitals (not in the vagina) they can swim to enter the vagina. Thus they travel from outside the body to inside. Inside the body sperms can survive for 72 hours or more. Half of them perish in 1 to 5 hours journey inside. Note that this half is more than 60 million sperms. That said, you should take basic caution after sex that you’ve cleaned up any big splashes on her or around her. Matched Links from Women Info Sites / Google

The Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai (NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation) began conducting research to "unlock the fundamental mechanism of video and sound interactions with the five human senses" in 1964, after the Tokyo Olympics. NHK set out to create an HDTV system that ended up scoring much higher in subjective tests than NTSC's previously dubbed "HDTV". This new system, NHK Color, created in 1972, included 1125 lines, a 5:3 aspect ratio and 60 Hz refresh rate. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), headed by Charles Ginsburg, became the testing and study authority for HDTV technology in the international theater. SMPTE would test HDTV systems from different companies from every conceivable perspective, but the problem of combining the different formats plagued the technology for many years.
Once a neuron is in place, it extends dendrites and an axon into the area around it. Axons, because they commonly extend a great distance from the cell body and need to reach specific targets, grow in a particularly complex way. The tip of a growing axon consists of a blob of protoplasm called a growth cone, studded with chemical receptors. These receptors sense the local environment, causing the growth cone to be attracted or repelled by various cellular elements, and thus to be pulled in a particular direction at each point along its path. The result of this pathfinding process is that the growth cone navigates through the brain until it reaches its destination area, where other chemical cues cause it to begin generating synapses. Considering the entire brain, thousands of genes create products that influence axonal pathfinding.

Following the completion of his PhD in 1942, Feynman held an appointment at the University of Wisconsin–Madison as an assistant professor of physics. The appointment was spent on leave for his involvement in the Manhattan project. In 1945, he received a letter from Dean Mark Ingraham of the College of Letters and Science requesting his return to UW to teach in the coming academic year. His appointment was not extended when he did not commit to return. In a talk given several years later at UW, Feynman quipped, "It's great to be back at the only university that ever had the good sense to fire me."

SparkNotes: Animal Farm: Plot Overview Plot Overview Context Character List Old Major, a prize-winning boar, gathers the animals of the Manor Farm for a meeting in the big barn. He tells them of a dream he has had in which all animals live together with no human beings to oppress or control them. He tells the animals that they must work toward such a paradise and teaches them a song called “Beasts of England,” in which his dream vision is lyrically described. The animals greet Major’s vision with great enthusiasm. When he dies only three nights after the meeting, three younger pigs—Snowball, Napoleon, and Squealer—formulate his main principles into a philosophy called Animalism. Late one night, the animals manage to defeat the farmer Mr. Jones in a battle, running him off the land. They rename the property Animal Farm and dedicate themselves to achieving Major’s dream. The cart-horse Boxer devotes himself to the cause with particular zeal, committing his great strength to the prosperity of the farm and adopting as a personal maxim the affirmation “I will work harder.” At first, Animal Farm prospers. Snowball works at teaching the animals to read, and Napoleon takes a group of young puppies to educate them in the principles of Animalism. When Mr. Jones reappears to take back his farm, the animals defeat him again, in what comes to be known as the Battle of the Cowshed, and take the farmer’s abandoned gun as a token of their victory. As time passes, however, Napoleon and Snowball increasingly quibble over the future of the farm, and they begin to struggle with each other for power and influence among the other animals. Snowball concocts a scheme to build an electricity-generating windmill, but Napoleon solidly opposes the plan. At the meeting to vote on whether to take up the project, Snowball gives a passionate speech. Although Napoleon gives only a brief retort, he then makes a strange noise, and nine attack dogs—the puppies that Napoleon had confiscated in order to “educate”—burst into the barn and chase Snowball from the farm. Napoleon assumes leadership of Animal Farm and declares that there will be no more meetings. From that point on, he asserts, the pigs alone will make all of the decisions—for the good of every animal. Napoleon now quickly changes his mind about the windmill, and the animals, especially Boxer, devote their efforts to completing it. One day, after a storm, the animals find the windmill toppled. The human farmers in the area declare smugly that the animals made the walls too thin, but Napoleon claims that Snowball returned to the farm to sabotage the windmill. He stages a great purge, during which various animals who have allegedly participated in Snowball’s great conspiracy—meaning any animal who opposes Napoleon’s uncontested leadership—meet instant death at the teeth of the attack dogs. With his leadership unquestioned (Boxer has taken up a second maxim, “Napoleon is always right”), Napoleon begins expanding his powers, rewriting history to make Snowball a villain. Napoleon also begins to act more and more like a human being—sleeping in a bed, drinking whisky, and engaging in trade with neighboring farmers. The original Animalist principles strictly forbade such activities, but Squealer, Napoleon’s propagandist, justifies every action to the other animals, convincing them that Napoleon is a great leader and is making things better for everyone—despite the fact that the common animals are cold, hungry, and overworked. Mr. Frederick, a neighboring farmer, cheats Napoleon in the purchase of some timber and then attacks the farm and dynamites the windmill, which had been rebuilt at great expense. After the demolition of the windmill, a pitched battle ensues, during which Boxer receives major wounds. The animals rout the farmers, but Boxer’s injuries weaken him. When he later falls while working on the windmill, he senses that his time has nearly come. One day, Boxer is nowhere to be found. According to Squealer, Boxer has died in peace after having been taken to the hospital, praising the Rebellion w
The Philosophy of Freedom Steiner argues that thinking is more pervasive in our ordinary perceiving than we often recognize. If, for example, we had not as infants learned, unconsciously, to think with our eyes and limbs, then our eyes, even if functioning perfectly in a physical sense, would see only something like what the philosopher William James referred to as a "blooming buzzing confusion,” or what Steiner referred to as a highly chaotic stage of the “given.” We would not perceive spatial or temporal structure or recognize distinct qualities. If that conclusion seems surprising, that is because the thinking-in-perceiving learned in childhood becomes habitual and automatic long before we attain fully consciousness, so we rarely become aware of the key role cognition plays in even the simplest perceptions. Similarly, we are unconscious of the ways we perceive our thinking.

Arthurian Knights: Arthurs Battles Arthurian Knights To come together around the table of equality to discuss all aspects of Arthurian Fact and Fiction Monday, 9 March 2009 Arthurs Battles The Battle of Camlannis is King Arthur's final battle, in which he is mortally wounded by his his nephew Mordred. The story recalls that Arthur and his forces were away in Europe fighting (according to earlier sources) Emperor Lucius or (according to later sources) fighting Lancelot. When Arthur landed back in England, a series of battles ensued that climaxed with the Battle of Camlann. Both Arthur and Mordred are mortally wounded in this battle, but Arthur's army triumphed in the end. While Camlann, Arthur's last battle, is not part of the battle list, it was a battle that was fought in Britain. The battle of Camlann is first mentioned in the Annales Cambriae (ca. 960-980). The name Camlann has a number of possible locations. It is said to have taken place by a river, and the prefix Cam means crooked. The battle probably took place, then, near a crooked river. Slaughter Bridge in Cornwall. Wace, like Geoffrey, speaks of this site in Cornwall as being the final battle Fort Camboglanna (Castlesteads) on Hadrian's Wall. This was one of several Hadrian's Wall forts that saw heavy fighting during the Caledonian invasion. It does not fit with the earliest historic references which refer to Cornwall. Welsh area around Cader Idris. Cader Idris means the Chair of Idris (a legendary giant). The mountain ridge lies near the town of Dolgellau, but its only connection to the Battle of Camlann are the nearby Camlan and Gamlan rivers. Gamlan River is very near the Camlan valley and Cader Idris, also in mid Wales. River Allen runs through the town of Bridge of Allen, just north of Stirling in Scotland. If you accept that Arthur was Scottish, this is a possible site of the final battle. Various stories differ on how the battle started. Geoffrey of Monmouth's account is of a normal battle--both sides lined up and then charged into battle. In many other sources, though, the battle is set of by misunderstanding. Malory makes the beginning of the battle a complete misunderstanding: A knight is bitten by an adder, he draws his sword to kill the snake, and when others saw his drawn sword a battle resulted by mistake. Nennius records that King Arthur fought twelve major battles. The texts of Nennius (AD 796), the Easter Annals, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle point to where these battles were geographically, but as in most things to do with King Arthur, there is room for debate as to where events really took place. This list is believed not to be chronological. And the rhyming names in Nennius' original work, indicates that he probably took his list from a rhyming-poem. Nennius could well have taken names from a number of unrelated sources. Some scholars believe that the Roman commander, Lucius Artorius Castus, and King Arthur point to them being the same person when you examine this battle record. Nennius' list is

Do They Know It's Christmas? "Do They Know It's Christmas?" is a song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in reaction to television reports of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was first recorded in a single day on 25 November 1984 by Band Aid, a supergroup put together by Geldof and Ure and consisting mainly of the biggest British and Irish musical acts at the time.[1] The single was released in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1984[2] and aided by considerable publicity it entered the UK Singles Chart at number one and stayed there for five weeks, becoming the Christmas number one of 1984. The record became the fastest selling single in UK chart history, selling a million copies in the first week alone and passing 3 million on the last day of 1984,[3] on the way to displacing Wings's "Mull of Kintyre" as the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK.[4] It held this title until 1997 when it was overtaken by Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997", released in tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales following her death.[5] The original version of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" has sold 3.8 million copies in the UK to date.[6]

Thus, only in 1944 did the U.S. Navy begin to use its 150 submarines to maximum effect: installing effective shipboard radar, replacing commanders deemed lacking in aggression, and fixing the faults in the torpedoes. Japanese commerce protection was "shiftless beyond description,"[nb 14] and convoys were poorly organized and defended compared to Allied ones, a product of flawed IJN doctrine and training – errors concealed by American faults as much as Japanese overconfidence. The number of U.S. submarines patrols (and sinkings) rose steeply: 350 patrols (180 ships sunk) in 1942, 350 (335) in 1943, and 520 (603) in 1944. By 1945, sinkings of Japanese vessels had decreased because so few targets dared to venture out on the high seas. In all, Allied submarines destroyed 1,200 merchant ships – about five million tons of shipping. Most were small cargo-carriers, but 124 were tankers bringing desperately needed oil from the East Indies. Another 320 were passenger ships and troop transports. At critical stages of the Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Leyte campaigns, thousands of Japanese troops were killed or diverted from where they were needed. Over 200 warships were sunk, ranging from many auxiliaries and destroyers to one battleship and no fewer than eight carriers.

Pituitary Tumors Conditions: Pituitary Tumors Summary Treatments Symptoms The vast majority of pituitary tumors are benign (non-cancerous), but can be difficult to treat and cause a wide range of serious health problems. It is estimated that as many as one in every five people worldwide has a pituitary tumor, but many remain undiagnosed, either causing no symptoms or causing “non-specific” symptoms resulting from hormonal abnormalities. Pituitary tumors tend to grow slowly, rarely spreading to other areas; these tumors can go undetected until they begin to press against the pituitary gland or other critical structures. The pituitary is a pea-size gland surrounded by bone that is situated behind the nose at the base of the cranium (skull). Its location makes the gland and related structures difficult to reach surgically. The pituitary gland is a major component of the endocrine system, which produces and regulates hormones – chemicals that influence organs and basic body functions. The pituitary gland is often referred to as the body’s master gland; it secretes hormones into the bloodstream that control other hormone-secreting glands in the body. Actually, the pituitary is controlled by the hypothalamus, a small structure on the underside of the brain that serves as the control center to monitor and regulate a body’s basic functions. One way it does this is by controlling release of hormones from the pituitary into the bloodstream. A fluctuation in the delicate balance of hormones can have a cascading effect throughout the body. The pituitary consists of two major parts: a larger front (anterior) lobe and a smaller back (posterior) lobe, which is connected to the hypothalamus at the pituitary stalk, or infundibulum. The hypothalamus communicates with the posterior pituitary through nerve fibers extending through the pituitary stalk to produce two hormones: Oxytocin causes the uterus to contract during childbirth and stimulates milk ducts in the breasts. Vasopressin, or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water retention in the kidneys. The hypothalamus communicates with the anterior lobe through the release of certain hormones into a network of small blood vessels. These hypothalamic hormones control the release of hormones produced in the anterior lobe, which include: Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal glands to produce a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol plays a key role in response to stress and has widespread effects on numerous body systems. Growth hormone (GH) stimulates growth and cell reproduction. In excess, growth hormone can cause gigantism if it begins in childhood, or a condition called acromegaly with adult onset. Growth hormone deficiency in childhood may cause short stature and other problems, such as delayed onset of puberty, while adults with a deficiency may develop obesity, loss of muscle mass and decrease in energy. Prolactin stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) influence a variety of reproductive processes. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the thyroid gland and affects temperature tolerance, energy, body weight, bowel regularity, and skin health. Common Pituitary Tumors A few rare hereditary disorders, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, Carney complex, and familial acromegaly, may increase risk, but most pituitary tumors occur for reasons not yet known. Common tumors or disorders found in the pituitary region include: Pituitary Adenomas Typically benign tumors, adenomas often press on the pituitary gland, causing loss of function of one or more hormones. Many pituitary adenomas are called “functioning tumors” because they actually make hormones and may cause an increase in hormone levels instead of a decrease. Craniopharyngiomas Usually benign, these tumors can still be challenging. Craniopharyngiomas are often located above the pituitary gland or next to the pituitary stalk, the structure at the back of the gland that connects to the hypothalamus. It is not uncommon for craniopharyngiomas to grow to a large size before being detected. Rathke’s cleft cysts are benign growths filled with fluid and found in an indentation (Rathke’s cleft) between the front and back lobe of the pituitary gland. Rathke’s cleft cysts do not make hormones and frequently exist without causing symptoms. At Cedar's Sinai Medical Center, many medical and surgical specialists work together to plan, coordinate and carry out a treatment approach to address the unique challenges that a pituitary tumor presents. In addition to choosing the best option for treating the tumor itself, this multidisciplinary team, which includes experts from Cedars-Sinai’s Pituitary Center, works to restore balance to hormones that may have been out of control for years, while treating serious conditions caused by irregular hormones. Among the leading programs of its kind, the Pituitary Center conducts research and clinical trials to develop new treatments for patients suffering from endocrine disorders. Surgical approaches for pituitary tumors have evolved substantially since the introduction of the endoscope for surgery inside the skull. The endoscope consists of a camera lens at the tip of a long tube, which is inserted through a nostril to enter the skull base via the sphenoid sinus, located deep within the cranium below the pituitary gland. This “endoscopic transsphenoidal approach” is available only at a few specialized pituitary centers in the nation. A decade ago, neurosurgeons removing pituitary tumors typically used a large, bulky surgical microscope and entered through an incision under the lip, causing significant damage to nasal structures. But the nostril is a very narrow corridor, and the microscope is a large, fixed instrument that requires the surgeon to work at a greater distance. The surgical microscope is still used, but today, some surgeons utilize an endoscope for a nasal approach to tumor removal. The endoscope is more maneuverable, fits within the nostril and provides the surgeon a panoramic view of the surgical site. The endoscopic procedure leaves no visible scars and because there is so little tissue destruction, the nose rarely needs to be packed to prevent post-surgical bleeding. Open brain surgery (craniotomy) is still needed in some instances, when a tumor is located in a position that is not accessible endoscopically; but many operations that once could be performed only with open surgery can now be accomplished in a minimally invasive procedure. In some cases, surgery will be followed by focused radiation therapy, which may be referred to as radiosurgery or radiotherapy. Although terminology sometimes overlaps, radiosurgery is accomplished with a single, high dose of radiation, while radiotherapy usually consists of “fractionated” treatments delivered in smaller doses over a period of days or weeks. The goal of either approach is to bombard the tumor with a destructive dose of radiation while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Cedars-Sinai’s treatment teams have several advanced options for focused radiation treatment. For tumors within the cranium, the Gamma Knife® is an extremely precise system that uses up to 201 separate beams of radiation converging at a single point. A Leading Center for Treatment of Brain and Cranial Base Tumors With state-of-the art technology and facilities, Cedars-Sinai’s Brain Tumor Center is among the nation’s top referral centers. We emphasize patient-centered collaboration among physicians and surgeons from a wide variety of specialty fields, and the experience and expertise of neurosurgeons specializing in complex and challenging tumor-removal surgery. Basic scientific research conducted at the Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute is translated into clinical trials at the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Brain Tumor Center. Cedars-Sinai is ranked among the nation’s leaders for Neurology and Neurosurgical services in U. S. News and World Report’s annual list of America’s Best Hospitals. For more than 20 years, Los Angeles area residents have named Cedars-Sinai the “most preferred hospital for all health needs,” according to National Research Corporation’s annual Healthcare Market Guide survey. While symptoms of a pituitary-region tumor may be similar to those of other tumors expanding within the cranium, symptoms can be even more complex and confusing because of hormone abnormalities. With the endocrine system’s influence over virtually every basic process, a tumor may cause mood changes, sexual and reproductive problems, memory loss, eating disorders, unusual hair growth and many other symptoms. An individual’s specific symptoms are determined by which hormones are over-produced or under-produced, or which structures, such as the optic nerves, are compressed.back to top Causes & Risks

Pictures Of Matchstick Men by Status Quo Songfacts Pictures Of Matchstick Men by Status Quo Songfacts Songfacts The group's lead singer Francis Rossi wrote this song - he was still a teenager and it was just the second tune he had ever composed. Like many of his later songs, this one is about a woman who treats him wrong ("You make men cry, you lie"). In our interview with Rossi , he explained: "'Matchstick Men' was basically about my ex-wife. I'd just got married, and I thought, Oh, this is a mistake, what have I done?" This was Status Quo's debut hit in the UK and their only hit in America. It was originally intended to be a B-side to "Gentleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe," but at the last minute they decided to swap the B-side and the A-side of the single. Status Quo are best known in Britain for their no-nonsense, heads-down boogie rock which they have played since the 1970s, but this psychedelic effort is their best-known hit in America, where it is a staple of oldies radio. When the song hit the American charts, the group made the fateful decision to remain in Europe, focusing their efforts on the UK market. This paid off with wild success in their homeland, as Status Quo became one of the most popular bands in Britain, charting over 60 singles. They did tour the US in the mid-'70s, but never broke the American market. Their only other chart entry there was "Ice in the Sun," released later in 1968. Lead singer Francis Rossi wrote three-quarters of this song on the toilet, where he'd fled to escape his wife and mother-in-law. The remainder he finished off in the lounge. This song was inspired by the matchstick men paintings of L.S. Lowry (1887-1976). Lowry was an English painter who became famous for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of northern England during the middle of the 20th century. They were peopled with spindly human figures who looked like matchstick men. L.S. Lowry inspired another hit song, Brian and Michael's 1978 UK chart topper "Matchstalk Men and Matchstalk Cats and Dogs," which was a tribute to the then recently deceased Lowry's life. Also in 2006 the Manchester Rock band Oasis paid tribute to Lowry with the new music video for " The Masterplan " single. The video, which was done to promote their new greatest hits CD, was done in the style of Lowry's matchstick men paintings. It took a while for Jimi Hendrix to catch on in America, but his 1966 single " Hey Joe " was a big hit in the UK, and a huge influence on many British guitarists. Francis Rossi was one of the many who were enthralled by the song, and when he wrote "Matchstick Men," he used a similar chord sequence, which would be lifted many times hence. "Lots of Oasis stuff are of that ilk and of that sequence," Rossi told us. "Chord sequences seem to come and go, become fashionable and unfashionable, but the favorite is the one with the 1/6/2/4 with the excellent minor in it." Camper Van Beethoven covered this on their 1989 Key Lime Pie CD and it topped Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. Their vocalist at the time, David Lowery, shared nearly the same last name with the artist who did the matchstick men paintings: L.S. Lowry. If you picked up traces of this song in Status Quo's 1974 #1 UK hit " Down Down ," that's because they used the intro to "Matchstick Men" as the basis for the verse melody. Francis Rossi explained that he realized after he wrote it that he had stolen from his own song. In 2002, Death in Vegas had a #14 hit in the UK with their track "Scorpio Rising," which featured Liam Gallagher from Oasis on vocals. The song was so similar to "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" that Status Quo were credited as co-writers.
The Liga Colombiana de Radioaficionados (LCRA) (in English Colombian Amateur Radio League) is a national non-profit organization for amateur radio enthusiasts in Colombia. The organization was founded in 1933 by Italo Amore, Gustavo Uribe, Roberto Jaramillo Ferro, and other radio enthusiasts. At the time, all radio transmissions were authorized by the Ministry of Posts, who opposed a private amateur radio service. With LCRA lobbying efforts, private radio broadcasts were authorized in Colombia in 1936, and amateur radio was first licensed in Colombia in 1939.

Tristan und Isolde Following the war, another classic recording is the 1952 performance at the Bayreuth Festival with Martha Mödl and Ramón Vinay under Herbert von Karajan, which is noted for its strong, vivid characterizations and is now available as a live recording. In the 1960s, the soprano Birgit Nilsson was considered the major Isolde interpreter, and she was often partnered with the Tristan of Wolfgang Windgassen. Their performance at Bayreuth in 1966 under the baton of Karl Böhm was captured by Deutsche Grammophon – a performance often hailed as one of the best "Tristan" recordings.

Dad's Army uncovered: 35 things you need to know about the BBC comedy classic - Mirror Online TV Dad's Army uncovered: 35 things you need to know about the BBC comedy classic It has been 35 years since Dad's Army finished its original telly run - check out our essential need to know facts about the comedy favourite Share Get celebs updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email Despite its original run ending 35 yesterday, Dad’s Army still has a prominent pride of place in British TV history. More than just a comedy, few other shows have contributed as many immediately recognisable moments that are remembered so fondly across all ages. So are the show's stars - Clive Dunn's recent sad passing evidenced one again how Dad's Army has stayed with viewers across the years. Think you know everything there is to know about this national telly treasure? Think you’re dooooooooooomed? Well don’t panic! Here are 35 facts on the adventure of the Home Guard during Britain’s finest hour! 1. Television and beyond! Dad’s Army ran for an epic 80 television episodes across nine series from 1968 to 1977 as well as a number of short sketches. But it wasn’t all about television: the Captain Mainwaring and his men also crossed radio and stage on their way to becoming national treasures. 2. Almost Mainwarings Arthur Lowe is most famous for his role as bumbling Captain George Mainwaring, a character some of his co-stars thought resembled him! But he wasn’t the first choice. Some BBC bosses, including Head of Comedy Michael Mills, were against his casting and the role was offered to Thorley Walters and even future Doctor Who Jon Pertwee before Lowe took on his most famous part. 3. They don’t like it down ‘em! Arthur Lowe certainly knew what comedy he liked and knew what he didn’t. In one episode he refused to film a scene where Private Frazer tries to free a bomb from Captain Mainwaring’s trousers. After a few rewrites, as you may remember, Corporal Jones ended up taking the bomb for the team. But Arthur Lowe insisted on something a bit more permanent: he had a clause written into his contract that he would never have his trousers removed! 4. War veterans View gallery Corporal Jones may always be the first of the platoon to want to ‘stick it up ‘em’ but the late Clive Dunn , who served four years in prisons and prisoner of war camps in Austria during WW2, was a pacifist. Other members of the cast and crew had fought not only in the Second World War, but also the First such as Arnold Ridley (Private Godfrey). During WWII, Arthur Lowe served as a Sergeant Major and John Le Mesurier a Captain, while director/producer David Croft rose to the rank of major after joining the Royal Artillery in 1942. 5. Real Home Guard Of the television Home Guard platoon only John Laurie (Frazer) and Arnold Ridley (Godfrey) had actually served in the real Home Guard during the Second World War. Ridley had joined the Home Guard’s forerunner, the Local Defence Volunteers in 1940, narrowly escaping injury or death when his cottage was hit by a bomb in 1944. Laurie was also a veteran of the First World War, as a member of the Honourable Artillery Company. 6. Permission to sing, sir!

But at the same time he was playing the role, he also managed to score a number one hit single with 1971’s ‘Grandad’ – a song that featured none other than Rick Wakeman on keyboards. It certainly wasn’t the end of Dunn’s musical career - he even released his own album, ‘Permission to Sing Sir!’ 7. Private Perry! One of the show’s most popular characters, Private Pike (played by Ian Lavender ) was based on writer Jimmy Perry’s real life experience as a teenager being molly-coddled by his mum. "She didn't go so far as making me wear a scarf, but she came pretty near" he said. Shouldn’t have told us that, Pike! 8. Almost W
The Gothic vault, unlike the semi-circular vault of Roman and Romanesque buildings, can be used to roof rectangular and irregularly shaped plans such as trapezoids. The other structural advantage is that the pointed arch channels the weight onto the bearing piers or columns at a steep angle. This enabled architects to raise vaults much higher than was possible in Romanesque architecture. While, structurally, use of the pointed arch gave a greater flexibility to architectural form, it also gave Gothic architecture a very different and more vertical visual character than Romanesque.

Photosynthesis Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of cells.
Fighting the Beastly Yeast Infection Fighting the Beastly Yeast Infection By Rebecca Price — Tweet I’m going to get real with you for a second and tell you about the first time that I learned about yeast infections. It was, confusingly enough, in my eighth grade home ec. class, and we were learning how to bake bread. It was at that moment that I raised my hand and asked a perfectly innocent question: “Is it safe to eat raw bread dough because of the active yeast?” Bad move, middle school Becca. My teacher, an older woman, decided it was time to bring me into the realm of womanhood. She took me aside and spoke to me in what she thought was a whisper, but I discovered later that the whole class heard. “Sometimes when little girls take bubble baths,” she began seriously, “they get bubbles in uncomfortable places, causing an infection.” I don’t know how she thought I was asking about yeast infections, and I just stood there awkwardly taking her womanly wisdom in. Our awkward, educational huddle finally ended, and when I turned around, my whole class was smirking at me. No one likes to talk about vaginal yeast infections, because they are awkward, private, and–let’s face it–a bit disgusting. But it’s an important issue, especially if you have an autoimmune disease and are required to take medication. In fact, yeast infections can actually be caused by taking medications such as birth control pills or antibiotics. Not only that, but specifically diabetics are prone to yeast infections because of their wacky blood sugar levels. So, if you are living with an autoimmune disease, it may come as no surprise if you suffer from reoccurring vaginal yeast infections, too. According to womenshealth.gov, yeast is a form of fungus; therefore, yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of that fungus. Apparently there is always some yeast in the vagina, but an infection is caused when the yeast grows, resulting in inflammation. But how can you tell when you actually have a yeast infection? Womenshealth.gov describes some of the symptoms as, “Burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and the vulva; Pain when passing urine; Pain during sex; Soreness; A thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese and does not have a bad smell; and/or a rash on the vagina.”These symptoms sound awful, and they are, so it’s important to get treated for a yeast infection as soon as you identify it. First of all, you should talk to your doctor to ensure that you have a yeast infection, but once it’s confirmed, you will probably be directed to one or more of the following: Vagisil: This brand-name cream can help calm one of the most painful symptoms of yeast infections: itching. Their company also carries products such as a feminine p H balance wash, feminine wipes, feminine moisturizer, and vaginal deodorant, which can all help prevent future yeast infections. Vagisil is important to have on-hand whenever you have vaginal irritation but not necessarily a yeast infection. When an infection is first identified, Vagisil is important to have readily available to calm the itching before you get your hands on more effective treatments. Monistat: This is just one brand of yeast infection treatment, but Monistat is the most trusted name. According to their website, Monistat offers one, three and seven-day treatments, all over-the-counter. The Express Release OVULE is a vaginal suppository which you insert into the vagina and is less messy than a cream. The creams, however, are injected into the vagina through a syringe. Not only do these treatments cure your yeast infection, but they eliminate the symptoms, too, whereas Vagisil simply cures the itching. Click here to find all of Monistat’s treatment products. Tablets: Your doctor may prescribe a medication such as Diflucan, Sporanox, or Nizoral as treatment. Web MD reported that these medications are usually prescribed when your yeast infection has not responded to vaginal medicine or in order to stop a recurring vaginal yeast infection. You can also request oral medication from your doctor if you would prefer pills instead of a topical cream. If you are pregnant, breast feeding, or trying to get pregnant, you should not take oral medication. Whether this is your first yeast infection or your 10th, it’s important to prevent them before they start, and here are a few tips, as suggested by womenshealth.gov: “Avoid douches; Avoid scented hygiene products like bubble bath, sprays, pads, and tampons; Change tampons and pads often during your period; Don’t wear tight underwear or clothes made of synthetic fibers; Wear cotton underwear and pantyhose with a cotton crotch; Change out of wet swimsuits and exercise clothes as soon as you can; and Avoid hot tubs and very hot baths .”It’s also important to wipe from front to back, keep your vaginal area clean, and use sanitary wipes, especially during and after your period. Monistat and Vagisil can be purchased at your local Wal Mart, pharmacy or even grocery store. But remember to consult your doctor first to ensure that what you have is in fact a vaginal yeast infection, and not a symptom of something entirely different.

The Gift (Game of Thrones) Reek brings food to Sansa, who has been imprisoned in her bedchamber by Ramsay. She begs for him to help, asking him to light a candle at the top of the broken tower, the aim of which is to send a signal to Stark sympathizers to rescue her. Instead, Reek tells Ramsay, who reacts by flaying and killing the old lady from whom Sansa learned the signal. As Ramsay is talking to Sansa, however, she discreetly steals a corkscrew from the top of a barrel. Meanwhile, Brienne and Podrick wait out in the snow for the signal to no avail.
The Northfield Falls Covered Bridge, also called the Station Covered Bridge, is a wooden covered bridge that carries Cox Brook Road across the Dog River in Northfield, Vermont. Built in 1872, this Town lattice truss bridge is one of five surviving covered bridges in the town, and one of two that are visible from each other (the other is the Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
A Baker cyst is swelling caused by fluid from the knee joint protruding to the back of the knee. The back of the knee is also referred to as the popliteal area of the knee. A Baker cyst is sometimes referred to as a popliteal cyst. When an excess of knee joint fluid is compressed by the body weight between the bones of the knee joint, it can become trapped and separate from the joint to form the fluid-filled sac of a Baker cyst.
Vietnam War Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973.[73] The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese Army in April 1975 marked the end of the war, and North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year. The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities (see Vietnam War casualties). Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000[35] to 3.1 million.[59] Some 240,000–300,000 Cambodians,[60][61][62] 20,000–62,000 Laotians,[59] and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict, and a further 1,626 remain missing in action.[A 2]
Union general-in-chief Winfield Scott, the elderly hero of the Mexican War, created his Anaconda Plan to win the war. Because it didn't include a march on Richmond, Lincoln overruled him. Union troops headed south, but were promptly defeated by Confederate generals Joseph E. Johnston and Pierre G. T. Beauregard at the First Battle of Manassas on July 21, 1861.
