We uh... still do? 1 - It's shiny. Humans like shiny things. 2 - It's rare. When you only have a little bit of it, every piece is more valuable! 3 - It doesn't go away. Silver and Gold don't corrode quickly and last a long time. 4 - They are easy to work. Silver and Gold are softer metals making them useful for things like jewelry. You'll note that none of that has changed.
A maakond (county) is the biggest administrative subdivision. The county government (Maavalitsus) of each county is led by a county governor (Maavanem), who represents the national government at the regional level. Governors are appointed by the Government of Estonia for a term of five years. Several changes were made to the borders of counties after Estonia became independent, most notably the formation of Valga County (from parts of Võru, Tartu and Viljandi counties) and Petseri County (area acquired from Russia with the 1920 Tartu Peace Treaty).

CDs are really expensive in Japan. The record companies don't want consumers to buy imports which are the same thing for a lot cheaper, so they add the bonus tracks. "Sure it costs a lot more, but for a true fan like you, it's worth it to have this special rare track that can be found nowhere else! C'mon, buy it!"
By 1937, Japan controlled Manchuria and was ready to move deeper into China. The Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937 provoked full-scale war between China and Japan. The Nationalist and Communist Chinese suspended their civil war to form a nominal alliance against Japan, and the Soviet Union quickly lent support by providing large amount of materiel to Chinese troops. In August 1937, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek deployed his best army to fight about 300,000 Japanese troops in Shanghai, but, after three months of fighting, Shanghai fell. The Japanese continued to push the Chinese forces back, capturing the capital Nanking in December 1937 and committed which was known as Nanking Massacre. In March 1938, Nationalist forces won their first victory at Taierzhuang. but then the city of Xuzhou was taken by Japanese in May. In June 1938, Japan deployed about 350,000 troops to invade Wuhan and captured it in October. The Japanese achieved major military victories, but world opinion—in particular in the United States—condemned Japan, especially after the Panay Incident.
Open-source software Despite initially accepting it, Richard Stallman of the FSF now flatly opposes the term "Open Source" being applied to what they refer to as "free software". Although he agrees that the two terms describe "almost the same category of software", Stallman considers equating the terms incorrect and misleading. Stallman also opposes the professed pragmatism of the Open Source Initiative, as he fears that the free software ideals of freedom and community are threatened by compromising on the FSF's idealistic standards for software freedom. The FSF considers free software to be a subset of open-source software, and Richard Stallman explained that DRM software, for example, can be developed as open source, despite that it does not give its users freedom (it restricts them), and thus doesn't qualify as free software.
Speaker of the United States House of Representatives The Speaker of the House is the presiding officer of the United States House of Representatives. The office was established in 1789 by Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. The Speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House of Representatives, and is simultaneously the House's presiding officer, de facto leader of the body's majority party, and the institution's administrative head. Speakers also perform various other administrative and procedural functions. Given these several roles and responsibilities, the Speaker usually does not personally preside over debates. That duty is instead delegated to members of the House from the majority party. Neither does the Speaker regularly participate in floor debates nor vote.
Why must opposite faces of dice always add up to 7 (1/6,2/5,3/4)? Would it make any difference if they didn't? \| Notes and Queries \| guardian.co.uk Why must opposite faces of dice always add up to 7 (1/6,2/5,3/4)? Would it make any difference if they didn't? Bill Thomson, Watford, Herts The design as a whole is to provide a randomly determined integer from one to six, each of those values being equally likely to militate against concerns that the faces of dice cause a small bias. For a single roll of a fair s-sided die, the probability of rolling each value is exactly 1/s-an of a discrete uniform distribution. For n multiple rolls, with a s-sided die the possibility space is equal to sn. So, for n rolls of an s-sided die the probability of any result is 1/sn. As the number of dice increases, the distribution of the sum of all numbers tends to normal distribution by the central limit theorem. GOTETI MVSR KRISHNA, TADEPALLIGUDEM,ANDHRAPRADESH INDIA If you take the numbers 1,2....6 then add opp faces!

The laws of physics come from an empirical point of view or from a theoretical point of view but they must satisfy the empirical reality if they come from theoretical consideration. So it looks like to me that the empirical came first and from that we get the laws/rules that fit that empirical relationship.If that is the case we can never ""INVENT"" anything all we do is find out what is there and adapt it to fit our needs//NOO??

Nausea is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. While breast tenderness is often the first noticeable sign of pregnancy, nausea usually starts quickly after that. Nausea can begin as early as the second week of your pregnancy. Most of the time, nausea does not start until between the fourth and sixth weeks of pregnancy. This will typically be between five and seven weeks after the end of the last menstrual period. Nausea during pregnancy typically subsides between the 12th and 14th weeks of pregnancy.

. 1The ethical principle that aspires never to, above all, do harm describes A fidelity. B veracity. C nonmalficence. D beneficence.he Correct Answer is: C Fidelity, veracity, nonmalficence, and beneficence are all ethical principles. Nonmalficence is the principle that refers to the prevention of harm. Beneficence is the ethical principle that refers to bringing about good or benefiting others. Fidelity refers to faithfulness, and veracity refers to truthfulness. (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 352)2Which of the following must be included in a patient's medical record or chart? Diagnostic and therapeutic orders Medical history Informed consent A 1 and 2 only B 1 and 3 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3The Correct Answer is: D The Joint Commission [formerly the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health-care Organizations (JCAHO)] is the organization that accredits health care organizations in the United States. The Joint Commission sets forth certain standards for medical records. In keeping with these standards, all diagnostic and therapeutic orders must appear in the patient's medical record or chart. In addition, patient identification information, medical history, consent forms, and any diagnostic and therapeutic reports should be part of the patient's permanent record. The patient's chart is a means of communication between various health care providers. (Torres et al., 6th ed., p. 19)3An RT (ARRT) is the supervising manager of a short-staffed imaging facility in a State having legislation that requires professional certification. An job applicant arrives whose ARRT certification has lapsed. The manager hires him to fill a 20-hour position doing chest and extremity radiography. The supervisor is guilty of A breaking the ARRT Code of Ethics. B breaking the ARRT Rules of Ethics. C malpractice. D nothing, because position responsibilities are limitedhe Correct Answer is: B The ARRT Standards of Ethics apply to those Registered Technologists holding ARRT certification and Candidates for ARRT certification. The Standards consist of two parts: the Code of Ethics (aspirational) and the Rules of Ethics (mandatory). The ARRT Rules of Ethics are mandatory minimum professional standards for all RTs and candidate RTs. Violators, and individuals who permit violation, of these Rules are subject to sanctions. Rules of Ethics numbers 15 and 21 specifically refer to those who knowingly assist another without proper certification to engage in the practice of radiologic technology, and/or those who fail to promptly report such activity to the ARRT—as being subject to sanction. ( ARRT Standards of Ethics)4To "excuse" suboptimal images, a radiographer makes a note on the exam requisition claiming that the patient "was uncooperative." That radiographer can legally be found guilty of A malpractice. B slander. C libel. D tort The Correct Answer is: C Malpractice refers to an action taken by a health care professional that results in patient injury and that fails to meet reasonable standard of care guidelines. If a health care professional communicates false information to a third party, that health care professional can be found guilty of defamation. Spoken defamation is slander; written defamation is libel. ( Saia, PREP, 4th ed, p 8)5The legal document or individual authorized to make an individual's health care decisions, should the individual be unable to make them for himself or herself, is theadvance health care directive.living will.health care proxy. A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3The Correct Answer is: D The patient's rights can be exercised on the patient's behalf by a designated surrogate or proxy decision maker if the patient lacks decision-making capacity, is legally incompetent, or is a minor. Many people believe that potential legal and ethical issues can be avoided by creating an advance health care directive or living will. Since all persons have the right to make decisions regarding their own health care, this legal document preserves that right in the event an individual is unable to make those decisions. An advance health care directive, or living will, names the health care proxy authorized to make all health care decisions and can include specifics regarding DNR (Do not resuscitate), DNI (Do not intubate), and/or other end-of-life decisions. (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 155)6The term dysplasia refers to A difficulty speaking. B abnormal development of tissue. C malposition. D difficult or painful breathing. The Correct Answer is: B Dysplasia refers to abnormal development of tissue—often demonstrated radiographically in skeletal imaging. Difficulty in speaking is termed dysphasia. Malposition refers to an anatomic structure located in a place other than the norm, for example, situs inversus. Difficult or painful breathing is termed dyspnea. (Taber, 20th ed., p. 652)7Exposure factors of 100 k Vp and 6 m As are used with a 6:1 grid for a particular exposure. What should be the new milliampere-seconds value if a 12:1 grid is substituted? A 7.5 m As B 10 m As C 13 m As D 18 m Ashe Correct Answer is: B To change nongrid to grid exposure, or to adjust exposure when changing from one grid ratio to another, recall the factor for each grid ratio: The grid conversion formula is Substituting known quantities: Thus, x = 10 m As with a 12:1 grid. (Shephard, p. 248)8A radiographer who tells the patient that he or she will have to repeat this uncomfortable examination if the patient does not try harder to cooperate can be accused of A assault. B battery. C false imprisonment. D defamation.he Correct Answer is: A Assault is the threat of touching or laying hands on someone. If a patient feels threatened by a practitioner, either because of the tone or pitch of the practitioner's voice or because the practitioner uses words that are threatening, the practitioner can be accused of assault. A radiographer who performs the wrong examination on a patient may be charged with battery. Battery refers to the unlawful laying of hands on a patient. The radiographer also could be charged with battery if a patient were moved about roughly or touched in a manner that is inappropriate or without the patient's consent. False imprisonment may be considered if a patient is ignored after stating that he or she no longer wishes to continue with the procedure or if restraining devices are used improperly or used without a physician's order. The accusation of defamation can be upheld when patient confidentiality is not respected, and as a result, the patient suffers embarrassment or mockery. ( Adler and Carlton, 4th ed.,9Hospitals and other health care providers must ensure patient confidentiality in compliance with which of the following legislation? A MQSA B MRSA C HIPAA D HIPPAhe Correct Answer is: C Hospital information systems must ensure confidentiality in compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulations. Most institutions now have computerized, paperless systems that accomplish the same information transmittal; these systems must ensure confidentiality in compliance with HIPAA regulations. The health care professional generally has access to the computerized system only via personal password, thus helping to ensure confidentiality of patient information. All medical records and other individually identifiable health information, whether electronic, on paper, or oral, are covered by HIPAA legislation and by subsequent Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) rules that took effect in April of 2001. (Torres et al., 6th ed., p. 20) Mark for Review Discussion Add to My Notes Performance Overall Time Spent 00:04:39 Performance in Last 10 Qs Hard Easy About this Question Question Difficulty Difficulty 78.7% (23823/30270) Students got it correct Study this topic10For medicolegal reasons, radiographic images are required to include all the following information except A the patient's name and/or identification number. B the patient's birth date. C a right- or left-side marker. D the date of the examination.he Correct Answer is: B Every radiographic image must include (1) the patient's name or ID number, (2) the side marker, right or left; (3) the date of the examination; and (4) the identity of the institution or office. Additional information may be included: the patient's birth date or age, name of the attending physician, and the time of day. When multiple examinations (e.g., chest examinations or small bowel images) of a patient are made on the same day, it becomes crucial that the time the radiographs were taken be included on the image. This allows the physician to track the patient's progress. (Frank et al., 11th ed., vol. 1, p. 25)11The ARRT Rules of Ethics are1. aspirational.2. mandatory.3. minimally acceptable standards. A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3The Correct Answer is: C The ARRT Standards of Ethics is a three-part document. Following the Preamble, it consists of the Code of Ethics, the Rules of Ethics, and Administrative Procedures. The Code of Ethics serves as a guide thta imaging professionals use to direct their conduct and growth—it addresses humanistic behavior, delivery of care without bias, good judgment, minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation, assuming responsibility, not attempting to diagnose or interpret, etc. The Code of Ethics is aspirational . The Rules of Ethics are minimally acceptable mandatory and enforceable standards required of all imaging professionals to ensure quality patient care. Violation of the Code of Ethics renders the individual subject to sanction. The Rules of Ethics cover issues such as fraud/deceit regarding individual ARRT certification; subversion/attempt to the subvert the certification examination process; conviction of a crime; failure to report charges concerning the individual's permit, license, or certification; engaging in unethical conduct; etc. There are 20 Rules of Ethics with which the imaging professional should be familiar. ( Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 350)12Verbal disclosure of confidential information that is detrimental to the patient is referred to as A invasion of privacy B slander C libel D assaulthe Correct Answer is: B A radiographer who discloses confidential information to unauthorized individuals may be found guilty of invasion of privacy. If the disclosure is in some way detrimental or otherwise harmful to the patient, the radiographer may be accused of defamation. Spoken defamation is slander; written defamation is libel. Assault is to threaten harm; battery is to carry out the threat. (Torres et al., 6th ed., p. 11)13A radiographer has recently joined your staff. You are aware that this individual has had her ARRT certification revoked. Realizing that your state requires certification, you speak to a supervisor about the matter. Your supervisor replies that he knows but made an exception "because we are so short staffed." You should A report this to the next supervisor in charge. B report this to the facility administrator. C report this directly to the ARRT. D do and/or say nothing.he Correct Answer is: C The ARRT Rules of Ethics are mandatory minimum professional standards for all RTs and candidate RTs. Violators, and individuals who permit violation, of these Rules are subject to sanctions. Rules of Ethics numbers 15 and 21 specifically refer to those who knowingly assist another without proper certification to engage in the practice of radiologic technology, and/or those who fail to promptly report such activity to the ARRT—as being subject to sanction. ( ARRT Standards of Ethics)14Which of the following patient rights is violated by discussing privileged patient information with an individual who is not involved with the patient's care?1. The right to considerate and respectful care 2. The right to privacy 3. The right to continuity of care A 1 only B 2 only C 1 and 3 only D 2 and 3 only The Correct Answer is: B The patient's right to privacy refers to his or her modesty and dignity being respected. It also refers to the professional health-care worker's obligation to respect the confidentiality of privileged information. Communication of privileged information to anyone but health-care workers involved with the patient's care is inexcusable. (Gurley & Callaway, p 187)15If a radiographer performed a lumbar spine examination on a patient who was supposed to have an elbow examination, which of the following charges may be brought against the radiographer? A Assault B Battery C False imprisonment D Defamationhe Correct Answer is: B A radiographer who performs the wrong examination on a patient may be charged with battery. Battery refers to the unlawful laying of hands on a patient. The radiographer also could be charged with battery if a patient is moved about roughly or touched in a manner that is inappropriate or without the patient's consent. Assault is the threat of touching or laying hands on someone. If a patient feels threatened by a practitioner, either because of the tone or pitch of the practitioner's voice or because the practitioner uses words that are threatening, the practitioner can be accused of assault. False imprisonment may be considered if a patient is ignored after stating that she no longer wishes to continue with the procedure or if restraining devices are used improperly or used without a physician's order. The accusation of defamation can be upheld when patient confidentiality is not respected and, as a result, the patient suffers embarrassment or mockery. (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 374)16Patients' rights include which of the following? 1. The right to refuse treatment 2. The right to confidentiality 3. The right to possess his or her radiographs A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 1 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3e Correct Answer is: B The American Hospital Association identifies 12 important areas in its "Patients' Bill of Rights." These include the right to refuse treatment (to the extent allowed by law), the right to confidentiality of records and communication, and the right to continuing care. Other patient rights identified are the right to informed consent, privacy, respectful care, access to records, refuse to participate in research projects, and an explanation of the hospital bill. (Torres et al, p 12)17Honor Code violations that can prevent a radiography student from meeting ARRT certification requirements includefailing one or more courses in the radiography programbeing suspended from the radiography programbeing dismissed/expelled from a radiography program A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3he Correct Answer is: C The word honor implies regard for the standards of one's profession, a refusal to lie/deceive, an uprightness of character or action, a trustworthiness and incorruptibility. Other words used to describe these qualities are honesty, integrity, and probity. These are qualities required of students and health care professionals. This honor/integrity can only be achieved in an environment where intellectual honesty and personal integrity are highly valued—and where the responsibility for communicating and maintaining these standards is widely shared. The ARRT publishes an important document regarding Honor Code violations. In order to meet ARRT certification requirements, candidates for the ARRT exam must answer the question: “Have you ever been suspended, dismissed, or expelled from an educational program that you have attended?” … in addition to reading and signing the “Written Consent under FERPA,” allowing the ARRT to obtain specific parts of their educational records concerning violations to an honor code if the student has ever been suspended, dismissed, or expelled from an educational program attended. If the applicant answers “yes” to that question he or she must include an explanation and documentation of the situation with the completed application for certification. If the applicant has any doubts, he or she should contact the ARRT Ethics Requirements Department at (651) 687-0048, ext. 8580.

Copyright © 2008 The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. )]18Which of the following legal phrases defines a circumstance in which both the health care provider's and the patient's actions contributed to an injurious outcome? A Intentional misconduct B Contributory negligence C Gross negligence D Corporate negligencehe Correct Answer is: B A circumstance in which both the health care provider's and the patient's actions contribute to an injurious outcome is termed contributory negligence. An example would be a patient who fails to follow the physician's orders or fails to show up for follow-up care and then sues when the condition causes permanent damage. Another example would be a patient who deliberately gives false information about the ingestion of drugs, leading to adverse effects from medications administered. Most states do not completely dismiss injury if there has been negligence on the part of the health care institution, even if the patient's actions contributed substantially to the injury. Rather, comparative negligence is applied, where the percentage of the injury owing to the patient's actions is compared with the total amount of injury. A jury may decide that a physician was negligent in his or her actions, but because the patient lied about using an illegal street drug that contributed to the injurious outcome, the patient is 80% responsible for his or her condition. The party suing may be awarded $100,000 for injuries but actually19A radiographer who discloses confidential information to unauthorized individuals may be found guilty of A invasion of privacy. B slander. C libel. D defamation. The Correct Answer is: A A radiographer who discloses confidential information to unauthorized individuals may be found guilty of invasion of privacy. If the disclosure is in some way detrimental or otherwise harmful to the patient, the radiographer may be accused of defamation. Spoken defamation is slander; written defamation is libel. Assault is to threaten harm; battery is to carry out the threat. (Torres et al, p 11)20A signed consent form is necessary prior to performing all the following procedures except A myelogram. B cardiac catheterization. C upper GI series. D interventional vascular procedurec21Which of the following must be included in the patient's medical record or chart? 1. Diagnostic and therapeutic orders 2. Medical history 3. Informed consent A 1 and 2 only B 1 and 3 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3The Correct Answer is: D The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) is the organization that accredits health-care organizations in the United States. The JCAHO sets forth certain standards for medical records. In keeping with these standards, all diagnostic and therapeutic orders must appear on the patient's medical record or chart. Additionally, patient identification information, medical history, consent forms, and any diagnostic and therapeutic reports should also be part of the patient's permanent record. The patient's chart is a means of communication between various health-care providers. (Torres et al, 6th ed., p. 19)22you are working in the outpatient department and receive a patient who is complaining of pain in the right hip joint; however, the requisition asks for a left femur examination. What should you do? A Perform a right hip examination. B Perform a left femur examination. C Perform both a right hip and a left femur examination. D Check with the referring physicianhe Correct Answer is: D Although it is never the responsibility of the radiographer to diagnose a patient, it is the responsibility of every radiographer to be alert. The patient should not be subjected to unnecessary radiation from an unwanted examination. Rather, it is the radiographer's responsibility to check with the referring physician and report the patient's complaint. (Ehrlich and Daly, 7th ed., p. 74)23Facsimile transmission of health information isnot permitted.permitted for urgently needed patient care.permitted for third-party payer hospitaliza-tion certification. A 1 only B 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3he Correct Answer is: C Facsimile transmission of health information is convenient but should be used only to address immediate and urgent patient needs—and every precaution must be taken to ensure its confidentiality. It should be used only with prior patient authorization, when urgently needed for patient care, or when required for third-party payer ongoing hospitalization certification. These recommendations are made by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 36824The legal doctrine respondeat superior means which of the following? A A matter settled by precedent. B A thing or matter settled by justice. C The thing speaks for itself. D Let the master answer.he Correct Answer is: D Respondeat superior is a phase meaning “let the master answer” or “the one ruling is responsible.” If a radiographer were negligent, there may be an attempt to prove that the radiologist was responsible because the radiologist oversees the radiographer. The legal doctrine res ipsa locquitur relates to a thing or matter that speaks for itself. For instance, if a patient went into the hospital to have a kidney stone removed and ended up with an appendectomy, that speaks for itself, and negligence can be proven. Res judicata means a thing or matter settled by justice. Stare decisis refers to a matter settled by precedent. (Gurley and Callaway, 6th ed., p. 200)25For which of the following can a radiographer be found liable for a negligent tort? Radiographer images the wrong forearm. Patient is injured while being positioned on the x-ray table. Radiographer fails to question patient about possible pregnancy before performing x-ray examination. A 1 only B 1 and 2 only C 2 and 3 only D 1, 2, and 3The Correct Answer is: D For negligent tort liability, four elements must be present—duty (what should have been done), breach (deviation from duty), injury sustained, and cause (as a result of breach). The assessment of duty is determined by the professional standard of care. Examples of negligent torts include patient injury as a result of a fall while unattended on an x-ray table, in a radiographic room, or on a stretcher without side rails or safety belt. Radiographing the wrong patient and radiographing the opposite limb are other examples of negligence. If patient injury results from misperformance of a duty in the routine scope of practice of the radiographer, most courts will apply res ipsa loquitur; that is, “the thing speaks for itself.” If the patient is obviously injured as a result of the radiographer's actions, it becomes the radiographer's burden to disprove negligence. In many instances, the hospital and/or radiologist also will be held responsible according to respondeat superior, or “the master speaks for the servant.” (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 374)26Radiographs are the property of the A radiologist. B patient. C health-care institution. D referring physician.he Correct Answer is: C Radiographs are the property of the health-care institution and are a part of every patient's permanent medical record. They are often retained on file for about 7 years or, in the case of pediatric patients, until the patient reaches maturity. They are not the personal property of either the radiologist or the referring physician. If a patient changes doctors or needs a second opinion, copies can be requested. The patient may also borrow the originals, which must be returned, or he or she may pay for copies. (Adler & Carlton,27You receive a patient who is complaining of pain in the area of the left fourth and fifth metatarsals; however, the requisition asks for a left ankle examination. What should you do? A Perform a left foot examination. B Perform a left ankle examination. C Perform both a left foot and a left ankle examination. D Check with the referring physician. The Correct Answer is: D Although it is never the responsibility of the radiographer to diagnose a patient, it is the responsibility of every radiographer to be alert. The patient should not be subjected to unnecessary radiation from an unwanted examination. Rather, it is the radiographer's responsibility to check with the referring physician and report the patient's complaint. (Ehrlich & Mc Closkey, p 14)28A radiographer who discloses confidential patient information to unauthorized individuals can be found guilty of A libel. B invasion of privacy. C slander. D defamation. The Correct Answer is: B A radiographer who discloses confidential information to unauthorized individuals may be found guilty of invasion of privacy. If the disclosure is in some way detrimental or otherwise harmful to the patient, the radiographer may also be accused of defamation. Spoken defamation is slander; written defamation is libel. (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., pp. 374–375)29All the following are part of the Patient's Bill of Rights except 1A the right to participate in proposed research studies. B the right to continuity of care. C the right to considerate and respectful care. D the right to review any institutional recordse Correct Answer is: D The AHA publishes a Patient's Bill of Rights, which details 12 specific areas of patients' rights and the health care professional's ethical (and often legal) responsibility to adhere to these rights. The Patient's Bill of Rights is summarized as follows:1. The right to considerate and respectful care2. The right to be informed completely and understandably3. The right to refuse treatment4. The right to have an advance directive (e.g., a living will or health care proxy)5. The right to privacy6. The right to confidentiality7. The right to review one's records30The legal doctrine respondeat superior relates to which of the following? A Let the master answer. B The thing speaks for itself. C A thing or matter settled by justice. D A matter settled by precedent. The Correct Answer is: A The legal doctrine res ipsa locquitur relates to “a matter that speaks for itself.” For instance, if a patient were admitted to the hospital to have a kidney stone removed and incorrectly was given an appendectomy, “that speaks for itself,” and negligence could be proven. Respondeat superior is the phrase meaning “let the master answer” or “the one ruling is responsible.” If a radiographer is negligent, there may be an attempt to prove that the radiologist was responsible because the radiologist oversees the radiographer. Res judicata means “a thing or matter settled by justice.” Stare decisis refers to “a matter settled by precedent.” (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., p. 376)31Joseph Luckett Jr, is a competent second-year student. He has been imaging patients under indirect supervision for most of the day. All CR images are viewed at the workstation on the computer monitor, before being sent to the radiologist. After taking posteroanterior (PA) and lateral chest projections on a patient with a positive purified protein derivative (PPD) test, Joseph notices that he has “clipped” the apices on the PA projection. As per the policy of the department and program, he must consult with a technologist before repeating any images. The technologist takes a quick glance at his image and says, “It looks fine. Send it.”“But what about the apices?” Joseph asks. He knows that imaging the apices is extremely important in suspected cases of TB. The technologist does not take a second look. “That's okay. It's just a routine. Send it.”What is the most appropriate immediate action for Joseph to take? A Ignore the technologist's advice and repeat the PA view. B Send the images as suggested by the technologist. C Send the images but, without informing the technologist, add the following comment: “Technologist advised against a repeat.”Jhe Correct Answer is: D Wrong action, also vindictiveness or malice. Ethically, sending the image would not be beneficial to the patient, and the ethical principle of beneficence suggests that our actions always should benefit the patient. In a worse-case scenario, the patient could have TB, but because of the missing apices, the radiologist could read the image as negative. The radiologist might request that the patient return for a repeat image—further inconveniencing the patient and adding to his or her stress. Adding a negative comment to the study without first consulting with the technologist implies malice or vindictiveness. Repeating the image against the technologist's advise would be a definite violation of department and program policy. Joseph should not discredit his own judgment or intuitions. He should first attempt to resolve the matter by discussing it with the technologist. (Adler and Carlton, 4th ed., pp. 347–357)32What is the appropriate action if a patient has signed consent for a procedure but, once on the radiographic table, refuses the procedure? A Proceed—the consent form is signed. B Send the patient back to his or her room. C Honor the patient's request and proceed with the next patient. D Immediately stop the procedure and inform the radiologist and the referring physician of the patient's request. The Correct Answer is: D According to the patient's bill of rights, the patient's verbal request supersedes any prior written consent. It is not appropriate to dismiss the patient without notifying the referring physician and the radiologist. The patient may very well need a particular radiographic examination to make a proper diagnosis or for preoperative planning, and the radiographer must inform the physician of the patient's decision immediately. (Ehrlich et al., 6th ed., pp. 54–55)33As health care professionals aspire to design their actions to always benefit their patients, to only bring about good for their patients, they are aspiring to what moral principle? A Beneficence B Nonmaleficence C Autonomy D Veracityhe Correct Answer is: A There are many medicolegal terms with which the radiographer should be familiar. Beneficence refers to decisions and actions made to bring about good, ie, to benefit the patient. Nonmaleficence refers to the prevention of harm to the patient. Autonomy refers to the right of every individual to act with personal self-reliance. Veracity refers to telling the truth. ( Adler and Carlton, 3rd ed, p 308)34Which of the following involve (s) intentional misconduct? Invasion of privacy False imprisonment Patient sustaining injury from a fall while left unattended A 1 only B 3 only C 1 and 2 only D 2 and 3 onlyhe Correct Answer is: C Invasion of privacy—that is, public discussion of privileged and confidential information—is intentional misconduct. False imprisonment, such as unnecessarily restraining a patient, is also intentional misconduct. However, if a radiographer left a weak patient standing while leaving the room to check images or get supplies and the patient fell and sustained an injury, that would be considered unintentional misconduct or negligence. (Gurley and Callaway, 6th ed., p. 193)35The moral principle that describes the radiographer's aspiration to do no harm or to allow no act that might cause harm to the patient is termed A beneficence. B nonmaleficence. C autonomy. D veracity. The Correct Answer is: B There are many medicolegal terms with which the radiographer should be familiar. Beneficence refers to decisions and actions made to bring about good, ie, to benefit the patient. Nonmaleficence refers to the prevention of harm to the patient. Autonomy refers to the right of every individual to act with personal self-reliance. Veracity refers to telling the truth.

Oganesson Oganesson is a synthetic chemical element with symbol Og and atomic number 118. It was first synthesized in 2002 at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, near Moscow in Russia, by a joint team of Russian and American scientists. In December 2015, it was recognized as one of four new elements by the Joint Working Party of the international scientific bodies IUPAC and IUPAP. It was formally named on 28 November 2016.[18][19] The name is in line with the tradition of honoring a scientist, in this case the nuclear physicist Yuri Oganessian, who has played a leading role in the discovery of the heaviest elements in the periodic table. It is one of only two elements named after a person who was alive at the time of naming, the other being seaborgium; it is also the only element whose namesake is alive today.[20]

Pessary From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (May 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A pessary is a prosthetic device inserted into the vagina to reduce the protrusion of pelvic structures into the vagina. It can be a route of administration of medication and provides a slow and consistent release of the medication. Pessaries are of varying shapes and sizes. They may cause vaginal ulceration if they are not correctly sized and routinely cleansed. Depending on locale, pessaries can be fitted by health care practitioners; in some countries, pessaries may be available over the counter. [1]The term is derived from Ancient Greek: πεσσάριον, translit. pessárion, "a piece of medication-soaked wool/lint, inserted into the vagina." [2]An assortment of pessaries Contents [ hide ]1 Types of pessaries1.1 Therapeutic pessaries1.2 Pharmaceutical pessaries1.3 Occlusive pessaries1.3.1 Stem pessary2 General side effects3 See also4 References Types of pessaries [ edit]Different types of pessaries Therapeutic pessaries [ edit]A therapeutic pessary is a medical device similar to the outer ring of a diaphragm. Therapeutic pessaries are used to support the uterus, vagina, bladder, or rectum. Pessaries are a treatment option for pelvic organ prolapse. [3] A pessary is most commonly used to treat prolapse of the uterus. It is also used to treat stress urinary incontinence, a retroverted uterus, cystocele and rectocele. Historically, pessaries may have also been used to perform abortions. The Cerclage Pessary is used to treat pregnant women with cervical incompetence in order to support the cervix and turn it backward towards the sacrum. It may be indicated in pregnancies with a history of premature labor, multiple pregnancies or mothers who are exposed to physical strain (e.g. standing for a long time). It may also be indicated in pregnant women suffering from prolapse of the genital organs. [4]The pessary can be placed temporarily or permanently, and must be fitted by a physician, physician assistant, midwife, or advanced practice nurse. Some pessaries can be worn during intercourse. Pharmaceutical pessaries [ edit]A pharmaceutical pessary is used as a very effective means of delivery of pharmaceutical substances easily absorbed through the skin of the vagina, or intended to have action in the locality, for example against inflammation or yeast infection, or on the uterus. Pessaries were used as birth control in ancient times [ vague]. [ citation needed]Occlusive pessaries [ edit]Main article: Cervical cap See also: womb veil An occlusive pessary is generally used in combination with spermicide as a contraceptive. Stem pessary [ edit]The stem pessary, a type of occlusive pessary, was an early form of the cervical cap. Shaped like a dome, it covered the cervix, and a central rod or "stem" entered the uterus through the os, to hold it in place. [5]General side effects [ edit]Side effects that are shared among most different types of pessaries include: risks of increased vaginal discharge, vaginal irritation, ulceration, bleeding, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse for the male or female).

Chesapeake Bay, USA - All About the Chesapeake Bay and its Region Chesapeake Bay, USA Chesapeake The Chesapeake Bay The Chesapeake Bay is a large body of water located on the Atlantic coast of the United States. The States of Maryland and Virginia border the Chesapeake Bay and the bay has a major economic impact on both of those states. The Chesapeake Bay is 200 miles long with its widest point being 35 miles and its narrowest being 3.5 miles. The average depth of the Chesapeake Bay is 21 feet with a few points being as much as 174 feet deep. It's estimated that the Bay holds 18 trillion gallons of water. Many streams and rivers flow directly or indirectly into the Chesapeake Bay. These streams and rivers make up part of the large Chesapeake Bay watershed. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water drains off into the same place. Parts of six states, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, New York and all of the District of Columbia is part of the Chesapeake Bay's 64,299 square mile watershed with Sixteen Million people live within it. There are 130 estuaries in the Unites States and the Chesapeake Bay is the largest. An estuary is a place where the salt water of an ocean meets fresh water of streams and rivers. The 444 mile long Susquehanna River is the largest of the rivers and streams of the Chesapeake Bay. Half of the fresh water that flows into the Chesapeake Bay comes from the Susquehanna. The Susquehanna Rivers begins in New York and empties into the northern Chesapeake Bay. The Potomac River, which has historically been the border between Maryland and Virginia, is another large river that flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The Potomac is 383 miles long beginning in West Virginia. © 2008 ShoreToBeFun.com – All Rights Reserved Our Advertisers:

. Unbalanced Forces: Placing a box on the seesaw unbalances it. The weight of the box is the unbalanced or net force which causes the seesaw to accelerate downward until it hits the ground. Let’s assume that the wheels of a car apply 10 N of force. What is the net force if friction and drag are negligible? The net force would equal 10 Newtons , forward. The mass will accelerate. What is the net force if the wheels of the car apply 10 Newtons but a parachute applies 7 Newtons in the other direction? The net force would equal 3 Newtons , forward. The mass will accelerate. A rocket applies an additional force of 10 Newtons to the 10 Newtons that are applied by the wheels. What is the net force if the parachute continues to apply 7 Newtons in the other direction? The net force would equal 13 Newtons , forward. The mass will accelerate. Balanced Forces: When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. A plane will fly at constant velocity if the acceleration is zero. The forces are in balance. Consider a person sliding down a slide at constant velocity. In this example, there is no net force when a mass moves at constant velocity. Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass. If friction slowed the person down, then there is a net force. A car is moving at 10 m/s. The wheels apply 10 N of force. Drag exerts 10 N in the other direction. There is no net force. According to Newton’s 2 nd Law,Fnet = MAThe acceleration will be zero, since there is no net force. Will the speed of this car change under the present circumstances? No. A fireman slides down a pole at constant velocity. Friction resists his fall. At constant velocity, his weight equals the force of friction. In other words, there is no net force. If however, he loosens his grip and decreases the friction force, he will accelerate downward. As he accelerates, there is a net force.

(December 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Reefer on a truck Containers loaded on a container ship with the refrigeration units visible Inside of a refrigerated container Reefer containers Reefer Sockets used to Power Up Reefer Containers A refrigerated container or reefer is an intermodal container (shipping container) used in intermodal freight transport that is refrigerated for the transportation of temperature sensitive cargo. While a reefer will have an integral refrigeration unit, they rely on external power, from electrical power points (“reefer points”) at a land based site, a container ship or on quay. When being transported over the road on a trailer or over rail wagon, they can be powered from diesel powered generators ("gen sets") which attach to the container whilst on road journeys. Refrigerated containers are capable of controlling temperature ranging from -65 °C up to 40 °C. [1]Some reefers are equipped with a water cooling system, which can be used if the reefer is stored below deck on a vessel without adequate ventilation to remove the heat generated [ citation needed]Water cooling systems are more expensive than air current ventilation to remove heat from cargo holds, and the use of water cooling systems is declining. [1] Air cooling and water cooling are usually combined. Air cooling removes the heat generated by the reefers while water cooling helps to minimise the heat produced by the reefers. The reefers are using some heat exchangers that behaves as water cooled condensers: water cooling. The impact on society of reefer containers is vast, allowing consumers all over the world to enjoy fresh produce at any time of year and experience previously unavailable fresh produce from many other parts of the world. Contents [ hide ]1 Cryogenic cooling2 Redundant refrigeration3 Reefer types and dimensions4 See also5 References Cryogenic cooling [ edit]Another refrigeration system sometimes used where the journey time is short is total loss refrigeration, in which frozen carbon dioxide ice (or sometimes liquid nitrogen) is used for cooling. [2] The cryogenically frozen gas slowly evaporates, and thus cools the container and is vented from it. The container is cooled for as long as there is frozen gas available in the system. These have been used in railcars for many years, providing up to 17 days temperature regulation. [3] Whilst refrigerated containers are not common for air transport, total loss dry ice systems are usually used. [2] These containers have a chamber which is loaded with solid carbon dioxide and the temperature is regulated by a thermostatically controlled electric fan, and the air freight versions are intended to maintain temperature for up to around 100 hours. [4]Full size intermodal containers equipped with these "cryogenic" systems can maintain their temperature for the 30 days needed for sea transport. [3] Since they do not require an external power supply, cryogenically refrigerated containers can be stored anywhere on any vessel that can accommodate "dry" (un-refrigerated) ocean freight containers. Redundant refrigeration [ edit]A container fitted with two refrigeration units and a single diesel generator Valuable, temperature-sensitive, or hazardous cargo often require the utmost in system reliability. This type of reliability can only be achieved through the installation of a redundant refrigeration system. A redundant refrigeration system consists of integrated primary and back-up refrigeration units. If the primary unit malfunctions, the secondary unit automatically starts. To provide reliable power to the refrigeration units, these containers are often fitted with one or more diesel generator sets. Containers fitted with these systems may be required for transporting certain dangerous goods in order to comply with the International Maritime Organization ’s regulations.

Longer, better answer: 1 Use the newest, sharpest drill bit you can find, diamond if possible (like the others said.). 2 Tape off both sides of the glass to minimize cracking around the drill hole. 3 Wear safety glasses. 4 Also as others said, use water or drilling oil as a lubricant. 5 Go very slowly, applying as very little pressure as you can.
Unicode includes a mechanism for modifying character shape that greatly extends the supported glyph repertoire. This covers the use of combining diacritical marks. They are inserted after the main character. Multiple combining diacritics may be stacked over the same character. Unicode also contains precomposed versions of most letter/diacritic combinations in normal use. These make conversion to and from legacy encodings simpler, and allow applications to use Unicode as an internal text format without having to implement combining characters. For example, é can be represented in Unicode as U+0065 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E) followed by U+0301 (COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT), but it can also be represented as the precomposed character U+00E9 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE). Thus, in many cases, users have multiple ways of encoding the same character. To deal with this, Unicode provides the mechanism of canonical equivalence.
Nina Simone -LRB- -LSB- ˈniːnə_sᵻˈmoʊn -RSB- born Eunice Kathleen Waymon ; February 21 , 1933 -- April 21 , 2003 -RRB- was an American singer , songwriter , pianist , arranger , and activist in the Civil Rights Movement . Simone employed a broad range of musical styles including classical , jazz , blues , folk , R&B , gospel , and pop . Born in North Carolina , the sixth child of a preacher , Waymon aspired to be a concert pianist . With the help of a few supporters in her hometown of Tryon , North Carolina , she enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York . Waymon then applied for a scholarship to study at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia , where she was denied despite a well-received audition . Waymon became fully convinced this rejection had been entirely due to her race , a statement that has been a matter of controversy . Years later , two days before her death , the Curtis Institute of Music bestowed on her an honorary degree . To make a living , Eunice Waymon changed her name to `` Nina Simone '' . The change related to her need to disguise herself from family members , having chosen to play `` the devil 's music '' or `` cocktail piano '' at a nightclub in Atlantic City . She was told in the nightclub that she would have to sing to her own accompaniment , and this effectively launched her career as a jazz vocalist . Simone recorded more than 40 albums , mostly between 1958 , when she made her debut with Little Girl Blue , and 1974 . She had a hit in the United States in 1958 with `` I Loves You , Porgy '' . Simone 's musical style fused gospel and pop with classical music , in particular Johann Sebastian Bach , and accompanied expressive , jazz-like singing in her contralto voice .

Biodegradation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the journal, see Biodegradation (journal). Yellow slime mold growing on a bin of wet paper Biodegradation is the disintegration of materials by bacteria, fungi, or other biological means. [a]The term is often used in relation to: biomedicine, waste management, ecology, and the bioremediation of the natural environment. It is now commonly associated with environmentally-friendly products, capable of decomposing back into natural elements. Although often conflated, biodegradable is distinct in meaning from: compostable. While biodegradable simply means can be consumed by microorganisms, compostable makes the further specific demand that the object break down under composting conditions. Organic material can be degraded aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). Decomposition of biodegradable substances may include both biological and abiotic steps. Biodegradable matter is generally organic material that provides a nutrient for microorganisms. These are so numerous and diverse that a huge range of compounds can be biodegraded, including hydrocarbons (oils), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pharmaceutical substances. Microorganisms secrete biosurfactant, an extracellular surfactant, to enhance this process. Contents [ hide ]1 Factors affecting biodegradation rate2 Detergents3 Plastics4 Biodegradable technology5 Etymology of "biodegradable"6 See also7 Notes8 References8.1 Standards by ASTM International9 External links Factors affecting biodegradation rate [ edit]In practice, almost all chemical compounds and materials are subject to biodegradation processes. The significance, however, is in the relative rates of such processes, such as days, weeks, years or centuries. A number of factors determine the rate at which this degradation of organic compounds occurs. [2] Salient factors include light, water and oxygen. Temperature is also important because chemical reactions proceed more quickly at higher temperatures. The degradation rate of many organic compounds is limited by their bioavailability. Compounds must be released into solution before organisms can degrade them. [3]Biodegradability can be measured in a number of ways. Respirometry tests can be used for aerobic microbes. First one places a solid waste sample in a container with microorganisms and soil, and then aerates the mixture. Over the course of several days, microorganisms digest the sample bit by bit and produce carbon dioxide – the resulting amount of CO 2 serves as an indicator of degradation. Biodegradability can also be measured by anaerobic microbes and the amount of methane or alloy that they are able to produce. In formal scientific literature, the process is termed bioremediation.

Branched alkybenzenesulfonates (below right), used in former times, were abandoned because they biodegrade too slowly. [6]4- (5-Dodecyl) benzenesulfonate, a linear dodecylbenzenesulfonate A branched dodecylbenzenesulfonate, which has been phased out in developed countries. Plastics [ edit]Main article: Biodegradable plastic § Examples of biodegradable plastics Plastics biodegrade at highly variable rates. PVC -based plumbing is specifically selected for handling sewage because PVC biodegrades very slowly. Some packaging materials on the other hand are being developed that would degrade readily upon exposure to the environment. [7] Examples of synthetic polymers that biodegrade quickly include polycaprolactone, other polyesters and aromatic-aliphatic esters, due to their ester bonds being susceptible to attack by water. A prominent example is poly-3-hydroxybutyrate, the renewably derived polylactic acid, and the synthetic polycaprolactone. Others are the cellulose-based cellulose acetate and celluloid (cellulose nitrate). Polylactic acid is an example of a plastic that biodegrades quickly. Under low oxygen conditions biodegradable plastics break down slower and with the production of methane, like other organic materials do. The breakdown process is accelerated in a dedicated compost heap. Starch-based plastics will degrade within two to four months in a home compost bin, while polylactic acid is largely undecomposed, requiring higher temperatures. [8] Polycaprolactone and polycaprolactone-starch composites decompose slower, but the starch content accelerates decomposition by leaving behind a porous, high surface area polycaprolactone. Nevertheless, it takes many months. [9] In 2016, a bacterium named Ideonella sakaiensis was found to biodegrade PET. Many plastic producers have gone so far even to say that their plastics are compostable, typically listing corn starch as an ingredient. However, these claims are questionable because the plastics industry operates under its own definition of compostable:"that which is capable of undergoing biological decomposition in a compost site such that the material is not visually distinguishable and breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic compounds and biomass at a rate consistent with known compostable materials." (Ref: ASTM D 6002) [10]The term "composting" is often used informally to describe the biodegradation of packaging materials. Legal definitions exist for compostability, the process that leads to compost. Four criteria are offered by the European Union: [11] [12]Chemical composition: volatile matter and heavy metals as well as fluorine should be limited. Biodegradability: the conversion of >90% of the original material into CO2, water and minerals by biological processes within 6 months. Disintegrability: at least 90% of the original mass should be decomposed into particles that are able to pass through a 2x2 mm sieve. Quality: absence of toxic substances and other substances that impede composting. Biodegradable technology [ edit]In 1973 it was proven for the first time that polyester degrades when disposed in bioactive material such as soil. Polyesters are water resistant and can be melted and shaped into sheets, bottles, and other products, making certain plastics now available as a biodegradable product. Following that discovery, polyhydroxylalkanoates (PHAs) were produced directly from renewable resources by microbes. They are approximately 95% cellular bacteria and can be manipulated by genetic strategies. The composition and biodegradability of PHAs can be regulated by blending them with other natural polymers. In the 1980s the company ICI Zenecca commercialized PHAs under the name Biopol. It was used for the production of shampoo bottles and other cosmetic products. Consumers were willing to pay more for this product because it was natural and biodegradable, a response which had not occurred before. [13]Now biodegradable technology has become a highly developed market with applications in product packaging, production and medicine. Biodegradable technology is concerned with the manufacturing science of biodegradable materials. It imposes science-based mechanisms of plant genetics into contemporary industrial processes. Scientists and manufacturing corporations can help impact climate change by developing a use of plant genetics that would mimic some technologies. By looking to plants, such as biodegradable material harvested through photosynthesis, waste and toxins can be minimized. [14]Oxo-biodegradable technology, which has further developed biodegradable plastics, has also emerged. Oxo-biodegradation is defined by CEN (the European Standards Organisation) as "degradation resulting from oxidative and cell-mediated phenomena, either simultaneously or successively." Whilst sometimes described as "oxo-fragmentable," and "oxo-degradable" these terms describe only the first or oxidative phase and should not be used for material which degrades by the process of oxo-biodegradation defined by CEN: the correct description is "oxo-biodegradable. "By combining plastic products with very large polymer molecules, which contain only carbon and hydrogen, with oxygen in the air, the product is rendered capable of decomposing in anywhere from a week to one to two years. This reaction occurs even without prodegradant additives but at a very slow rate. That is why conventional plastics, when discarded, persist for a long time in the environment. Oxo-biodegradable formulations catalyze and accelerate the biodegradation process but it takes considerable skill and experience to balance the ingredients within the formulations so as to provide the product with a useful life for a set period, followed by degradation and biodegradation. [15]Biodegradable technology is especially utilized by the bio-medical community. Biodegradable polymers are classified into three groups: medical, ecological, and dual application, while in terms of origin they are divided into two groups: natural and synthetic. [16] The Clean Technology Group is exploiting the use of supercritical carbon dioxide, which under high pressure at room temperature is a solvent that can use biodegradable plastics to make polymer drug coatings. The polymer (meaning a material composed of molecules with repeating structural units that form a long chain) is used to encapsulate a drug prior to injection in the body and is based on lactic acid, a compound normally produced in the body, and is thus able to be excreted naturally. The coating is designed for controlled release over a period of time, reducing the number of injections required and maximizing the therapeutic benefit. Professor Steve Howdle states that biodegradable polymers are particularly attractive for use in drug delivery, as once introduced into the body they require no retrieval or further manipulation and are degraded into soluble, non-toxic by-products. Different polymers degrade at different rates within the body and therefore polymer selection can be tailored to achieve desired release rates. [17]Other biomedical applications include the use of biodegradable, elastic shape-memory polymers. Biodegradable implant materials can now be used for minimally invasive surgical procedures through degradable thermoplastic polymers. These polymers are now able to change their shape with increase of temperature, causing shape memory capabilities as well as easily degradable sutures. As a result, implants can now fit through small incisions, doctors can easily perform complex deformations, and sutures and other material aides can naturally biodegrade after a completed surgery. [18]Etymology of "biodegradable" [ edit]The first known use of biodegradable in a biological context was in 1961 when it was employed to describe the breakdown of material into the base components of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen by microorganisms. Now biodegradable is commonly associated with environmentally friendly products that are part of the earth's innate cycles and capable of decomposing back into natural elements.

PCBs intended for extreme environments often have a conformal coating, which is applied by dipping or spraying after the components have been soldered. The coat prevents corrosion and leakage currents or shorting due to condensation. The earliest conformal coats were wax; modern conformal coats are usually dips of dilute solutions of silicone rubber, polyurethane, acrylic, or epoxy. Another technique for applying a conformal coating is for plastic to be sputtered onto the PCB in a vacuum chamber. The chief disadvantage of conformal coatings is that servicing of the board is rendered extremely difficult.

Jesus' First Miracle Jesus' First Miracle The unmistakable miracle recorded in John 2: 1-11 is of great importance for several reasons. This miracle of Jesus turning the water into wine was Jesus' first miracle (Jn. 2: 11). This initial miracle prepared Jesus' disciples for the great work they were to do. As a result of the miracle we read, "and his disciples believed on him" (vs. 11). The miracle also illustrates the nature of true Bible miracles and can be easily distinguished from the "lying wonders" of the First Century and today (cp. 2 Thes. 2: 9). It is regrettable that this wonderful miracle has been abused to advocate social drinking. Please consider the miracle and then we shall comment on it. "1: And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3: And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5: His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6: And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7: Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8: And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9: When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10: And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11: This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him." Comments on verse one. Was this the "third day" after Jesus' conversation with Nathanael (Jn. 1: 45-51)? Some scholars suggest the following breakdown: Day one (Jn. 1: 29); day two (Jn. 1: 35); and day three (Jn. 1: 43). Hence, the "third day" of John 2: 1 would be the same as John 1: 43. We are told that Jesus was in "Bethabara beyond Jordan" (Jn. 1: 28). If the "third day" (Jn. 2: 1) is the same as the "day following" (cp. Jn. 1: 43), Jesus was probably in Cana near Jericho. If, however, the "third day" is three days removed from John 1: 43, it would have given Jesus time to have journeyed the 20 hours (70 miles) needed to be in one of the sites which claim to be the scene of this first miracle (there appear to have been several Cana's, even in the province of Galilee). The author (no doubt, John) adds that Jesus' mother was present. John consistently omits reference to himself and close relatives. Mary was probably an assistant to the wedding. Weddings in the East were often major productions, involving much work. It is important that John mention that Mary was present, as we shall see. Exposition of verse two. The invitation to a wedding in Jesus' day was a very serious matter. Along with this invitation, there were consequential considerations (see Matthew 22: 1-24 and Manners and Customs of Bible Lands, pg. 61 ff., by Wight). Jesus was not an Ascetic or member of the Essenes (a group of isolationists). In this matter, Jesus was unlike John the Baptist (Matt. 11: 18, 19). God himself had instituted marriage and it would only be appropriate that Jesus attend (Gen. 2). Consideration of verse three. The American Standard Translation has, "And when the wine failed." In other words, the wine had been consumed. Some picture the scene as that of gluttony and drunkenness. The New International Version has in verse ten, "guest had too much to drink." Some say Jesus and his disciples were the cause of the wine shortage, they had consumed it; hence, Mary comes to Jesus with the problem (they use Matthew 11: 19 in their argumentation, see more later). It must be remembered,
The primary physiological cue for migration are the changes in the day length. These changes are also related to hormonal changes in the birds. In the period before migration, many birds display higher activity or Zugunruhe (German: migratory restlessness), first described by Johann Friedrich Naumann in 1795, as well as physiological changes such as increased fat deposition. The occurrence of Zugunruhe even in cage-raised birds with no environmental cues (e.g. shortening of day and falling temperature) has pointed to the role of circannual endogenous programs in controlling bird migrations. Caged birds display a preferential flight direction that corresponds with the migratory direction they would take in nature, changing their preferential direction at roughly the same time their wild conspecifics change course.

Their brains aren't sophisticated enough to have developed a concept of self-image or to recognize that image in a mirror. Read up about the [mirror test](_URL_0_). Only relatively few animals are capable of passing it, and they're all mammals except for European Magpies. The only non-primate mammals known to be capable of passing are elephants, dolphins, and orcas. Most other animals either don't recognize the mirror as providing useful visual information at all, or they treat it as if it were a window. Cats seem to alternate between the two, both within and between individuals.
Acid-fast bacteria, such as Mycobacteria, are resistant to decolorization by acids during staining procedures. The high mycolic acid content of Mycobacteria, is responsible for the staining pattern of poor absorption followed by high retention. The most common staining technique used to identify acid-fast bacteria is the Ziehl-Neelsen stain or acid-fast stain, in which the acid-fast bacilli are stained bright-red and stand out clearly against a blue background. L-form bacteria are strains of bacteria that lack cell walls. The main pathogenic bacteria in this class is Mycoplasma (not to be confused with Mycobacteria).

What You Need to Know About Humira (Adalimumab) Arthritis Treatment Biologics What You Need to Know About Humira (Adalimumab)An injectable biologic drug for rheumatoid arthritis By Carol Eustice \| Reviewed by Grant Hughes, MDUpdated August 16, 2017Share Pin Email Print Article Table of Contents Overview Dosing Indications Side Effects Back To Top Abbott Adalimumab, more commonly known as Humira, is a biologic drug that works by blocking a protein known as TNF-alpha. Normally, TNF-alpha helps fight infection, but in excess amounts, it can cause painful inflammation and severe joint damage (i.e. common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of inflammatory arthritis ). Drugs like Humira have helped many rheumatoid arthritis patients by relieving pain, improving joint function, and slowing disease progression. Overview Humira is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody. This means that, even though it is made in non-human biologic systems, the actual protein makeup of the drug is identical to that of human antibodies. And this distinguished Humira from the monoclonal antibody TNF blocker that was approved before it—its protein composition was derived in part from a non-human (mouse) antibody. In 2002, Humira was first approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. It is one of the several biologic drugs that block TNF-alpha, including: Enbrel (Etanercept) : The first anti-TNF drug approved by the FDA for rheumatoid arthritis and certain inflammatory types of arthritis in 1998. Remicade (Infliximab) : The second TNF inhibitor to be approved by the FDA in 1999. Simponi (Golimumab) : Approved by the FDA on April 24, 2009. Cimzia (Certolizumab Pegol): Approved by the FDA on May 14, 2009. Dosing Humira is given by subcutaneous (under the skin) self-injection once every two weeks. Patients may be advised by their doctor to inject it every week if every 14 days is not enough. It was first available in a single use, pre-filled syringe. A single use, the disposable delivery system has also been developed, known as the Humira Pen. The recommended dose, however, is 40mg as a subcutaneous self-injection using the pre-filled syringe or Humira pen every other week. Methotrexate, other non-biologic DMARDs, glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or analgesics (pain medications) may be continued while being treated with Humira. However, other biologic DMARDs should not be used. Indications More indications have been added for Humira since it was initially approved by the FDA. It may be prescribed to also treat: Rheumatoid Arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis Psoriatic Arthritis Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Plaque Psoriasis Ulcerative Colitis Adult and Pediatric Crohn's Disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa Side Effects Common side effects associated with Humira include: Mild injection site reaction Rash Headache Stomach upset or nausea Pneumonia Adverse Reactions Because it suppresses the immune response in the body which normally fights off infection, Humira has been associated with serious infections, such as tuberculosis, sepsis, and fungal infections. It may also worsen the symptoms of diseases of the nervous system (e.g., demyelinating disorders). In clinical trials, some patients had higher rates of cancer and lymphoma over a period of 24 months. Who Should Not Take Humira Humira should not be used by patients with a known allergy to the drug or its components. It is also not to be used by patients who are pregnant or nursing. The drug should not be prescribed for a patient who has an active infection or patients who are predisposed to infection, including patients with uncontrolled diabetes or patients who have a history of recurring infections. Tell Your Doctor If you have an active infection If you have been infected with Hepatitis B or are a carrier (Humira has been associated with reactivation of Hepatitis B)If you have numbness, tingling, or multiple sclerosis or a central nervous system disorder If you have been treated for heart failure Before receiving any vaccines or surgery To report suspected adverse reactions, you may contact Abb Vie Inc.at 1-800-633-9110 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Katherine DeClerq, CP24.com TORONTO -- Hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area welcomed the first babies of 2020 early Wednesday morning. A bouncing baby boy was born at exactly the stroke of midnight at Humber River Hospital in Toronto. Weighing a healthy 8.3 pounds, Amiir Deeq Mohammed could be seen on Wednesday afternoon in his mother’s arms, swaddled in a knit blue blanket. “I’m very happy,” the boy’s father said. “I am excited to have this wonderful, special baby boy.” Deeq Mohammed Farah said that his son was due a couple of weeks ago, so the family was not expecting a new year’s baby. “When the baby came, at the right time, the attendants, nurses and doctors, they explained it really well. They said you hit the new year,” Farah said. “It was a great surprise,” “It’s a miracle boy.” Trillium Health Partners, a hospital system that serves certain areas of the GTA, said that their first baby of the year was delivered just 50 seconds after midnight on New Year’s Day at Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga. The little boy, named Aryan, weighed in at about eight pounds. Speaking with CP24 on Wednesday morning, the baby’s mother said that, at the time, she had no idea Aryan was the first child born in Mississauga this year. “When the baby was delivered, everyone was so excited,” Anu Walia said. “We couldn’t be happier.” “Fifty seconds into the new year and we got this little precious gift,” Simran Walia said while holding his newborn son in his arms. Anu Walia’s delivery date was scheduled for Jan. 13 and she said that her family was already preparing for a 2020 baby—but those plans were put on hold when she went into labour early. “My maternity photoshoot, my baby shower, all the decorations, everything was planned around 2020, so when the labour hit yesterday, I was like, ‘oh my gosh all that is going to go to waste now,’” Anu Walia said. “But the baby actually helped us out and came after the new year.” Other hospitals ring in New Year with newborns Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto welcomed its first bundle of joy at 12:13 a.m. and Lakeridge Health in Oshawa announced their first baby was born at 12:34 a.m. Leo Di Giovanni was born at 2:31 a.m. at Mackenzie Health in Richmond Hill.

At North York General Hospital, Kert Lin was born at 5:51 a.m. "Congrats to the family and happy birthday to all our New Years babies," the hospital said.

The Warnerke Standard Sensitometer consisted of a frame holding an opaque screen with an array of typically 25 numbered, gradually pigmented squares brought into contact with the photographic plate during a timed test exposure under a phosphorescent tablet excited before by the light of a burning Magnesium ribbon. The speed of the emulsion was then expressed in 'degrees' Warnerke (sometimes seen as Warn. or °W.) corresponding with the last number visible on the exposed plate after development and fixation. Each number represented an increase of 1/3 in speed, typical plate speeds were between 10° and 25° Warnerke at the time.

Popeye In November 1932, King Features signed an agreement with Fleischer Studios to have Popeye and the other Thimble Theatre characters begin appearing in a series of animated cartoons. The first cartoon in the series was released in 1933, and Popeye cartoons, released by Paramount Pictures, would remain a staple of Paramount's release schedule for nearly 25 years. William Costello was the original voice of Popeye, a voice that would be replicated by later performers, such as Jack Mercer and even Mae Questel. Many of the Thimble Theatre characters, including Wimpy, Poopdeck Pappy, and Eugene the Jeep, eventually made appearances in the Paramount cartoons, though appearances by Olive Oyl's extended family and Ham Gravy were notably absent. Thanks to the animated-short series, Popeye became even more of a sensation than he had been in comic strips, and by 1938, polls showed that the sailor was Hollywood's most popular cartoon character.[23][24]
BusyBox is software that provides several stripped-down Unix tools in a single executable file. It runs in a variety of POSIX environments such as Linux, Android, and FreeBSD, although many of the tools it provides are designed to work with interfaces provided by the Linux kernel. It was specifically created for embedded operating systems with very limited resources. The authors dubbed it "The Swiss Army knife of Embedded Linux", as the single executable replaces basic functions of more than 300 common commands. It is released as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2.
Elections in the United States Elections in the United States are held for government officials at the federal, state, and local levels. At the federal level, the nation's head of state, the President, is elected indirectly by the people of each state, through an Electoral College. Today, these electors almost always vote with the popular vote of their state. All members of the federal legislature, the Congress, are directly elected by the people of each state. There are many elected offices at state level, each state having at least an elective Governor and legislature. There are also elected offices at the local level, in counties, cities, towns, townships, boroughs, and villages. According to a study by political scientist Jennifer Lawless, there were 519,682 elected officials in the United States as of 2012.[1]
Different linguists therefore take different approaches to the problem of assigning sounds to phonemes. For example, they differ in the extent to which they require allophones to be phonetically similar. There are also differing ideas as to whether this grouping of sounds is purely a tool for linguistic analysis, or reflects an actual process in the way the human brain processes a language.

1. Because our survival doesn't depend on it. Primates have very vulnerable young who develop slowly, but because we're social creatures we protect our children until they can take care of themselves. This means this means we can develop slowly and don't have as many hard coded, ready by birth, systems in our brains. (we have a few, the most obvious one being suckling) 2. Walking on 2 feet is quite a lot harder than swimming or even walking on 4 legs. The only animals who walk from birth are the ones who need it or else risk dying or being left behind (and then dying). Nest animals aren't very mobile from birth either.
Giovanni Boccaccio facts, information, pictures \| Encyclopedia.com articles about Giovanni Boccaccio COPYRIGHT 2004 The Gale Group Inc. Giovanni Boccaccio The Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) is best known for the Decameron. For his Latin works and his role in reviving Hellenistic learning in Florence, he may be considered one of the early humanists. The culture of Giovanni Boccaccio is rooted in the Middle Ages, but his conception of life points forward to the Renaissance. Like his fellow poet Petrarch, he straddled two ages, and yet he was unlike Petrarch—a fervent admirer of classical and Christian antiquity—in his acceptance of the medieval tradition. Boccaccio's work reflects both his bourgeois mercantile background and the chivalric ideals of the Neapolitan court, where he spent his youth. He strove to raise Italian prose to an art form nurtured in both medieval rhetoric and classical Latin prose; he had immense admiration for his great Italian contemporaries Dante and Petrarch, as well as for the classical authors. In this sense Boccaccio's vernacular humanism contrasts with Petrarch's classical humanism. Boccaccio's father, Boccaccio di Chellino, was a merchant from the small Tuscan town of Certaldo. About 1312 he went to Florence and there worked successfully for the powerful banking company of the Bardi and Peruzzi. The exact date and place of Boccaccio's illegitimate birth are unknown. Despite tales of his birth in Paris of a Parisian noblewoman, a story derived partly from some of Boccaccio's early works whose autobiographical value is disputed, it seems that he was born in 1313 in Certaldo or more likely in Florence, where he spent his childhood. Of these years he wrote, "I remember that, before having completed my seventh year, a desire was born in me to compose verse, and I wrote certain poetic fancies." Early Life In 1321 Giovanni began to study Latin. But his father did not encourage his literary interests, and by 1328 Boccaccio was in Naples to learn commerce, probably with the Bardi. After 6 years of fruitless apprenticeship, Boccaccio abandoned commerce and reluctantly studied canon law for another 6 years. Later he regretted this lost time. "I do not doubt that if, at an age most suited for this, my father had tolerated it with a serene mind, I would have become one of the celebrated poets; but because he strove to bend my talent first to a lucrative trade and then to lucrative studies, it happened that I am not a merchant, I have not turned out to be a canonist, and have not become a distinguished poet." However, the years were not wasted. Through his father's contacts (he was a financial adviser to King Robert of Anjou), Boccaccio was introduced to the cultivated society of the court at Naples. There he knew scientists and theologians, men of letters and the law. He learned astronomy and mythology and was introduced to Greek language and culture. He read the classical Latin authors, French adventure romances, and Italian poets. In the refined, and learned environment of Naples he matured and became a writer. On Holy Saturday 1336, in the church of S. Lorenzo, Boccaccio saw and began to love ardently the young noblewoman whom he called Fiammetta in his works. She is said to have been Maria, the natural daughter of King Robert and the wife of the Count of Aquino, though there is no documentary evidence of her identity. Fiammetta returned Boccaccio's love for a time and was the inspiration for all his youthful works in Italian. Italian Works Boccaccio's earliest composition, probably preceding his love for Fiammetta, is the Caccia di Diana, 18 cantos in terza rima chronicling the events of the Neapolitan court under fictitious and allegorical names. The Filocolo, a prose romance inspired by Fiammetta about 1336, retells the tale of the noble lovers Florio and Biancofiore. Based on a French romance, it contains a vivid portrayal of Neapolitan society and two stories which later reappear in the Decameron. The Filostrato (ca. 1338) is composed of nine cantos in octaves.

How to Celebrate Grandparents' Day Edit Article How to Celebrate Grandparents' Day National Grandparents' Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day. If you're lucky enough to have your grandparents around, take this opportunity to appreciate and get to know them. Steps1 Get your grandparents a gift. Understandably, it can be hard to shop for someone who's more than 50 years older than you, but that's part of bridging the gap. Do you know what their interests are? Find out!2 Spend the day with them. It'll probably be a quieter, slower day than you're used to, and that's okay. There was a time when silence didn't make people so uncomfortable, and your grandparents will enjoy the company. Do whatever they do; don't try to do what you want to do. Get a peek into what their daily lives are like. And don't judge or complain or criticize. Just try to appreciate the time you're spending with them.3 Ask them questions about their lives. Let them tell you about what it was like when they were kids, even if you have heard the story a million times. Ask them about the most adventurous thing they ever did. Ask them who their first love was, their first kiss. Ask them when in their lives they felt the most happy, the most scared, the most excited. You might discover amazing things about them!It might also get awkward if you find your grandparents pining for times gone past. You'll probably feel bad for bringing up memories that made them feel wistful. But by not asking about their lives, it'll show that you don't really care. And if you don't ask, who will? One day those memories will be lost if they don't share them with you. Some grandparents will be closed off. They might not want to talk about their pasts. Don't push it. Looking through old pictures together can be a good way to bond.4 Talk about all the things you used to do, or if they are well enough, go out and do something you used to do with them when you were a kid, like going to the museum, painting, or fishing.5 Talk about memories they had with their grandparents, or about what your parents were like (you might dig up some embarrassing stories about them that you can tell at the dinner table)!6 Tell them about yourself. What's your daily life like? Who are you dating or crushing on? What are your goals? Give your grandparents a chance to get to know you. You may be surprised how interested they will be in the little things you have going on in your life.7 Tell them that you love them -and will always. All they need is your love. Nothing else..

Insects (from Latin insectum, a calque of Greek ἔντομον [éntomon], "cut into sections") are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. They are the most diverse group of animals on the planet, including more than a million described species and representing more than half of all known living organisms. The number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million, and potentially represent over 90% of the differing animal life forms on Earth. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, a habitat dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans.
Alcantara (material) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Alcantara examples Alcantara in Lancia Delta Pink Alcantara in Lancia YAlcantara is a covering microfibre material manufactured and marketed by Alcantara S.p. A. It is primarily used in the design, fashion, accessories, consumer electronics, automotive and marine industries. [1]The material was developed in the early 1970s by Miyoshi Okamoto, a scientist working for the Japanese chemical company Toray Industries. It was based on the same technology as another product from the same company named Ultrasuede. [2] Around 1972, a joint venture between Italian chemical company ENI and Toray formed Alcantara Sp A in order to manufacture and distribute the material. [3] [4] The company is now owned by Toray and Mitsui. Alcantara is produced by combining an advanced spinning process (producing very low denier bi-component "islands in the sea" fibre) and chemical and textile production processes (needle punching, buffing, impregnation, extraction, finishing, dyeing, etc.) which interact with each other. Contents [ hide ]1 Composition2 Current uses3 References4 External links Composition [ edit]Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, [5] giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it may be identified as such. Some versions are designated as flame retardant in order to meet certain fire standards for both furnishings and automobile applications. [3]Current uses [ edit]Alcantara has applications including furniture, [6] clothing, jewellery, helmets and automotive (such as in seating, dash trimming and headliners in many high-end OEM automotive suppliers). In the world of high fashion, Louis Vuitton uses Alcantara linings in many of its bags. Most famously, in the collaboration with Takashi Murakami under the creative direction of fashion designer Marc Jacobs, wherein the white Multicolor Monogram bags all have a bright fuchsia Alcantara lining. Alcantara is being used currently as a flame-retardant driver seat covering material for Formula One race cars, including the Williams Formula One 2011 FW33 car. [7] It is also used as a covering material for high-end headphones including the Sennheiser HD800, the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear, [8] and Bose Quiet Comfort 35 [9] as well as for other consumer products such as Microsoft's Alcantara keyboard cover for Surface Pro (2017), [10] Microsoft's Surface Laptop keyboard [11] and Samsung's Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+ and Note 8 [12] smartphone covers. [13] Alcantara is also used in Space X's Crew Dragon capsule.

The monarch has limited power; the King has immunity, but the real power lies with the ministers. The monarch is neutral and does not make pronouncements about political topics. The King & his family

Television rights alone for the period 2010 to 2013 have been purchased for £1.782 billion.

The shell is basically their rib cage. The ridge down the middle is their spine, the sold back is fused ribs, as is the solid chest piece Just like your bones, their shell grows with them as they age. Also like you, their soft body can get much larger or smaller depending on how much they eat and it won't change their bone structure. This is why you occasionally see fat turtles that are too big for their shells, their bones stopped growing but they kept packing on the pounds

Sam's Club \| Walmart Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia Template:Ref improve section The first Sam's Club opened on April 7, 1983 in Midwest City, Oklahoma in the United States . [5] In 1989, Sam's entered New Jersey with a store in Delran in a former Two Guys/Jefferson Ward/Bradlees store. This was Walmart's first foray into the Northeast. The first Walmart discount store in New Jersey opened in 1991 in Turnersville. The company entered the Pennsylvania market in 1990. In 1993, Walmart acquired PACE Membership Warehouse from Kmart and converted many (but not all) PACE locations into Sam's Clubs. The latest flagship store opening Template:As of was in Fayetteville, Arkansas . The largest Sam's Club store is located in Pineville, NC with Template:Convert of retail space that was formerly an Incredible Universe. On September 24, 2006, Sam's Club received a new logo. The new logo has an updated serif font and features a green and blue diamond inside the big blue diamond, found above the word 'Sam's'. Sam's Club's previous slogan was "We Are In Business For Small Business" until 2006, the decision to remove the slogan comes as Sam's Club attempts to remove itself from serving just small businesses and open up to more individual customers. In December 2007. Sam's Club launched a new slogan, "Enjoy the Possibilities". Since then it became an official advertising slogan, mentioned in television and radio advertisements, but it is not mentioned on its website. As of early January 2008 the "Enjoy the Possibilities" slogan was no longer in use. Sam's Club launched their latest slogan "Savings Made Simple" in the fourth quarter of 2009. Starting in April 2007 there was speculation of a possible sale or spinoff of Sam's Club from parent company Walmart. [6] [7] At Walmart's 2007 annual shareholder's meeting in June, management said that Sam's Club is not for sale, although they did not say they are not considering a spinoff. [8] On February 26, 2009, Walmart Canada announced that it would close all six of its Canadian Sam's Club locations. [9] [10] [11] This was part of Walmart Canada's decision to shift focus towards supercentre stores, but some industry observers suggested that the operation was struggling in competition with Costco and the non-membership The Real Canadian Superstore (known as Maxi & Cie in Quebec ), that had a well-established history in the country. Sam's Club also rebranded the two as yet unopened locations as new Wal-Mart Superstores. In January 2010, it was announced that ten stores would be closed, including four in California. At the same time, Sam's will open six new stores at various locations in the United States. [12] On January 24, 2010, it was announced that approximately 11,200 Sam's Club employees would be laid off. The layoffs resulted from the decision to outsource product sampling duties to an outside company (Rogers, Arkansas-based Shopper Events, which already performs in-store product demonstrations for Walmart) and to eliminate New Business Membership Representative positions throughout the chain. Most of the laid-off employees were part-time and represented about 10% of the total Sam's Club workforce. [13] Design File:SamsClubLerdo.jpg Like other warehouse clubs, Sam's Club sells most of its merchandise in bulk and directly off pallets . The clubs are arranged much like warehouses , with merchandise stocked in warehouse-style steel bins. Template:As of there were 602 Sam's Clubs in the United States . [3] Products sold include jewelry, designer goods, sunglasses, crystal and collectibles, electronics, floral, apparel, food and meats. Most locations have Pharmacy, Tire and Battery, Photo, Bakery, Optical, Café and Floral departments. Sam's Club markets items under the private labels Member's Mark, Bakers & Chefs, and Sam's Club — including products by Richelieu Foods , [14] a private label manufacturer of frozen pizza, salad dressing, sauces, marinades, condiments and deli salads. Sam's Club does not sell the Sam's Choice or Great Value brands, that are available in Wal-mart stores. However Sam's

In 1991 a mummy of a neolithic body, known as Ötzi the Iceman, was discovered by hikers on the Similaun glacier. His clothing and gear indicate that he lived in an alpine farming community, while the location and manner of his death - an arrowhead was discovered in his shoulder - suggests he was travelling from one place to another. Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA of Ötzi, has shown that he belongs to the K1 subclade which cannot be categorized into any of the three modern branches of that subclade. The new subclade has provisionally been named K1ö for Ötzi.
Triangular Number Sequence Triangular Number Sequence This is the Triangular Number Sequence: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ... This sequence is generated from a pattern of dots which form a triangle. By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can find the next number of the sequence: A Rule We can make a "Rule" so we can calculate any triangular number. First, rearrange the dots (and give each pattern a number n), like this: Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle: The rectangles are n high and n+1 wide and xn is how many dots in the triangle (the value of the Triangular Number n) And we get (remembering we doubled the dots): 2xn = n(n+1)

Atomism References to the concept of atomism and its atoms are found in ancient India and ancient Greece. In the West, atomism emerged in the 5th century BCE with Leucippus and Democritus.[6] In India the Jain,[7][8] Ajivika and Carvaka schools of atomism may date back to the 4th century BCE.[9] The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools later developed theories on how atoms combined into more complex objects.[10]

The Licensing Act 2003, which came into force on 24 November 2005, consolidated the many laws into a single Act. This allowed pubs in England and Wales to apply to the local council for the opening hours of their choice. It was argued that this would end the concentration of violence around 11.30 pm, when people had to leave the pub, making policing easier. In practice, alcohol-related hospital admissions rose following the change in the law, with alcohol involved in 207,800 admissions in 2006/7. Critics claimed that these laws would lead to "24-hour drinking". By the time the law came into effect, 60,326 establishments had applied for longer hours and 1,121 had applied for a licence to sell alcohol 24 hours a day. However nine months later many pubs had not changed their hours, although some stayed open longer at the weekend, but rarely beyond 1:00 am.

Its headwaters are at the Neponset Reservoir in Foxborough, near Gillette Stadium. From there, the Neponset meanders generally northeast for about 29 miles (47 km) to its mouth at Dorchester Bay between Quincy and the Dorchester section of Boston, near the painted gas tank. [1]The Neponset River forms the southern boundary of the city of Boston, passing through the neighborhoods of Readville, Hyde Park, Mattapan and Dorchester, and forming with the northern border of the city of Quincy. In addition, the Neponset touches the towns of Foxborough, Walpole, Sharon, Norwood, Canton, Westwood, Dedham, and Milton. The Neponset River is fed by a drainage basin of approximately 130 square miles, a watershed that includes numerous aquifers, wetlands, streams and surrounding upland areas. [1] Some 250,000 people live in the Neponset River watershed, which in addition to the towns listed above, includes portions of Stoughton, Medfield, Dover, and Randolph. The Canton River, a tributary of the Neponset River, is located in Canton, Massachusetts. It flows under the Canton Viaduct. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Neponset River Reservation3 In popular culture4 References5 External links5.1 River and watershed5.2 Greenway and recreation History [ edit]Before Europeans arrived, the area was inhabited by Algonquian -speaking Native American tribes. The Wamsutta site (19-NF-70) is a paleoindian site, which was dated to 10210 ± 60 BP ). [2] Evidence of habitation along the Neponset River also includes the Middle Archaic (ca. 5000 BC) at sites such as Green Hill near the Blue Hills. [3]The river's recorded history begins in 1619 when Native Americans traveled down the Neponset River to Thompson's Island, where they traded furs with English settlers. [4]The falling waters of the Neponset provided the energy for the country's first water-powered grist mill, gunpowder mill, paper mill and the Revere Copper Company, among others. [1]The upper stretch of the Neponset River, in Foxborough, Walpole and Norwood, is steeply sloped, dropping about 228 feet (69 m) over its first 12 miles, (19 km) and so the earliest years of the Industrial Revolution brought the Neponset to prominence. In 1635, Israel Stoughton built the first dam on the Neponset (only the second dam in the entire New World) for his grist mill. It was the first of three mills for flour, gunpowder and paper making. In 1639, English settlers in Dedham began digging a canal connecting the Charles River with Mother Brook, a tributary of the Neponset, in order to provide their town with water power for mills; it was the first man-made canal in North America and increased the water flow in the lower sections of the Neponset. In 1640, shipbuilding began at Gulliver's Creek Wharf, and in 1673 John Trescott built a lumber mill on the river. [ citation needed]In 1765, a chocolate mill was established by Dr. James Baker and Irish immigrant John Hannon (later known as Walter Baker & Company producing Baker's Chocolate) in the Lower Mills section of Dorchester, and in 1770 Daniel Vose's Wholesale Shipping Warehouses at the second Milton Town Landing at Lower Mills were at the peak of their operation. Ship building and commercial shipping were the major river industries at the estuary. In 1773, George Clark built a paper mill on remnants of Trescott's Lumber Mill, which became the Tileston and Hollingsworth Paper Mill in 1836. In 1826, the river became the terminus of the Granite Railway, the first commercial railway in the United States. This river was central to the establishment of the town of Walpole [ citation needed]. Neponset River Reservation [ edit]Today the Neponset River and its watershed are increasingly being protected and opened up as a recreational destination for the benefit of local residents. Several recommendations of the 1966 Lower Neponset River Reservation Master Plan have been implemented, including the reclamation of the former Hallet Street landfill and the old Neponset Drive-In to provide the 66-acre (270,000 m 2) Pope John Paul II Park, which opened to the public in 2001. At Squantum Point in Quincy, phase one of Squantum Point Park, 25 acres (100,000 m 2) of a 50-acre (200,000 m 2) former U. S. Navy Airfield, was developed as waterfront parkland with assistance from National Grid plc and dedicated in the spring of 2001. In popular culture [ edit]The Neponset River figures in the movie Black Mass, referencing an area south and east of the Keystone Shoreline in Dorchester, Massachusetts on the north bank, underneath the area where the Interstate 93 / Southeast Expressway / Route 1 bridge spans the river. A character in the movie makes reference to the area as "Bulger's Burial Ground", where crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger had the bodies of several of his murder victims buried. That unmarked burial ground really did exist, but in actuality was approximately one mile north of the area referenced in the film, near Tenean Beach in the Dorchester Shores Reservation.2.4 miles (3.9 km) of the Lower Neponset River Trail opened in 2003. [5] The trail follows the former right-of-way of the Dorchester and Milton Branch Railroad, the western part of which is also used by the MBTA Ashmont–Mattapan High Speed Line.

Capitals Along the Danube River Posted in Austria , Hungary , Serbia , Slovakia , They Said by Traveling Cricket 0 Comments (c) Travel Cricket. Budapest 2011 The Danube River flows through four national capital cities and ten countries. Choosing one of the river Danube cruises to enjoy the beauty of this body of water is a very good idea, especially if you are looking for a romantic vacation. However, making sure you stop in the capital cities along the way to enjoy what they have to offer will help you understand the importance of this river – Danube. European Union’s longest river and the second longest on the continent (after Volga), flows for 2872 km before emptying into the Black Sea and creating the enchanting Danube Delta in Romania and Ukraine. Going from West to East, the first capital it passes through is Vienna, Austria’s capital. The Danube doesn’t even touch the city but the man-made Danube Canal does. Head up in Danube Tower for an areal view of the Danube and its canal. Going further East, we reach Bratislava , Slovakia’s capital. The city sprawls on both banks of the river. Over the centuries, the Danube became the most important transportation route to other areas. Nowadays, you can cross the bridges which span the river and spend time in the parks which were created in its vicinity. Next, it’s time to visit Budapest, where the Danube splits the city into two magnificent parts: Buda and Pest. It also creates several islands, out of which Margitsziget is the most well known as a place to spend your spare time and go to concerts. There are several places which offer an amazing view of the Danube. Up on Gellert Hill, by the Citadella, as well as on Castle Hill near the Royal Palace, you can see the beauty of the river crossing the city. The last capital on its route is Belgrade , Serbia’s capital. The city is situated at the confluence of two rivers: Danube and Sava, which account for a total of 7 bridges and a lot of interesting nightlife spots in the vicinity. The Belgrade Fortress is a good place for some panoramic views of the river. Please comment below and enjoy these related articles
The Signs of Ketosis on Atkins Diets The Signs of Ketosis on Atkins Dietsby ANDREA CESPEDES July 18, 2017The Atkins diet, first published in 1972 and reinvented 20 years later, has helped countless people lose weight, but isn't without controversy. The diet severely limits your intake of carbohydrates -- found in sugar, bread, pasta, most fruits, starchy vegetables and many processed snacks -- to encourage your body to lose fat. Often, this pushes you into a state of ketosis, a process that occurs when you burn fat for fuel. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Ketosis isn't inherently harmful, but in some cases can lead to a build up of the ketone bodies, causing dehydration and changes in your blood chemistry. Though a blood test is the most accurate way to determine if you're in ketosis, certain other physical changes provide clues that you're in this state. Ketosis and the Atkins Diet Your body usually uses glucose, derived from carbohydrates, for energy -- particularly to fuel the brain. Ketones are produced when you're short on carbohydrates and must burn fat for fuel. When you produce ketones for energy, you are in ketosis. Phase One, or the "Induction Phase," of Atkins will likely cause you to produce ketones. During these first two weeks, you consume no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. This represents a significant restriction in carbohydrates -- the Institute of Medicine recommends you eat 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories from carbs, or 225 to 325 grams daily on a standard 2,000-calorie diet. To meet your low-carb limit, the Atkins diet has you subsist primarily on meats, fish, poultry, eggs, oils, some cheese and watery, fibrous vegetables with few carbohydrates, such as lettuce and cucumbers. Breath and Urine Signs of Ketosis Ketones are burned for energy, but also breathed out through the lungs and excreted in the urine. As a result, your breath takes on a fruity odor when you're in ketosis. Your urine may also smell fruity, or slightly like nail polish remover or ammonia. You will also be able to detect ketone bodies in your urine using ketone strips. If ketones are present, then the strip will change color after having been dipped into a urine sample. You can purchase these ketone strips at most major drug stores. Look for Increased Fluid Loss Ketosis causes you to urinate more frequently as your kidneys rid themselves of excess fluid. You aren't only losing water, but electrolytes -- such as sodium, magnesium and potassium. This can make you feel fatigued and foggy headed. Having too little sodium can also cause headaches. The general malaise that accompanies the first few days of ketosis is known as the "keto flu. "Drink water to quench your thirst, which may be heightened during ketosis, and consider consuming extra electrolytes as well. Reduced Hunger and Cravings on Atkins Many people report decreased hunger when they shift into ketosis. After about 48 hours to one week, you'll feel satisfied with meals and experience fewer nagging cravings. A small study, published in a 2008 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that people on a ketogenic, low-carbohydrate diet ate less, lost more weight and reported reduced hunger compared to participants who followed a moderately reduced carbohydrate diet and weren't in ketosis. Ketones decreased the participants' appetite, so they actually chose to eat less. That might be because the brain adapts to getting its energy from ketones rather than glucose. Because the brain plays a large role in your appetite -- when it's satisfied, it doesn't send out signals to eat more. This same phenomenon can happen when you fast, or go without food for several days. However, during ketosis, your body uses fat and ketones for fuel -- not protein and lean muscle. When Ketosis Becomes a Concern After the first phase of the Atkins Diet, you'll likely shift out of a state of ketosis as you gradually increase your carbohydrate intake to find your personal Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium, the number of carbohydrates you can eat daily without gaining or losing weight. In high levels, though, ketones can become toxic and cause you to suffer from ketoacidosis. This condition occurs most often in type 1 diabetics whose insulin and blood sugar levels aren't controlled. It isn't likely when you're undertaking a controlled, low-carb diet such as the Atkins plan. If you do experience symptoms such as a rapid breath rate, decreased alertness, headache, muscle stiffness, vomiting, stomach pain and dry skin and mouth, consult a medical provider immediately to ensure your body is OK under ketosis.

He inherited almost his entire fortune, which he has only managed to lose, and has declared bankruptcy to protect the part of his wealth he hasn't blown on shitty business deals * He's an enormous asshole. He has sued, more than one person, for estimating his net wealth, to say nothing of his other frivolous lawsuits. * He's a glory hound above all else that doesn't particularly interested in actually helping... anyone. * Birthers are all horrible people, and I want them out of my Republican Party * [Look at all of these controversies.

The Orenda OE600 is a 600 hp-class liquid-cooled 8-cylinder V-block aircraft engine intended to re-introduce piston power to aircraft normally powered by the famous Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop. The piston engine offers much better fuel economy, which Orenda Aerospace felt would be attractive for older aircraft whose engines were reaching the end of their lifespan. However, changes in Orenda's business in the post-9/11 time frame led to the project being canceled.
