The character was created by George Stone , Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton and portrayed by Matt Frewer . Max Headroom was featured in a music video programme , a feature film , a TV series and television commercials . Contents show Productions Edit The Max Headroom Show 1985 - 1986 The Max Headroom character originated in 1985 - 86 as an announcer for a Music video programme on the British television channel , Channel 4 , called Max Headroom ( TV series ) .

Max Headroom appeared as a stylized head on TV against harsh primary color rotating - line backgrounds , and he became well known for his jerky techno - stuttering speech , Wit , and Puns ( " Like they say when you ' re buying suppositories , ' With friends like that , who needs Enemas ? ' " ) . The Original Max Talking Headroom Show was made by Cinemax in 1987 . and 20 Minutes into the Future The Max Headroom Show was developed into the television movie feature film which in turn became the pilot for a series which ran from 1985 to 1987 . The first episode was presented in an extended edition to American audiences in 1986 on Cinemax . Though officially two seasons , only fourteen episodes were created , and only thirteen aired . The background story provided for the Max Headroom character presents a dystopic look at a run - down near - future dominated by television and large corporations . Max Headroom was shown to have been created from the memories of Max Headroom ( TV series ) . The character ' s name came from the last thing Carter saw during a vehicular accident that put him into a coma : A bar with a sign warning of low clearance , marked " Max . Headroom " along with the height of the bar . The original movie was rebroadcast on More4 on 21 October 2007 as part of the 25th birthday celebrations of Channel 4 .

He was the spokespersonality for Coca - Cola ( specifically New Coke after the return of Coke Classic ) , using his trademark staccato to deliver the slogan " Catch the wave ! " .

Production notes Notwithstanding the publicity for the character , the real image of Max was not computer generated . 3 - D rendering and computing technology in the mid - 1980s was not sufficiently advanced for a full - motion , voice - synced human head to be practical for a television series . Max ' s image was actually that of actor Matt Frewer in latex and foam rubber prosthetic makeup with a Fiberglass suit , superimposed over a moving geometric background . Even the background was not actual computer graphics at first ; it was hand - drawn cel animation The Hitchhiker ' s Guide to the Galaxy ( television series ) TV series . Later in the U.S. version they were actually generated by a Commodore Amiga computer . But when these things were combined with clever editing , the appearance of a computer - generated human head was convincing to many .

The American Themes of Gladiator Monday November 21 2011 The Simple Life In Gladiator there is a strong sense of the filmmakers appreciation for the simple life Throughout the movie Maximus yearns to return home to the countryside in Spain and in all of his dreamlike sequences it appears that he is entering his farm It is by doing this that Ridley Scott strikes the viewers with pangs of nostalgia and imparts on them the wish to return to the agrarian life that our Founding Fathers lived General Maximus is considered to be one of the greatest generals in the Roman army so great that the duty of restoring the Republic is bestowed upon him by Emperor Marcus Aurelius However Maximus has never even set foot within Rome and all he wants to do is return to his farm in Spain When describing his home to Marcus Aurelius Maximus talks with tremendous excitement and detail about his house by describing the smells of the herbs in his kitchen and the wild ponies that tease his son When Marcus asks him how long it has been since he Monica Cyrino states about him Maximus dream of a Republican Rome where family farmers become soldiers only when necessary to fight genuine external enemies is set against Commodus spectacle of Rome where staged battles mask the internal erosion of an empire Marcus Aurelius puts Maximus in a position to save the empire even though Maximus never wanted to be a hero After Aurelius gives him the duty he asks Maximus Wont you accept this great honor that I have offered you Maximus replies with a blank face With all my heart no Even though he has never set foot inside of Rome The filmmakers seem to make a large push for America to return to its humble beginnings as an agrarian society through its portrayal of Maximus the farming hero Romewhich is obviously supposed to represent America is so full of sin that even the future emperor is sexually addicted to his sister On the other side of the aisle Maximus represents attaining happiness through pure actions and hard work It was a simpler time when an individual could easily achieve the American Dream through the virtues of hard work and commitment to God family and country said Cyrino Maximus too looks Tea Party want America to return to the time of our founders The ideal has special relevance for American viewers familiar with Founding Father Thomas Jeffersons veneration of his farm at Monticello in Virginia says Cyrino And his concept of the gentleman farmer as the archetype of American nobility and virtuous citizenship The filmmakers of Gladiator wish for America to return to its founding principles Maximus has not only never set foot in the sinful Rome but turned down the great emperor Marcus Aurelius final wish that Maximus revive the Republic It was in both of these instances that it is clear that the filmmakers just want the simple life which they feel is the easiest way to attain the American dream Posted by Max Craddock at 149 AM 1 comment Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest The Foreshadowing of the Decline of America American moviegoers in the year 2000 confident in their countrys unilateral geopolitical dominance experience a shock of recognition followed by a rush of familiarity when they view the spectacular recreation of ancient Rome onscreen Monica Cyrino As hard as it may be to believe it I am going to argue that Ridley Scotts film Gladiator foreshadowed Americas recent decline in power The year 2000 and the decade that preceded it was a great time for America President Bill Clinton had just left office and he left America with one of its first ever budget surpluses Apart from being economically strong the United States was also physically safe with no real apparent foreign dangers It was in this year that Gladiator was released Monica Cyrino stated about the film that The films prologue script scrolled against an austere background with Lisa Gerrards haunting female vocals as its only accompaniment informs the audience rather ominously that Rome is at the height of its power The movie begins with the death of Marcus Aurelius who is stated to be the last of The Five Good Emperors It is from here starting with the rule of his son Commodus that Rome is believed to have started its decline Strangely enough right after this movie was released America started to have struggles that it still is dealing with today A year later on September 11th 2001 two hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center in New York City This initiated Americas war on terrorism which worked as a cover to lead the country into war with Iraq as well as a world wide manhunt for Osama Bin Laden These two wars have helped add to Americas current standing of being 15000000000 in debt It is from these recent horrific instances that it seems Ridley Scott correctly foreshadowed the Posted by Max Craddock at 145 AM No comments Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest Football Many critics and casual moviegoers agree that one of the more impressive aspects of Gladiator is the gladiator battles The amazing swordsmanship shown by the contestants the extremely elaborate but entirely made up costumes that they wear and the frenzied crowd reacting wildly to every landed hit by the gladiators in the arena is what makes the battles so special However I am going to argue that the intent of these scenes is to reflect America and its fascination with tackle football and not only how this sport is brutally violent but also how the screenwriters believe that it negatively In ancient Rome very few gladiator battles were ever fought to the death The contestants often used wooden swords and even when they did use real weapons their lives were spared because the cost to buy train and feed these warriors was massive and it would be a complete waste to kill them However much like modern day football the battles were still athletic feats of pure violence that drove Roman crowds crazy The similarities between these two sports are striking Before Proximo and General Maximus depart for Rome Proximo tries to give Maximus a pep talk on what he should expect in Rome I was not the best because I killed quickly Proximo told Maximus I was the best because the crowd loved me Win the crowd and you will win your freedom Although the athletes in the NFL are far from slaves much of what they do on the field is to please the crowd Massive tackles on another opponent are often followed by a player viciously pounding on his chest or doing some other ridiculous celebration Players do silly dances after scoring touchdowns in hopes of ending up on ESPN These are the reasons that the NFL has the massive following that it does The casual fan doesnt watch football to see how a Quarterback analyzes the defense or to see the flawless swimmoves that Defensive Ends perform They watch to see 250 pound men running upwards of 20 miles an hour collide into other men of the same size and speed Rob Wilson says in his journal article much of the same about the crowds in Ancient Rome that watched the gladiator battles These citizens of Empire under the Pax Romana enjoy the spectacles of bloodshed and agony of combat only as some kind of sublimated solicitation of their own enlistment in the cause and everyday forms of the empire Wilson said Even Gladiators director Ridley Scott hinted at the movies true meaning when he said Mass entertainment provides a visceral experience of things you cant have or cant do However it isnt completely strange that humans are bloodthirsty for violence In fact many philosophers have stated that Another subject the movie tries to cover is the use of professional sports stars as walking talking billboards Athletes are incredibly powerful in what they influence their fans to do They have such a marketability that they have been used in ads for cereal jeans perfume and have even had television shows made about the lives of their WIVES As Monica Cyrino states in her book Most American superstar athletes are no longer associated with teams but celebrated in the media for their own specialized endeavors and achievements These true freeagent athletes are idolized by their fans as individual icons separate from any team further evidence of the current American cultural trend towards alienation from group or corporate identities A perfect example of hinting at the marketing ability of athletes is when Lucius talks to Maximus for the first time and is awestruck by the Spaniards presence Older viewers will be immediately reminded of CocaColas classic commercial starring legendary Defensive Tackle Mean Joe Greene where a small fan gives Joe a Coke after a game and in return Joe tosses him his game jersey The use of this by the filmmakers doesnt seem to be trying to put the players who take advantage of marketing opportunities in a bad light but instead it seems that they are just attempting to show society the mass power that individual players hold it The tone of the movie towards gladiator battles seems to be portrayed in a negative tone and referring to David Franzonis quote in the first paragraph it seems that it was in fact the intent of the filmmakers to do so The film shows what stance they take on this issue by using the simple good versus evil convention by having the good emperor Marcus Aurelius outlaw gladiator battles within Rome and the evil emperor Commodus reinstate them Commodus is portrayed by the filmmakers and remembered by history as a man who teetered on the edge of insanity He was Posted by Max Craddock at 119 AM No comments Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest Labels Football Gladiator Tea Party If a person were to view Gladiator today they would certainly find many similarities in Maximus and Marcus Aurelius to the United States political group The Tea Party Both groups are tired of the way their countries are being run and are looking to make major political overhauls In the beginning of the movie Marcus Aurelius says to General Maximus I will empower you to one end alone to give power back to the people of Rome and to end the corruption that has crippled it This is very similar to the goal of The Tea Party whose website saysThe Tea Party Patriots mission is to restore Americas founding principles of Fiscal Responsibility Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets Both Maximus and The Tea Partys goals are to return their respective countries to the same conditions that they were founded in Maximus and The Tea Party also consider themselves to be grass roots movements meaning that they were founded by common people to help their common man Maximus is a simple man who has no political experience except for his duties as a general and has never even set foot within the city of Rome Similarly the creation of The Tea Party is usually credited to famed conservative blogger Keli Carender who is a woman with no political experience The reason that these grass roots movements are able to gain such support is because people generally trust groups run by their fellow man more than groups run by shady politicians or in the case of Maximus Emperor Commodus The Tea Party strives so hard to convince others that they are a grass roots movement that on its webpage they state Tea Party Patriots is a national grassroots organization that exists to serve and support the thousands of local organizations and millions of grassroots patriots throughout our nation Tea Party Patriots is Very similar to how Maximus is set against Commodus and the evils of the empire The Tea Party considers themselves to be pitted in a battle of good versus evil as well Maximus makes it his goal in the movie to not only restore order to Rome but also to enact revenge on Emperor Commodus for the horrific murders that he committed on Maximus family In Rob Wilsons article he states Maximus the fallen general is in search of moral redemption and public revenge upon illicit power Much like how the Roman empires decline is attributed to Commodus evilness in Gladiator Keli Carender attributes the decline in the United States to the leftwing I will not sit idly by and watch as social democrats socialists or communists attempt to dominate this country Carender says on her blog I am ready to do my part and fight for liberty Join me Both Maximus and The Tea Party are not only fighting for a specific cause but see a clear cut Maximus attempt to start a grass roots movement and bring his country back to its founding principles is an idea that is very much embodied in present day America Much like Maximus the Tea Party was not only started by a nonpolitician but it also has a clearcut enemy Whether the Tea Partys mission will be as successful as General Maximus still remains to be seen Posted by Max Craddock at 1255 AM No comments Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter Share

stronghold stands in the way of Roman victory and the promise of peace throughout the Empire In the opening seconds of the film the viewer is informed that Rome is a militaristic Empire that is in war

Tres Zapotes Stela - 31 BC The Long Count , for which we do not know the Maya name , is commonly considered the Maya ' s linear count of days . In truth it is yet another cycle , but its great length of at least 5126 years makes it essentially a linear count through all of Maya history . The earliest known Long Count date , carved in 31 BC , was found at the Olmec site of Tres Zapotes . The earliest known Maya long count was recorded in year 32 AD at the site of Chiapa de Corzo in the Highlands of The long count is represented as a five place notation system of ascending cycles - kins ( days ) , winals ( 20 - day months ) , tuns ( 360 days ) , k ' atuns ( 20 tuns ) , and bak ' tuns ( 20 k ' atuns ) . It is important to note that the long count ' s version of a year , the tun , is only 360 days , not the solar count of 365 . This means that the long count diverges from the Haab by five days every year , The Five Long Count Positions The largest of the long count ' s five cycles , the bak ' tun , is a period equaling 400 tuns . Many people believe that the full cycle of the Long Count is complete when 13 bak ' tuns have passed since the beginning of the creation of this current universe , identified as the 4th creation in the Maya " story of creation " , the Popol Vuh . That date , currently of such great interest to those anticipating an " end of days " , will occur on December 21 , 2012 AD . To further illustrate how the Long Count moves forward through time , look at the day sequencing around the beginning and end of the cycle : 12 . 19 . 19 . 17 . 19 3 Kawak 7 Kumku August 10 , 3114 BC 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 4 Ahau 8 Kumku August 11 , 3114 BC 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 1 5 Imix 9 Kumku August 12 , 3114 BC 12 . 19 . 19 . 17 . 19 3 Kawak 2 Kankin December 20 , 2012 AD 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 4 Ahau 3 Kankin December 21 , 2012 AD 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 1 5 Imix 4 Kankin December 22 , 2012 AD It ' s important to point out that this is just one possible scenario for how the Long Count functions and flows . There are other scholars who believe that the count would not reset to 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 1 , but rather continue with 13 as the bak ' tuns , being 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 1 , and then 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 2 , and so on up until the 14th bak ' tuns , being represented as 1 . 0 . 0 . Another widely held belief about the Long Count is that the bak ' tun in fact does not reset at 13 , but is rather another cycle of 20 like all the other place values , with the exception of the months , or winals . The winals are 18 , and that is likely because the Maya solar calendar , the Haab , is divided into 18 months of 20 days each . Sir J . Eric Thompson , one of the most influential Mayanists who every studied the calendar , was convinced the baktuns cycle was 20 , " I have throughout assumed that the bak ' tuns were grouped , not in 13 ' s , but in 20 ' s , for the evidence supporting a vigesimal count of baktuns in the Dresden and at Palenque and Copan is too strong to be overridden . I assume that at an early date , when the LC was first invented , the highest period was the baktun and that baktuns were arranged in re - entering series of 13 , but that a subsequent desire to extend the range of time led to the invention of the ( Thompson 1960 , p 316 ) Thompson ' s passage brings up an important fact about the long count that is not often discussed - the fact that the Maya recorded higher cycles above the bak ' tun . Here are the first few of the known long count cycles above bak ' tun : Piktun 20 Bak ' tuns 8000 tuns 2,880,000 days Kalabtun 20 Piktuns 160,000 tuns 57,600,000 days Kinichiltun 20 Kalabtuns 3,200,000 tuns 1,152,000,000 days Alautun 20 Kinichiltuns 64,000,000 tuns 23,040,000,000 days ( It should noted that while these are the names for these cycles that have been used in the literature for almost a century , there is no direct evidence that these were their names in ancient times . ) These higher cycles are not uncommon in the inscriptions . They appear multiple times in the Dresden Codex , and in the carved and painted inscriptions of Palenque , Copan , Quirigua , Tikal , Yaxchilan , and Coba . The very existence of these higher cycles calls into question the notion that the Long Count resets at the 13th bak ' tun . If it did , why then would there be a need for these higher order cycles ? The West Panel of the Temple of the Inscriptions ( drawing by Linda Schele ) Going back to the question of whether the bak ' tun place runs in a cycle of 13 or 20 bak ' tuns , an example from Palenque has long been used to support the argument for 20 bak ' tuns equaling one piktun . The text from the Western Tablet of the Temple of the Inscriptions mentions the date of Pakal ' s birthday and then counts far into the future in order to arrive at 1 piktun . The drawing to the right shows the segment of the text discussed here ( drawing by Linda Schele ) . The mathematics only works if 20 bak ' tuns equal one piktun . Here ' s the progression : 9 . 8 . 9 . 13 . 0 8 Ahau 13 Pop March 24 , 603 AD Pakal ' s Birth + 10 . 11 . 10 . 5 . 8 The text indicates to go this many days into the future To arrive at : ( 1 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 8 ) 5 Lamat 1 Mol The text says 1 piktun 8 kins And then it mentions the calendar round for the date of exactly one piktun : ( 1 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 ) 10 Ahau 13 Yaxk ' in October 13 , 4772 AD One can see how the distance number of 10 . 11 . 10 . 5 . 8 was chosen very intentionally to get all zeros in the lower order cycles . If the bak ' tun cycle was revolving by 13 ' s , then the long count arrived at would have been 1 . 7 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 8 , not 1 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 8 . The Cross Tablet west text drawing by Linda Schele ) As to why these texts discussing Pakal go so far into the future , the facts are few and the theories many . Perhaps it was a statement about the eternal nature of his soul ? Or a future reincarnation ? One interesting point is that the calendar round 5 Lamat 1 Mol is also the date of Pakal ' s accession in 612 AD , and the 5 Lamat 1 Mol arrived at in the passage is exactly 80 calendar rounds ( 52 year cycles ) later . Since Pakal was 80 tuns when he died , perhaps this So if we have clear evidence that the bak ' tun cycle , like all other long count positions save the winals , runs in cycles of 20 , then why do so many people believe that it will reset at the arrival of the 13th bak ' tun in 2012 AD ? The answer lies in the western mathematical assumption that if the long count began at 13 bak ' tuns then it must end on 13 bak ' tuns . When a person from western culture envisions a cycle , they immediately conjure the image of a clock There are inscriptions at Palenque , Copan , and Quirigua that specifically date events occurring before the current era . All of them state that they occurred within the 12th bak ' tun and lead up to 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 4 Ahau 8 Kumku . At Palenque , the texts of the Cross Group state that on December 9 , 3121 BC a woman named Muwan Mat was born . Then 754 years after the era began on August 11 , 3114 BC she gave birth to GI of the Palenque Triad on October 12 . 19 . 13 . 4 . 0 8 Ahau 18 Sek December 9 , 3120 BC Birth of Muwan Mat 4 Ahau 8 Kumku August 11 , 3114 BC Creation Date 1 . 18 . 5 . 3 . 7 13 Kimi 19 Keh October 23 , 2360 BC Birth of GI These dates are given as full long counts , not abbreviated within distance numbers or implied by calendar rounds . While the evidence is compelling , these few texts from Palenque are almost single handedly responsible for convincing western scholars that the long count will once again reset in 2012 AD . In point of fact , though we have many instances of the Maya recording 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 for August 11 , 3114 BC , there is only one text known to record the 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 date for December 21 , 2012 AD . It was found on Monument 6 from Tortuguero and the text is broken right after the date is mentioned , occulting the event that was to have been referenced . For the ancient Maya , the 13th bak ' tun ended at the beginning of the world ' s fourth creation , or era . The Popol Vuh describes the three previous creations and the fates of their inhabitants , but does not provide dates . The Aztecs had a very similar concept and explained it to the Spanish in some detail . To the Aztecs , they were living in the 5th world era , not the 4th . Mark Van Stone ( personal communication 2008 ) hypothesizes that the Aztecs may have counted the collapse of Classic Maya The Aztecs provided time lengths for each of the previous eras and , very importantly , they were not the same . Here are the four Aztec eras before the current : The first era 13 cycles of 52 years for a total of 676 years The second era 7 cycles of 52 years for a total of 364 years The third era 6 cycles of 52 years for a total of 312 years The fourth era 13 cycles of 52 years for a total of 676 years The Aztec Calendar Stone ( National Antropology Museum , Mexico DF ) If one lumps the 2nd and 3rd era time lengths together , they get another set of 13 x 52 years , just like the 1st and 4th eras . Like the Maya , the Aztec seem to have related the concept of 13 cycles with the completion of an era or world creation . The current era was not given a time length , but was predicted by the Aztecs to be ultimately destroyed by earthquakes . Given the difference in past cycle lengths , one could not safely assume that the current Aztec era will be 13 x Part of the solution may be in distinguishing the conceptual difference between a " cycle " and an " era " . There are definitely solid cycles throughout the Maya calendar , its interlocking nature depends on them . The kin , the tun , the winal and the k ' atun are all static cycles of time . The western calendar has the same kind of cyclical increments - a day , a year , a century , a millennium , etc . However , an " era " in western thinking is rarely an exact increment of a There is reason to believe that the number 13 was used as a symbolic way to say " completion . " There are texts at Yaxchilan , Coba , and the Dresden Codex that present long count dates in which many cycles above the bak ' tun repeat the number 13 as their coefficients . The example at Yaxchilan , on a panel in front of Temple 33 , places ten 13 ' s above a contemporary date : 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 13 . 9 . 15 . 13 . 6 . 9 Oct 19 , 744 AD Coba Stela 1 ( drawing after Elizabeth Wagner ) The example at Coba , on Stela 1 , places at least twenty 13 ' s above the creation date , 13 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 August 11 , 3314 BC . If we attempted to actually count all those 13 ' s as actual coefficients , each going up by a magnitude of 20 , the date we would get would go 41,943,040,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years into the past ! Dresden Codex page 52 also records a date with 13 consecutive 13 ' s . Since none of these 13 ' s effect the lower cycles , So , if the idea that the 13th Bak ' tun is the end of the current era is in question , then what should we think of it ' s arrival in 2012 AD ? Though Maya texts say nothing about what might happen at the 13th Bak ' tun , we do know that the end of each bak ' tun was considered a time of great change . Reviewing ancient Maya history provides a general coroboration of that notion . The following events around the turn of the last five bak ' tuns are not suggested as spot on dates when major changes occurred , but consider the overall pattern . The beginning of the 8th bak ' tun ( 41 AD ) The last of the Olmec cities , some surviving for almost 1000 years , were abandoned and never reinhabited . The beginning of the 9th bak ' tun ( 435 AD ) Teotihuacan ' s influence began in the Maya world , resulting new cities , a flurry of new dynasties , and warfare . The beginning of the 10th bak ' tun ( 830 AD ) The end of the Classic period and the still unexplained abandonment of 100 ' s of cities . The beginning of the 11th bak ' tun ( 1224 AD ) The abandonment of Chichen Itza in Yucatan and the rise of Mayapan . The beginning of the 12th bak ' tun ( 1618 AD ) The last great Maya empire , the Itza of Lake Peten , sent emissaries to the Spanish announcing they are ready to embrace the change the turn of cycles will bring . It was this last bak ' tun , when the Spanish conquered Lake Peten and captured king Kan Ek , that provides special insight into the Maya beliefs about the turn of a bak ' tun . In the year 1617 , Kan Ek sent emissaries to Merida to inform the Spanish that the 12th bak ' tun was near and that they were prepared for the change it would bring . The Spanish interpreted this as a willingness to be converted to Christianity and a race between various missionary groups began for the credit of being to the first In conclusion , while it is uncertain that 2012 AD will mark the reset of the long count cycle , it is most certainly the beginning of the 13th bak ' tun . The ancient Maya would have considered it a time of great change . If every bak ' tun was a time of great change , then the 13th turn must have held special significance , perhaps the beginning of a new era in world history . Time will tell . The Mayan calendar will continue to be a source of much fascination , spurring people to write books and films about the heraldic date in 2012 . Although current computers or o2 mobile phones have Christian calendars , the Mayan culture will remain with us even after it may or may not be proven to be obsolete . We hope you enjoyed this article , and of course , if you have any thoughts or comments on or about the information discussed , please do not hesitate to get in touch .

Chiari I signs and symptoms Chiari symptoms are caused by disruption of CSF flow and compression of the brainstem and spinal cord . Chiari I symptoms in infants / children : Trouble feeding and swallowing Excessive drooling Noisy breathing ( strider ) , especially with crying Apnea ( stop breathing spells ) Irritability , head banging and nighttime awakening ( signs of headache ) Stiff neck Poor arm strength ( trouble crawling ) Chiari I symptoms vary from person to person and are not necessarily related to the size of tonsillar herniation . Some people with large herniations have no symptoms ( asymptomatic ) . Yet others with small herniations have severe symptoms . When symptoms are present , they are often vague or nonspecific . As a result , the diagnosis of Chiari is often delayed until more severe symptoms occur or after current symptoms persist for some time . Symptoms are caused by disruption of the CSF flow and compression of nervous tissues . Because the brainstem is responsible for most body functions , Chiari causes all kinds of strange symptoms . People may experience symptoms that range from headache to irritable bowel . The five most common symptoms are : 1 . posterior headache on exertion with neck pain ( 70 % ) 2 . hoarseness or swallowing problems 3 . sleep apnea 4 . weakness or numbness in an extremity 5 . balance problems People with Chiari I often develop symptoms during their teen or early adult years . The disorder is also seen in young children and older adults . In some cases , a head or neck injury from a car accident or sports injury triggers the onset of symptoms . Some patients have had Chiari triggered by a spinal tap or epidural anesthesia . Listed below are Chiari symptoms grouped by the body area affected : Headache • Pressure - like headaches that start at the back of the skull and may radiate behind the eyes . • Headaches that worsen with physical strain , coughing , sneezing , or bending forward ( Chiari headaches are often mistaken for migraines ) Pain / spine problems • Neck pain , pain across shoulder blades • Chest pain • General body pain • Curvature of the spine ( scoliosis ) may be present with syringomyelia • Joint hypermobility ( Ehler - Danlos syndrome ) • Tethered cord Balance / ear problems • Ringing or buzzing in the ear ( tinnitus ) • Dizziness , spinning ( vertigo ) • Imbalance , clumsiness • Trouble walking ( gait ) • Hearing loss Eye problems • Blurred or double vision • Sensitivity to bright light • Spots or floaters in your vision • Jerking eye movements ( nystagmus ) • Difficulty tracking or following objects with your eyes Sleep problems • Snoring • Sleep apnea • Fatigue • Inability to fall or stay asleep ( insomnia ) Face and throat problems • Difficulty swallowing , choking and gagging • Facial pain , numbness or tingling • Hoarseness , change in voice • Chronic cough Problems in arms and legs ( spinal cord signs • Numbness or tingling in arms / hands / legs • Weakness in arms / hands / legs • Poor hand coordination • Loss of feeling in arms / hands • General body weakness Thinking ( cognitive ) problems • Trouble speaking , word finding • Trouble thinking • Problems with memory and concentration • Depression or mood changes • Nervousness or anxiety Other problems • Nausea and vomiting • Abdominal pain • Frequent urination • Irregular heart beat , palpitations • Passing out episodes , syncope Chiari is often misdiagnosed because of the variety of bony and soft tissue abnormalities that compress the spinal cord , brainstem , cranial nerves , or blood vessels , resulting in a wide array of possible symptoms . In fact , the diagnosis is often delayed until symptoms become severe or persistent . However , accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan are important to prevent further injury to the person ’ s nervous system . updated : 11.2018 reviewed by : Andrew Ringer , MD , Robert Bohinski , MD , PhD Mayfield Brain & Spine , Cincinnati , Ohio

Holiday Central > Rosh Hashanah > Celebration of the Holiday Rosh Hashanah Celebration By : Rivka C . Berman , Contributor Click Here for More Holiday Articles CHILDREN ' S BOOK for AGES 5 - 11 Fun at Grandma Sadie ' s A Story for Rosh Hashanah What Does Rosh Hashanah Celebrate ? First a Little Background Rosh Hashanah is only one of the many new years listed in the Talmud . There are new years for vegetables , for counting the reign of kings , for trees . Rosh Hashanah is the date that marks , at least according to sages quoted in the Talmud , the birthday of the world when Adam and Eve were created ( T.B. Rosh Hashanah 27a ) . The world ’ s birthday informs the celebration of Rosh Hashanah by linking world renewal to personal renewal . The day Adam and Eve were created was the first moment God could be considered a Sovereign . Until then there were no subjects under royal dominion . Traditional Rosh Hashanah liturgy is full of references to God ’ s coronation , God as Ruler . One reason for this is only if God is the Ruler of all is it worthwhile to direct prayers for life and a sweet year to God . It ’ s helpful that the Talmudic sages explained Rosh Hashanah because a cold reading of the Torah verses that command the celebration of this holiday give little indication of its purpose . “ And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying , Speak to the Children of Israel , saying : In the seventh month , on the first day of the month you will have a Sabbath , a memorial of the horns , a holy gathering ” ( Leviticus 23 : 23 - 24 ) . Rosh Hashanah gets a second mention in Numbers . “ And in the seventh month , on the first day of the month , you shall have a holy gathering and you will do no work . It will be a day of blowing the horn for you … . ” ( Numbers 29 : 1 ) The Torah counts the months from Nissan , the beginning of the festival calendar that starts with Passover . Rosh Hashanah , in Tishrei , begins the annual calendar is the seventh month from Nissan . Cryptic Torah verses are nothing new . Many have likened the Torah ’ s words to notes taken during a lecture , brief and unclear to those who are n ’ t immersed in study . Pslamists encoded their understanding of Rosh Hashanah in Psalm 81 . “ Blow the horn on the new moon , on the full moon of our feast day . For it is a law for Israel , [ a day of ] judgement of the God of Jacob . ” In later generations the sages quoted in the Mishna , a collection of sayings and elaboration on Torah laws , envisioned Rosh Hashanah as a time when “ all those who come into the world pass before God like legions of soldiers . ” ( Mishna Rosh Hashanah 1 ) Some suggest Rosh Hashanah grew into its meaning as a day of judgement because of its closeness to Yom Kippur , the Day of Atonement . God as Sovereign and Judge The ancients gazed at the starry , starry Tishrei nights and saw scales , Moznaim . The zodiac constellation fit in with the understanding that Rosh Hashanah was the day of Judgement . Even those who feel more comfortable reading Rosh Hashanah as an unexplained biblical holiday that got its character from its nearest calendar neighbor , Yom Kippur , have their interest piqued by a comforting biblical coincidence . If , as Rabbi Eliezer argues in the Talmud , Rosh Hashanah is the day humans were created , then this is also the day that Adam and Even sinned and gained forgiveness . Holding a Day of Judgment on this anniversary of eating the forbidden fruit brings solace . If Adam and Eve were forgiven , we can be forgiven too . Disquieting as the thought of God sitting in judgment may be , the notion brings hope . God , Sovereign of all , cares about what we do . You matter . You are more than a highly evolved lucky possessor of useful chromosomes and opposing thumbs . Watching the symbolic scales of good and evil tip and sway , praying for a clean of enough slate to be jotted down , in pen , in the Book of Life is a yearly trauma much like a measles shot . It ’ s scary but it ’ s good for you . An annual check up at Rosh Hashanah , keeps soul shmootz from settling . Any necessary Divine corrective are spread out over the year and not administered in one huge , lump sum wallop . ( Even if it feels that way . ) Mazor Guide to Rosh Hashanah brings you much more about the holiday , its meaning and its traditions . . . See the links below .

« You are admitted ! What ' s next ? | Main | Los Angeles : The Good , The Bad , and the Ridiculously Good Looking » July 30 , 2013 Choosing a laptop : MBA style I ’ ll admit , I ’ m not the most technologically savvy . Sure , I can manage my way around InDesign and crank out a video in Final Cut Pro , but most of the time I use my laptop to watch the latest Community and catchup on celebrity gossip . That ’ s why I was thrilled when I saw Anderson ’ s laptop requirements . Perfect , I thought ! Let me print it out and drive to the closest Apple store ( have I mentioned I ’ m a Mac girl ? ) . But wait , what ’ s that ? Office for Mac is not supported ? I need to install Windows on my Mac ? Waaah ? Perhaps I should consider a PC ? I guess off to Best Buy I go … Thirty minutes later , I ’ m in the middle of Best Buy with Mike , a sales associate and self - professed geek , the store manager and the floor rep . “ She needs 250 + GB SSD ? Why is she a film student ? ” “ The only computers we have that fit those requirements would be the Mac with Retina Display . But wait , oh . Then maybe a PC ? ” “ This makes no sense . ” Oi . If these three are having so much trouble I guess this might not The breakdown : If you ’ re looking for an investment piece , consider going with Anderson ’ s Recommended specs as they will guarantee you a top of the line computer . If , like me , you are thinking of getting a computer just for your time at Anderson ( and buying a new one right before graduation to maximize on that student discount ) , consider a mix of both Recommended and Minimum requirements . The Macs : Finding a laptop with 8 + GB of RAM and a 250 + GB SSD hard drive will essentially limit you to Apple ’ s Mac Book Pro with Retina Display . ( The MacBook Air unfortunately only has 4GB RAM which might be a bit small to run Parallels . ) All sizes of the Retina Display boast Apple ’ s flash storage , aka SSD , which guarantees a much faster response ( trust me , I saw them in action ) . Choosing this model takes care of just about every item on Anderson ’ s Recommended The cons : While I looooove Macs ( durable , user friendly , beautiful designs , and Mac support ! ) , you might seriously consider that Anderson ’ s educational softwares run only on Windows environments . Getting a Mac therefore means that you would need to install either Bootcamp or Parallels in order to run Windows on your Mac . While Parallels has received great reviews , and I ’ ve been guaranteed that the transition between Windows and Mac OSX is rather seamless ( no need to reboot , easily drag documents between the two ) , I ca n ’ t help but wonder how this would affect your actual laptop . I ’ ve heard of many silly little glitches such as specific keyboard functions not working properly while The other thing to consider is price . Macs are n ’ t exactly cheap ( full price breakdown below ) and consider that you will need to purchase either Bootcamp or Parallels ( about $ 79 each ) , Windows for Macs ( can be purchased at a Microsoft store ) which starts at $ 119 ( if you have a previous version of Windows on your Mac , you can purchase the Windows 8 upgrade for $ 69.99 with your student discount ) , and , finally , Microsoft Office 2013 ( Home and Student $ 139.99 ) Lastly , by going Mac you would not be able to enjoy Windows 8 ’ s touchscreen appeal . The Pros : It ’ s a Mac . Total cost : MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13in , 2.6GHz : $ 1699.00 Student discount : $ 100 plus $ 100 gift card to Apple Store BootCamp + Windows 8 + Office : $ 337.99 Total : $ 1,936.99 And this not counting any protection plan ! If you decide to purchase a Mac , here is more info about running Windows : Parallels BootCamp PCs : Although I am sure some people are able to find their dream computer , it was impossible to find a PC that met all of Anderson ’ s Recommended specs at Best Buy . You can customize a Dell to meet the requirements but expect to shell out a minimum of $ 1549.99 . If you decide to go the PC route , I suggest eliminating the 250GB SSD requirements . From my understanding , unless you are a crazy gamer or planning on making films , you do not need this . You might also decide that you do CNet The Cons : It ’ s not a Mac . The Pros : Price , price , price ! By going the PC route , you save dollars and hassle by skipping the Windows 8 installation . Forget about Parallels , your computer comes with Windows ! As a student , you will also probably be able to get a free version of Microsoft Office with the purchase of your laptop . This will most likely be Office University and is only valid for 4 years . Also , note that any deal that will include Office will be for the 64 bit version , and not the required 32 bit . About half of the new laptops are now touchscreen so you can play around with Windows 8 ! Price : On average , you can expect to find a PC + Office for about $ 1,000.00 The decision : As you may have guessed , I opted for a PC . While I already miss my Mac and am so confused by Windows 8 , it simply made more sense for me to get a laptop which includes Windows and came with a free Office 2013 pack . So yesterday I purchased my first PC , a touchscreen Sony Vaio 14in Fit , 8GB RAM , 750GB hard drive + 8GB SSD . Including insurance and the virus protection , it came out to $ 1100 . The verdict : Ready for school to begin ! Posted by Lorraine Jonemann on July 30 , 2013 at 05 : 01 PM in Lorraine Jonemann Tech Permalink Reblog ( 0 ) Comments ABC said . . . Many Anderson students have Macbook Airs and are happy with them Reply July 30 , 2013 at 05 : 19 PM Sophia Fong said . . . This is a useful article for the non tech - savy ! " If you decide to go the PC route , I suggest eliminating the 250GB SSD requirements . From my understanding , unless you are a crazy gamer or planning on making films , you do not need this . " I am a bit of a crazy gamer so I would love to elaborate on this . You are correct that one of the only ways to get this is to have a customized laptop . The reason it ' s so expensive is because Solid State drives are a recent addition to laptops . I bought my first SSD about 5 years ago and I doubt I would ever go back to a normal hard drive in a laptop . Talking about size first : 250Gb is somewhat small for a hard drive in general . Most desktops have about 1 - 2 TB now ( 1000 GB ) . I think most laptops are around 500GB . 250Gb is just fine for everyday use but you ' ll want more if you use large software like the full Adobe suite or you ' re a gamer ( World of Warcraft takes 25GB alone ! ) Why an SSD ? ? ? : Large hard drives are cheap ! The expense here comes from the Solid State Drive : There are two types of hard drives . One type has moving parts - so if you drop it , it ' s most likely dead . The second type , Solid State drive , has no moving parts and is a lot more durable ( although I still would n ' t recommend dropping your laptop . ) My hard drive has never died and I ' ve dropped my laptop well over a dozen times . Solid State Drives cost more , so a 500GB hard drive might cost you $ 100 while a 500GB SSD might cost If you are klutzy like me I HIGHLY recommend an SSD ! ! However , if you plan to be incredibly careful with your laptop and know you ' ll be using a lot of high end software / games , I would recommend a larger hard drive that is n ' t SSD . If you have extra money , get a large SSD . If you ’ re down to your last penny , Lorraine is right , you can do without . BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP YOUR LAPTOP ! Reply August 05 , 2013 at 04 : 43 PM Sophia Fong said in reply to . . . Whoops . I also forgot to add that an SSD is usually 4 - 5 times faster . For small things , this is n ' t really noticeable but it ' s noticeable when opening or saving from a large program . August 06 , 2013 at 12 : 26 AM said . . . Sorry for the geek wall ! Hope this is helpful to someone : ) August 05 , 2013 at 04 : 57 PM Ayushman said . . . I do n ' t understand the Anderson recommendations at all . a 250GB SSD is really NOT required and thats the component that adds all the cost . My lenovo E series laptop cost me just $ 500 , runs perfectly with all Anderson software and is lightweight . Unless you have truck loads of money lying around , do n ' t spend so much on the laptop . Even if you do , buy a cheaper laptop and a tablet instead . Stick to the " minimum " requirements . Like seriously - unless you ' re a hard core gamer . August 14 , 2013 at 01 : 58 PM Matt Krueger Current student here - I bought a $ 1000 Dell package last year and regret my choice . If I could choose over again I would have gone with Mac . The MacBook Air 13 " seems pretty popular around here and seems to work fine despite its specs , and its battery life ca n ' t be beat . This blog post said nothing about weight , screen resolution , or battery life , which are the features you should care most about . For typing papers , responding to essay prompts on exams , and building excel models screen resolution makes a world of difference . Size and weight matter too . Lugging a heavy laptop around along with a textbook is n ' t convenient . Neither is waiting for your laptop to boot because you did n ' t get a SSD hard drive . For AMR / GAP , international trips , or any other time you are on a plane it ' s nice to have a laptop with a long battery life so you can use it the entire flight . Think about all the time you will be using your laptop for school ( probably every day for the next 2 years , 3 years for FEMBAs ) . Spending an extra $ 800 - $ 900 for a computer that has a long battery life , a high resolution screen , and weighs less is well worth the extra money in my humble opinion . August 14 , 2013 at 02 : 28 PM Matt Camp said . . . I ' m a 2012 Alum and used a Macbook pro with parallels . I had little to no issues with using Parallel and bought inexpensive RAM on Amazon to boost performance . I found that my Mac had a much better battery life than most people with Windows laptops and I had a much faster boot - up time from sleep mode . If I was to get a new laptop for school today I ' d definitely spring for a Macbook Air and max out the RAM . August 14 , 2013 at 04 : 59 PM Lynn said . . . Hi everyone , Do n ' t forget - there ' s an amazing computer store in Ackerman and proceeds benefit ASUCLA . Keep it on campus ! They have bundles for back to school that include office and extended warranty . The durability of a Mac ca n ' t be beat and they have outstanding resale value . The store also provides service and user training . Best of luck ! !

I do n ' t agree with that . If you want the fastest possible internet connection ethernet will often be faster and more reliable than Wi - Fi . April 26 , 2015 at 01 : 47 AM Hitesh Unavane Exporting content on a SSD does n ' t makes sense , it not economically wise as a single project can go into gigabytes . So it is wise to SSD to store only the program and OS and use HDD for storing the project . September 24 , 2016 at 10 : 30 PM James Thank you for the great information .

You are here : Home MBA Job Interviews / How Do I Answer : What Is Your Salary Requirement ? How Do I Answer : What Is Your Salary Requirement ? October 7 , 2011 By Dorothy Tannahill - Moran What is your salary requirement ? You do not want to discuss salary early in the contact with the recruiter or hiring manager . If you bring it up , it will look like that is your only concern or priority . If they bring it up too soon , you do n ’ t know enough about the work or situation to allow it to be a screening element . Companies should ascertain your fit and then form a salary discussion on how much experience and depth you bring to the job – only after an interview Answer : When it is brought up , you can avoid it by saying something like “ based on my research , I believe my salary requirements fit within your range ” or “ My salary requirements are generally my last area of consideration . The position sounds great and I ’ m convinced I ’ m qualified ” “ I ’ m willing to start lower than where I ’ ve been if the potential for upward growth is there . I usually prove my value fairly quickly ” Answer : If they press you and you have no choice but discuss it , give a range . The range can be at the low end slightly higher than your lowest possible salary and about $ 10k - $ 20k higher than your target salary ( depending on how high it is to begin with ) . If you give a salary range , ask them if that range fits with their expectations . “ A salary I would be anticipating for this type of position would be between $ 55k - $ 70k .

Metal Building Terminology Choose a letter : A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A . Accessory : An extra building component added to a building such as doors , windows , ridge vents , louver vents , insulation , gutter and downspouts , canopies , skylights , cupolas etc . Accessories can be purchased with the building or at a later date . Aluminized : Aluminum coated steel . Anchor Bolts : Anchor Bolts are typically set in concrete and used to anchor structural members to the foundation . Anchor bolts can also be drilled and set with epoxy if need be . These bolts are not supplied by MBMI but the concrete contractor will usually provide them . Approval Drawing : A product drawing sent to the customer to verify design and dimensions and to verify the sales contract description of materials and services the manufacturer has agreed to furnish . Astragal : A closure between the two leaves of a double swing or a double slide door used to close the joint . Auxiliary Loads : All specified dynamic live loads other than the basic design loads which the building must safely withstand - such as cranes , material handling systems and impact loads . B . Base Angle : A continuous angle secured to foundation to support wall panels . MBMI supplies a 4x3 angle which is about twice the size most of our competitors supply . Base Plate : A shop - welded , pre - punched plate on that portion of a beam or column which rests on the supporting surface .

Made from 26ga steel and available in over 20 colors . Gutters are an accessory and are not mandatory to have installed on you steel building . H . Hair - Pin : Reinforcing bar used to help transfer anchor bolt shear ( due to column thrust ) to concrete floor mass . The " U " shaped hair - pin wraps around the anchor bolts inside the slab . Haunch : Also known as Knee . The deepened portion of a column or rafter , designed to accommodate the high stress where column and rafter intersect and connect . The rigid frame column and rafter come together to form the haunch . The haunch will be the lowest point in the roof of a building . Header : A horizontal member over a wall opening . Header Trim : Trim used above a wall opening . High Strength Bolts : Any bolt made from steel having a tensile strength in excess of 100,000 pounds per square inch ( p.s.i. ) .

Hip Roof : Hip roofs are created when two roof slopes coming from two different directions intersect . The opposite of a hip would be a valley . When two gable roof sections come together at an angle a hip and valley section are created . Hot - rolled Shapes : Steel sections ( angles , channels , I - beams , etc . ) which are formed by rolling mills while the steel is in a semi - molten state . I . Impact : Shock loads caused by dynamic application . Inner Liner : Liner paneling on the inside of walls . Inside Corner Trim : Trim which flashes inside corners .

Jack Truss : Truss used to support another beam , truss or rafter to eliminate a column support . Jamb : A side column of a doorway or opening . Jib Crane : A cantilevered boom or horizontal beam with hoist and trolley . This lifting machine may pick up loads in all or part of a circle around the column to which it is attached . Joist : Joists are supporting open web beams used in the roof or the floor of a mezzanine . Joists are cost effective at carries large loads or spanning large distances . K . KIP : Kilo - pound ( 1000 # ) Knee ( or Haunch ) : Also known as Haunch . The deepened portion of a column or rafter , designed to accommodate the high stress where column and rafter intersect and connect . The rigid frame column and rafter come together to form the knee . The knee will be the lowest point in the roof of a building . L . Lean - To : A lean to structure has only one slope or pitch and is supported by a column on one side and another structure on the other . Lean to buildings can be attached to standard steel building or any solid structure with the ability to carry the additional load . Liner Panel : Liner panels are perfect for finishing off the inside of your building . Liner panels are available in 29ga , 26ga , and even 24ga , depending on the application . Our most popular liner panel profile are the Super Span , Low Rib and Accent 11 .

The base metal is galvalume , which is a zinc - aluminum coating that provides excellent corrosion resistance Lip : A flange stiffener . Live Load : Any moving or variable load which the structure must support ; roof live load is usually snow load . Louver vent : Louver vents provide very economical ventilation for steel buildings . These vents are mounted to the walls of your building and can be combined with ridge vents or turbo vents . Wall louvers will act as intake vents while the roof vents will act like exhaust vents . Vents can be purchased with fixed or adjustable louvers depending on your application .

Sturmey Archer S2C Review Posted by Dave on March 31 , 2012 | 36 Comments £ 70 two - speed hub with coaster brake Fatally flawed , great if it works The Sturmey Archer S2C is a hub full of golden promise within its very specialised niche – without any cables at all , you get a low / high gear and a brake , with good efficiency and reasonable weight . If it was n ’ t sold off the shelf with a serious mechanical fault requiring the end - user to rebuild it with a new part shipped out by Sturmey Archer ( yes really ) , and did n ’ t fatally explode after a few hundred miles , it would indeed be great – but more on that later . Update : my hub exploded , locking up in the frame while I was riding . Scroll to the bottom for conclusions . Unlike with a 5 + speed , with the Sturmey Archer S2C you need to think in terms of building a ‘ sensible singlespeed ’ rather than a hub geared alternative to a derailleur bike . It flips between 1x and 1.4x ( say , 50 ″ and 70 ″ , or 60 ″ and 84 ″ ) . Previously I had a fixed - wheel running about 65 ″ , so in other words , it ’ s geared to ride quite a lot faster ( and climb a lot better ) than my old fixed , but the range is miles off what you ’ d get even with a single ring and 11 - 32 ( which could do 30 - 106 ″ ) . First , the good Compared with other hub gears I ’ ve used ( the Sturmey Archer 5 and 8 speeds and the Alfine 8 ) , the S2C is extremely efficient . The low gear is direct ( the sprocket is locked to the hub shell , effectively the same as a track hub ) , while the high gear goes through a single ‘ step - up ’ planetary assembly . I ca n ’ t identify any friction in high gear ; that does n ’ t mean it is n ’ t there ( in fact I ’ m certain that obsessives could measure it without particularly high - tech lab equipment ) … just that I ca n ’ t distinguish it riding through the real world . With the coaster providing invisible braking , the Sturmey Archer S2C does build up into a very clean rear end – it needs a reaction arm secured somewhere to the frame , but I was pleased to discover that the slot disc mount on my Pompetamix is perfect for a clean attachment as you can see in the image above . Very stealthy ! The only other way to get something like this is to ride fixed with your back brake removed . The brake is smooth and strong and easily modulated , although it ’ s worth noting that you can ‘ bite ’ extremely hard if you put the pedals back hard . I almost came a cropper when I absent - mindedly tried to rotate the pedals backwards to 3 and 9 o ’ clock while standing up to jump over a kerb . The bike suddenly and dramatically slowed down under me as I came out of the saddle , I slowed down and mis - timed my kerb lift … but luckily the sensible tyres came through for me ! 116mm OLN means you ’ ve got to be bold … or get a new frame Unlike most hub gears , which either come in ‘ normal ’ ( ~ 132.5mm ) or at least normal and track widths , the Sturmey Archer S2C is only available in the eyewateringly - small 116mm OLN . The axle is not long enough to space it out for even a 130mm aluminium frame , sorry . If you have a steel frame however , which can basically just be bent ( cold set ) as you please , it is possible just to fit the S2C by springing in the stays ( indeed my 135mm Pompetamix has not been cold set , I just stuck the S2C in there and did it up , and it ’ s not exploded so far ) . Placing the locknuts inside the dropouts adds another few mm on each side to ease the situation . Caveat experimentor ! The above is a stock 135mm - spaced Pompetamix rear end on a stock S2C axle . The plate to the right is the hitch for my awesome Carry Freedom Y - Frame trailer . Probably no good in winter The bearings on the Sturmey Archer S2C are not only unsealed , but practically begging to be contaminated . There ’ s not even any kind of contact seal at all – the balls are basically peeping out of the side of the hub shell and are lightly covered by a metal ring , which I ’ m sure does n ’ t keep out rain of any strength . You can see these in the photo above ( the non - anodised light sections to the outside of the hub flanges ) . I ’ m prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt for now – and it can be easily maintained in truth – but it ’ s a far cry from the S5C , which I ran for a whole winter with nary a whiff of trouble . Broken off the shelf , requires user disassembly The original wheel I assembled for my utility bike was a Sturmey Archer S5C – a five speed hub with coaster brake . How that went wrong is a story for another day , but I ended up buying an S2C in my quest for robust simplicity . However – no sooner had I assembled the wheel than I realised it was unrideable in the the lower gear ( direct drive ) – even going downhill without pressure on the pedals , the slightest rotation of the cranks caused horrendous crunching and pinging . Another failed hub ! To cut a long story short , I chased this back to Sturmey Archer – who essentially admitted that the S2C was produced with a piece missing – but never mind , I could have the piece mailed out and fit it myself in the mysterious guts of the device ! As the hub is relatively cheap and simple , and I ’ m not afraid to break things , I decided to go for it and managed to effect the repair myself – disassembling the hub completely , breaking apart the drivetrain pieces and fitting a thick flanged spacer to support the suspect part . Here you can see the hub inner . From top to bottom : the brake shoes , the direct - drive ratchet pawls , the planetary with high gear pawls ( these change in and out to toggle the selected gear ratio ) . It was amazingly messy and to make a successful job of it you will need C - clip pliers and cone spanners of the correct ( nonstandard ) sizes to tighten everything up . You ’ re trying to get the piece in between the two subsections that have pawls on the picture above … the long - term implications for the life of the hub have yet to be seen , naturally , and who knows whether anyone will warranty it now I ’ ve had to perform a triple heart bypass ! S2C repair detail Since I found it extremely difficult to work out what was wrong with my hub until I heard back directly , I ’ ve uploaded the two documents provided by Sturmey Archer in the hopes that they will be useful to others : It ’ s evidently taken almost a year for pre - fix hubs to still be working their way through the supply chain , so that ’ s okay then … Despite repair , exploded and locked up in the frame A short time after effecting the above ‘ repair ’ to the S2C , I was riding along on the flat sea front when the wheel suddenly locked within the frame . Luckily I was just pootling at 20mph or so and not out of the saddle , so I managed to control the skid . One of the pawls within the hub had cracked in half , found its way across to the brake ( or possibly just jammed some other part of the shell ) and bang ! Needless to say , this killed the hub stone dead after just a few hundred miles . An extremely poor performance and as a result , I ca n ’ t honestly recommend the S2C hub at all . I ’ ve bought a SRAM Automatix – see my in - depth review of that instead ! 36 Comments | Tags : Drivetrain Review Utility

You are here : Home running Want to run the Marine Corps Marathon ? Here ’ s how … Want to run the Marine Corps Marathon ? Here ’ s how … February 17 , 2016 by MCM Mama 10 Comments Known as the People ’ s Marathon , the Marine Corps Marathon does not take place until late October , 30 October in 2016 . But despite that , it ’ s time to start thinking about running this iconic race . I firmly believe it ’ s one of the best marathons out there , especially for first time marathoners . Every year I struggle with the decision to make this my fall A race or not . Do n ’ t believe me ? Here are the five reasons I think you should run it Got you convinced ? OK , now you need to get in and Option 1 for entering the Marine Corps Marathon is taking happening today at noon ! Option 1 Register for ( and finish ) the 17.75K race . Registration takes place at noon today and the lucky entrants will be allowed to run the race on April 2 . Registration will sell out in minutes . Finish this race and you are handed a code that guarantees you entry into the race . Ca n ’ t make that date or your fingers were n ’ t fast enough to register for this race ? Updated for 2017 : Registration is February 17 at 11am ; Race is March 25th at 7am . Option 2 Enter the lottery for the Marine Corps Marathon . This year it takes place from March 24 - 30 . Enter your name and you will find out on March 31 whether you got in or not . Updated for 2017 : Lottery is March 22 - 29 , with winners announced on March 30 . Still not lucky ? Do n ’ t worry – there are still options . Option 3 Run for a charity . There are plenty of charities that have entries into this race . Usually you pay the cost of the race entry and then have a minimum you must raise for the charity . The causes vary greatly in what you get for fundraising and what you are required to do , but they are all worthy and there is something for every one . Option 4 : Get a transferred bib . Marine Corps Marathon has , in my opinion , one of the best transfer policies of any marathon out there . Running from June until usually early August , this program allows a runner who ca n ’ t run to transfer their entry to the race for a $ 50 transfer fee . ( Actual cost of the entry is between the two runners and can vary from free to the original cost to price gouging . Depends on the circumstances and the runners involved . ) Option 5 : Buy your way in . Feeling flush ? There are two options you can choose . 1 ) The Runners World VIP program – this program costs $ 439 and includes an entry into the race + special access to Runner ’ s World experts and a weekend of events including shakeout run with Bart Yasso and the RW Editors ; access to VIP areas pre and post - race ; choice of nine marathon training plans designing specifically for the MCM ; access to one year of online coaching from RW experts ; motivational weekly emails from RW ; a free technical T - shirt and RW book . Entry is limited and opens on 2 ) Go big and buy the VIP experience – For $ 1500 , you get a guaranteed entry to the marathon , a second entry to the marathon or the 10k , two nights at the Gaylord Hotel , VIP access at packet pickup and before and after the race . It also includes shuttles and private porta potties , so it just might be worth the $ $ $ $ . Maybe . It may seem like a lot of work to get into the Marine Corps Marathon , but it ’ s an awesome race . I ’ d honestly run it every year if it did n ’ t require training through Virginia summers . In fact , I ’ ll be one of many trying to get into the 17.75 race today and I ’ m not promising that I wo n ’ t use the guaranteed entry for myself . I am feeling a bit of a need for redemption after last year ’ s slow slow race . ( Ssh , do n ’ t tell Beer Geek ! ) The one thing that I can assure all of you MCM wannabes – if you really want to run the race , despite it seeming difficult , nearly everyone I know who wanted to run , eventually got in . Good Luck ! Linking up with Marathons and Motivation and Ilka Filed Under : running Tagged With : Marine Corps Marathon MCM Washington DC This site uses Akismet to reduce spam .

Minecraft PE Addons Minecraft PE Mods Addons Baby Ender Dragons Addon by Editor August 26 2018 This addon implements a new dragon to the Overworld An Ender Dragon would be way too overkill but the baby of an Ender Dragon is certainly more fair The spawn rate is quite low as it will only spawn in caves but other than that their spawn pattern is quite hard to predict which makes it a fun and dangerous challenge Creator Minecrafter_001 YouTube Channel How does it work Baby Ender Dragons replace Bats and as a result that means you can find them spawning mostly in caves There are two different versions of the same dragon The Stage 1 version is neutral toward players and the Stage 2 version is hostile and has more health than the first one Stage 1 Health 100 Neutral to players Shoots Dragon Fireballs Smaller than Stage 2 Baby Dragon Drops 24 Ender Pearls and 02 Diamonds Stage 2 Health 120 Hostile to players Villagers and Endermites Shoots Dragon Fireballs Bigger than Stage 1 Baby Dragon Drops 24 Ender Pearls and 02 Diamonds The main attack of the dragon is to shoot Ender Fireballs If youre hit by one you will immediately lose some health and if one hits the ground then it will linger for some seconds and cause damage to all mobs within a close proximity Stage 2 dragons are hostile towards players Villagers and Endermites Features Baby Ender Dragon Replaces Bats Spawns in caves Stage 1 Health 100 Neutral to players Shoots Dragon Fireballs Smaller than Stage 2 Baby Dragon Drops 24 Ender Pearls and 02 Diamonds Stage 2 Health 120 Hostile to players Villagers and

Home Treatments Bunion Surgery Bunion Surgery Bunion surgery is a medical procedure in which the surgeon cuts into the inner side of the foot , close to the big toe joint and remove any excessive soft tissue or realigns the bone . This surgical intervention is performed when other non - surgical treatments for bunions did not provide the desired results and it is often done for two purposes : one to relieve the excruciating pain and two , to realign the deformed joint . Sometimes , additional metallic wires might be used to restore the normal alignment of the big toe joint and hold it Even though there are almost one hundred of bunion surgery procedures available , not one guarantees complete elimination of the problem or the symptoms . The surgeon will decide on the best procedure according to the extent of the deformation and he or she might decide to perform more procedures at once , in order to obtain the best results . The main objective is to correct the existent deformity , thus allowing the patient to resume his or her normal daily activities . Bunions appear as a direct result of a foot deformity , known as hallux valgus . The big toe actually turns outward , the entire joint being twisted towards that direction . The modifications appear in the area , the joint becomes prominent as there are a lot of excess soft tissue and bone . The most common cause that leads to the appearance of bunions is the prolonged wearing of shoes that are either too small or have a tip that is too tight . Medical conditions , such as arthritis or poliomyelitis can lead to bunions and it seems that there is the possibility of genetic inheritance . However , returning to the Bunion Surgery Procedure There are medical approaches when it comes to bunion surgery : Tendon and ligament repair This procedure is recommended when there is an imbalance between the lateral tissues around the big toe ( too much constriction on one side and too little relaxation on the other side ) . The surgeon will intervene in order to shorten the relaxed tendon and also to make the constricted one longer . Osteotomy This procedure is performed often times simultaneously with the one presented above . The surgeon will make small cuts in the bone , bringing the bones into their physiological and anatomical position . Arthrodesis The damaged joint surface is removed and then the surgeon might decide to use wires , screws or plates in order to hold the joint together until the healing process is complete . This is a procedure recommended in patients who have severe deformations in their toes , with large bunions , those who have an underlying medical condition causing bunions ( arthritis ) or when other surgical procedures have failed to provide the expected results . Lapidus procedure This is a variant procedure of the one mentioned above , in which the joint between the metatarsal bone and the mid - food undergoes fusion . Exostectomy ( bunionectomy ) The excessive tissue and bone are removed from the joint and , sometimes , the surgeon might also decide to remove a part of the metatarsal head . This procedure is recommended only when there is a bulge on the side of the toe joint , without any additional deformation . It is not a common course of treatment , as it is believed that it does not correct the actual cause of the bunion . Resection arthroplasty The damaged portion of the joint is removed . This procedure is done in elder patients , in those who have already had other types of bunion surgery or in severe cases of arthritis . The joint will retain some of its flexibility , despite the considerable scarring . Implant insertion An artificial joint might be inserted in order to replace part or all of the affected toe joint . Cost The cost of bunion surgery depends on the geographical location , the facility in which the surgery takes place and the surgeon performing the operation . The overall cost is affected by the type of procedure chosen for your medical condition , the number of hospital days and other healthcare related costs . It is for the best that you check your insurance policy and see what is actually covered . On average , bunion surgery costs somewhere between $ 3500 and $ 5000 . Recovery time The success of the recovery process is guaranteed if you follow the instructions that the orthopedic surgeon has given to you . The dressing care is of utmost importance ; as you will leave from the hospital , the recently operated area will have a special bandage that holds the toe in the correct position . Moreover , you might wear a brace or a cast in order to further protect your foot . The sutures are going to be removed in the next couples of weeks but you will probably wear the supportive brace for six to eight weeks The healing process should be supported during this period and it is highly important that you maintain the area dry . You should not let water get in that area until it is properly healed . Also , it is very important that you do not bear weight on the said food during the first days after the surgery . You will have to walk using a cane or crutches , bearing weight on that foot only after the wound has healed . If there is a lot of inflammation and pain after the surgery , then you should keep Physical therapy is an important part of the recovery period , as a good program can help you increase mobility in the recently operated area and also to strengthen the muscles . The exercises in the first days of the surgery are going to be simple , their complexity increasing gradually as the wound heals and there is a lot more mobility in the area .

Home Diseases and Conditions Prurigo Nodularis Prurigo Nodularis What is Prurigo Nodularis ? Prurigo nodularis is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by the onset of itchy papules in the extremities . The itch and scratch cycle in prurigo nodularis results in the development of more papules . Prurigo nodularis is often exhibited as multiple eruptions of excoriated papules on the surfaces of the limbs resulting from the incessant scratching . The more scratching made the more lumps will develop . Prurigo nodularis is also known by another name such as Hyde prurigo nodularis and Picker ’ s nodules . The disease was first described in 1909 by Hyde and Montgomery describing the disease as itchy nodules on the extensor surface of the lower extremities . The disease was first described among middle aged women . Prurigo nodularis is the most severe form of prurigo . This skin condition on the other hand is rather benign . Prurigo nodularis can affect the quality of life as the extent of pruritus and nodules can be debilitating and bothersome . The disease does not increase the chances of mortality except in the presence of underlying condition where the onset of prurigo nodularis is a secondary disease . There are cases where prurigo nodularis is being linked with a malignancy such as Hodgkin disease where prurigo nodularis is the manifestation of the primary disease . In modern day medicine , prurigo nodularis is regarded as the most common dermatosis in HIV patients where the incidence is deemed as a sign of severe immunosuppression . The incidence of prurigo nodularis is found to be common among middle aged individuals and older adults although it can arise in any age group . No racial predilection has been recognized and the disease is deemed to occur in people worldwide . The frequency of the disease between sexes has not been fully recognized although there have been reports where prurigo nodularis is found to be prevalent among women . Prurigo Nodularis Symptoms Prurigo nodularis is common among middle aged individuals and older adults although children may also get affected . It initially develops as a small and an itchy red bump on the extensor surface of the limbs . Prurigo nodularis causes an intense itching that provokes a vigorous scratching to relieve the itchiness . Scratching of the nodules however only intensifies the symptom of itchiness and only brings in more nodules . The individual size of the nodule is about 1 cm to 3 cm in diameter and initially develops in the arms or legs although the nodules may develop in any part of the body . The nodules are discrete and appearing in hundred or two hundreds approximately and often appear in clusters and are symmetrically distributed . Excoriation of nodules is evident with a top that is flat and umbilicated or may have a crusted top . The crusty or scaly presentation of the nodules is due to the incessant scratching that brought the nodules to break off and sore Itchiness is one of the hallmarks of prurigo nodularis along with the development of the nodules . The frequency of itchiness is so intense that it can distract the daily activities and can even disturb the sleep particularly at night time . The itchiness can also provoke a non - stop scratching to alleviate the itchiness although scratching can only make the condition worse . It only adds growth of new nodules while scratching can also cause the nodules to break off leading to sore that will cause the nodules to bleed . When the skin surface breaks off , Long standing pruritus is the common complaint of patients with prurigo nodularis . The intensity of the pruritus causes the affected individual seems anxious , restless and worried . The disease usually lingers for a long time that it may cause depression and stress to the patient . Scratching does not provide relief , but only result in formation of new nodules whereas the old nodules do no resolve spontaneously . The old nodules will only leave a scar which can be darkly or lightly pigmented . Prurigo Nodularis Causes The exact etiology of prurigo nodularis remains unidentified . The pathophysiology of whether the lump or the itchiness occurred first remains vague as well . The exact cause of the inflammation and the formation of lumps and the amplification in the size of the nerve of the skin all remain unclear . While the exact cause of prurigo nodularis remains unclear , several factors or conditions are considered to predispose the incidence of prurigo nodularis . Atopic dermatitis It is among the considered trigger of prurigo nodularis . Several numbers of patients reported to have a family history of atopic dermatitis prior to the development of prurigo nodularis . Insect bites Insect bite is considered a trigger of prurigo nodularis . The reaction to insect bites is believed to have perpetuated the itchiness and nodule formation . Other conditions been linked to the onset of prurigo nodularis include the following : Immunodeficiency disorders including HIV Iron deficiency anemia Gluten enteropathy Malignancies Psychiatric illnesses Liver and renal dysfunction Prurigo Nodularis Treatment Prurigo nodularis is an inflammatory skin condition that is rather difficult to treat . It is considered as a resistant skin condition that the success of treatment is either mild or moderate . The challenge of controlling the disease is often done with a combination of medications . The primary aim of treatment is to stop the patient from scratching which proves to be difficult on the part of the patient . Scratching only worsen the condition that it is necessary to alleviate the pruritus through medical means and not from scratching . Treatments used to alleviate the itchiness and to reduce the inflammation and the lesions include the following : Antihistamines Corticosteroid Capsaicin cream Topical anesthetics For more severe prurigo nodularis and for systemic treatments , the following are considered : Anticonvulsants Phototherapy Thalidomide Systemic retinoids Oral steroid Tricyclic antidepressant Prurigo Nodularis Pictures Collection of photos , images and pictures of the health condition Prurigo Nodularis … Is Prurigo Nodularis contagious ? Prurigo nodularis is not a contagious disease . It is an inflammatory skin condition with an unknown cause . The condition is believed to be from a repetitive trauma to the skin such as the mechanism of an itch – scratch cycle that resulted in the development of itchy nodules .

⇐ Previous Article Next Article ⇒ Subaru Timing Belt Replacement Tips & Advice Subaru Timing Belt Facts Subaru 2.5 DOHC and SOHC are interference engines Subaru timing belts are due for replacement at 105K Oil will shorten the life of your timing belt The water pump should be replaced with the timing belt When replacing the timing belt on a Subaru 2.5L SOHC or DOHC motors there are a few common things to look for and I have some tips to help you get through the job even if you do n ’ t have the factory tools . If you ’ re interested in buying factory tools Subaru uses Kent Moore for their specialty tool manufacturer . Otherwise keep reading for some quick and easy Subaru timing belt tips and tricks . What to look for when replacing a Subaru timing belt Subaru timing belt recommendation is at 105K but it ’ s not common to have to replace the timing belt before this mileage due to oil leaks from either the cam seal ’ s or front crankshaft seal . There are other spots to check such as the oil pump and the large piston access 12mm allen head bolts in front of the block also leak oil sometimes . Now as far as the rest of the components go I almost always recommend the water pump to be replaced due to mileage and there are a few timing belt idler interference motor Now it ’ s time to get to the timing belt to inspect all these parts we know now to look for . First challenge , break free and remove the front crankshaft pulley . Now these bolts are very tight from the factory and require a lot of torque to break them loose . How are you going to hold the pulley from moving to break it free ? You could use the special Kent Moore tool or just take a breaker bar and 22mm socket on end of crank bolt , wedge the breaker bar next to the Breaker bar on the front crank bolt Now you have the covers off and your ready to start taking off the timing belt . Before you get ahead of yourself you need to break loose the cam gear bolts and this is done best with the timing belt still on . Get a couple clips and attach them to the belt / gear to prevent the belt from jumping when breaking free the bolts . Now reinstall the crank bolt and turn the motor till the timing marks align . Install a 22mm wrench to the crank bolt and wedge it up against the alternator pulley . Replacing Subaru Cam Seals So , you need to change the cam seals , water pump , inspect the timing belt tensioner and idler pulleys for wear and replace as needed . Most of these parts are sel explanatory for replacing except for the cam seals . You ’ re probably wondering how to remove them . We ’ ll there are lots of different techniques yu could use and I ’ m not going into detail about that because there are just so many different ways you could get them out . I use an actual cam seal puller . Here is a picture of the cam a cam seal puller . A cheap investment that could save you from an expensive repair . I used to use a pick too , but no matter how you decide on how to remove them just be careful not to scratch the camshaft because it can cause the seal to leak . Not too long ago I had a customer in with an oil leak that was just that , he scratched the camshaft while removing the cam seals so just be careful . Subaru Timing Belt Tensioners The last thing I will tip you on is how to compress the hydraulic tensioner for the timing belt . All you really need is a decent bench vise that opens far enough to fit the tensioner in it and slowly compress the tensioner careful not to force the piston ; you will fell the tension release after a short wait with each turn of the bench vise . Once the tensioner is compressed all the way use a small long allen key and slide through the lock pinhole . The picture below shows a compressed tensioner using the factory Subaru timing belt tensioner compressed in a bench vise . Pin locked and ready for installation . That pretty much sums up all I have for now , if you like the article leave me a comment or ask a question . I ’ m always happy to answer them . Do n ’ t forget to like my page too , thanks . Large channel locks big enough to fit around the crankshaft pulley . These channel locks are made by blue point . Cogged idler pulley installed , this is usually the first pulley to wear out because it is under a more heavy load than the others . Breaker bar on the front crank bolt Tightening the front crank bolt with breaker bar and channel locks This is a very cool ratchet for breaking free bolts on pulleys without using a special holding tool . Left side cam gear with timing mark aligned – Subaru 2.5 SOHC Subaru camshaft seal leaking oil Subaru cogged timing belt idler pulley before timing belt install Subaru 2.5 SOHC timing belt installed Subaru timing belt tensioner compressed in a bench vise .

VII . Chemicals : Managing , Handling and Disposing Safety in Ordering , Storing , Using and Disposing of Chemicals Print Version ( 90 KB Acrobat ) Maintaining chemical safety requires care in ordering , storing , using , and disposing of chemicals . Chemical safety is the responsibility of everyone who uses the classroom laboratory , but safe management of chemicals begins with the teacher who orders and uses these products . MAINTAINING CHEMICAL SAFETY REQUIRES . . . careful selection of all reagent chemicals . accurate assessment of relative hazards of chemicals . proper labeling and storage of all chemicals . safe use of all materials . proper disposal of all materials . Safe management of chemicals in the classroom requires that the teacher have adequate knowledge of the chemicals to be used and their interactions . Information about these chemicals is available on the Materials Safety Data Sheets ( MSDSs ) for each chemical , in chemical catalogues , and on container labels . An Internet search under the keyword " MSDS " will yield information on websites that supply information on chemicals . See Appendix C , MSDS : Explanation and Samples . Before making a request to use a reagent chemical not on the school system ’ s approved list , the teacher should read and research the appropriate MSDS to determine whether the chemical can be safely used with students . The teacher also should consider - - the relative hazard level of the chemical . the educational value of using the chemical . the teacher ’ s experience or lack of experience in using the substance . the degree to which the laboratory is equipped for the safe use of the chemical . See Chapter III . E , Ventilation . A . Managing Reagent Chemicals Selecting Reagent Chemicals Each school system should develop a list of reagents acceptable for use in the various science courses . A teacher who wishes to use a substance not on the appropriate list must seek the permission of the science supervisor by submitting a written request . The request should include the following : A copy of the lesson plan for the proposed demonstration or laboratory exercise . Information supporting the following assertions : Use of the substance is pedagogically sound . The demonstration or laboratory exercise using the substance is an effective way to illustrate an important property , process or concept . No satisfactory substitute for the substance is readily available . Adequate safeguards are in place to ensure proper use of the substance . Students will be instructed in the proper handling of the substance ( as indicated in the lesson plan ) . Information on the following to enable the supervisor to make an informed decision : the extent of exposure of students and the teacher to the chemical ( including estimate of time to the nearest minute ) . the age or maturity level of the students who will be exposed . In considering a substance for use in the laboratory , teachers are advised to check hazardous materials lists available in print and on the Internet . Resources available include the following : The National Toxicological Program for lists of carcinogenic and reproductive toxins ( teratogens and mutagens ) The National Research Council ’ s Prudent Practices in the Laboratory ( 1995 ) , Chapter 3 , for lists of carcinogens , mutagens , teratogens , and highly flammable materials The Oak Ridge Toxicology Information Resources Center ’ s Catalog of Teratogenic Agents Appearance of a substance on one of these lists does not preclude its appropriate use in the school laboratory . The dose makes the difference . Even common substances such as water and salt can be toxic in excessive quantities . Many substances that are toxic at some levels can safely be used at lower levels . Materials Safety Data Sheets ( MSDSs ) , which provide information on toxicity levels , may be found on the Internet . Appendix H , Resources . Ordering Reagent Chemicals Before ordering reagent chemicals , the teacher should - make sure the chemical is on the school system ’ s list of approved chemicals . be capable of assessing the hazards of chemicals . be sufficiently knowledgeable to recognize requests from other teachers for nonessential chemicals . have a current inventory of existing chemicals . Chapter VII . A . 3 , Chemical Inventory . Reagent chemicals should be ordered in quantities consistent with the rate of use . Reagent chemicals should be ordered in polyethylene bottles or plastic - coated bottles , if available , to minimize breakage , corrosion , and rust . For each reagent chemical used , ask the following questions : Can proper storage be provided for the chemical ? Are the facilities appropriate for the use of the chemical ? Will the chemical or its end products require disposal as hazardous waste ? Is appropriate personal protective equipment available for safe use of the chemical or its end product ? Have persons who will handle and use the chemical been trained in handling reagent chemicals ? Are they aware of the hazards ? Chemical Inventory Inventories of reagents are essential in the control of chemical hazards . They enable members of the science department to determine the existence of a specific reagent chemical , its location , and its approximate shelf age . A reagent chemical inventory should be conducted at least once a year . The chemical inventory record should - contain the date the inventory was conducted . identify chemical reagents by name and formula . specify the amount of each reagent present . indicate the storage location of each reagent . indicate the hazard of each reagent , using information from the Material Data Safety Sheet ( MSDS ) for each substance and the appropriate National Fire Protection Association hazard code . Appendix E , NFPA Identification Codes , and Appendix C , Materials Data Safety Sheets ( MSDS ) : Explanation and Samples . The following website offers more information on this topic : http : / / www . nfpa . org - National Fire Protection Association indicate the arrival date and quantity of all reagents received . The following website offers more information on this topic : http : / / www . osha . gov - Occupational Safety and Health Administration Chemical Storage General Guidelines Secure storage areas against unauthorized removal of chemicals by students or others . Protect the school environment by restricting emissions from stored reagent chemicals . Vents should be ducted to the outside . Where possible , storage areas should have two separate exits . Maintain clear access to and from the storage areas . Do not store chemicals in aisles or stairwells , on desks or laboratory benches , on floors or in hallways , or in fume hoods . Use NFPA - or OSHA - approved storage cabinets for flammable chemicals . Use an appropriate " Acid Cabinet " for any acid solutions of 6 M concentration or higher . Nitric acid needs to be isolated . Use refrigerators of explosion - proof or explosion - safe design only . Do not use standard refrigerators to store flammable chemicals . Place NO FOOD labels on refrigerators used to store chemicals . Label storage areas with a general hazard symbol to identify hazardous chemicals and indicate correct fire fighting procedures . Appendix E , NFPA Hazard Codes . File a Material Safety Data Sheet ( MSDS ) for every chemical stored in the laboratory . Store all reagent chemicals in compatible family groups . Do not alphabetize . Appendix F , Storage of Chemicals . Store all chemicals at eye level and below . The preferred shelving material is wood treated with polyurethane or a similar impervious material . All shelving should have a two - inch lip . If you use shelving with metal brackets , inspect the clips and brackets annually for corrosion and replace as needed . Store chemical reagents prepared in the laboratory in plastic bottles ( if possible and appropriate to the chemical ) to minimize the risk of breakage . Date containers upon receipt and again when opened . Attach chemical labels with all necessary information to all containers . Chapter VII . A . 5 , Labeling of Stored Reagent Chemicals . When opening newly received reagent chemicals , immediately read the warning labels to be aware of any special storage precautions such as refrigeration or inert atmosphere storage . Test peroxide - forming substances periodically for peroxide levels ; dispose of these substances after three months unless the MSDS for the substance indicates a longer shelf life . Appendix G , Hazards of Peroxide - Forming Substances , and Appendix C , Materials Data Safety Sheets ( MSDS ) : Explanation and Samples . Check chemical containers periodically for rust , corrosion , and leakage . Store bottles of especially hazardous and moisture - absorbing chemicals in chemical - safe bags . Maintain a complete inventory in the room where the chemicals are stored , and make a copy available to fire fighters . Keep storage areas clean and orderly at all times . Have spill cleanup supplies ( absorbents , neutralizers ) in any room where chemicals are stored or used . Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids Definitions Flash point is defined as the minimum temperature of a liquid at which it gives off sufficient vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air . Flammable liquid is defined as any liquid that has a flash point below 100 F ( 37.8 ° C ) . Combustible liquid is defined as any liquid that has a flash point at or above 100 F ( 37.8 ° C ) . Guidelines Limit the amount of flammable and combustible materials stored to that required for one year of laboratory work . Use only NFPA - or OSHA - approved metal flammables cabinets to store flammable and combustible liquids . Label the cabinets FLAMMABLE - KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE http : / / www . nfpa . org - National Fire Protection Association When possible , store flammable and combustible liquids in their original containers or safety cans . A safety can is an approved container of not more than 5 gallons ( 18.9 L ) capacity . The container should have a spring - closed spout cover and an integral flame - arrester and be designed to relieve internal pressure safely when exposed to fire . http : / / www . osha . gov - Occupational Safety and Health Administration Storage of Compressed Gases Use small lecture - bottle - type gas cylinders only . Store all gas cylinders in an upright position . Store gas cylinders in a cool dry place away from corrosive chemicals or fumes . Store gas cylinders away from highly flammable substances . When cylinders are no longer in use , shut the valves , relieve the pressure in the gas regulators , removed the regulators , and cap the cylinders . Label empty gas cylinders EMPTY or MT Store empty gas cylinders separately from full gas cylinders . Store flammable or toxic gases at or above ground level - not in basements . Use cylinders of toxic , flammable , or reactive gases in fume hoods only . When moving cylinders , be sure the valve cap is securely in place to protect the valve stem and valve . Do not use the valve cap as a lifting lug . If large gas cylinders are used , they should be chained . A hand truck should be available for transporting them to and from the storage area . Labeling of Stored Reagent Chemicals Proper labeling is fundamental to a safe and effective laboratory operation . Reagents created in the laboratory also require labeling . Purchased Reagent Chemicals All purchased reagent chemicals should be labeled with - chemical name . date received . date of initial opening . shelf - life . hazard warnings . Appendix E , NFPA Identification Codes . storage classification location . name and address of manufacturer . Solutions All reagents created in the laboratory should be labeled with - chemical name and formula . concentration . date prepared . name of person who prepared the reagent . storage classification . hazard warning label ( available from a safety supplier ) . reference to original source of chemical ( e.g. , manufacturer , which jar , etc . ) . B . Handling Reagent Chemicals Dispensing Reagent Chemicals The MSDS for an individual substance should always be consulted before a chemical is used for any reason . It is the best source of information about possible hazards , spill procedures , handling procedures and first aid for any substance . Teachers are responsible for instructing their students about safe methods for working with chemicals . Safety Guidelines for Dispensing Reagent Chemicals Use the smallest amount of the chemical possible in any experiment . Microscale experiments should be considered . Consider distributing the amount of chemical for an experiment into vials for each student . This minimizes waste and can save time during the class period . Use proper containers for dispensing solids and liquids . Solids should be contained in wide - mouthed bottles and liquids in containers that have drip - proof lips . Label all containers properly . Never return dispensed chemicals to stock bottle , as it inevitably results in contamination despite your best precautions . Dispensing Flammable Liquids When a liquid flows from one container to another , static electricity can build up in one of the containers . If this charge becomes large enough , a spark will be produced between the containers , and a flammable liquid may be ignited . This is particularly a danger when the liquid is stored in a large container and distributed to smaller containers . Such containers should be bonded and grounded Bonding refers to providing an electrical connection between the two containers . Commonly this is accomplished by attaching a wire , fastening one end each to the two containers . Grounding refers to connecting one of the containers ( usually the stationary one ) to a grounding source such as a metallic water pipe . Common Hazards Four categories of hazards commonly found in school laboratories are : corrosives , flammables , oxidizers / reactives , and toxins . In this section , mercury is discussed separately as a special hazard . Corrosives Corrosives are materials that can injure body tissue or cause corrosion of metal by direct chemical action . Major classes of corrosive substances are : strong acids ( e.g. , sulfuric , nitric , hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids ) strong bases ( e.g. , sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide ) dehydrating agents ( e.g. , sulfuric acid , sodium hydroxide , phosphorus pentoxide , and calcium oxide ) oxidizing agents ( e.g. , hydrogen peroxide , chlorine , and bromine ) Flammables Flammable substances have the potential to catch fire readily and burn in air . A flammable liquid itself does not catch fire ; it is the vapors produced by the liquid that burn . Important properties of flammable liquids : Flash point is the minimum temperature of a liquid at which sufficient vapor is given off to form an ignitable mixture with air . Ignition temperature is the minimum temperature required to initiate self - sustained combustion independent of a heat source . Chapter VII . A . 4 . b , Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids . Oxidizers / Reactives Oxidizers / reactives include chemicals that can explode , violently polymerize , form explosive peroxides , or react violently with water or atmospheric oxygen . Oxidizers : An oxidizing agent is any material that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials , either by causing fire itself or by releasing oxygen or other combustible gases . Reactives : Reactives include materials that are pyrophoric ( " flammable solids " ) , are water reactive , form explosive peroxides , or may undergo such reactions as violent polymerization . Toxins A toxic substance is one that , even in small amounts , can injure living tissue . Methods of Toxins Entering the Body : Ingestion - Absorption through the digestive tract . This process can occur through eating with contaminated hands or in contaminated areas . Absorption - Absorption through the skin often causes dermatitis . Some toxins that are absorbed through the skin or eyes can damage the liver , kidney , or other organs . Inhalation - Absorption through the respiratory tract ( lungs ) through breathing . This process is the most important route in terms of severity . Injection - Percutaneous injection of a toxic substance through the skin . This process can occur in the handling of sharp - edged pieces of broken glass apparatus and through misuse of sharp materials such as hypodermic needles . Types of Toxins OSHA defines a hazardous chemical as any chemical that is a physical or a health hazard ( CFR 1910.1200 ) . Many chemicals can cause toxic effects in the body . Below are some classes of toxic chemicals . Information about these chemicals is available on the MSDS for each chemical , in chemical catalogues , on container labels , and on several Internet sources . http : / / www . osha . gov - Occupational Safety and Health Administration Irritants are noncorrosive chemicals that cause reversible inflammatory effects ( swelling and redness ) on living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact . Because a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals are irritants , skin and eye contact with all chemicals in the laboratory should be avoided . Corrosive substances are solids , liquids , and gases that cause destruction of living tissue by chemical action at the site of contact . Allergens are substances which cause an adverse reaction by the immune system . As these reactions result from previous sensitization from the substance or similar substance , chemical allergens will be different for each person . Asphyxiants are substances that interfere with the transport of an adequate supply of oxygen to the vital organs of the body . They can do this by either displacing oxygen from the air or by combining with hemoglobin and thus reducing the blood ’ s ability to transport oxygen . Carcinogens are cancer - causing substances listed in the Annual Report on Carcinogens . Many substances known or suspected to be carcinogenic are still found to be in high school laboratories . There is little reason for most of them to be there ; they should be disposed of as quickly as possible . Reproductive & developmental toxins ( teratogens and mutagens ) either have an adverse effect on the various aspects of reproduction ( fertility , gestation , lactation and general reproductive performance ) or act during pregnancy to cause adverse effects on the embryo or fetus . Neurotoxins induce an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and / or peripheral nervous system . These effects can be permanent or reversible . Toxins affecting other organs can also be a hazard . Most of the chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds , some metals , carbon monoxide , cyanides , and others can produce one or more effects on target organs in the body . Mercury Mercury and its compounds , both organic and inorganic , are health hazards . Metallic mercury has a measurable vapor pressure , and the production of vapor is accentuated by heating the mercury or subdividing as occurs in a spill . Laboratory sources of mercury include , among others , thermometers , manometers ( barometers ) , and batteries . Not only is the vapor harmful , but the metal itself is absorbable through the intact skin . Mercury and its compounds should never be found in the elementary or middle school . In high schools , mercury should be used only under special circumstances . Mercury is acceptable in high school only if all four of these criteria are met : No substitute is available that will provide the degree of accuracy required for the operation . The teacher has obtained prior approval from the science supervisor . All persons in the laboratory working with mercury or an instrument containing mercury wear chemical splash safety goggles , full face shields , aprons , and adequate clothing to prevent skin contact . Access to mercury or any instrument containing the element is restricted by keeping source and instrument under lock and key except when in use . Spill Cleanup General Notes on Chemical Spills Spills should be contained , the area cleared of students , and the spill cleaned up immediately . Waste from spill cleanup should be disposed of appropriately . Chapter VII . C , Chemical Waste Strategies . After floor spill has been thoroughly cleaned up in the appropriate manner , the area should be mopped dry to minimize the risk of slipping and falling . Spills that Constitute Fire Hazard Extinguish all flames immediately . Shut down all experiments . Vacate the room until the situation has been corrected . Other Spills Use an absorbent material to neutralize the liquids . Materials include : for acids , powdered sodium bicarbonate for bromine , sodium thiosulfate solution ( 5 - 10 % ) or limewater for organic acids , halides , nonmetallic compounds , or inorganic acids , use slaked lime and soda ash or general spills , use commercial absorbents or spill kits , small particles of clay absorbents ( kitty litter ) , or vermiculite Wear rubber gloves and use a dustpan and brush . Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water , then mop dry . Aromatic amine , carbon disulfide , ether , nitrile , nitro compound , and organic halide spills should be absorbed with cloths , paper towels , or vermiculite and disposed of in suitably closed containers . Mercury Spills Whenever possible , mercury should not be used in school laboratories . If and when it is used , however , there is a chance of a spill occurring . Each laboratory should therefore be equipped with a specialized , commercially available , mercury - spill kit . Follow the directions found in your kit for cleaning up a mercury spill . C . Chemical Waste Strategies All laboratory work with chemicals eventually produces chemical waste . Everyone associated with the science laboratory shares the legal and moral responsibility to minimize the amount of waste produced and to dispose of chemical waste in a way that has the least impact on the environment . Depending on what is contained in the waste , some waste must be professionally incinerated or deposited in designated landfills , while other waste can be neutralized or discharged in normal streams . Minimizing Waste Alternative Substances Whenever possible , use less toxic substances in place of the more toxic chemicals to minimize the hazards and disposal costs associated with using certain chemicals . The table below contains a list of suggested substitutions for some toxic chemicals . Toxic Chemical Substitute Chloroform Hexanes Carbon tetrachloride Hexanes 1 , 4 - Dioxane Tetrahydrofuran Benzene Cyclohexane or Toluene Xylene Toluene 2 - Butanol 1 - Butanol Lead chromate Copper carbonate p - Dichlorobenzene Naphthalene , Lauric acid , Cetyl alcohol , 1 - Octadecanol , Palmitic acid , or Stearic acid Potassium Calcium Dichromate / Sulfuric acid mixture Ordinary detergents Trisodium phosphate Ordinary detergents Alcoholic potassium hydroxide Microscale Laboratories Microscale experiments reduce the amount of material required , therefore reducing the hazards encountered and disposal costs . Many laboratory manuals on the market describe microscale experiments . These should be considered whenever possible to replace " classic " laboratory experiments . Classroom Demonstrations Another way to reduce the hazards for students , and reduce the amount of waste generated , is for the teacher to perform classroom demonstrations for the more hazardous experiments rather than have each student carry out the experiment . Coordinate Laboratory Work When planning laboratory experiments , try to coordinate with co - workers who may be doing the same or similar experiments so that reagents are made up at one time in the building , thus minimizing the amount of " left - over " reagent at the end of the experiment . Waste Storage Prior to Disposal All waste should be stored in properly labeled containers . The label should contain the date , type of waste , and any other pertinent information required by the disposal company . Waste should be segregated to avoid unwanted reactions and to allow for cost - effective disposal . Waste should be stored in closed containers except when additional waste is being added . Each school science department should maintain a central , secure waste storage area . Disposing of Waste Teachers should be aware of the appropriate method of disposal for any chemical used in the school laboratory . When in doubt , refer to the MSDS , a disposal manual , or the source of the chemical . Classification of Hazardous Waste The Environmental Protection Agency classifies wastes as : Ignitable : has a flash point below 140 ° C , is an oxidizer , or is an ignitable compressed gas . Corrosive : has a pH equal to or below 2.0 or a pH equal to or greater than 12.5 . Reactive : is reactive with air or water , is explosive , or is cyanide or sulfide . Toxic : has certain levels of certain metals , solvents , or pesticides greater than prescribed limits . Others : any chemical found in the lists in 40 CFR 261 subpart D . Classroom Management Make disposal options a part of all laboratory instructions for students . For each chemical waste produced , instruct students as to the appropriate disposal , including disposing of the substance in a disposal container or down the drain . Chapter VII . C . 3 . c , Drain Disposal . Place all laboratory waste in a properly labeled container . The label should contain the date and type of waste . Immediately following the laboratory activity , place the waste containers in a secure location until the containers can be removed to the central storage area . Some chemical wastes may be recycled . Teachers should seek guidance on recycling from local safety officers or other knowledgeable administrative staff . Drain Disposal Before considering drain disposal , be certain that the sewer flows to a wastewater treatment plant and not to a stream or other natural water course . Check with the local waste water treatment plant authority to determine what substances are acceptable for drain disposal Any substance from a laboratory should be flushed with at least 100 times its own volume of tap water . Acids and bases should be at least above pH 3 and below pH 8 before being placed in a sanitary drain . If both ions of a compound are on the following lists , that compound may be placed in a sanitary drain : Positive Ions Negative Ions aluminum borate ammonium bromide bismuth carbonate calcium chloride copper cyanate hydrogen hydrogen sulfide iron hydroxide lithium iodide magnesium nitrate potassium phosphate sodium sulfate strontium sulfite tin tetraboratex titanium thiocyanate zinc zirconium The following organic compounds can go into a drain : acetic acid oxalic acid acetone pentanols butanols propanols esters with less than 5 carbon atoms sodium salts of carboxylic acids ethanol potassium salts of carboxylic acids ethylene glycol formic acid glycerol sugars methanol For additional information on drain disposal of substances , see the National Research Council ’ s Prudent Practices in the Laboratory ( 1983 ) . http : / / www . nap . edu - National Academy Press If in doubt about the proper disposal of a chemical , check with the local safety officer or refer to Flinn or a similar reference . Compounds Not Suitable for Drain Disposal For compounds not suitable for drain disposal , label and package the compound and ship by a shipper approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation to a landfill designated by EPA to receive chemical and hazardous waste . Even though packed , shipped , and disposed of by licensed and approved firms , generators of hazardous waste are responsible for the wastes .

I got over bronchitis 3 weeks ago , then the week after that I got allergies and had bad post nasal drip . Upon waking in the mornings I had very hard coughing , sometimes bending over slightly and straining , to remove the muscus in my lungs that drained there the night before . After a couple days of this I felt a stinging senstation in my solar plexus directly under my breast bone where the tiny solar plexus bump is . A couple days after that it turned to a dull pain , it has eased off for Thank you Gender : Male How tall are you ( feet and inches ) ? : 5ft 8in What is your weight in pounds ? : 137 How old are you ? : 58 How long has this been going on ? : A few days Check all symptoms you are currently experiencing : None of these Describe associated symptoms not listed above : Only symptoms I have I have stated in my question section .

Possible cause of the pain I am having in my solar plexus at the solar plexus bump . Sir , From what you are saying it is likely that you have a gastritis or irritation of the stomach . Some over the counter remedies like Tums or Rolaids may help . However , and this is very important , it is also possible that these symptoms could indicate a pneumonia or even a heart problem . Given your history of tobacco use and your age and your symptoms you , at least , need to get an EKG ( tracing of the heart ) and a chest Xray . Please do get with your doctor or get to an urgent Posted by MDSTAT_ER_DOC_1 at 4 : 31 PM Email This BlogThis ! Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest 11 comments : Anonymous said . . . I am the original poster of this question . About the middle of January of this year I had and EKG , Chest X - rays , CT heart scan and blood test done , The doctor said all tests shsowed my heart was ok . I have norman blood pressure , usually about 117 / 75 , my resting heart rate is about 68 , but I am not sure of my active heart rate . Thought this may be helpful as I forgot to mention these in my orginal posting of the question May 2 , 2012 at 7 : 09 PM MDSTAT_ER_DOC_1 said . . . Sir , The above tests are useful in saying your heart is PROBABLY okay , but the cardiac CT does not yet approach the accuracy or a stress test when assessing do wary disease . Again , base on your symptoms I think this is unlikely to be your heart , but if I were to see you in my office or the ER I would get a chest X - ray and an EKG on you and , based on my exam an the results of these tests would then hope to get a better idea of a likely cause . May 2 , 2012 at 8 : 11 PM space doc said . . . Dear Solar Plexus pain : I agree with Med Doc 1 that this is not easy to diagnose . Despite the fact that your tests in Januaey were ok it still possible that you might have something going on with either heart or lungs . After a heavy coughing episode it is also possible that you may have caused a little leak in the lung tissue ( pneuothorax or pneumomediastinum ) that cause some air to leak out and can cause chest pain that can mimic a heart attack . There are abdominal muscles that attach to the area around the solar plexus ' " bump " ( called the xiphoid process - - a normal piece of cartilage ) and lt is also possible youl could have strained these muscles with the coughing . A small pneumothorax or pneuomediastinum will heal itself if the coughing slows down , but it still should be checked with your doctor . For the future it would be VERY important to get off of the cigarettes - - I ' m sure you ' ve heard that advice before . Good luck ! We ' d love to hear how this turns out - - - hope it will be all for the better ! Space Doc . May 3 , 2012 at 4 : 11 AM Anonymous said . . . Thanks for the advice given me here . I took the advice of MDSTAT_ER_DOC_1 and went to the ER . The attending doctor stated that EKG , X - Ray , Blood tests all looked good . Said the lungs showed no signs of pnuemonia and he felt it was a low chance it was heart related but suggested I have a stress test as soon as I can since I am a smoker and my files show a family history of some heart problems and such . Again I thank you both for the advice you have given me . I will try to give a follow up as soon as I have completed the stress test . May 3 , 2012 at 2 : 01 PM space Doc said . . . Sounds good so far ! - - - Thanks for the follow up information . Keep us posted and continued good luck ! Space Doc . May 3 , 2012 at 4 : 44 PM Just got back from cadiologist . The cardiologist stated the EKG done today and his personal examination of me all seemed fine and he thought I just had a pulled muscle in that area . But he does want me to have cholesterol blood test before I take the treadmill stress test . I will give an update as soon as they set up my stress test and I get the results . May 7 , 2012 at 11 : 32 AM space doc said . . . Again thanks for the follow - up . Hope the cholesterol will be o.k. - - Im sure he ' ll give you the total cholesterol and the HDL portion ( the " good " cholesterol ) as well as the " bad " LDL portion " ' The cigarettes tend to lower the good HDL so keep working on the smoking . Look forward to hearing the stress test results . Best of luck ! ! Space Doc May 10 , 2012 at 3 : 12 PM I have had a very similar problem an d cant seem to find any information . I dont have any coughing but usually it starts at about 4 in the morning my mouth starts filling up with thick sticky clear mucus along with chest pain in my solar plexus area and a crushing pain in my throat . Sometimes the feeling is similar to my mouth filling up before I vomit but this happens non stop for hours . The only thing I ' ve noticed that might cause it is excessive smoking the previous day . I really hope you can share if you find something out . May 15 , 2012 at 6 : 43 AM Had my teadmill stress test today . Cardiologist said it looked fine . But since I am a smoker , had 2 uncles that died of heart attack and my Cholesterol was 130 he wanted me to lower my cholesterol to 100 or under , stop smoking and exercie more for my future health of my heart etc . Thank You all again for your recommendations and advice . May 30 , 2012 at 2 : 44 PM Had my treadmill stress test today . The cardiologist said it looked fine . But since my cholesterol was 130 , had 2 uncles that died of heart attack and I am a smoker he wanted me to lower my cholesterol to 100 or under , stop smoking , and exercise more for my future heart health etc . Thank you all again for the advice you have given me here . May 30 , 2012 at 2 : 49 PM Thanks so much , again , for the update . Sounds like a lot of good news ! I hope the severe coughing and the pain in the solar plexus have subsided . I hope you will be able to win the battle with the cigarettes - - - it may be tough , but it is SO important ! I am curious to know if the cigarettes had lowered the " good " HDL cholesterol level since the total level of 130 is not too bad . Did you have to get on one of the " statin " cholesterol - lowering medications ? ( for example Crestor or one of the other in that family of statins . ) Keep up the good work and make the next 50 years good ones ! All our best ! !

meaning in movies Monday , 10 March 2014 The Grand Budapest Hotel Eye popping colours and a story that moves at relentless pace , filled with great comic timing and sharp editing , all combine to present Wes Anderson ' s latest filmic offering The Grand Budapest Hotel ( TGBH ) . The whole film nestles things within things - ideas within ideas , stories within stories , cakes within boxes . In fact , there was so much stuff crammed into its 99 minutes that I felt exhausted at the end of it ! I felt I needed a rest . The narrative is driven by Ralph Fiennes who stars as Monsieur Gustave , the Concierge of TGBH which is located in an anonymous Eastern European country . Fiennes ' comic timing , facial expressions and the physicality he brings to his character offer a link directly back to the classy style of Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton et al . There is hardly a scene in the film where he is not present . His character is beguiling and at the same time frustrating as he seems to be able to engender in everyone the feelings of greatest warmth and respect towards him . The whole film is as I have said a nestled story but it nestles four times ! It goes back from today to 1932 and recounts how the ownership of TGBH passed from Madame D ( Tilda Swinton ) to Monsieur Gustave and ultimately to Zero Mustafa ( Tony Revolori ) . There is murder and war , families falling out , imprisonment , secretive monks in cable cars , trains - oh , and did I mention cakes ? There is also a constant sexuality embodied by the curious and bi Monsieur Gustave who boasts he ' s had older than the 83 year - old Madame D ! Yes this film is very funny and it tells its story very cleverly . The conception and visualisation are very creative and the Direction spot on . The acting from a massive top - notch ensemble cast is brilliant and the comedy keeps delivering . But I ' m still getting my breath back . Is that a bad thing ? For all it ' s strong points - and it has many - I could n ' t help feeling it left me feeling just a little disappointed . Perhaps Wes Anderson is n ' t my kind of Posted by Duncan Strathie at 21 : 13 Email This BlogThis !

TIP : Compound stone names may be under the type of stone , such as Blue Quartz may be under Q for Quartz . Some articles will open in a new window .

When you first receive your crystals , or if you have been using them for different crystal healing purposes extensively , the crystals will have absorbed a lot of energies from yourself and from other people who have handled them . It ’ s important to cleanse your crystals as soon as you get them . Cleanse them regularly depending on use . The more often you use the crystals , the more often you should cleanse them so that the lingering negative energies will be washed away . When you say crystal cleansing , it ’ s more of cleansing them of their stored good and bad energies and not the physical cleaning with soap and water . The first method you can try is cleansing your crystals with salt water . Crystals that are suitable can be soaked in sea water . If you do n ’ t have access to sea water , you can soak your crystals in water that has been mixed with sea salt or table salt . Fill a glass bowl with the salt water so that the crystals are submerged and leave them there for an hour or up to 24 hours . A lot of crystals owners leave them in the saltwater solution for a night , but crystals that need a deeper cleansing can be left there for up to a week . Thoroughly rinse the crystals in cool running water after you take them out of the salt water . Saltwater can have an adverse effect on some types of crystals , especially if they are porous and have water and metal content . Avoid using this cleansing method on Lapis Lazuli , Opal , Hematite , and Pyrite . The second method is the dry salt method . You can fill a glass bowl with sea salt or cooking salt and place the crystals on the surface or bury them in the salt . Rinse the crystals thoroughly with cool running water and throw away the salt that has absorbed all the negative energies of the crystals . Smudging is another popular method to cleanse your crystals . You will need to burn sage or incense sticks and hold your crystals in the smoke to clear the stored negative energies in them . Incense sticks like cedarwood , sandalwood , and sage can be used for this cleansing method and they will be suitable for all kinds of stones and crystals . You can also make use of the visualization method to cleanse your crystals . Simply hold your crystals and visualize a bright white light taking away the bad vibrations from the crystals . Repeat this method until you ’ re happy with the energies of your crystals and you feel like the bad energies have been flushed away . Once your crystals have been cleansed , you will need to energize them again so that they keep radiating their powerful energies and vibrations . You can experiment with these different cleansing methods to find out which ones work best for you and your crystals . You may choose just one method or use a combination of different methods . Just make sure that you perform regular cleansing to keep your crystals beautiful , pure , and powerful ! Crystal Formations | Crystal by Condition or Use MORE Crystals & Stones Articles & How To ’ s Here Healing crystal meanings are meant as spiritual supports to healing and are not healthcare advice or prescriptions . Use the crystal meanings to help find your own inner truth ; what is best and right for one is not necessary so for another .

Red Meat and Health Lean red meats , including beef , pork and lamb , can play an important part in a healthy balanced diet as they have a high nutrient density . This means that they contain a wide variety of nutrients in a relatively small amount of food . Meat is a major source of protein . It also contributes minerals and trace elements to the diet , particularly zinc and iron . It is an important source of B vitamins , including B12 , which is not found naturally in foods of plant origin . PROTEIN Meat is a major source of protein which helps to improve satiety and fills you up for longer . This makes protein - rich foods excellent for helping to control our weight so that we do n ' t become overweight or obese . For up - to - date information on the protein content of red meat please click here IRON Iron is a vital mineral for red blood cell formation . A deficiency of iron in the diet is the most common dietary cause of anaemia . Certain groups of the population are at particular risk because of poor iron intakes . Currently a quarter of females aged 19 - 64 in the UK have iron intakes below the minimum amount to stay healthy . The type of iron found in red meat ( haem iron ) is more easily absorbed and used by the body than the iron in plant foods such as pulses , nuts , seeds and leafy green vegetables ( non - haem iron ) . For up - to - date information on the iron content of red meat please click here ZINC Zinc is important for the healthy functioning of the immune system , growth , wound healing and fertility . Red meat is a source of readily absorbable zinc . We get about 30 % of our dietary intake of zinc from red meat and meat products . For up - to - date information on the zinc content of red meat please click OTHER MINERALS Red meat also provides other minerals such as potassium and for pork , selenium . Selenium is an important antioxidant , which has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers . For up - to - date information on the mineral content of red meat please click VITAMINS Red meat is a source of a number of B vitamins : B3 , niacin , B6 and B12 - a vitamin which is not found naturally in foods of plant origin and is important for healthy red blood cells , growth and the production of energy . It has also recently been found to make an important contribution to vitamin D intakes . Vitamin D works with calcium and phosphorous to build strong bones and teeth . For up - to - date information on the B vitamin content of red meat please click FAT The fat content of red meat has been considerably reduced over the last few decades and the amount of fat in red meat is actually much lower than most people think . These reductions have been achieved by breeding techniques on the farm and new butchery techniques , which trim off most of the fat . Fully trimmed lean raw beef typically contains only 4.3 % fat , fully trimmed lean raw pork only 4 % fat and fully trimmed lean raw lamb only 8 % fat . This compares well with a food such as cheddar cheese which contains an average of 34 % fat . About half of the fat found in red meat is in the unsaturated form that is believed to be healthier . Surveys show that meat is a major contributor of mono - unsaturated fat in the diet . Choosing lean cuts of meat and trimming off any visible fat helps to reduce the saturated fat content further . For up - to - date information on the saturated fat content of red meat please click OMEGA - 3 FATS Red meat contains very small amounts of omega - 3 fats , which help to keep the heart healthy . With the exception of oil - rich fish , few foods contain good amounts of omega - 3s . This makes the small amounts in red meat an important source , especially for people who eat little or no oily fish . SALT Fresh red meat is naturally low in salt . Processed meat products , such as burgers , do have higher levels but are consumed on average just once a week * . * TNS Family Food Panel Annual Lifestyle Survey

How do radial engines work ? 4 Nothing much to give introduction on Radial engines except that they were widely used during World War II . More efficiency & power were the greatest needs of that time . Having many advantages over the rotary engines used in World War I , radial engines proved to be great for aircrafts . Radial engines : - Radial engines are Internal Combustion Engines same alike the piston - cylinder arrangement except one change – the piston in the cylinders radiate ( oscillate / reciprocate ) outward from the central crankcase ( like the rims of a tire ) . Radial engines are also called “ Star engines ” as they resemble the shape of a star when viewed from the front side . The radial configuration was very commonly used for aircraft engines before the gas turbine engines came into existence . History : - C . M . Manly constructed a water cooled 5 cylinder radial engine in 1901 – a conversion of rotary engine for an Aerodrome aircraft . The machine was unsuccessful , but the Manly - Balzer engine ( later in 1903 ) pointed the way to high power , low weight aircraft engines . Parts : - Piston – The piston is used to transfer the expanding force of gases to mechanical rotation of crankshaft via a connecting rod . The piston is able to do this because it is secured tightly within cylinder using piston rings to minimize the clearance between cylinder and piston ! Crankshaft – A crankshaft is a part which is able to convert the reciprocating motion to rotational motion . Connecting rod – A connecting rod transfers motion from a piston to crankshaft which acts as a lever arm . Inlet & Outlet valves – It allows to enter fresh air with fuel & to exit the spent air - fuel mixture from the cylinder . Articulating rod assembly – The assembly joins all the connecting rods of pistons with a single part as the cylinders are coplanar ( discussed later ) . Spark Plug – A spark plug delivers electric current to the combustion chamber which ignites the air - fuel mixture leading to abrupt expansion of gas . Working : - Animation of a radial engine consisting of 5 cylinders ! source : - wikipedia Radial engines work like any other 4 stroke engines . They both have similar parts but their construction & design are different . Each cylinder has an intake , compression , power & exhaust stroke . If you consider the above engine consisting 5 cylinders , numbering the top as 1 & going clockwise , then the firing order is 1 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 4 & again 1 ! Nothing complicated to understand , the firing order & opening / closing of valves are such adjusted that the ongoing power stroke directly helps compress the next cylinder to fire , making the motion more uniform . Why odd number of cylinders ? For smoother operation of the engine , consistent power should be produced . For producing consisting power , odd number of cylinders are used so that every other piston firing order can be achieved . If an even number of cylinders were used , an equally timed firing cycle would not be feasible . [ Source How do inlet & outlet valves open & close at that particular times of strokes ? Unlike the engines used in cars & bikes , the axes of the cylinders are coplanar , hence the typical camshaft can not be used for controlling the inlet & outlet valves nor the same crankshaft could be use to deliver the power . Instead the pistons are connected to the crankshaft with a master - and - articulating - rod assembly . I know it is quite difficult to imagine especially which we ’ ve never heard of , so I ’ ve included an animation The articulating rod assembly which controls the inlet & outlet valves by moving 2 rods . Radial engines generally use poppet valves which are overhead the cylinders . These valves are driven by the push rods - which are controlled by the cam plate which rotates in opposite direction than of the crankshaft . The cam is made to spin slow with the help of a geared mechanism . Advantages : - Smoother operations : - Radial engines are great at producing consistent power ( contribution of each piston ) as discussed earlier . This consistency helps the engine to run smoother . Tougher & easier maintainence : - All thanks to simple design which makes it less vulnerable to damage as well as it makes much more easier for maintenance workers during routine check - up . Cost : - Radial engines ’ parts , repair costs , & maintainence costs are inexpensive . A cheaper option is welcomed blindfoldedly in a expensive field of work . Disadvantages : - Drag : - As the cylinders are clearly exposed to the airflow during flight , drag increases considerably . Visiblity : - The pilot may experience visibility problems , due to huge single engines located near the nose of aircrafts . Installation : - It is more difficult to ensure adequate cooling air in a buried engine installation . Gas turbines OR popularly known as jet engines stole the market as they were much more powerful , efficient & light weight than radial engines . To know more about gas turbines / jet engines , read one of my previous articles in which I have explained in detail about working of jet engines I have also written a post on types of jet engines ( it ’ s pretty cool … you should give it a try Like this : Loading . . .

Reheat Rankine Cycle – Processes with h - s Diagram Engineering Thermodynamics Add comments R eheat Rankine Cycle is essentially a modification of simple rankine cycle . In reheat rankine cycle , the following improvements are made to increase the efficiency of rankine cycle . Lowering the condenser pressure Increasing the temperature of steam while entering the turbine Large variation in pressure between boiler and condenser Implementation of reheat and regenerative system in the cycle What is Reheat Rankine cycle ? In simple rankine cycle , after the isentropic expansion in turbine , steam is directly fed into condenser for condensation process . ( Refer this article for better understanding ) . But in reheat system , two turbines ( high pressure turbine and low pressure turbine ) are employed for improving efficiency . Steam , after expansion from high pressure turbine , is sent again to boiler and heated till it reaches superheated condition . It is then left to expand in low pressure turbine to attain condenser pressure . h - s diagram of Reheat Rankine Cycle : Reheat Rankine cycle can be understood well if you refer the following h - s diagram : Processes in Reheat Rankine Cycle : Six processes take place in reheat Rankine cycle . They are explained in detail below : Process : 1 - 2 ( high pressure turbine ) Here , dry saturated steam from the boiler is allowed to expand in a turbine isentropically i.e. , Entropy remains constant . Let h 1 be the enthalpy of steam entering the turbine Let h 2 be the enthalpy of steam leaving the turbine Finally , the workdone by turbine is given by W T = h 1 − h 2 Calculation of h and h 2 Using the pressure and temperature values at point 1 , values for entropy ( S ) and enthalpy ( h ) can be calculated from superheated steam table or from Mollier diagram for steam . After finding h and S , dryness fraction ( x ) can be calculated using the formula given below , Substitute the value of x in the following equation to find h Process : 2 - 3 ( boiler ) The expanded steam is made to attain the required temperature i.e. , reheated in low pressure boiler at constant pressure level . The enthalpy ( h 3 ) and entropy ( S 3 ) are calculated by the same method that we followed in process 1 to 2 . Process : 3 - 4 ( Low pressure Turbine ) After attaining required temperature , steam is passed into low pressure turbine to carry out the remaining expansion . The enthalpy ( h 4 ) and entropy ( S 4 ) values are calculated by the same method that we followed in process 1 to 2 . Process : 4 - 5 ( condenser ) After expansion in turbine , steam is passed into condenser to preform condensation process . Here the remaining heat in the steam is rejected into atmosphere . be the enthalpy of steam entering the condenser . 5 be the enthalpy of water leaving the condenser . Heat rejected from condenser is given by Q R = h − h 5 J or Q = h − h f4 J f4 = h ( Since , the output from condenser is a fluid and graphically , the enthalpy at point 4 and point 5 are same . ) Process : 5 - 6 ( Pump ) Water from the condenser is pumped into the boiler using an external pump . During this process , pressure increases P 5 to P 6 isentropically ( The enthalpy and temperature of water also increase due to pump work ) . Let P , h be the pressure and enthalpy at stage 5 respectively . Let P 6 , h be the pressure and enthalpy at stage 6 respectively . The work done by pump is given by W p = h – h = V f5 ( P – P ) × 100 J Note : All the values of pressure here are substituted in N / m² and all values of enthalpy are substituted in Joules . Process : 6 - 1 ( boiler ) Here the saturated water from the pump is heated by using a constant heat source ( such as furnace ) . The input saturated water is heated till it reaches super - heated condition . Temperature and enthalpy of saturated water raise to a great extent , but its pressure remains constant . The change of phase from liquid to vapour occurs in boiler . be the enthalpy of saturated water entering the boiler . be the enthalpy of super - heated steam coming out of boiler . Heat supplied is given by Q = h − h J can be calculated by means of pump workdone formula . + W p All processes can be understood well if you refer the h - s diagram above Efficiency of Reheat Rankine Cycle : As we know , efficiency is the ratio between output and input . Here , the output is workdone and input is heat energy . Net workdone = workdone in turbine ( both H.P. turbine and L.P. turbine ) + workdone in pump . Net heat transfer = heat supplied in boiler + heat rejected in condenser . Efficiency of reheat Rankine cycle is given by : It is 30 to 40 % greater than simple Rankine cycle .

Introduction 1998 Census data , recently released by the Department of Veterans ’ Affairs ( VA ) , suggests that state drug assistance programs may be bearing some medical costs for patients actually eligible for free or low - fee VA medical care . State programs have long been rightfully viewed as last resorts . Those eligible for medical care and drugs from other programs should use that coverage before turning to the state . Thus , medical care coverage available from the VA should — unless there are exceptional circumstances — be turned to before limited state monies are spent . But virtually all members of the public , many state officials and even most veterans themselves wrongly assume that one must be a combat or wartime veteran or have been injured or become sick on active duty to get VA medical care . As a result , some states do n ’ t bother to screen at all for VA medical care eligibility . Or , just as worse , they ask veterans themselves whether they ’ re eligible for VA medical care . And — not surprisingly , since even veterans themselves do n ’ t know the correct eligibility rules — few applicants indicate that they ’ re VA - eligible ! To be eligible for VA medical care , a veteran must have served at least 180 days active duty and have an honorable or general discharge . Those with service - connected disabilities , former prisoners of war and any veteran whose served in a combat zone within the last two years are guaranteed high - priority , copayment - free care . However , veterans who first enlisted after September 7 , 1980 , must also have served at least two years ; see the note below for details about , and exceptions to , that rule . * But , in general , veterans do not need to have served in combat or in wartime ; have been injured or become ill while on duty ; be disabled ; or even have been overseas . VA Health Care Priority Groups , Service - Connected Veterans and Co - Payment Rules Except for genuine emergencies , the VA prioritizes access , waiting times and availability of medical services for elective and other non - emergency care , using eight priority groups : 50 % or more service - connected disabled veterans 30 % and 40 % service - connected disabled veterans 10 % and 20 % service - connected disabled veterans ; former prisoners of war ; Purple Heart recipients Veterans found by the VA to be “ catastrophically disabled ” , even from a non - service - connected cause ( see below ) or who get pension or compensation add - ons for Aid and Attendance or as Housebound ; those who served in combat zones within last 2 years Non - service - connected veterans considered “ poor ” under VA income / asset rules ( see below ) Vietnam War ( 1962 - 75 ) Agent Orange victims ; First Gulf War ( 1990 - 91 ) and Iraq War ( 1998 - ) veterans with Gulf War Syndrome ; World War I ( 1917 - 21 ) and Mexican Border War ( 1916 - 17 ) veterans Non - service - connected veterans considered “ near poor ” under VA income / asset rules ( see below ) Non - service - connected veterans not considered poor under VA income / asset rules ( see below ; new enrollments in this category were suspended as of 1 / 03 ) Service - connected veterans always get free care , without even the $ 7 prescription copayment , for their s ervice - connected conditions - - - no matter how high their income or assets . If they have private health insurance it is never billed for treatment of service - connected conditions . But service - connected and other Priority 1 through 4 veterans must pay the copayments of the Priority 5 , 7 or 8 Groups that their incomes and assets would ordinarily place them in for treatment of non - service - connected conditions - - - - e xcept for those rated 30 % or more service - connected disabled , who are exempted from paying the ( Priority Group 5 , 7 or 8 ) non - prescription copayments even for - service connected conditions ’ care that their incomes and assets would otherwise require of them . In other words , a service - connected veteran , no matter how high his income or assets , is exempted even from paying the applicable income / asset - based Priority 5 , 7 or 8 copayments ( except for prescription copayments ) that he “ deserves ” , for care of a - service - connected condition , if he ’ s rated 30 % or more service - connected disabled In effect , then , service - connected and other Priority 1 through 4 veterans - - - especially those rated 30 % or below - - - need to have their income and assets evaluated in order to be assigned the applicable Priority Group 5 , 7 or 8 copayment schedule ( plus , if they ’ re very poor , the extra prescription copayment exemptions mentioned below ) for treatment of non service - connected conditions . Debts owed the VA for any copayments can be waived on grounds of “ equity and good conscience ” by hospital fiscal officers ( see amendment to 38CFR17 . 05 in the April 20 , 2004 Federal Register ) . 2004 VA Medical Care Income / Asset Eligibility Levels and Copayments for Poor Priority 5 Veterans To get free care ( except for a $ 7 copayment per prescription ) , a “ Priority Group 5 ” veteran can have up to $ 80,000 in assets , not counting household goods , a lived - in home of any value and one vehicle of any value . In addition , monthly income ca n ’ t exceed the following : Single veteran … … . . … … … … … … . . . $ 2 , 096.83 Veteran with one dependent … … . . … $ 419.58 more For each additional dependent … . … $ 140.67 more However , if the “ Priority Group 5 ” veteran does have some private health insurance the VA will bill and collect what it can from the private insurance . It will then give the veteran “ credit ” towards whatever prescription copayments he owes for the insurance money it collects . ( In 2004 , the first $ 7950 yearly in wages actually earned by a child under age 18 are not counted . Actually received child support and spouses ’ incomes are fully counted , though . ) 2004 Income & Asset Levels and Copayments For Wealthier , “ Priority 7 ” Veterans To get very heavily discounted care , veterans can have even more than $ 2096.83 in monthly income ( up to about $ 28,000 to $ 35,000 , depending on where they live ) or $ 80,000 in assets , not counting household goods , a lived - in home of any value and one vehicle of any value . . They ’ d still qualify as “ Priority Group 7 ” veterans and get care when space is available ( it usually is , except in the most overcrowded hospitals ) . They must pay the following small copayments for care in 2004 $ 7 per prescription $ 15 to $ 50 per doctor , clinic or emergency room visit $ 2 per day for each inpatient hospitalization $ 175.20 more for the first inpatient hospitalization per year $ 87.60 more for subsequent hospitalizations per year However , if the “ Priority Group 7 ” veteran does have some private health insurance the VA will bill and collect what it can from the private insurance . It will then give the veteran “ credit ” towards whatever copayments he owes for the insurance money it collects . 2004 Income and Asset Levels with Even Bigger Copays for Still Wealthie r Priority Group 8 Veterans On October 1 , 2002 , the VA created a new Priority Group 8 for health care eligibility to implement the VA Health Care Programs Enhancement Act , which was enacted in January , 2002 . Priority 8 patients are those non - service - connected veterans with assets over the levels allowed for Priority 7 or income over the levels used by HUD as the upper limits for housing assistance eligibility . The HUD levels vary state - by - state , and by Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas ( SMSAs ) within states , depending upon regional costs - of - living ( for one person , they generally range from about $ 28,000 yearly to about $ 35,000 ) . See the sidebar below to calculate local area Priority 8 income levels . The family - sized upper income limit for housing assistance in a locality is now the maximum Priority 7 income allowed for Priority 7 . Non - service - connected veterans ’ with income ABOVE this income level are now in Priority Group 8 ! ( One can call 1 - 800 - 245 - 2691 and at least attempt to get the low - paid , clerical - level contractor telephone bank employees answering to provide locality - specific and family - sized ] upper income limits for federal housing assistance . ) Priority 8 patients must pay the copayments of $ 7 per prescription , $ 15 to $ 50 per outpatient encounter , $ 876 plus $ 10 per night for the first inpatient hospital stay in a year and $ 438 plus $ 10 per night for most subsequent hospitalizations in a year However , if the “ Priority Group 8 ” veteran does have some private health insurance the VA will bill and collect what it can from the private insurance . It will then give the veteran “ credit ” towards whatever copayments he owes for the insurance money it collects . Moreover , on January 17 , 2003 , the VA published Interim Final Regulations in the Federal Register ( Vol . 68 , No . 12 , pp . 2669 - 2673 ) immediately suspending further enrollment of Priority 8 veterans . But those veterans now classified as Priority 8 who are already enrolled - - - plus those already who originally qualified as Priority Group 5 or 7 but whose income or assets only later rise into the Priority Group 8 range - - - are " grandfathered - in " . VA Medical Care Eligibility and Enrollment Procedures Veterans typically begin the enrollment process with interviews at VA medical facilities , bringing discharge papers ( DD214s ) , documentation of any private health insurance and , for those of limited income seeking Priority Group 5 or 7 care , proof of dependents , income and “ net worth ” ( assets ) . Enrollment is completed once veterans are assigned to a Primary Care Team ( often denoted by colors : “ red ’ , “ green ” , etc . ) and are scheduled for Team intake examinations - - - after which referral to specific departments and clinics for ongoing care is arranged . But , anytime , those presenting themselves at the emergency room for genuine emergencies - - - even hose who have n ’ t yet completed the regular enrollment process ! - - - are seen with the same medical triaging , waiting , processing , physician treatment and necessary prescription issuances as are used at any hospital emergency room . Assume a veteran moves from one area of the country to another - - - and , in particular , if he or she ( perhaps only nominally and temporarily ) moves from one area to another to avoid long queues in his own home area ( for example , to take advantage of shorter waits for the initial intake examination and primary care team assignment in a less - crowded area ) for Priority 5 or 7 non - service - connected veterans ' health care . Does the move to the new area mean that he or she still again go through a long wait for his initial intake examination and assignment to a " primary care team " ? No . When an already - enrolled , already - examination - intaked Priority 5 or 7 non - service - connected veteran moves to a new area , he or she need only appear at the nearest VA hospital or clinic for care or the routine scheduling of care , without the need to wait for a new intake examination . Showing his VA ID card ( issued at first enrollment ) and mentioning his Social Security number calls up his record on the VA ' s nationwide computer . In such cases , the veteran would , of course , be assigned by clerical intake staff to a " new " primary care team at the new hospital or clinic ( a necessity , of course , because of the move ! ) . There would then be only the same waits for primary care appointments or specialty care referrals as are faced any other local , already - enrolled least busy VA hospitals and clinics . ) In recent years , more and more older World War II , Korea , Vietnam and Cold War veterans who do n ’ t have prescription coverage have learned that they can get prescriptions from the VA and have begun crowding into VA hospitals . Since 1996 , VA patient enrollment has grown from 2 million to 6 million . In some areas with many retirees - - - parts of Florida and North Carolina , for example - - - this has caused delays of many weeks , or even months , in scheduling newly - enrolling veterans for But again , even those who are still awaiting intake examinations can present themselves anytime at VA hospitals for necessary , emergent treatment ( including necessary prescription issuance ) . By late 2002 , over 260,000 veterans were awaiting intake . To cope with this , in September , 2002 , the VA issued interim final regulations to give first priority in scheduling these intake examinations to those veterans who have service - connected , VA - recognized disabilities ; others , including those whose disabilities are - service - connected ( e.g. , only recognized by Social Security ) , have second priority in scheduling intake examinations . Nevertheless , Congress has appropriated massive increases in recent years for the VA health budget and will continue to do so to handle the crowding . Higher VA health budgets are popular with Congress : Conservatives favor it as a sort of military expense ; while liberals know that the VA cares for the poor , the disabled and the elderly . Upgrading Bad Conduct , Dishonorable , Less - Than - Honorable and Undesirable Discharges ; Having Discharge Reclassified To Being For Disability or Hardship Bad conduct , dishonorable , less - than - honorable or undesirable military discharges - - - and often unexplained , early discharges that need to be rewritten to reflect that they were actually for hardship or disability reasons - - - which now prevent eligibility for VA medical care , pensions , compensation and other benefits can be changed by applying to appropriate military discharge review boards .

What About Those Veterans Who Seek Only VA Prescription Drugs But Want To Retain Their Own Civilian Doctors ? Some veterans may argue that enrolling in VA medical care ( for example , to get expensive prescription drugs costs from the VA rather than the state ) might require their giving up their own civilian doctors ( whom they see through Medicare or as patients in various low income clinic programs ) . Actually , this is n ’ t so . There ’ s no rule to deny VA eligibles the right to also see civilian doctors - - - and , in fact , a surprising number do so . As mentioned in the previous paragraphs , VA facilities are now crowded precisely because many older veterans use their Medicare to see civilian doctors but subsequently use their VA eligibility to ( redundantly ) then see VA doctors to have the prescriptions they need ordered and written on VA prescription forms - - - which they then fill at the VA at $ 7 each ! The VA ’ s rules still require that its prescription drugs can only be issued when the prescriptions are written by VA doctors for patients they actually see . So , to get VA - covered drugs , many , many older patients go through the motions of seeing a VA doctor to get him to write the same prescriptions their civilian doctors ordered - - - - but now on VA prescription forms . VA doctors know this and are quite used to it - - - they quickly assess the patient ’ s state of health and what Of course , even abbreviated , “ pro forma ” VA patient visits like these are wasteful of VA resources ( and the time of patients , who resent having to be seen by a second doctor just to get VA drugs ) . But under current rules , the VA requires that its own doctors be responsible for decisions to issue prescriptions . Some veterans , members of the public , Congressmen and the General Accounting Office have called for considering abandoning the “ see a VA doctor first ” prescription rule and the VA has begun to study doing so . The VA will allow some eligible veterans with already - issued prescriptions from private , non - VA doctors - - - those who ' ve signed up for VA care but still awaiting their post - enrollment " intake " exams for at least 30 days as of 7 / 25 / 03 - - - to fill them via its mail - order system to ease the current backlog of veterans waiting to be in - processed to the VA system . Only those privately - prescribed drugs that are otherwise VA - covered , that are non - narcotic , that do n ' t have to be injected and that can be mailed out can be offered by this temporary stop - gap for those veterans queued - up in the backlog as of July 25 , 2003 . But those who only become " backlogged " in the future are n ' t eligible for this temporary , stopgap coverage unless VA rules are again changed . The VA still maintains its requirement that , in general , VA - issued drugs can only be written by VA physicians for those veterans they actually see after full intake . Nevertheless , the GAO , many Members of Congress and some veterans ' organizations still want regular , ongoing access to VA - issued drugs for those who remain in treatment with private doctors - - - and the VA has said it is still considering such a permanent change in policy . A press release on the temporary new policy is at http : / / www . va . gov / opa / pressrel / PressArtInternet . cfm ? id = 639 The text of the temporary interim is printed in the 7 / 25 / 03 Federal Register at http : / / a257 . g . akamaitech . net / 7 / 257 / 2422 / 14mar20010800 / edocket . access . gpo . gov / 2003 / 03 - 19011 . htm More On VA Prescriptions VA prescriptions are issued by the prescribing doctor on a VA prescription form , where he usually indicates how many refills are to be allowed . Patients then drop them off at in - house VA pharmacies - - - where , typically , dozens of patients are waiting at any given time . With often - long waits that usually exceed those at commercial pharmacies , patients are given their prescriptions after they pay their $ 7 co - payments . Those non - service - connected veterans claiming exemption from co - payments because they ca n ’ more of processing ( and only then if the finance and pharmacy offices are open for such business ) . Service - connected veterans are not charged co - payments for care related to their disabilities . And , yes , in practice the difficulties VA staff face in distinguishing , Solomon - like , between care for service - connected conditions and other conditions can , and often does , result in some service - connected veterans getting co - payment exemptions for care for their - service - connected conditions . Patients can - - - and , where it ’ s medically possible , many do - - - choose not to wait on - site for prescriptions to be filled : They can instead opt for mail delivery service to their homes . Yet this can , and often does , take a week or more ; shipments are often late or lost in the mail ; and medications that are narcotics or are heat - or refrigeration - sensitive ca n ’ t be mailed in any case . On the other hand , patients choosing mail service can thereby avoid having to make on - the - spot cash co - payments at the VA pharmacy window . The VA is not subject to applicable state medication prescribing laws . Hence , patients generally must accept what the VA physician orders ; for example , they ca n ’ t ( without convincing the prescribing doctor ) ask for a generic or invoke other substitution options that might be available under state law at commercial pharmacies . On the other hand , the VA permits registered nurses and physician assistants to prescribe in many cases - - - even where state law would n ’ t permit this . Moreover , the VA can , and often does , allow prescriptions to be refilled more times than is allowed at ” civilian ” pharmacies . Patents can request this when first given prescriptions and as they drop them off at the VA ’ s on - site pharmacies . Refills can be scheduled / diaried for “ automatic ” mail refill or can be specifically re - ordered via telephoned - in computerized systems . Those who do n ’ t wish to wait at the VA for their prescriptions - - - if they ’ re willing and physician at commercial pharmacies . An important advantage of the VA system is that it issues “ prescriptions ” ( and at the often - attractive bargain price ” of only $ 7 ! ) for a wide variety of ” over - the - counter ” items - - - bandages , dressings braces , lotions , salves , cough medicines , digestive remedies , patent medicines , crutches , canes , walkers , adult diapers and many other first aid supplies - - - that are n ’ t legally considered “ prescriptions ” and that civilians simply pay cash for . Thus Suspending All Prescription Co - pays for the Very Neediest Veterans Priority Group 2 through 6 veterans ’ prescription co - payments can be suspended for the rest of the year once they incur $ 840 of such charges in any given year — as is also true for any applicable prescription copayments that might otherwise be required of 40 % - or - less service - connected disabled veterans or for treatment of a service - connected disabled veteran ’ s non - service - connected condition . In addition , all veterans with incomes under the applicable basic pension level ( in 2004 , $ 824.50 monthly for a single veteran , plus $ 255.42 for one dependent and $ 140.67 for each additional dependent ) are exempt from any prescription copayments . When first enrolling for VA care , those under this income level should be sure to insist that their enrollment file specify that they ’ re copayment - exempt and those who originally enrolled at higher income levels - - - but whose income later falls to within the exemption low income range - - - should re - visit the VA hospital or clinic ’ s enrollment / eligibility office with revised , current proofs of income to request that their records be corrected to exempt them from drug copayments . Debts owed the VA for any copayments can be waived on grounds of “ equity and good conscience ” by hospital fiscal officers ( see amendment to 38CFR17 . 05 in the April 20 , 2004 Federal Register ) . In early February , 2004 , VA Secretary Principi asked Congress for authority to raise the prescription copayment exemption income level by an amount equal to the pension Aid and Attendance payment ( $ 551.25 more monthly in 2004 ; knowledgeable observers consider this the only eligibility - or copayment - related Administration proposal likely to pass Congress ( the Bush Administration also proposed raising drug copayments for Priority Groups 5 , 7 and 8 , and for treatment of - service - connected conditions of service - connected disabled veterans , from $ 7 to $ 15 and imposing a yearly “ enrollment fee ” of $ 250 on Priority 7 and 8 veterans ; these plans are opposed by the powerful national veterans groups and by both chairmen and ranking members of Congressional veterans ’ committees ) . Special Rules For VA - Paid Care from Non - VA Medical Providers Note that ( except for rare , arranged - in - advance purchases of specialty care at non - VA hospitals ) the VA does not pay for care at non - VA facilities , with three exceptions : First , with advance permission , some veterans — usually , only those who get service - connected compensation benefits ( see below ) - - can be treated by non - VA medical staff or facilities in Colorado , Wyoming , Utah , Montana , Idaho and parts of central Florida under special , limited pilot programs . Second s ervice - connected compensationers - - but not other veterans — can with advance permission be treated by approved foreign medical providers and , on a space - available basis , at foreign US military medical facilities , for emergencies when overseas . Contact the Medical Administration Service ( 136 ) , Foreign and Insular Affairs Unit , VA Medical Center , 50 Irving Street , NW , Washington , DC 20422 , telephone ( 202 ) 745 - 8242 . There are numerous authorization and billing forms which are required . Request a copy of the pamphlet “ Department of Veterans Affairs Foreign Medical Services Program ” other veterans with VA patient identity cards have secured emergency care at those facilities . This is because clerks there understandably have trouble mastering the VA ’ s complex rules . Hence , they often fail to distinguish between the classes of eligible and ineligible VA patient identity cardholders . Third otherwise eligible veterans - - - - only if they have already enrolled for VA health benefits and have actually received some VA treatment - - - - can receive emergency care paid for by the VA at a non - VA hospital in the US when 1 ) such a hospital is nearer than a VA one and 2 ) delaying care to reach a more distant VA facility ( under a “ prudent person ” standard ) would seriously endanger life or health . Ambulance and related emergency in - hospital medical services which seem necessary ( also under a “ prudent layperson ” standard ) can be covered too In cases of inpatient admission , the veteran , his family , legal representative or the non - VA facility must get authorization from the veteran ’ s regular VA clinical staff within 48 hours . That VA staff also decides when the patient is medically ready to transfer to a VA facility - - - after which VA liability for payment for care at a non - VA facility ends . 2004 Priority Group 5 Copays ; Copay Credit for Private Insurance Payments In 2004 , single veterans with annual incomes below $ 2,096.83 monthly - - - - known as Priority Group 5 - - - - are eligible for free care ( except for a $ 7 co - payment per prescription ) , after those with service - connected disabilities , former prisoners of war and certain other priority classes are served . ( $ 419.58 monthly is allowed for one dependent , and $ 140.67 for additional ones ; here , too , the first $ 7950 of a child ’ s earnings is not counted . ) Allowable assets per family include household goods , a lived - in home of any value , one vehicle of any value , and $ 80,000 in “ net worth ” ( automobiles , bank accounts , other property , investments , etc . ) . If a Priority 5 , 7 or 8 veteran has private health insurance , the VA will bill the plan for what it can , but it will not bill the veteran if he or she has income below this level , except for the $ 7 prescription Eyeglasses , Hearing Aids & Related Exams ; Dental Care ; Home Health Care The VA not only covers eye examinations and audiology tests and writes eyeglass and hearing aid prescriptions for all its eligible patients . In many cases it also covers eyeglasses and hearing aids - - - even for some non - service - connected Priority 5 and 7 patients . Veterans ' Health Administration Directive 2002 - 039 of July 5 , 2002 [ paragraph 4 . a . ( 1 ) ] authorizes eyeglasses and hearing aids for : those getting service - connected compensation for any reason or at percentage ; former prisoners of war ; those getting Housebound or Aid and Attendance increments to needs - based disability pensions ; those needing eyeglasses or hearing aids due to any other ( even non - service - connected ) medical cause ; and those with other functional or cognitive impairment - - as shown by ADL deficiency ( ies ) - - who need eyeglasses or hearing aids to participate in their own care . Replacements are allowed in cases of loss and breakage and for new or changed prescriptions . Hearing aids , without a prescription change or loss , must last 4 years . Issuance of spares is determined by the audiologist or eye care specialist . It should be noted , however , that the VA website www . VA . gov ( accessed 1 / 9 / 04 ) now states that hearing aid and eyeglasses are only available to service - connected disabled veterans , former prisoners of war and other special categories of veterans . Dental services ordinarily are offered only to 100 % disabled , service - connected veterans and those held as prisoners of war for at least 90 days ; but other , non - service - connected veterans may apply , within 6 months of discharge , to get dental treatment that was n ’ t completed while on active duty . Often , the VA then authorizes care with selected private dentists . Those not eligible for VA eyeglass , hearing aid or dental care might contact the Seniors ’ Eyecare Program www . eyecareamerica . org ( 800 - 222 - 3937 ) if they ’ re limited - income citizens or legal aliens over 65 ; it offers some limited eye care - - - although not eyeglasses or eyeglass prescriptions .

ADA . org A 2003 GAO study found that nearly one - third of VA medical centers failed to provide home health services and that some improperly denied this care to otherwise eligible non - service - connected veterans ; in response , the VA promised to begin making home health care more widely and equally available ( for details , see http : / / www . gao . gov / cgi - bin / getrpt ? GAO - 03 - 487 ) . Arranging / Subsidizing Transportation To Distant VA Hospitals & Clinics In metropolitan areas with good , economical public transit , getting to VA medical care via buses or subways costs relatively little and is reasonably available . But many patients living in rural or far - out suburban areas lack a family automobile , have little or no income to pay for their gas or reimburse others for rides or live in areas that are n ’ t served by reliable or frequent - enough public transit or even long distance bus service ( e . g . Greyhound ) . Disabled American Veterans a nationwide non - profit organization provides daily , free door - to - door van transport service to disabled and indigent veterans who otherwise ca n ’ t get to VA medical appointments . On its website , the key terms “ transportation network ” , “ hospital coordinator ” and “ volunteer services ” refers one to a hospital - by - hospital listing of , and telephone numbers for , those DAV workers who supervise the van transport system serving that hospital . They can provide details about local van service , scheduling , reservations and priorities www . DAV . org Case Management and Patient Advocacy for VA Patients Because the VA is a classical large , often - impersonal bureaucracy , patients ’ needs can sometimes be overlooked or forgotten : Mail - ordered prescriptions may not come on time or at all ; mail - order and other prescriptions may expire , with their expiration perhaps being overlooked by busy physicians ; and vulnerable , less self - proactive patients may not get the detailed case management and treatment / drug regimen training that they need . While the VA benefits system does offer an appeals and hearings for those who are aggrieved , it is attuned almost exclusively to the needs of those seeking money Pension and Compensation payments rather than timely , quality medical care and related supportive services . Veterans have one year after the denial of a benefit , or being given a substandard service , to appeal in writing to their servicing VA Regional Office , using VA forms available at www . VA . gov or even by simply writing a letter . The appeals system is clogged with hundreds of thousands of overdue appeals , and getting decisions often takes two or more years . Hence , it is not timely enough to be useful for medical care complaints . More vulnerable veterans — those who are frail , are intellectually - challenged , have limited education , are confused or intimidated by the massive , complex VA system or otherwise need detailed case management , guidance and assistance with appointment schedules , treatment orders or drug therapy regimens - - - can seek help from , or be referred to : the “ service representatives ” ( middle - aged and older veteran volunteers from groups like the American Legion , the Veterans of Foreign Wars , etc . , who work from offices in VA hospitals — although all VA patients , including even those treated by out patient clinical departments ) . The VA medical care system , at least theoretically , requires one to secure unscheduled or between - appointments medical care through the Emergency Room . But that can take many hours ’ wait , and then only to be seen by a generalist physician unfamiliar with the patients ’ individual care . He can ( at most ) offer temporary care solutions and impermanent , stopgap prescriptions for expired , lost - in - the - mail or about - to - expire medications . Some more proactive patients successfully deal with this inevitable eventuality by chatting up acquaintance Techniques For States To Promote VA Care as a Prior , Alternate Resource To get the most out of VA medical care as an alternative , states might consider altering application forms to ask not just whether an applicant is eligible for VA medical care : after all , most veterans wrongly think they ’ re NOT eligible ! Instead , application forms could ask about the key , underlying eligibility factors : “ Did you serve on active duty for over 180 days , or over two years , with the Army , Navy , Air Force , Marines , Coast Guard or , if you were activated in the National Guard or Reserves , for the full activation tour of duty ? ” “ Did you receive an Honorable or General discharge ? ” “ Please attach a copy of your DD214 ( discharge papers ) . ” State officials should also know that the state ’ s Medicaid eligibility electronic enrollment file staff ( with whom they ’ ve likely already worked ) can advise them about access to and use of federally - provided electronic data bases which might possibly check for veterans ’ status and other key income and eligibility data matches . VA medical care is often unfairly looked down upon because so many of its patients are poor , minority and working class men . As a result , some veterans who are state clients may be reluctant to use ( or even reveal ) their VA medical care entitlement — preferring , instead , to receive their expensive care at state expense . But unless state eligibility procedures guard against this , expensive medical care ( which the VA is responsible for ) will be shifted unfairly to the state budget . This could limit access , drug formularies , or both in state programs . To implement a VA eligibility - screening program , states might wish to consider other , supplementary policies as well : · Using state funds to pay copayments of those of the “ Priority Group 7 ” veterans ( the “ over - income ” ones ) who can not afford them . ( But states should note that the VA does not require the veteran to front cash for care ; it will bill later . ) Using state funds to pay the $ 7 per prescription copayments due from the “ Priority Group 5 ” ( lower income ) patients . Installing procedures to continue to provide care to those “ Priority Group 7 ” patients whom the VA turns away or care when space is available . ( But even here , states might wish to refer patients to at area VA facilities to see if they have space available , before granting unfettered access to state benefits . ) Prohibiting use of state funds to pay for any prescription written on a VA prescription form . ( This would prevent VA patients wishing to avoid their $ 7 VA copayments from using their state coverage to secure lower copayment prescriptions — which , of course , results in shifting heavy expenses from the VA to the state . . But here , too , individual override procedures need to be developed for when a particular drug happens to be out of stock at a VA hospital . ) Using state funds for ambulance , taxi , bus or car mileage payments for transportation to distant VA hospitals | for care for those who can not afford the travel . · Exemption procedures need to be developed for patients who live so far away from VA facilities that only state coverage would be cost effective or humane . Screening / Referring For VA Medical Care Brings Veterans Total Medical Coverage ( Not Just Drugs ) and Helps Them Access Other VA Benefits Too States can somewhat sugarcoat the imposition of these strict referral rules by bearing in mind and pointing out to veterans that the VA offers them not just prescription drugs but also comprehensive , total medical care - - - including physician , care , specialists ’ care , hospital services , laboratory services and sometimes even eyeglasses , hearing aids and dental care . In addition , by screening for VA medical eligibility , states can also serve veterans by at least preliminarily screening them for the VA ’ s disabled wartime veteran ’ s “ pension ” . This welfare program pays up to the monthly amounts shown below . It is available to fully disabled veterans — whether or not their disability arose from their time in service , and whether or not they actually served in a war zone or overseas , unless their service fell wholly within these dates : January 1 , 1946 - June 27 , 1950 ; February 1 , 1955 - August 4 , 1964 ; and May 8 , 1975 - September 1 , 1990 . * For a pension , family assets can include up to $ 30,000 , not counting household goods , a lived - in home of any value and one vehicle of any value . 2004 monthly payment rates for VA pensions are $ 824.50 for a single veteran ; $ 255.42 more with one dependent ; and $ 140.67 more for each additional dependent , after deducting other family income like Social Security , wages or pensions . ( Thus , as with all welfare programs , other , non - welfare income reduces the VA pension dollar - for - dollar ; where total family income exceeds the pension level , the family is n ’ t eligible at all for this program , while checking for VA medical care coverage , will enable states to ensure that eligible clients get the income they need . Death and Burial Benefits The VA provides free burials and gravesites to any honorably - or generally - discharged active duty veteran , | veteran ’ s spouse or widow ( er ) or minor child at several dozen national cemeteries across the country and at dozens of state veterans ’ cemeteries . Burials are done on a space - available basis ; gravesites are no longer available at Arlington National Cemetery , except for high officials , highly decorated veterans and certain other notables ) and in much of California . However , niches for cremated remains are available everywhere . Free VA markers and ( if permitted in that cemetery ) full - size headstones for veterans are provided , and these can include not only the name and life dates , but also certain military decorations . The VA pays for transportation to a gravesite of the remains only if the veteran died in a VA hospital . The VA pays about $ 100 toward non - government headstones and up to about $ 150 for plots in private cemeteries , but only for service - connected disability compensation recipients , “ wartime ” veterans or any other veteran otherwise entitled to a burial allowance . It pays about $ 300 for burial to survivors of disability payment recipients or survivors of veteran dying in a VA hospital . The VA also drapes a deceased veteran ’ s casket with an American flag ( which is then presented to the next of kin ) and arranges for a military honor guard and the blowing of Taps at graveside . In the early 1990s , the manpower - short military services and the VA tried to reduce the size of honor guard contingents , substitute honor guards from Reservist or even ROTC units and use tape - cassette Taps recordings rather than live buglers . An outcry by veterans groups and members of Congress stamped out most of these “ economies ” . But they could return at future times when military commitments reduce available manpower - - - as was demonstrated when the Army shipped the whole Arlington Cemetery ceremonial burial unit ( well known for its horses , caissons , buglers , dress uniforms and gun salutes ) to the Gulf as reinforcements in late 2003 . The VA arranges for a letter signed by the President thanking the deceased veteran ’ s next of kin for his or her service to the nation . In addition to military life insurance , all military branches pay “ death gratuities ” of $ 12,000 , all tax - free to survivors of those dying while on active duty . Such death - while - on - active - duty survivors also get up to 6 months of the service member ’ s housing allowances after the death , full coverage of burial costs , an income tax reduction for at least one year , tax breaks on survivors ’ post - death home sales and child care , some military “ space - available ” travel and premium - free Tricare health coverage of survivors for 3 years ( after which they can get premium free , lifetime CHAMPVA health coverage ) , plus any applicable VA and state veteran survivor benefits .

Additional State Benefits For Veterans , Dependents & Survivors Surprisingly , almost all states not only have offices that provide free advocacy for federal VA benefits to their residents ; all of them also provide their own , separate state veterans ’ benefits as well ! These vary enormously from state to state - - - often depending upon whether a veteran is service - connected disabled , the percentage of the disability , wartime or combat service , or whether a veteran suffers from , or dies of , war - , combat - , or service - connected causes , or was decorated . They can include : free or reduced fee fishing , hunting , drivers ’ or professional licenses ; free , reduced fee and / or specially - marked auto license plates ; free cemetery interment or burial allowances ; exemption or reductions in state income taxes or even local real estate or personal property taxes ; free or reduced tuition in state colleges and vocational training courses ; other loans , grants or scholarships for veterans , children and spouses of disabled or deceased veterans ; rights to reside for free or at low rates in state veterans ’ group To find out which states offer which of this wide range of benefits ( and , of course , most states do n ’ t offer anything like all of them ) contact staff at state veterans ’ agencies , which are listed at www .

One of the following permanent conditions : Dependent in three or more Activities of Daily Living ( ADL ) i.e. , eating , dressing , bathing toileting , transferring , incontinence of bowel and / or bladder , with at least three of the dependencies being permanent with a score of 1 , using the Katz scale NOTE : The Katz Index of ADL assigns a maximum of 18 points across all six ADLs . The most dependent rating on each ADL is a 1 , and an intermediate functional limitation is a rating of 2 , with independence rated as 3 . To be catastrophically disabled , the veteran must have a rating of 1 on a minimum of three permanent ADLs . For example , a veteran dependent in all ADLs would have a total Katz score of 6 . Similarly , a veteran dependent in three ADLs and needing less assistance in three other ADLs would score 9 A score of 10 or lower using the Folstein Mini - Mental State Examination ( MMSE ) NOTE : The MMSE has a maximum assignment of 30 points across eleven measures . A score of less than 10 is consistent with severe cognitive impairment . To qualify for catastrophically disabled status , there must be documentation in addition to the MMSE score of 10 or lower , showing that the patient has a permanent cognitive impairment . To show that the impairment is permanent , the reversible causes of cognitive impairment should be ruled out . A common example is a delirious patient who may score very badly on the MMSE , but improve once the source of delirium is treated . It is also important for evaluators to remember that a low MMSE score by itself is not diagnostic ( i.e. , it is dementia ) , but it is an indication of cognitive impairment that warrants further evaluation . A score of 2 or lower on at least four of the thirteen motor items using the Functional Independence Measure ( FIM ) NOTE : The FIM contains eighteen measures in six domains . The thirteen motor items are in four domains : self - care ; sphincter control ; transfers ; and locomotion . The scores across all these domains range from needing a helper because of complete dependence ( score of 1 for total assistance and a score of 2 for maximal assistance ) , with intermediate scores 3 through 5 for modified independence , to scores 6 or 7 when no helper is needed . To be catastrophically disabled , the veteran must have a score of 2 or lower on at least four permanent conditions of the thirteen motor items using the FIM . A score of 30 or lower using the Global Assessment of Functioning ( GAF ) NOTE : The GA is taken directly from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , Fourth Edition ( DSM - IV ) , p . 32 , except that VHA only includes scores from 1 to 100 , excluding 0 ( insufficient information ) GAF is a 100 - point scale divided into ten defined levels , with higher scores indicating a higher overall level of functioning . For example , the Description of the GAF level 21 to 30 is as follows : “ Behavior is considerably influenced by delusions or hallucination or serious impairment in communication or judgment ( e.g. , sometimes incoherent , acts grossly inappropriately , suicidal preoccupation ) or inability to function in almost all areas ( e.g. , stays in bed all day , no job , homeor friends ) . ” GAF is to be used only to reflect psychological , social , and occupational functioning . Impairment in functioning due to physical illness or environmental limitations are not to be taken into consideration in using this scale . The scale rates both functioning and , particularly in the higher ratings , the severity of symptoms due to a mental disorder . Use of the GAF for documenting catastrophically disabled may be only done in the context of a mental disorder considered to be of a permanent nature . For example , a patient with a serious suicidal attempt might well Most veterans keep copies on hand of their discharge forms ( DD214s ) ; but those who ’ ve lost them can request copies by writing to the National Personnel Records Center ( Military Personnel Records ) , 9700 Page Avenue , St .

A broad spectrum of pathology may result when the system is not functioning properly ; some of the examples include immunodeficiency , autoimmunity , and hypersensitivity . In addition , the immune system is capable of identifying and eliminating cancer cells , and is thus important in cancer surveillance . Overview of the Immune System The various effector cells of the immune system have been previously described in the Laboratory on Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow . The innate immune cells ( dendritic cells , macrophages , etc . ) mainly circulate in the blood , although some reside in tissues throughout the body . The adaptive immune cells ( T - lymphocytes and B - lymphocytes ) , on the other hand , form specialized lymphoid tissues in addition to circulating the body . A lymphoid tissue can simply be described as any tissue containing large accumulations of lymphocytes . These lymphoid tissues include Bone marrow , which is the source of lymphocyte stem cells and the site of B - cell maturation . For more information , see the Laboratory on Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow . The thymus , which serves as the site of T - cell maturation . Lymph nodes , specialized sites of antigen presentation ( between antigen presenting cells and lymphocytes ) and lymphocyte activation and proliferation . The spleen , a site of interaction between blood - borne antigens and lymphocytes and another site for lymphocyte activation and proliferation . Mucosal associated lymphoid tissues ( MALT ) , sites of the immune response toward pathogens that enter via the mucosal surfaces . Examples of MALT include tonsils in the oropharynx , Peyer ’ s patches in the small intestine , and lymphoid aggregates in the large intestine . MALT also includes various sites of lymphocyte accumulation throughout the respiratory , gastrointestinal , and genitourinary tracts . Antigens at the mucosal surfaces are picked up by the lymphocytes in MALT . Once the lymphocytes are stimulated , they travel to the regional lymph nodes through efferent lymphatic vessels and undergo proliferation The term primary lymphoid tissue is used to describe sites of lymphocyte maturation , including the bone marrow and thymus . Secondary lymphoid tissues are sites of lymphocyte activation and proliferation . These include the spleen , lymph nodes , and MALT . The term lymphoid organ is used to describe lymphoid tissues that are well organized and encapsulated . These include the lymph nodes , thymus , and spleen . Bone Marrow The bone marrow is the site of B - cell maturation . It has been covered extensively in the Laboratory on Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow and will not be discussed further in this laboratory Thymus The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ engaged in the maturation of T - cells . It is most active during childhood and slowly degenerates after puberty . The thymus is encapsulated and divided into lobules by the interlobular septa , which contain blood vessels . Each lobule features an outer cortex densely populated by lymphocytes and an inner medulla less heavily infiltrated with lymphocytes ( and thus less heavily stained ) . Unlike secondary lymphoid organs , the thymus lacks nodules and afferent lymphatic vessels , and it is not a site where humoral immune responses are mounted . The thymic cortex contains immature and maturing T - cells . The larger and more immature T - cells are found in the outer cortex . They undergo mitosis and mature further as they move inward towards the medulla . T - cells that fail to mature properly undergo apoptosis and are removed by the macrophages at the interface of cortex and medulla . Immunocompetent T cells exit the parenchyma via post - capillary venules or efferent lymphatics . Cells forming the structural framework of the thymic parenchyma are epithelial in origin . This is important to keep in mind because the structural cells of all other lymphatic organs are mesodermal . Parencyhmal cells can most easily be recognized in the medulla as large , stellate , pale staining cells . In the thymic medulla , one can find characteristic Hassall ' s corpuscles , which are composed of keratinized epithelial cells . While the function of these structures is unknown , they may represent a degenerative process since they increase over the course of a lifetime . The The gross tissue structure of the thymus depends upon the age of the individual . The organ is large in early life and filled with lymphocytes , but involutes with advancing age , as the parenchyma is gradually replaced by adipose tissue . Lymph Nodes Lymph nodes occur along the course of the lymphatic vessels . They filter the lymph as it drains back to the bloodstream . Lymph nodes are important sites of interaction between antigens , antigen presenting cells , and lymphocytes . Normally , they are only a few millimeters in diameter . However , when an immune response is initiated , the lymphocytes within the lymph nodes undergo activation and proliferation , causing the nodes to enlarge . Lymph nodes are usually bean - shaped , with an indented region known as the hilum . They are covered by a collagenous capsule that extends into the body of the node as trabeculae . The body of the lymph node is divided into an outer cortex and an inner medulla . The cortex contains a high concentration of lymphocytes while the inner medulla is less cellular . Lymph from the extracellular space carries antigens and antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages from the tissues to the lymph nodes . The lymph enters the node at several points along the lymphatic system through afferent lymphatic vessels . These vessels pierce through the capsule and drain into the space below , known as the subcapsular sinus . From the subcapsular sinus , the lymph drains toward the medulla via channels called the cortical sinuses . As this occurs , it passes through the lymphoid cell mass in the cortex . After reaching the medulla , the The blood supply enters and leaves the lymph node at the hilum . The small arteries enter the lymph node and create a capillary network . Lymphocytes in the blood can then enter the lymph node across the walls of postcapillary venules , which are also known as high endothelial venules , HEV . These HEVs merge into small veins , which then carry blood away from the node . The parenchyma of the lymph nodes is composed of reticular fibers , which support the lymphocytes . Recall from the Laboratory on Connective Tissue and Cartilage that reticular fibers are composed primarily of type III collagen . In the cortex , B - lymphocytes are localized in lymphoid follicles just beneath the capsule . In absence of an active immune response , these follicles are known as primary lymphoid follicles . When an immune response is underway , focal points of intense B - cell proliferation known as germinal centers can be found in some follicles . These follicles then Spleen The spleen is an organ located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen . It serves three main functions : activation of immunity against antigens from the blood disposal of senescent blood cells , particularly erythrocytes hemopoiesis in fetus ( and in adults with particular diseases ) Like the lymph nodes , the spleen is covered by an outer capsule that extends into the parenchyma as trabeculae . The majority of the spleen is composed of a matrix called the red pulp , which is the site of erythrocyte disposal . Embedded within the red pulp are small white nodules called the white pulp . These nodules contain the lymphocytes . The structure of the red and white pulp can be best appreciated by considering the pulp in relation to the blood vessels of the spleen : The splenic artery enters the spleen at the hilus and branches into trabecular arteries . These arteries exit the trabeculae and split into central arteries , which run through the center of the white pulp . In the white pulp , the vessel is surrounded by the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath ( PALS ) , which is made up of mostly T - cells . At the border of the PALS lies the follicle , which consists mainly of B - cells . Surrounding the follicle are the narrow mantle zone , which contains packed lymphocytes , and a broader marginal zone , which contains more diffuse lymphocytes . After flowing through the central arteries , the blood enters the penicillus in the red pulp . The penicillus consists of a pulp artery , sheathed artery , and capillary . Blood cells arriving in the capillary must traverse this wall and then maneuver their way through the splenic sinuses and the cords of Billroth , which are located between the sinusoids and are composed of connective tissue and macrophages . In the sinuses , old or abnormal red cells that have lost their ability to deform are removed by macrophages , while healthy blood cells can squeeze through the walls of the sinuses and are transported out of the organ by the splenic vein . MALT : Tonsil Three groups of tonsils ( palatine , lingual , and pharyngeal ) form a ring around the pharynx where the nasal and oral passages unite . Each is characterized by an epithelium forming crypts deep into the parenchyma . The parenchyma contains several lymphoid follicles with or without germinal centers . The tonsil is usually separated from the underlying tissue by a connective tissue capsule . MALT : Peyer ' s Patches Peyer ' s patches are part of the gut associated lymphoid tissue ( GALT ) . They are found throughout the small intestine , but are most prominent in the ileum . The Peyer ' s patches are essentially groups of lymphoid follicles in the gastric muscosa that bulge into the lumen and form dome - like structures . The structure of the follicles here is similar to that of a lymph node : they have follicles ( B - cell area ) with germinal centers inside , while smaller numbers of T - cells occupy the area between follicles Lymphatic Vessels Lymphatic vessels closely follow the venous portion of the circulatory system . Lymph capillaries arise in the tissue near capillary beds and conduct the lymph through successively larger vessels to converge upon the lymphatic ducts ( thoracic and right lymphatic duct ) , which in turn empty into the great veins at the base of the neck . The lymph nodes are located along this network and act as filters for various regions of the body , returning tissue fluid and lymphocytes to the general circulation . A lymphatic capillary may be distinguished from a blood capillary by its relatively larger lumen and its irregular diameter . The walls of lymph capillaries are composed of endothelial cells and a small amount of connective tissue . They usually lack a continuous basement membrane . Valves are found in the larger vessels , and while these may appear similar to veins , lymphatic vessels contain only a few lymphocytes and no erythrocytes . Pre - Lab Quiz Suspected of having a rare genetic disorder , a patient and her daughter both have biopsies of their thymus . The biopsy of the thymus of the daughter shows a highly cellular thymus that contains many lymphocytes , while the maternal thymus appears less robust , with large areas of adipose tissue and numerous inclusions . What can you conclude based upon the results of this test ? Answer : Explain the acronyms MALT and GALT . Answer : Explain the structural organization of blood flow through the spleen .

It has five main functions : protection , thermoregulation , sensation , metabolic functions ( vitamin D , adipose metabolism ) , and sexual attraction . Skin is composed of several subunits . The three main divisions are : the epidermis , or surface epithelium , which is a self - regenerating stratified squamous epithelium that produces a protective protein layer of keratin . the dermis , an underlying layer of dense collagenous connective tissue that contains hair follicles , sweat glands , blood and lymphatic vessels , sensory receptors and nerves , and connective tissue cells . the hypodermis , another connective tissue layer that is rich in white adipose cells and contains large blood vessels that supply the smaller vessels of the dermis . Epidermis The epidermis is a stratified squamous epithelium that contains discrete layers of proliferating , differentiating , and differentiated cells called keratinocytes . It is divided into four layers that have different structural appearances : Basal Cell Layer - Keratinocytes begin in the deepest layer of the epidermis , the stratum basale , which is a row of columnar cells resting on the basal lamina that separates the epidermis from the dermis . Mitosis occurs exclusively at the basal cell layer and allows for the replacement of cells lost from the surface . Stratum Spinosum - After forming in the basal cell layer , keratinocytes migrate upwards into the stratum spinosum . In this layer , they develop short projections that attach via desmosomes to adjacent cells . The stratum spinosum is also known as the " prickly layer " because of these characteristic spines . The cells in this layer produce cytokeratin , an intermediate filament precursor to keratin . Stratum Granulosum - The third layer is the stratum granulosum . In this layer , the keratinocytes have become squamous cells that contain granules of keratohyaline , a precursor to the extracellular keratin that protects the skin tissue from abrasion . Stratum Corneum - The most superficial layer of the epidermis is the aceullar stratum corneum . It is the most functionally important layer of the skin and consists of flat , keratinized scales that are shed and replaced continuously . This is the layer that includes the final keratin product , which is a combination of cytokeratin and keratohyaline . Recall from the Laboratory of Epithelia that epithelia differ in their degree of keratinization - those exposed to abrasion and desiccation are heavily keratinized , but those that form mucous membranes do not have much keratin . For example , the skin is highly keratinized , but the esophagus , anal canal , and vagina are not . Instead of protection by keratin , these mucous membranes are kept moist by glandular secretions . Mucous membranes lack a stratum granulosum and stratum corneum . The epidermis contains several characteristic cell types : Melanocytes occur at intervals among the basal keratinocytes and produce melanin pigment , which is most abundant in sun - exposed skin and in areas surrounding body openings . Melanin is synthesized from tyrosine and transferred as melanin granules to the surrounding epithelial cells . While the number of melanocytes is the same in light - and dark - skinned people , they are far more active in the latter . Langerhans cells are typically located in the stratum spinosum and are the equivalent of macrophages in the skin tissue . Merkel cells are attached to keratinocytes by desmosomes and are most commonly found in highly sensitive areas like the fingertips - these serve as touch receptors . Dermis and Hypodermis The dermis consists of two layers : Papillary layer - The most superficial layer of the dermis is the papillary layer , which consists of loose connective tissue immediately beneath the epidermal basement membrane . Reticular layer - The reticular layer is composed of dense , irregular collagenous connective tissue . Most blood vessels , nerves , and sensory receptors occur in the papillary layer . This region also contains Meissner ' s corpuscles , which sense light touch . The hypodermis is the fatty layer beneath the dermis . It is thickest in the abdominal wall and virtually absent in the eyelid , scrotum , penis , and the dorsal side of the hand . This layer contains a significant number of fibroblasts , which synthesize collagen and elastin . The hypodermis contains Pacinian corpuscles , which sense deep touch . Epidermal Derivatives Many structures are derived from epidermal tissue . Keep in mind that just because a structure is derived from the epidermis does not mean that it is located in the epidermis . Hair follicles are encased by an invagination of the epidermis into the dermis known as the external root sheath . They contain specially organized keratin built into long tubular structures . Remember that hair follicles have generous blood and nerve supplies . There are three states of hair follicles : Anagen - Growing follicles synthesize hair . They are long and most numerous in the scalp . Catagen - Resorbing follicles are in a short phase of regression that signals the end of active hair growth . Telogen - Resting follicles contain a fully formed hair . Sebaceous glands are pear - shaped alveolar glands that secrete an oily substance called sebum , which moisturizes and waterproofs hair . They are usually attached to hair follicles near the arrector pili muscle , which allows the hair to " stand up . " An extensive capillary plexus characterizes sebaceous glands . Eccrine sweat glands occur throughout most of the skin . They consist of long tubules extending from the epidermis deep into the dermis or hypodermis . The secretory portion of each gland is tightly wound and appears as a collection of cross - sectioned tubules . It is encased by myoepithelial cells , which contain actin filaments . These cells receive input from nerve fibers , which cause them to contract and expulse the sweat from the gland . Keep in mind the organs that do not have eccrine sweat glands : the glans penis , the inner surface of Apocrine sweat glands are much larger than eccrine glands and produce a thicker secretion . They have straight , narrow ducts that run parallel to hair follicles and frequently open into the pilosebaceous canal . These sweat glands occur in the axilla , the areola of the nipple , the labia majora , and the circumanal region . Mammary Glands Mammary glands are one of the most complex epidermal derivatives . These glands are present in both sexes , but only develop fully in females after parturition . They begin to undergo dramatic structural changes at puberty . The basic structure of the mammary glands involves alveoli that contain two layers of cells : an inner cuboidal epithelium and an outer layer of myoepithelial cells . The alveoli make up tubuloalveolar glands , or lobes , which connect via lactiferous ducts to the base of the nipple . After milk is produced , it is secreted and travels through the ducts into spindle - shaped enlargements beneath the areola known as lactiferous sinuses . Important structural changes occur in the mammary glands over the course of the female ' s lifetime : In a nonpregnant , sexually mature female , the glandular tissue consists of ducts with small terminal alveoli embedded in an abundant connective tissue stroma that contains many adipose cells . During pregnancy , hormonal stimulation results in the proliferation of the intralobar ducts and terminal alveoli . The epithelial cells become enlarged and vacuolated , as milk fat production increases . After parturition , the gland enters its active secretory phase and produces watery milk containing membrane - bound lipid droplets , as well as milk proteins , lactose , and cellular debris . Suckling causes release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary and oxytocin from the posterior pituitary ( processes that you will study in detail during Physiology ) . Prolactin maintains milk production and oxytocin causes the contraction of myoepithelial cells and ejection of milk . Types of Exocrine Secretion In your study of Histology , you may hear three different terms to describe exocrine cells . These can often be confusing . Merocrine , or eccrine , secretion occurs by exocytosis . This is the mode of secretion of both eccrine and apocrine glands , which can be very confusing . Apocrine secretion occurs when a portion of the plasma membrane containing the secretion buds off from the cell . This is the mode of secretion of the mammary glands and mucous - producing cells , but not the apocrine sweat glands . Holocrine secretion occurs when the entire cell disintegrates in order to release its secretion . Sebaceous glands exhibit holocrine secretion , as the sebum is released with remnants of dead cells . Pre - Lab Quiz Name the four layers of the epidermis and the state of keratin associated with each . Answer : What are the important differences between sebaceous glands , eccrine sweat glands , and apocrine sweat glands ? Answer : What is the structure of the mammary gland , and what key differences do you expect to see between active and inactive mammary tissue ? Name the three types of exocrine secretion , their key characteristics , and an example of a cell that demonstrates each one .

Home > ENT > Chronic Pharyngitis : Causes , symptoms and treatment Chronic Pharyngitis : Causes , symptoms and treatment Editor September 11 , 2010 ENT 48 Comments Chronic pharyngitis can cause a significant problem in daily life , starting from throat discomfort in the morning to alteration of voice . Chronic inflammatory condition of the pharynx characterized by hypertrophy of mucosa , seromucinous glands , subepithelial lymphoid follicles and even the muscular coat of the pharynx . Two Types of Chr . Pharyngitis - Chronic Catarrhal Pharyngitis Chronic Granular Pharyngitis ( Hypertrophic ) Causes ( Etiology ) Of Chronic Pharyngitis - Persistent infection in the surrounding structures of pharynx like sinus , tonsils , nose etc including dental sepsis . Mouth breathing exposes pharynx to air which has not been filtered , humidified and adjusted . These are usually result of nasal polyp , rhinitis , turbinate hypertrophy , adenoids , tumors . It can also be due to protruded teeth or habitual mouth breathing . Environmental Pollution Faulty voice production as seen in certain professions like singers and over use of voice . Can also occur in case of pharyngeal neurosis Symptoms - Discomfort or pain in the throat - prominent in the morning Foreign body sensation ( something stuck to throat ) sensation - patient has constant desire to clear his throat . Tiredness of Voice - voice may lose quality and even crack . Cough - irritable throat . Simply opening of mouth can cause retching and gagging Signs - Throat in Chr . pharyngitis Congestion of posterior wall of pharynx , engorgement of vessels , pillars may be thickened . Increased mucus secretion . Posterior pharyngeal wall may be studded with reddish nodules in case of Granular pharyngitis . Lateral pharyngeal bands may enlarge and uvula may be elongated and hypertrophied . Treatment : - Etiological factor or causative agent must be eradicated for resolution of Pharyngitis . Eg . Stop smoking , abstain from alcohol and cold , irritant food . Voice rest is essential Speech therapy where faulty voice production is seen Warm Saline gargles may be soothing and even relieves pain and irritation . Mandl ’ s paint can be applied to mucosa of pharynx Surgical – Cautery of Lymphoid granules – Electrocautery or Diathermy . Actual case of Chronic pharyngitis - Source - Disease Of ENT , PL Dhingra and lecture notes Tags : chronic pharyngitis pharyngitis tonsilitis About The Author Editor 48 Comments March 8 , 2012 Reza Naheed Respected Doctor , i have a similar condition i.e. , chronic pharyngitis accompanied with pan sinusitis ( large polyp on L.H.S and small polyp on R.H.S next to the nasal area ) . I have also been diagnosed with DNS on R.H.S . Have been running pillar to post for a resolution but doctors are recommending a surgery ‘ balloon blasty ’ for the polyps . Please suggest some remedial action . Reza Naheed Reply April 1 , 2012 Mahesh Kandpal I have chronic infammation on the upper pharynx since last few years . The infammation has been progressively increasing . The triggering factors are cold liquids intake , yogurt , cold fruits , weather changes etc . I have shown to few ENT specialist but they just prescribe anti allergens but for no improvement . One of them even tried oral steroids but didnt help . I did sinus X ray which looks clear . Not sure about rhinitis . Really not able to figure out wats the cause . But the constant inflammation is really very frustrating . I Reply April 1 , 2012 Administrator Looks like you have inflammation of Nasopharynx . It is really disturbing and painful condition and usually makes you feel unwell in the mornings . The prevention is to avoid allergens , avoid fans and cold drinks before sleeping . And steam inhalation can be soothing . A course of antibiotic can be helpful if inflammation is severe . Avoidance of triggers are best way to get relief of the problem . November 27 , 2012 Siddharth I have been diagonsed with chronic pharyngitis . My doctor says the tonsil has to be removed surgically and there is a bone in my nose which needs to straightened surgically since it ’ s blocking the air flow into right the nasal cavity . I have been suffering from this condition for past couple of years , have been avoiding cold drinks , ice creams , spicy foods , i dont smoke but still my throat gets sore every now and then . My doc says staying inside AC during office hours and going out to hot humid weather November 27 , 2012 Administrator The curved bone in septum of nose is called DNS ( Deviated Nasal Septum ) and it can be cause of Recurrent URTI including Sinusitis and pharyngitis . If tonsillitis occurs too frequently and is troubling you too much , you may need removal indeed . Avoiding cold drinks , alcohol , smoking can help . Steam inhalation and warm saline gargle can help during symptoms . But what is your age ? How often do you get tonsillitis per year ? If you can reply this we can be clearer on the problem . November 30 , 2012 Siddhartha Mitra I am 28 . i got the pharyngitis atleast 12 - 14 times last year . The frequency has increased in the past year as compared to the previous years though . I would get the infection 2 - 3 times max in a year before last year . tonsilitis , sinusitis and pharyngitis are all linked i guess but every time i see a doctor , he says that its chronic pharyngitis . i see my throat every once in a while and it never looks better and looks exactly like in the picture above . sometimes i get November 24 , 2015 Jennifer Hi I am 12 and I feel like I have a lump on the top of my throat also my throat in the back looks smaller like those pictures above .

Article Content Return To Library Print Bennett ' s Fracture - Fracture of the Base of the Thumb Introduction | Anatomy | Causes Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Surgery Recovery Introduction A Bennett ’ s fracture occurs when the bone at the base of the thumb breaks and dislocates . It results from a forceful injury , such as during fist fighting , playing football , accidents , or a fall . A Bennett ’ s fracture causes thumb swelling , pain , and immobility . Treatment entails realigning the broken bone and providing stabilization while it heals . Back to Top Anatomy The metacarpal bone at the base of your thumb and the trapezium bone in your wrist meet to form the carpometacarpal ( CMC ) joint . Smooth cartilage covers the ends of the metacarpal and trapezium . The cartilage allows the bones to glide easily during motion . Strong ligaments and muscles hold the CMC joint in position and provide a combination of mobility and stability . Your thumb joint is the only joint in your hand that can move in all directions . Your thumb can move up and down , in and out , and rotate slightly to touch your fingers ( opposition ) . You move your thumbs hundreds of times each day . The movements of the thumb allow it to work as an anchor to help the fingers hold objects . The thumb works as a grip when you use a hammer or hold a glass . The thumb also acts as a stabilizer to allow your fingers to manipulate items . Back to Top Causes A Bennett ’ s fracture occurs when the metacarpal bone in the thumb breaks and dislocates at the base of the thumb . Forces that impact the bent thumb cause this injury . Bennett ’ s fractures can result from any significant forces placed on the base of the thumb , such as sports , falls and accidents . Symptoms A Bennett ’ s fracture causes your thumb to feel painful and stiff . Your thumb area will swell . Your thumb may be unstable and therefore difficult to move normally . Over time , it is common for an old poorly treated Bennett ’ s fracture to develop arthritis . This is because the joint at the base of the thumb was not realigned properly . Diagnosis Your doctor can diagnose a Bennett ’ s fracture by examining your hand and taking X - rays . In some cases , a computed tomography ( CT ) scan may be used to provide a more detailed image . Treatment Small uncomplicated fractures , without displacement of the bone fragments , are treated non - surgically . This means that the bones can be held in the correct alignment without surgically opening the skin . In this case , a splint and or a cast is used . A thumb spica cast or splint is worn to maintain positioning while the Bennett ’ s fracture heals . Fractures that require realignment are reduced surgically and stabilized with pins , screws or plates . Surgery A Bennett ’ s fracture can also be treated with open reduction and internal fixation ( ORIF ) . This means that an incision is made at the base of the thumb . Surgical hardware , such as screws , pins or plates are used to align the fracture to allow it to heal in the correct position . A thumb spica cast or splint is worn for several weeks following surgery . Therapy for range of motion of the thumb is started when your doctor determines it is safe to do so . Recovery Casts are usually worn for four to six weeks . Once removed , you will participate in hand therapy exercises to increase the mobility , flexibility , and strength in your hand . Generally , Bennett ’ s fractures caused by low impact forces have better outcomes than injuries caused by high forces .

August 2015 : Fastest - Growing States for Tech Jobs Posted In The Dice Report Comments Off on August 2015 : Fastest - Growing States for Tech Jobs The fastest - growing state for technology jobs this year so far is n ’ t California – where Silicon Valley ’ s legion of startups and well - established tech firms continue to dominate headlines – and it is n ’ t New York , Texas or any of the other handful of states that have aggressively been trying to generate tech - related PR buzz over the past several months . In fact , it ’ s Minnesota , that stalwart northern state which , according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics , saw the size of its tech workforce jump 8.36 percent over the past six months , to 37,600 workers . Minnesota cities such as Minneapolis - Saint Paul feature a combination of startups , service providers , and major corporations in serious need of tech talent . Moreover , overall tech - job growth in these cities has been steady over the past three quarters , suggesting that the local industry is sustainable . Utah and Nebraska came in second and third on the list of fastest - growing states for tech jobs , with six - month tech - employment gains of 5.75 percent and 5.22 percent , respectively . Michigan and Florida rounded out the top five . While northern states filled three of the top five slots on the list of fastest - growing states for tech jobs , growth was pretty evenly distributed across the country , as one can see from the top seventeen states that experienced percentage increases in their tech - pro populations : 1 . Minnesota ( 8.36 percent ) 2 . Utah ( 5.75 percent ) 3 . Nebraska ( 5.22 percent ) 4 . Michigan ( 4.47 percent ) 5 . Florida ( 4.27 percent ) 6 . Massachusetts ( 3.75 percent ) 7 . New York ( 3.58 percent ) 8 . Maryland ( 3.45 percent ) 9 . Oregon ( 3.42 percent ) 10 . California ( 3.04 percent ) 11 . Virginia ( 2.31 percent ) 12 . Illinois ( 2.14 percent ) 13 . Texas ( 1.97 percent ) 14 . Ohio ( 1.39 percent ) 15 . Missouri ( 1.17 percent ) 16 . Georgia ( 0.96 percent ) 17 . New Jersey ( 0.43 percent ) Other details to note : While California and New York did n ’ t top the list of fastest - growing states , they came in first and second on the list of states that added the most technology positions in the first half of 2015 . California added roughly 8,400 jobs during that period , trailed by New York with 3,800 jobs . Given the sizeable technology sectors in those states , even the addition of several thousand jobs does n ’ t translate into as sizeable percentage growth as in , say , Minnesota . Pennsylvania , Washington , North Carolina , and Alabama actually saw their tech workforce decline – by 0.61 percent , 0.63 percent , 2.36 percent , and 3.52 percent , respectively – during the first half of 2015 . The dip in North Carolina ’ s numbers is especially surprising , as the state has positioned Raleigh as an up - and - coming tech hub . But if history has shown anything , it ’ s that tech employment in a particular state can just as quickly spring back . Overall , the unemployment rate for tech professionals averaged 2.1 percent in the second quarter , down a bit from 2.3 percent in the first quarter . That ’ s good news for tech pros , no matter which state they live in ; lower unemployment can drive employers to offer better salaries and perks in order to attract and retain top talent .

Extracted from Chapter 5 Creating , Adding , and Committing : Git Basics Committing Changes Committing is a relatively straight forward process that adds your changes to the history of your repository and assigns a commit name to it . The change is not sent to a central repository , though . Other people can pull the change from you , or you can push the change to some other repository , but there ' s no automatic updating . We ' ll talk about these in Section Keeping Up - To - Date and Section Pushing Changes You can use commit in multiple ways to commit changes to your repository , but every commit requires a log message . You can add a message by adding - m " your message " . The message can be any valid string . You can also specify multiple paragraphs by passing multiple - m options to git commit For more complex messages that require an editor , you can execute git commit without the - m and Git launches your editor to create your log message . When Git tries to launch an editor , it looks through the following values in order : GIT_EDITOR environment variable core . editor Git configuration value VISUAL environment variable EDITOR Git tries vi if nothing else is set When you use the editor to create your commit message , you can tell Git to add a diff in the editor showing the changes you are about to commit by adding the - v The log message is only as good as the content that you commit , though . Like nearly every command in Git , there are a few different ways to handle a commit . The first is to call git add in some form for every file - - - or change if you ' re using git add - p - - - that you want to commit . This stages those changes for commit , calling closes the loop . This process looks like this : prompt > git add some - file prompt > git commit - m " Refactor to simplify " Another way to handle commits is to pass it the - a parameter on the command line . Remember , we talked about this as the shortcut around staging changes in the last section . It tells Git to take the most current version of your working tree and commit it to the repository . It wo n ' t add new , untracked files , however , only files that are already being tracked . If the only change you had made to your working tree in the example above was to the some - file , you could perform the same commit by executing the following : git commit - m " Refactor to simplify " - a The last method of committing changes is to specify the file or files you want to commit . Just add each file you want to commit after you specify all of the options you want to pass Git . Using the example from the two previous commits : git commit - m " Refactor to simplify " some - file All three examples have their use . Staged commits are useful when you want to commit just a portion of a file using the git add - p command . If you need to pull just one file out of several that have changed and commit that , you can commit using the explicit file . There is an important difference to remember between the first method of committing staged commits versus committing all changes or a particular file ' s changes . The last two commit the file as it exists the moment you execute the commit . The first commits the change you staged . This means that you can stage a change , make a change to the file , then commit the change you had staged while still having a file that is changed in your working tree . Think of a staged commit as a buffer . You add to the buffer with git add . That buffer stays there until you save it by executing We ' ve covered the basics now . We have a repository , we ' ve added some files to it , and committed some changes . When you ' re working with the files in your repository , you ' ll need to see what changes you have made . That ' s up next . Missing Subversion Shortcuts If you ' re coming from Subversion , you are probably used to all of those shortcuts to commonly used commands . You never have to type svn checkout , or svn commit because a simple svn co or svn ci does the trick for you . As you ' ve worked with Git , you probably tried those same aliases and been given an error that it was not a git command . Its true that Git does n ' t ship with all of those aliases , but it does give you a better option . You can add your own aliases via the git config To add git ci as a shortcut to git commit , just type git config - - global alias . ci " commit " the command prompt . This works for any Git command so you can customize your environment just the way you want it . Seeing What Has Changed It ' s easy to remember that you added a new file or made a change to one file when it ' s fresh in your mind . Sometimes you do n ' t have that luxury though . You need to find out what has changed in your working tree and how it ' s changed . You can use two of Git ' s provided commands , git status and git diff to do that . Viewing the Current Status You can use git status to see all of the changes that have occurred in your repository . The output it generates is based on the status of any staged commits and how your current working copy compares to what is tracked by the repository . To start , change the line monday to read MONDAY . Now run git status # On branch test # Changed but not updated : # ( use " git add < file > . . . " to update what will be committed ) # modified : days . txt no changes added to commit ( use " git add " and / or " git commit - a " ) This tells you that Git has n ' t staged the change yet . A quick git add changes that : git add days . txt git status # On branch test # Changes to be committed : # ( use " git reset HEAD < file > . . . " to unstage ) # modified : days . txt Now you ' ve staged the commit . The header before the days . txt file has changed . Make another change to days . txt now and re - run . . . make change to days . txt . . . # Changes to be committed : # ( use " git reset HEAD < file > . . . " to unstage ) # Changed but not updated : # ( use " git add < file > . . . " to update what will be committed ) Now tells you there ' s two changes . The first one is the staged commit you already added ; the second is the change you just made . If you were to make a commit right now , the first change that you staged is all that would be committed . This is because of the two - step commit process we talked about in Chapter 3 . Viewing Difference Another useful command for looking at changes is git diff . It can show you differences between your working copy and the repository as well as your staged commit and the working copy . You can view the changes you just made to your repository , but have n ' t committed by executing from the command line . Let ' s change a file first . Edit the file and change the line with friday to be all upper case . . . . change days . txt file and save it . . . git diff index 6d612ab . .c684aa5 100644 - - - a / days . txt + + + b / days . txt @ @ - 2 , 6 + 2 , 6 @ @ MONDAY tuesday wednesday thursday - friday + FRIDAY saturday sunday We can see from the output of diff that we changed the case of friday . The marks the line we removed ; the + marks the line we added . This format , with all of the extra information at the top , is called a unified diff . It is one of the most common ways for developers to communicate changes to one another when they are not using a common version control system . only shows changes in your working tree that you have not staged or committed yet . You can view the difference between what you have staged and what is in the repository by adding - - cached to the command . git diff - - cached diff - - git a / days . txt b / days . txt index f647364 . .6d612ab 100644 - - - a / days . txt + + + b / days . txt @ @ - 1 , 4 + 1 , 4 @ @ - monday + MONDAY tuesday wednesday thursday When you execute without any parameters , it considers anything you have staged as part of the repository ' s content so it generates the diff as if that was already committed . To see the difference between what is in your working tree and the latest commit to the repository , add HEAD after git diff HEAD diff - - git a / days . txt b / days . txt index f647364 . .c684aa5 100644 @ @ - 1 , 7 + 1 , 7 @ @ - monday + MONDAY - friday + FRIDAY saturday sunday HEAD is just a keyword that refers to the most recent commit made to the repository . Whenever you see someone refer to the of the repository , they just mean the last commit . Now you know all of the normal commands to get you going . You can add files , commit changes to the files you ' re tracking , and even compare the changes you ' ve made against what ' s in your repository . Now you might want to do some housekeeping in it . Things such as moving , copying , and even ignoring some files . We ' ll cover these next .

BCBSNC Sues Federal Government for Risk Corridor Payments Owed 02 Jun 2016 Durham , N.C . BCBSNC is suing for hundreds of millions of dollars in risk corridor payments the government is required to pay the insurer under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) , as well as assurances from the government that full risk corridor payments for 2015 and 2016 will be timely made . Federal government underpaid BCBSNC by approximately $ 130 million for 2014 alone . Risk corridor payments are required by government obligations under statute , regulation and contract in connection with BCBSNC ’ s agreement to serve as a Qualified Health Plan on ACA Exchanges in North Carolina . Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina BCBSNC ) has filed suit against the federal government in the United States Court of Federal Claims , located in Washington , DC , for hundreds of millions of dollars in mandatory risk corridor payments the government owes to the insurer for 2014 under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) . BCBSNC also seeks assurances from the government that full risk corridor payments for 2015 and 2016 will be timely made . The government is obligated by statute , regulation and contract to timely pay the full risk corridor payments owed to BCBSNC for 2014 . The government has acknowledged it is obligated to pay BCBSNC approximately $ 147 million in mandatory risk corridor payments for 2014 , but has only paid BCBSNC approximately $ 18 million of that amount – a shortfall of nearly 90 % . BCBSNC estimates that the government will owe it more than $ 175 million in mandatory risk corridor payments for 2015 as well . The federal government ’ s failure to meet its legal obligations exacerbated BCBSNC ’ s ACA losses in 2014 and 2015 and has made it significantly more challenging for the company to continue selling ACA products . BCBSNC lost more than $ 400 million on its ACA products in 2014 and 2015 . Congress designed the temporary risk corridor program to provide financial stability for insurers and consumers during the first few years of the ACA and to encourage more insurers to participate in the ACA ’ s new exchanges . The risk corridors program was modeled after a similar plan Congress initiated when it expanded Medicare to include Part D coverage of prescription drugs during the last decade . “ We are working hard to make the Affordable Care Act work for our customers and our company , ” said BCBSNC President and CEO Brad Wilson . “ The federal government ’ s failure to honor its legal obligations contributed significantly to our ACA losses in 2014 and 2015 and makes it more challenging for our company to continue selling ACA products to our customers . ” “ The risk corridor payments are legally required under the Affordable Care Act , its implementing regulations and pursuant to contracts between BCBSNC and the federal government , ” said BCBSNC General Counsel King Prather . “ BCBSNC ’ s decision to participate in this new , volatile ACA marketplace was impacted by our reliance on the government ’ s assurances that the risk corridor program was in place to provide some protection against the significant losses we have suffered . All we ’ re asking is that the federal government live up to its promises and pay what it About Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina : Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina improves the health and well - being of our customers and communities by providing innovative health care products , services and information to more than 3.89 million members , including approximately 1 million served on behalf of other Blue Plans . Since 1933 , we have worked to make North Carolina a better place to live through our support of community organizations , programs and events that promote good health .

How to Set the Right Price for Your Self - Published Book In addition to the writing and the marketing and promotion of a book , self - published authors even have to get as nitty gritty as pricing the book . A lot of authors come to me asking how they should price their self - published titles to optimize sales . Some self - publishing critics say that the books that do sell well are one - hit wonders . But the same can be said about the traditional book industry . According to the Library of Congress , the average book sells 250 copies a year and the average self - published book sells 150 copies a year . These numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt because no one database has all the data . " I ' ve heard people say that a low price devalues literature , but I believe the only true way to devalue literature is to see that it goes unread . " - Hugh Howey What ’ s the average price of an indie / self - published book ? According to a recent Smashwords survey , authors in 2013 chose to price their books at $ 2.99 the most . Last year the magic number was 99 cents . Authors quickly realized that pricing their books so low devalued the content and started pricing their books higher because readers were willing to pay more . Should you price high or low ? Click the image for the full series . One surprising find from the Smashwords survey is that , on average , $ 3.99 books sell more units than $ 2.99 books , and more units than any other price point ( this does not include FREE downloads ) . People who price under $ 3.99 might be underpricing their books because readers are responding to the $ 3.99 price point really well for self - published books . Although the general pattern holds that lower - priced books tend to sell more units than higher - priced books , $ 3.99 was the rule - breaker . A $ 3.99 price point earns authors total income that is 55 percent above the average compared with all price points . ADVERTISEMENT Each author I spoke to has a different sales strategy , but the common theme is start low , and then increase your price once you ’ ve found your readers , and experiment ! The ‘ freemium ’ strategy Hugh Howey Some authors , like best - selling self - published author Hugh Howey , are evangelists of the “ freemium ” strategy . Howey , when first self - published in 2009 after rejecting a publishing deal , focused on getting more readers . Howey said in an email interview that his “ goal is to price my work as close to free as I can without turning away discriminate readers . I ’ ve heard people say that a low price devalues literature , but I believe the only true way to devalue literature is to see that it goes unread . I give away my work as much as possible . I do n ’ t employ DRM ; I have no problem with people pirating my works ; and I offer stories for free on my website and on major distribution To date , Howey has published more than a dozen books and novellas and has sold more than 700,000 copies in the past year and a half . Howey uses a marketing strategy called free promotions where authors make their book free for a select number of days and reach out to this list of sites we ’ ve curated that may feature your book for you . This way , you get new readers for your book . His reasoning is , “ I want readers to be able to sample and decide whether or not the series is right for them . Before the work was permanently free , I used promotional tools to make it free for a limited time . “ Once his books generated buzz and gained some popularity they began selling on their own . Series and price pulsing Susan Kaye Quinn Author Susan Kaye Quinn , a rocket scientist turned writer , started self - publishing her fiction series in 2011 . To date , she has more than 19 titles on Amazon . Quinn held off doing free book promotions because she not only wanted to increase sales , but needed to make back her investment in editing , cover art , and wanted to fund future books . Instead , Quinn started pricing her first books in the series lower than the rest . She discovered that she made the same amount of money whether she priced Book 1 in a series at $ 2.99 or $ 3.99 . Even though she made the same amount of money , she got more readers at the $ 2.99 price because that meant more readers bought Book 1 . Then for books 2 and 3 in the series , she raised the price once the readers were already hooked . Quinn wrote via email , “ Opting for a lower price and more readers for the same money was an easy choice . Books 2 and 3 were set at $ 3.99 , because readership did n ’ t increase at the lower price . I took this to mean that once people read and presumably enjoyed Book 1 , they were less price sensitive for Books 2 and 3 . But in trying out a new author and a new book , the lower price for the first book in the series made a difference . ” When Quinn completed her trilogy , she made the first book free forever which resulted in bringing in lots of new readers to her series . In over a year and half , Quinn has sold more than 40,000 books . Accidental best seller Best - selling author / lawyer Darcie Chan decided to put her story up on Amazon to get feedback . She was thrilled when she sold 100 copies of her quiet fiction book “ Mill River Recluse . ” Chan was interested in developing an audience and getting more readers so she always priced her book between 99 cents and $ 2.99 . “ I think any full - length manuscript is worth more than that , ” she says . “ But , being completely unknown as a writer , I wanted people to read my work — to give it a chance . I kept the price very low to hopefully encourage the greatest number of people to do that . And even when the sales figures started climbing , I kept the price low . I Chan had put aside a small budget of several hundred dollars to advertise her books on sites like Kindle Nation Daily and was shocked when two months later , “ more than 100,000 copies had sold and the book appeared on the New York Times best - seller list . ” Chan ’ s book remained on the best - seller list for seven months . To date , approximately 700,000 self - published copies have been sold . Regardless of the sales of the books , the important thing to remember is no pricing strategy will work if your book is n ’ t in its best shape . This means having a well - edited book , eye - catching cover , an error - free book and selecting the right categories for discovery .

News | Policy Pennsylvania Gas Tax May Soon Be the Highest in the U.S . By : Sarah Leitner | June 26 , 2013 Article Highlights The gasoline tax would reach 75 cents per gallon , while the diesel tax would surpass $ 1.00 per gallon . State Representative : " We will be the highest gas tax in the nation . " Uncapping the Oil Company Franchise Tax would allow Pennsylvania ’ s gas and diesel taxes to rocket upwards , making them the highest tax rates in the nation . The lifting of the cap to create higher tax revenues is an instrumental part of Republican Gov . Tom Corbett ’ s plan to pay for repairs to the state ’ s crumbling transportation system . “ We will be the highest gas tax in the nation , “ State Rep . Stephen Barrar ( R - Delaware ) told CBS Philly . “ Can you imagine what [ the increase in diesel ] is going to do to the cost of deliveries ? ” he added . According to the American Petroleum Institute , Pennsylvania currently has a gas tax of 50.7 cents per gallon , the fourteenth highest in the nation . New York has the highest gas tax at 68.9 cents , and the national average is 49 cents . The uncapping would cause the wholesale price to rise by 28.5 cents a gallon for unleaded gasoline and 38.5 cents a gallon for diesel — a price that likely will be passed on to the consumer at the pump . The proposal to uncap the Oil Company Franchise Tax uncap is part of the transportation bill currently in the House . Corbett ’ s original transportation bill suggested uncapping the tax over five years , while Senate Bill 1 brought that down to three years . Now , an amendment from House Transportation Committee Chair Dick Hess ( R - Bedford ) uncaps the tax over a 10 - year span . Corbett also proposed reducing the flat tax portion of the state gas tax by about two cents over two years . With that two cent decrease added to the 28.5 cent increase , the Pennsylvania gas tax would still be over 75 cents a gallon , topping New York by over six cents . Similarly , Pennsylvania ’ s diesel tax is currently the seventh - highest in the nation . And with the 38 - cent increase , it will be the nation ’ s most expensive diesel tax by over 20 cents per gallon . Stephanie Wissman , Executive Director of the Associated Petroleum Industries of Pennsylvania ( API - PA ) , told Media Trackers that API - PA could not say for certain if the 28 cents would be passed on to the consumer . “ That ’ s something we do n ’ t know , ” she said . “ It ’ s up to each individual company . ” She added that API - PA is neutral on the transportation bill currently in the House . “ We recognize the Commonwealth ’ s obligation for safe and reliable transportation infrastructure , ” she said . “ I will say the transportation funding plan seems to be a rational approach . ” The Commonwealth Foundation pointed out in December that there ’ s simply not a shortage of funds under existing transportation funding mechanisms . Instead , according to the Commonwealth Foundation , the current dollars are just not being used efficiently . Pennsylvania spends more than $ 71,000 per road mile , ranked 11 th among the other states for the most expensive , the Commonwealth Foundation ’ s report found . Highway spending also costs $ 660 per person , which is higher than 26 other states . The foundation also points out that state transportation spending has more than doubled over the past 17 years .

joint ( redirected from Articulation ( anatomy ) Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Financial Encyclopedia joint the site of the junction or union of two or more bones body ; its primary function is to provide motion and flexibility to frame body . Some are immovable , such as sutures where segments bone are fused together in skull . Others , such as those between vertebrae , gliding joints and have limited motion . However , most joints allow considerable motion . The most common type synovial joints which have a complex internal structure , composed not only ends bones but also ligaments cartilage articular capsule synovial membrane sometimes bursae acromioclavicular point at which clavicle joins with acromion . ankle between foot leg ; see ankle arthrodial gliding joint ball - and - socket a synovial joint in rounded spheroidal surface one bone ( the “ ball ” ) moves within cup - shaped depression ( the “ socket ” ) on another bone , allowing greater freedom movement than any other type joint . See illustration . Called also polyaxial spheroidal joint bicondylar condylar joint with meniscus articular surfaces , temporomandibular joint cartilaginous synarthrosis united by cartilage , providing slight flexible movement ; two types synchondrosis symphysis composite compound synovial joint more than involved . condylar condyloid one an ovoid head moves an elliptical cavity another , permitting all movements except axial rotation ; this is found at wrist , connecting radius carpal bones , base index finger .

barbiturates Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Encyclopedia Barbiturates Definition Barbiturates are medicines that act on the central nervous system and cause drowsiness and can control seizures . Purpose are in the group of medicines known as central nervous system depressants ( CNS ) . Also known as sedative - hypnotic drugs , barbiturates make people very relaxed , calm , sleepy . These drugs sometimes used to help patients relax before surgery . Some may also be used to control seizures ( convulsions ) . Although have been treat nervousness sleep problems , they have generally been replaced by other for these purposes . These may become habit forming should not be relieve everyday anxiety tension or treat sleeplessness over long periods . Description available only with a physician ' s prescription sold in capsule , tablet , liquid , injectable forms . Some commonly phenobarbital ( Barbita ) secobarbital ( Seconal ) .

If it is necessary stop drug , check instructions how stop . Precautions See a regularly while barbiturates . The will make sure working should will note unwanted side effects . Because work central nervous system , they add effects alcohol drugs that slow system , such antihistamines cold medicine , allergy medicine , sleep aids , seizures , tranquilizers , some pain relievers , muscle relaxants They also add effects anesthetics , including those dental procedures . The combined alcohol CNS depressants ( drugs slow system ) can very dangerous , leading unconsciousness even death Anyone drink his her before any classified CNS depressants . Key terms Adrenal glands Two glands located next kidneys . adrenal glands produce hormones epinephrine norepinephrine corticosteroid ( cortisone - like ) hormones . Anemia A lack hemoglobin — the compound blood carries oxygen from lungs throughout body brings waste carbon dioxide from cells lungs , where released . Central nervous system brain spinal cord . Hallucination A false distorted perception objects , sounds , events seems real . Hallucinations usually result mental disorders . Hypnotic causes sleep . Porphyria disorder which porphyrins build up blood urine . Porphyrin type pigment found living things , chlorophyll , makes plants green hemoglobin makes red . Sedative Medicine has calming effect nervousness restlessness . Seizure sudden attack , spasm , convulsion . Withdrawal symptoms group physical mental symptoms occur when person suddenly stops using he she has become dependent . Taking an overdose combining system depressants cause unconsciousness death .

Signs include : severe drowsiness breathing problems slurred speech staggering heartbeat severe confusion weakness change results certain medical tests . Before having tests , anyone this alert health care professional charge . People feel drowsy , dizzy , lightheaded , less alert when using these drugs . occur morning after barbiturate at bedtime . Because possible effects , anyone takes drive , use machines anything else might dangerous until found out how affect them . physical dependence taken over long periods . shows signs dependence his her right away : need larger doses get same effect strong desire keep withdrawal symptoms , anxiety , nausea vomiting , convulsions , trembling , problems , stopped Children especially sensitive barbiturates . This increase chance side unusual excitement . Older people more sensitive others medicine . In older people , likely confusion , depression , unusual excitement . likely ill .

bacteremia ( redirected from Blood Stream Infection Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Bacteremia Definition Bacteremia is an invasion of the bloodstream by bacteria . Description occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream . This may occur through a wound or infection , or through a surgical procedure injection . may cause no symptoms and resolve without treatment , it produce fever and other symptoms of infection . In some cases , bacteremia leads to septic shock , potentially life - threatening condition . Causes and symptoms Causes Several types bacteria live on surface skin colonize moist linings urinary tract , lower digestive tract , other internal surfaces . These are normally harmless as long as they are kept in check by body ' s natural barriers immune system . People in good health with strong immune systems rarely develop bacteremia . However , when introduced directly into circulatory system , especially person who is ill undergoing aggressive medical treatment , system not be able to cope with invasion , develop . For this reason , most common people who already affected being treated for some medical problem . In addition , treatment bring person contact new types that more invasive than those already residing that person ' s body , further increasing likelihood bacterial infection . Conditions which increase chances developing include : suppression , either due HIV infection drug therapy antibiotic therapy which changes balance bacterial body prolonged severe illness alcoholism drug abuse malnutrition diseases cause ulcers intestines , e.g . chemotherapy for cancer Common immediate causes include : drainage an abscess including abscessed tooth urinary tract infection , especially presence bladder catheter decubitus ulcers ( pressure sores ) intravenous procedures using unsterilized needles , including IV use prolonged IV needle placement use ostomy tubes , gastrostomy ( surgically making new opening into stomach ) , jejunostomy ( surgically making opening from abdominal wall jejunum ) , colostomy creating articifical colon ) . The most likely include members Staphylococcus , Streptococcus , Pseudomonas , Haemophilus Esherichia coli ( E . coli ) genera . Symptoms Symptoms fever over 101 ° F ( 38.3 ° C ) chills malaise abdominal pain nausea vomiting diarrhea anxiety shortness breath confusion Not all these usually present . elderly , confusion be only prominent symptom . lead septic shock whose include decreased consciousness , rapid heart breathing rates multiple organ failures . Diagnosis diagnosed culturing blood bacteria . Samples need tested several times over several hours . Blood analysis also reveal elevated number white blood cells . Blood pressure monitored closely ; decline pressure indicate onset septic shock Treatment no symptoms , but discovered test another condition . this situation , it not need treated , except patients at risk such those heart valve defects whose systems suppressed . Prognosis Prompt antibiotic usually succeeds clearing from bloodstream . Recurrence indicate undiscovered site Untreated spread , causing infection endocarditis pericarditis covering central nervous system ( meningitis ) . Prevention can prevented preventing infections often precede it . Good personal hygiene , during viral illness , reduce risk developing Treating infections quickly thoroughly can minimize spreading During procedures , burden falls on professionals minimize number duration invasive procedures , reduce patients ' exposure sources being treated , scrupulous technique .

Important relationships in health care are between patients , family members , the public , providers . Health professionals have three obligations for being trustworthy : ( 1 ) acting consistently for good of patient , ( 2 ) having high levels of judgment skill competence , ( 3 ) fulfilling special roles such as fiduciary one . In health care , it is essential that patients be able in discretion care workers . It impossible specify moral practice terms rules or rights alone .

magnetic resonance imaging ( redirected from Contrast MRI Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Encyclopedia Magnetic Resonance Imaging Definition Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) is the newest , and perhaps most versatile , medical imaging technology available . Doctors can get highly refined images of the body ' s interior without surgery , using MRI . By using strong magnets and pulses of radio waves to manipulate natural magnetic properties in body , this technique makes better images organs soft tissues than those other scanning technologies . MRI is particularly useful for brain spine , as well as soft tissues joints interior structure bones . The entire body visible to technique , which poses few known health risks . Purpose MRI was developed in 1980s . The latest additions technology are angiography ( MRA ) spectroscopy ( MRS ) . MRA was developed study blood flow , while MRS can identify chemical composition diseased tissue produce color brain function . many advantages include : Detail . creates precise body based on varying proportions magnetic elements different tissues . Very minor fluctuations chemical composition be determined . have greater natural contrast than standard x rays , computed tomography scan ( CT scan ) , or ultrasound , all which depend on differing physical properties tissues . This sensitivity lets distinguish fine variations deep within body . It also particularly useful for spotting distinguishing diseased ( tumors other lesions ) early their development . Often , doctors prescribe an scan more fully investigate earlier findings techniques . Scope . entire be scanned , from head toe from skin deepest recesses brain . Moreover , scans are not obstructed by bone , gas , or waste , hinder techniques . ( Although scans degraded by motion such breathing , heartbeat , normal bowel activity . ) process produces cross - sectional that sharp middle edges , even through skull . A close series these two - dimensional provide a three - dimensional view a targeted area . Safety . does not depend potentially harmful ionizing radiation , do standard x - ray CT scans . There no known risks specific procedure , people who might have metal objects their bodies . being used increasingly during operations , those involving very small structures head neck , well preoperative assessment planning . Intraoperative MRIs shown themselves safe feasible , improve surgeon ' s ability remove tumor abnormality . Given all advantages , doctors would undoubtedly prescribe frequently ultrasound scanning , but process complex costly . requires large , expensive , complicated equipment ; highly trained operator ; doctor specializing radiology . Generally , prescribed only when serious symptoms and / or negative results tests indicate need . Many times another test appropriate type diagnosis needed . Doctors may an different areas body . Brain head . because need imaging . It one few tools that see through bone ( the skull ) deliver high quality pictures brain ' s delicate tissue structures . may needed patients with symptoms brain tumor stroke , infection ( like meningitis ) . also needed when cognitive and / or psychological suggest disease ( like Alzheimer ' s Huntington ' s diseases , multiple sclerosis ) , developmental retardation suggests birth defect . provide pictures sinuses areas beneath face . Recent refinements make this form diagnostic even more evaluating patients with cancer stroke , schizophrenia epilepsy . In particular , new 3 - D approach diffusion tensor imaging , DTI , measures flow water within tissue , allowing radiologist tell where normal flow fluid disrupted , distinguish clearly between cancerous tissue . introduction DTI has led technique fiber tracking , allows neurosurgeon tell whether space - occupying tumor has damaged displaced nerve pathways white matter brain . This information turn improves surgeon ' s accuracy during actual operation . Spine . Spinal problems create host seemingly unrelated symptoms . identifying evaluating degenerated herniated spinal discs . used determine condition nerve spinal cord .

Precautions should there potential interaction between strong magnet metal objects might imbedded patient ' s force attraction certain types ( including surgical steel ) could move them cause serious injury . Metal imbedded person ' s several reasons . Medical . People implanted cardiac pacemakers aneurysm clips , who had broken bones repaired pins , screws , rods , plates must radiologist prior having scan . In some cases rod reconstructed leg ) difficulty overcome . Injury . Patients must if they bullet fragments pieces old wounds suspected presence metal , whether old recent wound , should confirmed before scanning . Occupational . People significant work exposure particles ( working grinder , example ) discuss doctor radiologist . patient need prescan testing - usually single , regular x ray eyes if any present . Chemical agents designed improve picture blood fluid MRA injected . rare cases , allergic intolerant these agents , receive them . If agents used , discuss any concerns they radiologist . potential side effects electric fields human health remain source debate . particular , possible effects unborn baby known .

DTI Also found in : Dictionary Thesaurus Legal Financial Acronyms Encyclopedia Wikipedia imaging ( im ' a - jing ) The production of a picture , image , or shadow that represents the object being investigated . In diagnostic medicine the classic technique for imaging is radiographic or x - ray examination . Techniques using computer - generated images produced by x - ray , ultrasound , magnetic resonance are also available . black blood magnetic resonance imaging Abbreviation : BB - MR Imaging of arterial walls with magnetic resonance for evidence atherosclerosis . Blood flow normally gives off a bright signal during but can be made to appear dark to distinguish it from walls surrounding blood vessels . This enhancement in can be used noninvasively show where arteries are obstructed and determine components plaque in those arteries . cerebral blood pool imaging Radionuclide brain performed after tracer molecule is injected angiographically into blood vessel that supplies brain and tracer allowed equilibrate ( achieve steady state ) brain ' s arteries veins . diffusion tensor imaging Abbreviation : DTI An technique identify unique directional movement molecules , esp . water molecules , along muscle neural tracts . One its uses identify linkages structures white matter tracts brain . diffusion weighted imaging In imaging , use changes movement water through tissues as contrast medium . Diffusion weighted has been used diagnosis strokes other neurological diseases as well abdominal musculoskeletal injuries diseases . digital imaging The capture production an image an object , either on film on computerized display , where it reformatted analyzed . Commonly modalities include x - rays , ultrasound , resonance . digital subtraction imaging radiology , use electronic means subtract portions radiographic image order better visualize object . duplex imaging A form ultrasonography incorporates both gray - scale architecture tissue color Doppler signal flow within tissue . echo planar imaging EPI A fast which acquired after single radiofrequency excitation . electrical source imaging ESI means mapping electrical activity organs such heart diagnose treat diseases such seizures dysrhythmias . ESI relies collection via external sensors electrical activity generated by multiple tissue sites within organ , mathematical manipulation data localize areas patterns conduction blocked excessively active . functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI identification metabolic activities during MRI studies brain . During fMRI , images made while subject performs specific tasks , e.g . using certain fingers saying particular words . study helps changes these activities , well chemistry molecules neural tissues . It study injuries caused cancer , multiple sclerosis , strokes , trauma . fusion imaging Any combination radiological technologies generating body structures . Fusion includes positron emission tomography - computed tomographic ( PET - CT ) scanning , CT – magnetic fusion imaging , single photon emissions computed tomographic ( SPECT ) fusion imaging . gated blood pool imaging Radioisotopic heart , esp . muscular contraction its ejection fraction . Red cells withdrawn labeled with isotope technetium . sequence taken immediately radiolabeled reinjected into peripheral vein allowed circulate . timed begin each ventricular depolarization ( with each R wave electrocardiogram ) . Normally ejection from heart occurs at same time same strength all muscle segments . Areas affected infarction may not move normally ( they may akinetic hypokinetic they move paradoxically ( they dyskinetic when ventricular aneurysm present ) . Synonym : gated blood pool study MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING : MRI cervical spine , sagittal view . MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING magnetic resonance imaging Imaging uses characteristic behavior protons when placed powerful fields make tissues organs . Certain atomic nuclei odd number neutrons , protons , both subjected radiofrequency pulse , causing them absorb release energy . resulting current passes through receiver then transformed image . This valuable providing soft - tissue central nervous musculoskeletal systems . techniques allow visualization vascular system without contrast agents . Agents gadolinium available enhancement but must caution patients renal insufficiency . CAUTION ! Magnetic contraindicated patients cardiac pacemakers ferromagnetic aneurysmal clips place . Metal become damaged testing ; therefore , health care providers must establish whether patient has magnetizable metal anywhere body . Patients should not wear metal objects , e.g. , jewelry , hair ornaments , watches . Patients who have had surgical procedures which magnetizable clips , pins , other hardware remain body should have this imaging . Some tattoos permanent cosmetics also avoid because risk burns . Patient care During patient lies flat surface moved inside tube encompassed magnet ( the bore gantry ) . lie still possible . No discomfort occurs result MRI . Sounds heard come pulsing field scans body . Confinement 30 90 min required scanning frighten patient , talk staff microphone . Relaxation techniques help claustrophobic endure MRI . Comfort measures analgesics ( as necessary prescribed ) provided before beginning scan offset discomfort related prolonged positioning scanner . Claustrophobic require mild sedative , better managed open scanner less confining , however open devices , weaker fields than closed systems take longer obtain reveal less detail . Right angle eyeglasses , divert patient ' s gaze outside bore gantry , provide helpful diversion some patients . Most patients , however , able tolerate close confinement gantry . nurse technologist maintain verbal contact throughout procedure . An IV line no components place if patient ’ s condition unstable .
