Asthma: Taking Charge of Your Asthma
During an asthma attack, the airways swell and narrow. This makes it hard to breathe. Asthma is a lifelong problem, but it does not have to limit you. If you take charge of your asthma, you can lead a full and active life.
You and your doctor will make an asthma action plan that outlines the two approaches to taking charge of asthma:
- Controlling asthma over the long term. Daily controller medicine helps reduce the swelling of your airways and prevent attacks.
- Treating attacks when they occur. The action plan will outline the steps to take and medicine to use to treat asthma attacks.
Using the asthma action plan also helps you keep track of your asthma and know how well your treatment is working.
If you or your child has been recently diagnosed, it may seem like there is a lot to remember. But the things you need to do to take charge of your asthma are really quite simple. With some practice, they will become part of your normal routine.
There are a few tools you can use to keep track of your asthma and know how well your treatment is working. Keeping track of your asthma lets you act quickly to stop an attack before it becomes an emergency. Your doctor and asthma educator can help you make the plans and learn the skills you need.
What is an asthma action plan?
An asthma action plan tells you what controller medicine to take every day and when to take it. Controller medicine is usually an inhaled corticosteroid. Taking your controller medicine every day helps reduce the swelling of your airways and prevent attacks. The plan also tells you how to know when your asthma is not in control, how to change your treatment to prevent an attack, and what to do if you have an attack. Your action plan may also include:
- A list of your asthma triggers—the things that make your asthma worse. Avoiding triggers can help you keep your asthma under control.
- Treatment goals. Having personal goals can help motivate you to follow your plan. For example, goals might include being free of symptoms at night or being able to play sports.
- An asthma diary(What is a PDF document?). In the diary, you write down your peak flow, what symptoms you are having and what caused them, and any medicines you used.
Create your asthma action plan
You and your doctor will work together to create your asthma action plan(What is a PDF document?). An action plan has zones that are based on your peak flow or symptoms.
Your doctor can teach you the skills you need to use your asthma action plan. These include:
- How to use a peak flow meter to check your peak flow (also called peak expiratory flow or PEF). Peak flow is a measure of how open your airways are. A drop in peak flow can show that the airways have narrowed even before you have symptoms. Then you can start treatment right away to help prevent an attack.
- How to use a metered-dose inhaler or dry powder inhaler. Using a metered-dose inhaler with a spacer is an easy way to get the medicine to your lungs. But you have to use the inhaler correctly for it to work well. If you are not sure that you are using your inhaler the right way, ask your doctor to show you how. Your doctor can also tell you if you need to use a spacer with your type of inhaler.
- What symptoms to watch for. Symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or tiring quickly during exercise can mean that your asthma is not well controlled. Having these symptoms may mean that you need to see your doctor and adjust your treatment.
- How to identify, avoid, and reduce triggers.
Test Your Knowledge
It is very important to know how to use a peak flow meter.
This answer is correct.
Knowing how to use a peak flow meter is very important. A peak flow meter measures how open your airways are. A drop in peak flow can show that the airways have narrowed even before you have symptoms. This can let you treat an asthma attack early, before it becomes severe.
This answer is incorrect.

If you have ever felt that asthma controls your life, the benefits of taking an active role in your treatment can be great.
- It can help you have fewer and less severe attacks.
- It controls the inflammation in your lungs so that you have fewer asthma symptoms.
- It puts you in control so you are not limited by your disease.
Test Your Knowledge
Taking charge of asthma has only short-term benefits.
This answer is incorrect.
Taking charge of your asthma has both short-term and long-term benefits. In the short term, it can help you have fewer and less severe attacks. In the long term, it helps keep your lungs as healthy as possible and allows you to have a high quality of life.
This answer is correct.
Taking charge of your asthma has both short-term and long-term benefits. In the short term, it can help you have fewer and less severe attacks. In the long term, it helps keep your lungs as healthy as possible and allows you to have a high quality of life.
Follow your asthma action plan
- Take your daily medicines as prescribed. This can keep asthma under control and help you avoid asthma attacks.
- Keep your treatment goals in mind. This may help you stay on your treatment.
- Review your list of triggers. Avoiding triggers can help reduce the chance that you will have an asthma attack.
Check your peak flow
- Use your peak flow meter. This is the best way to check how well your lungs are working, which is called lung function. Your lung function can get worse without causing symptoms.
- Check your peak flow as often as your doctor tells you to. For many people this is twice a day, morning and evening.
- If you have trouble using your meter, talk with your doctor.
Know your asthma zones
Each time you measure your peak flow, check your action plan to see what zone you are in. If your peak flow drops below 80% of your personal best measurement, follow your action plan. To figure out what 80% of your personal best measurement is, multiply your personal best measurement by 0.80. For example, if your personal best peak flow is 400, then 80% of that is 400 times 0.80, which is 320. To figure what 50% of your personal best peak flow is, multiply your personal best measurement by 0.50.
Green means Go. You are
in the
green zone if your peak flow is 80% to 100% of your
personal best measurement.
- This is where you want to be. Keep taking your daily asthma medicines as prescribed.
Yellow means Caution. You
are in the
yellow zone if your peak flow is 50% to 79% of your
personal best measurement. You may not have any symptoms, but your lung
function is reduced. When symptoms are present, you may cough, wheeze, or feel
short of breath. Or your asthma may limit your activities or wake you up at
- You should take action. Your action plan will tell you what medicines you need to take, how much to take, and when to take them. If you keep going into the yellow zone from the green zone, talk with your doctor. You may need a different medicine or the dose of your medicine may need to be increased.
Red means DANGER. You are
in the
red zone if your peak flow is less than 50% of your personal best
measurement. You may be very short of breath. Or the quick-relief medicines may
not have worked. This is dangerous.
- Take the actions listed in your action plan. You may need to go to the emergency room or be admitted to the hospital.
Use your asthma diary
- Write down your peak flow readings in the asthma diary.
- If you have an attack, write down what caused it (if you know), the symptoms, and what medicine you took.
See your doctor to review your plan
Keep your regular follow-up appointments. During checkups, your doctor will ask if your symptoms and peak flow have held steady, improved, or gotten worse. He or she will also ask if you have asthma attacks during exercise or at night. Your doctor may want to see how you use your peak flow meter and inhaler. This information can help your doctor know if your asthma category has changed or if you need to change medicines or doses.
When you go to your doctor:
- Take your asthma action plan and your asthma diary, if you have one. Get answers to any questions you may have about your asthma plans or your symptoms. Let your doctor know if treatment is not controlling your asthma symptoms.
- Take your peak flow meter and medicines so your doctor can review your treatment and the way you use the meter and medicines.
- Make sure you know how and when to call your doctor or go to the hospital.
- Tell your doctor if you are having trouble following your action plan.
Test Your Knowledge
If you are following your action plan and using your treatment, you don't need to see your doctor for follow-up appointments.
This answer is incorrect.
Even if you are doing everything you should, you still need to see your doctor on a regular schedule. Your doctor can make sure you are getting the treatment you need to control your asthma and limit the damage to your lungs.

- For the car in GTA London, see Beagle 3.
The Beagle is an airplane found in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Beagle is a twin prop airplane based on the Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander with a modified nose. Although very slow, the Beagle can turn much faster than any other airplane in GTA San Andreas, despite not letting the player retract the landing gear. The Beagle can accommodate only two people (pilot and passenger) despite having ten seats.
The Beagle has acceptable handling, considering its large size, as well as a short takeoff distance. They are found flying all over the state and one occasionally crashes at the highest point on Mount Chiliad.
The Beagle appears in Fort Carson, Bone County, Las Venturas, due to a coding error. The airplane can be found wedged between a small house and a power pole, or a palm tree on the same lot. However, on very rare occasions, the plane can be seen on the road away from the two objects, while most of the time, if the player attempts to move it, it blows up. It is possible to release the airplane and fly it, but only with the use of two cheats; the vehicle invincibility cheat and the health/armor cheat. See the Cheats in GTA San Andreas page for the codes of the two cheats above.
- Parked by the runway in Easter Bay International Airport, San Fierro. Plane is locked until Pilot School is finished
- Spawns with one wing inside a building in Fort Carson, probably a coding error; It usually explodes upon entry, it is possible to get out but only with the use of various cheats, as explained above.
- Can be seen flying low over the player in small desert and countryside towns, and occasionally crashes into Mount Chiliad.
- The name Beagle is the same species as Snoopy of the Peanuts comic strips. Snoopy is often depicted as a "World War I Flying Ace". The name also shares the same name of a dog breed. In addition to that, Beagle was also the name of a real-life British airplane manufacturer.
- If you have a wanted level whilst flying the Beagle you will get chased by the Hydra but the Beagle is so slow that it hardly ever gets hit.

Rising tide of criticism pushes back state septic hearing
By Gus Thomson
Journal Staff Writer
Those worried about a new $325 fee for septic system inspections can breathe easier.
Facing an uprising of rural septic system users opposed to inspections and fees, the State Water Resources Control Board announced Friday an extension of a comment period on proposed measures and postponement of a Feb. 9 Sacramento hearing until further notice.
Auburn-area residents attending a town-hall meeting Thursday on septic systems and wastewater treatment options were apprised of the latest wrinkle. The control board's executive office confirmed Friday in a statement that it was taking steps to react to widespread concern among septic users about new regulations.
"As a result of a large public turnout and subsequent concerns for public safety, water board staff was unable to conduct the Jan. 27 workshop in Santa Rosa," the announcement said. "Because the water board is committed to hearing from the public on this important issue, the workshop has been rescheduled to a new date and a larger venue."
The Jan. 27 workshop and hearing in Santa Rosa has now been slated for Feb. 9, which will leave the Sacramento hearing scheduled for that date postponed until further notice from the board.
Several Placer County residents, including 5th District Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery and Wally Reemelin, president of the League of Placer County Taxpayers, had said they would address the board at the Feb. 9 hearing in Sacramento. On Thursday, Assemblyman Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, said he would attempt to repeal the 2000 legislation behind the proposed regulations.
The water board is now saying the draft package of regulations will be rewritten before the Sacramento hearing. That hearing was scheduled to be the final one on a draft that had raised hackles in rural areas. There are an estimated 1.2 million septic systems in California, including 26,000 in Auburn.
"The state water board is sensitive to the concerns raised at the public workshops and the regulations will be revised following consideration of the public comments, as appropriate," the release states.
David Vonasek, a Weimar resident who attended Thursday's hearing, said he was planning to organize a large group from his area to take part in the Sacramento hearing.
"We don't want polluted water but to punish the sins of a few by punishing the masses is crazy," Vonasek said.
Vonasek was alluding to a septic system problem in Malibu that led to an effort on a statewide basis in 2000 to regulate septic systems with inspections. Assembly Bill 885 was supported by the Sierra Club and surfers while opposed by the California Association of Realtors. The bill's proposed regulations are now drawing fire.
The proposal that has irked so many would have seen all state septic systems inspected by private contractors with a certificate being sent in by the state - similar to what occurs on smog checks. The estimated cost for a check and certificate, which was estimated to be needed every five years, was $325. Well owners would have had to pay $325 for a separate inspection.
Thursday's town-hall meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd of about 150. Jill Pahl, the county's environmental health director, said meetings over the past month on the issue that have been held throughout Placer have drawn about 1,000 people in total.
The Santa Rosa meeting was cancelled by fire officials due to overcrowding after more than 500 people showed up for a meeting in a 400-seat hall. The new venue will hold 1,500 people.
Due to end Feb. 9, the written public comment period has been extended to Feb. 23 at noon.

Preaching and the Literary Forms of the Bible
Fortress Press, 1989 - Religion - 144 pages
Long argues that the literary form and dynamics of biblical texts can and should make a difference in the kinds of sermons created from those texts, not only because of what the texts say but because of how they say it. He presents a methodology for taking the literary characteristics of biblical texts into account in the text-to-sermon process and then applies that methodology in separate chapters on preaching on psalms, proverbs, narratives, parables, and epistles.

Calculate the amount of air exchange needed (Volume) in order to adequately ventilate the area.
CFM (Per Fan)
To calculate the Volume required to adequately ventilate an area, we divide the room volume by the appropriate "Minutes per Change" value.
[Volume] = [Room Volume] / [Min./Chg.]
Step One: Determine Room Volume
Step Two: Determine Minutes per Change
Step Three:
Number of Fans:
Calculate the amount of static pressure the fan must overcome..
Static Pressure:
The pressure generated by fans in ductwork is typically very small. An accurate measurement of static pressure is critical to proper fan selection however. Static pressure in fan systems is typically less than
2'' SP, or 0.072 Psi.
The amount of static pressure that the fan must overcome depends on the air velocity in the ductwork, the number of duct turns (and other resistive elements), and the duct length. For properly designed systems with sufficient make-up air, the guidelines in the table below can be used for estimating static pressure.
Step One: Total Pressure Due to Ductwork
Step Two: Pressure From Fittings and Other Resistive Elements

In fits and starts, Maine's seaweed industry is growing. Entrepreneurs are trying to create new markets for seaweed-based products, like fertilizers, pet medicines, condiments, even granola. But as harvests rise off Maine's coast, so do some concerns that the resource needs protection. Fred Bever reports.
It's a busy morning at Saco's winter farmer's market, where Tom Roth sets up the tables and display stands that carry the numerous seaweed-based products he and his wife Kelley make and sell under the name "VitaminSea."
From seaweed-accented salts to nutritional supplements for pets, Roth's offerings are popular. Even the hot-dog lady at her cart outside the market's door is a fan.
"Hey how are you?" Roth says, greeting Sandra Specken. "Good," Specken replies. "I was telling your wife my daughter's coming today, just to buy that sea stuff."
"Hey we'll sell it to you wholesale," Roth says. "Come on now."
The big hit is a granola bar made with seaweed, blueberries and dark chocolate. The Roths had been baking as many as 1,000 bars a month. They now expect to triple their sales.
Roth collects the seaweeds himself, and contracts with harvesters up and down the coast to bring in a wide variety of edible sea plants. "We have dulse, we have aleria, we have kombul, so there are several different varieties we harvest at different times of the year," he says.
These seaweeds are not necessarily an easy sell, particularly to the uninitiated. That's where Rod Williams comes in. "On several new food products we're very cautiously playing down the fact that there's seaweed in the product," Williams says.
Williams was one of the branding pioneers who helped get Tom's of Maine products noticed by national markets, and more recently he's been doing the same for Kate's Butter. Now he's a VitaminSea investor.
"VitaminSea - the challenge there is to get to the people who are interested in heath and nutrition, to appeal to that category of buyers," he says. "But also do it on a subtle basis to reach out to the mass market, who may not want to try anything with vitamin-seaweed, to get them to try it. Once they try it they are hooked on it, they love it."
While demand for seaweed used in health foods is on the rise, Roth still relies on lower-profit, bulk harvests of rockweed, a seaweed variety that's used strictly for animal or agricultural purposes. It's the plant with the matted fronds you see draping across barnacles when the tide goes out on a rocky shore.
Roth still harvests rockweed by hand, sometimes, and brings it back here, to a wharf behind Becky's Diner in Portland. He sells it to local lobster packers. "We just do this because it fills a void," he says. "It's exactly how we started before we moved on to bigger equipment. So here we are back in the beginning."
But it's the modern mechanical harvester Roth bought a few seasons ago - a sort of super wet-vac - which allows him to collect and sell rockweed in massive quantities, some 200 tons this year. He dries it on outdoor racks and sells it as fertilizer, or as a nutritional supplement for cattle. He gets about $1,100 a ton.
That"s pretty good money, and Roth is not the only one who's expanding use of the resource. "We've estimated that the value of the fishery is probably like $20 million a year - animal feed, supplements, nutritional foods, health items, those sorts of things," says
Linda Mercer, science director for the Department of Marine Resources.
Mercer says the number of seaweed harvesting licenses issued in Maine has been growing - to 114 this year. And while Mercer says that seaweed is abundant along the coast, there are concerns about overharvesting of the relatively slow-growing rockweed. The state now requires harvesters in Cobscook Bay to file management plans, following reports that some patches were damaged by aggressive cutting.
"The plants are at the very base of the food-web, so when you start talking about cutting down the base of the food-web, that's when people like me start to get very nervous," says Robin Seeley, a Cornell specialist based at the school's marine lab on Appledore Island, off the Maine coast. She says the growing rockweed harvest may be a threat to the entire ecosystem.
"Rockweed in particular has functions that range across 150 other species. So when you take the rockweed you start to affect potentially 150 other species that depend on it," Seeley says.
Seeley would like to see a moratorium on rockweed cutting until more extensive research is done on the effects of its harvest, and stronger regulations are created.
Harvesters like Tom Roth say that's not necessary. "People are starting to see that you can earn a living processing and handing sea plants. You've just got to handle them correctly. I think an apprenticeship, maybe, is something that should go into effect, like they do with lobsters. They have to serve an apprenticeship before they get a license."
DMR's Linda Mercer says an apprenticeship program might be a good idea. Her agency is working on an comprehensive assessment of the state's rockweed fishery and may propose a statewide management plan next year. After that, she says, the state will take a look at how best to manage other seaweed varieties as well.

How ConcurrentHashMap is implemented in Java
ConcurrentHashMap putifAbsent example in Java
See Core Java for Inpatients for more details about how to use this method effectively:
one more thing I want to share Javin...
interviewer was possibly expecting a simple answer, such as:
•if the whole map is synchronized for get/put operations, adding threads won't improve throughput because the bottleneck will be the synchronized blocks. You can then write a piece of code with a synchronizedMap that shows that adding threads does not help
•because the map uses several locks, and assuming you have more than one core on your machine, adding threads will improve throughput
The example below outputs the following:
Synchronized one thread: 30
Synchronized multiple threads: 96
Concurrent one thread: 219
Concurrent multiple threads: 142
So you can see that the synchronized version is more than 3 times slower under high contention (16 threads) whereas the concurrent version is almost twice as fast with multiple threads as with a single thread.
It is also interesting to note that the ConcurrentMap has a non-negligible overhead in a single threaded situation.
This is a very contrived example, with all the possible problems due to micro-benchmarking (first results should be discarded anyway). But it gives a hint at what happens.
public class Test1 {
static final int SIZE = 1000000;
static final int THREADS = 16;
static final ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(THREADS);
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
System.out.println("Concurrent one thread");
addSingleThread(new ConcurrentHashMap ());
System.out.println("Concurrent multiple threads");
addMultipleThreads(new ConcurrentHashMap ());
System.out.println("Synchronized one thread");
addSingleThread(Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap ()));
System.out.println("Synchronized multiple threads");
addMultipleThreads(Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap ()));
private static void addSingleThread(Map map) {
long start = System.nanoTime();
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
map.put(i, i);
System.out.println(map.size()); //use the result
long end = System.nanoTime();
System.out.println("time with single thread: " + (end - start) / 1000000);
private static void addMultipleThreads(final Map map) throws Exception {
List runnables = new ArrayList<> ();
for (int i = 0; i < THREADS; i++) {
final int start = i;
runnables.add(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
//Trying to have one runnable by bucket
for (int j = start; j < SIZE; j += THREADS) {
map.put(j, j);
List futures = new ArrayList<> ();
long start = System.nanoTime();
for (Runnable r : runnables) {
for (Future f : futures) {
System.out.println(map.size()); //use the result
long end = System.nanoTime();
System.out.println("time with multiple threads: " + (end - start) / 1000000);
@Saral Saxena, great comment. Yes, you are right on single threaded environment, ConcurrentHashMap is tough slow than Hashtable and HashMap. On scalability front, it achieves using concurrency level by dividing Map into segment, with each segment having its own lock.
Thanks Javin,..As I have shown in the above example the two methods simply add 1 million entries to the map. the first one is run in the main thread, the second one is run with an executor service that has 16 threads. To try make to help the CHM, I count with a step of 16 (so one thread will put 0, 15, 31 etc, the second thread 1, 16, 32 etc) which should reduce lock contention and associate each thread with one lock (there are 16 locks, based on the hashcode of the key modulo 16). Note that the effect is more pronounced with more threads (with 100 threads, the sychronized version really suffers).
In your code snippet, doesn't the "synchronized(map)" part actually lock the map? If you want your example to be relevant, shouldn't the if {} else {} be without the synchronized() block?
Hi @mattnguyen, if you don't synchronized then that code snippet will create data race, where one thread calling get() getting null, just before another thread putting value, which result in overriding that value. synchronized is required to get the desired functionality, i.e. only insert,if not present.
Did any one really faced questions like How ConcurrentHashMap works or internal implementation of ConcurrentHashMap in Java interview? is that a real question or hypothetical?
8. ConcurrentHashMap doesn't allow null as key or value.!!
Then how the putIfAbsent will work, the example you gave..if(map.get(key)==null)
@suresh, yes I faced these questions in an interview recently
Does ConcurrentHashMap uses ReadWriteLock internally for allowing multiple thread to read and block only for writers? I am not sure, but thought this may be a good question here.
@Anonymous, ConcurrentHashMap doesn't use ReadWriteLock, instead it uses multiple tables (arrays) known as Segment, each with there own lock. This concept is known as lock-stripping, this means, you don't need to lock whole map during write operation, only relevant segment gets locked. This is optimized for more reading than updating activity. Even a call to size() may perform poor because, in worst case a call to size() may lock all segment for calculating entries in each segment and then adding them up. As I said, ConcurrentHashMap is optimized for multiple readers with few writers.
Just want to high light one important limitation of ConcurrentHashMap, client side locking is not possible as there is no lock, which can guard whole map. Though this limitation is somewhat addressed by adding ConcurrentMap interface and providing atomic function for compound operations e.g. putIfAbsent(), remove() or replace(key, oldValue, newValue)
Don't use ConcurrentHashMap, instead create your own concurrent Map by using ReentrantReadWriteLock and high performance Map based on your need e.g. EnumMap, primitive maps from trove library.
"concurrent retrieval may not reflect most recent change on Map"
That's imprecise and misleading.
From the Javadoc:
"Retrievals reflect the results of the most recently completed update operations" (for put() and remove()).
"For aggregate operations such as putAll and clear, concurrent retrievals may reflect insertion or removal of only some entries"
on one hand, you have said that CHM has concurrent reads and THREAD SAFE writes, on the other hand you said "Since update operations like put(), remove(), putAll() or clear() is not synchronized".
if updates are not synchronized then how come it has thread safe writes?
Being a Java programmer and Software developer, I have learned a lot from articles titled as What Every Programmer Should Know about ..... ...

Wow! Very nice. I hope I can make something like that eventually. Even though it isn't completely original, I still say that it is awesome since you had to put all the pieces together.
I'm still uncertain about whether I like the shaded stairs. My mind doesn't automatically pick the angle that they should be.
