Imaging Instruments.
Category : 12th Class
Major advancements in the medical sciences have been the development of new imaging techniques that provide detailed pictures of internal organs.
(1) X-rays
(i) Following their discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist in 1895, X-ray became an important tool for medical diagnosis.
(ii) X-ray are a form of electromagnetic radiation of extremely short wavelength.
(iii) When a beam of X-rays is directed at a part of the body such as chest, the rays are absorbed more by dense structures such as the ribs or heart muscles than by less dense structures such as the skin or lungs.
(iv) This causes shadows of variable intensity to be cast on a photographic film.
(v) X-rays cause no sensation when passed through body tissues.
(vi) Large or frequent radiation doses may damage the skin and internal organs and may cause cancer in later life.
(vii) The study of X-rays for detection and treatment of disease is called radiology.
(viii) X-ray imaging in the simplest form is commonly employed for diagnosing diseases of the heart, lungs and detection of bone and joint injuries.
(ix) Nowadays, the risk involved in having X-rays is extremely small; radiation doses are kept to a minimum.
(2) Computed Tomographic Scanning (CT)
(i) CT scanning was developed by Godfrey Hounsfield of Britain in 1968 (Nobel Prize in 1979).
(ii) This technique combines the use of X-rays with computer technology to produce a two or three-dimensional clear cross-sectioned image of an area.
(iii) Computed tomographic scanning is also known as CAT (Computed Axial Tomography).
(iv) CT scanning provides clearer and more detailed information than X-rays.
(v) Another advantage of CT scanning is that it tends to minimize the amount of radiation exposure.
(vi) CT scanning can be used to obtain images of any part of the body.
(vii) CT scanning helps in the diagnosis of diseases of brain, spinal cord, chest and abdomen.
(viii) This technique is also extremely useful in detecting tumour and monitoring the extent of their spread to surrounding tissues and organs.
(3) Positron Emission Tomographic Scanning (PET)
(i) PET scanning was developed by Louis Sokoloff of USA in 1985.
(ii) PET is a diagnostic technique based on detection of positrons (positively charged electrons) emitted by radio isotopes such as carbon 11, nitrogen 13 or oxygen 15 generated by the cyclotron.
(iii) These radio isotopes are then incorporated by chemical methods into biological molecules such as glucose, amino acids, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
(iv) These positron emitting compounds are injected into the blood-stream and are taken up in greater concentration by areas of tissues that are more metabolically active.
(v) PET scanning provides three- dimensional images that reflect the metabolic and chemical activity of tissues beings studied.
(vi) PET scanning is particularly valuable for measurement of regional cerebral blood volume, blood flow, metabolic rates of glucose and oxygen in humans.
(vii) PET scanning is used for detecting tumours, for locating the origin of epileptic activity within brain and for examining brain function in various mental illnesses.
(viii) Recently PET scanning has been used to locate colour-processing centers in human visual cortex.
(4) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
(i) MRI was originally discovered in 1946 independently by Felix Bloch and Purcell in USA.
(ii) MRI is a diagnostic technique that provides high-quality cross-sectioned or three-dimensional images of organs and structures without using X-rays or other radiation.
(iii) This technique exploits the natural behaviour of the protons (nuclei) of hydrogen atoms when they are subjected to a very strong magnetic field and radio waves.
(iv) The most abundant source of protons in the body are hydrogen atoms in water molecules.
(v) An MRI scan reflects differences in the water content of tissues.
(vi) A newer application of MRI known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) relies on the detection of other chemical elements such as phosphorus and calcium.
(vii) The patient lies down surrounded by massive electromagnets and is exposed to short bursts of powerful magnetic field and waves.
(viii) The bursts stimulate protons (hydrogen nuclei) in the patient's tissues to emit radio signals.
(ix) The signals are detected and analyzed by a computer to create an image of a "slice" of the patient's body.
(x) In imaging NMR is superior to CT scanning; it generally gives much greater contrast between normal and abnormal tissues, it is free from radiation hazards and images can be obtained in any plane unlike CT, which is restricted to cross-sectional imaging.
(xi) There are no known risks or side effects of MRI.
(xii) MRI is a costly test that is not yet widely available.
(xiii) MRI is especially useful in studying brain and spinal cord. It can clearly differentiate between white and gray matter.
(5) Ultrasound Scanning
(i) This is also known as echography or sonography and uses inaudible high-frequency sound waves in the range of 1-15 million hertz.
(ii) Ultrasound waves are produced by the piezoelectric effect when an electric potential is applied to crystals of lead zirconate.
(iii) Ultrasound waves are emitted by a device called a transducer which is placed on the skin over the part of body to be viewed.
(iv) The transducer contains the crystals of lead zirconate that converts an electric current into sound waves.
(v) The transducer crystal is made to oscillate back and forth.
(vi) Some of the waves are reflected at tissue boundaries, so a series of echoes are returned.
(vii) The transducer also acts as a receiver, converting these echoes into electrical signals, which are processed and displayed on a screen of a monitor to give a two-dimensional image.
(viii) Ultrasound imaging is useful in diagnosing the diseases of the brain, kidney stones, gallstones, cirrhosis, intestinal obstruction, fallopian tubes, uterus etc.
(ix) Ultrasound has wide applications in medicine and is especially useful in obstetrics.
(x) This technique offers no known risk to the baby and is often performed at about 16 to 18 weeks to reveal multiple pregnancy and foetal abnormalities like anencephaly and spina bifida.

text: Technology and innovations are commonly considered as a long lasting revolution, but actually it is an evolution being improved constantly. The world in which we are currently living in is a result of this evolution and a continuously changing base for the future's evolution. It cannot be denied that technology has completely improved our lives in every aspect , and the influence of modern innovations has left a significant scar on the medical industry also . Saving millions of lives around the world, preventing the spread of viruses, allowing more accurate diagnosis to be efficient, and providing much better health care are just some of the great pros that medical inventions and new technologies have made on our modern world. However with new medical devices being invented or improved and introduced to the healthcare industry on a regular basis, it's hard to keep tracking of all of the good and helpful innovations that are been doing the most significant impact on the lives of individuals throughout the entire world. Anyways, what are some of there inventions, how have they been influencing medical industry and what are their pros? The answers are mentioned below precisely about some of the greatest medical inventions from life-saving drugs, to the artificial heart, MRI and CT technologies. First of all, what is Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)? This medical innovation is a test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves with a computer to make detailed and precise researches and pictures inside your body. Specialist doctors use this test to diagnose your disease or to see how well you've responded to treatment you have been undergoing. What makes this process safer and a better choice is that unlike X-rays and CT scans, an MRI doesn't use radiation. On the other hand everyone asks the main and important question, why would someone get an MRI? MRI helps a doctor to diagnose a disease or injury in a much more precise way, and it can monitories how well you're doing with a treatment and if you are over with it or not. Jus like the older processes MRIs can be taken from different parts of your body. In addition, based on the different absorption of x ray by different tissues, computed tomography (CT) imaging, which is also known as "CAT scanning" (Computerized Axial Tomography), provides a different form of imaging known as cross-sectional imaging. The origin of the word "tomography" is from the Greek word "tomos" meaning "slice" or "section" and "graphe" meaning "drawing." This process provides precise views of different parts of the body in a sectioned form. Secondary, an artificial heart is a medical invention which consists on a device that is implanted into the human body to replace the biological heart. It is equipped with a cardiac pump, which is a device that is used to provide the functions of both the heart and the lungs at the same time. Nevertheless, the cardiac pump provided should not be connected to both blood circuits. At the same time, the provided cardiac pump is only suitable for uses not longer than some hours, while the artificial heart's current life lasting record is 17 months long. The artificial replacement for an original and functional mammalian heart (usually human),is still one of the long lasting goals of modern technological medical industry. Even though the heart is basically a simple organ, it provides complex functions that defy straightforward absorption using artificial materials and energy supplies. The obvious effective benefit of a functional synthetic heart would be to slow the need for heart transplants, because the request for donor hearts mostly requests supply. In addition, antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the treatment that consists of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) using anti-HIV drugs. The standard function of this treatment consists of a combination of at least three drugs that fight HIV replication. Three drugs that are used in order to effectively reduce the likelihood of the virus evolution resistance. The treatment has the potential to both be reductive and also effective rates between HIV-infected people, and to improve their quality of life. The most interesting one is the minimally invasive robotic surgery, it is a conventional c procedure, several thin instruments are inserted, along with a small camera that provides video attached to a telescopic device, through an incision around the area to be cut. The camera transmits images of the internal body and organs in a monitor, and the image is used as a guide to lead into a good performance of the procedure. During surgeries assisted by robots, the surgeon sits at a console in the operating room and remotely controls and manipulates tiny specialized instruments attached to robotic arms while a powerful camera provides magnified 3-D images of the area and the surrounding nerves and tissues. As a conclusion, the inventions explained above are processes or devices that are improving individual's life. Medical industry with the effect of these inventions has made to evolve through years and centuries. In a retrospective of the times when individuals used to lose their life as a result of insufficiency of medical devices or even drugs, compared to nowadays the medical industry is improving day by day. To conclude, technology with its pros and cons combined together is a crucial factor that is making every brunch of our lives suitable to the new generation and the near future.

Red Deer's new outdoor pickleball facility will be built at Motorworks Fields at St. Joseph High School. The site was approved by Council at this evening's regular meeting.
"A new pickleball facility is a win for Red Deer," said Shelley Gagnon, Recreation, Parks and Culture Manager. "Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in North America, and this facility will ensure we can meet the increased demand for the sport in our community."
At the 2018 Capital Budget debate last year, Council approved a new pickleball facility, including a preliminary budget of $1,015,000, subject to site selection. Now that a site has been selected, an additional $335,000 was approved to complete the project. The additional budget will cover the development costs for the 20 courts, a washroom facility and a parking lot.
Several locations were considered and evaluated for the facility, but when considering the benefits and challenges of each site, community feedback, financial considerations and stakeholder input, St. Joseph High School emerged as the preferred site.
"The sites we considered all had advantages and challenges," said Gagnon. "While it wasn't one of our original site locations, we began focusing on St. Joseph based in part on the feedback we heard from the community and stakeholders about the other locations. This site provides synergy with the existing and future schools and adjacent commercial areas, and also adds a community amenity to a growing area of the city."
The facilility, which will include 20 courts, will be able to host tournaments, including the potential for a National Championship, and provides opportunities for use by the public and interested schools and community groups.
Construction is expected to start this summer, and will be completed in spring 2019. The Red Deer Pickleball Club will continue to be based at the Pines Activity Centre until the new courts are complete. Club activities will include programmed scheduling throughout the week and an annual tournament slated for August 10-12, 2018.

Should You Take Prenatal Yoga Exercise Classes? - 12 Jan 2019 20:27

When would be the best time to form an LLC, after first property? Should I purchase with personal credit then quitclaim to the LLC to start out? Does it help business credit to do this? Any recommendations would be great.
Even in good markets, for most LLCs, banks are going to require your personal guarantee regardless.
However, having the property in an LLC is good liability protection for you personally for liabilities other than the mortgage debt.
Here's what I mean. If you own the property in your own name, if someone slips and falls on your property, or if there's an environmental problem that insurance doesn't cover (and they don't cover much–read the "pollution exclusions" in your policy), then you are personally on the hook. Environmental laws are particularly nasty, and the EPA and state agencies don't care who caused the problem, if you own it, you are liable.
On the other hand, having your property in an LLC will protect you personally from the slip and falls and environmental problems (assuming that you weren't personally dumping stuff on the property yourself).
In terms of the right order to do things in? Either way will probably work. If you're interested in building business credit, I would suggest having the LLC take out the loan. Understand that you will have to personally guarantee it, but at least the LLC will be building a credit record, and you will have insulated yourself from all liabilities associated with the property EXCEPT the mortgage note you personally guaranteed.

I have been making a conscious effort to give myself permission to quilt more, to spend more time with people that quilt, and to spend more time with people that help "fill my well".
THis is coming about for several reasons, the most significant one is that I want to be more "present". (I read something once that in being more present, you get your ego to take a backseat.) I am generally a planner by nature – in my head at least – I plan how my day will go (and this can go askew, but it is a starting point). If I am using a commercial quilt pattern to satisfy my quilting urges, I go through the directions, and quite often will "assembly line" this – I will do all of the cutting at first. I then will often piece several different blocks, at once, and then do a group pressing, then back to the sewing machine, etc. I rarely will try to complete one complete block at a time, but as a rule, am willing to wait to see the results. And, in doing this planning, I am working towards my finished goal. Am I necessarily "present" while I am doing all of the steps to the finished blocks? Hmm- good question. I tend to think I let my mind wander…..
I was speaking with a friend of mine yesterday, and encouraging her to take some time in her crazy schedule to see more of her new niece. In essence, I was trying to tell myself more than anything that I need to spend more time with the people that matter. To enjoy the moment here and now.
And, I am lucky that in many cases, the people that matter to me enjoy quilting or enjoy if I share my work, my process, my inspiration, or in general are amazing support systems, and have been throughout my life.
I spent a weekend in Vermilion this month, where the guild members of Vermilion's quilt guild are amazingly welcoming. I have known several of its members for years, and am so lucky that one member is always willing to let me bunk at her house when their guild has a "Quilt Till You Wilt" weekend. It helps fill my well of creativity when I am surrounded by similar souls, and I can see their amazing work unfold through the weekend.
At the beginning of April, my mom came up to Edmonton and joined me for a Ricky Tims day of lectures and an evening concert. My mom quilts too and I am hoping that she enjoyed the day, and the bit of the break from the farm, as much as I did. And I think we both enjoyed being present and in the moment during Ricky's stories, which were amazing. (I will try to add links in later – please forgive me for not being good at this yet.)
on Easter weekend, I met my mom at the Red Deer Quilt Show, where she and a friend toured around the show with me. I also met up with the Western Canadian SAQA Rep, who lent me SAQA Trunk Show F to share with fellow quilters in several venues.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Edmonton and District Quilt Guild meeting, where I shared this Trunk Show, as well as listened to a wonderful speaker as part of their evening program.
I have been actively filling up my well with wonderful inspiration, and support by quilty people. And, when I am surrounded by fabric, and incredible designs, I have no choice but to be present and revel in the moment.
I wish everyone a chance to do some revelling of their own. Be in the moment with something or someone you love.

After caging countless of people over the past few weeks at MCR, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to have found myself in a cage as well. I was just visiting Samantha when I was grabbed and ended up in a cage for a few hours. Mironaa took advantage of seeing me caged and teased me but at least I was able to see the transformed myggen as a girl *giggles*
Later, Karin came by so I invited her into the cage with me which she accepted without any choice. I was a little nervous seeing Mironaa, Amy and Abby waiting outside looking like lions waiting to have something to eat.

By THE NATION
Commerce Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong said that he had met with politicians on different occasions, including during this week's Cabinet retreat in Ubon Ratchathani province. He added that he had discussed with them what should be done for the country.
Sontirat said that in Ubon early this week he met Supol Fong-ngam, a former Pheu Thai Party MP for the northeastern province.
Supol defected from Pheu Thai and voiced his support for Prime Minister Prayut.
Sontirat said the government needed to talk with and listen to politicians, because politicians are close to the people. Input from politicians allows the government to learn about the needs of people in different areas of the country, he added.
Such information would help the government to determine what should be done during its remaining time in power, said the commerce minister.
"We [the government] have to work with all sides. In fact, many political parties want General Prayut to be prime minister [again]. But what we have to do is to make sure that the different parties have the chance to help push this government's policies continuously, such as the mega-projects like the Eastern Economic Corridor [EEC]," Sontirat said.
"We want government policies to be implemented without interruptions. We want the country to move forward," Sontirat said. "One of the problems of our country is lack of continuity in government policies. And that's a weak point for Thailand."
He did not confirm his reported connection with Palang Pracharat, a political party in the making whose founders are planning to nominate Prayut as their prime ministerial candidate at the next election.
Sontirat dismissed as a rumour media reports that he was going to become secretary-general of Palang Pracharat.
"When I am ready to accept the position, I will tell the media. I have not made my decision," he said.
When asked about the progress of the new party in the making, Sontirat said he would talk to the media about the matter "when the time is right". He added that he would base his decision on the future situation.
Meanwhile, Prayut, who also heads the ruling junta National Council for Peace and Order, yesterday said that the public "should not allow bad people to besiege Government House again".
The PM did not elaborate, but he was clearly referring to anti-government protesters who often gathered around the government head's office to press their demands.
Most previous governments over the past decade shared the same experience, with rival yellow-shirt and red-shirt protesters taking turns to rally outside Government House.
Prayut was speaking to a group of people helping clean the perimeter walls of the premises. "We are cleaning up Government House already. Don't allow bad people to surround it again," he said.
The premier also said that his actions had no political motives, as he aimed to create benefits for the country as a whole.
"This government has no desire to benefit anyone in particular," he added.

Double jeopardy not in effect for bulletproof vest charge
UB Councilor and Lecturer, twenty-eight year old Leon Leslie was once again picked up from his home and charged for keeping prohibited material. It all stems back to January sixteenth when police claimed they found a bulletproof vest in his vehicle. On July twentieth, the arresting officer failed to show up to testify and Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer dismissed the charges against Leslie. But early this morning, acting on directives from the off of the DPP, the matter was brought back and Leslie was rearrested and charged with the same offense. This time he appeared before Magistrate Dorothy Flowers in the presence of his attorney, Ellis Arnold. Magistrate Flowers became concerned and asked about the length of time that has passed since the incident occurred. Arnold told the judge that he will be looking into that aspect of the charge among other issues that he intends to address in court at the next session. Leslie was given bail in the sum of two thousand dollars plus one surety of the same amount. When we spoke with Arnold outside the courtroom this morning he said that he was not given a reason as to why his client was rearrested on the same charge. The case was adjourned until August twenty-fifth.

The universe of business marketing has entered a new era during the past decade or so, and the Internet most definitely has its place in this changing dynamic. Companies have typically included mail, website, email, and telesales promotions in their marketing mixes. They have widened their promotional scopes to include the amazingly popular social networking web pages currently dominating the world wide web. It is of interest to provide a detailed discussion of each of these promotional methods and their surrounding trends.
Direct mail, whether it be in the form of a brochure, postcard or catalog, has traditionally been a mainstay of businesses' marketing mixes. There is nothing like having a tangible and colorful marketing piece on hand that effectively communicates what a company is trying to sell. As more and more marketing pieces are sent electronically today, it is rather refreshing to receive a promotional piece in the mail, especially if it is personalized as in the case of a letter. However, the increasingly high cost of direct mail has caused many businesses to cut back on this form of promotion. There are design, printing, postage, copywriting, mailhouse, and mailing list costs to consider when sending out direct mail pieces. All of these costs have gone up in recent years.
Websites are another prominent form of business marketing. Sites should be designed effectively, allowing users to navigate them easily. Another must is that the HTML code used in building a website should be constructed in such a way so as to optimize word searches. The end goal of this action is to have a website come up high on a search list after a person types some keywords into one of the major search engines. It is a must for businesses big and small to have a quality website as part of their marketing mix.
Electronic communications, or emails, are another important component of a company's marketing activities. As opposed to mail pieces, emails tend to be cheap to send out, and they can be sent out right away. They are an inexpensive method of getting the word out quickly. Emails need to have subject lines and content that stand out, as they will be one of many electronic promotions that are sent out by businesses. They should furthermore not have any elements in their subject lines that can make them end up in someone's spam folder. Spam considerations as well as the high volume of email marketing pieces that already go out are two cons of using email promotions in fact.
Telemarketing promotions can also be used to promote businesses. This involves a company's hiring salespeople to call other businesses or individuals in the quest to sell the organization's products or services. These salespeople either work off of hot lead lists containing past customers or they make cold calls to brand new prospects. They typically have to fulfill a certain quota of sales each month, or they could possibly be terminated. A sales team in many cases is responsible for a sizable portion of a company's profits. Where telemarketing is concerned, a company has to think about hiring a top sales director who will motivate his or her staff to the fullest.
Fax promotions are also a part of business marketing mixes though to a much lesser extent than in years past. It is typically easier to get a list of qualified direct mail or email opt-ins than it is to get one for faxes. A lot of people are concerned about faxes jamming up their machines, and the last thing that they want to see is a sales piece from a business as the cause of a fax machine clog up. Fax laws in recent years have also placed great restrictions on the amount of faxes which can be sent out.
In addition to all of the promotional vehicles discussed that are a part of the business marketing mix, social networking sites have of late proven to be useful promotional tools for companies. Companies large and small can set up pages on one of the sites. These pages can possibly contain information about a company and its offerings along with a hyperlink to the business's website. Photos of the business's products can also be stored on the page. A company can invite friends to join its page initially, something especially done in the case of a small business. The business's place on a social networking site can be promoted in its other marketing materials as well.

Regular problems that undergraduate will identify
«I'm placing personally via college.» «I pay off my own personal lease.» You think proud announcing this, but that's more or less truly the only perk being a doing informative speech idea work university student. If you are trying to match work and uni with the twenty four hours to use, it's an daily have difficulties (anyway, these 5 tasks are easier to stability with reports). So, here i will discuss most losing concerns each operating college student will figure out.
No 100 % free Week-ends. Ever
Your roommates snooze until evening, keep in your bed seeing Netflix and enjoying pizza, or dancing the night time away from you. That's specifically what saturdays and sundays are for. You, quite the opposite, get into gear at 7 a.m. on Sunday and drag your miserable, worn out self for work. So unfounded.
Route Trips with Friends Are Out
Remember the time while you could automatically carry on a highway trip along with your buddies, since you obtained plenty of time left immediately after uni (and then your training weren't that essential, really)? Effectively, those days are gone. Whichever your mates are arranging now, you can't make sure it is, for the reason that you have to be at your workplace.
You're truly the only Learner in Town on Breaks
Everyone's vanished your home for those holidays, but the truth is? Noooo. You remain around, since you can't just give your work, and you just feel as if you're the only real individual who populates the town this week. You might have extra extra time now, mainly because school's out for any trips, but the truth is have zero one to devote that period with. Terrific.
No Time Remaining for Research
Instructors has to be kidding. Essays, and group of people ventures, and assessments to learn for, and displays to prepare – you'd have trouble matching everything in a day even when you didn't get the job done. And whenever one does, the goal gets to be unattainable. Your company doesn't consider 'I have a paper owed tomorrow' being a excuse, and your professor doesn't have «I actually have a job' as being an justification possibly. And what's a functioning learner expected to do?!
It's tough to work and become an individual all at once. You'll need to handle working on weekends and getaways – there's not a whole lot you can do with that. But what to do costs nothing up a little time through getting your records written and published at Grademiners.com. Don't neglect we're on this page to help you by this tough time!

Make sure that all the plumbing lines that go to your fixtures, as well as the drain lines that go out are in good shape and not in need of replacement.
The first and best, line of defense against the sun is covering up. Wear a hat with a three-inch brim or a bill facing forward, sunglasses (look for sunglasses that block 99-100% of ultraviolet rays), and cotton clothing with a tight weave.
Your heating and cooling system can use a lot of electricity. Notice how much your power bill goes up during the winter months when you start running your heater all day. Remember to switch off your heater or air conditioner when you go out and turn them off at night. Unless it is unbearably hot you might want to run your air conditioner, but you can probably do without having the heater on at night by putting extra blankets on your bed, wearing warmer pyjamas or taking a hot water bottle to bed. If you need to heat your children's rooms get a bar heater and heat only their rooms, instead of having the ducted heating on over the whole house. You can also direct the heating or cooling to the room you are using by closing the ducts and keeping doors closed.
A year back when i really wanted to buy a LCD TV the price was well beyond my budget and a luxury for someone who had just started working. But in a last couple of months when my hunt for a good bargain with a renowned brand name and affordable price started again, I realized that the prices seem to have come down considerably. With reduced prices LCD TV has been giving tough competition to plasma tv and has even overtaken them in many international markets.
Oh, Those Bugs! – Along with summer fun come summer insect bites. Be it mosquitoes, gnats, chiggers, ticks, bees, or wasps, these common culprits bite children and can make them miserable. Some insects are carriers of serious diseases, so it is best to avoid the bites when possible. There are many safe and effective insect repellents that you can use to protect your child; check with your physician for brand names. Remember to only use products that are approved for children and wash off the repellent when you return indoors. Be aware that insect repellents do not protect against most stinging insects, such as wasps, bees, and fire ants.
Now let's investigate the flip side of this. Try a humidifier one for size, so to speak, during the winter months. Yep, during those cold months you really do want the air in your home humid. Your skin draws heat more easily when the air is humid than when it is dry.
Having mold forming in your house or apartment can become quite a serious problem. There are professional people that you can call on to deal with the situation for you. An assessor can attend at your property and analyze the mold and determine the best course of treatment. Items such as dry wipe materials, HEPA vacuums and wet vacuums are common equipment used in tackling mold. It is useful to remember that after the treatment is completed there is a slight risk that mold spores that have been left in the air can cause the mold to reform.

Sunday Night
* Fewer than half the leases require companies to compensate landowners for water contamination after drilling begins. And only about half the documents have language that lawyers suggest should be included to require payment for damages to livestock or crops.
* Most leases grant gas companies broad rights to decide where they can cut down trees, store chemicals, build roads and drill. Companies are also permitted to operate generators and spotlights through the night near homes during drilling.
* In the leases, drilling companies rarely describe to landowners the potential environmental and other risks that federal laws require them to disclose in filings to investors.
* Most leases are for three or five years, but at least two-thirds of those reviewed by The Times allow extensions without additional approval from landowners. If landowners have second thoughts about drilling on their land or want to negotiate for more money, they may be out of luck.
* There is not a single new manned combat aircraft under research and development at any major Western aerospace company, and the Air Force is training more operators of unmanned aerial systems than fighter and bomber pilots combined. The drones of war.
* The New York Times on the new student activism.
* And Mitt Romney, struggling to break out of his tailspin in Florida, tests out his dog whistle. I'm genuinely curious if people see some non-racist interpretation of this claim. What does it mean to assert, in the face of all available evidence, that Barack Obama has never had a job? What would motivate Mitt Romney say such a trivially untrue thing, and what would motivate a crowd to respond approvingly? If this is racism, it is easy to understand; if it isn't racism, it's almost impossible. I think Amanda Marcotte probably had the best line on all this a few days ago, when it was Gingrich with basically the same line on Juan Williams: "Gingrich is so committed to 'black people don't work,' he claims it of a man he knows in a professional capacity." That's Romney tonight.

"I'm genuinely curious if people see some non-racist interpretation of this claim. What does it mean to assert, in the face of all available evidence, that Barack Obama has never had a job? What would motivate Mitt Romney say such a trivially untrue thing, and what would motivate a crowd to respond approvingly?"
Obviously racism is central to this claim. But it's inextricable from another sort of bias too, namely, about what is and isn't "real work". Think about what Romeny might say if called on this claim: he'd simply dismiss teaching, community organizing and being a politician as not counting as jobs. The idea that there is a parasitic elite (which David Graeber said such interesting things about in the pdf you linked to yesterday) — who may have "jobs" but don't have *jobs* — is central here. You could even argue that it's more central — I think that that Romney might say this to a white man with Obama's CV too. (I remember Robert Reich talking about a radio interview in his memor of being Labor Secretary, and someone asked him if he'd ever worked a day in his life (or words to that effect), and he mentioned he taught, and the caller took this as "no".) I don't know if I'd go that far, but I'd be tempted to.
Now, again, I'm not saying that racism isn't central to it. (A big part of demonizing the cultural elite, of course, is the usually implicit, sometimes explicit claim that one of their parasitic functions is to take money from deservnig whites and give it to undeserving blacks.) The two biases grew up together, played in a sandbox together, went to school together, and were the best men at each other's weddings: they are, as the saying goes, inseparable. But I think that the other bias is doing its fair share of the work here too.

According to FDA guidelines as listed in 21CFR 314.94 (a)(9)(iv), generic drug products mustdemonstrate pharmaceutical equivalence and bioequivalence to the reference listed drug (RLD) togain FDA approval. For generic ophthalmic solutions that are qualitatively (Q1) and quantitatively(Q2) the same as the RLD, bioequivalence is considered to be self-evident and a waiver for in vivostudies can be requested. Unlike solutions, ophthalmic suspensions/emulsions require an additionalstep of 'dissolution or 'release' before the drug is absorbed from the dosage form. Pharmaceuticallyequivalent suspensions or emulsions can have varying physicochemical properties either because ofthe differences introduced during manufacturing or formulation, which in turn may affect precornealresidence time, drug release, and ocular bioavailability. Therefore, FDA guidelines recommend thatophthalmic dosage forms such as suspensions and emulsions that are Q1 and Q2 the same as theRLD, bioequivalence must be demonstrated. However, there is sparse literature explaining how thedifferences in physicochemical properties of ophthalmic suspensions/emulsions result in differencesin ocular bioavailability. Moreover, suitable bioequivalence methods are lacking for studying genericophthalmic suspensions and emulsions. An investigation of the relationship between physicochemicalproperties and their effect on ocular bioavailability is crucial to formulate suspensions/emulsions thatare both pharmaceutically equivalent and bioequivalent. We hypothesize that key physicochemicalproperties such as particle/globule size, size distribution, viscosity, pH, and zeta potential caninfluence drug release, residence time, and stability of the suspensions or emulsions, and hence,bioavailability. To address this hypothesis, we will manufacture corticosteroid suspension andemulsion formulations with different physicochemical properties and assess their drug release,stability, and ex vivo delivery. Based on these studies, we will identify stable formulations and keyphysicochemical properties that result in significant differences in release and/or ex vivo topical oculardelivery. A physicochemical property that shows maximum differences in drug release and/or ex vivodelivery for each the suspension/emulsion formulations will be identified and assessed for in vivoprecorneal residence and ocular bioavailability in rabbits. We will employ a statistical model forpopulation pharmacokinetic analyses to calculate the bioequivalence of suspensions and emulsions.Through collaborative consultations with FDA counterparts that allow optimal design of studies, thisproject will identify key physicochemical properties of Q1 and Q2 suspension/emulsion dosage formsthat alter ocular drug bioavailability. The findings of this project would lay a foundation for developingguidelines for conducting bioequivalence studies for generic ophthalmic suspensions and emulsions.
Generic ophthalmic suspensions and emulsions with qualitatively and quantitatively similar active and inactive ingredients (pharmaceutical equivalents) may not be equivalent with innovator product in terms of rate and/or extent of drug delivered to the eye (bioavailability), that is, not bioequivalent on the basis of differences in physicochemical properties. However, literature is sparse in establishing the relationship between physicochemical properties of ophthalmic suspensions/emulsions and drug bioavailability. Therefore, this project will investigate the influence of physicochemical properties of ophthalmic suspensions/emulsions on drug bioavailability. The findings will help the FDA in the long run in establishing guidelines for the development of generic ophthalmic suspensions/emulsions that are bioequivalent to reference or innovator product.

Of Popes and Papal Bulls
The widespread practice and acceptance of both astrology and chiromancy in Italy in the Renaissance period is attested to by the interest shown by the Papacy in occult studies. At least four of the popes in the sixteenth century are known to have had an active interest in astrology, most notably Pope Paul III (1534-1549) and the three popes immediately before him, Clement VII, Adrian VI and Leo X. Pope Leo X had a personal astrologer and it is reputed that it was predicted that he would become pope by a chiromancer of the Convent of St Francis by the name of Father Serafino of Mantua.
One chiromantic author who is known to have had something of a close relationship with Pope Paul III is Antonio Piccioli, a lecturer at Bologna university circa 1530 who authored a three part work entitled 'De Manus Inspectione', eventually published in Bergamo in 1587. Such close associations between the Church and the chiromancers and astrologers of this period suggests the unlikelihood of any wholesale opposition or persecution of the practitioners of these arts by the Church itself in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
Index Expurgatorius
However, things changed rapidly with the advent of Pope Paul IV and Pope Sixtus V, both of whom issued papal edicts against the study of the divinatory sciences. Paul IV issued the Index Expurgatorius in 1559 which was a blacklist of forbidden books and studies. Whilst many of the lesser forms of divination were prohibited by this, arts such as necromancy, hydromancy and pyromancy for example, so also were chiromancy and the practice of judicial astrology. But not only was the study of these subjects 'banned', so particular authors and specific books written on these occult arts were 'banned' as well. Specific chiromantical authors whose books were blacklisted by this edict included the writings of Cocles, Corvus and Tricasso as well as the works by the German chiromancer John Indagine and the hermeticist Henry Cornelius Agrippa.
It was the Index Expurgatorius that formed the basis of the Papal Bull issued by Sixtus V in 1586 which also condemned the divinatory arts, chiromancy and the practice of judicial astrology. With the issue of a Papal Bull, the implications of the judgement from Rome acquired an even greater authority, to the point that even the possession of books on these subjects was banned! Of course, there were many reasons why the Church of Rome would have felt it necessary to enforce such censorship; some of these were undoubtedly political and social rather than purely theological. They can easily be seen as ramifications of some of the other questionable activities of the Church of Rome in this period as a whole, such as the Inquisition and the persecution of'witchcraft' that took place throughout the sixteenth century in the wake of the publication of 'Malleus Maleficarum' in 1486. Since these can readily be seen as manifestations of issues of secular power and control, it is not hard to see such literary censorship in a such a light as well. After all, these edicts closely follow on from the Reformation and the rise of Protestantism and hence the consequent diminishment of the power of the Church of Rome. It is for this reason that the greatest impact of these edicts would have been felt in Italy alone and hardly at all in the countries of Northern Europe.
Chiromancy in Italy
It is unsurprising then to find that the greater part of chiromantical interest during the Renaissance period in Italy occurred only during the earlier part of the sixteenth century! Few works seem to have been written on the subject of chiromancy by Italian authors after that of Piccioli. The more active studies of the hand at this time were going on in Northern Europe, in countries such as Germany, where the force of the Papal Bull had less effect given the new freedoms won by these countries in the post-reformation period.
By now, Papal Bulls tended to be confined in their influence to the Italian peninsular. This is not to say that chiromancy and physiognomy had fallen completely out of favour in Italy though. The publications and many subsequent reprintings of the works of the physiognomists Porta, Baldi, Ghiradelli and Spontone suggest quite the opposite, given the relation between physiognomy and chiromancy. However, there was a tendency for writers to disdain 'astrological chiromancy', perhaps as a defence against their interest in the study of the hand, and a corresponding increase in approbation for what became known as 'natural chiromancy'. This emphasised chiromancy as a tool for the description of a man's nature and inclinations, rather than as a means for prognostication. By avoiding connecting the practice with astrology and hence illicit forms of divination, and by emphasising its connection with physiognomy it would have been easier to promote the subject as a natural science and thereby continue its study in Italy, despite the stance of the Church of Rome.
One most active physiognomist who also wrote on chiromancy was Filippo Finella. Although he lived at Naples throughout much of the seventeenth century, he was in fact French and we shall treat of him later on. But there are one or two other Italian writers from this period who also deserve mention, the first being Moldenarius, who wrote a text on physiognomy and chiromancy together with further sections on metoposcopy (divination from the lines found on the forehead) and oneirocriticam (dream interpretation), published in 1616.
One Augustinus Mascardus, a professor at the university of Rome, included a physiognomy and a chiromancy in a work of 1639. Dissertation VII at p76 in his work 'Romanae Dissertationes' is an essay on chiromancy which cites Aristotle, Galen, Homer and Job 37:7 and discusses the raging debate as to the proper allocation of the planets to the various parts of the hand, especially with regard to the locations of Mars, Venus and Mercury suggested by Antiochus Tibertus as against those given by Cocles, Tricasso, Indagine and Raguseius.
A much later work on chiromancy was published at Venice in 1662 in a book entitled 'Studio di Curiosita' by Nicola Spadoni. The book is primarily a volume on astrology but it also included chapters on physiognomy, chiromancy and metoposcopy as well as sections on the interpretation of warts and moles (neomancy). The fact that such astrologically based chiromantic texts were able to be printed in Italy by this time reveals that the overriding influence of the prohibitions of the sixteenth century Papal Bulls really only lasted for just over one hundred years at the most.

Cooking legend Jacques Pépin whisks his eggs with a fork as they cook to lighten them and form small curds for a soft, creamy omelet. Slideshow: More Omelet Recipes
How to Make It
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the parsley, tarragon, chives, salt and pepper until light. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the butter and oil until the butter begins to foam. Add the eggs and cook over moderate heat, shaking the pan and stirring constantly with a fork, until tiny curds form and the eggs begin to set. Stop stirring and allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Shake the skillet to loosen the omelet and, using a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the omelet over the center. Tilt the skillet and turn the omelet out onto a large plate, folding it over itself as you release it from the pan. Cut the omelet in half and serve immediately.

To Kill a Mockingbird. In this essay, one will analyse the character of Arthur Radley (Boo) and discuss how he is displayed to the audience.
Extracts from this document...
Set in the 1940's, Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" features a man named Arthur Radley, though the people of Maycomb know him as Boo. He is portrayed as a "malevolent phantom", hence his nickname, that eats cats and is over seven feet tall. He is also described as the "town recluse and madman" which is predominantly down to rumours and distortion of truth from Maycombers. Through the use Scout's narration, one ascertains that as a teenager, Boo entangled himself with the "wrong crowd of people". The group was also described to be "the closest thing to a gang that Maycomb had seen" as they had stolen the sheriff's car. This crime led Boo to being sentenced to go to a reformatory school. However, Mr. Radley, Boo's father, convinced the judge to let him keep his son in the house instead, for it would be a disgrace to send him to the reformatory school. He was not seen, or heard of for fifteen years when he allegedly plunged a pair of scissors into his fathers legs. Arthur's actions are far removed from the children of Maycombs understanding; they simply believe that he is a freak of nature due to their naivety towards the adult world. ...read more.
At first, Jem is afraid of Boo like many others in Maycomb, describing him to be a "monster" and "squirrel eater". This demonstrates to the reader the prejudice circulating around Boo but due to the unreliable narration, the reader can determine that these descriptions are nothing but images synthesised by a child's imagination which is fuelled by the romours created by Maycombs citizens. This gives the reader a sense of condolence towards Boo. In addition, it is evident that Jem is fervidly curious about Boo in the sense that he is trying to lure him out of his house via leaving notes to him, trying to look through the window and his tyre game. This establishes to the reader just how little is known about Arthur (as Jem is attempting to dig up information on him) and how people see him as an commodity to entertain rather than a human being. This style of writing keeps the reader very curious about Boo as he is the centre of attention for the main characters. As the novel progresses, Jem's changing attitude towards Boo Radley is a vital measurement of his development from innocence towards a grown-up moral perspective. ...read more.
Avery. Furthermore, Boo doesn't make his carvings for himself; rather, he offers them as presents. Jem and Scout, on the other hand, make the snowman purely for their own enjoyment. This shows that Boo interacts with others on their terms showing how kind and sociable he is to some respects. Lee uses an elliptical technique in telling Boo's story; she hints and implies at what is happening without ever showing the reader directly (dual perspective) showing just how misunderstood Arthur is. In conclusion, the reader is given a mixed image of Arthur Radley in the first 9 chapters of the novel. The first image of Arthur is mainly composed of imprudent defamation by Maycombers and the horror-fuelled imagination's of Scout, Jem and Dill. This side of Boo describes him to be an evil man who has no other intention but to prey on the week in the early our of the morning. On the other hand, through the characters of Atticus and Miss Maudie, we see that Boo is the victim of severe parenting and neglect and is not a monster but a "gentle and kind young man". The reader also begins to see in these chapters that, Boo is the ultimate symbol of innocence (a mocking bird). ...read more.

ATHENS, Greece — A flash flood swept away a group of hikers alongside a river in southern Greece, killing at least five people, police said Sunday. Three others were missing.
The dead were identified as four women and a man, all Greek nationals.
Police said the incident occurred late Saturday as a group of 18 Greek hikers, including two guides, were walking along the banks of the Lousios River, near the village of Dimitsana in the western Peloponnese, about 110 miles southwest of Athens.
A flash flood, caused by heavy rains, struck the group as they were trying to cross the river and swept eight people away, police said. Rescuers were combing the area to locate the three missing hikers.

Supervisors responded Tuesday to an internal complaint by a county employee which alleges a partnership with the evangelical Christian school Vanguard University is discriminatory and therefore a violation of a county policy, because of the school's views on homosexuality and gay marriage.
The county has a deal with Vanguard and two other institutions, Brandman and National University, to provide county employees with reduced tuition in exchange for allowing the universities to advertise to employees in internal electronic communications.
Chris Prevatt, an LGBTQ activist and Health Care Agency employee who filed the complaint late September, says the county's own nondiscrimination ordinance should prohibit it from partnering with Vanguard University, which rejects homosexuality, gay marriage and premarital sex, according to a policy on its website.
Supervisor John Moorlach said in a phone interview that, while he is waiting to hear from the county's legal counsel, employees have three different institutions to choose from, and Vanguard is just one of them.
He also responded to a Voice of OC article about the complaint in a post titled "Tolerance," on a blog, Moorlach Update, where he regularly offers commentary on his media appearances.
"…when the LGBT community has achieved so much in recent history, it is disappointing that it appears that they are now shutting out a segment of our society," Moorlach wrote. "It is awkward to see a group that has been oppressed now becoming the oppressor. Especially when the one being oppressed preaches a doctrine of love."
Prevatt said that while he does not object to Vanguard's religious affiliation, he does object to allowing the university advertise on internal county communications.
"Pushing people to convert to a particular belief system, or to deny one's own sexual identity, does not demonstrate in my opinion anything other than religious bigotry," Prevatt said. "It's fine for folks to believe in these things, but not for it to be promoted using government resources."
Supervisor Todd Spitzer said the partnership with Vanguard would be concerning if there were not already two other schools offered to employees, although he said he would reserve his judgment until hearing from the county's legal counsel.
"If, and I emphasize if, an institution were to engage in discriminatory practices then I don't think it's an appropriate opportunity for the county to offer," Spitzer said from the dais.
Supervisors previously approved deals with Brandman and National University earlier this year. The agreement with Vanguard was completed through staff action, after supervisors granted the Human Resources department the authority to do so.
Supervisor Patricia Bates declined to comment when approached at the dais, saying she had not been briefed on the issue. Chairman of the Board Shawn Nelson and Supervisor Janet Nguyen did not return calls for comment.

Date: Feb 06, 2019 3:00pm-4:30pm
Location: Dunton Tower: Room 2203
Speaker: Josh Redstone
Title: Three Perspectives on the Turing Test
Alan Turing proposed the Imitation Game nearly seventy years ago to replace the question, "Can machines think?" (Turing 1950). In this talk, I will show that since Turing first introduced the Imitation Game – now known as the Tring test – it has been viewed in one of two ways: as an experimental test of whether a machine, i.e. a digital computer, can be said to think; and, as a thought-experiment directed at testing one's intuitions about the conceivability of thinking machines. I illustrate these two perspectives with the aim of introducing a third, novel approach toward the Turing test. This approach applies the Turing test as an experimental apparatus for learning about how people engage cognitively and emotionally with intelligent machines.
My discussion will proceed as follows. I show that the Turing test as an experimental test of machine intelligence serves as a kind of other-directed experimental apparatus. Similarly, the Turing test as thought-experiment serves as a kind of other-directed conceptual apparatus. The reason I argue these are other-directed is that they are concerned with whether a machine can be said to have a mind based upon its verbal behaviour. But I wish to change the focus of Turing's test toward the people who interact with machines, and not the machines themselves. Here, the test is meant to enable cognitive scientists to better understanding why people perceive or judge that a machine thinks or does not think, not to answer the tricky philosophical question, "Can machines think?" Thus, this application of Turing's test is "self-directed" or "reflexive." I call this the Reflexive Experimental Turing Apparatus. I shall devote the remainder of my discussion toward explaining why this application of Turing's test in fact counts as a variant of the Turing test, and toward highlighting what I believe cognitive scientists can learn by applying it as an experimental apparatus.
