United States Senate The United States Senate is the upper chamber of the United States Congress, which along with the United States House of Representatives—the lower chamber—comprises the legislature of the United States. The composition and powers of the Senate are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. The Senate is composed of senators, each of whom represents a single state in its entirety, with each state being equally represented by two senators, regardless of its population, serving staggered terms of six years; with 50 states currently in the Union, there are 100 U.S. Senators.

The difference between prevalence and incidence can be summarized thus: prevalence answers "How many people have this disease right now?" or "How many people have had this disease during this time period?" and incidence answers "How many people per year newly acquire this disease?" In science, "prevalence" describes a proportion (typically expressed as a percentage). For example, the prevalence of obesity among American adults in 2001 was estimated by the U. S.

As of 2007, the only proposals receiving serious consideration aim to facilitate travel around the existing system, such as moving Warschauer Straße's U-Bahn station closer to its S-Bahn station. There are several long-term plans for the U-Bahn that have no estimated time of completion, most of which involve closing short gaps between stations, enabling them to connect to other lines.

The House of Representatives can contain no more than one hundred members, and the representatives serve terms of two years. There is no limit to how many terms a state senator or representative may serve. There are several checks and balances built into the state constitution that limit the power of the General Assembly. Other clauses allow the General Assembly to balance and limit the authority of the other branches of the government.

are in hexadecimal. Unlike a modern stream cipher (such as those in eSTREAM), RC4 does not take a separate nonce alongside the key. This means that if a single long-term key is to be used to securely encrypt multiple streams, the protocol must specify how to combine the nonce and the long-term key to generate the stream key for RC4. One approach to addressing this is to generate a "fresh" RC4 key by hashing a long-term key with a nonce. However, many applications that use RC4 simply concatenate key and nonce; RC4's weak key schedule then gives rise to related

The song's title is derived from the popular line, "me love you long time", from the 1987 war film, "Full Metal Jacket".

Critics also noted how "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time" "recalls" the melody riff and chord progression of the "Hill Street Blues"s theme song.

On the other hand, Karimojong speakers are generally not prone to confusing "L" and "R", unlike native speakers of many other East African languages. There is a tendency to mouth a silent "O" or "U" on the end of some words ending with consonants. Adjacent vowels are usually pronounced without diphthongs. The orthography was created mainly by British Anglicans and Italian Roman Catholics. As a result, there were variations in the spelling rules.

Conservative Senator Bert Brown defended Harper's appointments and said "the only way [the Senate]'s ever been filled is by having people that are loyal to the prime minister who's appointing them." During Harper's tenure, Canada had budgetary surpluses from 2006 to 2008 of $13.8 and 9.6 billion respectively. Following the 2008 financial crisis, Canada ran deficits from 2009-2013.

infant. Tallinn paintings are preserved only in the beginning of the piece 13 of figure. It is unknown how many figure the painting originally had, how long it was, and who ordered it. As the work of the church of St. Nicholas book of accounts (1465–1520) did not mention it, it can be assumed that it was donated by a few wealthy private individuals, a guild or brotherhood. The painting was restored in 1962-1964 in Moscow by a team of restorers(P. Baranov, S. Globacheva, S. Titov, G. Karlsen) directed by V. Karaseva. Lübeck artist Bernt Notke's The Dance of Death

The psychological mechanism of conversion can be the most difficult aspect of a conversion diagnosis. Even if there is a clear antecedent trauma or other possible psychological trigger, it is still not clear exactly how this gives rise to the symptoms observed. Patients with medically unexplained neurological symptoms may not have any psychological stressor, hence the use of the term "functional neurological symptom disorder" in DSM-5 as opposed to "conversion disorder", and DSM-5's removal of the need for a psychological trigger. There are many number of different treatments that are available to treat and manage conversion syndrome. Treatments for conversion

Long-term complications of standing The long-term complications of standing are the conditions that may arise after prolonged time in a standing or upright position including standing, walking or running. Many of the complications come from prolonged standing (more the 60% of a work day) that is repeated several times a week. There are many different jobs that require prolonged standing. These included: "retail staff, Baristas, bartenders, assembly line workers, security staff, engineers, catering staff, library assistants, hair stylists and laboratory technicians."

U.S. Senator Harry S. Truman from Missouri was nominated to be President Franklin D. Roosevelt's running-mate in his bid to be re-elected for a fourth term. How the nomination went to Harry S.

U. S. stamp history. The Columbians, like all previous U. S. stamps, had been produced by private security printers on limited-term contracts periodically presented for bidding. They proved, however, to be the last U. S. stamps printed by a private company for many years. For during early 1894, the American Bank Note Company failed to secure a renewal of its stamp contract because the U. S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing submitted a lower bid; and the Bureau then enjoyed a monopoly on U. S. stamp production for decades thereafter. Not until 1944 would a private company again produce U.

X-height In typography, the x-height or corpus size is the distance between the baseline and the mean line of lower-case letters in a typeface. Typically, this is the height of the letter "x" in the font (the source of the term), as well as the "v", "w", and "z". (Curved letters such as "a", "c", "e", "m", "n", "o", "r", "s", and "u" tend to exceed the x-height slightly, due to overshoot.)

The concept of "Q" originated with K. S. Johnson of Western Electric Company's Engineering Department while evaluating the quality of coils (inductors). His choice of the symbol "Q" was only because, at the time, all other letters of the alphabet were taken.

the outside-world visual scene to the aircraft crew that are being trained. Payload weights in the case of a full flight simulator for a large transport aircraft can be up to about 15,000 kilogrammes. Similar platforms are used in driving simulators, typically mounted on large x-y tables to simulate short term acceleration. Long term acceleration can be simulated by tilting the platform, and an active research area is how to mix the two. James S. Albus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the RoboCrane, where the platform hangs from six cables instead of being supported by

communication methods. They have a tendency to form drone congregations, consisting of approximately 132 colonies. The better the environment and the more steady food supply that exists, the more reproductive swarms and more drones are formed. Based on how these swarms align, there are genetically related colonies formed around a mother nest, thus eventually resulting in the drone formation. These colonies primarily decline due to deforestation. Due to human alteration of many ecosystems in which these species thrive, there is difficulty in preserving and managing "S. mexicana". It is thought that "S. mexicana" detect queens and assess their reproductive status
