Content: A jammed finger usually involves damage to the ligaments surrounding the finger joints and reduced movement in the affected joint due to compaction. A mildly jammed finger is typically categorized as a Grade I sprain, which means that the ligaments are stretched a little too far, but not torn. 2
Rest your finger and be patient. Mishandling the ball in sports such as basketball, volleyball and baseball is a frequent cause of jammed fingers. If such activity caused your finger injury, then you'll likely have to take a break from the sport — anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on severity. And depending on what your job is, you may also have miss some work or switch to an activity (short-term) that doesn't involve your hands or fingers to any great extent. In general, sprains, strains, bruises, and most causes of inflammation respond well to short-term rest. In the meantime, your ability to grab and hold on to things will be hampered with a jammed finger. Typing and writing will also be difficult, especially if the injury is to your dominant hand. In addition to certain sports, jammed fingers also commonly occur at home — getting caught between doors, particularly.

Apply ice to the jammed finger. The pain from a jammed finger is mostly due to inflammation, so applying cold therapy as soon as you can is smart because it slows down local circulation, reduces swelling, and numbs nerve fibers. [ 5]

Anything frozen will do, such as ice cubes, gel packs, or bags of vegetables (peas work great) from your freezer. Whatever you choose for cold therapy, apply it every hour for 10-15 minutes until the pain and inflammation subside. After a few days, you'll likely be able to discontinue the use of ice therapy.

While you're icing your jammed finger, elevate your hand/arm with some pillows in order to help combat the effects of gravity and further help with the inflammation. Don't forget to wrap anything cold in a thin towel before applying it to your finger so you don't get ice burn or frostbite. 4
Take anti-inflammatory medication short-term. Another effective way of combating inflammation and pain in your jammed finger is to take over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve). NSAIDs help control your body's inflammation cascade, which reduces swelling and pain.

NSAIDs help control your body's inflammation cascade, which reduces swelling and pain. Keep in mind that NSAIDs and other pain relievers are usually intended for short-term use only (less than 2 weeks) due to harmful side effects on the stomach, liver, and kidneys. To reduce the risk of stomach irritation and/or ulcers, it's best not to take NSAIDs on an empty stomach. Aspirin should not be given to children under 18, due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, whereas ibuprofen is not appropriate for infants under six months. If you don't have access to any NSAIDs, then taking painkillers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be helpful for a jammed finger also, but painkillers don't reduce inflammation. As an alternative to taking any pills, consider applying an anti-inflammatory or pain-relieving cream or gel to your jammed finger joint.

Buddy tape the injured finger. While your jammed finger is healing, consider taping it to an adjacent finger (commonly referred to as "buddy taping") for more stability and protection from further injury. Choose some medical-grade tape and bind your injured finger to the finger beside it that's most similar in size. Be careful not to tape too firmly, otherwise, you'll create additional swelling and may even cut off blood circulation to the injured finger.

To provide a little more support for your jammed finger, you can use a wooden or aluminum splint along with the tape. Aluminum splints can be custom fit and bent to accommodate most finger injuries.

Consult with your family physician. If rest, immobilization, and other home remedies aren't effective for reducing the pain, swelling, or stiffness in your injured finger after a week, then make an appointment with your doctor. Instead of a jammed finger, you might have a small hairline or stress fracture in the long bones of your finger, or an avulsion fracture closer to the joint. Avulsion fractures occur when a sprained ligament tears a piece of bone from its attachment site. If your finger is broken, then your doctor will usually fasten a metal splint to it with instructions to keep it on for a few weeks.

You doctor can take x-rays of your hand and check for evidence of fractures and other disease conditions that can cause pain, such as osteoarthritis (the wear and tear type), osteoporosis (brittle bones), or bone infection. Keep in mind that small hairline fractures don't usually show up on x-rays until the swelling goes away. An MRI may be needed to better see the condition of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage in and around your injured finger. 2
See an osteopath or chiropractor. Osteopaths and chiropractors are joint specialists who focus on restoring normal motion and function to spinal and peripheral joints, including those of the hands and fingers.

Osteopaths and chiropractors are joint specialists who focus on restoring normal motion and function to spinal and peripheral joints, including those of the hands and fingers. If your finger joint is truly jammed or even slightly dislocated, then an osteopath or chiropractor can use a technique called manual joint manipulation (or an adjustment) to unjam or reposition the affected joint. You can often hear a "popping" or "cracking" sound with an adjustment, which often provides immediate relief and improved joint mobility. Although a single joint adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your finger pain and restore full range of motion to the jammed joint, more than likely it will take a few treatments to notice significant improvement. Manual joint manipulation is not advised if fractures, infections, or inflammatory (rheumatoid) arthritis is involved. 3
Get a referral to an orthopedist.

Figure out when to take the test. Most experts advise that you should wait at least one day after your missed period before taking a home pregnancy test, though waiting a week is considered best. This can be tough when you are anxious to find out if you're pregnant, but waiting allows for a higher degree of accuracy when taking the test, as hCG levels rise rapidly in pregnant women. hCG develops in a woman's body only after a fertilized egg implants in her uterus. Implantation of the fertilized egg typically occurs on or around the 6th day after the sperm and egg have merged. This is why home pregnancy tests won't pick up on any hCG if you take the test too early, even if you are pregnant. [ 7]
X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world's leading hospitals Go to source
It's best to do the home pregnancy test first thing in the morning, when your urine is most concentrated and hCG levels are highest. As a rule of thumb or if you have irregular periods, you should wait 3 weeks after sex to take a pregnancy test. However, if you are in a hurry, most tests will work after 2 weeks (approximately when your period is due).

Read the instructions carefully. Although most home urine tests are pretty much the same, it is important to follow manufacturers' instructions. Specifics may vary for each pregnancy test, such as the method of collecting the urine, the length of time you need to urinate on the stick for and the symbols used to indicate whether you're pregnant or not. [ 9]

It's better to familiarize yourself with the symbols used in advance, as you don't want to be anxiously scrambling for the instructions when the test throws up its results.

Content: The GAL’s role is to represent the best interests of the children as determined by the GAL through an investigation. The GAL will investigate the facts, participate in negotiations, and take a position in court on legal custody and placement. The GAL is also involved in the financial issues of a case when those issues affect the children, such as child support and child expenses. The GAL does not have any of the rights or duties of a parent or general guardian. Although the GAL may be incorrectly referred to as the children’s attorney, the GAL’s role is to advocate for the best interests of the children. This may not be the same as advocating for what the children want. What determines whether a GAL becomes involved in a case? When parents cannot agree on custody or placement, the court must appoint a GAL. The parents must first try mediation to reach an agreement. The court may waive that requirement in specific legal circumstances.

Content: Disappearing the money
The easiest way to disappear the money, especially if it's already cash (as opposed to, let's say, silver bullion or a winning lottery ticket) is to just stash it in a safety deposit box. You miss out on any investment income, but it's safe and you know where to find it. If you really want to be able to invest the money, get it overseas. If it's an amount that you can just carry with you, buy a vacation package to the Cayman Islands or visit your family roots in Europe and take a little side trip to Switzerland or Austria or Liechtenstein. There are plenty of fancy, complex ways to get the money overseas, that mostly require an accomplice. The most basic is an invoice scam. Establish a business that imports or exports something. Meet with your customer or supplier and arrange with him to either over-pay or under-bill, and then to have your counterpart deposit (most of) the excess into your foreign bank account. An ongoing scheme is good, because the guy knows that the lucrative cash flow will stop if you find out the money isn't getting deposited as it should, but you can also work this as a one-shot deal if your counterpart can be trusted. Banks used to help their good customers get money discretely overseas, but nowadays there are a bunch of laws against such things, and bankers are particularly averse to going to jail for their customers.

Expect them to refused to get involved and to rat you out. Reappearing the money
Now we're basically back into classic money laundering territory. If you stashed a duffel bag full of cash it in a safety deposit box (or under your bed), all you need to do is pull out a few bills now and then when you're heading out for a night on the town. You can raise your standard of living modestly. Alternatively, you could increase the amount that's going into your 401 (k) and then use the cash to keep your standard of living about the same — gradually turning the hidden money into above-board money.

Citizens can write to members of Congress or volunteer for groups that interact with its members. Some people would like to become more politically involved in their government, but don’t know where to start. There are many opportunities for political participation, and these represent a full range from either minimal to maximum involvement in your government. The first, and most minimal suggestion, but probably also the most important, is that you be registered to vote. Especially in countries where voting elects its leaders, helps to determine laws, and elects representatives, your involvement in this process through being a registered voter and showing up at the polls, allows you a say in how your government works and who represents your voice in the political spectrum. Attending city council meetings can help people become more politically involved locally. While voting may be the single best way to become more politically involved, not all people can vote, such as people under 18. Depending upon the time and energy you have to commit to participating in the political process, you have a range of options for making your voice heard. If you only have time to vote, the very least you can do is to become an educated voter. You may need to “school” yourself on the electoral process, and on how to understand the way in which issues you might vote on affect you.

People can attend political events and engage with local leaders. You can get more informed by reading. You might start with a good book on your government’s history and particularly on your government’s constitution and your rights. You can also follow the beat of politics through a number of online sources that will help you make choices with intelligence and conviction. If you’re not yet able to vote, these are still excellent places to start, and many students learn the basics of history and government in school.

Content: A staff accountant can often become a senior financial accountant after three to five years. If you have a four-year degree and some experience in accounting or bookkeeping, the next step is to prove that you can do senior-level work. Senior financial accountants know why they perform certain tasks and how those tasks relate to other accounting processes. They are aware of the theory behind the work and do not need to be trained on basic accounting processes. Senior financial accountants ask questions about their work to make sure they understand what they are doing and why. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price? This little known plugin reveals the answer. Senior accountants usually perform work associated with financial audits, including special schedules and reconciliations. They may work directly with auditors and answer questions about financial processes and accounting issues, such as reasons for adjustments, discrepancies, account analysis, and reports. They have the experience to understand audit questions and respond to them in a professional manner, avoiding overly emotional responses or immature remarks.

They have the experience to understand audit questions and respond to them in a professional manner, avoiding overly emotional responses or immature remarks. They may need to research issues or to get answers from staff personnel. If you are serious about becoming a senior accountant, you should look for challenges at work and ask questions to really learn the processes thoroughly. You should become familiar with the general ledger and how it works in generating computerized reports. The closer you are to generating financial reports, the better your chances to become a senior financial accountant. If you are working in accounts receivable, for example, learn how the accounts receivable transactions affect the general ledger.

Cold joints may be reinforced by inserting metal reinforcing bars, or rebar. A cold joint is an undesirable discontinuity between layers of concrete that occurs when one layer of concrete is allowed to harden before the rest of the concrete is poured in what is meant to be a single, solid mass. The discontinuity occurs between the layers due to the inability of the freshly poured, wet concrete to intermix with and bind properly to the hardened concrete. Such a discontinuity is often the result of logistical issues such as a contractor’s work schedule or an unexpected material shortage. A cold joint is when the bottom layer of concrete dries before the rest of the concrete is poured on top of it. Problems associated with cold joints range from the relatively minor to the very serious. At the less serious end of the spectrum, a cold joint may result in a visually unappealing discontinuity that is visible on the surface once the concrete has hardened.

At the less serious end of the spectrum, a cold joint may result in a visually unappealing discontinuity that is visible on the surface once the concrete has hardened. This kind of aesthetic defect may simply be concealed rather than repaired. A more serious problem associated with a cold joint is the possibility of moisture intrusion into the concrete section. If water settles in the joint, it may lead to degradation of the concrete under certain environmental conditions. For example, as water expands when it freezes and then contracts when it melts, water trapped in a cold joint may cause cracking or erosion of the material. Moisture may also damage other things beyond the concrete mass if it is able to seep all the way through it.

Content: A cold joint is even weaker under tension, and it is susceptible to shearing at the discontinuity. Whenever possible, these joints should be avoided in concrete construction by completing the entire pour for a given section in one session. This allows the entire section to harden in a continuous, solid mass. If this is not possible, several steps can be taken to mitigate the more serious problems. Specialized waterproofing joint sealant may be applied to the joint to make it watertight, thereby protecting against potentially damaging moisture intrusion. A special surface preparation may be applied to the hardened layer before applying a fresh layer of concrete. This will strengthen the bond between the two layers. Another way to increase the strength of the cold joint is to insert reinforcing bar, or rebar, into the first layer before pouring the next layer. This will better help tie them together and increase the tensile strength of the joint. It is also sometimes possible to locate the weakened joint in an area that is not critical to supporting a large load.

Weather conditions can cause frozen crops leading to scarcity of oranges and other citrus fruits. The causes of scarcity can be due to a number of different reasons, but there are four primary ones. Poor distribution of resources, personal perspective on resources, a rapid increase in demand, and a rapid decrease in supply are all potential scarcity causes. The key is to determine what the causes are so that the situation can be corrected. In some cases, more than one cause may be causing a shortage of some things. Hurricane preparation leads to rapidly increased demand for storm supplies thereby causing scarcity of items.

Content: Rapid supply decreases could be due to natural disasters, such as droughts and fire. In these cases, the situation may only last as long as a season or a year, but that may cause a considerable amount of stress for those needing the resources. Decreases in supply can happen without an increase in demand, such as in times of drought when farmers' crops fail. In some cases, the causes of scarcity could be identified simply as those of personal perspectives. In other words, there may not be any shortage of goods and services at all. Rather, the problem may be that someone simply thinks there is a shortage and therefore, either tries to conserve more, or does not bother to find the resource. This might not be a common situation, but can be just as serious for those who have the perspective of scarcity. 📦Amazon Doesn't Want You to Know About This Plugin

Civil engineers design and help build public structures like dams. A civil engineer practices civil engineering, the branch of engineering which focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of public works. These professionals may be employed by municipalities or by private firms which have landed contracts to build such public works. The qualifications to become a civil engineer vary by nation, but generally the position requires at least a four year degree, and in some cases formal certification will be needed as well before someone can advertise as a civil engineer. A civil engineer might help build dams, bridges, or roads. Civil engineering is one of the oldest and most extensive branches of engineering. It focuses on aspects of public works like transportation, water treatment, government buildings, public facilities such as airports and train stations, and other large scale projects which benefit the public. A civil engineer must be able to design safe structures which meet standard codes in the regions that they are being built in.

These structures must be designed with maintenance, efficiency, and other economic concerns in mind as well to ensure that they will endure through years of use. Civil engineers often play a role in designing and operating sewage treatment plants. In terms of transportation, civil engineers build bridges, tunnels, freeway interchanges, and other structures which are designed to facilitate the smooth, even flow of traffic while allowing for expansion and higher use rates. Water treatment includes sewage plants, delivery systems for fresh water, dams, and other facilities which handle both fresh and waste water, while government buildings run the gamut from police stations to city halls. A civil engineer might also work on projects like a city power plant or a major office building.

A child advocate may work to protect a child from harm. Child advocate is an exceptionally extensive term that may refer to a number of people who work to protect children and advocate on their behalf. These people may do this work professionally or they could be amateurs, albeit highly experienced. Numerous state agencies have some form of child advocacy service, and some private organizations offer child advocate services too. Perhaps, the very nature of children creates the need for adults to protect them in many settings. Child advocates may try to shape local policy to benefit children in the community. In households where children are treated with dignity and fairness, their number one advocates are their parents. Parents may intervene at schools, in relationships with friends, or in many other ways.

Children are, to an extent, voiceless, and they need the loving protection of their parents to get the best care and remain safe. These are the amateur advocates, but many are quite skilled in making decisions in the best interest of their children. Children need a social worker or child advocate in cases of suspected various situations. Another group of advocates for kids are teachers, and again, they have to be skilled teachers that are working in the best interest of their students. They may actually advocate for student’s rights with parents.

It’s also important to note that most school employees advocate for children that are being harmed in another way. Should they suspect sexual or physical abuse, they’re often legally bound to report it. Advocates often step in and speak on behalf of an abused child. When abuse of any kind is reported, children continue to need a supportive child advocate. This might be someone from a department of social work or other family oriented organizations that helps to protect and preserve the child’s interests through investigatory processes and thereafter.

Children who then enter “the system” of foster care need at least one person, and preferably more, on their side should they encounter problems, which is not unlikely. A child advocate comes in many different forms. In the US, many states have special child advocate programs that are separate from any form of social services or child welfare department. People employed in these programs could listen to concerns raised by children, by their foster parents, or by social workers that review foster parenting. Social workers also have advocacy roles and sometimes the ability to remove children from different types of care if the child’s needs are not adequately met.

Attorneys who represent children accused of crimes are these children’s advocates. Some non-profit private organizations may step in different steps of the process to see that children are given adequate support. It is often stated that it takes a village to raise a child, and this raises the question of who should not be a child advocate.

With a cold roof, the roof temperature stays the same as the temperature of the outside air. Cold roofing prevents the formation of ice dams, which can be a regular hazard with warm roofs. Ice dams are formed when snow melts on the roof and then refreezes on the roof overhang. As more snow melts, the water is caught by the ice dams, causing moisture to seep through the roof into the building, which can lead to structural damage. With cold roofs, as the snow doesn't melt, there is no question of ice dam formation and all the problems that go with it. The traditional cold roof construction consists of a well-ventilated attic space with a pitched roof. Insulation is placed horizontally between the attic joists and the ceiling of the floor below. Any gaps in the ceiling are sealed to keep out moist air from the building.

Content: this allows the inside moist air to diffuse through it, but keeps outside moisture from seeping inside. There are no vents and the moisture in the space exits through the breather membrane. The risk of condensation is low with unventilated cold roofs. If there are any water pipes passing through the space, however, there may be a chance of them freezing over. This problem can be resolved by covering the pipes with insulation. Apart from preventing ice dams, cold process roofing is good for maintaining the building ceiling insulation in a proper condition. By well-ventilating the attic space and getting rid of inside moisture, a cold roof reduces winter humidity inside the building. When the weather turns warmer, a cold roof makes itself useful by keeping the building cool. 📦Amazon Doesn't Want You to Know About This Plugin

Content: A piccolo sounds an octave higher than written. Related instruments are the end blown flutes, a group that includes the recorder or fipple flute, the Native American flute, the flageolet, and the tin whistle or pennywhistle. The ocarina is also related, as is the transverse flute called the fife, the primary use of which is in combination with drums in marching or military bands. There are also various pan flutes, usually made of multiple pipes that are used to change pitch, rather than using holes or keys. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price? This little known plugin reveals the answer. The flute is used in both band and orchestra. In both ensembles, one of the players usually doubles on piccolo. The instrument is also a member of the wind ensemble, woodwind ensemble, and the woodwind quintet, in which it performs along with clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and French horn. It is also characteristically found in woodwind trios and quartets, though these do not have fixed membership, as the woodwind quintet does.

There were flutes as early as the ninth century BCE. The basic design is a tube with an embouchure hole into which the player blows and finger holes to control the pitch. The modern instrument was developed in 1830 by Theobald Boehm and incorporates his fingering system. Flutes and piccolos were both originally made of wood, but now they are generally metal.

Content: Smoking marijuana has been called a victimless crime. One common example of a victimless crime is prostitution. Offering sexual favors in exchange for money is considered a crime in many places. Both the solicitor and the prostitute can be arrested for violating public decency laws. If, however, both parties are deemed to have committed the illegal act consensually, then neither party may be considered victims in the eyes of the law. While prostitution may contribute to other domestic problems or personal vices, the act itself, if entered into consensually, is usually considered a victimless crime. Prostitution -- if not forced -- can be considered a victimless crime. Another type of victimless crime is drug possession and usage. While it could be argued, usually successfully, that a person under the influence of illegal drugs could cause damage to other people or property, the general possession or personal use of those drugs is usually characterized as a victimless crime by those seeking to repeal current drug laws. The user may be causing damage to his or her own body through habitual drug use — and therefore some may argue the possessor or user is the victim — but the laws which make possession of these substances a criminal offense are largely written and enforced by non-users.

A bull may be castrated to intentionally modify its temperament. Castration is any process that causes an animal to lose reproductive viability. The term is used for humans and many animals, often referring to an intentional surgical or chemical process, but also to accidental loss of function. There are many different methods of castrating an animal, and many different reasons why it may be performed intentionally. Side effects of castration when performed safely and medically monitored are manageable for humans, although other castrated animals are known to demonstrate different behaviors than intact animals. Castration is commonly done on pet cats and dogs.

Castration is commonly done on pet cats and dogs. Human castration has been a relatively common procedure throughout history, particularly for men. While it was once common to remove the entirety of the male genitals, it has become much more acceptable to disable only the testicles. Most men do not consider a vasectomy to be castration, even though it meets the definition, because it does not involve complete removal of the testicles and because it is typically reversible. A castrated male horse is called a gelding. Female castration is often a more complicated procedure, and sometimes the term is used as a synonym for female genital mutilation.

This little known plugin reveals the answer. Castration can be achieved by removing the testicles. While it is commonly said that women and men experience few side effects from castration when properly managed, there are many castrated people who feel very differently. In fact, removal of these important organs can affect hormone levels to such a degree that some castrated people feel out of touch with reality, distant in relationships, suicidal, and completely violated by the people who castrated them. Other side effects such as weight gain, heart problems, and bowel problems may also occur. Not everyone experiences castration negatively, but it is still very important to assess all possible options when looking into being castrated for medical reasons or otherwise and to develop a healthy support network if it is absolutely necessary.

Dried field corn is used to create masa. Masa is the backbone of Latin American cuisine. It is produced by soaking dried field corn in a lime solution and grinding it into a fine paste. This paste is used in foods like tortillas, tamales, and sweet fried foods. Variations have been produced all over Latin America for tens of thousands of years, and the food continues to be produced by modern dwellers. Making masa is relatively easy at home, and using it fresh will dramatically change the flavor of Latin American foods cooked at home.

Making masa is relatively easy at home, and using it fresh will dramatically change the flavor of Latin American foods cooked at home. Tortillas are often made with masa. When masa is made, the tough outer husk of corn kernels is removed, making the corn easier to digest. The process also frees up important dietary minerals and nutrients, making the end food product more nutritious to eat. The development of this food in Latin American cultures ensured that native peoples had access to a balanced, healthy diet. Fresh masa is often available in Latin American specialty stores.

Sather Tower at the University of California, Berkeley. Credit for the discovery of plutonium is usually given to a team of scientists at UC Berkeley. Plutonium is a metallic chemical element classified among the actinides on the periodic table of elements. This highly radioactive element is used primarily in weapons and nuclear power plants, and it has become somewhat well known because of these uses. In nature, plutonium is relatively rare, occurring in uranium rich ores in trace amounts; most of the world's working supply of this element is obtained through neutron bombardment of uranium, a close neighbor on the periodic table.

When plutonium is isolated, its appearance may vary, because it has six allotropic forms, meaning that the element has six different structures under normal conditions. These forms vary in terms of density, although they all share the basic chemical properties of toxicity, radioactivity, and reactivity with many other elements. Most forms of plutonium are silvery-gray, but they oxidize to a dull yellow over time. Quantities which are large enough are also warm to the touch, due to the alpha particles they emit as they age.

What is Quantum Uncertainty?

Content: Also, the idea of quantum uncertainty is often presented in a mysterious way, without the mention that the concept goes hand in hand with precise quantitative confidence bounds, which are not so mysterious. The notion of quantum uncertainty caused a ruckus in the early 20th century, when physicists were trying to work out the particulars of quantum theory through conflicting interpretations. Neils Bohr and many other physicists advocated the Copenhagen interpretation, which states that the universe is fundamentally fuzzy at the lowest level, described by probability distributions rather than deterministically linked, well-defined states. Werner Heisenberg, who derived the uncertainty principle from the mathematical structure of quantum theory, also advocated the Copenhagen interpretation. Albert Einstein, however, did not, famously saying "God does not play dice". Is Amazon actually giving you the best price? This little known plugin reveals the answer. The theory of quantum uncertainty, despite being packaged with mathematically precise confidence bounds, truly is quite mysterious. There are still disagreements in the physics community about whether the Copenhagen interpretation follows inevitably from quantum certainty. The contemporary alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation is the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which holds that reality actually is deterministic.

Regulatory laws carry the same force as laws created by Congress or state legislatures. Regulatory law is a part of administrative law and consists of the rules and regulations set out by administrative agencies. In the US, the authority of these agencies is delegated to them by Congress on the federal level and by the state legislatures of the various US jurisdictions at the state level. The two principal functions of administrative agencies are rulemaking and regulatory enforcement, also called "adjudication." Administrative agencies have their own courts and judges. Governmental agencies are authorized by Congress to enforce rules and regulations. In 1789, Congress began using regulatory agencies and laws to administer customs, trade, and the issuance of veteran’ benefits. As the government grew, the task of regulating industries and addressing the many concerns of society became too difficult for Congress alone to administer. It began to delegate its authority to administrative agencies in certain areas. The theory was that experts within a given industry were better suited to devise and implement the rules governing those industries.

Administrative law today encompasses a large number of administrative agencies, each governing a particular industry or area of public concern. Most regulatory law is not found in statutes. Administrative agencies have regulatory commissions that create regulatory law and enforce compliance with it. They also set and enforce industry standards. Some examples of regulatory commissions operating under the authority of Congress are the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Agriculture.

Secondary PTSD often occurs after a traumatic event. Post- traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that can arise after a person has been through a traumatic experience. Symptoms include emotional detachment from normal life and an abnormal sense of fear or alertness. Often, those in familiar contact with people suffering from PTSD become stressed from the actions or the knowledge of the person's trauma. Sometimes, if the family, friends or health-care workers involved with this person become seriously emotionally altered by the situation, they too can suffer from PTSD symptoms, in a related condition known as secondary PTSD.

Secondary PTSD may affect the close relatives of the individual who is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Normally, PTSD or secondary PTSD diagnoses require the person to display serious psychological symptoms. These symptoms are usually severe enough to affect the person's normal way of living and interacting with others. Secondary PTSD, however, is not as well recognized as PTSD, and the diagnosis may also go by other names. Examples of these include secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.

Families and friends of some military veterans are one such group, as they have to deal both with the trauma their loved one went through, and the resultant stress of living with the person and trying to help. People who come into contact with PTSD sufferers through their work can also develop secondary trauma as a result. These include nurses, doctors and psychiatric personnel, who help the traumatized people after the event, and who may, over time, be exposed to many different people with PTSD.

Shared characteristics between secondary PTSD and PTSD include increased alertness and jumpiness, along with nightmares and an increased tendency to avoid social situations. Like people who suffer from PTSD, those with secondary PTSD may feel less attached to their loved ones, and experience a reduced sense of purpose. As people with secondary PTSD have perhaps had their view of life and the ability of other people to inflict pain changed for the worse, they may also become judgmental and disillusioned, and experience anger at the world and the people in it.

Psychiatric diagnoses need specific symptoms and conditions to be present for the correct diagnosis and therefore the correct treatment. Although the use of the term "secondary PTSD" may be in common use for people who are suffering from psychological problems due to the trauma of a loved one or client, it may not always be an accurate diagnosis. Often, similar diagnoses such as "caretaker stress" display some of the same symptoms but requires different modes of treatment. 📦Amazon Doesn't Want You to Know About This Plugin

Content: People growing up in rural communities will probably get married for the first time in their early 20s. In developed countries, the average marriage age has also been pushed back because many couples now choose to live together for years before even considering marriage. In the 1950s, when sharing a home before marriage wasn't the standard, people got married younger. The average marriage age in India is 17. In countries such as India and Pakistan, where it is tradition that parents arrange weddings, the average age at marriage is 17, with many brides getting married as soon as they turn 15. This is the case also in many African countries, where economic factors force parents to marry off their daughters at an early age. Nigeria has some of the lowest averages in Africa, with most men getting married around 23 and most women at 17. In the US, the average marriage age is younger in rural areas than it is in big cities. The average age peaks higher in Scandinavian countries such as Denmark, where the number is 30.2 for women and 32.5 for men. Sweden, Finland, and Norway are closely behind.

It's important to note that, in many countries, the marriage age is closely related to the number of divorces that occur every year. Young couples have almost three times the chance of ending up divorced than people getting married after 27 years old. Readers Also Love

Albania legalized euthanasia in 1999. Euthanasia and the related topic of physician-assisted suicide are extremely controversial moral and legal issues throughout the world. While proponents suggest that a painless death may be preferable to some people that have a prolonged, eventually fatal illness or permanently debilitating condition, opponents cite the intrinsic value of life and the possibility that legalizing euthanasia could lead to severe misuse by doctors. The debate on the ethics behind euthanasia will likely never be settled, as few moral debates ever return a universal agreement. As of 2010, a few countries have laws allowing legalized euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide, including Albania, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, as well as some US states. Some other countries, including Japan and Columbia, have contradictory laws and court precedent on the issue. Belgium legalized euthanasia in the early 21st century. It is important to understand the difference between euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide when discussing the legal status internationally. Physician assisted suicide refers to a situation in which a doctor may prescribe lethal drugs but the patient is responsible for taking them. Euthanasia, on the other hand, is when a health professional intentionally gives a patient a lethal dose in order to end the patient's life.

The Netherlands legalized euthanasia at the beginning of the 21st century. Albania was one of the first European nations to allow legalized euthanasia in 1999. Passive euthanasia, where the patient is unable to give consent due to a condition like a coma, is also legal given the agreement of three family members.

Native Americans are American citizens, however the U.S. government does not recognize their tribes as having separate sovereignity. This is a difficult issue to address, considering the historic plight of Native Americans and the highly controversial nature of the relationship between the United States government and native tribes. Native Americans were not officially granted US citizenship until 1924, and some states continued not to recognize their legal rights as full citizens until the late 1940s. Native American reservations, such as land in the Navajo tribal reservations, is considered to be held in trust by the U.S. government. The United States government has designated almost 600 locations in the country as sovereign Indian territories, which means that Native American leaders in those areas can establish their own laws, public services, taxes, and other rights left to the other 50 states. What they cannot do is establish their own military or issue their own currency, which puts Indian reservations in the same subservient position as states and overseas territories. In that sense, the people who live there are considered US citizens who happen to live on property that the government technically holds in trust. The U.S. government has designated almost 600 locations in the country as sovereign Indian territories.

Olympic gold medals. The modern Olympics were first held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. They began after decades of increased interest in reviving the ancient games. Various Olympic-style games had been held starting in the 1600s, although they were small and mostly involved participants from the regions where they were held. The push for an international competition was led by a French baron named Pierre de Coubertin, who helped found the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The first modern Olympics took place two years later, when a total of 245 athletes — all men — from 14 countries competed in 43 events. The Ancient Olympic Games
The flag of Greece. In ancient Greece, athletic festivals were held every four years in the city of Olympia and came to be known as the Olympic Games.

The flag of Greece. In ancient Greece, athletic festivals were held every four years in the city of Olympia and came to be known as the Olympic Games. Only men from Greece were allowed to compete, and women were barred from even watching. The first known Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C., but many historians believe that they probably were held even earlier. The ancient games ended in 393 A.D., when the Roman emperor Theodosius banned them because he believed that they were influenced by paganism. Renewed Interest
Many modern Olympic events include a sprinting component. Interest in reviving the ancient games began to increase after the Greece's war of independence from the Ottoman Empire, which lasted from 1821 to 1832.

In many Western countries, people tend to marry in their 20s. The average age at marriage has risen in most industrial countries. Even countries with less development, or who have come lately to industrialization show a rise in the average age at marriage for women. These statistics may reflect a greater feminist stance in most countries, with more women working and completing college. As well they reflect a trend away from marriage in the US. Fully one-half of the US population is now unmarried. The average age of marriage has increased over time. If one looks at US statistics over the past 100 years for example, one sees that men had an average age at marriage of 25.9 years in 1900. Women in 1900 had an average age at marriage of 22 years.

For some this shatters an illusion that women 100 years ago were sold into marriage as young children. Even Jane Austen, writing in the early 19th century had heroines married at the earliest age of 17 or 18. In Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, which are semi-autobiographical, her father would not allow her to marry until she was 18. Thus it can be said that the average woman was past 21 when entering her first marriage, 100 years ago. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price?

In other cultures, age at marriage may be slightly lower. For example, in Mexico the mean age of marriage currently is 23.3 years for men and 18.4 years for women. This has increased as well, reflecting Mexico’s increasing industrialization. The average age for men at marriage has risen by two years since 1980, with women seeing an increase of three years.

It is interesting that though this represents an increased age for men, it is not significantly higher than the rate 100 years ago. Actually age rates at marriage for men declined from 1910 through 1960. Lowest average age for marriage in men was in 1960, when the mean age for marriage was 22.8 years.

However the difference between the 1910 figures and figures in 1960 are less than two years. In men, the difference is a more significant four year spread. However by the 1970s both figures increased. The largest jump in a decade was women’s average age at marriage in 1980 and 1990.

Women are three years older on average now, than the mean marriage age in the 1980.

Content: Yellowstone National Park's boiling hot springs was one of the first places Archae was discovered. Archaebacteria have a size between 1/10th of a micrometer to over 15 micrometers. ( A human hair is about 100 micrometers in width.) Some possess flagella, but these are substantially different in structure than the flagella bacteria have. In 1999, Pyrococcus abyssi, one of the toughest archaebacteria on Earth, had its genome sequenced. Further study of its resilience to extreme temperatures is expected to have applications in the biotechnology industry. Archaebacteria are non-pathogenic, living in and around other organisms but not infecting them. Some are able to withstand pressures of above 200 atmospheres, allowing them to thrive deep within the Earth. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price?

This little known plugin reveals the answer. Archaebacteria were not recognized as a distinct form of life from bacteria until 1977, when Carl Woese and George Fox determined this through RNA studies. However, the kingdom Archae has a close relationship to the kingdom Eukarya, the two sharing many genetic trees and common traits. One of the first places Archae were discovered was at the boiling hot springs in Yellowstone National Park. Michael Anissimov

Content: To become a civil engineer, a person must typically study engineering at a university and then participate in field work for practical training. Many nations also require that students pass a competency exam to ensure that they will be able to design and build safe, stable structures. A civil engineer may analyze the conception and design of a project. There are many branches of civil engineering, and a wide range of specialties. Some engineers focus on conception and initial design of a project, analyzing the site, the needs, and the resources to come up with a workable project plan. Others specialize in contracting, physically building the structure, managing the site crew, and handling materials and supply. In other cases, civil engineers focus on maintenance of the project after it is completed, to make sure that it is safe and useful. It is a civil engineer's job to ensure that building structures are safe and functional. Most people pick a focus while they are receiving an education. Engineers who focus on transportation, for example, might choose to specialize in building bridges, tunnels, and roads.

An elephant's tusks are made of ivory. Technically, all animals with teeth have ivory, which is composed of a creamy white substance called dentin that makes up the bulk of teeth. However, some animals have particularly large teeth or tusks that lend themselves to harvesting, such as elephants, hippopotami, and whales. Ivory from these animals has been used for centuries in decorative art, and in the manufacture of objects such as pianos and billiard balls. Concerns about declining populations of elephants in particular have led to restrictions on the global trade, and many craftspeople are starting to seek out alternatives such as high quality plastics or tagua, also known as vegetable ivory. Walruses are known for their large ivory tusks, as is the case with elephants and whales.

Content: The term “American dream” is used in many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that anyone in the US can succeed through hard work and has the potential to lead a happy, successful life. Many people have expanded upon or refined the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful relationships. Someone who manages to achieve his or her version of the American dream is often said to be “living the dream.” This concept has been subject to criticism, because some people believe that the structure of society in the US prevents such an idealistic goal for everyone. Critics often point to examples of inequality rooted in class, race, religion and ethnicity that suggest that the American dream is not attainable for everyone. History
American flag. The idea of an American dream is older than the US, dating to the 1600s, when people began to have all sorts of hopes and aspirations for what was a new and largely unexplored continent to European immigrants. Many of these dreams focused on owning land and establishing a prosperous business that — theoretically, at least — would increase one's happiness. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, authors often wrote about the idealistic American dream, somewhat codifying the concept and entrenching it in American society. Stereotypical Dream
Statue of Liberty.

Many believe the Patriot Act goes against the Bill of Rights. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 is a far-reaching piece of legislation that was designed to make it easier for the United States to detect and act on potential security threats. It is more commonly known by its acronym, the USA PATRIOT Act, and may be colloquially called the “Patriot Act.” The contents of the act were extremely controversial, especially among liberal Americans and people who are concerned about their civil liberties. Congress approved the Patriot Act is the weeks following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Patriot Act was signed into law on 26 October 2001, a little over a month after the 11 September attacks.

Many critics of the act have pointed out that it was not heavily debated in Congress, and that because it was hastily pushed through, some of the language is extremely vague. Originally, the act had what is known as a “sunset clause,” meaning that it would expire in four years. In 2006, most of the law was reauthorized and made permanent, after more extensive debate in the House and Senate. Under the Patriot Act, American law enforcement personnel have far more authority than they did before. This change in authority is designed to ensure that law enforcement can act quickly and decisively to apprehend terrorists.

George Marshall, US Secretary of State in 1947, was the mind behind the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan, also called the European Recovery Plan, was enacted by the US in 1947 as a way to help rebuild Europe after World War II. The mind behind the plan was George Marshall, who was the US Secretary of State at the time, although William Clayton and George Kennan are credited with writing the majority of the program. Though it was meant to help the badly damaged Europe recover, it was also meant to prevent communism from gaining a stronghold in war torn countries. The Korean Conflict brought an end to the Marshall Plan. West Germany, which was divided from East Germany after the war, received some aid under the Marshall Plan.

Other countries receiving funds for reconstruction were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey. For the most part, these countries represented the allied relationships formed during WWII, although others, like Italy, were part of the Axis forces during the war.

📦Amazon Doesn't Want You to Know About This Plugin
Content: While the term Triangular Trade is used generically to refer to trade between any three nations or ports, it is usually used in specific reference to the slave trade, the “peculiar institution” which was used to develop the Americas. The trade was extremely risky for investors, but it also had the potential to create a sizable profit. Many influential members of European society built their fortunes this way, a form of investment that relied on the enslavement of people to be profitable. African slaves were exchanged in the Americas for the raw materials that were used to make the European goods that were sold in Africa. The first leg of the Triangle Trade went from Europe to Africa. In England, a ship would be loaded with trade goods such as textiles; manufactured products, like cooking utensils, beads; and other objects that could be used to negotiate with slave dealers in Africa. Once the ship arrived off the coast of Africa, it would typically initiate trading with several groups, ensuring that the ship could be quickly loaded with slaves. Many of the slave dealers in Africa were Africans themselves, selling people who were captured in war or feuds.

At the end of the first leg of the triangular trade, European merchants used manufactured goods to purchase slaves from native African chiefs and dealers. African slaves were exchanged in the Americas for the raw materials that were used to make the European goods that were sold in Africa.

Content: Literary critics often see this as a tremendous tragedy given his early potential. Percy Bysshe Shelley also died quite young, at the age of 30. His most celebrated works include Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind and To a Skylark. John Keats' work is associated with the Romantic movement, a cultural movement that emphasized emotion and passion over rational thought. Outside of Britain, writers such as Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, Victor Hugo, Edgar Allen Poe, Aleksandr Pushkin, Hannah More, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mary Robinson and Heinrich Heine all embraced the Romantic style. Others who wrote during this time included Elizabeth Barret Browning, Henry Wordsworth Longfellow, Thomas Moore and Mary Shelly. Many of these individuals highly regarded each other's talents, appreciating the uniqueness that arose not only from each poet 's subjective view of the world, but also the cultural elements found in each of the countries they came from. Influence
Taken in sum, the Romantic poets may be seen as reactionary and humanist, and in many cases, these individuals are connected to elements of revolution and sociocultural change, fueling political demands for freedom through their writing. They forever changed poetry, inventing new forms and redefining what "acceptable" written expression was in a way that made the genre much more accessible for the average person. Nowhere is their influence felt more than in the American poets and writers of the mid-19th century.

Content: However, Native Americans also has some issues, as anyone born in the Americas, indigenous or not, could be considered "Native American" if the term is taken literally. " Indigenous peoples of the Americas" is the most accurate term, but too cumbersome to be used regularly in everyday speech. Native Americans caught on to some degree, especially in the media, but the term Indians is still widely used. "Indigenous peoples of the Americas" is the most accurate term to describe Native Americans. Native Americans continue to refer to themselves as Indians, especially those of older generations. In addition, American Indian is the official legal term used in the United States. Indians can also be a useful term because it traditionally does not include the indigenous people of Hawaii or Alaska, a distinction not present in the term Native Americans. Is Amazon actually giving you the best price? This little known plugin reveals the answer. Some older Native Americans continue to refer to themselves as Indians.
