What is the aim and purpose of Islamic studies?
Islam has always set a high incentive for training and education. As the confidence spread among different people and groups, education on the Islam has turned into a significant channel through which one gets to make a widespread and b social request or rather order. By the middle of the ninth century, education was divided into three classes: the Islamic sciences, the philosophical and characteristic sciences (Greek information), and the abstract expressions.
The Islamic sciences, which stressed the investigation of the Qurʾān (the Islamic sacred writing) and the Ḥadīth (the platitudes and customs of the Prophet Muhammad) and their understanding by driving researchers and scholars, were esteemed the most exceptionally, however, Greek grant was considered similarly significant, though less righteous.
As per the Islamic studies assignment experts and scholars, early Muslim training and education taught to teach practical studies. For example, the use of the mechanical ability to improve water system frameworks, structural developments, materials, iron and steel items, ceramic, and cowhide items. The production of paper and black powder; the progression of business; and the upkeep of a dealer marine, were also part of the same
After the eleventh century, denominational premiums commanded higher learning, and the Islamic sciences accomplished transcendence. Greek information was concentrated in private, and the abstract expressions decreased in essentialness as instructive approaches. These approaches were empowering scholastic opportunity, and thus, new learning was supplanted by a shut framework portrayed by a narrow-mindedness toward logical advancements, common subjects, and imaginative grant. This denominational framework spread throughout eastern Islam from Transoxania (generally, advanced Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and southwest Kazakhstan) to Egypt, with somewhere in the range of 75 schools in presence between around 1050 and 1250.

Willaim Chapin |
(1802 - 1888)
William Chapin (1802 - 1888) was a prominent New York and Philadelphia based engraver active in the early part of the 19th century. Though we know little of Chapin's early years he seems to have been an apprenticed at the age of 15 to John Vallance in the Philadelphia firm Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & CO. from 1817. This firm, which is responsible for Tanner's early atlases, had a substantial cartographic corpus. There are records to indicate that Chapin purchased his freedom from Vallance for 125 USD in 1822. In time he established a significant engraving business for himself in Pennsylvania and New York with heavy focus on cartographic material. Fielding suggests that Chapin's large map of the United States is in fact the first published map to be engraved steel in the United States. Around 1839 Chapin seems to have changed careers when he accepted a position as Commissioner of Public Schools in New York. In this capacity Chapin developed an interested in working with and teaching blind children. Chapin began working as headmaster of several schools for the blind in Ohio and New York. His most significant work with the blind took place at Overbrook School for the Blind, where he developed contemporary techniques for teaching and published the first dictionary for the blind.

Space Travel Can Actually Make You Taller
With the exception of throwing yourself into a pair of tall shoes, there really is no way to make you any taller than that with which genetics blessed you. That is, unless you have a connection with the space program.
According to NASA, traveling to outer space has proven to add anywhere between two to three inches to an astronaut's height. Strangely, even though NASA has been aware of this phenomenon for years, they have not yet been able to pinpoint the exact cause. However, scientists anticipate that it is the result of a spine free from the constraints of gravity, according to Space.com.
To study this hypothesis, researchers plan to study six astronauts in a clinical trial where they will use spinal ultrasounds to gauge the difference in their height during 30, 90 and 150 days of space travel. Researchers say the study will be challenging due to spinal ultrasounds being more difficult to conduct than on other parts of the body.
"Today there is a new ultrasound device on the station that allows more precise musculoskeletal imaging required for assessment of the complex anatomy and the spine," said Scott A. Dulchavsky, the principal investigator. "The crew will be able to perform these complex evaluations in the next year due to a newly developed Just-In-Time training guide for spinal ultrasound, combined with refinements in crew training and remote guidance procedures."
Unfortunately, the extra length incurred in space does not last forever here on Earth. Scientists report that most astronauts return back to their normal size within a couple months.
We are curious to find out if space travel would add extra inches to the length of our man junk. Yeah, yeah, we know what you're thinking: what are those guys going to do with four inch penises?

The Tremble Pass is not merely an affectation – though the journey to the beyond is a feat worth experiencing a taste of fear, there is something truly worth nightmares standing in the path of all who travel it.
Quaver Cleft is a line, cut into stone. It allows passage through a particularly hazardous section of the pass, the terrain of which is home to razor sharp shale that hides deadly and poisonous insects. The Cleft is free of these hazards, though it is ominous in it's own way, a line of sky much thinner than the 10 meter wide path framing the smooth, triangular passage in a manner that causes most that are aware of the Cleft's properties to grow claustrophobic.
The Cleft is safe. But when travelers enter, they die. Or at least, a fraction do, feeling the weight of the walls press in on them and crush their bones into dust. A traveler never knows whether or not they will be subject to this experience, but one thing is clear: No matter what, the travelers wake up again as if nothing happened, always on the far side of the Cleft closest to their destination.
There are no physical wounds, only psychological, and even equipment is left perfectly intact, despite vivid memories on the part of the victims of being crushed alive.
- Quaver Cleft Hearsay:
There is a woman who frequents the Tremble Pass that has never been "killed" while traversing the Quaver Cleft. Some call her lucky, most call her a Witch, in touch with whatever entity or force chooses the Cleft's victims.
- The Weird of Quaver Cleft:
Those who travel the Quaver Cleft know this effect to be the real thing, and not an illusion. There are bloodstains wherever a victim once lay, and if a group is travelling together, they all 'die', not just a singular individual.

MCPCB General Info
A simple layer single sided MCPCB consists of a metal base (usually aluminum, or copper alloy), Dielectric (non-conducting) Layer, Copper Circuit Layer, IC components and solder mask.
The prepreg dielectric provides excellent
heat transfer from the foil and components to the base plate, while maintaining excellent electrical isolation. The base aluminum/copper plate gives the single-sided substrate mechanical integrity, and distributes and transfers the heat to a heat sink, mounting
surface or directly to the ambient air.
The Single-Layer MCPCB can be used with surface mount and chip & wire
components, and provides much lower thermal resistance than FR4 PWB. The metal core provides lower cost than ceramic
substrates, and allows much larger areas than ceramic substrates.

History of the FONO
Up to 1900: Legislative functions were "fa'a-Samoa" (the Samoan way or in the traditional manner) by the village, county and district councils.
1900: On April 17, Chiefs of Tutuila and Aunu'u ceded their islands (Manuan's ceded theirs four years later) to the United States. The Department of the Navy was assigned to administer the islands, and the Commandant of the Naval Station, Fagatogo, was authorized as the sole executive, legislative, and judiciary authority. The commandant was advised on matters pertaining to local government by the Secretary of Samoan Affairs as well as the district governors who submitted to the commandant recommendations for legislative action and/or improvement of government operations from their respective district councils. The district governors kept the district councils informed of decisions and activities of government.

American Samoa Politics
The American Samoa Legislature Fono building in Utulei
American Samoa is governed by the United States Department of the Interior. It is classified as an unorganized and unincorporated territory. American Samoans adopted a constitution in 1960 and they elected a governor to a four year term. American Samoan has a legislature with a Senate and a House of Representatives. The Senate has eighteen members chosen by the county councils to service two to four year terms. The House has twenty members elected by the people to two year terms. Samoans who are eight years old or older may vote in the elections. American Samoans elect a delegate to the United States House of representatives and that delegate may only vote on House committee issues. While American Samoans are considered to be United States nationals, they are still not citizens of the United States. As United States nationals, American Samoans have freedom of entry into the United States and may apply for United States citizenship. However, Samoans are no longer permitted to move freely between American Samoa and the Independent State of Samoa.Like most Unites States states and territories, the government of American Samoa is divided into three branches, the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected for four-year terms. The legislature, called the Fono, has two sections, the senate and the House of Representatives. There are eighteen senators, each elected from local chiefs to a four-year term. The house has twenty-one members and twenty of those are elected for two-year terms. The other one seat is appointed as a nonvoting delegate from the privately owned Swains Island.

Rising as the Barcoo on the northern slopes of the Warrego Range, Queensland, the Cooper Creek flows north-west to Blackall. Joined by the Alice River, it continues south-west past Isisford and receives its
principal tributary, the Thompson. At Currareva, with the catchment area of 150 220 km2, the mean annual flow is 3.35 km3 with a standard deviation of 3.45 km3 for 33 full climatic years between 1939 and 1984.
Crossing the South Australian border near Innamincka, Cooper Creek cuts through a range of hills and these, in a similar
manner to the slight constriction of the Diamantina at Birdsville, offer the only chance of accurately measuring the flow anywhere within the 500 km of its central reach. The location also provides a
potential major dam site, a feature almost entirely missing on the other rivers of the Lake Eyre Basin.
The catchment area at Innamincka is 236 700 km2, and the mean annual flow for the period 1973-83 is 2.06 km3 with a standard deviation of 3.63 km3. The highest annual flow was 11.47 km3 in 1974; the highest monthly flow 6.49 km3 in February 1974; and the highest instantaneous flow 3 740 m 3/s on 18 February 1974.
Immediately downstream of Innamincka in periods of high flows, water is diverted through a natural control into the Strzelecki Creek, which also has a
catchment of its own and can flow due to the effect of heavy localised storms. Flow in Strzelecki Creek fills Lake Blanche, Lake Callabonna and Lake Frome in that order. In 1974, overflow from Lake Blanche also
reached Lake Gregory. It appears possible - and on some occasions probably inevitable - that Lake Gregory may overflow in a northwestern direction to Cooper Creek. If this is the case, then Strzelecki water can
re-enter Cooper Creek in the vicinity of Lake Killamperpunna. This did not happen, however, in 1974-76.
Once Cooper Creek leaves the hills of Innamincka, it emerges on to a very wide floodplain in the Sturt
Stony Desert, interlaced with channels, billabongs and lakes, and intersected by lines of north-south dunes. These floodplains of its central reach are highly complicated.


Separation of Large and Small RNA into Fractions using the Monarch® RNA Cleanup Kits
Following this protocol enriches RNA below 200 nt into the "small RNA" fraction, while RNA above 200 nt is enriched in the "large RNA" fraction. No fractionation protocol allows precise separation of similarly sized RNA based on length alone. We find RNA between 100–200 nt will preferentially partition to the different fractions based on various factors, including predicted secondary structure and interactions with other RNAs within the sample. Highly structured molecules between 100–200 nt typically fall into the small RNA fraction while unstructured RNA between 100–200 nt fall into the large RNA fraction.
Before You Begin:
 2. Add 50 μl (1 volume) RNA Cleanup Binding Buffer to the 50 μl sample.
 3. Add 50 μl (1/2 volume) ethanol (≥ 95%). Mix well by pipetting up and down or flicking the tube. Do not vortex.
 4. Insert an RNA Cleanup Column into a collection tube and load sample onto column (Column #1, labeled "large RNAs") and close the cap. Spin for 1 minute. Save the flow through! For samples with a starting volume larger than 300 μl, load a portion of the sample, spin, and then repeat as necessary.
 Small RNAs are in the flow through; to isolate small RNAs, continue with Step 5. Large RNAs are bound to column #1. To isolate large RNAs, continue with Step 7.
 5. Add 150 μl (1 volume) ethanol (≥ 95%) to the flow through and mix.
 6. Transfer the mixture to a new column (Column #2, labeled "Small RNAs") and centrifuge for 1 minute. Discard the flow through.
 7. Insert columns into collection tubes. Add 500 μl RNA Cleanup Wash Buffer to each and spin for 1 minute. Discard the flow-through.
 8. Repeat wash (Step 7) for both columns.
 T2030 6–20 µl N/A 1 minute
 T2040 20–100 µl N/A 1 minute
The Monarch RNA Cleanup Kit can be used to separate RNA into large and small RNA fractions
HeLa Total RNA (5.2 μg, A1 and B1) was separated into large RNA (A2 and B2) and small RNA (A3 and B3) fractions following the Purification of Small and Large RNAs into Separate Fractions Protocol and running on an Agilent Bioanalyzer® RNA Pico chip. Over 96% (5 μg) of the RNA input was recovered in the separate RNA fractions. Samples 1 and 2 were diluted 1:20 prior to analysis.

Tromping up a mountain to learn about backcountry ski mountaineering racing, host Dr. North gets a real workout. Having just flown in from Hong Kong, Dr. North has no winter gear, so borrows Strafe's Highlands Jacket. The waterproof jacket proves to keep the good doctor warm in 30 degree weather, and as he starts to work up a sweat, he discovers just how important breathability is in a jacket.
The key to staying comfortable is staying dry. While waterproof materials keep water from getting into a jacket, breathable materials allow water to escape from the inside of the jacket. Ideally you want both, and this is what Polartec's Neoshell does. During rigorous activity a person will start sweating to cool themselves, this sweat turns into water vapor inside the jacket. To allow the water vapor to escape, Neoshell has microscopic pores big enough to allow the water vapor to escape, and small enough to keep water out. By allowing the water vapor to escape, Dr. North remains dry inside the jacket, allowing him to stay warm and feeling good!

- WP worm gear reducer,also known as WP reducer, is divided into standard WPS series, standard WPD series, standard WPA, WPO.WPDA.WPDO, WPDS, WPDS and so on. The WP worm gear reducer is developed on the basis of the WD reducer. The WP worm gear reducer is made of 45# high-quality steel by heat treatment. The worm wheel is cast with tin bronze, which has good wear resistance, especially in the bearing capacity.
- It consists of a pair or pairs of meshing gears, worm gears, worms, etc., housed in a rigid, sealed enclosure, as a separate component in the machine. It is commonly used as a transmission for deceleration between the prime mover and the work machine. On the contrary, in a few occasions, such as a centrifugal compressor, it is necessary to apply a speed-increasing transmission, which is called a speed increaser.
- The WP worm gear reduceris widely used in chemical plants, mechanical machines and engineering institutions due to its compact structure, high efficiency (gear reducer), accurate and reliable transmission movement, and maintenance and use. There are many types of reducers, which can be generally classified into gears (cylindrical gears, bevel gears) and worm gear reducers.

Siemens has developed a reprogrammable hearing aid designed to adapt along with the hearing changes of the growing child.
Fitting a hearing instrument for young children with hearing loss is one of the most difficult tasks faced by audiologists. Children born with impaired hearing can only communicate to a very limited degree, and they also have different auditory perception than adults who have suffered gradual loss of hearing. In the latter case, the brain loses its capacity to perceive high frequencies. Children with hearing loss, by contrast, need the full spectrum of sounds in order to "learn how to hear."
With the help of the latest findings from the field of pediatric audiology, Siemens Audiology has now developed a hearing instrument that meets such complex requirements. In addition to covering a considerably extended frequency range, the Explorer 500 P also boasts numerous functions such as speech-sensitive noise suppression and automatic situation detection, so the instrument can adapt to the constantly changing hearing requirements of a growing child.
In the framework of the Connexx adjustment software, Siemens has integrated ClinicalFit, which features a special workflow for children that automatically selects the full range of typical settings for each age level. To fit the instrument, the technician needs only to connect the device to a computer, enter the wearer's age, the hearing impairment, and the required functions, and the software automatically does the rest — such as activating a directional microphone or a direct audio connectivity to wireless transmission systems used in kindergarten or school, for example. The latter selectively transmit a teacher's words and help to suppress ambient noise.

Usually, we think of evolution as a slow, gradual process — but Yale scientists have shown that vast changes in species can occur in just short periods of time.
A study spearheaded by Jason Shapiro GRD '14 and biology professor Paul Turner focused on the evolution of viruses and bacteria. Their report, published in the journal Evolution on Jan. 30, provides some of the first evidence to support the theory that a mutually beneficial relationship can evolve from a parasitic one.
"We wanted to see if they would evolve back to being mutualist, and in almost every case, they did," Shapiro said.
The viruses and bacteria originally had a parasitic relationship, in which the viruses thrived at the expense of the bacteria. Over time, though, they developed a mutualistic relationship, in which both parties benefited from one another's presence.
"There's very little research that examines how species can transition between [these relationships] … so that was our overarching motivation," Turner said. His and Shapiro's project is one of the few to date to show this transitory phenomenon — an approach he calls "experimental evolution."
The recent paper expanded on a previous study that Shapiro and Turner conducted, which also focused on bacteria and viruses. In the original experiment, the viruses helped the bacteria grow in a mutualistic relationship.
In the first study, the infected bacteria grew better than they had without the virus, Shapiro said. The virus and bacteria then evolved together, exhibiting a mutualistic relationship. When they cultured the evolved virus with the original generation of bacteria, however, they noticed a parasitic relationship. Shapiro and Turner reversed this parasitism back to mutualism in their recent experiment.
"When we put the viruses back into the unevolved bacteria, who they had previously helped, it now hurt them," Shapiro said. "What we wanted to know in the second paper was, could they evolve back?"
They did evolve back, taking just 20 generations to do so. M13, the virus used by the researchers, is categorized as a bacteriophage because it targets bacteria. Although mutualism and parasitism are both examples of symbiosis, or interactions between two different species, a transition from one end of the symbiotic spectrum to the other has not been observed in many research settings.
"The very satisfying outcome was that we saw movement along the continuum," Turner said.
In both experiments, the symbiotic relationship between bacteria and viruses was characterized according to whether growth of the bacteria was inhibited or enhanced by the presence of the virus. The researchers inferred a mutualistic relationship in the event of enhanced growth and parasitic one in a case of inhibited growth.
Researchers have yet to find a scientific explanation for this kind of evolutionary behavior, Shapiro said. He speculated that a potential explanation for this could be the environment in which the bacteria and viruses grew. In the study, the researchers used ice-cube tray-like microplates that contain a grid of small wells. The scientists picked these microplates over flasks, another common method for growing cultures, which differ from microplates in the amount of oxygen and intermixing allowed in the environment, Shapiro said. These differences may have shaped the way that the bacteria and virus evolved.
According to Turner, the study supports a worldview of constant change and evolution.
"Evolution is something that's taking place all of the time," Turner said. "It's a very dynamic biological world when it comes to strategies for reproduction."
He added that many people have the false assumption that the behavior of a certain species is fixed. On the contrary, his research demonstrates the elasticity of organism behavior by showing fast shifts between mutualism and parasitism.
The results of the study also have implications for disease treatment. Several important bacterial pathogens, for both humans and plants, involve viruses similar to M13. In their paper, the researchers suggest that examining virus evolution in such bacterial infections may be helpful for treatment.
Approximately 265,000 people are infected with harmful E. coli strains — the bacteria used in the study — each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In the story Earth has colonised space; its forces track the Adharan ship but they misread their activities on the annexed planets. The Adharans are not poaching treasure, they also are colonising by leaving their eggs there.
 The Terrans have assumed that the Adharans - arachnid creepy crawliesare a lesser species, mere 'poachers' but the irony is that they harbour the same colonial/ colonising impulse. With our removal of their eggs back to Earth in the mistaken belief they are treasure, they are now on the verge of colonising us!
Maybe this disaster could have been averted: the subordinate Barnes says "How is communication with this race possible?" He at least is alive to the fact that some kind of dialogue is desirable; then perhaps the Adharans would have communicated that the store is their offspring, not exotic jewels.
Meanwhile, the Adharan commander exclaims 'But what would the Terrans want with our eggs? Nothing but trouble will come, when hatching begins ....Terran minds are beyond comprehension". They certainly weren't trying to trick the humans into taking the eggs back to Earth and the whole episode is a tragic misunderstanding which could have been avoided if there had been an attempt at communication by the humans.
This theme of lack of communication is conveyed by the point of view from which the story is told. It is told from two distinct points of view, only the Adharan point of view giving the truth of the matter. Earth must try to communicate with other species in order to understand them and their goals. No doubt, Phillip Dick also has in mind encounters between colonial forces and other peoples here on Earth; here also there has been a lack of communication and understanding.

text: rom 2005 to 2007, the U.S. Geological Survey and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, conducted a study to describe the geologic framework, measure groundwater quality, characterize the groundwater-flow system, and describe the groundwater/surface-water interaction at the 60-acre Raleigh hydrogeologic research station (RHRS) located at the Neuse River Waste Water Treatment Plant in eastern Wake County, North Carolina. Previous studies have shown that the local groundwater quality of the surficial and bedrock aquifers at the RHRS had been affected by high levels of nutrients. Geologic, hydrologic, and water-quality data were collected from 3 coreholes, 12 wells, and 4 piezometers at 3 well clusters, as well as from 2 surface-water sites, 2 multiport piezometers, and 80 discrete locations in the streambed of the Neuse River. Data collected were used to evaluate the three primary zones of the Piedmont aquifer (regolith, transition zone, and fractured bedrock) and characterize the interaction of groundwater and surface water as a mechanism of nutrient transport to the Neuse River. A conceptual hydrogeologic cross section across the RHRS was constructed using new and existing data. Two previously unmapped north striking, nearly vertical diabase dikes intrude the granite beneath the site. Groundwater within the diabase dike appeared to be hydraulically isolated from the surrounding granite bedrock and regolith. A correlation exists between foliation and fracture orientation, with most fractures striking parallel to foliation. Flowmeter logging in two of the bedrock wells indicated that not all of the water-bearing fractures labeled as water bearing were hydraulically active, even when stressed by pumping. Groundwater levels measured in wells at the RHRS displayed climatic and seasonal trends, with elevated groundwater levels occurring during the late spring and declining to a low in the late fall. Vertical gradients in the groundwater discharge area near the Neuse River were complex and were affected by fluctuations in river stage, with the exception of a well completed in a diabase dike. Water-quality data from the wells and surface-water sites at the RHRS were collected continuously as well as during periodic sampling events. Surface-water samples collected from a tributary were most similar in chemical composition to groundwater found in the regolith and transition zone. Nitrate (measured as nitrite plus nitrate, as nitrogen) concentrations in the sampled wells and tributary ranged from about 5 to more than 120 milligrams per liter as nitrogen. Waterborne continuous resistivity profiling conducted on the Neuse River in the area of the RHRS measured areas of low apparent resistivity that likely represent groundwater contaminated by high concentrations of nitrate. These areas were located on either side of a diabase dike and at the outfall of two unnamed tributaries. The diabase dike preferentially directed the discharge of groundwater to the Neuse River and may isolate groundwater movement laterally. Discrete temperature measurements made within the pore water beneath the Neuse River revealed seeps of colder groundwater discharging into warmer surface water near a diabase dike. Water-quality samples collected from the pore water beneath the Neuse River indicated that nitrate was present at concentrations as high as 80 milligrams per liter as nitrogen on the RHRS side of the river. The highest concentrations of nitrate were located within pore water collected from an area near a diabase dike that was identified as a suspected seepage area. Hydraulic head was measured and pore water samples were collected from two 140-centimeter-deep (55.1-inch-deep) multiport piezometers that were installed in bed sediments on opposite sides of a diabase dike. The concentration of nitrate in pore water at a suspected seepage area ranged from 42 to 82 milligrams per liter as nitrogen with a median concentration of 79 milligrams per liter as nitrogen. On the opposite side of the dike, concentrations of nitrate in pore water samples ranged from 3 to 91 milligrams per liter as nitrogen with a median concentration of 52 milligrams per liter. At one of the multiport piezometers the vertical gradient of hydraulic head between the Neuse River and the groundwater was too small to measure. At the multiport piezometer located in the suspected seepage area, an upward gradient of about 0.1 was present and explains the occurrence of higher concentrations of nitrate near the sediment/water interface. Horizontal seepage flux from the surficial aquifer to the edge of the Neuse River was estimated for 2006. Along a 130-foot flow path, the estimated seepage flux ranged from –0.52 to 0.2 foot per day with a median of 0.09 foot per day. The estimated advective horizontal mass flux of nitrate along a 300-foot reach of the Neuse River ranged from –10.9 to 5 pounds per day with a median of 2.2 pounds per day. The total horizontal mass flux of nitrate from the surficial aquifer to the Neuse River along the 130-foot flow path was estimated to be about 750 pounds for all of 2006. Seepage meters were deployed on the bed of the Neuse River in the areas of the multiport piezometers on either side of the diabase dike to estimate rates of vertical groundwater discharge and flux of nitrate. The average estimated daily seepage flux differed by two orders of magnitude between seepage areas. The potential vertical flux of nitrate from groundwater to the Neuse River was estimated at an average of 2.5 grams per day near one of the multiport piezometers and an average of 784 grams per day at the other. These approximations suggest that under some hydrologic conditions there is the potential for substantial quantities of nitrate to discharge from the groundwater to the Neuse River.

Please help me with the words 'descent', 'ancestry', and 'lineage'. Dictionaries show that they are loosely the same:
1a. He has German descent.
1b. He is of German descent.
2a. He has German ancestry.
2b. He is of German ancestry.
3a. He has German lineage.
3b. He is of German lineage.
Could they be all the same, or are there subtle differences only known to native speakers?

There are differences. "Lineage" is the most specific of the three terms. It would be unusual to use "lineage" to mean simply ethnic identity, such as "German lineage." Rather, it refers to traceable lines of familial descent from particular ancestors, usually prestigious ones such as royalty or nobility: "My lineage goes back to the Mayflower"; "He is of Hapsburg lineage."
"Descent" is more general. "She is of Norwegian descent" simply means that her ethnic make-up is predominantly, though not necessarily entirely, Norwegian.
"Ancestry" is the converse of "descent." Ancestors have descendants. So to say "She is of Norwegian descent" implies "She has Norwegian ancestry."
However, "descent" and "ancestry" aren't precisely equivalent in common usage. Typically, "She is of Norwegian descent" indicates a predominance of Norwegian ancestors. "She has Norwegian ancestry" simply means that one or more of her forebears were Norwegian. It doesn't necessarily mean that Norwegian ancestors predominate in her lineage.
So "lineage" is the most specific, "ancestry" the least. And in idiomatic English, one usually says somebody is of a particular lineage/descent, and has a particular ancestry.
share|improve this answer
As far as I know, of the words ancestry and lineage, lineage is most suitable as noun and it defines the origin sequence of an ancestor, ancestry or pedigree.
Ancestry, on the other hand, is for the evolutionary or genetic line of descent (mostly used for plants and animals).

They mean the same thing, they just do so in slightly different ways.
We get this sense of descent from talking about the fact that he is a descendant of someone who is German. He is descended from them.
We get this sense of ancestry from talking about the fact that he has one or more German ancestors.
We get this sense of lineage, by talking about the fact that there is a line of descent from him to one or more Germans.
So they all have different reasons for meaning what they do, but they all amount to the same thing.
Lineage is the rarer of the three. If you are talking about knowledge of that exact line (as you would in terms of aristocratic titles, or genealogical research [or pedigree if he's a dog or racehorse, rather than a person]) then it would be the best as the only of the three that relates directly to that. Otherwise, one of the other two would be more commonly used, and probably advisable, though the last isn't incorrect.

From ODO on descendant: "The correct spelling for the noun meaning 'person descended from a particular ancestor' is descendant, not -ent. Descendent is a less common adjective meaning 'descending from an ancestor'. Almost 15 per cent of the citations for the term in the Oxford English Corpus use the wrong spelling." – Andrew Leach Feb 4 '13 at 10:23
_USER_ I see M-W lists -ent as a variant for both the noun and the adjective, without any warnings. Since I use the -ant variant myself I'm removing the comment on the spelling variant, but I'm not completely confident it isn't reasonable to consider it accepted, either. – Jon Hanna Feb 4 '13 at 10:30
Another difference between American English and British English, then. I was taught a noun uses -ant, (eg dependant, dependent). – Andrew Leach Feb 4 '13 at 10:32
_USER_ perhaps that's it, indeed. – Jon Hanna Feb 4 '13 at 11:43

When one substance is dissolved into another, a solution is formed. This is opposed to the situation when the compounds are insoluble and one of them precipitate like sand in water. In solution, all of the ingredients are uniformly distributed. No residue is left in the bottom. The mixing is referred to as miscibility, whereas the ability to dissolve one compound into another is known as solubility. However, in addition to mixing, both substances in the solution interact with each other. When something is dissolved, molecules of the solvent arrange themselves around molecules of the solute.
So, the answer to your question, "a substance that dissolves into another substance is what?", it is a solute. The substance that it dissolves into is the solvent. Together they make a solution.

Simple calculations can be used to help pharmacists evaluate a drug interaction and its potential to cause significant harm.
Past columns have discussed various drug interaction properties that need to be considered when assessing a specific patient for the presence of a drug interaction. Once the potential for an interaction is established, the next question is usually: "What is the risk that the interaction will cause an observable change in this patient's response to the object drug?" A few tools can help assess the risk of a potential drug interaction that is caused by inhibition of the object drug's elimination.
Changes in Drug Clearance vs Plasma Concentrations
The first thing to consider is how much change in the plasma concentration of the object drug is likely to occur. Often the magnitude of a drug interaction will be described as an average change in area under the concentration time curve (AUC) or drug clearance (Cl). If the dosage interval and bioavailability are kept constant, the AUC and average steadystate plasma concentration (Css) will be determined by the dose of drug and its clearance. The AUC and Css indicate the total exposure to a drug and are usually related to the drug's response. An increase in Cl will decrease AUC and a decrease in Cl increases AUC. If a study determines that the mean AUC of the object drug is increased by 50%, that value will approximate the mean change in the average plasma concentration and the patient's exposure to the drug.
If a study reports that the mean clearance of the object drug is decreased by 50%, this indicates that the mean AUC will increase by 100% or will double in value. The relationship between change in clearance and AUC is shown in the Table.
As can be seen from the Table, a decrease in the clearance of a drug produces a larger relative change in the AUC. A decrease in clearance ≥25% produces at least a 33% increase in the plasma concentration of the object drug. For most drugs that have linear kinetics, a 25% decrease in clearance is equivalent to increasing the dose of the object drug by 33%, because dose changes will produce equivalent changes in AUC.
Assessing the Risk Associated with a Change in Cl
Once the mean change in the concentration of the object drug is determined, one needs to consider how that degree of change relates to the usual therapeutic range of the drug. For many drugs, a change in dose of 30% to 50% will produce a change in response. For this reason, a decrease in clearance exceeding 25% to 35% is often used as an indication that a patient may experience an adverse outcome from the interaction.
If the object drug has a wide therapeutic dosage range that does not cause toxicity (ie, diazepam), larger changes in clearance may be well tolerated. Of course, patient-specific factors, such as concurrent diseases or drugs, must be considered when assessing the risk to a patient of a potential drug interaction. It is important to keep in mind that the usual interpatient variation in the magnitude of a drug interaction can be 5- to 6-fold under controlled study conditions.
By doing some simple calculations based on the reported magnitude of an interaction, it is possible to make an estimate about the potential risk to a patient. Based on the degree of risk and the benefit of administering the drugs, appropriate management options can then be selected.

Sex Mimics are Mimics (Part 2)
Sensing vs thinking and the tools needed to dispel mimetic signal falsification
We are sharing this recent article with permission from Known Heretic's Substack, written by Amy Sousa, MA Depth Psychology, _USER_ on Twitter.
You can find the original piece and more here:
The Mimic is Not the Model
Part 1 1 of this series made the observation that the word "trans" interrupts direct sense perception with cognitive dissonance. The man who calls himself "trans" is simply performing the activity of sex mimicry. "Trans" is a lens that has been engineered to indoctrinate people into interpreting the behavior of sex mimicry where the mimic is meant to be perceived as the model. Without the interpretive lens the behavior would be directly perceived for what it actually is, ie., a man in a dress is simply a man in a dress, rather than a "transwoman." The cultural trend of "trans" operates as a magician waving a magic wand and chanting "abracadabra" towards the crowd. It functionally distracts people from the authority of their own directly perceived reality and acts as a conceptual disguise that hides and transforms the reality of what is really there. The word "trans" is an attempt to magically turns the man in a dress into a "transwoman."
Referencing available research about sex mimicry in animals and plants helps provide a material way of perceiving human sex mimics. Even when faced with deception, animals respond to their environment instinctually with direct sensory perceptions. Whereas current social engineering is programming humans to deny their instincts and to respond to human sex mimics with mental analysis of cultural symbols. For multiple reasons, but most critically for safeguarding reasons, it is essential to stay grounded in our primary sensations—what our eyes, ears, and senses instantaneously convey to us about reality. When cognitive dissonance interrupts our immediate perceptions, it dissociates us from our instinctual responses and distracts us from valuable response time with mental judgments.
A man who practices sex mimicry and calls it "trans identity" is fabricating a false narrative about himself based solely on his own self-declaration and telling the rest of us to go along with his narrative of "I am what I say I am." Political and social coercion is also directed at the receivers of this false narrative, forcing us to choose between going along with the self-conception of a stranger or standing in the authority of our own body's sensed perceptions of reality. The dichotomy is one of thinking vs sensing where the thought we are being pressured to hold about this man is at odds with the directly sensed reality of our eyes and ears.

Species at Risk
What is the status of the Stinkpot turtle?
The stinkpot turtle was listed as "threatened" federally by the COSEWIC in May 2002. Is listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act, which provides protection under federal law.
The stinkpot turtle is also listed as "threatened" provincially in Ontario by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (COSSARO).
The stinkpot turtle is the smallest turtle in Canada, making it the most vulnerable to predation (from raptors etc.), even when mature.
© Parks Canada / SLINP Image Library
Why is the Stinkpot turtle in danger?
The major factor leading to the decline of Stinkpot turtles in Canada is shoreline development and the draining of wetlands.
Shoreline vegetation and adjacent aquatic plants provide the suitable that stinkpot turtles require to live. As aquatic vegetation is removed, so is the food source for stinkpot turtles. Rotten logs and abandoned muskrat houses along shorelines are required by stinkpot turtles, as they provide necessary nesting habitat. When the shoreline is altered there is less habitat to sustain stinkpot populations.
Wetland drainage has also been a major factor contributing to stinkpot turtle habitat decline. The turtles do not have the capability of traveling overland to another area when a wetland is drained. Being highly aquatic, they will dehydrate quickly and face mortality when there is insufficient water available.
Stinkpot turtles have been extirpated from particular areas due to habitat destruction, and it is estimated that there has been a 30%-50% decline in the overall population. Because of their secretive nature, stinkpot turtles can disappear from an area without anyone ever noticing.


text: Empirical evidence from French exporters presented in this paper shows that the vast majority of firms follow a strategy of market concentration when market numbers or a combination of market numbers and the share of the key markets is used as an indicator. These results are at odds with many other studies on the subject. The main reason for this is the size distribution of exporters which corresponds to Gibrat's law. In addition, industry effects and the stage of internationalisation were also found to affect the number of export markets. Given the fact that only large exporters can afford to penetrate a large number of markets and that micro-, small-, and medium-size firms constitute the majority of exporters the use of a uniform number of markets as a dividing line will automatically categorise most firms as following a strategy of market concentration. Future research on export marketing strategies should therefore be conducted with firms of similar size, the same industry and the same stage of the internationalisation process.

Manhoodv Schwannoma Could Disfigure a Handsome Penis
Beauty is just skin deep, but with regards to acquiring a handsome penis, which can be deep enough. Penis health is, clearly, a lot more important in comparison with looks in the member, however the handsome penis will elicit significantly more interest among partners especially among potential partners. Thus when something arrives that disrupts its appearance, it's really an obstacle having a man as well as the sex existence. This is often easily the issue with the design of men organ Schwannoma, that could result in a disfiguring make use of an effective penis.
Almost everyone has not discovered men organ Schwannoma, or in the Schwannoma regardless of the sort, with justification: it's pretty rare. But rare is small security in situation your guy is actually among individuals number of whose penis is location from the Schwannoma.
But what exactly is a Schwannoma anyway? To solve that, you should know just a little about nerves. Generally everybody recognizes that nerves would be the areas of the body which get stimuli – as being a touch, and send an e-mail for the mind, thus prompting an answer. (Your penis has especially sensitive nerves, and that's why why touching or fondling it so enjoyable.) every nerve within you offers what is known a nerve sheath, that's basically a layer of protective tissue which will keep the nerves safe.
When you have a Schwannoma, meaning the tumor is moving in negligence nerve sheaths. This happens only in nerve sheaths that are individuals from the peripheral central nervous system, and for that reason they're ultimately within the brain or even inside the spine-cord.
That sounds terrible, nevertheless the good factor is always that Schwannoma are benign tumors, not cancerous. But they may be supported getting a burning or stinging sensation or, alternatively, by numbness – neither being wanted within the penis.
And they also can disfigure a handsome penis because these tumors can every so often get quite large. A really small you can look like somewhat bump, but bigger ones may be several inches in space – difficult to ignore, even round the really big penis. Even if they're not causing discomfort once the penis reaches rest, they frequently occasions may become painful during sexual activity – then when too big, will make transmission impossible.
How to handle it
In situation your guy has what he thinks generally is a Schwannoma on his penis, he'll vacation in the doctor and get a powerful diagnosis. Be it determined the lump is Schwannoma, really the only treatment choice is surgical excision. Normally, this is not a genuine difficult surgery, and sometimes requires just a nearby anesthetic. There's, however, chance of nerve damage as detaching the Schwannoma could require impacting the nerve beneath the sheath.
When the tumor is extremely small land isn't causing discomfort or discomfort, the physician may recommend simply monitoring the lump. Although generally benign, if for reasons unknown a physician suspects it might be malignant, however, he then will recommend removal even if it's causing no physical problems.
Removing a Schwannoma may restore a handsome penis for the former condition, nonetheless still it needs it health labored with. Regular usage of a greater drawer penis health oil (doctors recommend Man 1 Man Oil, that's proven mild and safe for skin) might help. To be able to give you the penis optimal benefits, the bets oil contains numerous vitamins, along with a, B5, C, D and E. And it also helps when the oil contains L-carnitine, an amino acidity which supports with maintaining appropriate penis sensitivity.

افراح المقابيل - Oman Traditional music video The music of Oman has been strongly affected by the country's coastal location, with Omani sailors interacting with, and bringing back music from, Egypt, Tanzania and elsewhere. More recently, a Portuguese occupation has left its own marks, while geographic neighbors like the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Iran have also had a profound influence. In contrast to other Arab countries, Omani traditional music has a strong emphasis on rhythm. Traditional music marks all the stages in the life of an Omani, including birth, circumcision, marriage and death. In contrast to many Arab countries, all Omanis participate in music, men and women, young and old. Liwa and Fann at-Tanbura are types of music and dance performed mainly in communities of descendants of Bantu peoples from the African Great Lakes region. The Omani Centre for Traditional Music claims that Arabic music in Oman can be characterized by "tetrachords with typical Arabic intervals, including three-quarter tones taken from the Arabic musical scales; the maqamat".[1] Notable Omani musicians include Salim Rashid Suri, the "Singing Sailor", a 20th-century singer and oud player from Sur who combined strains of the ṣawt of the northern Persian Gulf and other musical traditions of the Indian Ocean as a pioneer of the genre called Ṣawt al-Khaleej ("Voice of the Gulf"). There is also a very small underground metal scene with bands like Arabia and Belos emerging from there, the former moving to the UK.

In this talk we propose a model for the extraction of a non renewable resource in an economy where, initially, only one agent is enabled to perform extraction tasks. However, at certain non predictable (random) times, more companies receive the government's approval for extracting the country's resources. We provide a set up suitable for the use of standard dynamic programming results for both, the competitive and cooperative schemes; we develop the corresponding HJB equations, prove a verification theorem, and give an example. Our framework is inspired by the trends that oil industries are experiencing in countries like Mexico and Russia.

CEBAF upgrade test a success
Jefferson Lab's CEBAF accelerator,
is shown during installation.
DOE's Jefferson Lab is in the midst of a $310 million upgrade project to provide physicists worldwide with an unprecedented ability to study the basic building blocks of matter. Now, key components of the upgrade to the lab's particle accelerator have aced a rigorous test conducted under real operating conditions, confirming that the newly designed, state-of-the art components meet specification.
The lab's CEBAF accelerator delivers beams of electrons for probing the protons, neutrons, quarks and gluons in the nucleus of the atom. The upgrade will enhance the research capabilities of the accelerator by doubling the energy of its electron beam from 6 billion electron-Volts (GeV) to 12 GeV, along with other upgrades and additions. To increase the energy of the CEBAF accelerator, 10 new sections, called cryomodules, will be added.
Last fall, the first two of the new cryomodules were installed, along with the new microwave-power sources needed to power them. Since October, the two have been operated along with the accelerator's more than 40 original cryomodules, delivering electron beam for the lab's experimental program.
One of the new cryomodule-plus-microwave systems was given a chance to shine on April 26, when accelerator operators ran the first full operational tests, while also delivering high-current beam.
For the test, operators ramped up the microwave-power system that powers the cryomodules. The voltage hit 98 Megavolts (98 million volts), the value that each of the 10 new cryomodules will need to provide in order to accelerate an electron beam to 12 GeV. The system reached this base specification and maintained the performance for more than an hour without faulting or developing a problem that would cause the electron beam to automatically trip off. The tests were conducted at the highest beam power anticipated for the planned research program.
"This test has demonstrated that the integrated cryomodule plus microwave-power system can successfully deliver the performance that was envisioned in 2001, and which is needed for the planned nuclear physics research program in the 12 GeV era," said Leigh Harwood, associate project manager for the 12 GeV Upgrade project. "The critical new technology for upgrading the accelerator to 12 GeV is now a demonstrated fact."
"This is the first time that we were able to demonstrate performance with a real beam. And we were delivering the highest-quality, parity beams to all three halls during this period of time. So, they are not just performing, they are performing to all of the requirements that we know how to put on," said Andrew Hutton, Jefferson Lab associate director of the Accelerator Division.
Further tests of the one cryomodule, dubbed SL-25 for its current location in the accelerator, later surpassed the base specification. The cryomodule voltage was increased in 2 Megavolt steps to 104 Megavolts, while the cryomodule continued to deliver high-current beam, demonstrating that capability for more than an hour. A later test, performed May 18, achieved high-current running at 108 Megavolts for a full hour, meaning the cryomodule performed more than 10 percent better than its base specification, meeting the desired performance goal for providing highly reliable, high-energy operation.
"The base specification is that it should be able to produce 98 Megavolts, but everything is sized 10 percent bigger than that, such that if there were to be a weak cavity, the others could be pushed, which is in fact what we did during this test," Hutton explained. "This achievement is a credit to the teams that designed, built, installed and commissioned the cryomodules, the microwave systems and controls."
Further testing of either of the two installed cryomodules was curtailed due to time constraints.
Meanwhile, Jefferson Lab is moving forward with work to upgrade the accelerator. At 8:18 a.m. on May 18, the accelerator was shut off to allow the upgrade to proceed. The upgrade entails the installation of additional cryomodules, microwave systems, arc magnets and other components. Already complete is the construction of a fourth experimental hall, a 250-foot extension to the lab's underground accelerator tunnel, and new utilities; installation of the detector system in that fourth hall has already begun.
The 12 GeV Upgrade project is expected to be completed in 2015.

Epigraphic evidence on public building: shifting procedures or shifting perspectives?
My second post will focus on some methodological considerations prompted by the study of 5th and 4th c. Attic inscriptions, in particular building specifications and building commission accounts. As I proceed with my research, I am becoming increasingly aware of the extent to which the correct interpretation of the nature and function of these inscriptions is essential for a proper understanding of the information they provide.
At risk of stating the obvious, I would like to make some preliminary remarks. I fully subscribe to the view that inscriptions are the final stage of long and often complex political and administrative procedures. As such, inscriptions on stone are usually an abridged version of more detailed dossiers written on perishable materials, which recorded all stages of the procedure and were stored in public archives. Inscriptions did not simply perform the duty of making public certain acts of the city: in Athens this function – as a number of sources attest – could be performed also by wooden tablets or whitewashed boards (e.g. sanidia, pinakia, leukomata), on which new documents were displayed in public for a certain amount of time (e.g. on a wall in the Bouleuterion, on the base of the monument of the Eponymous Heroes, etc.). Rather, inscriptions were meant as enduring monuments, designed to perpetuate the memory of certain acts that were considered relevant to the city and its values[1].
In line with this approach, the study of building specifications has confirmed that the publication on stone did not meet the practical need of conveying instructions to the potential contractors. In most cases, their goal was to underline the nature and importance of a particular building initiative undertaken by the polis. That is why building specifications usually record no more than a general outline of the project, with a selective emphasis on certain aspects that were more relevant to the public than to the contractors[2]. The same tendency can be seen at work also in the case of public accounts: lapidary accounts must be considered a selection of the primary working documents rather than a full record of the transactions for which the public officials were responsible. In most cases, the publication on stone aimed to affirm the principles of the Athenian administrative system and to meet political or religious preoccupations, depending on the specific object of the account. In other words, the symbolic value prevailed over the practical function[3].
This has important methodological consequences for my own research. An inscription is no neutral record: in order properly to assess a given text, I will always have to consider the specific episodes, as well as the general political context, which prompted its publication on stone[4]. Moreover, I will assume that inscriptions are usually a concise and 'monumental' version of more detailed dossiers, so that the lack of certain pieces of information does not imply that such information was missing in the original dossier. The choice to underline some details at the expense of others reflects the political and symbolic function of the inscription rather than the actual working of the administrative procedure from which the inscription originates.
I will give just an example of the importance of these assumptions for my research. As regards the system of labor recruitment, Attic building inscriptions are usually taken to reflect a gradual shift: while in the 5th c. the city tended to opt for the direct hiring of workers and small craftsmen, in the 4th c. there is an apparent shift towards the contracting out of works to bigger entrepreneurs[5]. However, building specifications and commission accounts are two distinct categories of inscriptions, with a slightly different agenda. As such, they focus on different aspects of the procedure leading to the construction of public buildings and offer a selection of the original details, according to their respective agendas. A word of caution, then, may be in order: 5th c. sources consist mainly of building accounts, whereas 4th c. sources consist mainly of building specifications. This being the case, are we still in a position confidently to state that there was a shift in labor recruitment? Could it not be the case that this is an unwarranted conclusion based on the shifting perspectiveof our evidence?

Research center:
Lead researcher:
Project funded:
September 2020
Anticipated completion date:
August 2021
This study will address the following research questions:
 1. What are the characteristics and intensity of the services (e.g. evaluation and management [E&M] services, other procedures) provided by Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)?
 2. Are there differences in the intensity and type of clinical services provided by various types of RHCs (i.e. provider-based versus independent) and across the rural continuum and/or census divisions/regions?
 3. What are the most common diagnoses for services provided to Medicare beneficiaries?
 4. What types of non-RHC services are RHCs billing to Medicare Part B (e.g. care management, telehealth, inpatient E&M services, other procedures)?
 5. How do estimated fee for service payments to RHCs under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' changes to the outpatient E&M codes in 2021 compare to the 2021 per-visit reimbursement cap?

Administering a bitter pill to a sick pet, often a very difficult task even for the experienced Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). Many pet medications are so bitter that Pharmacists cannot reformulate them into a more palatable liquid, no matter what flavoring they add. Medication like these can naturally cause a cat (or dog) to salivate heavily. Not just a watery mouth but that foamy, shoe string type of salivation. Unpleasant enough for the one administering the medication. Imagine how unpleasant for the patient! Well, there is an easier way to give these bitter medications with little or no taste at all. In fact, this method may allow you to combine two or more compatible pet medications in small doses. Gel caps provide a convenient means of masking the unpleasant taste of those bitter pills. Following this tutorial should help you to speed your sick pet toward recovery.
Things You'll Need:
* Size 0 (or smaller) Gelatin Capsules
* Pill cutter
* Mortar & Pestle
* Pet Piller
* Bath towel
1. Use clean/DRY fingers to twist and open a size 0 Gelatin Capsule. Lay the halves down onto a dry surface where you can keep track of them and keep them from rolling away.
Size 0 Gelatin Capsule
2. Prepare the objectionable medication by cutting it into the proper dosage and fitting it into the capsule, if it is small enough. Mortar & Pestles provide one means of crushing medications in tablet form, although the back of a spoon will also work. Fold a piece of paper and use it to "funnel" the crushed medication into the longer half of the capsule. Insert the longer half into the shorter half and compress it as small as it will go, without damaging the smooth-rounded ends of the capsule. With a clean dry napkin, wipe away any residue from the capsule as well as your fingers. This will keep the bitter taste from transferring to the outside of the gel cap and defeating the purpose.
3. Forcing the gel cap down the cats' throat using a finger being an option, safer methods do exist. Instead of risking injury to a finger or that little mouth filled with razor sharp teeth, ask your Veterinarian about pet pillers. A 'pet piller,' a handy device about the diameter if an ink pen which incorporates a mechanical plunger and a soft split-rubber tip. This tool works similar to a syringe in that it allows you to 'inject' the medication down the back of the throat. When done properly, the animal will swallow the medication quickly without spitting it back out. Like most new things, this takes practice to perfect.
4. Draw back the plunger and insert the capsule into the split-rubber tip of the pill popper. Lay the pet piller down and prepare the patient. Immobilize the legs by wrapping the cat tightly in a bath towel. While trying to make it comfortable, you need to keep it from struggling and protect yourself from sharp claws. If you do this by yourself, lay the wrapped kitty lengthwise between your legs or across your lap, and hold it in place with your forearm.
5. Gently grasp and immobilize the cat's head from behind, with one hand, your thumb and middle finger on either side of the mouth. Be careful not to hold the mouth shut. With your free hand, hold the pet piller with your thumb or forefinger on the plunger. Be prepared as the cat will naturally struggle! Gently but firmly apply pressure to both back corners of the mouth, working the jaw open. When the mouth opens, quickly insert the popper & capsule [just to the back of the throat] and squeeze the plunger. The capsule will then pop out of the applicator and down the throat. Hold the cats mouth shut for a few seconds, gently massaging the throat while blowing in its face. It should close it's eyes and swallow the capsule without biting into it. If it bites the capsule and releases the bitterness of the medication, it may work it back up and out with its' tongue. It may also vomit the medication out. If this happens, allow your pet to recover from the experience before attempting it again. Negativity will only reinforce fear and encourage your pet to struggle and loathe the entire process.
* Talk to your cat in a soothing manner, to reduce anxiety during this process.
* If you get bitten, do your best not to react to it. Negative action on your part will only increase the cats' fear and discomfort making it more difficult next time.
* Rather than giving the cat a near empty gel cap, fill it with crushed cat vitamins, supplements or wet food. Near-empty capsules are harder to swallow.
* Try loading wet food outside of the gel cap, to provide a familiar taste & incentive to swallow.
* Administering the medication just after the cat has eaten makes it easier to swallow, since the mouth is wet and the throat is more relaxed.
* If the first attempt fails, you will likely have to reload the med into a fresh capsule, since the gel quickly dissolves when wet. A wet/slippery capsule will not stay in the applicator!
* Finish all medications in the proper dosages and time allotted, unless directed otherwise by the DVM.
* Do not administer medications on an empty stomach, unless specified by your Veterinarian.

RFC (Request for Comments)
The Request For Comments (RFC) are a collection of documents about various topics of the Internet, containing protocol specifications and alike.
It is important to understand that not all RFC documents are protocol specifications; the main categories are: Informational, Proposed Standard, Draft Standard, Standard, Experimental, Best Current Practice and For Your Information. RFC documents may also extend or update a given other RFC document, or make it obsolete. There are even April 1st jokes, which can easily be recognized by the date of publication and the often odd title and abstract.
You will find all RFC documents at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC repository. An useful address is The RFC Editor where you can search for specific keywords in order to find relevant RFC documents (and even Internet Drafts, which are drafted potential RFC documents).
RFC's are typically referenced by their number, so you might see something like "the TCP RFC 793" or only "RFC 793" in a document.
Assigned numbers
Various official assignments of protocol numbers and other properties can be found at the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)'s Protocol Numbers and Assignment Services page. This information used to be maintained in the Assigned Numbers RFC. but the last of those was RFC 1700, which is now outdated.
RFC 1166 has an out-of-date list of IP address ranges. To find out to whom an IP address belongs, you can use various "WHOIS" services:

ReZeitKon (German acronym for Time Rebound, Time Wealth and Sustainable Consumption) is an interand transdisciplinary research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
ReZeitKon is a joint project between TU Berlin (Division of Economic Education and Sustainable Consumption), Leuphana University Lüneburg (Institute for Environmental Communication) and the Fraunhofer Institute for System and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe.
The project is accompanied by an advisory board including prominent representatives of relevant civil society institutions who have a longstanding expertise regarding the relationship between time and resource use with regard to work, education and consumption.
The concept of time wealth is explored in a variety of academic disciplines since the 1990s. Also in society, we can observe an increasing awareness towards the importance of time and time use for quality of life.
The way people deal with time has manifold consequences for society and environment. Time wealth and sufficiency are closely interrelated and can reinforce each other, whereas a lack of time might induce negative environmental implications, for example compensatory consumption.
So far, the literature defines time-rebound effects as additional use of natural resources due to free time, which result from the application of efficient technology and practices or the reduction of working hours. In parallel to such additional environmental effects, a more intensive use of time often also increases subjective perceptions of time pressure.
The objective of the ReZeitKon project is to empirically analyse the importance of time-rebound effects for sustainable consumption. In addition, we develop and evaluate measures that increase time wealth and at the same time reduce time-rebound effects.

10 U.S. Code § 6254 - Availability of appropriations
The Secretary of the Navy may spend from appropriations for the pay of the Navy or the Marine Corps, as appropriate, amounts necessary to provide and replace medals of honor, Navy crosses, distinguished-service medals, silver star medals, and Navy and Marine Corps Medals, and associated bars, emblems, and insignia.
Historical and Revision Notes
6254 34 U.S.C. 359 (less proviso). Feb. 4, 1919, ch. 14, § 6 (less proviso), 40 Stat. 1056; renumbered § 8 and amended Aug. 7, 1942, ch. 551, § 1, 56 Stat. 744.
The words "the appropriations for the pay of the Navy or the Marine Corps, as appropriate", are substituted for the words "the appropriation 'Pay, subsistence, and transportation of naval personnel' ", to identify by a general description, rather than by the specific appropriation title, the appropriation authorized to be used. Specific appropriation titles vary from one appropriation act to the next. The permanent authority contained in 34 U.S.C. 359 for the Secretary of the Navy to use appropriations available for the pay of the Navy and the Marine Corps is not affected by a change in the titles of those appropriations nor is it affected by a specific authorization in an appropriation act to use, during the life of the act, a different type of appropriation.
