We each have our own unique FINGERPRINTS. 'Fingerprint' is a compound word formed from 'finger' and 'print'.
The human body is described using dozens of words and everything from head to toe is given a name. To describe the various parts of the head we have words such as hair, scalp, eye, EYELASH, skull, nose, FOREHEAD, teeth, ear and lip.
To describe parts of the midsection we have more words, such as heart, chest, thorax, BREASTBONE, rib, stomach, HEARTBEAT, kidney, liver and diaphragm.
To describe arms and limbs we have even more words, such as elbow, bicep, FOREARM, wrist, leg, ankle, toe, TOENAIL, knee, shin and finger.
From looking at what is written above we notice that some words are written in capitals. Could you guess the significance of these words? Your answer would be correct if you guessed that the words are compound words.
EYELASH is a compound word formed from EYE and LASH. FOREHEAD is a compound word formed from FORE and HEAD. Similarly, the other compound words are formed from two smaller words.
Compound words have a very simple structure. The two words are placed side by side to form the new word. Once the word has been formed the order of the word cannot be interchanged. For instance, BREASTBONE will always be BREASTBONE and never BONEBREAST.
Compound words can be formed by words belonging to any category of words and the new word may or may not have meanings related to the words used. Though different parts of the body have unique names which are root words (or base words) we require new words to describe some parts or processes of the body and such words are usually compound words formed from two other words.
The quiz that follows tests you on your understanding of compound words that are medical terms and words used to describe the anatomy.


How can I find out my Flood Zone?
If you live in the FNSB, you can contact the Flood Plain Administrator in the Community Planning Department at 459-1260.
When are Floodplain Permits required?
Before a person starts construction on any new or substantially improved structure, place any moveable structures such as a manufactured home, alter or relocate any watercourse, perform any other development (manmade change to improved or unimproved real estate, including, but not limited to , buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filing, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations or storage of equipment or materials) within special flood hazard area (SFHA), or excavate or remove material within 250 feet of the centerline of the Tanana Levee structure.
Is there a fee for a Floodplain Permit?
No, FNSB does not charge for a Floodplain Permit. We have 30 days to process Floodplain Permits.
The certificate is issued by the FNSB Flood Plain Administrator pursuant to the requirements of FNSB 15.04.055 certifying that at the time of issuance, development described in the certificate was in compliance with the floodplain management requirements of the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
How do I obtain a Certificate of Compliance?
After you receive your Floodplain Permit and your project has been substantially completed, you will submit a certified statement or report from a registered engineer, architect, certified hydrologist or land surveyor, whichever is applicable, stating that your development complies with applicable requirements and standards set forth in FNSB Title 15 no later than 60 days after obtaining a finished construction elevation certificate or flood-proofing certificate, if required. At a minimum, this will include an elevation certificate certifying the elevation of the lowest finished floor (including basement) of all new and substantially improved buildings; a report stating that the ability of the channel to adequately carry floodwater will be maintained at the same capacity as prior to alteration for watercourse alteration or relocation; a Zero Rise Certification for construction, fill or other development in a regulatory floodway.
Is my Flood Insurance Policy activated at the time of purchase?
No, there is a 30-day waiting period from date of purchase before your policy goes into effect.
Yes, because FNSB participates in the NFIP you can buy flood insurance to cover the contents of your home or business.
How can I find out what my Flood Risk is?
The NFIP is managed by FEMA and contains three components: flood insurance, floodplain management and flood hazard mapping. Participation in the NFIP is determined by whether the community adopts and enforces floodplain management ordinances in exchange for the protection of federal flood insurance availability to its citizens.
Flood zones are land areas identified by FEMA. Each flood zone describes that land area in terms of its risk of flooding. Everyone lives in a flood zone it's just a question of whether you live in a low, moderate, or high risk area.
Land areas that are at high risk for flooding are called SFHAs or floodplains. These areas are indicated on Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). In high-risk areas, there is at least a 1 in 4 chance of flooding during a 30-year mortgage.
The BFE is the height of the base (1-percent-annual-chance) flood, usually in feet, in relation to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29), the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), or other datum reference in the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report, or average depth of the base flood, usually in feet, above the ground surface.
What is a Flood Elevation Certificate (EC)?
An EC is an administrative tool of the NFIP which is used to provide elevation information necessary to ensure compliance with the community floodplain management ordinances, to determine the proper insurance premium rate, or support a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA).
A LOMA is an official amendment, by letter, to an effective NFIP map. A LOMA establishes a property's location in relation to the SFHA. The letter becomes effective on the date sent.
How long does it take to obtain a LOMA, LOMR-F and LOMR?
Upon receipt of all required data a LOMA or LOMR-F, FEMA issues a determination within 60 days. Upon receipt of all required data to support a LOMR, FEMA issues a determination within 90 days.
How can I apply for a LOMA?
The 100-year flood (base flood) is a climatic average, that is, there is a one percent chance a 100-year flood will happen in any given year. The base flood could occur more than once in a relatively short period of time.
What is my chance of flooding over a 30-year mortgage?
Over a 30-year mortgage, there is a 26% chance you'll have a 100-year flood (base flood).
What are the recurrence intervals (estimate of the likelihood of an event) and probabilities of occurrences?
A water pipe on the second floor burst causing a flood of water throughout my home. Is this a flood loss?
No, this is defined as a water loss and would not be covered under the NFIP.
Is water seeping through the exterior of my home and flooding the inside a flood loss?
No, unless the NFIP definition of a flood is met (see "What is a flood?").

Bosnia: US helicopters hit four times by lasers; caused eye injuries
05 Nov 1998 -- Categories: Aviation incidents | Eye effect or injury | Terror or attack concerns
The following news story was broadcast November 4 1998 at 6:31 p.m. EST by the Voice of America:
Intro: The pilot and a crewman on an American helicopter were hurt recently (October 24 1998) when someone fired a laser at their aircraft patrolling over Bosnia-Herzegovina. The men were able to land safely but this, and similar incidents in the Balkans, have sparked concern among U.S. air crews. U.S. military officials and police in Bosnia are investigating the incidents, and the U.S. Army says it is now changing the way it uses its helicopters. VOA's Jim Randle reports from the Pentagon.
Text: Pentagon officials say U.S. helicopters have been hit by lasers four times in Bosnia. Officials say one case caused 'mild to moderate' eye injuries when the laser light stayed on the aircraft for four or five seconds. The pilot and a sergeant were both treated for eye injuries, and both are expected to recover and be able to resume flying.
Nevertheless, Pentagon officials say the Army is changing the way It uses helicopters over Bosnia to lessen the danger to pilots -- but will give few details.
Pentagon spokesman Mike Doubleday did say pilots now have some protection from the laser threat: "What we've done to deal with the situation is to provide helicopter crews with either special glasses or goggles that protect their eyes in these situations."
An expert in weapons technology says the pilots have good reason for concern. John Pike studies strategic issues for the Federation of American Scientists. He says four thousand Iranian soldiers suffered eye injuries, including blindness, when Iraqi forces swept powerful lasers across their ranks during the Iran-Iraq War.
Mr. Pike said, "It was a lot easier for them to injure those soldiers using a laser than it was to kill them by hitting them with a bullet. And the thing is that an injured soldier is a lot more of a burden to a military than a dead soldier is, because every injured soldier requires several more to get him back to the hospital."
Mr. Pike says the Iranian battlefield lasers were those used by tanks to determine the range to a target. Other lasers are used to guide bombs and shells to targets with great precision.
Lasers are used by many nations, including the United States, in tanks, anti-aircraft weapons and to disrupt electronic devices.
Mr. Pike says recent treaties [the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons, a 1995 amendment to the 1980 Geneva Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons] labeled weapons specifically designed to blind soldiers as "inhumane" and banned their use. But he says with so many lasers playing so many battlefield roles, it will be difficult to enforce the ban on these weapons.

Croatia vs Spain Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions
class="article_teaser__2t5do">Dalic's men triumphed when these two nations met at the previous European Championships but Goal is backing La Roja to come out on top at Euro 2020
Spain face Croatia in the last-16 of Euro 2020 on Monday with Luis Enrique's men aiming to build on their impressive win in their final group game against Slovakia.
La Roja recorded a 5-0 success on Wednesday night, the biggest victory of the competition so far, and the result has gone a long way to restoring the team's confidence after a pair of sub-par performances against Sweden and Poland.
Croatia, meanwhile, secured a spot in the knockout stages with a 3-1 win over Scotland, although that was only their third victory in their last 11 matches.
Croatia vs Spain Latest Odds
The runners up from the 2018 World Cup are clear outsiders on Monday evening, with bet365 offering Croatia at 5/1 (6.00) to win in 90 minutes and 5/2 (3.50) to qualify.
Spain, for their part, are priced at 3/5 (1.60) to win without extra time and at 2/7 (1.28) to progress with the draw at 27/10 (3.70).
Croatia vs Spain Team News
Luis Enrique made changes for the final group game with Eric Garcia coming in at centre back to replace Pau Torres, while Cesar Azpilicueta replaced Marcos Llorente at right-back.
It remains to be seen whether the manager reverts to his original back four, while up-front Pablo Sarabia impressed with a goal and will be hoping to fight off competition from Ferran Torres for a starting berth alongside Alvaro Morata and Gerard Moreno.
Croatia are without defender Dejan Lovren after the former Liverpool man picked up two yellow cards in the group stages whilst Ivan Perisic is unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19.
Croatia vs Spain Preview
Both sides put in strong performances in the final group games yet will be acutely aware that the difficulty of opponent will significantly increase on Monday afternoon.
Despite the 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia, question marks remain over Spain's ability to be clinical in the final third, with Luis Enrique's men only scoring two or more goals in four of their last 13 games.
At the very least, though, La Roja are difficult to beat, losing just one game in three years – during which time they have avoided defeat against the likes of Germany, Portugal, and the Netherlands.
They might not dazzle often, but they are a tough opponent and Spain will once look to dictate the tempo of the game through possession.
Croatia, for their part, are not the strongest outfit defensively with their only two clean sheets in the last 19 matches coming against Cyprus and Malta.
That run has seen them concede four goals against France and Portugal and three goals against Turkey, and while Spain are not the most prolific side, they certainly look like a stronger unit than Zlatko Dalic's men.

Croatia vs Spain Tips and Predictions
Spain to win and under 3.5 goals is priced at 6/5 (2.20) which is an appealing option, while backing La Roja to keep their third clean sheet of the tournament at 9/10 (1.90) could also be of interest.

Lawmakers Consider Loan Forgiveness For Shuttered Ball State Charters
By Rachel Morello
Kyle Stokes / StateImpact Indiana
Charter School of the Dunes students listen to a math lesson.
The Associated Press reports Indiana lawmakers might forgive $12 million in loans to struggling charter schools no longer authorized by Ball State:
The Indiana Department of Education loaned roughly $12.9 million to eight charter schools to help with startup costs, and they still owe $12 million to the state, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Seven whose charters were revoked by Ball State University in January would be absolved of payments, along with another school which did not seek to renew its charter.
"Why did they get their charter revoked?" asked Senate Appropriations Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville. "If they were (educating students) and it was a good faith effort and they were in good standing at that time, maybe it should be paid for them."
The Senate has budgeted roughly $80 million to repay loans taken out by a range of charter schools, many of them performing well by state standards. The goal of the loan program was to put charter schools on equal footing with public schools. Because charter schools operate on a calendar year — unlike the state budget — each one started out having to find six months' worth of operational money, which the state answered with loans, Kenley said Monday.
"So what we're doing is funding what we should have funded when we first started this exercise," he said. But he added that fiscal analysts are working fast to determine if the revoked charters should share in that benefit.
Because charter schools are public schools, the loans come from the same fund that helps traditional school corporations. Advocates argue if school districts have to pay back the state, so should charters.
At least one of the schools facing closure, Charter School of the Dunes in Gary, has found a new sponsor — Calumet College. The others are appealing their charter revocation or seeking another authorizer.
To one commenter on the "Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education" Facebook page, the loan forgiveness plan sounds like a "bailout." Do you agree with her? Or is Kenley right in asking for assistance for a school that made "a good faith effort"? Let us know in the comments.

H. Upmann Factory: Two Giants under a Roof
December 15, 2014 Claudia Puszkar
The building is enormous, but, because the street is narrow and densely built-up, at first glance it appears humbler than it really is. The building is located at Calle Amistad No. 407 and 409, between Calle Dragones and Calle Barcelona.
Alonso Menéndez and José Manuel "Pepe" García, owners of the H. Upmann brand and the then-brand-new Montecristo brand, moved here in 1944. Relatively new to the cigar business, Menéndez and García had just taken over H. Upmann from the British firm J. Frankau & Co., and Montecristo had only been in business since 1935. But they chose a good neighborhood, that of the Partagás factory, to settle in.
This legendary building is almost hidden behind the former Partagás factory, along the rear side of Havana's Capitol.
Despite its size and location – directly behind the Capitol – their factory on Calle Amistad is rather nondescript and can be hard to find. If you walk along the left side of the former Partagás factory onto Calle Dragones, turning right at the next intersection, you'll be at the right spot. Today, the building is no longer used as a factory. Although many Cuban brands and factories were nationalized after 1960, production at the H. Upmann factory continued uninterrupted; production was relocated to Calle 23 in 2003. The building then stood empty for a few years, with neighborhood women monitoring the entrance.

As is typical in Cuba, security personnel also occupied the building, probably to prevent people from turning the abandoned space into a residence. On our last visit, we entered via the main floor: everything looked as though the workers had just gone home after their shift.
There was even a poster left hanging on the wall that featured, among other how-to's, instructions on solving conflicts between individual and collective problems. The door of the old freight elevator still bore the date 1844 and the name H. Upmann – good visual confirmation of the brand's existence at this location and during the correct period.
Standing next to the elevator on the ground floor, the view to the uppermost floors was open. A large, wide staircase led to the top, but, unfortunately, its use was not permitted during our visit.
Today, in 2014, the building has been fully renovated. It is now a school by the name of IPU Gerardo Abreu Fontan.
Besides its function as the H. Upmann factory, this building is firstly and foremostly the home of the Montecristo. It is not the brand's "cradle" – the first cigars came out of a building on Calle 23 – but for over half a century it has been tied to the Montecristo name. The simplicity of the Montecristo logo, with its three stylized lines, echoes the building's utility and functionality.
No longer used as a cigar factory, the building now houses a school.
After all, Menéndez's priority was to create perfect cigars. A prosperous Spaniard, Menéndez had a lot of tobacco industry experience under his belt. In collaboration with an equally experienced cigar man, "Pepe" García, his goal was to produce an extraordinary cigar. They registered their cigars under the Montecristo name for the first time in 1935, having spent over a decade developing the brand and its formats. Their efforts were rewarded: the brand quickly became well known and beloved throughout the world.
In 1937, Menéndez was able to acquire the H. Upmann brand with the money he had earned with Montecristo. The cigar's five original formats, Montecristos No. 1 to No. 5, are still available, and today, the portfolio contains everything that a cigar-lover's heart might desire.
According to Nancy Stout's 1998 book, Habanos: the Story of the Havana Cigar, which is filled with many personal anecdotes, there had already been a factory in this building – namely that of the Carvajal company, run by heirs to the once-famous Cabañas brand.
In theory, it is absolutely possible. Over the years, it was common in Havana for multiple occupants to use the same buildings as cigar factories or even temporary tobacco warehouses.
Because Havana's brisk cigar manufacture took place in a relatively compact municipal area during that era, it is fascinating to constantly stumble across places that have harbored multiple brands within their walls.
However, we could not find confirmation in the factory register or in brand registers that the Carvajal brand had actually been housed on Calle Amistad.
