The brake horsepower is the amount of power output by the engine. It is represented by bhp. It is a theoretical approach for power measurement. It also includes frictional losses of the engine. The measurement of brake horsepower is carried out under controlled conditions in a laboratory. The measurement is done on either the crankshaft or the wheels of the system. A braking force is applied to balance the engine’s output force. Then, the output torque and rotational speed of the engine are measured. The brake horsepower is always higher than the horsepower.1bph is equal to 1.013869 hp.

Barcodes on products are perfect for speeding up checkout. It eliminate manually keying in product details like price, quantity, and item code. Not only is this faster for the customer and cashier, but it also eliminates errors from manual entry. Retailers can also put barcodes on receipts. Many POS systems can create a barcode for a transaction that stores information related to the sale. Receipt barcodes can include the following information: * Date and time of purchase * Store number, if multiple locations * Register number * Associate or staff name * Item price * Coupons or discounts used * Method of payment If a cashier can scan a receipt and immediately access these details, it drastically speeds up the return or exchange process.

the objective of signal design is to produce a design that yields safe and efficient operation for the prevailing conditions. this objective is accomplished by making design choices that are tailored to the specific facility conditions. signal timing settings (as described in chapter 5) can be changed as needed to accommodate changes in traffic demand, pattern, but signal design elements are relatively static and are typically more difficult (or costly) to change and thus are discussed as an introduction. the efficiency of an intersection is directly impacted by its signal design, and the detection layout can have a significant effect on the safety associated with high-speed intersection approaches (2).

A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, and set apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.[1] Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although, like the much larger oceans, they do form part of the Earth's water cycle. Lakes are distinct from lagoons, which are generally coastal parts of the ocean. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which also lie on land, though there are no official or scientific definitions.[2] Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which usually flow in a channel on land. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams.

While very rare, your dog is not immune from developing a cavity at some point during her lifetime.

Inside the Tor network, sites cannot use regular domain names. Instead, they use pseudo-domain names ending in .onion. These domain names are not registered with a central authority but are instead derived from cryptographic keys.

Clinicians realize that making an accurate diagnosis relies on the provision of reliable information by patients and their family members and that timely, astute, and compassionate care depends on effective bidirectional communications (between the patient and the physician). Unfortunately, both patients and physicians are often challenged by complicated communications; each group withholds, distorts, obfuscates, fabricates, or lies about information that is crucial to the doctor-patient relationship and to effective treatment. What doctors reveal, withhold, or distort matters greatly to their patients.1 Such untruths and manipulation of information can damage relationships and compromise clinical care.

Although experts agree that no single factor can cause a nonviolent person to act aggressively, some studies (though not all) suggest that heavy exposure to violent media can be a risk factor for violent behavior. Children who are exposed to multiple risk factors -- including substance abuse, aggression, and conflict at home -- and also consume violent media are more likely to behave aggressively.

In electronics and electrical engineering, it is by convention we define a point in a circuit as a reference point. This reference point is known as ground (or GND) and carries a voltage of 0V. Voltage measurements are relative measurements. That is, a voltage measurement must be compared to another point in the circuit. If it is not, the measurement is meaningless. The ground reference point is often, but not always—more on this later—represented by a standard ground symbol.

Conventional desk and preliminary site studies may yield insufficient information to assess such factors as the blocky nature of rocks, the exact location of fault zones, or the stand-up times of softer ground. This may be a particular concern in large-diameter tunnels. To give more information, a pilot tunnel (or "drift tunnel") may be driven ahead of the main excavation. This smaller tunnel is less likely to collapse catastrophically should unexpected conditions be met, and it can be incorporated into the final tunnel or used as a backup or emergency escape passage.

Strictly speaking, when telescopes look at the light from distant galaxies, they are not literally looking back in time. The past no longer exists, so no one can directly look at it. Instead, the telescopes are looking at the present-time pattern of a beam of light. Since the beam of light has been traveling through the mostly-empty vacuum of space for millions of years, it has been largely undisturbed. Therefore, the present-time pattern of this beam of light is the same as the pattern that it had when it was first created by the distant galaxy millions of years ago. By looking at the present-time state of a beam of light, we can thus infer what the galaxy that created the light looked like millions of years ago.

Along with a vapor rub, steam is highly recommended during illness and congestion. It helps to keep the nasal passageways moisturized, loosens up mucus in the chest and sinuses, and relieves stuffiness. There is an ancient history to medicinal steam baths Herbal steam baths have been popular all over the world in many ancient civilizations and cultures. From the Mongols to the Mayans, and the Romans to the Native Americans, steam baths have been used for more than just beauty and luxury; they were originally utilized for the healing properties that steamy, fragrant baths provide.

It's only necessary to capitalize other pronouns when they begin a sentence. However, the pronoun "I" is always capitalized, no matter where it falls in a sentence. - I don't know about you, but I would wait for it to go on sale. - He said that we can go home, but I’d wait to hear from the manager. - Sandra and I are going to the movies later tonight.

In computer animation, a T-pose, also known as a bind pose or reference pose, is a default pose for a 3D model's skeleton before it is animated.

Out of all these tips, the one to watch out for the most is the proper storage. The FDA revealed that when the disinfecting wipes are stored in extreme temperature areas that make them either too hot or too cold, the wipes can dry out, and the ingredients will undergo some changes. This implies that the ingredients responsible for preventing mold and bacteria growth on the disinfecting wipes will break down and be rendered useless. And since the growth of mold and bacteria is faster in warmer places, if your storage location is too hot, there is a great chance the wipes will grow mold.

During the Middle Ages in Europe, most people lived in small, isolated villages. If people traveled at all, they typically ventured only a few miles from where they were born. For most people, the only source of both religious and worldly information was the village Catholic priest in the pulpit. News passed from one person to another, often in the form of rumor. Written documents were rare and often doubted by the common people as forgeries. What counted in important matters was oral testimony based on oaths taken in the name of God to tell the truth. Almost no one could read or write the language they spoke. Those few who were literate usually went on to master Latin, the universal language of scholarship, the law, and the Roman Catholic Church. Books, all hand-copied, were rare, expensive, and almost always in Latin. They were so valuable that universities chained them to reading tables.

Parrots learn to mimic through repetition—so saying the word over and over again is the only way to encourage your bird to say it back.

Dr. Bowring and his colleagues have catalogued fossils from the rock layers to pinpoint the window in which species became extinct. To estimate the age of these fossils, the scientists gathered volcanic ash preserved in the rocks. The ash contains radioactive atoms that have been breaking down ever since it was released from a volcano. They can thus serve as geological clocks.

Warnings Often Deter Lawsuits Such lawyers' warnings, which often deter lawsuits, reflect how successful these newspapers have been at avoiding legal judgments. Even though newspapers like The National Enquirer, The Star and The Globe regularly leave famous people fuming about what those people consider to be lies, half-truths and innuendo, the tabloids face few lawsuits and almost never lose trials.

Capacitive touchscreens such as these rely on conductivity to detect touch commands. If you use a gloved finger or a stylus to control them, they won’t register or otherwise respond to your commands. Capacitive Touchscreens: What You Should Know Capacitive touchscreens live up to their namesake by measuring capacitance. In other words, they look for changes in a uniform electrical charge that’s applied to the top layer. When a capacitive touchscreen is turned on, an electrical charge will be applied to its top layer. Upon touching the top layer with a bare finger, your body will absorb some of the electrical charge. The capacitive touchscreen will then detect this change in capacitance as a touch command.

For Israeli officials, the toppling of Hosni Mubarak has led to the rise of Islamist forces hostile to Israel and an increasing security vacuum along its southern border, which casts doubt on the long-term durability of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The fall of Mubarak and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood is equally troublesome for Palestinian officials in Ramallah, as it eliminates their most powerful Arab ally and emboldens their Hamas rivals in Gaza (Hamas being an off-shoot of the Brotherhood). The election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi to be the first civilian president since the formation of the Egyptian republic sixty years ago has only intensified anxiety in Tel Aviv and Ramallah.

Google Fi is technically what's known as an MVNO, or mobile virtual network operator. That's a fancy name for an entity that provides wireless service — y'know, the thing that allows you to make and receive calls and use mobile data from that shiny rectangle in your pocket — without actually owning the network infrastructure behind it. In other words, it's kinda like a high-tech landlord. It doesn't have its own network like AT&T or Verizon; instead, it has an arrangement with those same sorts of carriers that allows it to tap into their networks and repackage access to those pipes under its own brand and arrangement.

A flush toilet (also known as a flushing toilet, water closet (WC) – see also toilet names) is a toilet that disposes of human waste (principally urine and feces) by using the force of water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location for treatment, either nearby or at a communal facility, thus maintaining a separation between humans and their waste. Flush toilets can be designed for sitting (in which case they are also called "Western" toilets) or for squatting, in the case of squat toilets. Most modern sewage treatment systems are also designed to process specially designed toilet paper. The opposite of a flush toilet is a dry toilet, which uses no water for flushing.

Have you ever watched a train roll by? If so, you might have wondered how the train is able to stay on its tracks. The secret lies in the train's wheels. Although they seem cylindrical at first glance, when looking more closely you will notice that they have a slightly semi-conical shape. (Of course, never get close to a working train!) This special geometry is what keeps trains on the tracks. In this activity you will put different wheel shapes to the test to find out why the conical wheel is superior to other designs.

Induction forging refers to the use of an induction heater to pre-heat metals prior to deformation using a press or hammer. Typically metals are heated to between 1,100 and 1,200 °C (2,010 and 2,190 °F) to increase their malleability and aid flow in the forging die.

A revelatory new study finds that yelling during sports could have greater benefits for performance than many of us might expect, even if it might cause spectators to look aghast and cover their ears. Grunting during physical activities that demand sudden short, sharp bursts of power, such as weight training, is common and probably has been used since our prehistoric ancestors hefted stones or heaved projectiles. Tennis players are particularly famous for grunting. Their shouts with each serve and stroke can be so loud that some players, including Martina Navratilova, have declared that the noise is a form of cheating, meant to confound the other player and not to increase the power of a stroke. But there has been limited past scientific scrutiny of the impacts of grunting. A 2014 study of college tennis players determined that grunting could indeed increase the power of players’ groundstrokes and serves.

Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease of many mammalian species but also bats, cats, foxes, raccoons, skunks, and people. It is spread chiefly by animal bites particularly from dogs. Unless treated, rabies is almost always fatal in people and most animals. Rabies vaccination is required legally for dogs and cats in all States in the USA. People who have a high risk of animal bites, such as veterinarians, receive prophylactic vaccination against rabies.

Turing swapped the original screen and controller with tiny replacements and added a keyboard. No "first-person shooter" jokes, please: A hardware wonk has successfully played Doom on a pregnancy test. By removing most of the interior of the test, including the original CPU, Foone Turing used its tiny one-color display first to stream video of the classic video game, and then actually play it. 🕹 You love badass DIY gadgets. So do we. Let's play with them together. Watch the glorious results here: Turing’s interest seems to have been sparked a few weeks ago when another Twitter user showed the guts of a pregnancy test, which is just the minimal hardware required to interpret a test strip—like a very low-power, unitasking automaton.

Speakers of alphabetic languages, such as English or Russian, can have a problem converting letters into sounds. Dyslexics in these languages have reduced activity in a brain region called the left temporoparietal cortex. But Chinese readers must learn the meanings of around 5,000 different characters, each corresponding to a word. Instead of letter-to-sound conversion problems, Chinese dyslexics have difficulties extrapolating from a symbol's shape to its sound and meaning. Throwing shapes Neuroscientist Li Hai Tan from the University of Hong Kong, China, and his colleagues speculated that dyslexia in Chinese readers might affect a different brain region. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor the brain activity of eight impaired and eight normal readers as they performed two language tests.

Sports betting appeals to the smart bettor because it is not a game with a fixed house edge where the casinos are raking off fixed percentage. Sports betting requires more skill than luck similar to live poker. You won’t win every time but the skilled handicapper has a huge advantage over the recreational bettor.

The First Sino-Japanese War (25 July 1894 – 17 April 1895) was a conflict between the Qing dynasty of China and the Empire of Japan primarily over influence in Joseon Korea.[4] After more than six months of unbroken successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the port of Weihaiwei, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895. The war demonstrated the failure of the Qing dynasty's attempts to modernize its military and fend off threats to its sovereignty, especially when compared with Japan's successful Meiji Restoration. For the first time, regional dominance in East Asia shifted from China to Japan;[5] the prestige of the Qing dynasty, along with the classical tradition in China, suffered a major blow.

Heisenbugs occur because common attempts to debug a program, such as inserting output statements or running it with a debugger, usually have the side-effect of altering the behavior of the program in subtle ways, such as changing the memory addresses of variables and the timing of its execution.

The study, which was published in Environmental Science & Technology, found that the thermal decomposition of propylene glycol and glycerin, two solvents found in most “e-liquids” (the substance that is vaporized by the e-cigarette), leads to emissions of toxic chemicals such as acrolein and formaldehyde. “Advocates of e-cigarettes say emissions are much lower than from conventional cigarettes, so you’re better off using e-cigarettes,” said Berkeley Lab researcher and the study’s corresponding author Hugo Destaillats. “I would say, that may be true for certain users—for example, long time smokers that cannot quit—but the problem is, it doesn’t mean that they’re healthy. Regular cigarettes are super unhealthy. E-cigarettes are just unhealthy.” In the paper, “Emissions from electronic cigarettes: Key parameters affecting the release of harmful chemicals,” Destaillats and a team of researchers simulated vaping using three types of e-liquids in two different vaporizers operated at various battery power settings.

Ounce for ounce, spider silk is five times stronger than steel and about three times tougher than man-made fibers such as Kevlar. And that makes the material ideal for all sorts of interesting uses — from better, lighter bulletproof vests to safer suspension bridges. But "harvesting" spider silk hasn't been easy. Unlike silkworms, spiders aren't easy to domesticate. "Spiders are territorial carnivores, they eat each other if placed in contact or in close proximity," says Jeffrey Turner, president and CEO of Nexia Biotechnoloies, Inc. "It's like trying to farm tigers." Spider-less Silk Now, researchers at the Quebec-based Nexia along with scientists at the U.S. Army's Soldier Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM) in Natick, Mass., say they may have figured a way out of the sticky situation. In the latest issue of Science, the researchers report that they've managed to successfully create artificial spider silk that's nearly as good as the real thing — and without involving a single spider.

Since we cannot directly observe anything outside of three-dimensional space, proving the existence of the 4th dimension (4D) is problematic. In order to better understand how the dimension works and what it means to live in the third, fourth, or fifth dimension, we need to treat the dimension as a point of perception rather than an actual travel location.

For decades, the polymath futurist Jacque Fresco has been doing just that — check out this interview of him by Larry King way back in 1974. Reasoning that money (and, by association, politics and power) is the supreme corrupting influence, Fresco has set about designing a blueprint for a society free of money.

Nutrients Although you may have heard that microwaves kill nutrition, that doesn’t seem to be true. Microwave ovens usually don’t destroy nutrients in food. And in some cases, preparing food in a microwave might actually promote nutrient retention. Nutrients are leached from food during any form of cooking, especially when the food is cooked for a long period of time with high amounts of water. So, for example, boiling carrots might strip nutrients much more drastically than microwaving them, because the carrots’ nutrients might get washed away with the boiling water. However, since we haven’t discovered all the compounds that make up food, we’ll likely never know all of the outcomes that microwaving has on nutrients.

While several countries have made claims to parts of Antarctica in the first half of the 20th century, the remainder, including most of Marie Byrd Land (the portion east from 150°W to 90°W), has not been claimed by any sovereign state. Signatories to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 agreed not to make such claims, except the Soviet Union and the United States, who reserved the right to make a claim.

If you are asking about command line programs running in a Linux terminal, on a low level, the job running in the foreground will be stopped as Ctrl-Z is the suspend character . Which, according to Wikipedia: “It sends the terminal stop signal (SIGTSTP) to the process group.

Sovereign citizens believe that they – not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials – should decide which laws to obey and which to ignore. Most sovereign citizens also don’t believe they should have to pay taxes. They clog up the courts with indecipherable filings and, when cornered, many of them lash out, retaliating through acts of paper terrorism and, in the most extreme cases, acts of deadly violence – usually directed against government officials. In May 2010, for example, a father-son team of sovereigns murdered two police officers with an assault rifle when they were pulled over on the interstate while traveling through West Memphis, Arkansas. The roots of the movement are racist and antisemitic.

The spleen is a fist-sized organ in the upper left side of your abdomen, next to your stomach and behind your left ribs. It's an important part of your immune system, but you can survive without it. This is because the liver can take over many of the spleen's functions.

String theories require extra dimensions of spacetime for their mathematical consistency. In bosonic string theory, spacetime is 26-dimensional, while in superstring theory it is 10-dimensional, and in M-theory it is 11-dimensional. In order to describe real physical phenomena using string theory, one must therefore imagine scenarios in which these extra dimensions would not be observed in experiments.

Understanding Austrian School The Austrian school is set apart by its belief that the workings of the broad economy are the sum of smaller individual decisions and actions; unlike the Chicago school and other theories that look to surmise the future from historical abstracts, often using broad statistical aggregates. Economists who follow and develop the ideas of the Austrian school today hail from around the world, and there is no particular attachment of these ideas to the country of Austria beyond the historical origin of their creators.

Why is your TV fixing what ain't broke? This annoying little phenomenon is commonly referred to as the "soap opera effect," and it's a byproduct of your TV's motion-enhancing features. Thankfully, the effect can be turned off, and that's probably a good idea when you're watching movies. While these smoothing features can make a few things look better---scrolling tickers, sports, and HDTV test discs, for example---our eyes and brains expect something very different when we’re watching movies.

Going to a petrol station, typically you can pick between ‘unleaded’, which is the standard petrol choice, or an alternative which will be called something like ‘premium unleaded’ or ‘super unleaded’. The latter can cost up to 10p more per litre than the standard unleaded petrol. Different fuel providers will have their own brand name for premium unleaded alternatives. But what is the difference between unleaded and these alternative, premium unleaded fuels? When is the best time to buy the latter? What is Super Unleaded? The main difference between regular unleaded petrol and premium-branded unleaded is that the latter will have an increased octane rating, also known as research octane number (RON). Creating petrol with a higher octane rating is a costlier process, hence the increased price. The benefits of using a fuel with a higher octane rating includes improved engine performance and lower consumption.

Do not overlook the importance of your mixing engineer. Great mixing engineers can take a pile of shit and turn it into Top 40 gold. You know the saying "You can't polish a turd?" Well great mixing engineers actually can. I've used the same mixing engineer for my last three records. I think he's the best in the world (and happens to be a great friend - and quite reasonable. Paul Marino - hit him up!). The difference between what the recording sounds like before he mixes and after is astounding! In my opinion, getting the right mixing engineer is almost more important than the producer, engineer and studio.

The Oath of Allegiance (Judicial or Official Oath) is a promise to be loyal to the British monarch, and his or her heirs and successors, sworn by certain public servants in the United Kingdom, and also by newly naturalised subjects in citizenship ceremonies. The current standard wording of the oath of allegiance is set out in the Promissory Oaths Act 1868. Variants of the basic oath of allegiance are also incorporated into a number of other oaths taken by certain individuals. Text[edit] The current standard oath of allegiance is set out from the Promissory Oaths Act 1868 in the following form: I, (Insert full name), do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God. Under the Oaths Act 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c.46), consolidated and repealed by the Oaths Act 1978, those who choose to may make a solemn affirmation instead of swearing an oath.

Artificial Flavor: Artificial or synthetic flavorings are created from chemical sources rather than natural sources.

There are a number of financial assistance program options that a navigator can explore with his patient. This includes manufacturer-direct programs and programs that aid the underinsured or uninsured patient. Financial assistance programs are evolving and oncology practices place increasing value on them.

Common examples: * An enemy will continue to take damage from a weapon while the game is paused. * An enemy's Mercy Invincibility timer, or a player weapon/ability's Cooldown timer will keep running during the pause, allowing the player to attack again before the enemy acts. * Pausing stops the clock, and the player can perform actions before the clock starts up again after unpausing, even though the game is not supposed to have Real-Time with Pause.

What Is Bayes' Theorem? Bayes' theorem, named after 18th-century British mathematician Thomas Bayes, is a mathematical formula for determining conditional probability. Conditional probability is the likelihood of an outcome occurring, based on a previous outcome occurring. Bayes' theorem provides a way to revise existing predictions or theories (update probabilities) given new or additional evidence. In finance, Bayes' theorem can be used to rate the risk of lending money to potential borrowers. Bayes' theorem is also called Bayes' Rule or Bayes' Law and is the foundation of the field of Bayesian statistics.

A heart attack occurs when a blockage impedes the circulation of blood to the heart. If the blockage is not removed, heart tissue begins to die from lack of oxygen. Heart attacks can vary in severity from mild to massive. A mild heart attack often doesn’t cause much permanent heart damage or only affects a relatively small portion of the heart muscle. It could be the result of a blockage that occurs in a small coronary artery, or the blockage does not completely block blood flow to the heart or it only lasts a brief time.

A pattern language is an organized and coherent set of patterns, each of which describes a problem and the core of a solution that can be used in many ways within a specific field of expertise. The term was coined by architect Christopher Alexander and popularized by his 1977 book A Pattern Language.

An afterimage is an image that continues to appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image. An afterimage may be a normal phenomenon (physiological afterimage) or may be pathological (palinopsia). Illusory palinopsia may be a pathological exaggeration of physiological afterimages.

Many Americans are still recovering from the 2008 financial crisis. Almost everyone knows someone who lost a job, their retirement savings or even a home in its aftermath. While the effects of the Great Recession were felt throughout the economy, its main cause can be traced back to subprime lending in the mortgage industry. In the early to mid-2000s, lenders introduced risky products such as zero-down home loans and payment-option adjustable-rate mortgages, which enabled borrowers to take on more debt than they could afford. Lax lending practices led to increased demand and skyrocketing home prices. When the housing bubble burst and sent home prices plummeting, it set off a chain of defaults that snowballed into a recession. This cautionary tale of risky lending, ballooning debt and market speculation should be a clear warning of looming perils in the student loan industry.

More than 4,200 people were rescued, though 32 people died. Several of the ship’s crew, notably Capt. Francesco Schettino, were charged with various crimes. Construction and maiden voyage The Costa Concordia was owned by Costa Crociere, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation & PLC. When launched in 2005, it was Italy’s largest cruise ship, measuring 951 feet (290 metres) long with a passenger capacity of 3,780; by comparison, the Titanic was 882.5 feet (269 metres) long and could accommodate up to 2,435 passengers. The Concordia was known for its luxuries. It featured four swimming pools, a casino, and reportedly the largest spa on a ship. In July 2006 the vessel undertook its maiden voyage, a seven-day cruise of the Mediterranean Sea, with stops in Italy, France, and Spain.

In a silence where some people could hear a pin drop, people with tinnitus hear a constant ringing in their ears. Or the sound may be a popping, rushing, pinging, chirping, whistling, or roaring. Some people describe it as a freight train constantly rolling through their brains.

Swiss watches cover the entire price range, from entry level models to high-end luxury timepieces. Some have a price tag which can seem high, but which is justified for a number of reasons.

Hazlewood died of complications of renal cancer, his wife, Jeane Kelley, said. The disease was diagnosed two years ago, and Hazlewood subsequently recorded his final album, titled after a routine by English comedian Eddie Izzard: “Cake or Death.” The Oklahoma native did notable work early and late in his career, but it was his music with Sinatra in the mid- and late 1960s that secured his legacy. He teamed up with her on nine Top 40 singles, headed by “Boots,” which has assumed a life of its own as a multipurpose anthem of female empowerment and/or kinky domination fantasy.

If you don’t respond to your lender and are taken out of forbearance, but fail to make payments, it will likely have a strong negative impact on your credit. So, keep the lines of communication open.

A bank run or run on the bank occurs when many clients withdraw their money from a bank, because they believe the bank may cease to function in the near future. In other words, it is when, in a fractional-reserve banking system (where banks normally only keep a small proportion of their assets as cash), numerous customers withdraw cash from deposit accounts with a financial institution at the same time because they believe that the financial institution is, or might become, insolvent; they keep the cash or transfer it into other assets, such as government bonds, precious metals or gemstones. When they transfer funds to another institution, it may be characterized as a capital flight. As a bank run progresses, it generates its own momentum: as more people withdraw cash, the likelihood of default increases, triggering further withdrawals.

Exact figures are uncertain, but calculations suggest Jupiter would need to be 80 times as massive as it is to turn into a small red dwarf star.

What Is Uninstall? You install a software to use it through your PC. When you feel the unnecessity of that software, you want to remove it from your PC. Unlike deleting a file like music, picture, video, you cannot delete an installed software by just deleting them from the PC like a general file. The process of removing software from the PC is known as uninstalling. When you uninstall a software from your PC, you will no longer be able to use it on your PC. But how to fully uninstall a program? Get along weith us.

The year following the iPhone’s release the first draft of HTML5 was published in January 2008. Then, following years of development, the final version of HTML5 was released in October 2014, giving us the web experience that we know today.

In many languages, the names given to the seven days of the week are derived from the names of the classical planets in Hellenistic astronomy, which were in turn named after contemporary deities, a system introduced by the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity[citation needed]. In some other languages, the days are named after corresponding deities of the regional culture, beginning either with Sunday or with Monday. The seven-day week was adopted in early Christianity from the Hebrew calendar, and gradually replaced the Roman nundinal cycle as the new religion spread.[citation needed] Sunday remained the first day of the week, being considered the Lord's Day, while the Jewish sabbath remained the seventh. Emperor Constantine adopted the seven-day week for official use in CE 321, making the Day of the Sun (dies Solis) a legal holiday.

Cats will lick their fur to remove odors and dirt. Much of this behavior is instinctual, since they need to remove odors that make them vulnerable to prey. Cats can also lick things other than their fur. For example, some cats may lick you or even obsess over licking plastic. If a cat licks so much that they lose their fur, this is a problem. Below, we will offer some possible reasons for why a cat would lick their fur off.

Lying in bed unable to fall asleep is often called conditioned or learned arousal, says sleep-medicine specialist Philip Gehrman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s one of the most common sleep problems, and experts think it happens because something in your sleep environment has told your brain that getting in bed should “arouse” you or wake you up, instead of put you to sleep. “If someone is a good sleeper, then each night they probably get in bed and fall asleep. So when they get into bed it triggers this auto response of sleepiness,” Gehrman says.

When a video plays in lower than expected quality, it’s likely because the viewer’s Internet speed (bandwidth) or computer processing speed cannot support higher quality playback. Viewers can manually force a particular quality by selecting the gear icon in the lower right corner of the player. (This may result in frequent buffering if the bandwidth does not meet the required minimum outlined above.

Why are some people naturally good at singing? No matter how much practice you have or how good your vocal coach is, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to win Eurovision. The fact is some people are just born with a naturally great singing voice. The shape and size of their vocal folds plays a part in this, but so does the measurements of their mouth, throat and nasal cavities. These are the body’s natural resonators, meaning they can help enhance the tone and intensity of the voice.

A screw steamer or screw steamship is an old term for a steamship or steamboat powered by a steam engine, using one or more propellers (also known as screws) to propel it through the water. Such a ship was also known as an "iron screw steam ship". In the 19th century, this designation was normally used in contradistinction to the paddle steamer, a still earlier form of steamship that was largely, but not entirely, superseded by the screw steamer.[1] Many famous ships were screw steamers, including the RMS Titanic and RMS Lusitania. These massive leviathans had three or four propellers.

A correspondent asks whether there is any demand for Latin among secondary students (Letters, 8 August). Indeed there is. Over the past 10 years, the charity I co-founded, Classics for All, has supported the reintroduction of Latin, Greek and classical civilisation to 1,000 state primary and secondary schools. At primary school, pupils have loved learning Latin, coming to it with no preconceptions about elitism or difficulty. They move on to secondary school expecting Latin to continue. The first cohort of students is now studying classics at university. Demand built, and it is being met. Far from being a dead language, Latin today is a living subject that broadens cultural understanding and educational horizons, and, perhaps most importantly, is truly enjoyed by thousands of pupils across the UK.

What is Japanese Design? When people think of Japanese design, they envision minimal, uncluttered spaces with a few select designs scattered throughout. Sliding doors, natural materials and low lying furniture are all synonymous with the country’s interior design.

Silicon Valley offers easy access to the free flow of vital information and is a one-stop destination for hosting regular seminars, product fairs, and workshops about technical developments, path-breaking advancements, and next-generation technologies. Regularly attending such sessions for vital information becomes much easier when one has to walk to a nearby convention center, as opposed to traveling from a far-off destination spending money and time in flight.

Christian leaders have written about homosexual male–male sexual activities since the first decades of Christianity; female–female sexual behaviour was almost entirely ignored.[1] Throughout the majority of Christian history, most Christian theologians and denominations have considered homosexual behavior as immoral or sinful.[2][3][4][5] However, since the second half of 20th century(and the 1970s) some prominent Christian theologians and religious groups have espoused a wide variety of beliefs and practices towards homosexuals, including the establishment of various "open and accepting" Christian churches and denominations that actively support LGBT members, which they consider biblical in light of other rebukes in the New Testament that Christians might gloss over, such as wealth,[6] or covering their heads while praying,[7] and Protestant churches' lack of support for adults who do not want to marry, such as building monasteries,[8] even though New Testament verses speak of the virtues of remaining single,[9] such as the example of 144,000 males who are not to be "defiled"[10] with females before being redeemed in the Apocalypse.

Amazon’s key UK business paid just 3% more tax last year when profits rose by more than a third as the online retailer benefited from the switch to home shopping. The group’s warehouse and logistics operation, which employs more than two-thirds of its 30,000-plus UK workforce, Amazon UK Services, said its corporation tax contribution was £14.46m in 2019, up from £14.03m the year before. Pretax profits at the division soared 35% to nearly £102m as revenues rose by 29% to nearly £3bn, according to accounts about to be published by Companies House. Amazon said its tax bill had been offset by government incentives related to its investment in infrastructure as it caters to soaring demand for home shopping and IT services in the UK.

Stress affects people differently, and the things that cause stress vary from person to person. The level of stress you are comfortable with may be higher or lower than that of other people around you. Stressful feelings typically happen when we feel we do not have the resources to manage the challenges we face.

Intentionally blank pages placed at the end of books are often used to balance the folios that make up the book (see bookbinding). Often these pages are completely blank with no such statement or are used as "Notes" pages, serving a practical purpose.

Research shows that during ejaculation, men release a cocktail of brain chemicals, including norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide, and the hormone prolactin. Prolactin represses dopamine, a key chemical in desire and motivation, and is linked both with sleepiness and feelings of sexual satisfaction. It’s thus a de-arouser of sorts, and temporarily decreases men’s desire for sex. Studies have shown that men deficient in prolactin have faster recovery times. Interestingly, studies have also shown that orgasms enjoyed through partnered sex release four times more prolactin than orgasms from masturbation, which means that men are less likely to feel sleepy and calm after masturbating.

Put simply, hypnic jerks are caused when one part of the brain tries to go to sleep more quickly than other parts of the brain. “The complexity of going to sleep and waking up is incredible, and sometimes—particularly when we are sleep deprived—our brain doesn’t shut down normally, which means we get this sort of jerking movement when we’re in a light sleep,” says Wilson.

Dear Therapist, My husband and I have two adult children: a 39-year-old son who is married with three children and lives 15 minutes away, and a 33-year-old daughter who is single and lives out of state. My daughter-in-law’s parents live three hours away. Even though he lives close by, my son hardly calls or comes over. He tells us he’s busy working and being a father and husband. We do hear from him when he needs something, like someone to watch the grandkids.

Wrong-way driving (WWD), also known as counterflow driving, is the act of driving a motor vehicle against the direction of traffic. It can occur on either one- or two-way roads, as well as in parking lots and parking garages, and may be due to driver inattention or impairment, or because of insufficient or confusing road markings or signage,[1] or a driver from a right-hand traffic country being unaccustomed to driving in a left-hand traffic country (see Left- and right-hand traffic), and vice versa.

Strawberry Fact 1. Strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside. The average berry is adorned with some 200 of them. No wonder it only takes one bite to get seeds stuck in your teeth. Strawberry Fact 2. Strawberries aren’t true berries, like blueberries or even grapes. Technically, a berry has its seeds on the inside. And, to be über technical, each seed on a strawberry is considered by botanists to be its own separate fruit. Whoa, meta! Strawberry Fact 3. Strawberries are members of the rose family. Should you come upon a bush of them growing, you’ll see: they smells sweet as they taste.

No United Kingdom national football team exists, as there are separate teams representing each of the nations of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) in international football. These national teams compete in the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championships and other internationals.

The Gregorian Calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. It is the calendar used in the international standard for Representation of dates and times: ISO 8601:2004.

While adrenaline contracts most of the gut wall to slow digestion, it relaxes a specific gut muscle called the “external anal sphincter”, which is why some people report a pressing need to visit a bathroom when they’re nervous. This reduction in blood flow through the gut in turn produces the oddly characteristic “butterflies” feeling in the pit of your stomach. It senses this shortage of blood, and oxygen, so the stomach’s own sensory nerves are letting us know it’s not happy with the situation.

Answer The outermost layer of the skin swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin underneath, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling.

In the history of the West over the last 2000 years, there has never been a time when someone hasn’t been predicting the end of the world. And now, with a seemingly insoluble climate crisis, pandemic surges, savage wildfires and hurricanes, and a renewed nuclear arms race, seems no time to stop. Many of us feel, as poet John Donne put it in The Anatomy of the World in 1611, “Tis all in pieces, all coherence gone”. The Christian tradition tells us to be on the lookout for the Antichrist, who will appear shortly before the big finish.

So it turns out, there's a very sweet and inspirational meaning behind Caillou being bald... and it doesn't have to do with cancer or any other sickness. "Caillou was initially created as a baby of nine months. When it was time for him to get older, the addition of hair made him unrecognizable. So we decided that Caillou would never have any hair, and he went on to become popular as a little boy who is bald," the show's website says.

Rings have been exchanged as a symbol of the bond of marriage for so long, and in so many different cultures, that the origin of the practice is obscure. Certainly, the circle of a ring represents undying love and the continually renewed vows of the married couple. Circles have long been archetypes for not only timelessness but also wholeness and homecoming. The circle also speaks to the constant round of the heavens, as well as the eternal return of the seasons, marked by cyclical ritual and celebration.

If the clothes are missing, usually that means that [the passenger] was probably either ejected from the plane or exposed to extreme wind blast going hundreds of miles an hour, falling out of the sky,” said Diehl, who has worked as an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the United States Air Force. “The effect of very high speed wind, or the slipstream, hitting the bodies can easily literally rip the clothing right off.

By progressively challenging your balance, you can see improvement in your stability. Need a Modification? If you feel you are not yet ready for this exercise, talk to your physical therapist about other ways to work on your balance. Up for a Challenge? As the single leg stance exercise becomes easier, you may be able to progress to more advanced balance exercises, but check in with your PT before trying anything too challenging.

Anti-vaccine advocates have swayed parents in New York to refuse immunizations for their kids, sparking two of the largest measles outbreaks in the state’s recent history, according to local health officials. As of April 10, at least 285 people in New York City — mainly in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg and Borough Park neighborhoods — had fallen ill. In nearby Rockland County, 168 people have caught the virus. The outbreaks have prompted health officials in both areas to declare states of emergency. In the city, officials ordered mandatory immunizations among unvaccinated people on Tuesday, threatening those who opt out with fines. Nearby Rockland took the unusual step of barring anyone under the age of 18 who hadn’t been vaccinated for measles from public places for 30 days in March.

You struggle constantly trying to figure out how to make chewy cookies, and it seems no matter what you do, the textures always wind up wildly different, and you are at a loss as to why. What this all boils down to, dear reader, is cookie chemistry. Cookie chemistry can be summed up by determining what your interactions are (or will be) with flour, salt, and granulated sugar, as well as your planned baking times and temperatures. Sometimes you can use the exact same recipe, yet vary the cooking technique or the preparation technique (such as using finely processed nuts and chocolate instead of chunky nuts and chocolate), and your cookies will not turn out the same.

The potato is such a universal food that it can be found in almost all cuisines. It is a part of daily staple in many regions. The westerners have a particular liking for the potato chips, known in various names like French fries, crisps etc. The vegetable is usually round and brown. However, very rarely, you may come across a green spud; either in those you brought from the market or in that packet of chips you bought for the midday snack. Some people don’t really mind but others immediately frown and subject it to intense scrutiny before deciding to eat it or throw it out. Many think that the greenish tint is poisonous, and there a fair bit of truth in it. The greenish tint on the spud is actually chlorophyll, the pigment that gives green color to all the plants in the world. While chlorophyll itself is not harmful, it is the presence of a glycoalkoid named solanine that poses danger to us.

A: Most likely due to the sanitary vent acting like a “road draft tube” and applying a bit of a suction effect on the water pulling some over the lip of the p-trap. Wind pulses the pressure seen by the toilet through its vent stack, causing water level in the bowl to rise and fall. At every rise, it overflows the trap. You probably have no function in your toilet tank to replenish what overflows, and the level goes down.

Firstly, a cylindrical container doesn’t have ‘weak spots’ that need reinforcing, which would translate to using more material to build the tanker. In contrast, a rectangle/square has corners and flat sides, which create weak points for pressure. In other words, a rectangle-shaped container would fail faster than a cylindrical one upon experiencing a great deal of pressure. That’s the same reason why windows in commercial airplanes have rounded corners, rather than being perfectly rectangular/square-shaped.

White meat is made up of muscles with fibers that are called fast-twitch. Fast-twitch muscles are used for quick bursts of activity, such as fleeing from danger. These muscles get energy from glycogen, which is also stored in the muscles. White meat has a translucent "glassy" quality when it is raw. When it's cooked, the proteins denature and recombine, or coagulate, and the meat becomes opaque and whitish. Cows and pigs are both sources of dark meat, though pig is often called "the other white meat." Pigs' muscles do contain myoglobin, but the concentration is not as heavy as it is in beef.

For many years, push-fit lead around 1.18mm in width was most common, with a twist mechanism that wound the lead down like a screw as it was used, and pencils were often decorated with ornate designs in sterling silver. The need to write intricate characters meant Japan had a greater incentive to make thinner leads, which lead to the birth of the modern mechanical pencil there.

But fabricated stories posing as serious journalism are not likely to go away as they have become a means for some writers to make money and potentially influence public opinion. Even as Americans recognize that fake news causes confusion about current issues and events, they continue to circulate it.

In English, the nominative form of the singular first-person pronoun, "I", is normally capitalized, along with all its contractions (I'll, I'm, etc.). So, it would be: 2) Now I want to leave for home. as well as: I'm leaving for home. N.B. Only "i" when used as a pronoun is capitalized.

Some critics have described the film's portrayal of African Americans as racist and offensive, maintaining that the black vernacular and other qualities are stereotypes. In addition, the plantation setting is sometimes criticized as idyllic and glorified. Because of this controversy, Disney has not released Song of the South on any home video format in the United States, nor is it available on its streaming platform Disney+. Some of the musical and animated sequences have been released through other means, and the full film has seen home video distribution in other countries.

The 13+ limit is due to US privacy laws, not age appropriateness. It’s got nothing to do with UK law – although recently the EU passed legal changes which could see Europe’s minimum age rise to 16, unless member states opt out. Still, many parents don’t want their children to have underage accounts. And even if your child is over 13, you may have decided they’re not quite ready for social media.

If you rotate the figure 6 so it is upside down, you get a 9, and vice versa. This trope is about those cases where confusion between these two numbers becomes a plot point.

It's estimated that every day in the U.S. 20 patients die because of the lack of donor organs. It can be hard to think about what's going to happen to your body after you die, let alone donating your organs and tissue. But being an organ donor is a generous and worthwhile decision that can be a lifesaver. If you've never considered organ donation or delayed becoming a donor because of possibly inaccurate information, here are answers to some common organ donation myths and concerns.

Why is it so hard for third party strivers to get a podium in a presidential debate? “The American electoral process is really rigged against third party candidates, despite the fact that the Constitution says absolutely nothing about political parties,” says Tobe Berkovitz, a College of Communication associate professor of advertising. “It is incredibly difficult for third parties to get organized, and once they are, to manage to get on the ballot.” And if they do get their names on the ballot, says Bruce Schulman, a College of Arts & Sciences professor and chair of the history department, they still have a long way to go.

The Cowboys have been touted as “America’s Team” since the late 1970’s, with success being the most palpable culprit for why the moniker’s stuck around all these years. And, evidenced by the NFLPA’s merchandise sales numbers for this season, it’s as much a concept as it is a nickname. The success of rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott has undoubtedly helped, but Dallas apparel is outselling others by a large margin.

Mussels are a shellfish that contain omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B-12. You can eat mussels raw, steamed, boiled or fried as an appetizer or entrée. No matter how you prepare them, you should always start with fresh mussels. Mussels that do not open during cooking or that have chips or cracks on the shell may be dead. The meat of dead mussels deteriorates, increasing your risk of microorganism contamination, food poisoning, infectious disease and other health problems.

‘Do you have guns in the home?” It’s a standard question pediatricians ask patients and their parents, an entry into a conversation about storage and safety.

The particulate forms are: PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter, heavy metals with toxic effect (Pb, Ni, Cd, As), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs, etc. Atmospheric pollutants have a negative effect on the plants; they can have direct toxic effects, or indirectly by changing soil pH followed by solubilization of toxic salts of metals like aluminum. The particulate matters have a negative mechanical effect. They cover the leaf blade reducing light penetration and blocking the opening of stomata. These impediments influence strongly the process of photosynthesis which rate declines sharply.

Projectors do not display the color black since a projector transmits a beam of light onto a wall or a projection screen to produce an image, the areas of the image that appear black are actually a very faint gray. How does a projector project black on a screen? The black of a projected image is caused by the darkness of the room as well as the way the eye and brain interpret contrast. The screen is white or has a light-reflective surface. When you turn off the lights, any area of the projected image will be completely black. The image’s dark areas are merely areas where no light is projected.

Essentially, lithium and alkaline batteries are made of different materials and have a different construction, which affects their performance in various uses. Alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, commonly known as alkaline batteries, are good all-around batteries for everyday electronic devices and last longer than some other types. However, lithium iron disulfide batteries, or lithium batteries, have several distinct advantages over their alkaline counterparts: - They're designed to last longer, making them a good choice for high-tech and smart devices, and those electronics for which changing the battery is inconvenient. - They can withstand extreme low temperatures. Lithium can operate without failing in a very cold climate, so it's ideal for outdoor applications. - Lithium batteries are lighter than alkaline batteries, so they offer an advantage when used with portable devices, especially cordless power tools.

Google will check the clicking position on the checkbox. Bots click exactly on the center of the checkbox while humans click somewhere on the box. This will help to decide Google whether the user is a human or bot.

There are many different variables that factor into this seemingly simple question. Theoretically, humans could run up to 40mph, but in practice, even with the most advanced and advantageous technology available, humans currently top out at roughly 28mph.

A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer. The term is sometimes used to refer to doline, enclosed depressions that are locally also known as vrtače and shakeholes, and to openings where surface water enters into underground passages known as ponor, swallow hole or swallet.[1][2][3][4] A cenote is a type of sinkhole that exposes groundwater underneath.

How to use a Bitcoin ATM Below are the typical steps for exchanging your fiat currency for Bitcoin using a Bitcoin ATM. In short, here’s how to buy Bitcoin from a Bitcoin ATM: Step 1: Insert your phone number Bitcoin ATMs require identity verification. You are usually asked for your mobile number to get a verification code before proceeding with your transaction. Whereas Bitcoin ATMs used to be big on anonymity, nowadays, they need to be compliant with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. According to the law, all BTMs must have some type of identity verification, such as scanning a government-issued ID or providing a phone number.

As the torch was extinguished on the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, it symbolized the end of Game Creek Video’s time in PyeongChang. We packed our bags, gathered up our collections of pins, and knew we had made memories to last a lifetime. Robert Kupillas, Engineer and Daniel Parkinson, Engineer Learn more about: Justice, Larkspur, Patriot 2017 World Series – Los Angeles, California “From the first day of MLB Post Season to the last day of the World Series, Game Creek Video had all the bases covered.” — Gavin S. Hornak Just north of downtown Los Angeles on top of a hill lies Dodger Stadium. At this venue, the 2017 World Series took place with the LA Dodgers and the Houston Astros. As the world came to find out, these two teams were an incredibly even match for each other that created for quite the exciting series.

The reason your gloves prevent you from using your touchscreen is that they block the electric charge transmitted via the moisture in your fingertips, explains Jacob Wobbrock, a professor at the University of Washington's Information School. The capacitive touchscreen -- the lingo for this charge-sensitive feature -- needs that moisture so it can detect exactly where your finger is on the screen. But when you have gloves on, Wobbrock told The Huffington Post, you can trick your phone into thinking it's being touched by fingertips. All you need is a bit of moisture and some contact.

Speaking becomes a habit and eventually instinctive, like scratching where you're itchy. James Prior, Sylvania Waters Some forms of amnesia, such as that from stroke, do cause aphasia, the inability to speak or make sense talking (some politicians may have it permanently). It all depends on the destruction or disruption of the neural connections to the various brain centres. Psychological as opposed to physiological amnesia is another matter altogether.

When you wake up, it takes some time to get the electrolytes flowing through the muscles in your hands again. That’s why you may not be able to make a fist right after waking up. This effect is more pronounced if you don’t wake up naturally. Balling up your palm and making a fist is easy enough, isn’t it? But try doing that right after you wake up from deep sleep. It’s a simple enough task, yet it is tough to complete immediately after pulling out of slumber. Why is that? As it turns out, there are a few reasons behind this strange bodily phenomenon. Note: This is not a universal thing. Not everyone experiences difficulty clenching their palms into a fist right after waking up.

By Shane Wax Early this year, VICE published an article about the MTA sending a take-down notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act over an NYC subway map designed by Jake Berman, a private citizen, and an amateur mapmaker, being sold by him on Etsy.com.[1] The story raises a couple of uncommon questions in copyright law that merit discussion – government ownership of copyrights and the extent that maps are afforded protection under US copyright law.
