President Obamaâs 2015 Executive Actions on Gun Control
1 Provides additional tools to law enforcement. 2  The plan proposes a crackdown on gun trafficking by asking Congress to pass legislation that closes âloopholesâ in gun trafficking laws and establishes strict penalties for âstraw purchasersâ who pass a background check and then pass guns on to prohibited people.


President Obamaâs 2015 Executive Actions on Gun Control
President Obama has unveiled a plan to address gun violence in the nation. The initiative consists of 23 executive actions and three presidential memoranda, most of which will require congressional approval. Many parts of the plan may have significant effects on states.


Obama's 50 Lies
In more than 50 votes, he seemed to be acting in concert with other Democrats as part of a strategy. In other cases, Mr. Obama's present votes stood out among widespread support as he tried to use them to register legal and other objections to parts of the bills.


President Obamaâs 2015 Executive Actions on Gun Control
1 Maximizes efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime. 2  The president calls upon the attorney general to work with U.S. attorneys across the country to determine gaps occurring in this area and where supplemental resources are appropriate.


President Obamaâs 2015 Executive Actions on Gun Control
1 Requires background checks for all gun sales and strengthens the background check system. 2  This would include removing barriers under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act so that states may more freely share information about mental health issues involving potential gun purchasers.


U.S. issues worldwide travel alert amid terrorism fears
A suspected al-Qaeda threat prompted the United States to issue a rare worldwide travel alert Friday, just a day after it announced that it would shutter 21 U.S. embassies and consulates across the Muslim world this weekend.


U.S. issues worldwide travel alert amid terrorism fears
Hoffman suggested that U.S. officials may have been particularly quick to issue warnings in light of the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, last September. The attack killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. U.S. embassies and consulates in 21 countries in the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa will be closed for the weekend in response to the threat.


U.S. issues worldwide travel alert amid terrorism fears
The last time the United States issued a worldwide alert was October 2011, although it has issued other, less-urgent worldwide travel guidance more recently.

Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
Whether it be electric, acoustic, sampled, or synthesizer-generated, bass information can take up a lot of energy in a mix. Yet somehow, it can also get lost as other instruments-especially guitar and keyboards-compete for sonic territory.


-
It can be helpful to know which frequencies correspond to which notes under your fingers. This display can help you relate to devices, such as tone controls and equalizers, when amplifying your bass. However, it's extremely important to note that the character of the note does not come only from the fundamental (root) note that you're playing.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
If you've determined you want to sit your bass above the kick at around 120 Hz, and it needs to cut through a bit more, try boosting that frequency with a tight bandwidth (or Q), meaning it will narrowly boost the frequencies around 120Hz, but do very little to anything very far above or below that point.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
This is called a bass resonance plug-in and it only has a few knobs and buttons. All you need to do is choose the center of the frequency (40Hz/100Hz or 200 Hz), sweep the frequency knob and push up the amplitude knob. All frequencies below the targeted area are rolled off smoothly.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
When boosting with EQ, be wary of the overall volume of the bass in the mix, and the amount of energy the low end is taking up. Sometimes it helps to push the low mids of a bass into, say, the 300Hz range. That can drive it above the kicks and help sit it in just right.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
So before reaching for the bass fader, think about which frequencies compete with the bass. The kick drum from a drum kit or loop comes to mind first. The bass and kick need to work together in that 50-120Hz range.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
Cut the Competition. One of the first things I do when mixing the bottom of a track is cut frequencies of instruments in that range that don't need to be there. For example, electric guitar parts can often have a lot of information below 120Hz that you may not need to hear.


-
There's highs in that note, and those who turn the bass frequencies up and the highs down are doing a disservice to their sound! It's often the midrange that helps to define the sound of the upright bass; without it you may as well be playing a bass guitar. You will also find that the higher frequency components (overtones) in the note, as well as the string attack, helps you cut through the mix.


Tips and Tricks for a Proper Bass Mix
Compressors can tame peaks in the bass, allowing you to boost overall level. Make Space for Bass Aside from EQ, another trick is to experiment with the panning of the other instruments.

HIV rash
A rash can also develop after use of some HIV medications. The three main classes of anti-HIV drugs used in the disease's treatment can also cause skin rashes. NNRTIs such as nevirapine (Viramune) are the most common cause of medication skin rashes. Whether caused by an HIV medication or by the disease itself, an HIV rash typically occurs on the chest, back, arms, legs, and face (although it can show up on any part of your body). The rash is usually not found on the mucous membranes (mouth, nostrils, eyes, genitals), palms of the hands, or in between the fingers.


The HIV Rash
What To Do If You Notice A HIV Rash. If you do notice this kind of rash and it's associated with any other acute symptoms of HIV, you should get HIV tested immediately. You can order an HIV test kit online from one of our doctors, and find out your status within two days.


HIV rash
Many people who have HIV experience skin rash or other skin symptoms at some stage of the disease. It can be the first symptom people with a new HIV infection have when the disease becomes more advanced. This rash can be very distressing for patients because it can be quite noticeable and cause embarrassment.


HIV Rash: Causes and Treatments
The rash appears when your body tries to fight off the virus. Other symptoms of early HIV infection include fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, headaches, muscle aches, and diarrhea. These typically last about 2 weeks.


HIV Rash: Causes and Treatments
HIV weakens the cells that normally fend off infection. Over time, your body may be less able to fight infections that cause rashes. Molluscum contagiosum: This viral skin infection causes small, flesh-colored bumps that can appear anywhere on your body, though usually not on your hands or the soles of your feet.


Facts About HIV/AIDS
Many people have no symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people may have a flu-like illness (including fever, headache, tiredness and enlarged lymph nodes) within a month or two after exposure to the virus.


HIV Rash: Causes and Treatments
Over time, your body may be less able to fight infections that cause rashes. These can include: Molluscum contagiosum: This viral skin infection causes small, flesh-colored bumps that can appear anywhere on your body, though usually not on your hands or the soles of your feet.


The HIV Rash
Acute HIV Rash: A Symptom of HIV Infection. When people are first infected with HIV, they may experience an acute, 'flu-like' illness called a 'seroconversion illness,' about 2-4 weeks after being infected. The HIV rash is a symptom of this condition. The rash will mostly affect the upper part of the body and will probably be found on the shoulder, chest area (as in the picture below), face, torso and palms of the hands.


The HIV Rash
Rashes Due to HIV Medication. HIV rashes often appear as either a side-effect of, or an allergic reaction to certain antiretroviral medication. NNRTI medication: Causes the majority of skin rashes, with nevirapine rashes being the most severe. Women are at a particular risk of developing nevirapine rashes.


HIV Rash: Causes and Treatments
Herpes viruses: These are common in people with HIV and AIDS, and itâs harder for people with weakened immune systems to stop flare-ups. Shingles (also known as herpes zoster) can cause a painful skin rash that looks like a stripe of water blisters.


""" What causes bloody runny noses? """
However, because there are other things which can cause these symptoms, it is always best for a pediatrician to evaluate a child's symptoms. In the case of a bloody nose, this evaluation can help ensure that other health conditions are not missed as well as recommend ways to minimize nasal dryness and irritation.


Runny Nose in Dogs
It may also be from a foreign object that has become lodged in the nose. If your dog has a middle ear disease, it may decrease the normal secretions and cause the animal to secrete an abnormal amount of mucus. Remember that it is normal for your dog to sneeze and have a nasal discharge, just as it is for humans. It is only when it becomes severe or chronic that you need to become concerned.


Diagnosing a Dog With Runny Nose Symptoms
Dog runny nose symptoms could have a number of causes. They might be a sign of infection, allergies or dental disease. Here's some more information about the causes of runny nose symptoms in dogs.


Runny Nose in Dogs
However, if the dog has a swallowing disorder or a digestive tract disease, secretions may be forced into the postnasal area. If the secretions are coming from the eye, it may be caused by nerve damage to the middle ear. This nasal discharge may be watery, thick and mucus-like, or it may have pus or blood in it.


Diagnosing a Dog With Runny Nose Symptoms
Dog allergies can cause coughing, wheezing and runny nose. Allergies occur when your dog's immune system overreacts to a non-pathogenic agent. Allergic sensitivities can develop at any time during a dog's life, so don't think they can't make your dog sick just because he's never had them before.


Diagnosing a Dog With Runny Nose Symptoms
Probably the most serious cause of upper respiratory symptoms in dogs is nose cancer, or nasal adenocarcinoma. Blood in your dog's snot may be a sign of nasal cancer. This type of cancer grows slowly and is very invasive.


Diagnosing a Dog With Runny Nose Symptoms
If your dog has a runny nose and isn't sick, he might have something lodged in his nasal passages. Dogs often sniff small objects up their noses; he could have inhaled a blade of grass or a seed. Often, your dog will sneeze out the object on his own; if health symptoms persist, your vet can removed the foreign object.


""" What causes bloody runny noses? """
There are many different things which can cause a bloody nose or blood-streaked nasal mucous. In a child, a pediatrician is the best physician to make an initial assessment and determine whether other physicians such as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors should become involved. The skin lining the nasal passages is very thin and delicate which is what makes it prone to bleeding with even minor irritation. Irritating factors can include cold/dry weather; seasonal or environmental allergies; or an infection that causes typical upper respiratory 'cold' symptoms. Some other common causes of bleeding from the nose include trauma or a foreign body (in a child, most often related to nose-picking).


Runny Nose in Dogs
Nasal Discharge in Dogs. The throat is the end of the two major air passages, which begin at the nostrils. Very fine scrolls of bone called turbinates fill the nasal passages. They have a covering of pink tissue (mucosa), much like the lining of the mouth.


Diagnosing a Dog With Runny Nose Symptoms
If your dog's runny nose is chronic, he may be suffering from a severe infestation of nasal mites. This is especially the case if your dog has recently been housed in a kennel or shelter, as nasal mites are common in these facilities.

Reducing Readmissions for Congestive Heart Failure
Approximately 30 to 40 percent of patients with heart failure are readmitted within six months of hospitalization. Studies have concluded that readmissions for heart failure could be prevented in at least 40 percent of cases.5 Unnecessary readmissions contribute significantly to the cost of this disease. Unfortunately, the prevalence of heart failure continues to rise and has resulted in an annual expenditure of $10 billion for diagnosis and treatment. 3 The average hospital stay for treatment of this disease is nine days, 4 and the overall five-year mortality rate is 50 percent.

Overview
In mitral valve disease, the mitral valve, which is located between your left heart chambers (left atrium and left ventricle), doesn't work properly. Types of mitral valve disease include:Mitral valve regurgitation. In this condition, the flaps (leaflets) of the mitral valve don't close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium of your heart. If not treated, it can result in heart muscle damage.The most common cause of blood leakage is mitral valve prolapse, in which the leaflets bulge back into the left atrium as your heart contracts. 1  Mitral valve stenosis. 2  In this condition, the flaps of the mitral valve become thick or stiff, and they may fuse together. Mitral valve stenosis. 2  In this condition, the flaps of the mitral valve become thick or stiff, and they may fuse together. 3  This results in a narrowed valve opening and reduced blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

Menâs Use of Testosterone on the Rise
The new study is the largest of testosterone prescribing patterns to date, involving nearly 11 million men who were tracked through a large health insurer. The report showed that the number of older and middle-aged men prescribed the hormone has tripled since 2001. Men in their 40s represent the fastest-growing group of users. About half of men prescribed testosterone had a diagnosis of hypogonadism, and roughly 40 percent had erectile or sexual dysfunction.


Testosterone therapy: Potential benefits and risks as you age
What happens to testosterone levels with age? Testosterone levels generally peak during adolescence and early adulthood. As you get older, your testosterone level gradually declines â typically about 1 percent a year after age 30 or 40. It is important to determine in older men if a low testosterone level is simply due to the decline of normal aging or if it is due to a disease (hypogonadism).


-
Testosterone levels in men start to spike during puberty and drop on average by one percent every year after age 30. Lack of this key sex hormone in older men can cause health issues, including osteoporosis, loss of muscle mass and coordination (sarcopenia), and psychological symptoms.

First approved in 1979, Depo-testosterone is one of the older drugs of its kind on the market. Itâs a liquid and is designed for injection deep into the gluteal muscle. The active ingredient, testosterone cypionate, is a white or creamy white powder mixed with other ingredients to make a solution.


Gonadal hormone
In men, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as the testis and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.


-
Four times as many men used testosterone products in 2014 than in 2000. In 2013, 2.3 million Americans were being treated with testosterone therapy. In 2011, nearly one in 25 men in their 60s was taking testosterone. Prescription sales of testosterone increased from $18 million in 1988 to $1.6 billion in 2011.


Menâs Use of Testosterone on the Rise
The average levels for most men range from 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter of blood. But testosterone levels can fluctuate so greatly depending on so many factors â sleep, the time of day, medication â that many men who fall into the hypogonadal range one day will have normal levels the next.


-
In the hepatic 17-ketosteroid pathway of testosterone metabolism, testosterone is converted in the liver by 5Î±-reductase and 5Î²-reductase into 5Î±-DHT and the inactive 5Î²-DHT, respectively. Then, 5Î±-DHT and 5Î²-DHT are converted by 3Î±-HSD into 3Î±,5Î±-androstanediol and 3Î±,5Î²-androstanediol, respectively.

Learn About the Agents of Erosion
Wind Erosion. Erosion by wind is known as aeolian (or eolian) erosion (named after Aeolus, the Greek god of winds) and occurs almost always in deserts. Aeolian erosion of sand in the desert is partially responsible for the formation of sand dunes. The power of the wind erodes rock and sand.


How are weathering, erosion, and deposition related?
weathering, erosion, and deposition are a main force behind landscape types.  But they are not the only reason for a plain, plateau, and mountain region to form. o Other factors such as glaciation and tectonic activity lead to landscape building.


Weathering, Erosion, Deposition (WED)
Without this process, weathering, erosion, and deposition would have a difficult time occurring on Earth. Weathering. -- chemical and physical processes that change the characteristics of rocks on the Earths surface. o also known as the preparation for erosion. o for weathering to occur, the rock sample must change and rock needs to be exposed to water and air. o Human processes such as pollution, (like acid rain) along with the acts of other living organisms, can cause chemical weathering to occur at faster rates.


Learn About the Agents of Erosion
The process known as weathering breaks up rocks so that they can be carried away by the process known as erosion. Water, wind, ice, and waves are the agents of erosion that wear away at the surface of the Earth.

As the amnion enlarges it encompasses the embryo on the. ventral side, merging around the umbilical cord. Amnion forms the epithelial layer of the umbilical cord. With embryo growth the amnion obliterates the chorionic. cavity. Amnionic sac is fluid filled called amnionic fluid: the. embryo is bathed in the fluid.


Stomach and Duodenum
The stomach is a J-shaped sac connecting the esophagus above and the small intestine below. The first part of the small intestine is known as the duodenum. The stomach varies considerably in size, shape and position but lies in the upper central part of the abdomen behind the lower ribs. Although it is a single organ, several different parts of the stomach exist: the fundus, body, antrum and pylorus.

Erosion can be caused by natural elements such as wind and glacial ice. But anyone who has ever seen a picture of the Grand Canyon knows that nothing beats the slow steady movement of water when it comes to changing the Earth. The key to erosion is something called fluid flow.. Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity. Of the three, liquid water is the most common agent of erosion because there's so much of it on the surface of the Earth. To see what kind of effects water has on a model landscape, try my Science Lab. Top of Page. Dirtmeister: Erosion | Teacher's Guide | Try Another Offline Science Lab | Meet the Dirtmeister.


Erosion
Water and wind erosion are the two primary causes of land degradation; combined, they are responsible for about 84% of the global extent of degraded land, making excessive erosion one of the most significant environmental problems worldwide.


Soil erosion
Soil erosion. Soil erosion is the displacement of upper layer of soil. one form of soil degradation. The erosion of soil is a naturally occurring process on all land. The agents of soil erosion are water and wind, each contributing a significant amount of soil loss each year. Soil erosion may be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed, or it may occur at an alarming rate causing a serious loss of topsoil.
