The Human Balance System
For example, increased pressure is felt in the front part of the soles of the feet when a standing person leans forward. With any movement of the legs, arms, and other body parts, sensory receptors respond by sending impulses to the brain.The sensory impulses originating in the neck and ankles are especially important. Proprioceptive cues from the neck indicate the direction in which the head is turned.ll three of these sources send information to the brain in the form of nerve impulses from special nerve endings called sensory receptors. Figure 1. Balance is achieved and maintained by a complex set of sensorimotor control systems.


Mechanoreceptors
Touch. Light touch is detected by receptors in the skin. Many of these are found next to hair follicles so even if the skin is not touched directly, movement of the hair is detected.Touch receptors are not distributed evenly over the body.any of these are found next to hair follicles so even if the skin is not touched directly, movement of the hair is detected. Touch receptors are not distributed evenly over the body.

Ruffini corpuscles in skin are considered to be skin stretch sensitive receptors of the discriminative touch system. They also work with the proprioceptors in joints and muscles to indicate the position and movement of body parts.he sensitivity of the receptors to specific stimuli (e.g., touch verses muscle stretch) is determined by the location of the receptor and by the non-neural tissue surrounding the 1Â° afferent terminal (Figure 2.6). Figure 2.6. The locations of cutaneous (somatosensory) receptors in hairy and non-hairy (glabrous) skin.


The Nervous System
The ________ ________ is the part of the brain the extends from the cerebrum and connects it to the spinal cord.our nervous system is made up of ________ which are made up of a cell body and branches of dendrites and axons.


-
Much of the brain and nervous system is devoted to the processing of sensory input, in order to construct detailed representations of the external environment. Through vision, audition, somatosensation, and the other senses, we perceive the world and our relationship to it. All of the motor neurons in a motor neuron pool innervate a single muscle (Figure 1.4), and all motor neurons that innervate a particular muscle are contained in the same motor neuron pool. 2  Thus, there is a one-to-one relationship between a muscle and a motor neuron pool.


Thermoplastic elastomer
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.hermoplastic elastomers show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The principal difference between thermoset elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers is the type of cross-linking bond in their structures.

Total Power Exchange. (TPE). Many people in the lifestyle talk about Total Power Exchange, and the phrase seems fairly self explanatory. However it is not quite as simplistic as it sounds, and i believe that for many, there are varying degrees and ideas of what it actually is and how it actually works.f course there can be occasions when a power exchange is not a TPE. A play session may take place, where one or other party holds back â this does not mean it isnât real-it is a partial power exchange.

Rats can carry fleas that may be infected with the bacteria that cause bubonic plague. Headaches are common in people with bubonic plague. Bubonic plague manifests in the form of swollen lymph nodes. Bubonic Plague causes large bruises to appear. Exposure to infected rodents like the prairie dog can cause transmission of the bubonic plague.


What Is the Bubonic Plague?
The mortality rate of bubonic plague is 50 to 90 percent if not treated; the mortality rate is 15 percent when this condition is diagnosed and treated early.


Black Death
The plague disease, caused by Yersinia pestis, is enzootic (commonly present) in populations of fleas carried by ground rodents, including marmots, in various areas including Central Asia, Kurdistan, Western Asia, Northern India and Uganda.


The Black Death: Bubonic Plague
By the following August, the plague had spread as far north as England, where people called it The Black Death because of the black spots it produced on the skin. A terrible killer was loose across Europe, and Medieval medicine had nothing to combat it.


Black Death
The Black Death ravaged much of the Islamic world. Plague was present in at least one location in the Islamic world virtually every year between 1500 and 1850. Plague repeatedly struck the cities of North Africa.

In the early 1330s an outbreak of deadly bubonic plague occurred in China. The bubonic plague mainly affects rodents, but fleas can transmit the disease to people. Once people are infected, they infect others very rapidly. Plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands called buboes, which is how it gets its name. The disease also causes spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black.


What Is the Bubonic Plague?
When an animal or person is infected with Yersinia pestis, the bacteria affect the lymph system, causing the characteristic symptoms. If bubonic plague is left untreated, plague bacteria can quickly multiply in the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague. The bacteria could also progress to the lungs, causing pneumonic plague.


What Is the Bubonic Plague?
Bubonic plague is the most common form of plague, an illness that occurs in humans, rodents, and ectoparasites (fleas and lice). The condition is caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria and characterized by large, infected lymph nodes called buboes.


Black Death
Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30â60% of Europe's total population. In total, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350â375 million in the 14th century.

Traditional attars are made from natural materials, and do not contain added alcohol.


Labdanum
But of all the smells that halt me in my tracks, itâs the scent of cistus or labdanum that halts me most, and then haunts me. I canât pin it down; it oscillates between categories too much â balsamic, leathery, animalic, resinous, green â for me to move on.

Millions of people suffer from painful and swollen joints caused by rheumatism and other forms of arthritis and one of the best documented and traditional uses of labdanum essential oil is in its treatment of rheumatism. There are several ways that you can use labdanum oil to soothe your painful joints.


6 Uses for Labdanum Essential oil
Labdanum essential oil which is used today in aromatherapy is derived from the leaves and twigs of the shrub by steam distillation. Its scent is sweet, woody with musky undertones and is highly valued in the perfume industry today for its ability to enhance multiple scents.


Labdanum
And in many perfumes, the aroma doesnât last either. Take Donna Karanâs Labdanum from her Essence series. This is a perfect cistus scent for 20 minutes but fades to a creamy sweetness, that hints at everyday amber, way too quickly. I like it, but wish the wonder lasted. And Poivre 23 by le Labo has a wonderful journey through labdanum a few minutes in. Here, I donât mind its loss: the many facets of this scent are the reason to wear it. Perhaps Andy Tauerâs lâair du desert marocain is the best example of a cistus note that lasts, held up and supported by other equally rugged aromas.


6 Uses for Labdanum Essential oil
It is not as well known for its therapeutic benefits though in aromatherapy. Labdanum oil is used for its ability to deal with a range of emotional and mental issues and is known to relieve stress and to exert calm and tranquility on the mind. That being said, labdanum does consist of a number of therapeutic properties and it is possible that its medicinal potential has yet to be discovered.

How to get HBO GO without paying full price for a cable subscription
Thatâs why it might be time to take advantage of one of the little known secrets of the cable industry. Geoffrey Fowler wrote a piece for The Wall Street Journal this Wednesday exposing âthe secret codeâ to keep HBO without paying for the additional 500 channels you never watch.


All Your Questions About the Stand-alone HBO Go Answered
What advantages will Netflix (and other O-T-T services) still have over HBO? Theyâll probably be cheaper, at least if you subscribe to HBO directly (without a promotion from your broadband provider). Netflix is now $9 a month for new subscribers, while Amazon Prime costs $99 a year. Netflixâs catalogue of older movies, while constantly changing, might be deeper than HBO. And both Netflix and Amazon (as well as Hulu) are constantly investing in new kinds of programming.


HBO Go vs HBO Now: Which is right for you?
In this regard, HBO Go is the more complicated of the two. Order to use HBO Go on a device, you must first authenticate the service through a cable or satellite provider. Itâs a bit tedious, but the good news is there is no cap on the number of devices that can be tied to an account.


All Your Questions About the Stand-alone HBO Go Answered
That price, of course, varies widely based on your cable company or whether you get a promotional deal. But the average cost of an HBO subscription is about $15 now; it seems likely the O-T-T offering will be priced similarly.


HBO Go vs HBO Now: Which is right for you?
First off, HBO Now costs $15 per month. Itâs a standalone package, which means it doesnât require a cable subscription to use it. HBO Go, on the other hand, is free with an HBO subscription â but thatâs the only way to access it. So, in order to use HBO Go, one must first have HBO; and in order to have HBO, one must be paying for cable or satellite â ostensibly.


How to get HBO GO without paying full price for a cable subscription
Fowler, a Comcast subscriber, was able to keep HBO, a few basic channels and his Internet service while switching from a triple-play package to âInternet Plus,â and ended up cutting his monthly bill from $212 to just $75.


How to get HBO GO without paying full price for a cable subscription
If you want to get HBO (and HBO GO) without having to resort to borrowing a friendâs password or staring through a neighborâs window, here are the packages you need to ask for at four of the most prevalent cable providers in the country: 1  Comcast: âInternet Plusâ. 2  Time Warner Cable: âStarter TV+HBO and an Internet planâ.


HBO Go vs HBO Now: Which is right for you?
HBO Go makes the most sense for people who are already subscribed to HBO because (surprise!) you technically already have HBO Go. For those who have cable without HBO, HBO Go still makes sense right now, as it is currently offered on more devices than its sibling.


-
35. HBO fans have it pretty good these days. The premium network has begun offering its own standalone subscription service, HBO Now, the estranged sibling of the cable-offshoot service, HBO Go, allowing a host of ways to get your HBO fix online.

An Occupational Therapy Assistant can get an average wage ranging from 40000 - 60000 based on education and experience. Occupational Therapy Assistants usually receive a wage of Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred dollars every year. Occupational Therapy Assistants can get the highest pay in Texas, where they can get wages of just about $65900. These professionals receive the highest salary in Administrative, Support and Waste Management Services, where they can receive job pay of $60540.


Occupational Therapy Assistant Salary
An occupational therapy assistants salary depends on factors such as which state you live in, who your employer is, how much experience you have, and the type of facility you work in. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the job outlook for occupational therapy assistants is excellent. In fact, its one of the fastest growing fields in medicine, and that growth is unlikely to slow down any time soon. The average annual salary for OTAs is $56,950, according to a BLS report from May 2014. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $36,420, and the top 10 percent earned more than $76,790. Occupational therapy assistants can earn more money if they are experienced in certain areas.

Alignment Cost. Alignments come in one of two forms: two-wheel and four-wheel alignments. Two-wheel, or front-end alignments, usually cost between $40 and $65, while four-wheel are $50 to $95 as of 2009. Costs vary depending on the shop doing the work and the equipment it uses. Alignments are primarily labor only jobs, so local market conditions dictate the price.


Tire & Service Network Limited Service Warranty
NOTE: Steering or suspension parts installed after the alignment voids the limited warranty. PARTS: 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. LABOR: 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first.


-
1 Lifetime Alignments tend to encourage the regular scheduled checkings, and that they don't lapse. 2  The lifetime plans usually run $150 to $200. 3  Firestone charges $179.99 for theirs. 4  Of course, buying for a young auto makes sense most of all.


-
1 Period Alignments serve the gap between single time and lifetime plans. 2  For example, Sears provides a six month alignment for $84.99 but this is most sensibly used for vehicles that justify the period. 3  Costlier yet, PepBoys offers a 3 month 4k warranty alignment for the same price or a 12 month for $109.99.


How Much Should It Cost to Install My New Tires?
Vehicles after 2007: $100-$150 per sensor for new TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors. Donât freak: Unlike standard rubber valve stems, you should not expect to replace TPMS sensors every time you replace your tires.


How Much Should It Cost to Install My New Tires?
Expect to pay: $13-$45 dollars per tire industry wide, depending on the size of the tire. Mounting (installing tires on to the rims) and balancing (adding weights to make sure the wheel weighs the same all around.) varies widely for cars, SUVs and light trucks, and is highly dependent on the size of the tire.


Wheel Alignment
Most manufacturers recommend getting a four-wheel alignment at least once a year. Other times you may need a front-end or four-wheel alignment include: 1  After purchasing a set of new Goodyear tires. 2  After a collision, accident, or hitting a large pothole. 3  When replacing suspension or steering parts. 4  If you feel your vehicle pulling to one side when driving.


How Much Should It Cost to Install My New Tires?
Expect to pay: Around $50 for a set of four tires. Protection plans vary both in price and coverage. Some plans cover more than others, and like any kind of insurance, the coverage is only as good as the company you buy it from.

Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The pair of an oxidizing and reducing agent that are involved in a particular reaction is called a redox pair.he reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the oxidizing agent to be reduced. Its value is zero for H + + e â â Â½ H 2 by definition, positive for oxidizing agents stronger than H + (e.g., +2.866 V for F 2) and negative for oxidizing agents that are weaker than H + (e.g., â0.763 V for Zn 2+).

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents. Oxidation and reduction occur together. If a chemical change results in a more positive oxidation number for an atom (âlossâ of electrons), some other atom (or atoms) necessarily acquires a more negative oxidation number (âgainâ of electrons).Note the formation of MgCl2, above.xidizing and Reducing Agents. Oxidation and reduction occur together. If a chemical change results in a more positive oxidation number for an atom (âlossâ of electrons), some other atom (or atoms) necessarily acquires a more negative oxidation number (âgainâ of electrons).


Reducing agent
A reducing agent is oxidized because it loses electrons in the redox reaction.Thus reducers are oxidized by oxidizers and oxidizers are reduced by reducers; reducers are by themselves reduced (have more electrons) and oxidizers are by themselves oxidized (have fewer electrons).ince the reducing agent is losing electrons, it is said to have been oxidized. If any chemical is an electron donor (reducing agent), another must be an electron recipient (oxidizing agent).


Redox
The term redox comes from two concepts involved with electron transfer: reduction and oxidation. It can be explained in simple terms: 1  Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.2  Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.he reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the oxidizing agent to be reduced. Its value is zero for H + + e â â Â½ H 2 by definition, positive for oxidizing agents stronger than H + (e.g., +2.866 V for F 2) and negative for oxidizing agents that are weaker than H + (e.g., â0.763 V for Zn 2+).


Redox Reactions
The Ce 4+ ion, which is reduced acts as the oxidizing agent. So oxidation reactions need not involve oxygen. This redox reaction is actually the sum of two separate half-reactions (a reduction half-reaction and an oxidation half-reaction).his redox reaction is actually the sum of two separate half-reactions (a reduction half-reaction and an oxidation half-reaction).


-
Another example is hydrogen peroxide, in which the oxygen atom is in the -1 oxidation state. Because this oxidation state lies between the extremes of the more common 0 and -2 oxidation states of oxygen, H 2 O 2 can act as either an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent.eaker oxidizing agent. weaker reducing agent. On the basis of many such experiments, the common oxidation-reduction half-reactions have been organized into a table in which the strongest reducing agents are at one end and the strongest oxidizing agents are at the other, as shown in the table below.

Of course, it is oxidized in the process. Since oxidation and reduction are symmetric processes, always occurring together, there is always an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent in the reaction.2.38. Lithium, having the largest negative value of electrode potential, is the strongest reducing agent. By convention, the standard electrode potentials are reduction potentials, or the tendency to be reduced.

Thus, the MnO 4 - ion acts as an oxidizing agent in this reaction. Oxalic acid, on the other hand, is a reducing agent in this reaction. By giving up electrons, it reduces the MnO 4 - ion to Mn 2+ .Atoms, ions, and molecules that have an unusually large affinity for electrons tend to be good oxidizing agents.Elemental fluorine, for example, is the strongest common oxidizing agent.eaker oxidizing agent. weaker reducing agent.

The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall
Over the course of the Berlin Wallâs existence, a blockade that was planned surreptitiously and erected without warning in 1961 (and which split the capital city between the half administered by the Soviets and the quarters overseen by the three other war victors), more than 100 people died trying to cross it.


Ten Facts About The Berlin Wall
Fact One. Construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13 1961 as a way of separating the three zones controlled by France, Britain and America from the zone controlled by the Soviet Union. After World War Two, Germany was split into four zones, each occupied by one of the four Allied powers that defeated the Nazis.


The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall
The passage later became known as Tunnel 57. During the two days it operated, it was the single most successful escape in the history of the Berlin Wall. *********. Neumann is the sort of man who, under normal circumstances, strikes one as nothing other than unremarkable.


Rare Berlin Wall watchtower still standing tall
The last standing structure of its kind in Berlin, the BT-6 watchtower (the oldest type of tower left along the Wall) has recently been restored and is now open for visitors to climb. When the Berlin Wall fell, there were around 200 such BT-6 watchtowers and 302 watchtowers in total along the Wall. They were placed 250-300 meters apart, a distance that matched the shooting range of an AK-47 assault rifle.


The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall
In 1963, a group of West German students set out to dig a tunnel underneath the Berlin Wall. Among them was a young man named Joachim Neumann, who had fled from East Germany, officially referred to as the German Democratic Republic, or GDR, just a few years earlier.


Ten Facts About The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was a wall separating the Eastern side of Berlin from the Western side. It was a symbol of The Cold War until it fell in 1989.


The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall
Neumannâs first tunnel project failed: someone informed the Stasi, the East German secret police, who arrested hopeful refugees as they tried to escape. Gruhle was one of those caught and was sentenced to 16 months in prison.


The Story of the Most Successful Tunnel Escape in the History of the Berlin Wall
As a 21-year-old civil engineering student in the East German city of Cottbus, around 125 kilometers southeast of Berlin, Neumann was only a few credits from earning his degree when decided to escape.


Rare Berlin Wall watchtower still standing tall
He brings up his plans for a theme park next to the watchtower, which he hopes will contain a 360-degree, 3-D reconstruction of the Berlin Wall between Potsdamer Platz and Brandenburg Gate. Moser-Metius is in the process of fundraising for the park.

DEBATE: Should prisoners be allowed to vote?
Dean Karemera. Prisoners are not allowed to vote in any election given the fact that they lose their freedom once they are convicted. But, I believe they should be given a right to vote since voting is a right, not a privilege, and actually I think itâs a responsibility.I would agree that prisoners wouldnât put it at the top of the list of things they want but maybe thatâs because it is not given to them.nd it shouldnât be about voting for top offices, they should be allowed to vote in grass root elections as well. If we encourage the relationship between prisoners and local government, prisoners are likely to pay more attention to issues of resettlement and employment.


Why Can't Felons Vote?
A troubling story that has not gotten much attention this election season  or any recent one, for that matter  is why a certain group of roughly 5.3 million Americans won't be allowed to vote. It isn't because they're underage or non-citizens or mentally incompetent.n 1800, no state prohibited felons from voting. On the eve of the Civil War, 80% of the states did, largely to block African Americans, who though rarely allowed to vote were disproportionately represented among felons.

Earlier explanations of why women first gained the right to vote in the western states like Colorado drew upon the popular myth of the frontier, which held that the West was a place where freedom, independence, and democracy reigned.1] The victory that western women were wild with joy over made Colorado the first state to enfranchise women through popular referendum, and it happened over a quarter of a century before the achievement of national women s suffrage in 1920.


Voting rights in the United States
The issue of voting rights in the United States has been fought for throughout United States history. Eligibility to vote in the United States is established both in the US Constitution and its amendments, and by state law.he United States Constitution did not originally define who was eligible to vote, allowing each state to determine who was eligible. In the early history of the U.S., most states allowed only free male adult property owners (of any ethnicity) to vote.

History of the Right to Vote in the United States
The 15th Amendment was added to the Constitution just after the Civil War. It says: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.The intent of this amendment was to give black males the right to vote.hile the majority of white males were qualified to vote, other people such as women, blacks, American Indians and members of certain religious groups were not allowed to vote.

Calcium Channel Blockers and Renal Protection: Insights from the Latest Clinical Trials
A CCB then can be renoprotective in the presence of a preserved GFR provided that micro- or macroalbuminuria is not present. If albumin excretion is elevated, then an ACE inhibitor or an ARB is required to obtain full protection of the kidney (16,17).


Proteinuria
Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions.


Calcium Channel Blockers and Renal Protection: Insights from the Latest Clinical Trials
Nondihydropiridine CCB have been shown to lead to a reduction in albuminuria or proteinuria, in particular when associated to an ACE inhibitor (20,21). The data of the AASK (12) point to a positive effect on renal function of amlodipine in patients with nephrosclerosis without proteinuria.


Proteinuria
Proteins from the blood can escape into the urine when the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, are damaged. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when a urine test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood.


Proteinuria
Large amounts of protein in your urine may cause it to look foamy in the toilet. Also, because the protein has left your body, your blood can no longer soak up enough fluid and you may notice swelling in your hands, feet, abdomen, or face. These are signs of very large protein loss.


Calcium Channel Blockers and Renal Protection: Insights from the Latest Clinical Trials
CCB and Renal Protection in Recent Trials in Hypertensive Patients. Two recently published trials in which different antihypertensive agents were compared have shown that CCB could be particularly positive for the long-term maintenance of GFR levels when compared with a diuretic and with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.

Diabetic Nephropathy: Common Questions
Diabetic nephropathy, or diabetic kidney disease, affects 20 to 30 percent of patients with diabetes. It is a common cause of kidney failure. Diabetic nephropathy presents in its earliest stage with low levels of albumin (microalbuminuria) in the urine. The most practical method of screening for microalbuminuria is to assess the albumin-to-creatinine ratio with a spot urine test. Results of two of three tests for microalbuminuria should be more than 30 mg per day or 20 mcg per minute in a three- to six-month period to diagnose a patient with diabetic nephropathy.

There are different diseases that can cause dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia. These share a common feature - an excessive build up of proteins in the brain. In Alzheimer's there are two culprit proteins, called amyloid and tau.


Vascular Dementia
Vascular brain changes often coexist with changes linked to other types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Several studies have found that vascular changes and other brain abnormalities may interact in ways that increase the likelihood of dementia diagnosis.

The Brain Tour
An adult brain weighs about 1.5kg (3.3lb) and contains about 90 billion nerve cells. As well as nerve cells our brains have about 90 billion other cells, plus blood vessels to help supply the nutrients and oxygen it needs. During dementia, nerve cells in different areas of the brain become damaged and eventually die.


Vascular Dementia
Symptomsback to top. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the severity of the blood vessel damage and the part of the brain affected. Memory loss may or may not be a significant symptom depending on the specific brain areas where blood flow is reduced.


What is dementia?
Mixed dementia, where more than one disease affects the brain, is also very common. Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimerâs disease is the most common form of dementia, and accounts for around two-thirds of dementia cases. It causes a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, usually beginning with memory loss. Other symptoms can include: lapses of judgement.


Vascular Dementia
Inadequate blood flow can damage and eventually kill cells anywhere in the body. The brain has one of the body's richest networks of blood vessels and is especially vulnerable. In vascular dementia, changes in thinking skills sometimes occur suddenly following strokes that block major brain blood vessels.
