Vaping 101: How Do E-Cigarettes Work?
The FDA proposed new regulations on e-cigarettes on Thursday, including rules that would make them off-limits to children under 18 years old. Electronic cigarettes have become big business over the last year, with sales reaching an estimated $2 billion in 2013. Despite the size of the market, the battery-powered puffers are relatively new to many people. In case you have not seen people vaping near you, here are the basics.

General Dynamics delivered the first M1 Abrams battle tanks to the U.S. Army in 1980, but it wasn't until 1991's Operation Desert Storm that the world fully appreciated the weapon's capabilities. The U.S. Army and Marine Corps deployed nearly 2,000 M1s to the Persian Gulf, and all but 18 returned in working condition.


How M1 Tanks Work
How M1 Tanks Work. Great Britain developed the modern tank in the early 1900s as a response to the rise of trench warfare. In the battles of World War I, opposing forces dug parallel trench fortifications guarded by barbed wire and machine gunners. This strategy made for high casualties on both sides.


How M1 Tanks Work
ÂCaterpillar tracks work on the same principle as a conveyer belt. The tank engine rotates one or more steel sprockets, which move a track made up of hundreds of metal links. The tank's wheels ride along the moving track, just like the wheels in a car run along the road.

1 What is the size of the property to be surveyed?  The larger the property, the longer the land survey will take. This is true for all survey types including surveys used for Title Companies, surveys used for real estate, boundary surveys used for land disputes, etc.


Why Get a Survey?
A survey is essential for any buyer, whether it is for the re-sale of a home or sale of a new home. Our average residential survey is $750, well worth the price for the protection it provides to the buyer. If a buyer obtains a survey of the property and ownerâs title insurance on that property, the title company will insure you for any surveying issues that may arise. Without a survey the ownerâs title insurance policy will exclude coverage for anything that a survey would have disclosed.

Norman Castles
Stone Castles took so long to build that William laid plans to build Norman Timber Castles when he mounted his invasion. Pre-built wooden castles were loaded on to the Norman invasion fleet. The first pre-built Norman Wooden Castle was erected at Pevensey Bay in 1066.Temporary wooden Motte and Bailey castles were quickly replaced by the permanent stone Norman castles dominated by their massive keeps.orman Castles were typically built on the highest ground in the area, often adjoined Rivers and overlooking towns and harbours.

Motte-and-bailey castle
A motte-and-bailey castle was made up of two structures, a motte, a type of moundâoften artificialâtopped with a wooden or stone structure known as a keep; and at least one bailey, a fortified enclosure built next to the motte.The term motte and bailey is a relatively modern one, and is not medieval in origin.lthough motte-and-bailey castles are the best known castle design, they were not always the most numerous in any given area.

Why do my armpits smell musky?
Bacteria from the propionibacteria family (and others) naturally reside on the surface of our armpits. The propionibacteria in particular are responsible for the musky b.O. smell. Interesting trivia: bacteria from the same family are used to create the holes in swiss cheese during the fermentation process.


Why do my armpits smell so bad?
Best Answer: Sweat does not have a bad odor. There are bacteria that live on your skin, including in your armpits. These bacteria are very attracted to sweat, and begin multiplying in the presence of sweat. The bacteria cause the smell. Deodorants contains antibacterials that kill these bacteria.


Why do my armpits smell musky?
In brief: Bacteria. Apocrine sweat glands secrete an oil in response to stress. Sweat is pushed to the surface of your skin where bacteria begin breaking it down. Most often, it's the bacterial breakdown of apocrine sweat that causes an odor.


Preventing Body Odor
1 Bacteria have a hard time breeding in dry areas of the body.  Try a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water to fight body odor. Use 1 teaspoon of peroxide (3%) to 1 cup (8 ounces) of water. Wipe this on affected areas (underarm, feet, groin) with a washcloth. This may help destroy some of the bacteria that creates odor.

Why Do I Have Armpit Odor Now & I Didn't Before?
Eccrine and Apocrine Glands. Your skin contains two types of sweat glands, known as eccrine and apocrine glands. Most armpit sweat comes from the eccrine glands, has no odor and serves the function of cooling the body. Eccrine sweat is mostly water and salt. Fresh apocrine sweat is also odorless, but when it combines with the bacteria found in 90% of male and 70% of female armpits, it causes body odor.


Why Do I Have Armpit Odor Now & I Didn't Before?
Armpit odor usually first occurs in puberty, when sweat from your apocrine glands combines with bacteria on your body. According to WorsleySchool.net, armpit odor tends to get worse as you age. Many people begin using underarm deodorant or antiperspirant in puberty or early adolescence.


Why do my armpits smell musky?
Moisture from the sweat and your own body heat create the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, which causes odor. In brief: Bacteria! The armpits have many sweat glands. Moisture from the sweat and your own body heat create the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, which causes odor.

Without the phosphate group, the nucleobase and sugar compose a nucleoside. The phosphate groups form bonds with either the 2, 3, or 5-carbon of the sugar, with the 5-carbon site most common. Cyclic nucleotides form when the phosphate group is bound to two of the sugar's hydroxyl groups.


Comments: Nucleoside vs Nucleotide
A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.


Principles of Biochemistry/Nucleic acid I: DNA and its nucleotides
Nucleotides contain either a purine or a pyrimidine base. Ribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is ribose. Deoxyribonucleotides are nucleotides in which the sugar is deoxyribose. Nucleic acids are polymeric macromolecules made from nucleotide monomers.


What is a nucleotide?
Answers. Relevance. Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: A nucleotide is a nitrogenous molecule with a sugar 'backbone'. They are capable of connecting to each other in a string-like formation, as well as pairing with other types of nucleotide so that two strings could connect parallel to each other.


Nucleic acid sequence
Nucleic acids consist of a chain of linked units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three subunits: a phosphate group and a sugar (ribose in the case of RNA, deoxyribose in DNA) make up the backbone of the nucleic acid strand, and attached to the sugar is one of a set of nucleobases.


Nucleic acid sequence
A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of letters that indicate the order of nucleotides within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule. By convention, sequences are usually presented from the 5' end to the 3' end. For DNA, the sense strand is used.

What color should I paint my hallway?
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: For the hallway color, keep one wall white and paint the other color different.....an accent wall. You can do a simple paint job (one color) or go for something a little more bold (like a leather look).

Colors to Paint Narrow Hallways
Without Doors or Windows. For hallways with no doors or windows, choose light greens or blues. Instead of using just one color for the walls, choose a deeper shade for the base of the wall and a lighter shade for the top. To do this, simply paint the bottom of the wall to about 3 feet up from the floor.


Why Choosing Foyer or Entry Wall Colors is Tricky

Colors to Paint Narrow Hallways
Narrow hallways can appear wider by using paints in a lighter color. When choosing paint, consider not only the wall color but also the color for the trim. To ensure that the narrow hallway does not feel claustrophobic, choose colors for the door trim that recede, rather than stand out against the wall colors. The idea is to visually create a more spacious walkway.

A hallway should be the reverse of what's happening around it. If the rooms are white, then the hall can take on a more dramatic color. But if it has no architectural features, the dramatic approach can look a little imposed. This seagull gray doesn't scream for attention, yet it has presence. Light, yet deep enough to look sharp with a contrasting trim..


-
Usually hallways don't get much sun, so I like yellow â a color that emanates warmth and light. It won't take on that gray pallor that white and beige or tan can acquire when there's no window around. This yellow tends more to pink than green, which combats those cold violet shadows.

Plants and green algae (plants are really advanced green algae) contain chlorophyll a (which is teal-green), chlorophyll b (which is yellow-green), and beta-carotene (which is yellow), thus giving them a green color.


Do plants have other photosynthetic pigments besides chlorophyll?
Best Answer: Yes. What we call chlorophyll is actually two different molecules, chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B. There's also other pigments, such as the carotenes. These pigments allow for a greater absorption of light. If you look for it, you can find absorption graphs showing which frequencies of light are absorbed best into a plant.


-
These accessory pigments can be other chlorophylls or they can be completely different pigments with completely different colors, including yellow (xanthophylls), orange (carotenes), red and purple (phycobilins) or brown and gray (phaeophytin).

What Is Vasopressin (Vasostrict)?
Vasopressin, as an antidiuretic hormone, causes blood vessels to contract to prevent the body from losing water through urination. Vasopressin was originally manufactured by Parke Davis (now a division of Pfizer) under the brand name Pitressin, a brand name that was later discontinued.


Pitressin
Vasopressin is a man-made form of a hormone called anti-diuretic hormone that is normally secreted by the pituitary gland. In the body, vasopressin acts on the kidneys and blood vessels. Vasopressin helps prevent the loss of water from the body by reducing urine output and helping the kidneys reabsorb water in the body. Vasopressin also raises blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels.

Off-label uses of vasopressin include treating vasodilatory shock, in which blood vessels become so relaxed â and blood pressure falls so sharply â that blood cannot be pumped efficiently throughout the body. Doctors also prescribe vasopressin off-label to treat bleeding in the stomach and intestinal tract. The drug is administered by injection in a healthcare setting. In addition to being a laboratory-made drug, vasopressin is a hormone the body makes on its own (it's also known as an antidiuretic hormone, or ADH). The hormone helps the body regulate water loss and maintain adequate hydration.


Septic shock: Vasopressin treatment
Endogenous vasopressin levels are significantly lower in adult patients with severe sepsis which is thought to contribute to the hypotension of shock. The rationale for the use of vasopressin is its relative deficiency in circulation and the increased sensitivity to its vasopressor effects seen during septic shock.


Septic shock: Vasopressin treatment
Patients with septic shock is sensitive to vasopressin administration. Very low doses of vasopressin (from 0.01 to 0.05 units/min) have been shown to improve mean arterial pressure. In addition, doses above 0.04 units/minute did not consistently improve hemodynamics. Studies of vasopressin in adults with vasodilatory shock have used infusion rates of 0.01 to 0.1 units/min.


Septic shock: Vasopressin treatment
Septic shock: Vasopressin treatment. Septic shock is the most common type of vasodilatory shock and leading cause of mortality in the United States. Currently cardiovascular support involves fluid administration, use of catecholamines, and potentially the use of inotropes, corticosteroids, or vasopressin.


Vasopressin
Vasopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus, which is caused by a lack of this naturally occurring pituitary hormone in the body. Vasopressin is also used to treat or prevent certain conditions of the stomach after surgery or during abdominal x-rays.


What Is Vasopressin (Vasostrict)?
Vasostrict is used to help reduce the buildup of fluid in the abdominal area, in emergency situations in which people have flatlined (no discernible heartbeat), and to treat diabetes insipidus (a problem involving sodium and water handling by the kidneys).


Vasopressin
Vasopressin can cause temporary side effects such as nausea, stomach pain, or blanching of your skin (such as pale spots when you press on the skin). Drinking 1 or 2 glasses of water each time you receive an injection may help ease these side effects.

A cockpit dodger or awning is a must with this design for adequate ventilation of the cabin in inclement weather.

Catalina 30
Introduced in 1974, as the big brother to and natural step-up from Catalina's popular 27 footer, the original design remained nearly unchanged for 20 years. In 1994, Catalina introduced the Catalina 30 Mark III with some subtle changes in styling to give the boat a more Euro look.The hull was widened slightly from about station seven (70% of the waterline length) aft in order to incorporate a transom boarding platform and ports were added to the hull sides.uite frankly, I found myself a little surprised that I hadn't included a review of the Catalina 30 earlier in this series. Better late than never and perhaps even more appropriate now because 1998 celebrates the 25th year of production of the Catalina 30.


Catalina 320
The beam at the transom of the Catalina 320 is 87% of the maximum beam while that of their earlier models was closer to 60%. This is an industry trend that can result in as much as 10% more interior volume for a given length and translates to added space for accommodations.evised by BoatUS editors in October 2012.

What questions should I ask a college coach during a campus visit?
Keep in mind that many of these questions may be answered by the coach before you ever ask them. I recommend, however, that you know what you want to discuss with the coach before you visit and if necessary, take a note pad with you to keep your thoughts organized. This is a great opportunity to show the coach how prepared you are.


5 Types of Questions You NEED to Ask a College Coach

I got this little kitty about 2 months back. He was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack. This little kitty is a ninja, always stalking my feet.

I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper.

5 Exercises for Rotator Cuff Pain
She says, âThe rotator cuff serves as a sleeve that enables the ball to spin and roll while remaining on the tee.â The most common rotator cuff injuries are impingements and tears. Impingement: An impingement occurs when a rotator cuff muscle swells and cramps the space between the arm and shoulder bones, causing pinching. Muscle strain, other overuse injuries, and bone spurs are common causes of swelling. Tear: A less common injury, a rotator cuff tear occurs when a rotator cuff tendon or muscle is torn. Most tears will not require surgery. Repetitive, overhead motions can wear down the rotator cuff muscles and are thus a common cause of injury. This is why athletes such as baseball pitchers frequently have shoulder issues.


Cuff (Rotator) Tear Arthropathy
The most common symptom of rotator cuff tear arthropathy is pain in and around the shoulder. The pain can also radiate into your neck, arm, even into your wrist or hand. The shoulder can be especially painful when trying to lift the arm, or rotate it outward. The pain is usually worse at night.


Anatomy
Becauses x-rays do not show the soft tissues of your shoulder like the rotator cuff, plain x-rays of a shoulder with rotator cuff pain are usually normal or may show a small bone spur. A special x-ray view, called an outlet view, sometimes will show a small bone spur on the front edge of the acromion.


Anatomy
Your shoulder is made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). Your arm is kept in your shoulder socket by your rotator cuff. These muscles and tendons form a covering around the head of your upper arm bone and attach it to your shoulder blade. There is a lubricating sac called a bursa between the rotator cuff and the bone on top of your shoulder (acromion).


Rotator Cuff Injury
May lead to a chronic tear: When a rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed (tend=tendon +itis=inflammation), it runs the risk of losing its blood supply, causing some tendon fibers to die. This increases the risk that the rotator cuff tendon can fray and partially or completely tear.


Definition
Rotator Cuff Injury Â» Rotator cuff injuries are a common cause of shoulder pain in people of all age groups. Read More on Medscape Reference Â»


Rotator Cuff Injury
Acute rotator cuff tear Symptoms can be a sudden tearing sensation followed by severe pain shooting from the upper shoulder area (both in front and in back) down the arm toward the elbow. There is decreased range of motion of the shoulder because of pain and muscle spasm.


Cuff (Rotator) Tear Arthropathy
If the rotator cuff is torn and is not repaired, a type of wear and tear arthritis of the shoulder can develop over time. This condition is sometimes called arthropathy and the term cuff tear arthropathy is used to describe this type of arthritis of the shoulder that develops when the rotator cuff is damaged.
