How many hours are available on my DirecTV Genie?
2 TB = 400 (2 x 200 = 400) hours of HD. 500 GB = 97.65625 (500 x 0.1953125 = 97.65625) extra hours of hd recording. Once you have how many hours it can hold up to, just divide the answer by 100, then times it by the percent that is left. ex.) If i have a 2 TB hard drive, I should have around 400 hrs of HD recording capability, But if i only have 60% left of it, then 400 divided by 100 = 4 (so every 1% is 4 hrs).

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). A term for various types of chronic arthritis in children. Arthritis is an inflammation of the tissues lining the joints of the body. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis can cause swelling, pain, damage to the joints, and, in some cases, damage to other parts of the body.he most common symptom of all types of juvenile arthritis is persistent joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that is typically worse in the morning or after a nap. The pain may limit movement of the affected joint, although many children, especially younger ones, will not complain of pain.


Overview
Arthritis is often associated with older people, but it can also affect children. In the UK, about 15,000 children and young people are affected by arthritis. Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks. It causes intense pain and swelling. 2  Psoriatic arthritis â an inflammatory joint condition that can affect people with psoriasis. 3  Enteropathic arthritis â a form of chronic, inflammatory arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the two best-known types being ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.


Inflammatory Arthritis
Because most inflammatory forms of arthritis are systemic (meaning they affect the entire body), other symptoms related to inflammation may occur in other parts of the body. Depending on the specific form of arthritis, these symptoms could include skin rashes, eye inflammation, hair loss, dry mouth and fever.hese include rheumatoid arthritis [ link ], psoriatic arthritis [ link ], ankylosing spondylitis [ link ], juvenile idiopathic arthritis [ link ] and systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) [ link ] among others.

What The Color Of Your Pee Says About Your Health
âBut in general, if youâre drinking so much that your urine looks like water, you probably are drinking more than you need.â That being said, over-hydration rarely causes serious health issues. âYouâre probably not causing yourself great harm unless you are forcing yourself to drink far beyond what you need,â he noted.


What the color of your urine reveals about you
Pale straw to amber or honey: Lighter shades of yellow indicate that you are probably well-hydratedâbut as the color darkens, it could be a sign you need to refuel with fluids. Syrup or brown ale: If youâre noticing shades of brown in your urine, it could simply be a sign that you are dehydrated.

Transparent: If your pee is completely clear, it may be a sign that you are drinking too much water. âThere can be rare risks with drinking a very large amount of water [including] diluting the salts in the body, Shoskes said.


Resistance coefficient K, valves and fittings head loss and flow velocity | Pipe equivalent length L/D
It follows that: where is: K - resistance coefficient; f - friction factor; L - length; D - internal diameter; The ratio L/D is equivalent length in pipe diameters of straight pipe that will cause the same pressure drop or head loss as the valves or fittings under the same flow conditions.

Energy Savings: If less water flows through the system, then less energy is needed to heat domestic hot water. Calculations show that a Watts water pressure reducing valve can save as much as 30% on domestic water heating costs.


-
While energy savings can result from reducing steam pressure, there are a significant number of areas. where steam pressure reduction can reduce the operational effectiveness of the steam system. These. areas should be properly accounted for and understood.

Generally, pumps are a means of. fluid transport that convert mechanical. energy into hydraulic energy; i.e., pumps. increase fluid pressure. When process. conditions call for pressure to be dissi-. pated, a pump running backwards may. be used to capture that otherwise wasted. energy. The reverse running mode. converts hydraulic energy into mechan-. ical energy and can be used to drive a. generator or to assist the driver of other. rotating machines. By using an HPRT, as much as 85% of the energy otherwise. wasted in a throttling valve can be.


Minor Loss Coefficients in Pipes and Tubes Components
v = flow velocity (m/s, ft/s) g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2, 32.17 ft/s2) Minor loss coefficients for some of the most common used components in pipe and tube systems. The minor loss in a ball valve with flow velocity 2 m/s can be calculated. hminor_loss = (5.5) (2 m/s)2/ (2 (9.81 m/s2)) = 1.1 m.


Resistance coefficient K, valves and fittings head loss and flow velocity | Pipe equivalent length L/D
Pressure drop or head loss is proportional to the velocity in valves or fittings. For the most engineering practices it can be assumed that pressure drop or head loss due to flow of fluids in turbulent range through valves and fittings is proportional to square of velocity.


-
Over sizing water pressure reducing valves can lead to problems such as wire draw under low flow conditions. In general, the minimum flow through a water pressure reducing valve should be 10% to 15% of the maximum flow rate desired in the system. Also, water pressure reducing valves should be selected based on the flow and pressure ranges listed in the literature, not the size of the pipe to which they will be attached.

-
Not wasting it makes for real savings, but do you know that 30% of water used in a house is heated. Less pressure means less water used, and therefore less energy consumed. Through its low load losses, the WATTS INDUSTRIES pressure reducing valves allow the obtaining of a normal flow rate. when water in drawn in several places simultaneously.

Hydrogen Bonding in Water (1)
Liquid water consists of a mixture of short, straight [2405] and strong hydrogen bonds and long, weak and bent hydrogen bonds with many intermediate between these extremes. Short hydrogen bonds in water are strongly correlated with them being straighter [1083].


Why are Hydrogen Bonds Weak?
Although they are weak bonds, they are very important in the biological system. Hydrogen bonds between water and other molecules determine the vital and unique attributes of water. It is also very essential to keeping the secondary structure of proteins and nucleic acids stabilized.

Antinuclear Antibody Test (ANA)
The ANA test was designed by Dr. George Friou in 1957. The ANA test is performed using a blood sample. An ANA test is performed by testing the blood in the laboratory. The antibodies in the serum of the blood are exposed in the laboratory to cells. It is then determined whether or not antibodies are present that react to various parts of the nucleus of cells.


Lab tests for lupus
Lab work alone usually cannot diagnose lupus. Signs and symptoms of the disease are also important. When a positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is accompanied by several other clues that doctors look for in diagnosing lupus, it is often a strong indication for doctors to consider lupus.


Antinuclear Antibody Panel (ANA Test)
If your ANA test comes back positive, your doctor will need to run more tests in order to help determine if the results are related to a specific condition. The ANA test is especially helpful in diagnosing lupus.


Lab tests for lupus
Many of these antibodies are found in a panel or group of tests that are ordered at the same time. The test you will hear about most is called the antinuclear antibodies test, referred to as the ANA test. Antinuclear antibodies connect or bind to the nucleus or command center of the cell. This process damages and can destroy the cells.

Antinuclear Antibody Test (ANA)
The ANA test is a sensitive screening test used to detect autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases feature a misdirected immune system, and each of them has characteristic clinical manifestations that are used to make the precise diagnosis. The interpretation or identification of a positive ANA test does not make a diagnosis.


Antinuclear Antibody Panel (ANA Test)
However, other tests may still be needed based on your symptoms. Some people with autoimmune diseases may test negative for ANA but positive for other antibodies. A positive ANA test means that you have high levels of ANA in your blood. A positive ANA test is usually reported as both a ratio (called a titer) and a pattern, such as smooth or speckled.

According to myFICO.com, 96% of consumers with a credit score of 800 pay credit accounts on time; 68% of those with a score of 650 have accounts past due.

How FICO scores stack up. But there are several commonly used credit scores, not just FICO. The increasingly used VantageScore also employs a 300-850 scoring range, as do most other credit scores. âGoodâ or âexcellentâ scores depend on what an individual lender decides, but in general 720 and up is considered excellent. The average VantageScore in 2016 was 673, according to credit reporting agency Experian.


Credit Score Ranges: How Do You Compare?
Most FICO scores range from 300 to 850, and the higher the score, the better. (Some versions of the FICO score, such as those for the auto and credit card industries, are on a 250 to 900 scale.) Each lender sets its own standards for what constitutes a âgoodâ FICO score.
