How to Seal Crumbling Interior Bricks
Unfortunately, it can also coat your floors, furniture and clothing with a layer of gritty dust. Sealing is usually the first course of action to help stabilize a crumbling interior brick wall that is otherwise in good condition.There are many different kinds of masonry sealers on the market, but those that leave a protective film are preferred for controlling dust and grit.. Remove loose mortar and brick, using a stiff brush with plastic or copper bristles. Avoid steel-wire brushes that can leave black marks on the masonry. Examine the brick closely as you work for signs of severe deterioration or mortar that recedes more than 1/2 inch from the face of the brick.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy used for high-risk, tough-to-treat patients. The term dialectical comes from the idea that bringing together two opposites in therapy -- acceptance and change -- brings better results than either one alone.

7 Things You Didnât Know About Stevia
Stevia is actually a plant. The sugar substitute is extracted from the stevia plant. A species called Stevia rebaudiana is naturally grown in Brazil and Paraguay, where it has been used for hundreds of years to sweeten foods and treat burns and stomach discomfort, LiveScience reports.


-
The process of isolating the sweet tasting steviol glycosides from the leaves of the stevia plant is similar to âsteepingâ tea leaves. Steviol glycosides are approved for use in countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Paraguay.


-
Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) is a South American plant native to Paraguay that traditionally has been used to sweeten beverages and make tea. The word âsteviaâ refers to the entire plant and its components, only some of which are sweet. The sweet tasting components of the stevia plant are called steviol glycosides.


7 Things You Didnât Know About Stevia
7 Things You Didn't Know About Stevia. As you probably know from the very particular way you take your coffee, not all sweeteners are created equal. The market is booming with sugar substitutes: From saccharin-sweetened Sweet'N Low to aspartame-sweetened Equal, there are plenty of ways to make your cup of joe a bit less bitter.


What Is Stevia?
Those cheery, yellow mum plants you find in your supermarket each fall have a cousin over in the sweetener aisle. Itâs a sugar substitute called stevia. Stevia is about 100 to 300 times sweeter than sugar, but has no carbohydrates, calories, or artificial ingredients. Not everyone likes the way it tastes. Some people find it bitter, but others think stevia tastes like menthol. Try it in your morning coffee or sprinkled over your oatmeal to see if you like the taste.


What Is Stevia?
Look for stevia in powder or liquid form in supermarkets and health-food stores. Youâre likely to find it on the baking goods aisle or in the health food aisle. You may even get your sweet caffeine fix without calories or artificial sweeteners.


7 Things You Didnât Know About Stevia
A packet of Truvia, a popular stevia brand, contains erythritol, a sugar alcohol, and natural flavors, along with the stevia leaf extract. Pyure, another stevia product, contains dextrose, a starch-derived glucose which is often extracted from corn, wheat or rice. Stevia is a lot sweeter than sugar.


7 Things You Didnât Know About Stevia
Stevia can be purchased in liquid and powdered concentrates. The sweetener comes in drops, like the vanilla extract you use in baking, a fine powder that is less grainy than table sugar and a granulated sugar-comparable form, too.


Sensibly Sweet: Incorporating Stevia Into a Healthful Lifestyle
Stevia and steviol glycosides have a long history of use in several countries, including Japan and Paraguay. Stevia sweeteners are approved for use in many other countries, including Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, China, Russia, Australia, Argentina, New Zealand, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Brazil and Malaysia.

Mucinex DM is a cough medicine that contains dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, and guaifenesin, an expectorant that helps loosen mucus in your throat and lungs.


-
How to use Mucinex DM oral. This combination medication is used to relieve coughs caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and other breathing illnesses. Guaifenesin belongs to a class of drugs known as expectorants. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making breathing easier.


-
Mucinex DM relieves coughing caused by the common cold, bronchitis and allergies. It contains the expectorant guaifenesin, which loosens mucus in the lungs and airways, allowing coughs to be productive. It also contains dextromethorphan, which affects the brain by suppressing the urge to cough.

Myocardial Infarction
(See Criteria for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, section on 'Third universal definition of MI'.) Clinical evidence of myocardial ischemia is necessary because serum/plasma troponin elevations may reflect myocardial injury that is not necessarily due to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).


Can Troponin Level Be Normal After Heart Attack?
CPK is an enzyme found in the heart. âThe levels usually rise within six hours of presentation and can remain elevated for 1-2 weeks following an event.â. If you go to the emergency room complaining of chest pain or âshortness of breath,â a doctor will order a test to check the level of troponins.


-
Patients with elevated troponin I levels were found to have significantly higher creatinine levels (average ranks for creatinine 100.7 versus 72.9, P = 0.002 in the 2 groups) and significantly lower HCO3 levels (average ranks for HCO3 75.3 versus 97.1, P = 0.012) than patients without elevated troponin I levels.


-
Troponin I, a sensitive and specific marker of myocardial injury, may be elevated in patients with sepsis and acute stroke without underlying acute coronary syndrome, indicating unrecognized cardiac injury in these settings.


-
Increased blood concentrations of troponin can also be seen in a variety of other diseases, such as sepsis, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, myocarditis, myocardial contusion, and renal failure.


Can Troponin Level Be Normal After Heart Attack?
Can Troponin Level Be Normal After Heart Attack? A myocardial infarction is a heart attack. Troponins âleakâ from damaged heart tissue and make their way to the bloodstream. Normally in the absence of a heart attack the levels are very low. A heart attack will substantially spike the levels.


-
Elevated troponin levels are associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Measurement of troponin I levels may be helpful in patients with acute liver failure, to detect unrecognized myocardial damage and as a marker of unfavorable outcome.


Can Troponin Elevation Mean Something Other than Heart Attack?
Troponin is a protein enzyme that leaks from the heart when this muscle is damaged. If the test result is elevated (in a range that indicates damage to heart tissue), this can mean that the patient had a heart attack very recently. However, elevated troponin doesnât always mean cardiac damage.

Those phases like service strategy, all the way through service operation, of course, we have continual service improvement. But that was really, really a powerful update to the ITIL model. Of course, the most recent is what we call the ITIL 2011, which is what we're talking about here in this course. A process based framework is the foundation for what's called ISO 20,000. Now ISO 20,000 is a standard.


-
ITIL version two, again, very process focused. It was condensed down from the previous 50 books that we had in version one. You've probably heard of what was called ITIL version three, well, ITIL 2007 is the official term for this, and this was a major departure from the version two.


-
Over the years, the ITIL's credibility and utility became recognized, until now its practices have contributed to and are aligned with the ISO/IEC 20000 Service Management standard, the first international standard for IT service management; it is based on British standard BS15000.


ITIL certification guide: Mastering IT services management
The IT Infrastructure Library, or ITIL, is just that: a library of volumes describing a framework of best practices for delivering IT services.


-
ITIL is a framework of best practices for delivering IT services. What's the big deal about it, and why is it considered so important in corporate computing? We explain the basics before you hunker down with the books.


ITIL
It is used to demonstrate compliance and to measure improvement. Since July 2013, ITIL has been owned by AXELOS, a joint venture between Capita and the Cabinet Office. AXELOS licenses organisations to use the ITIL intellectual property, accredits licensed examination institutes, and manages updates to the framework.


-
So let's talk about the framework, and kind of the history of how we came up with this ITIL stuff. So now when we look at this, the ITIL framework is this set of books. And it really kind of started out back in the late 80s, early 90s with what was called ITIL version one. Now version one literally was a set of 50 books.

History Chapter 15
Freedmen's Bureau settled 10,000 black families onto their own land in 1865 but the effort overall failed because the government returned the land to the white owners. Whites had major decline of land ownership postwar 80%-67% by the end of reconstruction and blacks gained land 0%-20%.


Southern strategy
During the Reconstruction era, 1863â1877, the Republican Party built up its base across the South, and for a while had control in each state except Virginia. From a national perspective, however, the Republican Party always gave priority to its much better established northern state operations.


Southern strategy
Scholars generally emphasize the role of racial backlash in the realignment of southern voters. The viewpoint that the electoral realignment of the Republican party due to a race-driven Southern Strategy is also known as the top-down viewpoint.


History Chapter 15
Conservatives: that South should ratify the 13th amendment, but not much else to be readmitted. Radical: that they not just ratify the 13th amendment, but that the Union troops remain in the South to impose new rules.


Southern strategy
The perception that the Republican Party had served as the vehicle of white supremacy in the South, particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win the support of black voters in the South in later years.


Radical Republican
Radical Republican, during and after the American Civil War, a member of the Republican Party committed to emancipation of the slaves and later to the equal treatment and enfranchisement of the freed blacks. zoom_in.


History Chapter 15
He was originally a democrat. He was openly hostile about the issues of slaves, and did not support any bills aiding them or providing them with civil rights. He was a self made man. His plan basically agreed with the Wade Davis bill. He was not the type of man to go easy on the south, such as Lincoln was.

In American politics, southern strategy refers to methods the Republican Party used to gain political support in the South by appealing to the racism against African Americans harbored by many southern white voters.


History Chapter 15
The Freedmen's Bureau was established that helped blacks by giving them money and by helping provide education for the blacks. The 14th and 15th amendment were there to try to help them secure rights. In addition the Reconstruction governments allowed them to hold offices and vote.


Southern strategy
In academia, southern strategy refers primarily to top down narratives of the political realignment of the South, which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white southerners' racial resentments in order to gain their support.

Is White Supremacy a Mental Disorder?
But Rockâs description of âcrazyâ whites and not-so-crazy whites is both accurate and not quite kosher in its dirty details. White supremacy is not merely a âmentalâ disorder. It is that, to be sure. Something has to be mentally awry among people who take obvious pleasure from the infliction of harm on black people. This is more than a socially twisted, perverted worldview. White supremacy is also a mental disorder that robs its adherents of the ability to empathize with those whom it deems less than fully human. This social and mental disorder is most fully manifested in an anti-blackness and in a white supremacist system which not only defends but encourages modern killer cops and vigilantes, just as it did their lynch mob predecessors not so very long ago.


Debate: Should White Supremacy Be Considered a Mental Illness?
Debate: Should White Supremacy Be Considered a Mental Illness? By Anna Nti-Asare You know those times when you're thinking very deeply about something and you come up with a brilliant idea that is so revolutionary, so unique, so groundbreaking it makes you believe you're the first to have ever thought it?


Racism Is Not A Mental Illness
Men like this, said Stone, are susceptible to white supremacist ideology because it has the ability to â[reverse] a feeling of worthlessness and inadequacy. Historically, white supremacy has been attractive to disenfranchised white men, explained Stone, because it gives their suffering meaning and it gives them a cause to rally around.


Is White Supremacy a Mental Disorder?
As a sociopathy, white supremacy is passed from generation to generation in the same sense that genes are passed from one generation to the next. To be sure, white supremacy need not be actively taught to young white children.


Is White Supremacy a Mental Disorder?
Among whites, acceptance, perpetuation, and especially denial of white supremacy, are of a piece â a mental defense mechanism. White supremacy is a means of coping with an ongoing âcognitive dissonance.â


Racism Is Not A Mental Illness
Racism isn't a mental illness, but the psychological, emotional and physical effects on those who experience it are very real. And Iâm exhausted. This story has been updated with comments from Stone and Dietz.


White supremacy mental disorder
White Supremacy should be viewed as a severe mental disorder, a psychotic state that results in a total distortion of reality. White Supremacy disorder produces individuals who demonstrate an arrogant andpretentious sense of self-importance and have problems getting along with others, who they devalue.


Racism Is Not A Mental Illness
Racism is not a mental illness. Unlike actual mental illnesses, it is taught and instilled. Mental illness was not the state policy of South Carolina, or any state for that matter, for hundreds of years -- racism was. Assuming actions grounded in racial biases are irrational not only neutralizes their impact, it also paints the perpetrator as a victim. Black people, on the other hand, do suffer actual mental health issues due to racism.


White supremacy mental disorder
The five officers who fired their guns included two Blacks, two Whites and one Hispanic, the media, the justice system and the educational systems and all the racist institutions that impact on our lives, all are obviously suffering from White Supremacy Mental Disorders and/or are under White Supremacy domination.


White supremacy mental disorder
Movies like Apocalypto and Blood Diamond depict Black people as savages who kill their members of their own race; while Rocky, Superman and Spiderman provide White people with fantasy heroes. White Supremacy Disorder should be classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental illness. But, it wonât, because the same people who practice White Supremacy write the manual. News


Combined Knitting Tutorial
For the purl stitch in Combined knitting, the key is in the yarn wrap. You wrap the yarn clockwise, so it goes under the right-hand needle and comes up between the two needles. This produces the stitch orientation that will lead the Combined knitter into knitting into the back loop.


-

In addition water is important to human health for many reasons including but not limited to the following: â¢ Water is needed to separate (by a process called hydrolysis) a phosphate group from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or guanosine triphosphate (GTP) to get energy as illustrated by the following equations.


Why is water important for life ?
Water has important roles and functions in chemistry, biochemistry and biology due to its diverse properties (that is, the way it behaves). Chemicals can be described in terms of two types of properties: 1  Physical Properties-e.g. thermal properties. 2  Chemical Properties-incl. 3  reactions with other substances.


The Biological Importance of Water
Cohesion is when water molecules are attracted to other. water molecules. Water can also be attracted to other materials, which. is called adhesion. The oxygen in water has a negative charge and the hydrogen has a. positive charge. The hydrogen in one water molecule is attracted to. the oxygen from other water molecules.


Why is water important for life ?
5. The thermal properties of water are well-suited to support life. Water has a high specific heat. The specific heat of a substance is the quantity of heat per unit mass needed to increase the temperature of the substance by one degree Celsius.


-
Unlike vitamin deficiencies which can take weeks to make someone ill, a water deficiency can kill in days or even hours. Water is also very important for removing toxins from the human body. The body has four major ways of removing toxins which are: Bowels Urination Perspiration Processing of toxins by the liver.


Why is water important for life ?
The following table lists some of the characteristics of water that explain why water is important for life and for animal biology (including human biology) in particular. The following are listed in no particular order but are numbered for ease of reference: 1.


The Biological Importance of Water
Water's properties make it an important factor in the transfer of heat. and the regulation of temperature in the body. Because water has a. high specific heat it is ideally suited as a temperature buffering. system for the body. Animals need a continuous supply of water for maximum efficiency.


Why is water important for life ?
Some ions and molecules in biological organisms also need to be able to move through tissues, and membranes e.g. cell membranes. They move by the processes of diffusion, osmosis and active transport-of which osmosis is the diffusion of water, an important process in living organisms. 3.

San Francisco  (1936 film)
The film ends with a dissolve from the smoldering ruins into the modern San Francisco of the mid-1930s. (When the film is shown near April 18 by Bay Area television stations, the scenes of the 1930s city are replaced with stock news footage of the city in the modern era.)


San Francisco  (1936 film)
The original release features a stylish montage of then-current (1936) scenes of a bustling San Francisco, including Market Street and the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. When the film was re-released in 1948, it was thought these scenes were dated and the film fades out on a single long shot of the modern business district.

Star Wars 7: Now We Know How Darth Vader Factors In
Star Wars 7: Now We Know How Darth Vader Factors In. Take a moment to breathe, as you're probably as psyched as we are that Star Wars: The Force Awakens has released it's final, fabulous trailer into our loving arms. It was all at once a brief window into the new film's plot, and a treasure trove of information for those hungry for knowledge.


Darth Vader
In James Luceno's Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (2005), set a few months after the events of Revenge of the Sith, Vader disavows his identity as Anakin Skywalker as he systematically pursues and kills the surviving Jedi and cements his position in the Empire.


Star Wars 7: Now We Know How Darth Vader Factors In
From the sounds of it, Kylo Ren is the ultimate Darth Vader fanboy that the rumors have been painting him to be, and judging by the fact that Starkiller Base exists, we're going to assume that he's not the only one.


Darth Vader
Darth Vader is a character from the Star Wars universe. He appears for the first time in A New Hope. Vader is the main character of the Dark Side of the Star Wars series. He appears as a 2 meter-tall man dressed in black armor and a cape. His face is covered with a mask, which has a helmet on top.


Star Wars 7: Now We Know How Darth Vader Factors In
In fact, the formation of The First Order is probably centered around Vader as a sort of deity/legendary figure to those who follow it. Keep in mind, the history of Return Of The Jedi is now 30 years past, and Han Solo spoke of the fight between the Dark Side and the Light as if Rey thought they were mere rumor.


Darth Vader
In Return of the Jedi, Vader and the Emperor are supervising the second Death Star's construction. Unknown to Vader, the Emperor intends to replace him with Luke as his apprentice. Believing that there is still good in his father, Luke surrenders to Vader, who brings him to the Emperor onboard the Death Star.


Star Wars 7: Now We Know How Darth Vader Factors In
Most of all, it finally gave us our biggest clue into how Darth Vader will factor into the plot. During the events of the trailer, we see Kylo Ren on the bridge of what's, presumably, Starkiller Base â if not, one of the new Star Destroyers that are currently docked there.


Skywalker family
From Wikipedia: Shmi Skywalker is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, portrayed by Pernilla August. She appears in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. She is the mother of Anakin Skywalker and paternal grandmother to Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. Her first name is derived from Lakshmi, a Hindu goddess.


Top Ten Star Wars Characters
Darth Vader, also known as Anakin Skywalker, is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. Vader appears in the original trilogy as a pivotal figure whose actions drive the plot of the first three films while his past as Anakin Skywalker, and the story of his corruption, is central to the prequel trilogy.


Slip, Slide, & Collide
Convergent Boundaries â Colliding Plates. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide with each other. The events that occur at these boundaries are linked to the types of plates â oceanic or continental â that are interacting. At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate.


Why are oceanic plates denser than continental plates?
Best Answer: It all has to do with the composition of the plates. Continental plates are made of mostly granite, while Oceanic plates are made of mostly basalt. Basalt is denser than granite, so oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. Hope it helps!! Because the Earth acts as a giant iron smelter. The continental crust is the glassy slag floating on top of the less differentiated oceanic crust, which in its turn floats on the even less differentiated mantle.


Why are oceanic plates denser than continental plates?
Continental plates are made of mostly granite, while Oceanic plates are made of mostly basalt. Basalt is denser than granite, so oceanic plates are denser than continental plates. For more info, read this: http://scign.jpl.nasa.gov/learn/plate3.htm.


Plate tectonics
As a result of this density stratification, oceanic crust generally lies below sea level (for example most of the Pacific Plate), while continental crust buoyantly projects above sea level (see the page isostasy for explanation of this principle).
