When Thomas Newcomen invented the first practical steam engine in 1712 and James Watt patented his improved version in 1769, the world was astonished that it was even possible to transform heat into motion. This is understandable, given that there was no precise definition of energy at the time.
The history of technology teaches us that the development of a theory of thermodynamics and hence a common understanding of energy went hand in hand with the increasing use of engines to generate power. It was finally technically possible (and, in due course, theoretically comprehensible) to convert one form of energy into another on a massive scale.
The invention of the steam engine is not the only factor that led to the industrial revolution in England. Other reasons include the increasing accumulation of capital, the availability of plentiful raw materials, and a growing labor force resulting from the mass migration of impoverished farm workers to the new factories. Britain enjoyed special political privileges as a colonial power, enabling it to tap new sales markets overseas through its imperial policies, which increased demand for products such as textiles. The mechanization of agriculture and manufacturing processes, not to mention transport (the motor car), led in turn to the well-known economic, social, cultural, and political consequences of the industrial revolution.
One small detail that is often overlooked in this historical analysis is that in 1788, James Watt also invented the centrifugal governor, which he integrated into a later version of his steam engine to keep it operating at a constant speed. This could be regarded as the birth of automation, because these mechanical controls enabled the machine to operate regularly. It effectively broke the link between the machine's running time and the human operator's working time, because the need for someone to supervise the machine was replaced, at least to some extent, by a mechanism to keep it running at a preset rate.
Make no mistake about it: this governor was an early example of a small information-processing machine – albeit analog and mechanical.
In time, governors and other control systems were built using electrical components, and finally using electronic circuits. Analog signal processing merged with digital computing, and programmable machines emerged as the successors to electromechanical computers.
These programs are based on specific algorithms, which are in turn based on a mathematical model of the process the program is intended to control. The basic principle of control systems hasn't changed at all since then, but the technology used to implement them has. Another change is that we now use such systems to control organizational and technical processes at the same time, an approach that can be extended to cover entire value chains.
The most complex solutions currently envisioned are smart, model-based, self-regulating systems that control an entire process chain – from product design and manufacture to end-of-life disposal. They also support communication and service functions and can be used in the power grid to balance supply and demand, especially in connection with volatile renewable energy sources.
Autonomous systems
Today, we use the term "autonomous systems" to refer to all kinds of highly automated structures, robots, industrial plants, self-driving cars, connected household appliances, and even autonomous weapons systems. These are controlled in principle by extremely complex, intermeshed data processing networks; yet strictly speaking, they are all still controls or governors, as they derive their target values from past measurements. They learn from their own experience, i.e. from a mathematical analysis of collected measurement data, or in other words their recorded system history. This development is more than just an evolutionary process in which performance increases with each new generation of technology – it's more a case of automating automation.
Digitalization isn't limited to technology
Technological change affects our organizational structures and the way we manage our resources. On the other hand, our social, legal and economic infrastructures have a certain impact on technological developments.
Many aspects of our social lives, political processes, and business activities are already controlled by algorithms. Despite their alleged capacity for learning from experience, and their ability to draw actionable conclusions from an analysis of previously collected data, the fact remains that they are written by humans. Algorithm designers deliberately gave them the ability to learn so they could relieve us of routine chores, while remaining within a set range of parameters.
The designers created models of the processes to be controlled by these algorithms, including business models. These algorithms could even be described as the ultimate incarnation of theories of business management and organization, just as algorithms used in a technical context need to reflect functional theories if they are to be effective. As a result, these theories have a huge impact on the way processes are implemented in the real world and the way we conduct our lives. But theories can go only so far.
This gives rise to two more questions, namely, whether such systematic processes are reversible, and who has the power to shape the outcome. Because it's no longer a question of whether autonomous systems are "doable" in the long or short term. The more important point is whether we really want this, and if so, what types of systems, their degree of autonomy, and how we foresee their functionality and usefulness. This is the design challenge.
Fears of a revolution won't be calmed by facile statements of appeasement. And it doesn't help that Industry 4.0 is described by insiders using warlike terms.
A better approach would be to describe digitalization as a process of social renewal that offers immense scope for positive change. This gives us the liberty to try out many different solutions, in the assurance that nothing is fixed and, as in science, most processes are reversible; the people who write the algorithms live in the real world and can design functionalities to match almost any situation.
Just as scientific theories are not immutable and last only until they are proven wrong, technology and the algorithms used to control and manage organizational processes are right only until failures prove otherwise. What we need is a well-balanced combination of courage and modesty to attack the hard challenge of implementing a digital transformation that will also transform society.
Reversibility is one thing, but shaping tomorrow's technology also requires a willingness to accept other participants, i.e. co-determination. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as the saying goes, but not if their skills improve the recipe. Obviously, the desired functionality of high-tech systems must be co-determined by the business partners, down to the component level. Such participation is even an indispensable part of the business model.
For some time, attempts have been made to include prospective customers in discussions about the desired functionality of products, using diverse formats such as living labs, participatory design workshops, seminars, platforms, forum discussions, and projects. Whatever the format, the goal is to gain acceptance of certain solutions or provide future users with experience of products requiring sustainable behavior changes, for example. But this can hardly be described as co-development, not least because the skill levels are too disparate.
Nonetheless these formats – even though they are not as well developed as might be desired – provide an avenue for communicating results, giving advice on behavior change, and communicating experts' and users' views to the manufacturer.
Involvement and communication on all conceivable levels – especially among partners, customers and employees – creates a feeling of being a part of things. This emotional attachment will grow in importance as the technologies that determine the world we live in grow in complexity. And so, from this viewpoint too, there is no alternative to becoming actors in the digital transformation. It is both a revolution and a design challenge.
This article is a shortened extract from Klaus Kornwachs essay, which was published completely with the title "Digital transformation – Revolution or design challenge?" in the TRUMPF annual report 2016/17.

A Pen Drive Accidentally Swallowed By A 5-Year-Old Boy Removed Endoscopically, there by avoiding major surgery
Dr. Rajdeep More
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 6: In a stomach-churning incident, Dr. Rajdeep More, Consultant Gastroenterologist in Thane (West) successfully performed an endoscopic procedure on a 5-year-old boy who had accidentally swallowed a pen drive. The patient is discharged from the hospital and has resumed his daily routine with ease.
Master Akshat Upadhyay, a resident of Thane West accidentally swallowed a pen drive at 9 am on 20th January 2023. He suddenly complained of mild abdominal pain. His parents quickly brought him to the emergency room wherein he was immediately attended to by Dr. Rajdeep More.
Dr. Rajdeep More, the Consultant Gastroenterologist, said, "On arrival in an emergency, the patient has mild abdominal pain and looked fairly well settled. An erect X-ray of the abdomen showed the pen drive to be lodged in the stomach.
We anticipated that if an early endoscopic removal of the foreign body (pen drive) was not done, it would require major surgery to retrieve the foreign body later on.
After explaining and reassuring the patient's parents, the boy was taken up for an emergency endoscopy under general anesthesia.
On endoscopic examination, The pen drive was seen to be lodged in the upper part of the stomach just below the food pipe(esophagus). The pediatric patient was later given general anesthesia to perform the endoscopy procedure to remove that pen drive out by grasping it with an endoscopic device called a snare. The pen drive was grasped with a snare and removed through the mouth. The procedure time was 20 minutes and patiently tolerated the procedure well with no post-operative complications.
He was kept under observation in the hospital for 24 hours and got discharged the following day in a healthy state without any symptoms or complications.
Not treating the patient at the right time could have led to complications like intestinal obstruction, perforation, and profuse vomiting, eventually warranting emergency surgery.
We were very scared at first and didn't know what to do. We then rushed to Dr. Rajdeep More, Gastroenterologist in Thane (West) who explained everything about the procedure before performing it. The surgery was a success and they took good care of our child. Now he is fine, symptom and complication-free. We thank the doctor for saving my son's life," concluded Master Akshat Upadhyay patient.
If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification[at]gmail.com to notify us. We will respond and rectify the situation in the next 24 hours.

Tutor MUST have a good command of the English language
The Rubric must be followed, and all the requirements met
This is a thorough professor, and she has strict requirements
I have attached the PICOT and the first 10 points (DNP 815) assignment. This is a continuation of that assignment. Please read the attachments
The following needs to be addressed:
Please note the followings: The introduction and the literature review are complete and thorough. The problem statement is written clearly PICOT is clear and very good Sample:
· How will you determine the sample size?
· What are the inclusion/exclusion criteria of the subjects? Methodology: Why is the selected methodology is appropriate? Please justify!
· Data collection approach needs to be clear. How will you collect your data? What is needed here is to describe the process of collecting data form signing the informed consent until completing the measuring.
· Data analysis-What test will you use to answer your research question?
Clinical/PICOT Questions:
"In adult patients with CVC at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, does interventional staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN's who access the CVC impact CLABSI rates compared to standard care over a one-month period?"
P: Patients with Central Venous Catheters
I: Staff re-education related to Hygiene of the hub
C: Other hospitals
O: Reduce probability of CLABSIs
T: Two months
"In Patients > 65 years of age with central line catheters at a Clear Lake Regional Medical Center, how does staff training of key personnel and reinforcement of central line catheter hub hygiene after its insertion, along with the apt cleansing of the insertion site, before every approach compared with other area hospitals, reduce the incidence of CLABSIs (Central Line Associated Blood-stream Infections) over a one-month period?"
P: Patients > 65 years of age with a Central line
I: Staff training and reinforcement of Central Catheter, Hub Hygiene
C: Other area hospitals
O: Reduce probability of CLABSIs
"In adult patients, with define CVC (CVC), does interventional staff education about hub hygiene provided to RN's who access the CVC impact CLABSI rates compared to pre and post-intervention assessments
1. I used central Missouri as an example, replace with a description of your site.
2. While you might be interested in CLASBI rates as a primary variable, there are other patient outcomes that would also be important to consider
3. Ensure you can find validity and reliability measures on CLASBI rates if you cannot, we need to determine another question to help
4. How are your two comparison groups different, as they are currently stated the groups seem very much the same, could you state, standard care instead of pre and post intervention assessments?
5. One month is the longest time you can use for a prospective project
Please note the following regarding the instructors grading
As you prepare for written papers and manuscripts I'd like to give you some details about my grading style. I provide significant feedback on your papers, this is because I believe you should be working towards improving your writing so that at the end of this program you are able to successfully write your DPI project. In order to write well, you need feedback and you need to review that feedback and make progress on the next written work. To that end I always grade accordingly. This means that if I provide feedback one an item (for example APA format of your reference page) I expect that this will be improved on the next written submission. Otherwise I will deduct additional points. In addition, some other criteria to get down pat now. References should always
1. Be current, no older than 5 years that means 5 years from your proposed graduation date (2014-2019). Otherwise you will have to redo everything in DNP 955.
2. Be primary sources. You can no longer cite Young declared literary war in 1956 (as cited by Brown 2006). You must cite Young 1956. That means go find that paper and read it and make sure that you agree with what Brown said. What if you don't agree due to some very valid points? Then the literary war is not what occurred, but instead you have concerns regarding point ____, ____, and ____.
3. You may no longer cite textbooks, they are 1) secondary sources and 2) not current enough, and please use peer reviewed manuscripts.
One more item that is not a reference. You may not use direct quotes any longer. There is no need. This may be difficult at first, but you are moving towards a different type of writing. This is manuscript writing (scientific writing). Scientific writing is terse, clear, and concise. No frilly words. In order to avoid the use of direct quotes you will synthesize the literature. There is a great resource for synthesizing the literature under Resources – Add-ons. These are also some other great writing resources there.
In the prospectus, proposal, and scholarly project there are 10 strategic points that need to be clear, simple, correct, and aligned to ensure the research is doable, valuable, and credible. The 10 strategic points emerge from researching literature on a topic that is based on or aligned with the learner's personal passion, future career purpose, and degree area. These 10 points provide a guiding vision for DPI Project. In this assignment, you will continue the work begun in DNP-815, working on your draft of a document addressing the 10 key strategic points that define your intended research focus and approach.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
- Locate the "The 10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and Direct Practice Improvement Project" that you completed in DNP-815.
- Doctoral learners are required to use APA style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
- This assignment uses a rubric. Please Review the rubric prior to the beginning to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
- You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.
Use the "The 10 Strategic Points for the Prospectus, Proposal, and Direct Practice Improvement Project" resource to draft statements for each of the 10 points for your intended research study.
You worked on this last in DNP 815. Pick up from where you left off (if you transferred in and did not complete this, you will have to begin fresh). Please include a copy of your last instructor feedback when you submit this assignment. You can either copy and paste the instructor feedback into your current paper (as an appendix and clearly marked); or upload two separate papers. I expect significant improvement from your last submission.
Please review the 10 Strategic Points document for additional instructions and an example. Add references to this document, I suggest 5-10 at this point. You need to realize that your literature review chapter will need at least 50+ articles by the time you get to DNP 955, so work on expanding your literature search each week, to include more and more to this paper as you move through each course. If you cannot locate 50+ articles you can ask your faculty for assistance or chose a different topic.
For the methodology and design sections. Methodology should cover the broad methods you plan to use (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods). The design portion will then go into more detail and discuss the design (i.e. correlational, cross-sectional, pre/posttest, etc.). Describe each and explain why your chosen methodology and design are appropriate to your topic and project questions. You may NOT use qualitative, GCU leadership does not support a qualitative methodology.
Intervention. You must have an intervention that you implement. Since you cannot evaluate a project that has already been implemented, please write up a description of your intervention and what your role will be in implementing this intervention. This is not a section listed on your 10 Strategic Points document as of yet, so add it after the methodology and design sections. Describe step by step what the intervention consists of, how it is evidence based, how you will implement, and your role in implementation.
Data collection should go step by step (extremely over-detailed) on how you will collect the data. Tell me about all instruments, surveys, and/or questions you will ask of participants. One MUST be a valid and reliable tool.
Data Analysis. Tell me the specific statistics you will use. Start with descriptive statistics, which ones will you use, why (cite current primary sources). Then tell me how you will compare your data (which statistic), what your p value will be before you start your data collection.

Consider the Adult & Teen Challenge program—a Low Cost, Christian Rehab Alternative
About Heroin:
Heroin is perhaps the most well-known opiate. It can be injected, inhaled, or smoked, and it is world-famous for its intense addictive properties and its lethal potential. Heroin addicts experience a huge range of negative effects that impact their entire lives and can lead ultimately to death by overdose or other complications.
Heroin Addiction History and Prevalence
Heroin is part of a family of drugs called opiates. Opiates have powerful effects, primarily acting by reducing pain and producing a sense of euphoria. This family of drugs includes opium, codeine, and morphine, all of which have similar properties and are used for limited medical purposes. The first major wave of heroin use in the United States occurred after World War II, through the 1940s and '50s. The second epidemic struck around the time of the Vietnam War and ended in the late 1970s.
Just about every 30 years, the United States experiences a boom in heroin use. Since the American public was introduced to the drug in the '40s, it has remained more or less a constant presence in the American illicit drug market. The prevalence of heroin use over the last decade has gone off the charts. In 2002, just 1 in 1,000 people battled heroin addiction. By 2013, that number had doubled. In addition to skyrocketing numbers of heroin abuse, lethal overdoses currently reached an all-time high, demonstrating the extremely lethal implications of heroin use.
Heroin is another addiction which, perhaps surprisingly, does not tend to discriminate based on typical demographics. That having been said, most at-risk populations tend to be non-Hispanic white males between the ages of 18 and 25 who are living in large metropolitan areas. This is a large shift in the historic demographic of heroin users. Historically, black males in their 40's and 50's were at the greatest risk for heroin use and resultant complications, but data suggests that heroin abuse among non-whites is decreasing, while the presence of the drug increases in white suburban communities.
Many experts also attribute the resurgence of heroin to prescription drug addiction. Certain opioid pain medications like Vicodin or Oxycontin have highly addictive properties. Patients who are prescribed these drugs can easily become addicted and begin abusing them. When their prescription runs out or they find it difficult to acquire the quantities they need, they often turn to illicit street drugs like heroin, which are less expensive and easier to get. Nearly 50% of young people addicted to heroin report abusing prescription opioids before turning to heroin.
Outward Symptoms/Signs
Signs of heroin abuse are distinct and appear very early on in the timeline of addiction. Some physical symptoms to look for include:
Slurred speech
Constricted pupils
Lethargy, half-lidded eyes, falling asleep or "nodding off" without warning.
Nausea and vomiting
Loss of appetite and weight loss.
Instances of extreme euphoria or joyfulness.
The physical symptoms are highly noticeable, and the behavioral changes in an addict are equally obvious. More than other drugs, heroin will begin to affect an addict's wardrobe. The heroin addict will frequently prefer long-sleeved, baggy clothing which serves the purpose of concealing needle marks and abscesses while also hiding weight loss. They will also be likely to neglect personal hygiene, not bathing or brushing their teeth and wearing the same clothes for several days on end. Also, be alert to any general shiftiness on the part of a potential addict. They may lie frequently about their activities, steal money or possessions to fund their habit, or spend time with questionable people.
Typical Cost to Addict
While considered to be a cheaper alternative to prescription drugs, heroin addiction is by no means inexpensive. To make things worse, the price can skyrocket as the addict develops an increasing tolerance. Like many street drugs, it can be difficult to pinpoint how much a heroin addict may spend on their habit. Factors like the progression of the addiction, availability of the drug in any given area, and personal connections can all play a significant role. On average, however, a single dose of heroin costs about $20 and an addict with a relatively advanced habit can spend upwards of $200 a day on their addiction.
To further complicate things, a heroin addict can rarely stay employed, simply given the side effects of heroin. As a result, the instances of heroin addicts turning to a life of crime are extremely high. Heroin addicts are notorious for stealing just about anything they can get their hands on, turning stolen goods over to pawn shops and immediately buying heroin with the funds. Once this cycle begins it is only a matter of time before most addicts end up in jail or prison. Once in a criminal facility, addicts are unfortunately able to continue their addiction, as the presence of heroin and other illicit drugs within the criminal justice system is rampant. Thus, the cycle becomes extremely difficult to break, without any viable respite from heroin aside from dedicated facilities like rehabs.
Effect on the Addict
Heroin takes an awful toll on the health of an addicted person. While injection is the most dangerous means of taking the drug, all mechanisms of heroin use have short- and long-term risks which range from severe to lethal.
Intravenous heroin users will cause irreparable damage to their veins in short order. Repeated injection at the same sites will lead rapidly to collapsed veins and a variety of infections. These infections can create large abscesses on the skin's surface which can become life-threatening. The full scope of relatively minor, short-term effects include bad teeth, constipation, a weakened immune system, respiratory illnesses, muscular atrophy, reduced sexual capacity, menstrual disturbance, depression, and insomnia.
Naturally, the longer a heroin addict is active in their addiction, the worse the side effects become. Heroin addicts commonly share needles, which can lead to HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis-C. Both diseases are life-long illnesses which, left untreated, can kill the addict. Heroin addicts also run a high risk of contracting tuberculosis and arthritis, as a result of overall poor health and the drug's action on the body.
Heroin Addiction Permanence and Relapse
Heroin is, in many ways, the "benchmark" for addiction. It's considered by some to be the most addictive substance on Earth. The reasons for this seem to be primarily the psychological impact of a person's first use of the drug. Most users report a feeling of euphoria matched by nothing they have ever felt before, with the only side effect being a rapidly subsiding nausea. Users will continue to chase this first experience as long as they are physically able, in most cases.
Like many other addictive substances, repeated exposure to heroin can begin to permanently alter a person's brain chemistry. This results in long-term imbalances in neuronal and hormonal systems that can not be easily undone by simply abstaining from the drug for a time.
As a result, the rate of relapse among heroin addicts is extremely high, with early recovery posing the greatest threat to an addict's ongoing sobriety. Studies have shown that the relapse rate among addicts during the first 3 months of abstinence is as high as 90%8. Through the use of drugs like methadone or buprenorphine, some studies report a significantly lower rate of relapse at around 50%.
Heroin Addiction Detox
Heroin detox is extremely uncomfortable and painful. In fact, for many addicts, it is fear of this withdrawal which drives their addiction as much as any other factor. Unlike some other drugs, however, the risks of quitting heroin "cold-turkey" are relatively minor. The heroin addict will likely go through severe withdrawal symptoms for about a week, but can usually go through this experience in an outpatient setting unless they are coming off of multiple drugs simultaneously. Withdrawal symptoms for heroin typically include nausea, abdominal pain, depression, muscle spasms, intense craving, shaking, and sweating. These symptoms will typically begin between 6-12 hours after the last dose and go on for up to 10 days.
Medically monitored detox from heroin has come a long way in recent years. Researchers have discovered several drugs which can mitigate the pain of withdrawal and even act to reduce cravings. Commonly prescribed drugs for heroin withdrawal, including buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. These drugs act primarily by suppressing cravings, allowing the addict to complete the detox process without relapsing.
Physical/Mental Difficulty of Recovery
Heroin recovery is extremely difficult. The reasons for this are manifold but stem primarily from the extreme discomfort associated with the withdrawal and the intensity of a heroin high. For years after their first "high", heroin addicts can still recall, with startling clarity, their first euphoric heroin experience.
Recovery from heroin addiction, therefore, is a long and challenging process. In this time, they may need the assistance of maintenance therapy, i.e. medically supervised administration of drugs like Suboxone or methadone. They may also need therapy or 12-step assistance to work through many of the underlying psychological triggers or trauma which can lead to relapse if left untreated. Typically the highest rates of successful recovery from heroin are the result of a comprehensive plan put together by medical professionals and other recovered addicts.

Review: Great Cooler and Quattro Ports
Nvidia Geforce GTX 570 launched on December 7, 2010, and still holds the spot of Nvidia's second fastest single-GPU graphics card. Geforce GTX 570 cards are made for hardcore gamers - it packs a nice punch and is priced similarly to the Radeon HD 6970. Gainward offers several different Geforce GTX 570 versions but our today's test subject is the GTX 570 Golden Sample Edition.
Geforce GTX 570 is based on the GF110 GPU which can be found on the faster Geforce GTX 580 as well. By overclocking the Geforce GTX 570, users can get Geforce GTX 580 performance, but of course, overclocking does introduce other risks.
Nvidia strapped its reference Geforce GTX 570 cards with quality cooling that uses vapor chamber technology. However, Gainward decided to strap its GTX 570 Golden Sample with a special dual fan cooler.
So, the card runs at 750MHz for the GPU, 1500MHz for shaders and 3900MHz (effectively) for the memory. Just to remind you, reference clocks stand at 732MHz for the GPU, 1462MHz for shaders and 3800MHz for memory.
Geforce GTX 580 works at higher clocks – 772MHz GPU, 1544MHz shaders and 4000MHz memory. Furthermore, the Geforce GTX 580 has 512 shaders compared to 480 shaders on Geforce GTX 570. This tells us that the Geforce GTX 580 is faster than the Geforce GTX 570, but since Gainward overclocked its GTX 570 Golden Sample, we expect the performance difference to be at least lower than with reference Geforce GTX 570 cards. In any case, we'll try to overclock our GTX 570 Golden Sample further and attempt to top the Geforce GTX 580.

Male bettas are brightly-colored fish with large fins, and many pet stores market them as fish that can live in very small enclosures. Unfortunately this can significantly reduce their life expectancy. With proper care, however, bettas can live for several years. Male and female bettas have similar lifespans.
Average Life Expectancy
On average, bettas live about three years in captivity. However, they can live up to five years, and there have been a few instances of bettas living as long as seven years. The care your betta received before you purchased him may affect his life expectancy if he has been exposed to diseases and parasites. Sensitive husbandry, proper diet and prompt medical care when necessary can all increase your betta's life expectancy.
Factors Affecting Health
Water quality is the single most important factor determining your betta's health. Bettas need water that is room temperature or slightly above - usually about 73 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. When water is too cold, your fish is more susceptible to disease and may stop eating. Clean water free of chlorine will ensure that your betta is not susceptible to diseases and skin problems. Diet is also an important factor. Bettas can survive fine on fish flakes, but thrive when fed a variety of fresh, live foods such as brine shrimp or small feeder fish.
Causes of Death
When bettas die prematurely, poor husbandry is often to blame. Male bettas are especially susceptible to poor husbandry because they are much more likely to be sold in small containers and marketed as bowl fish. Females may be marketed as typical aquarium fish. Male bettas' large, fragile fins are more likely to become infected because of unclean water or rough handling. Bettas may be exposed to illnesses at pet stores or bred by unscrupulous breeders and born with genetic defects. Popeye, a disease that causes bulging eyes, is an infection that frequently kills bettas. While bacterial infections and viruses may cause popeye, the most common cause of this dangerous illness is dirty water.
Betta Health Care
It can be difficult to find competent veterinary care for fish. However, many cities have veterinarians trained in fish care, and the best way to ensure your betta lives a long life is to get him proper medical care when he show symptoms of disease such as bulging eyes, torn fins or changes in behavior. If a fish veterinarian is not available, fish specialty stores may be able to help you diagnose the cause of the disease. Many pet stores sell antibiotics for fish, but you should only use these products if you know your fish has an infection. The first line of defense if your betta is sick should always be to thoroughly clean the tank and ensure the water is the proper temperature.

The Jewish holidays must occur in their appointed season according to the Torah. To ensure this, there is a leap year that adds an extra month (Adar II) to the Jewish calendar to adjust for the differential between the Jewish calendar's lunar cycle and the Gregorian (secular) calendar's 365 day solar cycle. This year, we will see the earliest that Jewish holidays can fall beginning with Purim on Feb 24, 2013 (a Jewish holiday that usually occurs in March). Later on this year, just as students are returning to school following Labor Day we will observe Rosh Hashanah starting on the evening of September 4. We'll also celebrate the majority of the festival of Sukkot before the Fall equinox even takes place even though Sukkot is an autumnal holiday (the law states this is acceptable so long as the final day of the holiday, Hoshanah Rabbah, occurs after the Fall equinox). Of course, what most people are talking about is the idea of lighting the first candle of Hanukkah the day before we put the Thanksgiving turkeys in the oven.
I find this whole thing fascinating. Especially as this might be the only time in my life that I see the holidays falling this extremely early. I've always been intrigued with the Jewish calendar. My first real introduction to the intricacies of the "luach hashanah" was in 1996 when Rabbi Moshe Tutnauer was serving as an interim rabbi in Metro Detroit. In his small office at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield, Michigan he had dozens of instant lessons posted to the wall. As a seasoned interim rabbi these instant lessons came in handy.
Several years ago David Letterman quipped in a Late Show monologue, "Happy Rosh Hashanah, it's the Jewish new year and the year is 5768. I, uh, it's funny I'm still writing 5767 on my checks." Well, unlike Dave, most of us use the Gregorian calendar in our everyday lives, but as Jews we must be attuned to the Jewish calendar as well. It is the rhythm of our Jewish lives. Perhaps this year's anomaly in the Jewish calendar will cause people to learn more about the lunar calendar that governs the Jewish year.

Radiofrequency denervation is a treatment choice for some kinds of lower back and neck pain. It uses an electrical current created by radio waves. The radio waves make heat that destroys nerves along the spine that are causing pain. It's also known as radiofrequency lesioning, ablation, neurotomy, or rhizotomy.
This treatment may be an option to reduce or stop lower back or neck pain that has lasted for a month or more. It can help treat pain caused by arthritis, normal wear and tear, disk disease, injury, and other problems. It's used when other treatment hasn't worked, such as medicine and physical therapy. It may be done after an injection of medicine into the nerve area to confirm that the nerve will respond to treatment.
The procedure is done in a hospital or medical clinic. During the treatment:
You lie on your belly. The area that will be treated in your back or neck may be numbed. You may be given some medicine to help you relax.
The healthcare provider puts a thin tube through the skin over the spine in your lower back or neck. A moving X-ray machine called a fluoroscope is used to help make sure the thin tube is in the right place. You may feel some discomfort.
When the tube is in place, the provider puts a wire through the tube. The wire is connected to a machine that sends radio waves through the wire. The radio waves heat the nerve and destroy it.
More than one nerve may need to be treated. You can go home 1 to 2 hours after the procedure.
You may feel more pain right after the treatment. The pain should then go away over 1 to 3 weeks. The pain relief may last for less than a month, or for 6 months or more. This depends on what is causing your pain, and how well this treatment can work for it. It may help you be able to take less medicine for pain. The nerve will likely grow back. But it may not cause pain, or as much pain as before.
More pain after the procedure for a period of time
Mild burning feeling that may last up to 3 weeks
Numbness in the area that may last up to 4 months

Formfutura EasyFil™ ABS Dark Green is a beautiful deep turquoise green colored and 100% opaque filament. 3D printed objects in EasyFil™ ABS Dark Green will have a magical rain forest green appearance.
EasyFil™ ABS is a high-end "easy to use" 3D printer filament. Our EasyFil™ ABS is not like regular ABS, because EasyFil™ ABS has a very high impact-resistance, is extra strong, and above all is "easy to print" because of its limited warping!
It is recommended to set your heated print bed ± 90-110˚C when printing with EasyFil™ ABS.
Next to its "easy to use" features, our Formfutura EasyFil™ filament range has an excellent roundness and very tight diameter and ovalidity tolerances, which makes this filament a perfect match with all common desktop 3D printers. Printing with EasyFil™ ABS 3D printer filament will go very smoothly with basically all FFF/FDM technology based desktop 3D printers, such as:
- Ultimaker
- RepRap (Mendel, Huxley, Prusa)
- Solidoodle
- MakerBot (Replicator, Replicator 2, Replicator 2X)
- Leapfrog
- UP! Plus, Up! Mini
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene in full), is a thermoplastic which, as its name implies, is produced by the polymerization of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. ABS is produced from fossil fuels, meaning that it is not biodegradable and has a greater environmental impact than PLA for instance. Because of its toughness and strength ABS is a very popular and common used thermoplastic in industry.
EasyFil™ ABS is an extra strong, light, durable, and impact-resistant
filament resulting in a very stable 3D printing behavior making it an
ideal filament for 3D printing of solid printed products.
EasyFil™ ABS does not contain any hazardous, or chemical substances. In
fact, all our EasyFil™ ABS filaments are RoHS certified and REACH
Product details
Our 2.85mm EasyFil™ ABS 3D printer filament is wrapped on a plastic spool which contains approximately 0.75Kg of filament. Our spool-wrapped EasyFil™ ABS filaments are packed in a silica sealed bag and come in a full color printed cardboard box, which in turn is also sealed in plastic. Please see below for more details with respect to the weight and packaging of our spool-wrapped EasyFil™ ABS 3D printer filaments:
Filament Net Weight: | ± 0.75 Kg |
Spool Size (D x h): | 200 mm x 55 mm |
Spool Hub Diameter: | 52 mm |
Carton Box Size (L x W x H): | 200 mm x 200 mm x 60 mm |
Packaged weight | 1.25 Kg |
General Tips & Tricks for printing with ABS filaments
The printing temperature guideline for printing with our EasyFil™ ABS filament is approximately 220-260˚C. As each desktop 3D printer has its own unique characteristics, you might need to tweak around with your temperature settings a bit to get the best results. To obtain optimal results for your prints you need to take into account variables like your 3D printer's nozzle diameter, your printing speed settings, and layer height.
It is recommended to use a heated print bed when printing ABS. ABS has a tendency to warp, which makes it a difficult material to print without a heated print bed. Even though EasyFil™ ABS has a lesser tendency to wart than "normal" ABS it is till recommended to use a heated print bed. Ideally your print bed temperature should be set at approximately 90° to 110 ° C.
Please note that ABS will bend under too much heat, so after the first few layers, it's best to turn down your print bed temperature a bit.
A good first layer adhesion is of the utmost importance in obtaining the best results for your prints. Firstly make sure that you print bed is accurately leveled. Next, there are several tricks to get the first layer of your ABS print to stick better to the print bed of your 3D printer.
- In order to obtain a good first layer adhesion it is recommended to prepare your print bed with an adhesive spray like DimaFix.
- Use polyimide tape (Kapton tape or PET tape). ABS prints usually stick better to polyimide tape than to the print bed. When preparing the print bed it is better to have small gaps between your strokes of tape, rather than having overlaps. Overlaps of smaller pieces of tape may cause difficulties later on during the print process.
- Coat your print bed with hairspray. ABS has a tendency to stick really well to extra strong hairsprays.
- Coat your print bed with ABS juice. Dissolve a little piece of ABS in 50ml of Acetone. The acetone should get slightly cloudy. To make the surface of your print bed more sticky, you can lightly coat your print bed with this cloudy ABS/Acetone mixture. Please make sure not to use too much ABS in your juice as it will make your prints stick too well and be extremely difficult to remove.
PET tape and Kapton tape are unlikely to leave a residue on your print bed. Hairspray and ABS/Acetone juice coatings will leave a residue on your print bed.

All the way from Gutenberg's modest yet ingenious printing press to today's modern laser printers, the act of printing has been transformed almost entirely. Almost every kind of printing in this day and age is done through laser technology. Getting a quality print depends majorly on the quality of toner that is being used. That and the very cartridge that holds the toner determines how well the prints will turn out.
Getting the right prints can easily become a humbling task for anyone. As we jostle with our expensive printers every day, we are unable to stop and understand how they work and what can be changed within them in order for them to perform better. Therefore it is essential to understand the components that lead to the actual printing and find a fix that will work for you.
Since printing and photocopying is done through laser technology and laser printing depends on the use of toner, it is essential to understand what toner is and how it affects us. Toner is the term used to describe the powdery substance that cast the final print on the surface on which the print is being made. This powdery substance is a mixture of sugar, iron oxide, carbon and a polymer. Toner is available in the form of a cartridge that is easily replaceable in your printer or photocopier.
Toner cartridges are available in black as well as color. The color print cartridges are made up of four colors that are mixed in different proportions to create almost any color while printing. The four colors in the color cartridge are cyan, magenta, black and yellow. Brother toner cartridges are some of the best quality toner cartridges available today.
Purchasing the right toner cartridge can be an important factor that decides the fate of your prints as well as the printer.
