Title: Skin cancer in horses
Passage: Skin cancer, or neoplasia, is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in horses, accounting for 45 to 80% of all cancers diagnosed.  Sarcoids are the most common type of skin neoplasm and are the most common type of cancer overall in horses.  Squamous-cell carcinoma is the second-most prevalent skin cancer, followed by melanoma.  Squamous-cell carcinoma and melanoma usually occur in horses greater than 9-years-old, while sarcoids commonly affect horses 3 to 6 years old.  Surgical biopsy is the method of choice for diagnosis of most equine skin cancers, but is contraindicated for cases of sarcoids.  Prognosis and treatment effectiveness varies based on type of cancer, degree of local tissue destruction, evidence of spread to other organs (metastasis) and location of the tumor.  Not all cancers metastasize and some can be cured or mitigated by surgical removal of the cancerous tissue or through use of chemotherapeutic drugs.
Title: Mass media in Canada
Passage: The term mass media refers to any means or technology used to communicate a message to large groups of people.  Popular forms of mass media include television, the Internet, and newspapers.  Mass media are specifically intended to reach larger audiences.  The term is often divided into two broad categories: that of electronic mass media and that of print mass media.  Electronic mass media require their audiences to interact with electronics in order to receive the message.  They attempt to recreate or represent a message through moving pictures and/or sound.  Four common examples of electronic media used in Canadian society are television, radio, films, and the Internet.  Print mass media, on the other hand, refers to any media that is distributed to audiences in a printed form, on paper.  Examples of this include newspapers, printed books, and magazines.  The mass media model in Canada is different from the mass media model of the United States as well as the rest of the world.  According to John A. Irving, mass media functions differently in Canadian society because of a lack of collective identity; this is in reference to Canada's languages (and related cultures) as well as its proximity to the United States.  Irving states that such cultural dualism means that only some of the population responds to the mass media in English, while the other portion remain uninfluenced by English-based media.  In terms of the proximity to the United States, he explains that "most of the difficulties that threaten the mass media in Canada are the direct outcome of American economic and cultural imperialism."  Because of the United States' overwhelming influence on Canadian mass media, Canada has not been able to form its own identity in the media.  These two factors have slowed down the process of the creation of a Canadian community.  Mass media help in forming a community through communication.  When a large group of people is in communication with one another through media, an identifiable culture is formed.  Individuals in dialectic experience a sense of membership and collective identity.
Title: Rod Taylor
Passage: Rodney Sturt "Rod" Taylor (11 January 1930 – 7 January 2015) was an Australian-born American actor of film and television.  He appeared in over 50 films, including "The Time Machine" (1960), "The Birds" (1963), and "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" (1961).
Title: Parental portrayals in the media
Passage: The portrayal of the family structure in the media is important because the media reinforces different gender stereotypes in society today.  The media tends to highlight the "traditional American family" as opposed to nonconventional configurations.  Social Scientists have found that home, family and romance are three of the most important components of the way characters are presented.  Moreover, these qualities are often presented in a stereotypical and traditional fashion.  In the past few years, the traditional American family has shifted from its original patriarchal structure to a more gender-equivalent dynamic.  For example, two-married-parent families were the most common type of family unit a generation ago; however, in the year 2000 that particular family structure could only be found in one out of four households.  The depictions of these changes in the media can reinforce or debunk society's views on raising a family.  Media channels such as children's books, television, movies and advertisements are direct touch points for both youth and parents to process shifting gender roles within the family.  More specifically, as roles such as "dumb" fathers, single mothers, step mothers and stay-at-home dads continue to be portrayed in the media, these roles will mirror and shift in reality as well.
Title: Media type
Passage: A media type (also MIME type and content type) is a two-part identifier for file formats and format contents transmitted on the Internet.  The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the official authority for the standardization and publication of these classifications.  Media types were originally defined in Request for Comments 2045 in November 1996 as a part of "MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)" specification, for denoting type of email message content and attachments; hence the name "MIME type".  Media types are also used by other internet protocols such as HTTP and document file formats such as HTML, for similar purpose.
Title: Cis AB
Passage: Cis AB is a rare mutation in the ABO gene which complicates the basic inheritance pattern and blood-transfusion compatibility matching for ABO blood typing.  There are different DNA mutations of either type A or Type B alleles that change several amino acids in enzyme transferase A or B, homologous enzymes differing in only four of 354 amino acids (R176G, G235S, L266M, and G268A).  A single change in ABO gene DNA could reverse type B to type A and then, a new hybrid enzyme will produce both weak B and A2 (in serum test, A2B and A2B3)).  The most common mutation is an A105 allele variation in exon 7 nucleotide position G803C changing Glycine (type A) to Alanine (type B).  There are another 8 alleles reported in BGMUT, the most discovered reciently in China and Taiwan.  In the cis-AB genotype, both antigens are expressed, like in a standard (trans) AB genotype.  In a traditional AB phenotype, A and B antigenes are inherited separately from the father and mother while a cis-AB allele comes from one parent only.  In a serum test, cis-AB tests almost the same as a traditional AB, but people with this rare type have problems with blood transfusions.  Some of them need components like washed red blood cells or autotransfusion of serum and blood.
Title: Anipamil
Passage: Anipamil is a calcium channel blocker, specifically of the phenylalkylamine type.  This type is separate from its more common cousin Dihydropyridine.  Anipamil is an analog of the more common drug verapamil, which is the most common type of phenylalkylamine style calcium channel blocker.  Anipamil has been shown to be a more effective antiarrhythmic medication than verapamil because it does not cause hypertension as seen in verapamil.  It is able to do this by bonding to the myocardium tighter then verapamil.
Title: Uterine cancer
Passage: Uterine cancer or womb cancer is any type of cancer that emerges from the tissue of the uterus.  It can refer to several types of cancer, with cervical cancer (arising from the lower portion of the uterus) being the most common type worldwide and the second most common cancer in women in developing countries.  Endometrial cancer (or cancer of the inner lining of the uterus) is the second most common type, and fourth most common cancer in women from developed countries.  Risk factors depend on specific type, but obesity, older age, and human papillomavirus infection add the greatest risk of developing uterine cancer.  Early on, there may be no symptoms, but irregular vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or fullness may develop.  If caught early, most types of uterine cancer can be cured using surgical or medical methods.  When the cancer has extended beyond the uterine tissue, more advanced treatments including combinations of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery may be required.
Title: Write strategy
Passage: In DVD authoring, a write strategy is a set of low-level parameters that enables an optical disc drive to write on a specific type of blank media according to its optimum specifications.  The media type is identified by the manufacturer and media ID, which is often unrelated to the brand of the media due to rebadging.  Write strategies are essential for compatibility with various types of blank media, and are typically stored in the drive's firmware.  If a drive lacks a write strategy for a media type, it will only be able to write using minimum speed.  Drive manufacturers typically include new or improved write strategies as part of a firmware upgrade, in order to extend or improve compatibility with blank media.  In cases where official support for a drive has been discontinued or is deemed unsatisfactory, users have come up with ways to patch the write strategies by modding the drive's firmware.
Title: Nobody Runs Forever
Passage: Nobody Runs Forever, also called The High Commissioner, is a 1968 film directed by Ralph Thomas based on Jon Cleary's 1966 novel "The High Commissioner".  It stars Rod Taylor as Australian policeman Scobie Malone and Christopher Plummer as the Australian High Commissioner in England caught up in corrupt dealings, during delicate negotiations.  Taylor's production company was involved in making the film as was the American Selmur Productions.
