Night Sweats in Young Women Is Early Menopause A Possibility

You wake up in the middle of the night. Your clothes are completely soaked. You find the same problem with your bed sheets. You are having the inconvenient problem of night sweats. For many women, this means the inevitable: menopause. If you are having other menopausal symptoms such as irregular periods, bloating, hair loss, or more, you may feel that you know for sure menopause is starting. There is just one little problem; you are still a young woman.What can cause night sweats in young women?Isn't that pesky little problem supposed to happen much later in life?Can menopause really begin at a young age?The answer is YES. However, that does not mean you need to jump to the conclusion that you are definitely going through menopause. In fact, night sweats in women under the age of 30 are actually quite common. Before you assume it's menopause, look over the other possibilities.

how do find my dns serve address?

No, #Anonymous can't DDoS the root DNS servers

#Anonymous hackers have announced "Operation Global Blackout", promising to cause an Internet-wide blackout by disabling the core DNS servers. DNS is the phonebook of the Internet that translates machine names (like "www.facebook.com") to network addresses (like "66.220.158.25"). If hackers can disable the global DNS name system, then typing in your favorite website into your browser will produce an error.

But the attack is no longer practical. It's such a common idea that Wikipedia has a page devoted to it. For something so obvious, defenders have spent considerable time devising solutions. There are many reasons why such an attack won't cause a global blackout.

Reason #1: active response


Typical hacks work because it often takes a day for the victim to notice. Not so with critical Internet resources, like root DNS servers. Within minutes of something twitching, hundreds of Internet experts will converge to solve the problem.

We've seen this response in action after major Internet worms (Morris Worm, Slammer, Blaster) or undersea cable breaks destabilized the Internet. Despite devastating temporary effects on the Internet, defenders were able to react quickly and mitigate the problem, so that most people never noticed.

The easiest active response is to blackout the sources of the offending traffic. Defenders can quickly figure out where the attacks are coming from, and prevent packets from those sources from reaching the root DNS servers. Thus, people might see disruptions for a few minutes, but not likely any longer.

school should start later in the day

Debate This: Should Schools Open Later in the Morning?

The internet is buzzing with the latest sleep debate. Should schools start later as a means to combat teens sleep deprivation? More research has been coming out that suggests that biologically, teenagers circadian rhythms are set to produce melatonin much later in the night, between 11pm and 12am, so they are unable to fall asleep in time to get enough hours of sleep before school the next day. So if youre thinking your teen is staying up late just to Facebook with friends and text all night, you may want to think again. Both sides of this argument have plausible defenses, but at the end of the day, what should we go with? Lets bring both sides of the argument into the hypothetical boxing ring.

Show Boat at the Lyric Opera of Chicago

In a New production

Music by Jerome Kern

Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II

Based on the Novel Show Boat by Edna Ferber

Directed by Francesca Zambello

Conductor: John DeMain

Choreographer: Michele Lynch

At The Lyric Opera of Chicago

Show Boat is a triumph as it blends the best of opera  tradition with musical theatre in a truly American songfest

I have seen several terrific productions of  Show Boat including the Hal Prince production that played at the Auditorium Theatre in 1994-95. But I must say that Francesa Zambello and the creative folks at the Lyric Opera of Chicago need to be proud of their triumphant rendering of the 1927 classic.  Their Show Boat has all the freshness and rich operetta tone of the original yet it still resonates today. The original orchestrations and the blending of full-voiced opera stars with the cream of "A" list Chicago musical comedy and stage actors gave depth and full character development to the classic operetta/Broadway musical.

how do you copyright website?

Copyright notice from NRC Press. « Genomicron

Well, it finally happened. I received a copyright notice from a publisher about reprints that are posted on my lab website. I actually thought most publishers were sympathetic to the realities of scientific communication and let that sort of thing slide, but apparently not. I'm particularly disappointed that it comes from the National Research Council (NRC) Press of Canada.

Sometimes people would ask what would happen if a publisher asked me to take down my papers. Often I would answer that I would comply, but that I would never have anything to do with that publisher again, either as an author or a reviewer. The fact that this is from the NRC Press is a shame, because I have published a lot with them and have reviewed a large number of manuscripts for several of their journals. I am also working on a special issue for one of them, but I may have to reconsider that now.

Anyway, here's the message. It's polite and not threatening at all, but it does make it clear that colleagues outside of Canada will have to ask me for each reprint that they want, which is a huge pain for them and for me.

Hi Ryan,

Powerlet RapidFIRe Jacket Liner Package Review

Introduction

Staying warm on a motorcycle in the winter can be a challenge.  Basically, you have two options: bundle up or plug up.  Bundling up will keep you warm for shorter rides, but can limit your movement and comfort on a bike.  Plugging up costs a little more money, but you can control the level of heat and you don't have to have as many layers to keep warm and comfortable. In my most recent review on RiderGroups, I introduced you to the A'ME Heated Motorcycle Grips.  Heated grips are a great first step to help keep your hands warm on a motorcycle, but are not the complete answer as temperatures start to drop into the freezing or below freezing range.  If you still want to ride your motorcycle as the temperatures get this low, you will need something a little more substantial to keep you warm.  That's where the Powerlet RapidFire Jacket Liner Package fits in very nicely.  The Powerlet RapidFire Jacket Liner Package is not just a heated jacket liner, but a complete heated system that in my testing made a huge difference in winter time riding.

The Powerlet RapidFire Jacket Liner Package contains the Rapidfire Heated Jacket Liner, Powerlet Temperature Controls, Rapidfire Heated Glove Liners, and the Powerlet Adapter Cables.  In addition to the package items, I also received the Rearset Yamaha FJR Dual Keylock Kit and the Dual Wireless Temperature Controller.  Powerlet has all the parts that can keep you warm on a motorcycle in any weather condition, and they have custom parts for many makes and models of motorcycles that will make the install clean and custom.

Because this is a complete motorcycle heated gear system I will try to break this review down to its individual parts and tell you how the complete system works together.

Design

Rapidfire Heated Jacket Liner

The first thing you notice when you pick up the Rapidfire Heated jacket liner, is the quality that is built into this product.  It is very thin for a heated jacket liner so it will fit very well under your riding gear.  I removed the winter liner from my Tourmaster Riding Jacket, and replaced it with the RapidFire jacket liner.  This provided a decrease in bulk with a dramatic increase in cold weather comfort.

The liner has stretch panels along the arms, shoulders and sides that help you get a tight fit but remain comfortable with the movements necessary to pilot a motorcycle.  A tight fit is necessary in heated gear as you want the heat source to be close to the body.

The collar of the liner has a very comfortable fleece lining that feels very nice against the neck and it is heated as well.  When zipped to the top, the liner covers all of the neck and has allowed me to ride without the neckgaiter that I have used in the past to keep the wind off my neck in cold weather riding.

The jacket liner is wind and water resistant and has a Polyurethane coated nylon outer shell.  On cooler mornings, where powered heat is not required, the jacket liner does a very nice job without its heat source of providing comfort down in the 40 degree range.  Because the liner is very comfortable, it is not intrusive to be worn as a secondary clothing layer.  Most heated gear is in the way when you don't have the intention of plugging it in.

One of the very nice features of the liner is the zippered pocket along the back of the liner.  This pocket can be opened and the liner stuffed inside to make a nice storage pouch for the liner when it is not needed.

The liner contains nanotube technology to provide heat; making it virtually wire-free.  The torso, neck and sleeves have very small (nanotube) wires running through them that are so minimal you can not feel them unless you really search for them.  Along the waist of the liner and the end of the sleeves, it does have wires that provide connection points to the wiring harness and the glove liners.  These wires are out of the way and do not adversely affect the comfort of wearing the liner.

what are three works for which jane austen is credited?

Jane Odiwe Jane Austen Sequels: Beautiful Lyme in Winter!

Odiwe picks things up where Austen left off in Pride and Prejudice, in an impeccably crafted tale of Elizabeth and Darcy after the wedding. John Charles - Booklist

When Marianne Dashwood weds Colonel Brandon both are aware of the other's past attachments; Marianne's grand passion for the charming but ruthless John Willoughby and Brandon's tragic amour for his lost love Eliza. Three years on Marianne is living contentedly with her husband and child at Delaford Park, although Marianne's passionate, impulsive and sometimes jealous behaviour is an impediment to her true happiness. News that John Willoughby and his wife have returned to the West Country brings back painful memories for Marianne and with the demise of Mrs. Smith of Allenham Court comes the possibility of Mr. Willoughby and his wife returning to live near Barton and the surrounding area of Devon and Dorset, a circumstance which triggers a set of increasingly challenging, yet often amusing perplexities for all concerned.
At eighteen going on nineteen, I thought it was time to give Margaret a heroine's role. Her story is intertwined with that of Marianne's who encourages Margaret to follow her heart. I have so enjoyed writing this book, weaving together the stories of two heroines against the backdrops of Delaford in autumn, London and Lyme in the winter, re-visiting the scenes and characters from Sense and Sensibility that I love so much.

what is? anchor text from web page

Why all the Links? (part 5 of 7)

What is a link? A link (or hypertext link) is a powerful web protocol where text or images on website pages can be "clicked-on" and then the user is taken to another page.

Links are one of the key elements that make the internet work and analyzing links and anchor text is one of the key ways search engines deliver relevant results to users.

What is anchor text? Anchor text is the text that you click on in a link. So if I wanted to create a link to my homepage, http://tribeswell.com, and I create a link in a block of text that says "website design experts", then the "website design experts" is the anchor text.

what is uniterm index

Article Summary for Lecture #7

Aitchison, J., & Clarke, S.D. (2004). The thesaurus: A historical viewpoint, with a look to the future. Cataloging & Classification Quarterly 37(3/4):5-21.I

This article gives the reader a history of four decades worth of thesauri experiment and development, beginning in the 1800s with a definition of thesaurus that reads, "a treasury or storehouse of knowledge." The first thesaurus the authors mention by name was the non-alphabetically arranged "Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases." I think that what the authors refer to as a thesaurus in modern times is really a stand in for controlled vocabulary, subject terms, etc. They give an ISO definition that highlights this view: "the vocabulary of a controlled indexing language."

An example of another type of early thesaurus is closely aligned with my idea of a thesaurus coming into this reading: uniterms. Uniterms were one word thesauri, but they didn't last long for obvious reasons. Think about thermal insulation versus electric insulation. In a uniterm thesaurus these very different ideas would both be expressed by insulation. The frequent occurrence of different meanings for words in different contexts led to the extinction of this type of thesaurus.

what does the state flag represent?

Day 352. The One Time I Almost Ran For State Legislature

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

It came as a shock to me. I had never had such aspirations. How was I the name they came up with? Could I possibly pull off something so large if I wasn't passionate about doing it? These were my considerations as I was being pursued to run for state legislature. It was 2008, and a group of Democrats always get together to brainstorm ideas for who should run for state congressional seats. Somehow, my name came up. I identify as a Democrat, but I don't identify with polarizing, and if you'd like to know my thoughts on it, click here. The spot had been held by a longtime politician who was now being termed out. The guy I know, Kris, who approached me explained that they thought I would be good because I'm personable, I like public speaking, and I'm fairly well known around town. True, I like talking to people, and the more random the people the better. Also, I do like public speaking quite a bit, and a lot of people do know me, even if I'm known for idiocy on a stage.

I could kind of see why they thought of me. I do like politics and get pretty into it. I was throwing a block party that weekend, which they seemed to think was something a candidate does, even if I was doing it because I love potlucks and yard games, and that party would ultimate end with a downpour and my friend Joe and I in a kayak trying to navigate a flooded ditch by the road.

I was considering it, well, I kept trying to, but every time I did, I just giggled, a lot.

what fruit do eat with gerd

Foods for gastrointestinal disorders | Sify Health

Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are quite common. These range from trifling stomach aches to life-threatening chronic diarrhea in those who suffer from a disorder like inflammatory bowel disease.

These conditions don't just disrupt normal nutrition and digestion but also come in the way of the normal enjoyment of life. In these cases, right nutritional choices can help people with gastrointestinal ailments manage their symptoms.

GERD
GERD, for gastro esophageal reflux disease, is caused by the pushing back of stomach acids into the esophagus owing to relaxation of the sphincter that separates the esophagus from the stomach. The symptoms include chest pain that worsens after lying down, difficulty in swallowing, coughing and wheezing, and regurgitation in case of sour foods.

While smoking, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, citrus fruits and fatty foods exacerbate heartburn, stress and erratic eating patterns also aggravate symptoms.

Diet tips: Generally in GERD a normal diet needs to be followed. However certain restrictions are necessary. Limit or avoid the following foods to avoid triggering symptoms:

how to make no sew blankets

Domestic Square Peg Dixie teaches you how to make a no-sew fleece blanket.

Fleece Blanket from http://theiveyleague.com

It is important in our family that we stress to our children the significance of giving back.  Our kids are fortunate to have two parents who love them and four grandparents who spoil them (not quite to "rotten", but close). But, as we all know, there are far too many children in our backyards and communities who suffer every day.

This year, after touring a local Children's Center where abused children can go for specialized healthcare, we learned that each child left the center with a handmade blanket. Aha! The icing on the cake was that the most popular blankets with the kids were those made of cozy fleece, which the Center Director told us were  "no sew"!  Double Aha!  Even your friend Dixie can do that.

Ratios and Formulas in Customer Financial Analysis

Financial statement analysis is a judgmental process. One of the primary objectives is identification of major changes in trends, and relationships and the investigation of the reasons underlying those changes. The judgment process can be improved by experience and the use of analytical tools. Probably the most widely used financial analysis technique is ratio analysis, the analysis of relationships between two or more line items on the financial statement. Financial ratios are usually expressed in percentage or times. Generally, financial ratios are calculated for the purpose of evaluating aspects of a company's operations and fall into the following categories:
  • liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations.
  • profitability ratios measure management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business.
  • leverage ratios measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long-term funds and can also aid in judging a firm's ability to raise additional debt and its capacity to pay its liabilities on time.
  • efficiency, activity or turnover ratios provide information about management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business.
A ratio can be computed from any pair of numbers. Given the large quantity of variables included in financial statements, a very long list of meaningful ratios can be derived. A standard list of ratios or standard computation of them does not exist. The following ratio presentation includes ratios that are most often used when evaluating the credit worthiness of a customer. Ratio analysis becomes a very personal or company driven procedure. Analysts are drawn to and use the ones they are comfortable with and understand.
Liquidity Ratios
Working Capital
Working capital compares current assets to current liabilities, and serves as the liquid reserve available to satisfy contingencies and uncertainties. A high working capital balance is mandated if the entity is unable to borrow on short notice. The ratio indicates the short-term solvency of a business and in determining if a firm can pay its current liabilities when due.
  • Formula
    Current Assets
    - Current Liabilities
    Acid Test or Quick Ratio
    A measurement of the liquidity position of the business. The quick ratio compares the cash plus cash equivalents and accounts receivable to the current liabilities. The primary difference between the current ratio and the quick ratio is the quick ratio does not include inventory and prepaid expenses in the calculation. Consequently, a business's quick ratio will be lower than its current ratio. It is a stringent test of liquidity.
  • Formula
    Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable
    Current Liabilities
    Current Ratio
    Provides an indication of the liquidity of the business by comparing the amount of current assets to current liabilities. A business's current assets generally consist of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and inventories. Current liabilities include accounts payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued income taxes, and other accrued expenses that are due within one year. In general, businesses prefer to have at least one dollar of current assets for every dollar of current liabilities. However, the normal current ratio fluctuates from industry to industry. A current ratio significantly higher than the industry average could indicate the existence of redundant assets.

    what is th process ployethylene bottles made

    What can be made from plastic bottles?

    Most people know that its important to recycle plastic bottles and a good number of individuals and businesses participate in a recycling program. Single-use water bottles and plastic bags are causing extensive environmental damage, and yet the use of these items increases daily.

    Its vital that both individuals and industry acknowledge their role in making sure that these items do not end up in landfills, floating at the bottom of the ocean, or wrapped around the necks of wildlife or domesticated animals. The obvious answer to this problem is to reduce the number of single use plastic items that end as waste. Recycling and reusing the materials is an excellent alternative, especially if the new products are reusable themselves.

    How 'Conscious Acceptance' Empowers Your Beliefs, Choices and Actions, 2 of 2

    Believe it or not, you are in a perfect place in your life, exactly where you need to be.

    If that doesn't feel true, you may not be exercising your capacity for conscious acceptance as a springboard for making optimal choices, or may not understand how it can serve you as a bridge or anchor, to realizing the larger vision of where you aspire to be your life (whether you know what that is or not).

    In Part 1, we looked at conscious acceptance, and how it can empower you to respond to disappointments and challenges in consciously positive ways. Considering the life-shaping power of responses, that's big.

    In this post, we look at three factors that shape how you respond – your beliefs, choices and actions – and how acceptance can play a vital role in cultivating these key abilities, so that they more fully support you to take the shortest, most expedient path to living a life of balance, healing and transformation, or what psychologist Abraham Maslow would call self-actualization.

    How does conscious acceptance maximize your beliefs, choices and actions?

    • Like an anchor, acceptance grounds you sense of self and emotional safety in mind- and body-calming core beliefs.

    Your responses are life-shaping energy, and this is largely because what you believe determines your overall approach to life and how you respond in certain situations.

    Like an anchor, acceptance grounds your core beliefs and values in ways that allow you to better regulate your body's fear response. Acceptance is a basic emotional nutrient that makes it possible to relate to your body and inner world of feelings, thoughts and sensations, as you would someone you want to form a caring relationship with, to be in communication, fully engaged and present, and to seek to know, better understand and bring out the best in one another, as lifelong friends.

    what makes shark swim

    A non-skinny dipping adventure

    In the past, I've been known to do things that really scare me, in a determined effort to overcome the fear.  Things like climbing Chichen Itza in Mexico; hauling my trembling self up Sigiriya in Sri Lanka even when the panic was really grasping at my mind; walking across a 70ft high rope bridge in Borneo, a bridge that was far to bouncy for my liking (and normally, I'm a fan of bouncy things, like balls, dogs, children).  Yes, I've done a few things that scare me, and last night, I managed to achieve another – SCUBA diving.

    I am a bit of a water baby.  I love to be near it, on it, and in it.  I adore swimming, or simply floating to be honest!  Sometimes, I like to swim underwater for a little while, yet I'm never far from the surface, and can easily pop up when I want some air.  The idea of SCUBA diving has never really appealed, simply because I know I'm not too great with having things around my face and neck and eyes.  Therefore, having a mask clamping my nose shut and a plastic tube shoved in my mouth is not in the slightest bit appealing to me.

    That was, until a friend of mine suggested diving with sharks as one of my 40 Things for 40 list.  At first, I was horrified at the mere idea.  Not only the diving aspect, but the real reason why the idea of diving (at least in open sea) terrifies me…de dum…de dum….SHAAAAAARK!

    why do women appear to be knock kneed

    Do Women Lack Confidence in their Ability to be an Entrepreneur?

    According to a recent study by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 47.7% of women believe they are capable of starting a business compared to 62.1% of men. This lack of confidence persisted throughout all economies and cultures that were included in the study.

    So what gives? Let's delve into the issue a little more…

    Culture is one issue. For example, Korea, a country with pretty good rate of entrepreneurship, has the lowest rate for women-owned businesses in all of Asia. In Korea, there are definite role expectations for women. There are also fewer day-care options for Korean children. On the other hand, in China, grandparents are typically the caregivers, allowing mothers to look for or create their own jobs.
