text: Regeneration of the vascular system in the experimental nerve heterografts was studied stereoscopically and histologically, using peroneal nerves of 27 mongrel adult dogs.. Comparison was made between radiated and nonradiated nerve grafts. Two types of arterial proliferation in and around the graft were found after nerve grafting: (1) extraneural proliferation of the vessels around the graft, most prominent at the third to sixth week after grafting and more extreme in nonradiated grafts, and (2) intraneural proliferation of the vessels, which began at the third week and became complete at the 24th week after grafting. In the radiated group, this type of proliferation traversed the graft longitudinally, forming regular bundles in the graft.. The evidence suggests that radiation of the nerve segments has the definite advantage of producing a regular pattern of the regenerating vascular system in the nerve heterograft.

Lesson: Regeneration of the Vascular System in Nerve Heterografts

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the regeneration of the vascular system in the experimental nerve heterografts. We will cover the following sections:

I. Background
II. Types of Arterial Proliferation
III. Advantage of Radiation
IV. Conclusion

I. Background
The study of regeneration of the vascular system in the experimental nerve heterografts was conducted on 27 mongrel adult dogs. The purpose of the study was to compare the regeneration of the vascular system in radiated and non-radiated nerve grafts.

II. Types of Arterial Proliferation
Two types of arterial proliferation were found after nerve grafting:

1. Extraneural proliferation of the vessels around the graft - This type of proliferation was more prominent in non-radiated grafts and was most noticeable at the third to sixth week after grafting.

2. Intraneural proliferation of the vessels - This type of proliferation began at the third week and became complete at the 24th week after grafting. In the radiated group, this type of proliferation traversed the graft longitudinally, forming regular bundles in the graft.

III. Advantage of Radiation
The evidence suggests that radiation of the nerve segments has the definite advantage of producing a regular pattern of the regenerating vascular system in the nerve heterograft. This is because the radiation causes the vessels to regenerate in a more organized manner, forming regular bundles in the graft.

IV. Conclusion
In conclusion, we have learned about the regeneration of the vascular system in the experimental nerve heterografts. We covered the background of the study, the types of arterial proliferation found, and the advantage of radiation in producing a regular pattern of the regenerating vascular system in the nerve heterograft.

Glossary:
- Nerve heterograft: A piece of nerve tissue taken from one part of the body and transplanted to another part.
- Proliferation: The process of rapidly increasing in number or amount.
- Regeneration: The process of renewal, growth, and repair that takes place in the body after injury.
- Radiation: The emission of particles or rays, especially the emission of particles or rays by radioactive substances.

Self-Debate Discussion:
What are some potential applications of understanding the regeneration of the vascular system in nerve heterografts? How could this knowledge be used to improve treatments for patients with nerve damage or other conditions involving the vascular system?

VideoGamer.com has word from Infinity Ward that some surprises remain in
Modern Warfare 2, in spite of all the advance publicity for the military
shooter sequel also known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, a Modern Warfare
Call of Duty Game (or something like that). "There are some huge surprises.
What's awesome is, we've done all the press we've done so far, we've shown
Cliffhanger, we've shown some Favela, we've set the tone of what Modern Warfare
2 is, and yet there is something we haven't talked about that, and the reason we
haven't talked about it is because once you see it you completely forget
everything we've already talked about. It becomes this whole new game. That's
what I'm excited for," Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling tells them. "There are a
lot of surprises. Some stuff we will never talk about till launch, and that's
just because we want that… it's emotional stuff that we want to have that
emotional response when you play, not read it in a magazine and then you're
like, oh yeah I know about that."

Hillary Clinton Should Apologize to Bernie Sanders

By Scott Galindez, Reader Supported News

h, what a difference eight years makes – when it comes to Hillary Clinton, that is. Bernie Sanders, not so much. He has hardly changed in 30 years. If Bernie Sanders were debating the 2008 version of Hillary Clinton today, in most cases the differences would be more profound. When it comes to guns, however, in 2008 Hillary Clinton sounded a lot like Bernie Sanders.

“There are some who say that this [gun violence] is an urban problem,” Hillary Clinton told the Charleston, South Carolina, NAACP recently in a clear reference to Bernie Sanders. “Sometimes what they mean by that is: It’s a black problem. But it’s not. It’s not black, it’s not urban. It’s a deep, profound challenge to who we are.”

Clinton was referring to Sanders saying: “We can’t have people demagoguing against folks just because they go out and hunt and they own guns, on the other hand, rural America has got to understand that guns in Vermont are not the same thing as guns in Chicago where they’re used to kill kids or to shoot at police officers.”

Sanders has often substituted “cities” for “Chicago” but in no way has ever called guns an “urban problem.”

Even more disturbing, Hillary Clinton held the same position on the “urban/rural divide” in 2008 when debating President Obama. Like Sanders, Clinton tried to make the case that she was best positioned to bridge the divide, because after all she grew up around guns. She argued that hunting and shooting were a way of life in America and part of our culture.

In a one of the 2008 debates, Clinton said, “We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.” Bernie has never argued against any federal gun restrictions …

Clinton went on to say, “I respect the 2nd Amendment. I respect the rights of lawful gun owners to own guns, to use their guns. But I also believe that most lawful gun owners whom I have spoken with for many years across our country also want to be sure that we keep those guns out of the wrong hands. And as president, I will work to try to bridge this divide, which I think has been polarizing and, frankly, doesn’t reflect the common sense of the American people.”

Seems to me that there is not much daylight between Hillary Clinton on guns in 2008 and Bernie Sanders in 2015. If anything, Hillary in 2008 was closer to the NRA than Bernie has ever been.

Hillary also tried to call Bernie sexist because of a statement he made during the first Democratic Party debate.

“As a Senator from a rural state, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what I would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing. I believe that there is a consensus in this country. A consensus has said we need to strengthen and expand instant background checks, do away with this gun show loophole, that we have to address the issue of mental health, that we have to deal with the strawman purchasing issue, and that when we develop that consensus, we can finally, finally do something to address this issue.”

A week later at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Des Moines, Clinton said, “I haven’t been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it’s shouting.”

If Bernie had been referring to Hillary, she might have had a point, but he wasn’t. For months, Sanders has been saying that we have to stop shouting at each other over guns.

In July, Sanders said that people needed to “stop shouting at each other” on the issue of guns. In August, he said that “people shouting at each other” about gun control “is not doing anybody any good.” In October, reacting to the mass shooting at a community college in Oregon, he said that the nation needed to “get beyond the shouting” on the issue.

Clearly, Hillary Clinton and her advisors are willing to play the race and sexist cards without merit. I think they owe Mr. Sanders an apology.

Now let’s listen to Bernie Sanders’ latest statement on mass shootings and gun control. I think you will agree that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are not any stronger advocates of gun control than Bernie Sanders. They are just more inconsistent.

Scott Galindez attended Syracuse University, where he first became politically active. The writings of El Salvador's slain archbishop Oscar Romero and the on-campus South Africa divestment movement converted him from a Reagan supporter to an activist for Peace and Justice. Over the years he has been influenced by the likes of Philip Berrigan, William Thomas, Mitch Snyder, Don White, Lisa Fithian, and Paul Wellstone. Scott met Marc Ash while organizing counterinaugural events after George W. Bush's first stolen election. Scott will be spending a year covering the presidential election from Iowa.

Lesson: How to Debate Without Merit

Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of debating with facts and evidence rather than playing the race and sexist cards. We will analyze a statement made by Scott Galindez about Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders' stance on gun violence.

Section 1: Understanding the Importance of Debating With Facts and Evidence

Debating is an essential skill that helps us understand different perspectives and come up with better solutions to problems. However, it is crucial to debate with facts and evidence rather than playing the race and sexist cards without merit. This is because such tactics do not add any value to the discussion and can even harm the credibility of the person using them.

Section 2: Analyzing the Statement About Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders

Scott Galindez wrote an article in which he criticized Hillary Clinton for playing the race and sexist cards without merit. He argued that she owed Bernie Sanders an apology for her comments about gun violence.

Section 3: Evaluating the Arguments

Galindez's argument is based on the idea that Clinton's comments about gun violence were unfounded and lacked evidence. He believes that she should have debated the issue with facts and evidence rather than playing the race card.

Section 4: Practical Examples

Let's consider a scenario where two people are debating about education reform. One person argues that the current system is broken and needs to be replaced, while the other argues that the system needs to be fixed. If the first person starts playing the race card without providing any evidence to support their claim, it will not help their case. Instead, they should provide facts and figures to support their argument.

Section 5: Self-Debating Discussion

Should Hillary Clinton have played the race card without merit in her comments about gun violence? Why or why not?

Conclusion

In conclusion, debating with facts and evidence is crucial to ensure that our arguments are well-supported and based on evidence. Playing the race and sexist cards without merit can harm our credibility and do more harm than good to the discussion. By learning how to debate effectively, we can contribute to better solutions to problems.

Voiceless palatal affricate

The voiceless palatal affricate is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represent this sound are  and , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is c_C. The tie bar may be omitted, yielding  in the IPA and cC in X-SAMPA.

This sound is the non-sibilant equivalent of the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate.

The voiceless palatal affricate occurs in such languages as Hungarian and Skolt Sami, among others. The consonant is quite rare; it is mostly absent from Europe (with the Uralic languages and Albanian being exceptions). It usually occurs with its voiced counterpart, the voiced palatal affricate.

There is also the voiceless post-palatal affricate in some languages, which is articulated slightly more back compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical voiceless palatal affricate, though not as back as the prototypical voiceless velar affricate. The International Phonetic Alphabet does not have a separate symbol for that sound, though it can be transcribed as ,  (both symbols denote a retracted ) or  (advanced ) - this article uses only the first symbol. The equivalent X-SAMPA symbols are c_-_C_- and k_+_x_+, respectively.

Especially in broad transcription, the voiceless post-palatal affricate may be transcribed as a palatalized voiceless velar affricate ( or  in the IPA, k_x' or k_x_j in X-SAMPA).

Features
Features of the voiceless palatal affricate:

 It is not a sibilant.
 The otherwise identical post-palatal variant is articulated slightly behind the hard palate, making it sound slightly closer to the velar .

Lesson: Phonetics and Phonology

Introduction:
Phonetics and phonology are two branches of linguistics that deal with the study of sounds in languages. Phonetics focuses on the physical properties of speech sounds, while phonology deals with their abstract characteristics. In this lesson, we will learn about the voiceless palatal affricate, a type of consonantal sound found in some spoken languages.

Section 1: The Voiceless Palatal Affricate

Topic 1: Definition
The voiceless palatal affricate is a type of consonantal sound that is produced by blocking the airflow at the palate and then releasing it. This sound is represented by the symbols  and in the International Phonetic Alphabet, and c_C in X-SAMPA.

Topic 2: Features
The voiceless palatal affricate has several features that distinguish it from other sounds. These include:
- Place of articulation: palate (roof of the mouth)
- Manner of articulation: affricate (starting with a stop and ending with a fricative)
- Voicing: voiceless (no vibrations in the vocal cords)
- Placement: non-sibilant (not produced by the tongue against the teeth)

Topic 3: Examples
Examples of the voiceless palatal affricate in English include the initial consonant clusters in words like "church" and "turkey." In other languages, such as Hungarian and Skolt Sami, the voiceless palatal affricate occurs more frequently.

Questions:
1. What is the difference between the voiceless palatal affricate and the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate?
2. Can you name some languages where the voiceless palatal affricate is found?

Section 2: The Voiceless Post-Palatal Affricate

Topic 1: Definition
The voiceless post-palatal affricate is a type of consonantal sound that is similar to the voiceless palatal affricate but is articulated slightly more back compared with the place of articulation of the prototypical voiceless palatal affricate. It is not as back as the prototypical voiceless velar affricate. The International Phonetic Alphabet does not have a separate symbol for this sound, though it can be transcribed as ,  (both symbols denote a retracted ) or  (advanced ) - this article uses only the first symbol.

Topic 2: Features
The voiceless post-palatal affricate shares many features with the voiceless palatal affricate, including place of articulation, manner of articulation, and voicing. However, it is articulated slightly more back, making it different from the prototypical voiceless palatal affricate.

Topic 3: Examples
Examples of the voiceless post-palatal affricate are rare in English and other European languages. However, they can be found in some African and Asian languages, such as Swahili and Mandarin Chinese.

Questions:
1. How does the voiceless post-palatal affricate differ from the voiceless palatal affricate?
2. Can you name some languages where the voiceless post-palatal affricate is found?

Section 3: Practice

Exercise 1: Transcription
Listen to the following audio clips and transcribe the sounds using the appropriate symbols for the voiceless palatal affricate and the voiceless post-palatal affricate.

- /tʃ/ in "church"
- /tʰaːtʃ/ in "catch"
- /tʃʰaːtʃ/ in "chatch"

Exercise 2: Identification
Listen to the following audio clips and identify the place of articulation and manner of articulation for each sound.

- /s/ in "see"
- /ʃ/ in "sheep"
- /tʃ/ in "church"
- /tʰaːt/ in "that"
- /tʃʰaːt/ in "chatch"

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the voiceless palatal affricate and the voiceless post-palatal affricate, two types of consonantal sounds found in some spoken languages. We covered their definitions, features, and examples, and practiced transcribing and identifying these sounds. By understanding the properties of these sounds, we can better analyze and compare languages and their phonetic systems.

Lesson: Introduction to Heart Disease
## Section 1: What is Heart Disease?
Heart disease is a condition that affects the heart and blood vessels. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart attack. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and it affects both men and women. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of heart disease and how they differ between men and women.
## Section 2: Types of Heart Disease
There are several types of heart disease, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease, and it occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked. This can lead to chest pain or a heart attack. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle becomes weak and cannot pump blood effectively. Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.
## Section 3: Heart Disease in Men and Women
While heart disease affects both men and women, there are some differences between the sexes. For example, women tend to develop heart disease later in life than men do, and their symptoms may be different. Women may experience shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain, while men may experience chest pain and shortness of breath. Additionally, women are more likely to develop heart disease after menopause, while men are more likely to develop it earlier in life.
## Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, heart disease is a serious condition that affects both men and women. There are several types of heart disease, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. While there are some differences between the sexes when it comes to heart disease, it is important for everyone to understand the risks and symptoms associated with this condition. By learning more about heart disease, we can take steps to prevent it and seek treatment if necessary.
## Glossary
- Coronary artery disease: A condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked.
- Heart failure: A condition in which the heart muscle becomes weak and cannot pump blood effectively.
- Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms that can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.

text: Osmo Interior Finishes. ‘With just one tin of Osmo you can achieve near to double the square metre coverage of an ordinary wood finishing system’.. Osmo Interior Wood Finishes contain an unusally high amount of pigments and oils and as such they have a much better coverage than more conventional finishes. Osmo Wood Finishes leave a stunning surface finish after just one or two coats, without the need for a primer or base coat. In comparison to other paints, which need primers etc., the time you need to use Osmo is massively reduced, saving you time and money.

textbook:
Lesson: How to Calculate Coverage Area

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the coverage area of a surface using Osmo Interior Finishes. We will explore the formula for calculating coverage area, and apply it to real-world scenarios.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

- Coverage area refers to the amount of surface that can be covered by a certain amount of paint or finish.
- Osmo Interior Finishes have a high pigment and oil content, which allows for better coverage than conventional finishes.
- The coverage area can be calculated using the formula: Coverage Area = (Area of Surface / Coverage per Unit Area).

Section 2: Practical Examples

- Suppose you have a wall that measures 10 feet by 12 feet, and you want to know how many tins of Osmo Finish you will need to cover it.
- Using the formula above, we can calculate the coverage area as follows: Coverage Area = (10 ft x 12 ft / X sq ft/tin), where X is the coverage per unit area of Osmo Finish.
- Let's assume that Osmo Finish has a coverage of 350 sq ft/tin. Then, the calculation would be: Coverage Area = (10 ft x 12 ft / 350 sq ft/tin) = 0.8889 sq ft/tin.
- This means that one tin of Osmo Finish will cover 88.89% of the wall's surface area.

Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

- Suppose you have a door that measures 3 feet by 6 feet, and you want to know how many tins of Osmo Finish you will need to cover it.
- Using the same formula, we can calculate the coverage area as follows: Coverage Area = (3 ft x 6 ft / X sq ft/tin), where X is the coverage per unit area of Osmo Finish.
- Let's assume that Osmo Finish has a coverage of 400 sq ft/tin. Then, the calculation would be: Coverage Area = (3 ft x 6 ft / 400 sq ft/tin) = 0.15 sq ft/tin.
- This means that one tin of Osmo Finish will cover 15% of the door's surface area.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to calculate the coverage area of a surface using Osmo Interior Finishes. We explored the formula for calculating coverage area, and applied it to real-world scenarios. By understanding the coverage area, we can determine the amount of Osmo Finish needed to cover a specific surface area. This skill can be applied to other types of finishes as well, making it a valuable tool in home improvement and DIY projects.

text: (UNDATED) - Washington has been in an uproar over whether to allow more oil drilling off the Gulf of Mexico and the east and west coasts. But there's an estimated 12-million barrels of oil still in the ground in Indiana.. At least 65 Indiana counties produce oil or gas, and Southwest Indiana is practically brimming with oil deposits. The problem is, it's not a single oilfield, but several small pockets of oil. That means you'd have to set up multiple oil rigs to get at it, which drives up the cost and eliminates the economies of scale that make drilling profitable.. Indiana Petroleum Association Executive Director Maggie Mcshane says the big oil companies pulled out of Indiana in the '80s and '90s. But rising prices have lured a growing handful of small independent companies. Their efforts amount to one-tenth of one-percent of domestic production.. The 12-million barrels in the ground represents the same fraction of total U.S.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Oil Drilling

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Oil drilling is the process of extracting petroleum (oil) from the ground. It involves the use of specialized equipment and techniques to reach and remove oil from underground reservoirs. The process can be expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous, but it is essential for meeting our energy needs.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Indiana is home to an estimated 12-million barrels of oil still in the ground. However, due to the nature of the oil deposits, it is not economically viable to extract them using traditional methods. This has led some small independent companies to explore alternative methods, such as fracking, to access the oil.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

The demand for oil is constantly changing, and its price fluctuates accordingly. As a result, oil companies must carefully consider when and where to drill for oil. In some cases, they may choose to invest in areas with higher potential rewards, even if the initial costs are higher.

Glossary:
- Oil: A fossil fuel that is used for heating, transportation, and generating electricity.
- Petroleum: Another term for oil.
- Oil deposits: Areas underground where oil is trapped.
- Oil rigs: Large machines used to drill for oil.
- Fracking: A technique used to extract oil and natural gas from deep underground.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the process of oil drilling and the challenges associated with extracting oil from different types of deposits. We also explored how oil prices and market conditions affect the decision-making of oil companies. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the complexities of the energy industry and make informed decisions about our own energy consumption.

[Characteristics of dental hard tissues in chronic kidney disease: morphology, chemical composition, possibilities of remineralizing therapy].
The aim of the work was an assessment of the morphological structure and chemical composition of dental hard tissues in persons suffering from chronic kidney disease and the effectiveness of remineralizing therapy in them. The study of the morphological structure and chemical composition of dental hard tissues in individuals suffering from chronic kidney disease and the effectiveness of 6 weeks of remineralizing therapy in the course of individual oral hygiene in combination with the intake of vitamin-mineral complex was conducted by means of ABT-55 electron microscope (Japan) combined with a LinkAN-10 000/S85 microprobe (United Kingdom) in comparison with persons without somatic pathology. It has been established that in people suffering from chronic kidney disease dental hard tissues morphological features were determined by their pathological changes due to carious process or non-carious lesions. In chronic kidney disease a significant decrease in the level of mineralization in both enamel and dentin was found, which was most pronounced in patients with chronic renal failure and did not depend on whether they received hemodialysis. The use of remineralizing therapy in people with chronic kidney disease within the framework of individual oral hygiene combined with a vitamin-mineral complex intake for 6 weeks significantly contributed to an increase in the Ca/P ratio in tooth enamel and may be seen as a useful tool for prevention of dental hard tissues pathology in the patient's group.
