"How to help an overweight childBy Jack Cox, Pure Matters",
"And it's rampant.",
"Almost one child in five is overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",
"One out of four obese children will likely be obese as adults.",
"And as many as 80 percent of obese preteens and teens will be obese as adults.",
"Researchers place much of the blame on fast food and a sedentary childhood.",
"Kids today spend an increasing amount of time watching TV, playing video games, or sitting at the computer.",
"Schools have cut back or eliminated physical education classes in favor of more academic subjects.",
"Busy families often let nutrition slide, as they rely on fast-food meals and junk food snacks.",
"Although genetics may predispose a person to obesity, it largely stems from a combination of poor eating and exercise habits, so both must be addressed.",
"In addition, a healthy food relationship is a foundation for weight control.",
"Use food to meet basic nutritional needs and do not use it to meet other emotional and physical needs.",
"What to do- Set realistic goals.",
"Talk with your pediatrician or family doctor about healthy ways for your child to lose weight.- Offer healthy snack alternatives.",
"Keep fresh fruit and raw vegetables on hand instead of chips.- Teach moderation.",
"One cookie is OK--not eight.",
"Don't order your child a super-sized fast-food meal.- Get your child moving.",
"Exercise as a family and encourage your child to be active every day.",
"Build up to 60 minutes of vigorous activity every day as recommended by the 2005 guidelines for nutrition and exercise from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.- Change habits.",
"For example, just switching from whole to skim milk can help.",
"Serve unsweetened cereal and allow the child to sweeten with Equal or Splenda or other no-calorie sweetener.",
"Sugared sodas and fruit drinks are a common unrecognized source of high caloric intake.",
"Eliminating these drinks or switching to diet drinks will help.",
"- Start early.",
"Healthy food and physical activity foundations need to be molded early in childhood.",
"- Set an example.",
"As a parent, are you eating right and exercising?",
"In general, the goal for overweight children who are still growing is not to lose weight, but rather to slow down their weight gain and allow their growth to catch up.",
"Research has shown time spent watching television, playing video games, or sitting in front of the computer correlates with the risk for obesity.",
"Also, having a TV or computer in the child's bedroom is an additional risk factor for obesity.",
"Limit TV time to 30 minutes per day for young children and one hour a day for preadolescents and teens.",
"Take the TV or computer out of the child's bedroom.",
"Consult a pediatric dietitian for additional assistance.",
"To locate one in your area, visit the American Dietetic Association website at www.eatright.org.",

"Child Panic Attack – Comforting Your Child in Time of NeedPanic and anxiety attacks are not just affecting adults, children can get them too.",
"The difference between a child panic attack and an adult panic attack is that the child panic attack is much harder to diagnose.",
"They are often misunderstood as ADD or some other ailment.",

"This can happen to any child–especially at school, one of the most stressful places in a child’s life.",
"These panic attacks can also be quite specific as well depending on the lifestyle of the child and what they are accustomed to.",

"The first is dealing with a separation of their parents.",
"This seems to have the largest effect on boys and can cause a good deal of anxiety for them.",
"The second common trigger is a lack of attention from either the child’s parents or friends at school.",
"Children thrive on regular attention when they are growing up and if they don’t get enough of it, they can sometimes feel anxious.",
"A child that may have experienced some other form of trauma or abuse may feel shy or otherwise withdrawn.",

"Physically, a child may experience intense sweating or difficulty breathing comfortably.",
"Psychological symptoms can be challenging to pin down, but are commonly associated with some form of abuse or neglect.",
"Children often don’t know what they are going through and thus it is difficult for them to explain it.",
"Sometimes children may have agoraphobia or some type of social anxiety.",
"Parents should take extra care if they suspect that the child panic attack may be indicating some other physical or mental issues.",
"When you realize that your child may be having a panic attack, you should try to understand the situation and don’t simply brush it off.",

"My question is driven by the plot below.",
"We see that acceptable operating range of a motor is between 50-100% of the rated load.",
"Below 40% or so the efficiency of the motor drops off dramatically.",
"What is the cause of this phenomenon?",
"First, efficiency of an electric motor is just output power divided by input power.",
"Input power is your electrical input power, which is V*I. Output power is your mechanical output power, which is speed*torque.",
"Given that, we can see that efficiency for every motor is going to be 0% at no load (i.e., maximum speed at 0 torque).",
"Efficiency will then increase as torque increases until it reaches a maximum and then it will start to drop off until stall torque is reached.",
"At this point, the efficiency is 0% again because the speed will be zero.",
"The other way to ask your question is why is efficiency low at low loads?",
"Friction is the main cause of inefficiency at low loads.",
"Losses due to friction are essentially constant with respect to load so at low loads, the majority of your input power may be used to overcome friction.",
"As the load increases, friction plays a smaller and smaller roll in the overall efficiency.",
"Granted, other inefficiencies begin to occur at larger loads ($I^2R$ losses, copper losses, stray load losses, etc.)",
"but in a well-designed motor the efficiency will peak in the 80-100% load range."

"Our health information specialists are here to help.",
"Contact us at 800-233-4050 or online.",
"There are significant differences between Section 504 and IDEA.",
"Perhaps the most significant is that Section 504 is a civil rights law, and IDEA is an educational benefit law.",
"Section 504 is designed to level the playing field for individuals with disabilities.",
"Its purpose is to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the same access to education that individuals without disabilities have.",
"It does this by eliminating barriers that exclude individuals with disabilities from participating in protected activities, including a free and appropriate public education.",
"As an educational benefit law, IDEA offers additional services and protections for those with disabilities that are not offered to those without disabilities.",
"These laws are also distinguished by their different eligibility requirements and the benefits they provide.",
"The definition of a disability is much broader under Section 504 than it is under IDEA.",
"All IDEA students are covered by Section 504, where as not all Section 504 students are protected under IDEA.",
"An IEP, which is provided to students covered by IDEA, must be tailored to the child's unique needs and must result in educational benefit.",
"However, a Section 504 Plan provides accommodations based on the child's disability and resulting weaknesses, but does not require academic improvement.",
"Additionally, fewer procedural safeguards are offered to children and parents under Section 504 than under IDEA."

"Scabies is a mite infestation of the skin that produces tiny reddish bumps and severe itching.",
"Scabies is caused by the itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei.",
"The female itch mite tunnels in the topmost layer of the skin and deposits her eggs in burrows.",
"Young mites (larvae) then hatch in a few days.",
"The infestation causes intense itching, probably from an allergic reaction to the mites.",
"The infestation spreads easily from person to person on physical contact, often spreading through an entire household.",
"In rare cases, mites may be spread on clothing, bedding, and other shared objects, but their survival is brief, and normal laundering destroys them.",
"Symptoms and DiagnosisThe hallmark of scabies is intense itching, which is usually worse at night.",
"The burrows of the mites are often visible as very thin lines up to 1/2 inch (about 1 centimeter) long, sometimes with a tiny bump at one end.",
"Sometimes, only tiny bumps are seen, many of which are scratched open because of the itching.",
"The burrows can be anywhere on the body except the face.",
"Common sites are the webs between the fingers and toes, the wrists, ankles, buttocks, nipples, and, in males, the genitals.",
"Over time, the burrows may become difficult to see because they are obscured by inflammation induced by scratching.",
"People with a weakened immune system may develop severe infestations, which produce large areas of thickened, crusted skin.",
"Usually, itching and the appearance of burrows are all that are needed to make a diagnosis of scabies.",
"However, doctors can confirm the presence of mites, eggs, or mite feces by taking a scraping from the bumps or burrows and looking at it under a microscope.",
"Scabies can be cured by applying a cream containing 5% permethrin, which is left on the skin overnight and then washed off.",
"For older children and adults, lindane lotion is an alternative.",
"With either drug, a second treatment is required a week later.",
"Ivermectin taken by mouth in two doses given a week apart also is effective and is especially helpful for severe infestations in people with a weakened immune system.",
"Even after successful treatment, itching may persist for 2 to 4 weeks because of a continued allergic reaction to the mite bodies, which remain in the skin for a while.",
"The itching can be treated with mild corticosteroid cream and antihistamines taken by mouth (see Itching and Noninfectious Rashes: Treatment).",
"Occasionally, the skin irritation and deep scratches lead to a bacterial infection, which may require antibiotics given by mouth.",
"Family members and people who have had close physical contact, such as sexual contact, with a person with scabies should be treated as well.",
"Clothing and bedding used during the preceding few days should be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer or dry cleaned.",

"Johnson was a money lender, some might say a loan shark.",

"“Bottom line, William Johnson was a gambler,” adds Schoby, who could make drying paint a lively topic.",

"That year a tornado leveled downtown Natchez, built mostly of timbers, and Johnson was busy salvaging the bricks from a toppled hotel.",
"He used some of the brick to build the house you can now tour, and he sold the rest to builders who wanted more tornado insurance.",
"“He was not a man to miss an opportunity.”",
"Johnson’s story ended badly, his diary abruptly.",
"A neighbor, Baylor Winn, had been selling timber from land both men claimed.",
"Johnson hired surveyors to determine the boundary.",

"Before he died, Johnson identified his murderer.",
"The only witnesses to the crime were Johnson’s son, a slave and a mulatto boy.",
"Under Mississippi law, none of the three could testify against Winn, who claimed to be white.",
"After two trials and failing to prove Winn mulatto, prosecutors dropped the case and the murderer walked free.",

"How does the ear work?",
"The ear works by receiving sound waves and sending messages to the brain.",
"The outer ear includes the part of the ear you can see and the ear canal.",
"The sound waves go through the ear canal and hit the eardrum and cause it to vibrate.",
"The vibration of the eardrum causes the tiny bones in the ear to move.",
"This movement sends the sound waves to the inner ear.",
"What causes earaches?",
"A tube called the eustachian (say: \"you-stay-shun\") tube connects the middle ear with the back of the nose.",
"Normally this tube lets fluid drain out of the middle ear.",
"If bacteria or viruses infect the lining of your child’s eustachian tube, the tube gets swollen and fills with thick mucus.",
"This keeps fluid in the ear from draining normally.",
"Bacteria can grow in the fluid, increasing pressure behind the eardrum and causing pain.",
"The eustachian tubes can become blocked because of allergies, a cold or other infection.",
"In other cases, the adenoids (glands near the ear) become enlarged and block the eustachian tubes.",
"Acute ear infections usually clear up within 1 or 2 weeks.",
"Sometimes, ear infections last longer and become chronic.",
"After an infection, fluid may stay in the middle ear.",
"This may lead to more infections and hearing loss.",
"Anatomy of the earWhy are earaches so common in children?",
"This may be because children's eustachian tubes are shorter and more narrow than those of adults.",
"Most children will have at least 1 ear infection by their third birthday.",
"What is otitis media with effusion?",
"Otitis media with effusion means that there is fluid (effusion) in the middle ear.",
"The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum.",
"Fluid in the middle ear usually doesn't bother children.",
"It almost always goes away on its own in a few weeks to a few months.",
"So, this kind of ear problem doesn't usually need to be treated with antibiotics, unless the fluid doesn't go away.",

"Reports of sharks with abnormalities are so rare that it's commonly thought they do not get cancer.",
"Sharks have cartilage instead of bones, and lack bone marrow where humans produce immune cells.",
"Sharks produce their immune cells in the spleen, thymus, esophagus and in unique tissues associated with the gonads.",
"Since these immune cells circulate in the bloodstream, they offer a more efficient immune response.",

"Themes, Motifs, and SymbolsLanguage As Connection to SocietyThroughout Surfacing, the narrator’s feeling of powerlessness is coupled with an inability to use language.",

"Similarly, when the search party comes for her, she cannot understand their speech, and her only defense from them is flight.",
"Words betray her, as it is by yelling that the search party discovers her.",
"The narrator maintains the false hope that she can reject human language just as she imagines she can reject human society.",
"She admires how animals know the types of plants without naming them.",
"When she goes mad, she vows not to teach her child language—yet eventually she conquers her alienation by embracing language.",
"The Total Alienation of WomenAtwood uses the narrator’s near-constant feeling of alienation to comment on the alienation of all women.",
"The narrator feels abandoned by her parents because of the disappearance of her father and the detachment of her mother.",
"She finds men especially alienating because of the way they control women through religion, marriage, birth control, sex, language, and birth.",
"She depicts the way that men view relationships as a war, with women as the spoils.",
"The narrator also describes her alienation as systematic, highlighting the way that children learn gender roles early on in life.",
"The result of the narrator’s alienation is madness and complete withdrawal.",
"The narrator remains unnamed, making her a universal figure and suggesting that all women are in some way alienated.",
"Atwood packs Surfacing with images of Americans invading and ruining Canada.",
"The Americans install missile silos, pepper the village with tourist cabins, leave trash everywhere, and kill for sport.",
"David even goes so far as to theorize an American invasion of Canada for Canadian fresh water.",
"Atwood depicts American expansion as a result of psychological and cultural infiltration.",
"The narrator calls Americans a brain disease, linking American identity to behaviors rather than nationality.",
"To the narrator, an American is anyone who commits senseless violence, loves technology, or over-consumes.",
"David claims he hates Americans, yet he loves baseball and imitates Woody Woodpecker.",
"Atwood depicts American expansion as destructive and a corruptive psychological influence.",
"The narrator mentions power several times before going mad and actively seeking “the power.”",
"In Chapter 4, she remembers thinking that seeds from a certain plant will make her all-powerful.",
"In Chapter 9, she says that doctors pretend childbirth is their power and not the mother’s.",
"In Chapter 15, she remembers alternately pretending to be a helpless animal and an animal with power.",
"The narrator’s later quest for “the power” emphasizes her response to alienation.",
"Ever since childhood, she has been isolated and emotionally numb, crippled by unsuitable religious ideals and gender roles.",
"The narrator’s psychotic search for “the power” represents the false hope that by withdrawing from society she can regain her humanity.",
"Ultimately, the narrator gains power by resolving not to be powerless.",
"She acknowledges that in order to function in society, she must learn to love and communicate.",
"The narrator’s quest for “the power” is similar to her anxiety over social alienation.",
"Paul’s wooden barometer, which features a wooden man and woman inside, becomes an unfortunately accurate emblem of marriage for the narrator.",

"Initially, the narrator views the barometer couple as representative of a simplistic and even empty marriage, and she compares them to Paul and Madame.",
"She mentions how Paul and Madame even look wooden.",
"The narrator later compares the barometer couple to Anna and David in that the wooden couple, like Anna and David’s happiness, is not real.",
"The narrator also thinks of the barometer in relation to her parents.",
"She compares the image of the barometer with the image of her mother and father sawing a piece of birch.",
"The image of the birch is evocative because the narrator associates birches with unspoiled nature.",
"The implication is that the barometer represents an unattainable, unrealistic version of love, whereas her parents possess true love.",
"The Hanged HeronThe hanged heron at the portage represents the American destruction of nature.",
"The narrator obsesses over the senselessness of its slaughter, especially that it was hanged and not buried.",
"The heron’s death emphasizes that the narrator defines someone as American based on his or her actions.",
"She condemns any act of senseless violence or waste as distinctly American.",
"That the bird is killed with a bullet and hanged using a nylon rope emphasizes the subversion of nature to technology.",
"Also, the narrator thinks of the hanged bird as a Christ-like sacrifice, which reflects Christian ideology.",
"By using Christian ideas to describe nature, the narrator emphasizes her near-religious reverence for nature.",
"The narrator also compares herself to the heron during her madness, when she worries that the search party will hang her by the feet.",
"By associating the narrator with the hanged heron, Atwood associates the way Americans destroy nature with the way men control women.",
"Anna’s makeup, which David demands she wear at all times, represents the large-scale subjugation of women.",
"The narrator compares Anna to a doll when she sees her putting on makeup, because Anna becomes David’s sexual plaything.",
"At the same time, makeup represents female deception.",
"Anna uses makeup as a veneer of beauty, and the behavior is representative of the way she acts virtuous (but sleeps with other men) and happy (but feels miserable).",

"Social phobia usually starts early in life, and it may continue well into adulthood.",
"Many people are anxious about public speaking, meeting new people or even eating in front of others.",
"For someone with social phobia, these types of situations may trigger extreme fear.",

"The device is shaped more like a playing card than a leaf, but is thinner and made from silicon.",
"If it is placed in a gallon of water in bright sunlight, the artificial leaf splits water molecules into their component gases: hydrogen and oxygen.",

"Sociology term paper writing is done by a sociology student mainly and concerns a particular topic related to the study of human societies.",
"Writing this type of college research paper is educational and should be normally different from writing for a simple presentation or giving out ideas for a work.",
"Writing a piece of work like this should be an engrossing task and can take the following course.",
"The work should start with one or two paragraphs outlining a topic to be dealt with or an issue or issues you are writing on.",

"Also include in the abstract some reasoning in support of the point you want to address.",
"Next is the organization of the body of the college term paper.",
"This is a part where all major ideas and their logical analysis are presented.",
"It is recommended that every point should have a separate paragraph and where possible, linking sentences must connect one paragraph with another.",
"Your research paper introduction must smoothly verge into the main body which is expanding on the topic.",
"Be careful not to get off the point or change the subject matter.",
"Your title is the key to your work.",
"It should be clear, exact and appealing.",
"If you intend to organize your writing demonstrably, then you should use subtitles or headings.",
"This will not only present the different issues to be discussed, but will equally give an organization to your work.",
"Remember that physical presentation of the work is something that draws the attention of the reader and makes them want to proceed to the next page.",
"The diagrams, graphs and tables (if any) must be clear and free from verbose sentences.",
"However, in the main body a sociologist must use as many utterances pertaining to the subject as possible.",

"THREE-PHASE ROTATING FIELDSThe three-phase induction motor also operates on the principle of a rotating magnetic field.",
"The following discussion shows how the stator windings can be connected to a three-phase ac input and have a resultant magnetic field that rotates.",
"Figure 4-4, views A-C show the individual windings for each phase.",
"Figure 4-4, view D, shows how the three phases are tied together in a Y-connected stator.",
"The dot in each diagram indicates the common point of the Y-connection.",
"You can see that the individual phase windings are equally spaced around the stator.",
"This places the windings 120° apart.",
"Figure 4-4. - Three-phase, Y-connected stator.",
"The three-phase input voltage to the stator of figure 4-4 is shown in the graph of figure 4-5.",
"Use the left-hand rule for determining the electromagnetic polarity of the poles at any given instant.",
"In applying the rule to the coils in figure 4-4, consider that current flows toward the terminal numbers for positive voltages, and away from the terminal numbers for negative voltages.",
"Figure 4-5. - Three-phase rotating-field polarities and input voltages.",
"The results of this analysis are shown for voltage points 1 through 7 in figure 4-5.",
"At point 1, the magnetic field in coils 1-1A is maximum with polarities as shown.",
"At the same time, negative voltages are being felt in the 2-2A and 3-3A windings.",
"These create weaker magnetic fields, which tend to aid the 1-1A field.",
"At point 2, maximum negative voltage is being felt in the 3-3A windings.",
"This creates a strong magnetic field which, in turn, is aided by the weaker fields in 1-1A and 2-2A.",
"As each point on the voltage graph is analyzed, it can be seen that the resultant magnetic field is rotating in a clockwise direction.",
"When the three-phase voltage completes one full cycle (point 7), the magnetic field has rotated through 360°.",
"ROTOR BEHAVIOR IN A ROTATING FIELDFor purposes of explaining rotor movement, let's assume that we can place a bar magnet in the center of the stator diagrams of figure 4-5.",
"We'll mount this magnet so that it is free to rotate in this area.",
"Let's also assume that the bar magnet is aligned so that at point 1 its south pole is opposite the large N of the stator field.",
"You can see that this alignment is natural.",
"Unlike poles attract, and the two fields are aligned so that they are attracting.",
"Now, go from point 1 through point 7.",
"As before, the stator field rotates clockwise.",
"The bar magnet, free to move, will follow the stator field, because the attraction between the two fields continues to exist.",
"A shaft running through the pivot point of the bar magnet would rotate at the same speed as the rotating field.",
"This speed is known as synchronous speed.",
"The shaft represents the shaft of an operating motor to which the load is attached.",
"Remember, this explanation is an oversimplification.",
"It is meant to show how a rotating field can cause mechanical rotation of a shaft.",
"Such an arrangement would work, but it is not used.",
"There are limitations to a permanent magnet rotor.",
"Practical motors use other methods, as we shall see in the next paragraphs.",
"The construction of the synchronous motors is essentially the same as the construction of the salient-pole alternator.",
"In fact, such an alternator may be run as an ac motor.",
"It is similar to the drawing in figure 4-6.",
"Synchronous motors have the characteristic of constant speed between no load and full load.",
"They are capable of correcting the low power factor of an inductive load when they are operated under certain conditions.",
"They are often used to drive dc generators.",
"Synchronous motors are designed in sizes up to thousands of horsepower.",
"They may be designed as either single-phase or multiphase machines.",
"The discussion that follows is based on a three-phase design.",
"Figure 4-6. - Revolving-field synchronous motor.",
"To understand how the synchronous motor works, assume that the application of three-phase ac power to the stator causes a rotating magnetic field to be set up around the rotor.",
"The rotor is energized with dc (it acts like a bar magnet).",
"The strong rotating magnetic field attracts the strong rotor field activated by the dc.",
"This results in a strong turning force on the rotor shaft.",
"The rotor is therefore able to turn a load as it rotates in step with the rotating magnetic field.",
"It works this way once it's started.",
"However, one of the disadvantages of a synchronous motor is that it cannot be started from a standstill by applying three-phase ac power to the stator.",
"When ac is applied to the stator, a high-speed rotating magnetic field appears immediately.",
"This rotating field rushes past the rotor poles so quickly that the rotor does not have a chance to get started.",
"In effect, the rotor is repelled first in one direction and then the other.",
"A synchronous motor in its purest form has no starting torque.",
"It has torque only when it is running at synchronous speed.",
"A squirrel-cage type of winding is added to the rotor of a synchronous motor to cause it to start.",
"The squirrel cage is shown as the outer part of the rotor in figure 4-7.",
"It is so named because it is shaped and looks something like a turnable squirrel cage.",
"Simply, the windings are heavy copper bars shorted together by copper rings.",
"A low voltage is induced in these shorted windings by the rotating three-phase stator field.",
"Because of the short circuit, a relatively large current flows in the squirrel cage.",
"This causes a magnetic field that interacts with the rotating field of the stator.",
"Because of the interaction, the rotor begins to turn, following the stator field; the motor starts.",
"We will run into squirrel cages again in other applications, where they will be covered in more detail.",
"Figure 4-7. - Self-starting synchronous ac motor.",
"To start a practical synchronous motor, the stator is energized, but the dc supply to the rotor field is not energized.",
"The squirrel-cage windings bring the rotor to near synchronous speed.",
"At that point, the dc field is energized.",
"This locks the rotor in step with the rotating stator field.",
"Full torque is developed, and the load is driven.",
"A mechanical switching device that operates on centrifugal force is often used to apply dc to the rotor as synchronous speed is reached.",
"The practical synchronous motor has the disadvantage of requiring a dc exciter voltage for the rotor.",
"This voltage may be obtained either externally or internally, depending on the design of the motor."
