Title: Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol Content: The Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol (often called CIWA or CIWA-Ar (an updated version)), is a scale used to measure alcohol withdrawal symptoms.Assessment of alcohol withdrawal: the revised Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol Scale (CIWA-Ar). Br J Addict 1989;84:1353–7 The scale lists ten common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Based on how bad a person's symptoms are, each of these is assigned a number. All ten numbers are added up to make one final score. The highest possible score is 67. Higher scores are a sign of more severe alcohol withdrawal: * Scores of 15 or less usually mean a person is having mild alcohol withdrawal; * Scores of 16-20 usually mean moderate alcohol withdrawal; and * Scores over 20 usually mean severe alcohol withdrawal. The CIWA is used not just to measure how bad withdrawal symptoms are, but also to guide decisions about what treatments to give, like when to give benzodiazepines. ==The CIWA Scale== The CIWA measures ten of the most common signs and symptoms of alcohol withdrawal: *Nausea and vomiting *Tremor *Paroxysmal sweats (sweats that come and go) *Anxiety *Agitation (like not being able to stay still) *Tactile disturbances (like feeling burning, itching, or bugs crawling on the skin) *Auditory disturbances (like hearing things louder than usual, hearing scary things, or hearing things that are not there) *Visual disturbances (like lights being too bright, seeing different colors, or seeing things that are not there) *Headache *Orientation and clouded sensorium (for example, if a person does not know who he is, where he is, or what is happening) ==Uses== The CIWA scale is validated, which means it is proven to measure what it means to measure - alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It also has high inter-rater reliability. This means that if more than one medical professional used the CIWA on the same patient, they would get very similar results. Validation and inter-rater reliability are signs of good, accurate tests. Studies have shown that when the CIWA scale is used to guide treatment:Mayo-Smith MF. Pharmacological management of alcohol withdrawal. A meta-analysis and evidence-based practice guideline. American Society of Addiction Medicine Working Group on Pharmacological Management of Alcohol Withdrawal. JAMA. 1997 Jul 9;278(2):144-51. PubMed PMID 9214531. *Medical professionals can identify which patients are having milder withdrawal symptoms, and which are having more severe symptoms. The CIWA helps them do this much more accurately than they might be able to without the scale. *Patients having milder withdrawal are less likely to be given benzodiazepines that they do not need (this is important because benzodiazepines are addictive) *Patients having very bad withdrawal are less likely to be under-treated (not be given enough treatment) ==Related pages== *Alcohol withdrawal *Alcoholism
Title: Firework Content: thumb|250px|Preparing fireworks at Sayn Castle A firework is an explosive pyrotechnic device that is used mostly for entertainment. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. Fireworks (devices) are made to have these four effects: They make noise, light, smoke, and sometimes produce floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks. Displays are common throughout the world and are a main point of many different cultural and religious festivals. Independence Day, New Year's Eve and Guy Fawkes Night are examples. Some fireworks are ground-based, and others are shot into the air. Because they explode and can cause fires or burns, most countries have laws that only allow trained professionals to use display fireworks. Smaller, less explosive fireworks are available to regular, everyday people, but they are still dangerous and cause injuries each year. == History == thumb|The grand finale showing also the jets that produce power. A picture taken from the back so the stars and flowers are not so clearly visible. Fireworks dates back to the 7th century and originated in China. The Chinese developed many different kinds of fireworks with a variety of effects and color.Temple, Robert K.G. 2007. The genius of China: 3,000 years of science, discovery, and invention. 3rd ed, London: André Deutsch, 256-265. The art and science of firework making developed into an independent profession. In China, pyrotechnicians were respected for their knowledge of complex techniques in mounting firework displays. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), many of the common people could purchase various kinds of fireworks from market vendors,Gernet, Jacques 1962. Daily life in China on the eve of the Mongol invasion, 1250-1276. Translated by H.M. Wright. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 186. . and grand displays of fireworks were also known to be held. In 1110, a large fireworks display in a martial demonstration was held to entertain Emperor Huizong of Song (r. 1100-1125) and his court. A record from 1264 states that a rocket-propelled firework went off near the Empress Dowager Gong Sheng and startled her during a feast held in her honor by her son Emperor Lizong of Song (r. 1224–1264).Crosby, Alfred W. 2002. Throwing fire: projectile technology through history. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 100–103.

In 1240 the Arabs acquired knowledge of gunpowder and its uses from China. A Syrian named Hasan al-Rammah wrote of rockets, fireworks, and other incendiaries, using terms that suggested he derived his knowledge from Chinese sources, such as his references to fireworks as "Chinese flowers".Kelly, Jack 2004.

It is the only species in its genus. == Description == The serval has the longest legs of all cats, relative to its size.African Wildlife Foundation Not only can it run fast, but it is an amazing jumper: two to three metres from a standing start. Its length as an adult is about 32 inches (body) and 16 inches (tail). It weighs about four pounds.Sayer, Angela & Findlay, Michael 1979. The encyclopedia of the cat. London: Chancellor, p30/31.

It is lightly built, with very large ears and long legs. The back of the ears is black with a big white spot, and the tip of the tail is black. These signs serve as signals to other servals, including kittens. === Habitat === The serval needs access to water, and dense grassland. Reed beds, scrub or high grass are typical habitats. It is territorial. == Hunting and diet == thumb|right|220px|A serval from the Sabi Sands area of South Africa. The large ears help to hear small prey in the grass The serval is nocturnal, and hunts mostly at night. The serval is an opportunistic predator whose diet includes rodents, hares, hyraxes, birds, reptiles, insects, fish, and frogs.Serval: San Diego Zoo factsheet As part of its adaptations for hunting in the savannas, the serval's long legs help it achieve a top speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), and has large ears with acute hearing. Its long legs and neck allow the serval to see over tall grasses, while its ears are used to detect prey, even those burrowing underground. Servals have been known to dig into burrows in search of underground prey, and to leap 2 to 3 metres (7 to 10 ft) into the air to grab birds in flight.Sunquist, Mel & Sunquist, Fiona 2002. Wild cats of the World. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. pp. 142–151. Using its spectacular jumping ability, the serval leaps into the air and bats the bird with its front paws. When the bird is on the ground, it bites its neck, killing it. Like most cats, the serval is a solitary animal. It travels as much as each night in search of food. The female defends home ranges of , depending on local prey availability. The male defends larger territories of , and marks its territory by spraying urine onto bushes.

Title: Brass instrument Content: thumb|Trumpets A brass instrument is a musical instrument that you play by blowing through a mouthpiece to change the pitch, or note. Brass players use their breath to produce sound. Instead of blowing into a reed, they vibrate their lips by buzzing them against a metal cup-shaped mouthpiece. The mouthpiece helps to amplify the buzzing, which creates the sound. Most brass instruments have valves attached to their long pipes; the valves look like buttons. Pressing on the valves makes them open and close different parts of the pipe. With brass instruments, the sound starts at the lips. Their mouthpieces just help your lips buzz. It does not matter if the instrument is really made of brass, as long as it works that way. It is not important what the instrument is made of. Some brass instruments are really made of wood, but are still called brass instruments, like the serpent. Other instruments are made of brass but do not work like this, like the saxophone. They are not called brass instruments, because they don't work that way. There are also parts of the instrument that change the resonance and thus the pitch, like slides or valves. A brass band is a group of brass instruments and drums that play music together. They are often used to play for parades and processions because the players can march and play at the same time. Brass bands were very popular in England. Many factories and coal mines had their own bands. The workers would play in the bands after work. One famous band is the Grimethorpe Colliery Band. == List of brass instruments == * Bugle * Baritone horn * Trumpet * Cornet * Piccolo trumpet * Flugelhorn * French horn * Mellophone * Euphonium * Trombone * Tuba * Sousaphone (American Tuba) * Cimbasso * Hunting horn * Serpent

Title: Extinct in the Wild Content: thumb|right|Picture showing Extinct in the Wild with other IUCN categories. Extinct in the Wild (EW) is a conservation status given to a species, a group of plants or animals, when the only known living members are being kept in captivity (kept in a zoo or aquarium, or planted in pots), or they are no longer living in their normal habitat. == Species examples == Examples of such animals include: *Abingdon Island Tortoise *Red-tailed Black Shark *Père David's Deer *Barbary Lion (extinct in the wild since 1922) *Wyoming Toad (extinct in the wild since 1991) *Hawaiian Crow (extinct in the wild since 2002) *Alagoas Curassow (extinct in the wild since 1987 or 1988) *Socorro Dove (extinct in the wild since 1972) *Guam Rail (extinct in the wild since 1980) *Black Soft-shell Turtle *Butterfly Goodeid *Guam kingfisher *Kihansi spray toad *Northern White Rhinoceros *Partula *Scimitar Oryx *Spix's Macaw == Reintroduction == Reintroduction is the release of species back into the wild. They come from captivity or moved from other areas where the species survives. It usually involves species that are endangered or extinct in the wild. It is very hard to reintroduce EW species into the wild, even if their natural habitats were fixed. The main reason may be that the survival skills, which are passed from parents to offspring during parenting, are lost. In other words, the genetics of the species are saved, but the natural skills of the species are lost. Category:Extinction

The user adds detergent (liquids or powders) to clean clothes more effectively. ==Operation== Washing machines have ways to control how the machine operates. Some of the possible controls are: * temperature of the water * time of the wash cycle (before the soapy, dirty water is rinsed out) * number of wash cycles before completing == Types of washing machines == Washing machines may be fully automatic or partly automatic. === Semi-Automatic Washing Machines === Semi-automatic washing machines have separate sections for Dryer and Washer. These washing machines are often termed as semi-manual as here you have to manually put clothes into washer tub, put water & detergent according to your laundry size, and once washing is finished, you again have to manually put washed clothes for drying in dryer section. These are mostly cheaper machines. === Fully-Automatic Washing Machines === Fully-automatic washing machines are easier to use. They have only one section for washing and for spin-drying. Once you put clothes in a fully-automatic washing machine, it automatically takes required quantity of water, detergent and just with one click provided your washed & dry clothes. Washing machines may load from the top or the front. left|thumb|A top loading washing machine. === Front loading === A front loading washing machine has a door in the front. The clothes to be washed have to be put in and the door closed before the barrel can fill with water. This type of machine can have a clothes drying machine stacked on top to save space on the floor. Because of the water used, the washing machine is heavier than the dryer so the washer is at the bottom. thumb|An example of a stacked arrangement: a top loading washing machine and clothes dryer. === Top loading === With a top loading washing machine, the opening is at the top. The barrel can be filled with water and soap before the clothes are put in for washing. This type of machine can not have anything placed on top of it because of the opening there. == Stacked washer and dryer == Sometimes a washing machine and a clothes dryer are put together. The washing machine is usually on the bottom of the stack because the water in it makes the machine heavier than the dryer. In this arrangement the washing machine may be front- loading or top-loading. For the top-loading washing machine, room must be left to open the door at the top to add the clothing to be washed. A front-loading washing machine can have the dryer sitting on top of it.

Title: Han dynasty Content: The Han dynasty came to power in 202 BC. They followed the philosophies of Confucianism and legalism. This was called 'the Han synthesis'. Under this dynasty, China made progress in arts and science. The empire also became larger and larger. China started trading with a number of other countries. They started the Silk Road. Merchants used the Silk Road to reach China. During this dynasty Buddhism was introduced in China. Today, the dominant ethnic group of China calls themselves the Han Chinese since this was the dynasty where many of the norms of Chinese culture found a firm foundation in the culture, including Confucianism and Chinese characters. The first emperor of the Han dynasty is Liu Bang, known in Chinese as Emperor Gaozu of Han. The Han dynasty was considered the golden age of early china. The Han dynasty ruled China from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D. The new emperor maintained a legalist ideology just like the Qin dynasty but also had ideas of Confucianism to have a centralized system showing benevolence. After eighty years, Emperor Wu of Han launched a period of military expansion. The Han armies controlled many territories, including Silk Road in Mongolia and Xinjiang. The Silk Road helped make a political, economic, military, and culture center, but it was very expensive to manage and further expansion was cut off. Several factors contributed to the fall of the Han dynasty, including uprisings of desperate and hungry people, the spread of attacks by nomadic groups, and official corruption. == Literature == Fairbank, John King and Merle Goldman 1992.

Title: David Livingstone Content: David Livingstone (19 March 1813 – 4 May 1873) was a Scottish medical missionary with the London Missionary Society. He wanted to be a missionary, but he could not get many people to convert to Christian beliefs, so instead, he explored and charted much of southern and eastern Africa. He gave the Victoria Falls their name. He named them after his queen, Queen Victoria. == In Africa == As an explorer, Livingstone had some advantages. He usually travelled lightly, and he was able to reassure chiefs that he was not a threat. Other expeditions had many soldiers armed with rifles, and even more people hired to carry supplies. They were often seen as military incursions or were mistaken for slave-raiding parties. Livingstone travelled on most of his journeys with a few servants and porters, bartering for supplies along the way. He only had a couple of guns for protection. He preached a Christian message but did not force it on unwilling ears. He understood the ways of local chiefs, and got permission to go through their territory. He was often hospitably received and aided, even by Mwata Kazembe.Blaikie, William Garden 1880. The personal life of David Livingstone. Project Gutenberg E-book #13262. Livingstone believed in trade, and wanted to see Christian missions established in central Africa. His motto on the base of the statue dedicated to him at Victoria Falls, was "Christianity, Commerce and Civilization". The reason he emphasised these three was that they would form an alternative to the slave trade, which was still rampant in Africa at that time. It would give the Africans some dignity when they met Europeans. The abolition of the African slave trade was his main hope.Stephen Tomkins (2013), David Livingstone, The Unexplored Story, Oxford Lion. Around this time he believed the key to achieving these goals was the navigation of the Zambezi River as a Christian commercial highway into the interior.Tim Holmes: "The History" in: Spectrum Guide to Zambia. Camerapix International Publishers, Nairobi (1996) He returned to Britain to try to get support for his ideas, and to publish a book on his travels. The book brought him fame as one of the leading explorers of the age. Livingstone died near a lake, in what is now Zambia. center|thumb|550px|The journeys of Livingstone in Africa between 1851 and 1873 == Works == *Livingstone, David (1905) [1857].
