Uriel

**Uriel** (, , , meaning “God is my light” or “fire of God”) is an archangel in Jewish and Christian traditions. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Anglicans call him “Saint Uriel the Archangel” or simply “Saint Uriel”.

## In Judaism and Christianity 
The Roman Catholic Church only recognizes three archangels which are mentioned in the Bible: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. But according to the certain rabbinic and Christian traditions, there are four or even seven archangels, Uriel is generally the fourth. In the Deuterocanonical book 2 Esdras, Uriel is sent by God to answer the questions which are asked by Ezra.

The role of Uriel in Christian apocryphal traditions is different from answering Ezra's questions. He is said to have rescued John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents(the murder of all boys under the age of two in the area of Bethlehem) as a child and reunited him and his mother Saint Elizabeth with John's cousin, Jesus. This is shown in Leonardo da Vinci's painting *Virgin of the Rocks.*

Uriel is often described as a cherub and the angel of repentance  and is the angel at the Gate of Eden. In *The Apocalypse of Peter*, Uriel is shown to be as cruel as any demon when enforcing repentance. He is also supposed to be one of the angels that buried Adam and Abel in Eden.

Song rhythm tracks

**Song Rhythm Tracks** are musician's backing tracks that are composed entirely of percussion and/or drums and arranged for a song. They do not include any harmony or melody parts. They are neither (i) traditional song backing tracks, which include harmonic accompaniment, nor (ii) traditional rhythm tracks, which are not arranged for a song.

## Uses 
Musicians, including singers, use these tracks to support both their practice and performance of popular song. Typical musical genres represented are pop, blues, jazz, folk and Latin, but any genre may be included that uses a constant pulse. The tracks provide higher-quality rhythmic backing due to being arranged for the song the musician plays. This has advantages over traditional (none song-arranged) rhythm tracks because the musical form of the song is followed by the rhythm.

Not only would one person play along with a track, but a few people could join in. If they are lucky, they may just come up with a killer song.

## Comparisons in use 
Full song backing tracks provide a fuller arrangement of a song than song rhythm tracks do but they may be limited in the facilities to re-arrange / re-mix the backing track. For instance, there might be instruments included that the musicians wish to remove from the mix. Song Rhythm Tracks can be used as the basis for an arrangement generally without requirements of re-arranging the song rhythm tracks. Full song backing tracks are often used by singers as their sole accompaniment. Song rhythm tracks are used by single, or groups of, musicians that do not have a drummer.

As rhythmic backing does not include harmony, song rhythm tracks are simpler arrangements than full song backing and are arranged to the musical sectional and chorus structure of the song. These arrangements may be comparable to a drummer's accompaniment and can be used as the rhythm tracks in productions without additional arranging.

Severance package

A **severance package** is pay and benefits employees receive when they leave employment at a company. In addition to their remaining regular pay, it may include some of the following:

* Any additional payment based on months of service
* Payment for unused accrued PTO  vacation time Holiday pay or sick leave.  In some states such as California, in order for a severance agreement to be valid, the severance pay offered must be more than just PTO, vacation, or holiday pay.  Those benefits have to be "cashed out" when an employee leaves and must be provided regardless of whether or not an employee signs a severance agreement.
* A payment in lieu of a required notice period.
* Medical, dental or life insurance
* Retirement accounts (such as 401(k)) or 403(b) benefits
* Stock options
* Assistance in searching for new work, such as access to employment services or help in producing a résumé.

Packages are most typically offered for employees who are laid off or retire. Sometimes, they may be offered for those who either resign, regardless of the circumstances, or are fired. 

Policies for severance packages are often found in a company's employee handbook, and in many countries, they are subject to strict government regulation.

Pulmonary fibrosis

**Pulmonary fibrosis** (literally "scarring of the lungs") is a restrictive respiratory disease in which scars are formed in the lung tissues, leading to serious breathing problems. Scar formation, the addition of extra fibrous connective tissue (the process called fibrosis), leads to thickening of the walls, and causes low oxygen supply in the blood.

As a result, patients suffer from shortness of breath.

In some patients the cause of the disease can be diagnosed, but in others the cause is unknown, a condition called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. There is no known cure for the scars and damage in the lung due to pulmonary fibrosis.
