It was usually called dropsy until about the middle of the 20th century.
It is a medical condition, and a sign or symptom.
It is swelling caused when fluid leaks out of the body's capillaries into the tissues.
The fluid builds up and gets trapped in the tissues around the leaking blood vessels.
This causes swelling.
If there is enough swelling, oedema can be seen from outside of the skin.
Oedema can happen in any part of the body.
However, it is easiest to see in the arms and legs, including the hands, ankles, and feet.
Oedema in the arms and legs is called peripheral oedema.
Pulmonary oedema is fluid in the lungs.
Pulmonary oedema is dangerous because having fluid in the lungs makes breathing difficult.
If pulmonary oedema gets bad enough, a person can drown in the fluid.
Oedema in the abdomen is called ascites.
Swelling or puffiness right under the skin
Skin that looks stretched or shiny
Changes in skin color
Aching arms and legs
Stiff joints
Weight gain or weight loss
Blood pressure and pulse rate that are higher than normal
Many things can cause oedema.
When oedema is mild (not very serious), the most common causes are:
Eating too much salt
Staying still for long periods of time
Side effects from some medication
However, oedema can also be a sign of serious disease.
Diseases that can cause edema include:
Congestive heart failure (CHF).
In CHF, the heart does not pump hard enough to send blood throughout the body.
This can cause blood to back up in the arms and legs (causing peripheral oedema).
It can also cause fluid to back up in the lungs (pulmonary oedema).
Liver damage (cirrhosis).
Liver damage can cause fluid to back up in the abdomen (ascites) and the legs.
Kidney problems.
The kidneys' job is to remove extra fluid from the blood.
If the kidneys are not doing this job, the fluid builds up in other parts of the body.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
A DVT is a blood clot inside one of the deep veins in the body, usually deep inside the legs.
Oedema in the legs is one sign of DVT.
Varicose veins.''
If oedema is not very serious, it often goes away on its own.
If a person has mild oedema in an arm or leg, they can often make oedema go away quicker by keeping the arm or leg raised above the level of the heart.
If oedema is more serious, it is treated with medicines called diuretics.
These are medicines which help the body get rid of extra fluid by urinating it out.
United States National Academy of Engineering (NAE), a private, non-profit institution that was founded in 1964.
Election to the NAE is considered the highest achievement in engineering-related fields and often comes as a recognition of a lifetime's worth of accomplishments.
The NAE is part of United States National Academies advising the federal government on engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research.
Engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature.
Pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/implementing innovative approaches to engineering education.
The Academy annually awards three prizes that award $500,000 to the winner.
In a sense these constitute the "Nobel Prizes of Engineering."

Comedians from Tennessee
His work was on the communication and senses of the European honey bee.
He was the first to translate the meaning of the waggle dance.
By doing the dance when they come back to the hive, honey bees indicated where they have found nectar, and other details.
His theory was disputed by other scientists and greeted with skepticism at the time.
Only recently was it definitively proved to be an accurate theoretical analysis.
Bee perception
Sense of smell: Frisch discovered that bees can distinguish various blossoming plants by their scent, and that each bee is “flower constant”.45–51
Polarization pattern: Light scattered in a blue sky forms a pattern of partially polarized ultraviolet light.
This depends on the position of the sun, and is invisible to human eyes.
Each lens unit of a compound eye has a UV receptor, and a UV filter oriented differently in each of these units, so a bee is able to detect this polarization pattern.
A small piece of blue sky is enough for a bee to recognize the pattern changes occurring over the course of a day.
This provides not only directional but also information on the time of day.
Variations in the daytime position of the sun: Karl von Frisch proved that variations in the position of the sun gave bees with a tool for navigation.
They use this capability to get information on the progress of the day deep inside a dark beehive.
This makes it possible for the bees to convey up-to-date directional information during their waggle dance, without having to make a comparison with the sun during long dance phases.
Internal clock: Bees have an internal clock with three different synchronization or timekeeping mechanisms.
If a bee knows the direction to a feeding place found during a morning excursion, it can also find the same location, as well as the precise time at which this source provides food, in the afternoon, based on the position of the sun.137–147
A simple dance called “round dance” is used for nearby flowers.
It means "there is a feeding place near the beehive at 50 to 100 meters".
Blossom scent would also be picked up.
The waggle dance proper is used to give the directions to a source further away.
Other bees follow her as she dances, keeping in touch with their antennae.
The dance takes a figure of eight, with variations such as angle and vigour of wiggles.
The communication is apparently quite effective.

Gustav Stresemann (10 May 1878–3 October 1929) was a German liberal politician.
He was Chancellor and Foreign Minister of Germany during the Weimar Republic.
He shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1926.
Stresemann's politics are hard to define.
Today, he is generally considered one of the most important leaders of Germany and a strong supporter of democracy in the fragile Weimar Republic.
He is noted as one of the first to see European economic integration.
His most important achievement was probably reconciliation between Germany and France, for which he and Aristide Briand received the Peace Prize.
Stresemann was born on 10 May 1878 in the Köpenicker Straße area of southeast Berlin, the youngest of seven children.
His father worked as a beer bottler and distributor, and also ran a small bar out of the family home, as well as renting rooms for extra money.
The family was lower middle class, but relatively well-off for the neighbourhood, and had enough money to give Gustav with a high-quality education.
Stresemann was an excellent student, especially in German literature and poetry.
In an essay written when he left school, he wrote that he would have enjoyed becoming a teacher, but he would only have been qualified to teach languages or the natural sciences, which were not his primary areas of interest.
He entered the University of Berlin in 1897 to study political economy.
During his studies, Stresemann was exposed to the principal political arguments of his day, particularly the German debate about socialism.
During his university years, Stresemann also became active in Burschenschaften movement of student fraternities, and in April 1898 became editor of the Allgemeine Deutsche Universitäts-Zeitung (), a newspaper run by Konrad Kuster, a leader in the liberal part of the Burschenschaften.
His editorials for the paper were often political, and dismissed most political parties as wrong in one way or another.
In these early writings, he combined liberalism with nationalism.
In 1898, Stresemann left the University of Berlin, and went to the University of Leipzig so that he could study for a doctorate.
He completed his studies in January 1901, submitting a thesis on the bottled beer industry in Berlin, which received a relatively high grade.
In 1902 he founded the Saxon Manufacturers' Association.
In 1903 he married Käte Kleefeld (1885-1970), daughter of a wealthy Jewish Berlin businessman.
At that time he was also a member of Friedrich Naumann's National-Social Association.
In 1906 he was elected to the Dresden town council.
Though he had initially worked in trade associations, Stresemann soon became a leader of the National Liberal Party in Saxony.
In 1907, he was elected to the Reichstag, where he soon became a close associate of party chairman Ernst Bassermann.
However, his support of more social-welfare programmess was not popular with some of the party's more conservative members, and he lost his post in the party's executive committee in 1912.
Later that year he lost both his Reichstag and town council seats.
In 1914 he returned to the Reichstag.
He was exempted from war service due to poor health.
With Bassermann kept away from the Reichstag by either illness or military service, Stresemann soon became the National Liberals' de facto leader.
After Bassermann's death in 1917, Stresemann succeeded him as party leader.
His political ideas grew and changed.
At first, in the German Empire, Stresemann was on the left wing of the National Liberals.
During World War I, he gradually moved to the right.
He supported the monarchy and Germany's expansionist goals.
He also spoke in support of unrestricted submarine warfare.
However, he still favoured an expansion of the social welfare programme, and also supported allowing more ordinary Prussians to vote.
When the Allies' peace terms became known, Constantin Fehrenbach denounced them and claimed "the will to break the chains of slavery would be implanted" into a generation of Germans.
Stresemann said of this speech: "He was inspired in that hour by God to say what was felt by the German people.
His words, spoken under Fichte's portrait, the final words of which merged into “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles”, made it an unforgettably solemn hour.
There was in that sense a kind of uplifting grandeur.
The impression left on all was tremendous".
Stresemann briefly joined the German Democratic Party after the war, but was expelled for his association with the right wing.
He then gathered most of the right wing of the old National Liberal Party into the German People's Party (, DVP), with himself as chairman.
Most of its support came from middle class and upper class Protestants.
The DVP platform promoted Christian family values, non-religious education, lower tariffs, opposition to welfare spending and agrarian subsides and hostility to "Marxism" (that is, the Communists, and also the Social Democrats).
The DVP was at first seen, along with the German National People's Party, as part of the "national opposition" to the Weimar Republic, particularly for its grudging acceptance of democracy and its attitude towards the Freikorps and the Kapp Putsch in 1920.
Although they did not support the Freikorps, the party did not publicly condemn them either.
By late 1920, Stresemann gradually moved to cooperation with the parties of the left and centre – possibly in reaction to political murders like that of Walther Rathenau.
However, he remained a monarchist at heart.
In the Weimar Republic
On 13 August 1923, in the midst of the Ruhr Crisis, he was appointed Chancellor and Foreign Minister of a grand coalition government.
As Chancellor, Stresemann went a long way towards resolving the crisis.
In the so-called year of crises (1923) he showed strength by calling-off the popular peaceful resistance at the Ruhr.
Since Germany was no longer able to pay the striking workers, more and more money was printed, which finally led to hyperinflation.
Hans Luther, who was the current finance minister, ended this disastrous process by introducing a new currency, the Rentenmark, which reassured the people that the democratic system was willing and able to solve urgent problems.
Stresemann's decision to end passive resistance was motivated by his view that making a good faith effort to fulfill the terms of Versailles was the only way to win relief from the treaty's harsher provisions.
He, like virtually every German, felt Versailles was an onerous Diktat that sullied the nation's honour.
However,  he felt that trying to fulfill the treaty's terms was the only way Germany could demonstrate that the reparations bill was truly beyond its capacity.
He also wished to recover the Rhineland - he wrote to the Crown Prince on 23 July 1923: "The most important objective of German politics is the liberation of German territory from foreign occupation.
First, we must remove the strangler from our throat".
However, some of his moves - like his refusal to deal firmly with culprits of the Beer Hall Putsch - alienated the Social Democrats.
They left the coalition and caused its collapse on 23 November 1923.
Stresemann remained as Foreign Minister in the government of his successor, Centrist Wilhelm Marx.
He remained foreign minister for the rest of his life in eight successive governments ranging from the centre-right to the centre-left.
As Foreign Minister, Stresemann had numerous achievements.
His first notable achievement was the Dawes Plan of 1924, which reduced Germany's overall reparations commitment and reorganized the Reichsbank.
After Sir Austen Chamberlain became British Foreign Secretary, he wanted a British guarantee to France and Belgium as the Anglo-American guarantee had fallen due to the United States' refusal to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.
Stresemann later wrote: "Chamberlain had never been our friend.
His first act was to attempt to restore the old Entente through a three-power alliance of England, France and Belgium, directed against Germany.
German diplomacy faced a catastrophic situation".
Stresemann conceived the idea that Germany would guarantee her western borders and pledged never to invade Belgium and France again, along with a guarantee from Britain that they would come to Germany's aid if attacked by France.
Germany was in no position at the time to attack, as Stresemann wrote to the Crown Prince: "The renunciation of a military conflict with France has only a theoretical significance, in so far as there is no possibility of a war with France".
Stresemann negotiated the Locarno Treaties with Britain, France, Italy, and Belgium.
On the third day of negotiations Stresemann explained Germany's demands to the French Foreign Secretary, Aristide Briand.
As Stresemann recorded, Briand "almost fell off his sofa, when he heard my explanations".
Stresemann said that Germany alone should not make sacrifices for peace; European countries should cede colonies to Germany; the disarmament control commission should leave Germany; the Anglo-French occupation of the Rhineland should be ended; and Britain and France should disarm as Germany had done.
The Treaties were signed in October 1925 at Locarno.
Germany officially recognized the post-World War I western border for the first time, and was guaranteed peace with France, and promised admission to the League of Nations and evacuation of the last Allied occupation troops from the Rhineland.
Germany's eastern borders were guaranteed to Poland only by France, not by a general agreement.
Stresemann was not willing to conclude a similar treaty with Poland: "There will be no Locarno of the east" he said.
Moreover he never excluded the use of force to regain the eastern territories of Germany which had come under Polish control as a consequence of the Treaty of Versailles.
The reason were atrocities against the German minority in the former German territories committed by or tolerated by the Polish government, see: and Hermann Rauschning.
In the session of the League of Nations on 15 December 1928 in Lugano Stresemann formulated a furious charge against Poland because of these crimes which were well known to the League of Nations.
The chairman  Aristide Briand, French foreign minister, concluded the session after this speech with the words: "The League of Nations must never break the sacred support of the minority-rights."
After this reconciliation with the Versailles powers, Stresemann moved to allay the growing suspicion of the Soviet Union.
He said to Nikolay Krestinsky in June 1925, as recorded in his diary: "I had said I would not come to conclude a treaty with Russia so long as our political situation in the other direction was not cleared up, as I wanted to answer the question whether we had a treaty with Russia in the negative".
The Treaty of Berlin signed in April 1926 reaffirmed and strengthened the Rapallo Treaty of 1922.
In September 1926, Germany was admitted to the League of Nations as permanent member of the Security Council.
This was a sign that Germany was quickly becoming a "normal" state and assured the Soviet Union of Germany's sincerity in the Treaty of Berlin.
Stresemann wrote to the Crown Prince: "All the questions which to-day preoccupy the German people can be transformed into as many vexations for the Entente by a skilful orator before the League of Nations".
As Germany now had a veto on League resolutions, she could gain concessions from other countries on modifications on the Polish border or Anschluss with Austria, as other countries needed her vote.
Germany could now act as "the spokesman of the whole German cultural community" and thereby provoke the German minorities in Czechoslovakia and Poland.
Germany signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact in August 1928.
It renounced the use of violence to resolve international conflicts.
Although Stresemann did not propose the pact, Germany's adherence convinced many people that Weimar Germany was a Germany that could be reasoned with.
This new insight was instrumental in the Young Plan of February 1929 which led to more reductions in German reparations payment.
Gustav Stresemann's success owed much to his friendly personal character and his willingness to change.
He was close personal friends with many influential foreigners.
Stresemann was not, however, in any sense pro-French.
His main preoccupation was how to free Germany from the burden of reparations payments to Britain and France, imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.
His strategy for this was to forge an economic alliance with the United States.
The U.S. was Germany's main source of food and raw materials, and one of Germany's largest export markets for manufactured goods.
Germany's economic recovery was thus in the interests of the U.S., and gave the U.S. an incentive to help Germany escape from the reparations burden.
The Dawes and Young plans were the result of this strategy.
Stresemann had a close relationship with Herbert Hoover, who was Secretary of Commerce in 1921-28 and President from 1929.
This strategy worked remarkably well until it was derailed by the Great Depression after Stresemann's death.
During his period in the foreign ministry, Stresemann came more and more to accept the Republic, which he had at first rejected.
By the mid-1920s, having contributed much to a (temporary) consolidation of the feeble democratic order, Stresemann was regarded as a Vernunftrepublikaner  (republican by reason) - someone who accepted the Republic as the least of all evils, but was in their heart still loyal to the monarchy.
The conservative opposition criticized him for his supporting the republic and fulfilling too willingly the demands of the Western powers.
Along with Matthias Erzberger and others, he was attacked as an Erfüllungspolitiker ("fulfillment politician").
In 1925, when he first proposed an agreement with France, he made it clear that in doing so he intended to "gain a free hand to secure a peaceful change of the borders in the East and [...] concentrate on a later incorporation of German territories in the East".
In the same year, while Poland was in a state of political and economic crisis, Stresemann began a trade war against the country.
Stresemann hoped for an escalation of the Polish crisis, which would enable Germany to regain territories ceded to Poland after World War I, and he wanted Germany to gain a larger market for its products there.
So Stresemann refused to engage in any international cooperation that would have "prematurely" restabilized the Polish economy.
In response to a British proposal, Stresemann wrote to the German ambassador in London: "[A] final and lasting recapitalization of Poland must be delayed until the country is ripe for a settlement of the border according to our wishes and until our own position is sufficiently strong".
According to Stresemann's letter, there should be no settlement "until [Poland's] economic and financial distress has reached an extreme stage and reduced the entire Polish body politic to a state of powerlessness".
Gustav Stresemann died of a stroke in October 1929 at the age of 51.
His massive gravesite is in  Berlin's Luisenstadt Cemetery at Südstern in Kreuzberg, and includes work by the German sculptor Hugo Lederer.
Stresemann's sudden and premature death, as well as the death of his "pragmatic moderate" French counterpart Aristide Briand in 1932, and the assassination of Briand's successor Louis Barthou in 1934, left a vacuum in European statesmanship that further tilted the slippery slope towards World War II.

Amon Amarth is a melodic death metal band from Tumba, an outer quarter of Stockholm, Sweden.
They signed a recording contract with the US-american label Metal Blade Records.
The band was founded in 1996.
Their most recent album, Jomsviking, was released on March 25, 2016 and was #1 on the music charts in Germany and Austria.
Amon Amarth band was formed from the previous band, Scum, which was formed in 1988.
After a 1991 demo, the band broke up.
Johan Hegg convinced the other members to come together again, and they formed Amon Amarth in 1992.
They recorded their first demo, Thor Arise (1993), with Johan Hegg on vocals, Anders Hansson on guitar and Ted Lundström on bass.
It was never released because it was low quality.
However, the band caught the attention of a lot of extreme metal fans.
In 1994 another demo, The Arrival of the Fimbul Winter, was recorded and 1,000 copies were released.
They then signed with Metal Blade Records and released their first album, Once Sent from the Golden Hall.
The album made Amon Amarth famous internationally.
In June of 1998, Amon Amarth was about to go on tour with Deicide, Six Feet Under, Brutal Truth when guitarist Anders Hansson left and was replaced by Johan Soderberg.
After the tour Martin Lopez quit to join Opeth and Fredrik Andersson (ex-A Canorous Quintet) came in.

Mikhail Ivanovich Chigorin  (Gatchina, Russia, 12 November 1850 – Lublin, Poland, 25 January 1908) was a leading Russian chess player.
Chigorin was for a while one of the world's top four players.

Icing in ice hockey is a rule the happens when a player shoots the puck across at least two red lines, the other team's goal line being the last, and the puck remains untouched but it is not icing if the player shoots the puck from behind the halfway line of the ice into the goal.
If the goal went into the net it would be counted as a goal.
There is also automatic or no-touch icing which is used mostly in lower-level professional hockey leagues like the ECHL and Central Hockey League, It was enforced in 1990 after Luděk Čajka, a Czech player rushed to get to the puck in an icing situation, he crashed into the boards, suffered severe spinal injuries, and died a few weeks later.
Sometimes the goaltender will raise his hand for icing also.
The team committing the icing is shorthanded, (penalty killing).
The linesman believes that a player on the other team (other than the goalkeeper) could have played the puck before it crossed the goal line.
In the NHL, the linesman deems the icing is the result of an attempted receivable pass.

Staphylococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria.
The name comes from the  (staphylē) which means "bunch of grapes" and κόκκος (kókkos) which means "granule".
Under a microscope they appear round, because they are cocci.
They form in grape-like clusters.
The Staphylococcus genus includes at least forty species.
Of these, nine have two subspecies and one has three subspecies.
Most are harmless and live normally on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and other organisms.
Found worldwide, they are a small component of soil microbial flora.
Streptococcus is a genus of spherical Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes and the lactic acid bacteria group.
They are cocci, meaning that they are shaped like spheres or circles.
Cellular division occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, and thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the name from Greek στρεπτος streptos, meaning easily bent or twisted, like a chain (twisted chain).
Contrast this with staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes and generate grape-like clusters of cells.
Streptococci are oxidase and catalase-negative, and many are facultative anaerobes.
