Sepsis is a very dangerous disease that occurs when an infection goes wrong.
Normally the immune system of the body is able to fight the germs and overcome the infection, but in sepsis something goes wrong.
The pathogen was at some point able to get into the blood or tissues.
The term sepsis is frequently used to refer to septicemia (blood poisoning).
Septicemia is only one type of sepsis.
Bacteremia specifically refers to the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream (viremia and fungemia are the terms used for  viruses and fungi).
A sepsis is a medical emergency, as it can put the life in danger, if it is not acted on.
Common symptoms of sepsis are inflammations all over the body.
This is often combined with high fever.
Today, people believe, these symptoms are caused by the immune system trying to fight the disease.
Because of the strong reactions, organs can be damaged in the process.
In a sense, the immune system over-reacts the germs and goes awry, causing damage to the organs.
Cause of death
In the United States, sepsis is the leading cause of death for ICU patients which do not have heart problems.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows it is the tenth most common cause of death overall.
Older people, those with a weak immune system and those with a strong illness suffer from sepis more often.
It is also more dangerous to them.
It occurs in 1%-2% of all hospitalizations and accounts for as much as 25% of intensive care unit (ICU) bed utilization.
It is a major cause of death in intensive care units worldwide, with mortality rates that range from 20% for sepsis to 40% for severe sepsis to over 60% for septic shock.
More severe forms
Severe sepsis and septic shock are more severe forms of sepsis.
With severe sepsis, one or more organs fail to work.
Septic shock is when sepsis is combined with very low blood pressure.
Today, the bacterial forms of sepsis can be treated with antibiotics.
In addition, the fluids (blood) containing the germs have to be replaced.
It might also be necessary to functionally replace the organs that failed.
It is important to begin to treat the sepsis as quickly as possible, as each hour it is left untreated will raise the chances of death by 5% to 10%.
About half the people affected and untreated die from the condition.
Rapid access to treatment will increase the chances of survival in most cases.

A partnership is when two or more people work together to complete a task.
Those people are partners.
Partner may share a business together for the profit of each other.
If one business partner ends up making money they both share the profit.
Some partners are not individuals but corporations or other groups.
A partner may also be somebody who lives with another person, e.g. a husband or wife (marriage partners), or a very good friend who shares his or her life with the other person.
The word partner in this sense is used a lot in modern times because it does not discriminate between married or unmarried couples.
Ruth Bell Graham (June 10, 1920 – June 14, 2007) was the wife of evangelist Billy Graham.
She was born at Qingjiang, Kiangsu, China as Ruth McCue Bell, the second of five children.
Her parents, Dr. and Mrs. L. Nelson Bell, were medical missionaries at the Presbyterian Hospital 300 miles north of Shanghai.

Patrick Star is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.
Bill Fagerbakke plays him.
Patrick first appeared in the series' pilot episode, "Help Wanted", which played on May 1, 1999.
Patrick was made by animator Stephen Hillenburg.
Patrick's biggest character trait is his lack of common sense, which sometimes makes him a bad influence on his best friend, SpongeBob SquarePants.
Patrick is as a pink starfish who is silly, fat, lazy, immature, forgetful, rude, and generally ignorant.
He has been shown to make many silly mistakes such as forgetting how to eat, and not realizing that the character Sandy Cheeks is a girl.
But, he sometimes is shown to overly observe particular events happening around him.
At those moments, he would focus on very specific objects or details that other characters would usually ignore.
However, he always quickly turns back to his usual, silly self after.
He does not have a job.
But, he worked at the Krusty Krab for short periods of time in many positions (often was not paid), and mostly spends his days either goofing off with SpongeBob or resting beneath the rock.
He lives under the rock.
At home, Patrick is usually either sleeping (stuck to the bottom of his rock), watching TV (whether the TV is actually on or not), or doing the "art of doing nothing."
He is very good at that.
All of the furniture under his rock are made of sand, and Patrick can simply build new furniture as needed.
But even so, his living space contains only the most basic things.
His best friend SpongeBob is often impressed by Patrick's ability to come up with silly yet genius plans or solutions.
But, Patrick often irritates those around him and is confused by the simplest questions or subjects.
The characters of Mr. Krabs and Squidward Tentacles have no patience for Patrick's stupidity.
They don't pay him much regard.
Sandy Cheeks often gets annoyed by Patrick, but still sees him as a friend.
SpongeBob SquarePants maker Stephen Hillenburg began making cartoons and caricatures of tide pool-dwelling sea life, including starfish, while teaching marine biology at the Orange County Marine Institute in Dana Point, California, from 1984 to 1987.
In 1987, Hillenburg left the institute.
This is so he could become an animator.
Patrick Star is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke.
This made questions about whether or not SpongeBob, his best friend Patrick, and the rest of the series' characters are homosexual characters.
In 2002, Hillenburg said that his characters were not gay.
He clarified the issue and said "We never made them gay on purpose.
I think they are almost asexual.
We are just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show."
Jeffrey P. Dennis, writer of the journal article "The Same Thing We Do Every Night: Signifying Same-Sex Desire in Television Cartoons," argued that SpongeBob and Sandy are not in love, while adding that he believed that SpongeBob and Patrick "are paired with arguably big intensity."
Dennis noted the two are "not thought of as romantic partners," since they live in separate places, and have different groups of friends, but claimed that in the series, "the possibility of same-sex desire is never excluded."
Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine described Dennis's comments regarding SpongeBob and Patrick as "interesting."
Sir Nicholas William Peter "Nick" Clegg (born 7 January 1967) is a British politician.
He was the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government and was also the leader of the Liberal Democrats.

Clegg's family has many foreign members- his grandmother on his father's side was a Russian Baroness before the Russian Revolution, with German and Ukrainian ancestors, while Clegg's Dutch mother was imprisoned by the Japanese in World War II.
Clegg is multilingual (he speaks Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish fluently).
He says that his family's experience of persecution is one of the reasons he is liberal.

Dungeons & Dragons is a paper-and-pencil roleplaying game.
Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson created Dungeons and Dragons in the year 1974.
Many people today think that role-playing games (RPGs) are only played on a computer, but that is not true.
From the early 1970s, role-playing games have been played by people sitting together at the same table, using their imaginations and the written rules of the game to play (as well as dice to generate random numbers when needed).
Players of this type of role-playing game play as imaginary characters that go on heroic adventures.
The characters can be many types: a strong warrior, a wise wizard, a skilled thief.
One person in the group acts as a moderator, or referee (called the "dungeon master," or DM, in Dungeons and Dragons and "game master", or GM, in other games), of the game.
This person is responsible for making sure there is a fair use of the rules and is often also in charge of designing fun, interesting adventures for the other players.
There are now many types of fantasy role-playing games, both traditional paper-and-pencil games and computer games.
Many genres of games are played (fantasy, science fiction, horror, war, and so on), and there are hundreds of companies that produce their own written rules systems and software products.
Versions of Dungeons and Dragons
Several versions of Dungeons and Dragons have been released.
The first version was just called "Dungeons & Dragons."
Several rule books were available, depending on the levels of the characters.
The first books dealt with characters from levels 1-3.
As characters got stronger, players had to move to the more advanced rule books to manage their characters.
After Dungeons and Dragons came Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
This was a new ruleset that was unrelated to the original rules.
A second edition of AD&D was released, which is still popular today.
After Wizards of the Coast bought the rights to Dungeons and Dragons, a more streamlined version of the game was released, called Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition.
This version had simpler rules.
Most die-rolls were done with a 20 sided die, instead of different types of multi-sided dice.
Playing Dungeons and Dragons
Before playing the game, each player makes his or her character and writes the details on a "character sheet."
First, players make their character's six statistics called "ability scores": Strength (How strong you are), Dexterity (How skilled and fast you are), Constitution (How tough you are), Intelligence (How smart you are), Wisdom (How well you use your smarts), and Charisma (How well you control and influence people).
Each version has different methods to make the stats.
Each player then selects a race (species) such as human or elf, as well as a class (job or occupation) such as Fighter or Wizard, and their alignment (Their moral and ethical views).
Players also invest in a number of skills, feats and powers to make their characters stronger and better.
Adding details not covered by the rules like history and personality are used often to develop the character.
While playing Dungeons and Dragons, the players detail the actions of their characters to the referree, such as hitting an enemy or hiding from the guards, or talking to another character.
The referree describes the results of the characters' actions or answers the players.
Actions that are really easy will always work, like when opening an unlocked door or picking up an apple.
The results of hard actions are decided by rolling dice.
As the game is played, the characters grow and increase in power.
Characters may gain experience, skills, wealth.
The main way that characters gain experience is through defeating powerful enemies or doing an important or hard work.
Getting enough experience allows a character to get a level, getting more job abilities, skills, and powers.
Hit points (HP) measure a character's health.
When a character is harmed, s/he loses hit points.
When a character loses all of his or her hitpoints, s/he dies.
To avoid being harmed, most characters can wear armor of different types.
You might also use "Saving Throws" against indirect harm, such as poison, or magical effects.
The story is a combined effort of everyone who plays.
It can either be a story someone has made up.
So can the setting (Where the adventure takes place).
There are also books that give all that information as well.
Sakoku (Japanese: 鎖国, literally "country in chains" or "lock up of country") was the foreign policy of Japan under which no foreigner or Japanese could enter or leave the country on penalty of death.
The policy was enacted by the Tokugawa Shogunate under Tokugawa Iemitsu through a number of edicts and policies from 1633-1639 and remained in effect until 1854 with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and the opening of Japan.
It was still illegal to leave Japan until the Meiji Restoration (1868).
But Japan was not completely isolated under the sakoku policy.
Rather, it was a system in which strict regulations were applied to commerce and foreign relations by the shogunate.
The following year 1854, Perry returned with seven ships and forced the Shogun to sign the "Treaty of Peace and Amity", establishing formal diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States.

It is in the center of maritime southeast Asia.
This island is part of three different countries.
Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei each have part of Borneo.
Indonesia's region is called "Kalimantan" (although Indonesians use this word for the whole island).
Malaysia's region of Borneo is called East Malaysia or Malaysian Borneo.
The independent nation of Brunei is a small part of the island.
Borneo has a rainforest that is in danger because it is valuable.
Lumber companies cut trees here illegally.
Borneo is surrounded by the South China Sea to the north and northwest, the Sulu Sea to the northeast, the Celebes Sea and the Makassar Strait to the east, and the Java Sea and Karimata Strait to the south.
It has an area of 743,330 km² (287,000 square miles).
Borneo is home to a few of the oldest rainforests in the world.

The country will have a population of 24 million by 2040 if it grows at the current rate.
This is a list of islands in the world ordered by area.
It includes all islands with an area greater than 250,000 km² (96,526 square miles).
Although an island is, in general, any land mass that is completely surrounded by water, some definitions exclude land masses large enough to be considered continents.
Placing Australia in the latter category (even though arguments can be made whether it is technically a continent, or merely part of the larger continent called Australasia) makes Greenland the largest island.
For the sake of classification the list of islands will begin with Greenland.
Baffin Island () is an island in the territory of Nunavut.
It is the largest member of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
It is the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world, with an area of 507,451 km² (195,928 sq mi).
It has a population of 11,000 people as of the year 2007.
It is named after the British explorer William Baffin.
The island was known to the Norse as Helluland.
In a substitution cipher, a rule is used to change each letter of the message, one at a time.
The rule says to replace (or "substitute") each letter with another letter from the alphabet.
Using this rule, the sentence "Jack and Jill went up the hill" is changed to "Etar tzn Evmm gkzc dw cuk uvmm".
The Caesar cipher is one example of a substitution cipher.
Substitution ciphers are not safe enough to use for important messages.
Substitution ciphers can be broken by an idea called frequency analysis.
Some letters are more common than others in English sentences: E is the most common, then T, then A, and so on.
A message that has been changed by a substitution cipher will have different common letters, but this gives a hint about the rule.
The most common letters in the changed message are likely to be the most common letters in English.
Breaking cryptograms (messages hidden with a substitution cipher) is a common puzzle often found in newspapers.

By counting up the letters, we see that the most common is I, which we will guess is an e.  X is also quite common, and XLI is found many times; we guess that this is the, the most common three-letter group in English.
E is the second most common letter.
We already have a guess for e and t, so we guess that E is a.  We now have:

Here upon le grand arose with a grave and stately air and brought me the beetlefrom a glass case in which it was enclosed.
It was a beautiful scarabaeus andat that time unknown to naturalists of course; a great prize in a scientificpoint of view.
There were two round black spots near one extremity of the backand a long one near the other.
The scales were exceedingly hard and glossy withall the appearance of burnished gold.
The weight of the insect was veryremarkable and taking all things into consideration I could hardly blame jupiterfor his opinion respecting it. (
