The United States debt ceiling is a limit that tells how much money the United States government can borrow at any given time.
It is set by the United States Congress.
Its basic purpose is to try to lower the national debt of the United States or prevent excessive borrowing.
The debt ceiling was created in 1917 under the Second Liberty Bond Act.
It was designed to fund the US as it entered World War I. Before the creation of the debt ceiling, the president determined how much debt could be incurred in a given time.
This was changed in 1917 to prevent the president from having too much borrowing power.
The debt ceiling in 2011 was 14.3 trillion dollars.
A public-private partnership is a contract between the public sector, or government, and a private company.
The purpose for such public-private partnerships is to provide public services, like education and transportation.
This is without changing the private business into a government-operated service.
One way of doing this is to allow the government to pay the business for providing free services to the public.
The business provides the services for free and then charges the government for compensation, in which the government agrees.
Supporters of public-private partnerships argue that it reduces inefficiency and provides the free market with greater flexibility.

AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a display technology mainly used in mobile phones, televisions and other electronic devices with a screen.
An AMOLED display uses an active matrix of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) that emits light when an electrical signal is present.
As of 2008, AMOLED technology was used in phones, media players, and digital cameras.
They are starting to be used more in low-power, cheaper and large-sized applications as well.
OLEDs work just like a regular LED except the diodes in OLEDs are thinner.
Other type of displays, such as LCDs, require an external light source (backlighting) to illuminate the screen whereas OLED displays do not.
Energy efficiency is also an advantage of AMOLED displays.
It is more energy efficient than LED and other types of displays.
This is because AMOLED displays generate less heat while emitting light, allowing for less energy being lost during heat transfer.
It is energy efficient in its ability to consume less power as well.
It can be utilized well for portable consumer electronic devices, where good battery-life is essential.
Because of this efficiency, AMOLED displays can also be considered eco-friendly.
Compared to other types of displays, AMOLED displays can produce high refresh rates although LCD leads in that specific area.
AMOLED displays also allow to be folded, which manufacturers use to make bezel-less screens that fold behind the display.
AMOLED displays are prone to screen burn-ins, which leaves a permanent imprint of overused colors from overused images.
The imprint only happens if the screen is used at maximum brightness for a long time.
Because of the organic compounds of its technology too, unlike light diodes or inorganic crystalline, AMOLED displays are highly susceptible to water damage.
Putting the display in water would result in immediate colour and pixel damage.
Thus, sealing techniques must be taken into consideration during the manufacturing process.
Because of AMOLED’s reduced maximum brightness and lack of backlighting, AMOLED displays may be difficult to view in direct sunlight compared to LCDs.[13][citation needed].
However, there are solutions to this problem.
Samsung, for example, fixes this problem by reducing the size of gaps between layers of the screen.
14][15]
AMOLED Screens have been marketed in various ways by different companies.
Apple refers their AMOLED displays as “Super Retina HD” while Samsung refers to theirs as “Super AMOLED”.
Motorola, HTC, Google and all the other device makers market in different ways even though most of their screens are created by Samsung, which controls 98% of the AMOLED display market.
Manufacturers have tried to address the disadvantages of AMOLED display technology.
Samsung has announced their launch of the world’s first stretchable touchscreen display with a 9:1 inch dynamic stretchable AMOLED display.
The new screen is based off of LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) technology, which helps with deforming necessary pixels for stretching.
AU Optronics, an electronics manufacturer in Taiwan, has also made moves to develop in-cell touch panels into AMOLED display’s fabrication process.

John Henson (April 25, 1965 — February 14, 2014) was an American puppeteer.
He was born in Saugerties, New York.
He was a performer of The Muppets.
Puppeteers Jim and Jane Henson were his parents.
Michael Brett Adkisson (March 2, 1964 — April 12, 1987) was an American professional wrestler.
He was better known under the ring name Mike Von Erich.
He was a member of the famous Von Erich family.
His father was Fritz Von Erich, a wrestling promoter and professional wrestler.
Mike made his professional wrestling debut on November 24, 1983.
Unlike his older brothers, however, he never wanted to do wrestling (according to certain wrestlers tied to Mike, including his brother Kevin).
In 1985, Von Erich was diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome (rare among men).
The condition caused brain damage that then affected his behavior and overall performing abilities.
In April 1987, he was arrested for drunk driving and drug charges.
A few days later, Mike wrote and left a suicide note for his family, went to Lake Dallas and overdosed on Placidyl and alcohol.

Polymyalgia rheumatica ("PMR", sometimes called just polymyalgia) is a syndrome or condition.
It causes pain in the joints and muscles of the upper body.
Most people with PMR have pain during the morning.
Sometimes the pain is in the late afternoon or evening.
About 15% of people having PMR may also have temporal arteritis.
PMR affects more women than men.
PMR usually happens in people age fifty and older.
People under age 50 can be affected, although only rarely.
One blood test usually performed is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) which measures how fast the patient's red blood cells settle in a test tube.
The faster the blood cells settle, the higher the ESR value, which means inflammation is present.
Prednisone is the drug of choice for PMR.
Treatment duration is often more than one year.
If the patient does not experience dramatic improvement after three days of 10–20 mg oral prednisone per day, the diagnosis should be reconsidered.
Sometimes relief of symptoms occurs in only several hours.
Osteology is the scientific study of bones, practiced by osteologists.
It is a part of anatomy and is used by workers in palaeontology, anthropology, and archeology.
Osteology studies the skeleton, and other bony structures.
It includes the study of the structure of bones, teeth, their function and growth.
It is often used by scientists for the identification of vertebrate remains, including the age, death, sex, and development.
Gas gangrene is a bacterial problem.
It produces gas over tissues where there is gangrene.
This condition is an medical emergency.
Sepsis can happen with this condition.

Dinosaur renaissance is a term coined in a 1975 issue of Scientific American by Robert Bakker to describe the renewed interest in paleontology.
This has lasted from the 1970s to the present.
It was caused by a great increase in dinosaur discoveries, and by new ideas of how they lived.
John Ostrom's 1964 discovery of Deinonychus is one of the most important fossil finds.
One conclusion was that at least some dinosaurs had a high metabolism, and so in some cases were warm-blooded.
This was popularized by Ostrom's student Robert Bakker.
The impression of dinosaurs as being slow, cold-blooded, small-brained reptiles needed to be rethought, at least for some of the carnivores.
Main issues
Dinosaurs are a natural monophyletic group.
Warm-bloodedness and activity levels.
Robert Bakker argued that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and active animals, capable of sustained periods of high activity.
His methodology was fiercely debated among scientists.
Now it is thought that many dinosaurs had higher metabolic rates than living reptiles, but also that the situation is complex and varied.
Many dinosaurs could have had intermediate metabolic rates.
The discovery of feathers on dinobirds clinched the argument for the smaller theropods.
Social behaviour of dinosaurs.
Fossil tracks suggest that sauropod dinosaurs moved in structured herds, with the adults surrounding the juveniles in a protective ring.
Studies of dinosaur nests suggested that duckbilled dinosaur Maiasaura cared for its young.
Dinosaur movement.
The dinosaur renaissance changed their portrayal by artists.
Bakker's illustration of Deinonychus is one of the most recognisable and iconic of dinosaur restorations.
Another result of modern fossil finds is the balance of bipedal dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs, we now know, move with body almost horizontal, balanced over the hips by a long and often heavy tail.
This tail is kept stiff by tough tendons running along the vertebrae.
In many adult dinosaurs the tail tendons became ossified (partly bony), keeping the tail more rigid.
New extinction theories.
The assumption that dinosaurs became extinct because they were inferior in competition with mammals is wrong.
Iridium, a metal found mainly in meteorites, was found in the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary layer.
Also the Chicxulub crater was found.
This suggested the extinction had been caused by a meteor impact.
Later, the existence of the Deccan Traps at the same time showed that enormous flood volcanism was also at work.
Cultural impact.
The dinosaur renaissance revived the general interest in dinosaurs.
A flood of books, films, television programmes and general publicity has followed.
Jurassic Park is the best-known example of this.
Chinese lagerstätten
The discovery of new feathered dinosaurs in China has kept the field in the forefront of research and populat attention.
Lower Cretaceous geological formations in the northeastern Chinese province of Liaoning are especially noteworthy.
The animals found there are known as the Jehol biota.
Maria I (English: Mary I) (17 December 1734 – 20 March 1816) was the Queen of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.
Known as Maria the Pious (in Portugal), or Maria the Mad (in Brazil), she was the first undisputed Queen (in her own right) of Portugal.
Her court, then under the direction of her eldest son and heir Dom João, the Prince Regent, moved to the then Portuguese colony of Brazil.
Later on, Brazil would be elevated from the rank of a colony to that of a Kingdom.
This led to the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves.
Maria was born at the Ribeira Royal Palace in Lisbon.
On the day of her birth, her grandfather, King João V, created her the Princess of Beira.
She was the eldest of all her  four siblings.
When her father succeeded to the throne in 1750 as José I, Maria became his heiress presumptive and was given the traditional titles of Princess of Brazil and Duchess of Braganza.
She was also an Infanta of Portugal from birth and thus entitled to the style of Royal Highness.
She grew up during the dominating Marquis of Pombal
17 December 1734 – 31 July 1750 Her Royal Highness The Princess of Beira, Duchess of Barcelos
31 July 1750 – 24 February 1777 Her Royal Highness The Princess of Brazil, Duchess of Braganza
24 February 1777 – 16 December 1815 Her Most Faithful Majesty The Queen of Portugal and the Algarves

Borhyaena is an extinct genus of metatherians.
It lived in South America between 20 and 15 million years ago.
It was a predator whose lifestyle must have been rather similar to that of a hyaena.
It lived between 17.5 and 15.5 million years ago in Patagonia.
Two species have been found.
Blight refers to way plants wither when infected.
It is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or flowers.
Various diseases which cause the symptom are known as blights.
Several notable examples are:
Late blight of potato, caused by the water mould Phytophthora infestans, the disease which led to the Irish potato famine
Southern corn leaf blight, caused by the fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus czused a severe loss of corn in the United States in 1970.
Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica has nearly completely eradicated mature American chestnuts in North America.
Bacterial leaf blight of rice is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae.
Early blight of potato and tomato, caused by species of the common fungal genus Alternaria
Leaf blight of grasses.
On leaf tissue, symptoms of blight are the initial appearance of lesions which rapidly engulf surrounding tissue.
