[ "Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a type of anxiety disorder, is a potentially disabling illness that traps people in endless cycles of repetitive thoughts and behaviors. People with OCD are plagued by recurring and distressing thoughts, fears or images (obsessions) that they cannot control.

[ "When a seed starts to grow.. 'Germinate' comes from 'germ cell' or the cell from where the whole organism grows. So whenever the germ cell is activated and starts growing into the new organism, it is germination. It usually refers to when the baby root and stem start to push out from the seed capsule.", "The purpose of laboratory testing of seed germination is to assess seed quality or viability and to predict performance of the seed and seedling in the field. Seed processed for sale must be tested by a qualified laboratory under the Association of Official Seed Analysts Rules for testing seeds. Several different kinds of testing are available depending on the type of seed to be tested, the conditions of the test, and the potential uses of the seed. The most common tests are the warm germination test, cold germination test, accelerated aging test, and the tetrazolium test. Each test is designed to evaluate various qualities of the seed. Factors that can affect the performance of seed in germination tests include; diseased seed, old seed, mechanically damaged seed, seed stored under high moisture, and excessive heating of seed during storage or drying. In most cases a seed treatment will improve germination of seed only if the poor quality is due to seed-borne disease. . . The most common test is a warm germination test because it is required by seed laws to appear on the label. The percentage of germinating seed in a warm germination test must be printed on the label of the seed if it is to be sold as seed. Germination is defined as: \"the emergence and development from the seed embryo of those essential structures which are indicative of the ability to produce a normal plant under favorable conditions.\" The warm germination test reflects the stand producing potential of a seed lot under ideal planting conditions. Usually 400 seed from each seed lot are placed under moist conditions on blotters, rolled towels, or sand and maintained at 77 degrees F for about seven days. At the end of this period the seedlings are categorized as normal, abnormal, or diseased, and dead or hard seeds. The percentage germination is calculated from the number of normal seedlings from the total number of seeds evaluated. . . The cold germination test is designed to measure the ability of seeds to germinate under high soil-moisture content and low soil temperature. This vigor test simulates early season adverse field conditions and usually represents the lowest germination that would be expected from a seed lot planted under such conditions. Actual field germination would normally fall between the cold test result and that of the warm germination test. Seeds are planted in a sand-soil mix at high moisture content and maintained at 50 degrees F for seven days. The test is then placed at 77 degrees F for four days. The percentage of healthy seedlings that emerge at least one inch above the soil is reported. . . The accelerated aging test estimates the carryover potential of a seed lot in warehouse storage. The seeds are exposed to high temperatures and high relative humidity for short periods of time that cause seed deterioration. Seed are suspended over water in a chamber for 72 hours (wheat and soybeans) or 96 hours (corn) then tested in a standard warm germination test. This test only would be used on seed whose longevity was in question. . . The tetrazolium test is a \"quick test\" for seed lot viability. It is useful when an approximate germination percentage is needed immediately. Seeds are soaked overnight in water then treated with tetrazolium to give an indication of viable, abnormal, and dead seeds in the seed lot. This test will not detect seed-borne disease, thus is limited in its ability to estimate seed quality. This test is highly reliable for determining viable seed of corn, wheat, oats, barley, and other grasses. . . If growers wish to use bin-run seed and has not had a germination test conducted by a competent laboratory, they can get an approximate germination test using the following procedure in their own home. . . Place two paper towels in the bottom of a dish or tray, one on top of the other; wet the towels thoroughly and tilt the tray up on one end so that excess water runs off the tray.

[ "I'm assuming this question is specific to the engine.. . This sort of depends on the bike...2 strokes are a little different than 4 strokes and I will address those separately.. . The key to break in on new motors is heat cycles. New motors are not built with crappy tolerancing like older motors so your main concern is seating the rings properly. This is done by putting the motor through a few heat cycles. In race applications and when facilities are available, you would run the engine up to operating temperature and go full throttle through all gears then let it cool down completely. This process would be done a few times. The point is to put complete load on the engine when at proper operating temperature. Remember, this is typical only for 'race' applications.. . For most normal users, you just ride it below the suggested rpm limit for a certain amount of mileage. The theory is that this works similarly to the above. You don't overstress the motor and you put an appropriate load on it. It is good to vary the rpm during break-in.. . For two-strokes, you need to run a much more oil-rich mixture for proper lubrication. After the suggested mileage, you can then switch the mixture to the normal ratio.. . Definitely, the owners manual will give you the 'recommended' method. There is a lot of available data on why you break in motors in certain ways and why you don't.

The north had a heavy industrial center, the south agricultural. the decisions of a president can affect, for good or for ill, either side. The states with heavy industry were more numerous, while agricultural had a large population.. . Here you can see why the issue on representation came into effect. It would determine if the US would be an agricultural, or a industrial nation.. . As an interesting note, Southern lawmakers wanted the slave population counted for representation and have voting rights, in an effort to secure their domination over the government. The Northern didnt want that, for same reason. This is where the idea that every 3 slaves counted as 2 people for the purpose of representation. Eventually this wasnt enough, and civil war was fought.. . Why was the emancipation proclomation made? To be able to free the slave population to fight for northern interests.. . . So what then, did we get out of the civil war?. . 1. The beginnings of true freedom for all races. 2. a house of representatives, and the senate. 3. a nation that is a mix of agricultural and industrial.. . Instead of concentrating on the issue of slavery, which existed before the war, we should concentrate on what the civil war taught us, and the good that came from it.. . it comes down to this... If the civil war never happened, and the south never seceeded due to differences in how representation should be done, would slavery ever ended?", "The confederate flag is all about context. Many Southerners would consider the flag a symbol of pride in the Southern way of life. Few outside the South recognize this, since many outside the South believe the Southern way of life involves inbreeding and missing teeth, which it does not. It usually involves Southern hospitality, REALLY good cooking (not necessarily healthy cooking), and in many cases a deep devotion to religious beliefs.. . If used in a hateful context, such as to celebrate slavery, the flag may be considered offensive, but it's display, to my knowledge, would still be protected under the First Amendment in this context.. . If used in a violence-promoting context, like encouraging revolt against the government or promoting violence against minorities, First Amendment protections may not apply. Consult your local constitutional expert.", "Your buckeye is showing, Golfer. People have made the confederate flag stand for hatred. It's a flag from the history of the USA (unlike the nazi flag). I don't live in the South, but some of my relatives and friends do. Their showing of the confederate flag is an \"in-your-face\" to all the politically correct,hyper sensitive liberals. Not a demonstration of hatred or bigotry.. . I feel it's also a demonstration of someones cultural upbringing. In the south it's more laid back and slower paced life. Where people are able to spend time doing things they want to do and spend time together with family and friends. Unlike people from other parts of the country that run around like rats on crack trying to get to blockbuster before the last copy of Closer or Crash is picked up or running through red lights so their 12 year old son can get the last xbox 360 from bestbuys.", "Simple it is the flag of the ememies of the union, those who would have divided this country up into little third world countries that are a pain in the ass today like Iraq, Iran and Syria. Flying that flag is the same a pissing on old glory." ]

They will submit a report to the FCC and get it approved, they will also obtain a FCC logo and a certification number. This process usually costs around USD3k-5k depending on how many times the tests need to be repeated. You can look for a suitable testing agency near your area by contacting the FCC folks." ]

[ "I wouldn't agree at all. Most nurses are aware of their bodies and try to stay healthy! If they are overweight it's for the same reason anyone else is.", "While I don't agree with that generalization, as I know and have seen many who are not, I would say that part of it could be from work related stress which in turn causes some to eat. Another aspect to consider would be the fact that many nurses work quite hard and don't necessarily have time to take to eat as well as they should. Just some thoughts.", "Because people in this country are fatter then any other country on the planet and we are really starting to notice. Nurses seem to be fat, because they work alot and when you work alot you tend not to have a personal life. When you dont have a personal life women tend to eat alot.. And when they eat alot they tend to get FAT!", "I think that it is like most any other job... once you have done it so long, you lose sight of the important issues and the reasons that you chose that field (in this case, health). I am in the medical field and weigh 105 lbs. Obviously I am not fat, and there are many others who that statement wouldn't apply to. I think it mostly applies to the ones who are burnt out with their jobs and whether consciously or subconsciously are dealing with some type of depression. Dealing with grumpy sick people all day along with ill doctors could make anyone depressed!! LOL", "Because when patients die, they eat them.", "Because Americans as a whole are becoming more obese. Obesity in the nursing profession's most common age and gender (middle-aged, female) is increasing; therefore, it's natural for you to generalize as you did.", "thats not fair to all nurses that not all mostly fat there are alot who rnt................u just havent seen them behind the fat ones." ]

[ "Yes you can, there is usually an option that looks like \"Exclude hits from xxx\" where you fill in the xxx with your own IP address.. Without giving us the exact hit counter you are using, it is pretty much imopssible to explain exactly how to do it though.", "If you have the ability to edit the script you can have it not record the hit if it sees your IP address, providing you have a static address. Or you could set a cookie and go by that. Without specifics on what kind of counter it is, giving a better answer is difficult.. . Update: To reset this counter, just right click on the hit counter, click on front page components, then set the counter and the number of digits. You can change the style of the counter from there also.. . See if that area allows you to set what you need. Also check to see if it uploaded some file you can manually edit that goes with this counter." ]
