They were the owners of a successful real estate company in Desert Palm. Each had several clients, and the strain of the current real estate market was getting to them. It had been an unusually cool day for January, with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees. On coming home they decided to relax in their hot tub with some wine. While Roma changed from her work clothes, Clint said that he would join her in the hot tub after he took his Lasix. Saturday, 8AM “911… Please state your emergency.” “Oh, Oh, I… I… ” “Ma’am, please calm down and tell me the address.” “I think…, yes, OK, it’s… it’s 2560 Oak Creek Drive.” “What is the problem, please?” “I’m the maid for Mr. and Mrs. Underhill and… and I didn’t find them in the house when I came in this morning, so I looked around outside. I just found them in their hot tub out back. They are under the water. Please come, please come now!” “Yes, ma’am, I’m alerting the EMTs and an ambulance will be on the way. Please go out front...

What are the landmarks? _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------- With London’s underground railway (or “Tube”), you can go to most places in the city. Although it is fast, in rush hour the Tube is often crowded. So it is important to avoid the Tube between 0800 and 0930, and between 1600 and 1830. The cheapest way to travel on the Tube is to buy a travel card. You can also use this on London’s famous red buses. Although traveling by bus is slow, you can see many popular landmarks from the bus window. Travelling by taxi is, of course, the most convenient way to go. Although taxis ae comfortable, they are expensive. Pray that there are no traffic jams...

...own? Tap to flap was its line to be able to go through the spaces of the tubes from above and below. That game which has a weird looking bird that keeps on making people curse themselves when it got itself bumped with the tubes, is called the Flappy Bird. In May, Dong Nguyen uploaded a new game to the iOS App Store. It was just one of the hundreds of apps added to Apple’s iTunes marketplace each day. Nguyen had created a simple game in which the player controls a funny-looking bird by tapping the screen, and it needed a simple name. He called it Flap Flap, until he realized another app had the same title. Luckily, developing and updating games on the App Store is such a fast, iterative process that he was able to quickly retitle it Flappy Bird. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. This game was very common to most teenagers where in they waste time just to be in high score. It was very viral that became the next Angry Birds and next Temple Run. Months after he released it, Flappy Bird shot to the top of the charts, drawing even more players, which made it even more popular, which drew in even more players. Millions of people were downloading Flappy Bird at its peak, and Nguyen was raking in $50,000 a day from the pop-up ads that appeared during gameplay. The concept of the game is just very simple: You tap the screen to make the bird fly, release to dive down and contrive through the gaps of the green tubes that was styled after those of the Super Mario series. The gaps were appealingly...

The objectives of the PEP are to propose a plan for initiate the assembly process associate with the new line of LDTC radiation tubes, and reform the current assembly processes in the NTAD. The PEP has definitely positive influence on the Assembly process, which will expand capacity by 50% in the nuclear tube operations. However, some stages of the PEP underestimated the NTAR workers, and the Long's effort. As a result, it will decrease the existing Assembly worker's performance. One of the important factors of the proposal is to create process specifications for the nuclear tube operations, which Long strong disagree. Long prefers to use the production standards just as a guide for the employees. However, the PEP will rewrite and reform the process specifications on existing operations. After that, the PEP needs to enforce new standards into the work process. In addition, the proposal requires that Singer approve monitoring, evaluating, and documenting any deviations or changes. It will discourage the problem solving in the workplace. Also, it might hinder the employees' enthusiasm to create solution for the issues. Secondly, the plan will change the arrangements of the tube assembly operation. In addition to pilot process, the proposal is going to hire four new assembly operators with higher pay. The four new operators are unfamiliar with the existing workers, and training the...

...proportions. Then the ingredients are mixed together. Usually, the glycerin-water mixture is done first. • 2 All the ingredients are mixed together in the mixing vat. The temperature and humidity of vat are watched closely. This is important to ensuring that the mix comes together correctly. A commonly used vat in the toothpaste industry mixes a batch that is the equivalent of 10,000 four-ounce (118 ml) tubes. Filling the tubes • 3 Before tubes are filled with toothpaste, the tube itself passes under a blower and a vacuum to ensure cleanliness. Dust and particles are blown out in this step. The tube is capped, and the opposite end is opened so the filling machine can load the paste. • 4 After the ingredients are mixed together, the tubes are filled by the filling machine. To make sure the tube is aligned correctly, an optical device rotates the tube. Then the tube is filled by a descending pump. After it is filled, the end is sealed (or crimped) closed. The tube also gets a code stamped on it indicating where and when it was manufactured. Packaging and shipment • 5 After tubes are filled, they are inserted into open paperboard boxes. Some companies do this by hand. • 6 The boxes are cased and shipped to warehouses and stores. Quality Control Each batch of ingredients is tested for quality as it is brought into the factory. The testing lab also checks samples of final...

...Introduction Over the years pharmaceuticals have been trying to find multiple ways to improve the drug delivery system for cancer. Microgels and hydrogels were first established, and then the new creations of nanogels were created. Nanogels have grown to have a huge impact for the use of certain anticancer drugs. Although characteristics of nanogels are still being studied by recent researchers they tend to have many advanced features as a drug delivery system. Some features include: simplicity of drug formulation; high drug-loading capacity; exceptional dispersion stability; and prolonged storage of drug formulations in the freeze-dried form. [1] Nanogels are cross linked particles of sub-micrometer size, made up of hydrophilic polymers. There three-dimensional polymer chains are formed by using covalent linkages or the self-assembly processes. [2] A polymer with two different properties such as soluble and insoluble is called an amphiphilic polymer. When the polymer is added to water it creates nanoparticles. The outside of the nanoparticle is called the shell and the center is called the core. When the core is cross linked it then forms a nanogel. Within this experiment cysteamine hydrochloride is added to create crosslink chains in side of the nanogel and TCEP is then added to cleave the disulfide bonds within the gel. Because Nile red is insoluble in water it is added before water during the cross linking reaction. Without the addition of cysteamine hydrochloride the Nile...
