3d4d Ultrasound A Look At The Advantages And Disadvantages

3d4d Ultrasound A Look At The Advantages And Disadvantages

Posted on by

By Nichole Clark

When it comes to 3d4d ultrasound, there are a lot of things that should be taken into consideration. There are several different advantages of this type of ultrasound. While there are a few of these advantages that can be beneficial from a medical standpoint, the majority of the benefits that come from this type of ultrasound are not medically related. Many women desire to have this type of procedure done during their pregnancy because they are able to have a better bond with their unborn baby. Taking the time to look at the different advantages and disadvantages of a three or four dimensional ultrasound can help you to determine if it is right for you.

One of the most common advantages to having this procedure done is the fact that it helps to increase the bond that the mother and father build with their unborn baby. You can actually see the features that your baby will have before he or she is born. When you have this ultrasound done, you are able to see movements of the baby just as you would in real life. You can see things such as thumb sucking, blinking of the eyes, waving arms, kicking and other movements as well. This can really make the feeling of carrying a child more real. Just like feeling the first kick can help to make a pregnancy seem more real, as does a three or four dimensional ultrasound.

Another great advantage to this procedure has to do with the fact that you can actually get photos of your child in the womb. These are actually pretty clear photos that allow you to see facial features and other expressions. This can help fathers bond with their unborn child as well. A lot of times fathers may feel out of the loop when it comes to pregnancy. Taking the time to have this procedure will help fathers to be able to feel like they are more in on the whole experience, which can be a great feeling for expectant fathers. These great photos that you will get from the ultrasound will make an excellent addition to your baby album. Capturing the moments before your baby is born is a great way to remember the moments that you were pregnant and be able to cherish them forever.

Not only will you be able to capture these three or four dimensional photos of your baby, but you can even sometimes get them on video. This will give you something that you can share with your child when they are older. They are sure to find it fascinating.

While you can see that there are many advantages to having a 3d4d ultrasound, you should also know that there is one downfall. Most insurance companies do not cover this procedure; therefore it is usually an out of pocket expense for most people. Take the time to look into this option if you are pregnant, it is sure to be well worth the money that you spend.

Sulpicio names companies hired for ‘Princess of the Stars’ salvage

Posted on by

Monday, July 14, 2008

Sulpicio Lines has named the companies hired to conduct salvage operations for MV Princess of the Stars, the Philippines ferry that sank on June 21 during Typhoon Fengshen, leaving over 800 passengers dead.

The Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) had already set a deadline of this Tuesday to name the contractor who would recover the ship. Another important aspect is the separate recovery of chemicals on board, primarily the fuel and a 10-tonne shipment of the dangerous pesticide endosulfan by Del Monte.

The ship had also been carrying a number of other chemicals in smaller quantities, including metamedopus, carbofuran, niclosemide, and proptineb. All of the chemicals must be removed by order of the DOTC before the vessel is recovered. The chemical recovery is to be performed by Titan Salvage, an international firm owned by Florida’s Crowley Maritime Corporation and specialising in sunken and capsized ship recovery. Titan will co-operate with both Sulpicio and the DOTC, and expect the project to be completed within 60 days of the contract being signed.

Once the chemicals on board are removed then the ship itself can be recovered. Sulpicio has also named its contractor for this: Malayan Towage and Salvage Corporation (Salvtug). Salvtug has accepted the contract, but warned that its estimated operation cost is PHP2.25 billion to P4.5 billion, which is roughly equivalent to US$50 million to $100 million. Sulpicio had previously estimated that this exercise would cost P600 million.

The high cost is a potential problem as it is unclear who will pay. Sulpicio’s insurance does not cover salvage. Had Sulpicio been covered with protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance this would have been covered, but this is not required in the Philippines and so Sulpicio’s insurance agreement with Oriental Assurance Corporation only covered the hull, machinery and third-party injuries and damage.

It is likely that Sulpicio will pay for the recovery of the ferry, which has a gross weight of 23,824 tons, but as the ship poses a potential environmental hazard it has been suggested that the government should pay the costs initially to ensure work is done quickly, with Sulpicio to be charged later for this. However, for now it is unclear who will pay for the vessel’s recovery.

Feud between CNBC and The Daily Show continues to escalate

Posted on by

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

Jim Cramer, CNBC’s host of Mad Money, plans to appear on The Daily Show Thursday, in the midst of an escalating feud between Cramer and the Comedy Central show’s host, Jon Stewart.

Jim Cramer has been the only CNBC employee to publicly respond to Daily Show segments strongly criticizing the television business news channel’s financial coverage during the growing global recession, particularly focusing on specific remarks by made by Cramer.

The feud began on March 4, when The Daily Show aired an eight-minute clip lampooning CNBC. The comedy news show featured several clips of pundits, focusing particularly on predictions or reports by CNBC reporters that The Daily Show argued were overly optimistic or too strongly slanted in favor of the companies being discussed.

In one clip, a CNBC host reported Merrill Lynch said it would not need capital, which The Daily Show followed with a list of billions in bailout money the financial services firm has required since September. In another clip, Jim Cramer is shown allegedly affirming “Your money is safe in Bear Sterns”, followed by a Daily Show statement that the global investment bank went under six days later.

“If I’d only followed CNBC’s advice, I’d have a million dollars today,” Stewart said during the bit, “provided I’d started with a hundred million dollars.”

Although most CNBC reporters and executives declined to comment, Cramer defended himself in a column published Monday, claiming the clip was taken out of context. Cramer said he wasn’t talking about buying Bear Sterns stock, but simply reassuring a viewer that his liquidity held in Bear Sterns was safe.

“The absurdity astounds me,” Cramer said of the Daily Show bit. “The fact that I was right rankles me even more.”

Later that day, The Daily Show responded with another montage of clips, this time more specifically targeting Cramer.

“So Jim Cramer, I apologize,” Stewart said ironically, then promptly showcased video of Cramer suggesting the safety of Bear Stearns stock 5 days prior to the collapse of Bear Stearns on Mad Money’s Lighting Round. Provokingly, Jon Stewart then admitted, “He’s not saying literally ‘I’m asking you to buy Bear Stearns,’ for that you have to go back a full 7 weeks” this time showing video footage of Cramer on January 24, 2008, telling TheStreet.com TV viewers to specifically “buy Bear Stearns” stock 7 weeks before it collapsed.

The following day on March 10, Cramer responded again during a Tuesday appearance on the Today show, saying, “[Jon Stewart] is a comedian, and he’s decided to focus on some calls I made during a bull market. The guy is a comedian. Did I make a mistake? First of all, any time you recommend a stock and it goes down, you’ve made a mistake. Here’s a shocker: Almost every stock is down! Any stock you recommended is bad. You know, Warren Buffett, I could run tapes from him, he would look like a complete fool.”

The feud between The Daily Show and CNBC generated a significant amount of attention in the mainstream media. The Associated Press called the first Daily Show bit a “brutal takedown” of CNBC. Other publications, like New York magazine, defended CNBC, writing, “We doubt there’s a single news outlet that hasn’t made a misstatement regarding the economy in the past year.”

The Thursday Daily Show sketch ran the same day CNBC reporter Rick Santelli was scheduled to appear on the show, to discuss his vocal criticisms of President Barack Obama’s plans for dealing with foreclosures. Santelli cancelled the appearance, but Daily Show executives said the CNBC montage was not retaliatory and that they planned to show it before the cancellation was announced.

FEMA accused of misusing trained disaster workers as public-relations workers

Posted on by

Monday, September 12, 2005

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is being criticized for misallocation of personnel in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. FEMA representatives said they requested volunteers from fire departments around the U.S., to handle its community relations campaign. However, a document FEMA sent to local fire departments asked for firefighters with very specific skills and who were capable of working in “austere conditions”. Fire departments around the nation responded by sending crews to the FEMA staging ground in Atlanta. Some of these crews were unaware that they were only going to be used for public relations work. Others, however, merely hoped that FEMA would allocate them to rescue and damage control operations once it saw their qualifications.

The firefighter’s objections are particularly poignant as one of FEMA public relations training seminars coincided with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin plea for firefighters on national television, to relieve his own exhausted crews. It is unclear if FEMA’s request for firefighters prevented any municipalities from responding to Mayor Nagin’s request.

Some firefighters have objected to their use as FEMA public relations officers because their municipalities must bear the cost of their salaries, as well as endure reduced firefighting capacity. FEMA has stated that it sought to use firefighters to avoid background checks required of federal employees.

Firefighters began receiving their assignments Monday, September 5th. Among these was a crew of 50 assigned to tour the devastated areas with President Bush and the press.

US scientist creates ‘artificial life’

Posted on by

Friday, May 21, 2010

American biologist Craig Venter has announced that he has created the first ever “artificial life form” on Earth at the J. Craig Venter Institute, a U.S. laboratory and research center.

The breakthrough is the culmination of fifteen years of research and builds upon earlier work, research which saw the creation of a synthetic bacterial genome and the transplant of a genome from one species of bacteria into a second. “Synthia”, a nickname derived from synthetic lifeform, combines these two techniques to create a “new lifeform”.

A genome was created using synthetic chromosomes made from bottles of chemicals, the chromosomes sequenced to create a genome using as a template an existing bacterium. A bacterium from different species then had its own genome removed and the synthetic one transplanted in its place. Venter’s achievement is that the new genome switched on and the new cell was able to replicate. A process likened to the booting of a computer with a new operating system.

Venter’s achievement has been dismissed by some as falling short of a true technological breakthrough, claiming that rather than creating a new genome, that he has merely recreated the genome of an existing bacterium: “a technical tour de force” but not breakthrough science, according to Caltech geneticist David Baltimore.

Amongst the possibilities of artificial bacteria talked about are bacteria tailored to solve climate change by taking CO2 out of the atmosphere and to develop new vaccines. More complex organisms could include algae which would both be a source of biofuels and a CO2 remover. This is not, however, the instant solution to the Earth’s major problems. Although enough is now known to duplicate a genome, there is insufficient knowledge as to what the role of individual chromosomes within the genome do. Any advances in synthetic biology to design life forms would require a much greater understanding of how the creation of proteins are coded in a genome’s chromosomes.

Latham quits as Australian Labor leader

Posted on by

Tuesday, January 18, 2005

AUSTRALIA –Following hospitalisation for pancreatitis and ongoing speculation about his leadership, Mark Latham has resigned from his roles as leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and also the Federal Member for Werriwa. He cited as reasons the media harassment, and a desire to put his family and health first.

Mr Latham became leader of the ALP just over a year ago, on 2 December, 2003, leading the party during the October 2004 federal election. He was hospitalised in the run-up to that election, also for treatment of pancreatitis. Following the defeat of his party, his leadership increasingly came under question.

He fell ill a second time almost simultaneously with last year’s Indian Ocean tsunami disaster. His failure to issue a statement on the tsunami drew criticism from the media and calls for his resignation from within his own party, even after it was revealed that he had been incapacitated at the time.

Mr Latham’s resignation sidesteps the possibility of a leadership challenge by other members of the party and leaves no clear successor.

Space Shuttle Discovery launches

Posted on by

Tuesday, July 26, 2005

The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery roared into the Florida sky at 10:39AM ET (14:39 UTC), 2 weeks after the launch was scrubbed due to a faulty sensor. The launch was the start of the STS-114 mission, which is planned to be completed on August 7, 2005.

Solid rocket booster separation was triggered two minutes and five seconds into the flight after burnout of the putty-like fuel packed inside each rocket. The firing of explosive bolts freed the twin boosters from the side of the external tank, allowing them to peel away from the space shuttle. Parachutes were then automatically deployed from the boosters, allowing them to slowly descend into the Atlantic Ocean where they will be towed back to shore.

Discovery initiated the command for main engine cutoff, or MECO, at the 8-minute, 23-second mark. MECO shuts down the orbiter’s three powerful engines in the rear of Discovery after completing the “uphill” climb into space.

With the ascent into space complete and fuel in the external tank exhausted, Discovery jettisoned the orange canister. Following jettison, Commander Eileen Collins pitched the orbiter up until the tank could be sighted through the orbiter´s upper windows. Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi then took digital photographs and video of the external tank from a distance of just 1,500 feet.

Send Out Cards MLM Lead Generation: How You Can Enroll Send Out Cards Reps Every Day Effortlessly

Wayne Saloks

The Send Out Cards mlm lead generation technique that quite a few networking newbies are always instructed on from the very beginning is to look at cellphone contact list and come up with a list, at the very minimum, of at least 100 or more people they know. We are told to include family, friends, business associates, and so forth. We get done with our list and then begin going through the numbers. With excitement and joy we begin dialing hoping to get our list of possible future associates just as thrilled about taking a look at Send Out Cards . You feel great about what you have discovered and now want to help bring to the nation and world an opportunity that will perhaps be a financial solution. As Send Out Cards is a means to achieve both time freedom with financial freedom.

Send Out Cards MLM Lead Generation Among Family And FriendsIt doesn’t take long though after that first dial reality dampens our drive. We begin to find that prospects in our inner circle of family and friends are much more leary than we had believed about such offers. Our earlier enthusiasm diminishes and starts to wane as we trudge through our list. We are going the distance however and by no means going to stop now because of negativity. What drives us ahead is the understanding that we only need three or four to join out of the 100 people to get things started. So we continue ignoring the disinterested responses to get to the few “yes tell me more” responses. After sorting through our 100 phone numbers we have a few presentations booked. We begin to share our opportunity and even go as far as recruiting a few family and friends into Send Out Cards.However, usually, the senario that plays out from this “people you know” list is that it rarely get the results you are looking for over time for most people. That is if it is the only method being used. The reason being is that you reach the end of such a list eventually and there is no one else to talk to. Along with that fact, many of those that do sign up among family and friends will often quit working the business before any real measure of success. For this reason the family and friends list process actually works for less than 1% of the people who venture into network marketing.The Endless Network Marketing Leads ListWhat if you could have access to a constantly “self extending” potential recruit list of much better qualified prospects?

Imagine, no more dependence on the limitations of a “warm market” list. Well you really can create such a list by using a simple process and the power of the world wide web. You’ll succeed generating leads without using mlm company look alike websites or pitching prospects on your mlm business up front as you would in the offline world. The way it works is that it uses “value” that draws experienced networkers to you first. Network marketers are actually the best target market to prospect. A Send Out Cards MLM Lead Generation System That Pays You To ProspectThe strategy of generating a prospect list in such a way is called attraction marketing. The best part about setting up an attraction marketing system is its ability to put dollars in your bank account as you prospect. Even those who dont join your mlm business will participate in funding your recruiting efforts. You literally will get paid as you prospect using whats called a “funded proposal”.

Wikinews interviews Steve Burke, U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate

Posted on by

Sunday, December 13, 2015

 This article is a featured article. It is considered one of the best works of the Wikinews community. See Wikinews:Featured articles for more information.

Macomb, New York Councilman Steve Burke took some time to speak with Wikinews about his campaign for the U.S. Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nomination.

Burke, an insurance adjuster and farmer, was elected councilman in Brookhaven, New York in 1979. He left the town after being accused and found not guilty of bribery in the 1980s. Since 1987 he has served as Macomb councilman off-and-on and currently holds the post. From 1993 to 1996 and 1999 to 2002 he worked as chairman of the Democratic Party of St. Lawrence County, New York. Among his many political campaigns, Burke unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 1992 and recently attempted to run for U.S. Congress in 2014 but too many of his ballot petition signatures were found invalid. Burke filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in the 2016 election on September 18, 2015 and has qualified for the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Primary.

With Wikinews reporter William S. Saturn?, Burke discusses his political background, his 2016 presidential campaign, and his policy proposals.
