But, Ali thought, “What kind of time? What would that time do for Dad?” Ali decided that putting his dad through surgery and recovery was not in Wadi’s best interests. Wadi’s doctor suggested that surgery to remove part of a lung might slow down the course of the cancer and give Wadi more time. He is in a nursing facility and doesn’t seem to recognize Ali when he visits. Ali and Wadi’s StoryĪli’s father, Wadi, is 80 and has lung cancer, as well as advanced Parkinson’s disease. This is sometimes combined with substituted judgment. He decided to say no, and his mother died peacefully a few hours later.Īnother approach, known as best interests, is to decide what would be best for the dying person. Joseph remembered how his mother disapproved when an elderly neighbor was put on a similar machine after a stroke. The doctor asked Joseph if he wanted that to be done. The doctor said damage to Leilani’s brain was widespread and she needed to be put on a breathing machine (ventilator) or she would probably die. Joseph’s 90-year-old mother, Leilani, was in a coma after having a major stroke. Some experts believe that decisions should be based on substituted judgment whenever possible. One is to put yourself in the place of the person who is dying and try to choose as he or she would. How do you decide what type of care is right for someone? Even when you have written documents, some decisions still might not be clear since the documents may not address every situation you could face. It is even more difficult if you do not have written or verbal guidance (see Advance Care Planning: Healthcare Directives). It can be overwhelming to be asked to make healthcare decisions for someone who is dying and is no longer able to make his or her own decisions.

Deluge in italy10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() NASA Earth Observatory images by Lauren Dauphin, using Landsat data from the U.S. Some research has concluded that climatic factors were primarily responsible for the recovery. However, the efficacy of that effort has been difficult to parse since strong rains also fell during that period. The lake did see some recovery during a 10-year restoration program beginning in 2013. The relative effects of climate, water usage, and dams on Lake Urmia’s water level is a topic of debate. Because of this, the centuries have handed down to us an image of Michelangelo lying on his back, wiping sweat and plaster from his eyes as he toiled away. Recent studies have linked the low water levels in Lake Urmia with respiratory health impacts among the local population. To any visitor of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, two features become immediately and undeniably apparent: 1) the ceiling is really high up, and 2) there are a lot of paintings up there. However, with low lake levels, what water remains becomes more saline and taxes the populations of brine shrimp and other food sources for larger animals.Ī shrinking lake also increases the likelihood of dust from the exposed lakebed becoming swept up by winds and degrading air quality. The area provides breeding grounds for waterbirds such as flamingos, white pelicans, and white-headed ducks, as well as a stopover for migratory species. The lake, its islands, and surrounding wetlands comprise valuable habitat and are recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Ramsar site, and national park. Consecutive droughts, agricultural water use, and dam construction on rivers feeding the lake have contributed to the decline.Ī shrinking Lake Urmia has implications for ecological and human health. In 1995, Lake Urmia reached a high-water mark then in the ensuing two decades, the lake level dropped more than 7 meters (23 feet) and lost approximately 90 percent of its area. The longer-term trend for Urmia has been one toward drying. That's a new, all-time European record, meteorologists noted Tuesday. By the numbers: 29.2 inches of rainfell in 12 hours on Monday in Rossiglione, Genoa province, just south of Milan. Drier conditions have since brought levels back down. Northwestern Italy has been hit by record rainfall from a complex of thunderstorms, triggering flooding and mudslides, per AP. The replenishment followed a period of above-average precipitation that sent a surge of freshwater into the basin, expanding its watery footprint. It stands in contrast to the image from three years earlier (left), acquired by the OLI on Landsat 8 on September 8, 2020, when water filled most of the basin and salt deposits were only visible around the perimeter of the lake. On September 7, 2023, the OLI-2 (Operational Land Imager-2) on Landsat 9 captured this image (right) of the desiccated lakebed. ![]() The largest lake in the Middle East and one of the largest hypersaline lakes on Earth at its greatest extent, Lake Urmia has for the most part transformed into a vast, dry salt flat. After rapidly growing in volume just a few years earlier, northwest Iran’s Lake Urmia nearly dried out in autumn 2023.

If death results from an electric shock the cause of death is generally referred to as electrocution.Įlectric injury occurs upon contact of a body part with electricity that causes a sufficient current to pass through the person's tissues. Larger currents can result in tissue damage and may trigger ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. The loss of muscle control is the reason that a person may be unable to release themselves from the electrical source if this happens at a height as on a power line they can be thrown off. A strong electric shock can often cause painful muscle spasms severe enough to dislocate joints or even to break bones. However, a shock caused by low and otherwise harmless current could startle an individual and cause injury due to jerking away or falling. Very small currents may be imperceptible or only produce a light tingling sensation. The injury depends on the density of the current, tissue resistance and duration of contact.

Good sat score range10/30/2023 You might think about taking the test again for that reason alone. Even if you're happy with your scores, remember that a great SAT or ACT score will help you get scholarship money. When in doubt, take the test a second time. You can overcome low scores with great grades and an impressive application, but you might have to take some remedial courses as a freshman. Scores below 1100 on the SAT or a 15 on ACT are considered low, and you'll have a hard time getting accepted to just about any four-year college. (If you get test anxiety and didn't score so well on the SAT or ACT, but you have stellar grades and write an amazing essay, you could score slightly below minimum and still get in.) Note that the figures above are all rough estimates few schools publicize an absolute minimum acceptable score, and factors besides your college entrance exam play into the admission process. Here is a small list of universities and the unofficial estimates of the minimum scores on the SAT and ACT they will accept. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scoring 600 on each of the three parts of the SAT (for a combined score of 1800) puts you in the top 20% of national test takers scoring 700 on each section (for a combined score of 2100) puts you in the top 10%. If your goal is to attend an Ivy League or equally challenging school, you'll need an SAT or ACT score that's above average. The more selective schools won't admit a student with an average score.

Nfs most wanted 2012 drag race10/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Given Need for Speed's continued momentum - and the release of the adrenaline-fueled Payback and Heat since this writing - it seemed fitting to revisit this list. Classics like Gran Turismo and Forza come to mind - but it's hard to find a series that's as varied or innovative as this racer. From thrilling street racing to arcade-style action and open-world exploration, there's little turf that's remained uncovered by Need for Speed. Furthermore, you should be waiting for him to make a mistake. You will have to be very concentrated in order to score similar speeds. Updated by Stephen LaGioia: There are few racing franchises as longrunning or iconic as Need for Speed. This is a very difficult challenge, mostly because Razors BMW (the same one he won from you at the beginning of the Career mode) is EXTREMELY fast. Participants have to manually change gear as. This list will go full-throttle and take on the task of ranking every Need for Speed game from best to worst.
