There was a high food shortage in 1946 and this caused many to ration. World War II left a deep wound in India as two and a half million Indian soldiers were sent to aid the allies and 24,000 killed. Many were unemployed as they lost their jobs after the war since there was no need for war production. Gandhi’s party, Indian national congress, created in 1885 seemed it would be the power that ruled after Britain left. This changed, however, as the All Muslim league became popular during World War II. Muslims were a minority compared to the Hindus. The Partition of 1947 created Pakistan, where the Muslims would live, and India, where the Hindus would live.

HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) Level II codes are updated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. HCPCS Level II codes are revised annually with implementation in Jaunary of each year. This means that coders have to stay up to date on all changes. Some of the ways coders can stay up to date include: getting updates from the CMS website; consulting with the ASCA website; network with other coders; and consulting local coverage determinations. There are also monthly newsletters published by the AMA called HCPCS Assistant that are considered an official coding resource by the CMS. The medical management software must be kept up to date to ensure the proper codes are being used. A coder should never use an older

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) encompasses those forms of communication excluding oral speech which enable an individual to express themselves (Bondy & Frost, 1994). It replicates non-functional speech for those individuals with verbal or language difficulties through augmentative aides (Light & Drager, 2007). Recent technological advances have resulted in the availability of electronic devices which can convert text and picture and communication boards, to generate voice output. As a consequence, individuals with communication challenges accessing alternative means with which to express themselves, and in effect improve their social interaction, academic achievements, whilst gaining increased self-determination (Light & Drager, 2007).

1. The AAPC, or American Academy of Professional Coders, is an organization that provides training and issues certification to medical insurance coders, medical practice managers and medical auditors. Employers consider AAPC certification a mark of competence in the medical billing and business support field.

ASA is commonly used to relieve pain. The reason is that pain-causing cells in the human body produce an enzyme, cylooxygenase-2, which can produce a chemical called prostaglandin. This chemical can send a message to the brain and make people feels pain in some part of body. ASA adheres to the cylooxygenase-2 in order to prevent it from producing prostaglandin. Therefore, the pain message does not reach the brain and less pain is felt.

Lonestar College is the first college that I study in the United States. Everything is new and completely different from my hometown but especially it is very impressive. It was very difficult for me to integrate and to properly handle everything, Lonestar College has helped me a lot, and since then Lonestar College has become very close to me as a second home.

In choosing branched chain amino acids for my ergogenic aid project, I took a few different things into account. When looking at the list provided to our class for this project, I told myself that I wanted a challenge. I wanted to work on a topic that I knew very little about to begin with. Some of the choices off of the ergogenic aid list seemed to easy and broad. Options such as protein and alcohol would seem to be rather easy and bland. To begin with, I had heard of amino acids and branched chain amino acids. However, I knew next to nothing about them. Instead of covering the broad topic of all the amino acids, this topic allowed myself to go deeper

The new advisory consist of three classes: Class A, Class AA, and Class AAA. Class A is where any student has a D or an F in any of their classes. Students who have at least a C- or better in all of their classes, but who have missing assignments in one or more classes are placed in a class AA advisory. Class AAA advisory is where students who have at least a C- or better in all of their classes, and no missing assignments in any of their classes. Many students agree with this new advisory system, but some also disagree. The new A, AA, and AAA advisory has its advantages and disadvantages.

This paper presents the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which is a behaviorally image based message that was developed in 1985 by Andrew S. Bondy Ph. D and Lori Frost, M.S., CCC/SLP in order to help children under the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to communicate with their environment. In this work I would like to present to the reader the theory behind this social intervention for children with autism which is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), then I want to explain the six phases of PECS, and the application within the classroom settings. At the end, these definitions would help us to better understand concepts and try to apply this technique in our diverse teaching-learning settings in order to help children under the Autism

When I was working at the Headstart we had a child in my class that had autism and he was completely nonverbal so in order to get him participating in class we would find way for him to communicate with us without actually having to use his voice. When we was working on colors in the class we would get blocks that was the same color we was talking about and have him show us the color we was asking for. If he got it wrong I would tell him the color again and let him try again if he got it wrong I would pick up the color block then show it to him. I would tell him what color it was and go on doing the same for each color. When we would work on counting we would give him blocks and have him hand us the amount of blocks we was asking for. When we was transitioning to new things we would make it a game so it didn’t overwhelm him and he would enjoy transitioning to new things. I believe with kids with special needs we need to think outside of the box. Just because they aren’t verbal doesn’t mean they aren’t taking everything we are talking about in. Creativity in the classroom is the key. We have to figure out what works for us and them. We have to set limits but we also have to expand the limits when it does come to certain children because our way isn’t necessary their way and that’s okay. I believe that making things simpler for children that do have a hard time communicating opens the door for them to also have a voice

AAS, or Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids, is an extremely harmful drug used by many body builders, athletes, and performers. Those who use this type of drug may use it for competition or to have a better looking body. Although they don’t realize how horrible this drug could affect them physically and mentally, people still use and abuse it to create their version of the perfect human body and to compete within top tiers. These drugs should not be used for any type of purposes except for medical.

Amongst the multitude of educational opportunities that has emerged over the years, one that has positively influenced my goals has been the Teaching and Learning Careers (TLC) academy. My educational goal is to obtain my teaching credentials and eventually get a job at an elementary school working as an ESL teacher. I am bilingual so that was the reason that sparked my interest in teaching students English who didn't speak it as their first language. The TLC academy has opened my eyes to learn about the variety of teachers there are in the education system. Through my involvement with TLC I have developed many transferable working skills like communication, organization, time management, taking instructions, being punctual, knowing how to

The Acadia, launched in 1913 out of Newcastle, England was the first vessel that was designed to handle the cold, ice filled waters to specifically survey Canada’s northern waters, such as the Hudson Bay or the south shore of Novia Scotia. This ship helped pioneer hydrographic research by taking measurements around Canada’s Arctic waters at the beginning of her career. The last operation this ship was used for was to chart the coast of Newfoundland, and these up to date charts replaced those that were a hundred years old.

\textit{Pneumatic compression therapy is one of the most effective treatments for venous and lymphatic disorders, yet these devices are expensive and difficult to use in daily life due to its restriction on patient mobility. Consequently, we have developed an autonomous wearable compression therapy (AWCT) device that can reconfigure the treatment pressure automatically based on user activity and provides the required treatment without the active involvement of the patient or the carer. However, there is no available evaluation system to validate the performance of the AWCT. This paper therefore presents development of a low-cost robot arm for the evaluation of wearable devices by simulating kinetic parameter changes during walking and running

This system of communication makes easier for the person with autism to let others know what their need or want, as well as reducing the frustration of the person with autism for not being able to communicate. Indeed, The Picture Exchange Communication System has many positive aspects and is a well-organized and supervised system.
