Lokomotiv-Versuchsamt Grunewald | [
"After the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft was founded in 1925 the Railway Central Office (\"Eisenbahn-Zentralamt\" or \"EZA\") that had existed since 1906 was renamed to the Reichsbahn Central Office (\"Reichsbahnzentralamt\" or \"RZA\").",
"Amongst other things, they carried out numerous trials on steam locomotives and created the scientific basis for the performance measurement of railway vehicles.",
"From 1920 they were supported by the Lokomotiv-Versuchsamt Grunewald, a locomotive trials office based at the main railway workshop at Grunewald.",
"In 1936 there were 152 employees working for this research establishment.",
"In 1945 the work at Grunewald ended, due to the war, and was continued in East Germany at \"RAW\" Dessau as well as in Halle, and in West Germany initially at Göttingen, and later in Minden and München.",
"The Office had instrumentation vehicles, a rolling test bed with water brakes for locomotives and test rigs for various vehicle components.",
"The following employees are particularly closely associated with the establishment:",
"At the site today are a few Deutsche Bahn office buildings, several small firms and a golf course."

Princess Françoise of Orléans (1902–1953) | [
"Françoise d'Orléans was born in Paris, the second daughter of Jean d'Orléans, duc de Guise (an Orléanist pretender to the throne of France under the name Jean III) and his wife, the French Princess Isabelle of Orléans.",
"Françoise's brother, Prince Henri, Count of Paris, succeeded their father as the Orleanist pretender, under the name Henri VI.",
"In Palermo on 11 February 1929, she married Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark (1888–1940).",
"This was Christopher's second marriage - he was the youngest son of King George I of Greece (1845–1913) and his wife, Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna of Russia (1851–1926).",
"Through his father, he was thus a grandson of King Christian IX of Denmark (1818–1906), nicknamed \"the father-in-law of Europe\" due to his six children all marrying into other royal families.",
"This royal marriage was unusual in that era, with a Catholic marrying a non-Catholic (he was Greek Orthodox, whilst she was Roman Catholic).",
"They had only one child, the writer Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark (born 1939), whose marriage to the Greek artist Marina Karella (born 1940) did not conform to the laws of the royal house and thus deprived him of all right of succession to the Greek throne."

Voss Line | [
"The first documented idea of building a railway between Norway's two largest cities was launched by Voss forest supervisor Hans Gløersen on 24 August 1871 in the Bergensposten newspaper.",
"He suggested building the railway via Voss and Hallingdal to connect with the Krøderen Line.",
"Back in 1866 he had launched the idea of the Jæren Line.",
"Within days of the launch of the Bergen Line the city council had garnered support.",
"In 1872 the railway director Carl Abraham Pihl and two engineers went on a survey tour to look at the suggested line.",
"At the time it was common that proposals for railways came from local initiatives, and that local municipalities and private investors would then pay about 20% of the investments, the state covering the rest, mostly through foreign debt.",
"On 20 October 1871 two engineers traversed the two possible routes from Bergen to Voss; via Fana, Os and Hardangerfjord; and via Dale and Sørfjord.",
"Though covering a less populated area, the latter would be cheaper to build, and have less elevation.",
"A railway committee was created on 25 January 1872 with a limited mandate, which was increased on 20 December.",
"At the same time there was a dispute between the Ministry of Labour and Pihl about whether to prioritize the Bergen Line, but in July 1872 surveys were performed in person by Pihl and two engineers, and their report was positive.",
"At the same time he launched the idea of a branch line up Valdres to Lærdal.",
"By 1873 agreement had been reached as to the right-of-way to Voss, but not onwards towards Oslo.",
"On 13 January 1874 Bergen city council started issuing stock for the Voss Line, and to begin with 400,000 Norwegian speciedaler (NOK 1.6 million) was issued.",
"In the 1873 parliamentary election railway supporter Peter Jebsen was elected, spending the next few years furiously defending the railway.",
"Parliament did not endorse new railway projects in the 1874 session, instead making a complete plan for all railway construction, to be proposed by a committee.",
"When the report was launched on 20 March 1875, the Voss Line was not included since it could not show a higher profitability than 1%.",
"During the 1875 session there was not a majority for the Voss Line, partially due to the lack of capital available for local investors.",
"This was based on a claim from Johan Jørgen Schwartz, the chairman of the committee, that the investment costs were underestimated.",

"Construction finished in 1882 and some test services began, though not scheduled until the spring of 1883.",
"Official opening was on 11 July 1883.",
"Many of the navvies settled near the line, and started working for the Norwegian State Railways as part of the operation.",
"On 27 November 1909 the Bergen Line opened from Voss to Hønefoss, and the Voss Line lost its independent status.",
"The Bergen Line was built to standard gauge, so the line from Bergen to Voss had to be converted for the opening of the Bergen Line.",
"This was especially challenging because of the continuous traffic on the line, with 36 departures per day to Nesttun, six to Garnes and four to Voss.",
"In preparation a few curves had to be straightened, the tunnels widened and the bridges strengthened.",
"On the night of 10/11 August 1904 all the track was changed and in the morning the trains could operate on standard gauge to Voss.",
"Norway is a country with abundance of hydroelectricity and NSB saw huge amounts of money burned with imported coal.",
"Plans for electrification of the line are as old as the railway itself, and in 1912 the line from Nesttun to Bergen was proposed electrified and doubled, having seen the Thamshavn Line open with electric traction in 1908.",
"During the planning of the Hardanger Line and the Flåm Line during the 1930s the suggestion again arose, and both the branch lines were built with electric traction, but not the main line.",
"Counter suggestions were raised proposing a conversion to the locomotives running on oil or coal dust.",

"It was electrified in 1954, and shortened by the Ulriken Tunnel in 1963."

Voss Line | [
"The first documented idea of building a railway between Norway's two largest cities was launched by Voss forest supervisor Hans Gløersen on 24 August 1871 in the Bergensposten newspaper.",
"He suggested building the railway via Voss and Hallingdal to connect with the Krøderen Line.",
"Back in 1866 he had launched the idea of the Jæren Line.",
"Within days of the launch of the Bergen Line the city council had garnered support.",
"In 1872 the railway director Carl Abraham Pihl and two engineers went on a survey tour to look at the suggested line.",
"At the time it was common that proposals for railways came from local initiatives, and that local municipalities and private investors would then pay about 20% of the investments, the state covering the rest, mostly through foreign debt.",
"On 20 October 1871 two engineers traversed the two possible routes from Bergen to Voss; via Fana, Os and Hardangerfjord; and via Dale and Sørfjord.",
"Though covering a less populated area, the latter would be cheaper to build, and have less elevation.",
"A railway committee was created on 25 January 1872 with a limited mandate, which was increased on 20 December.",
"At the same time there was a dispute between the Ministry of Labour and Pihl about whether to prioritize the Bergen Line, but in July 1872 surveys were performed in person by Pihl and two engineers, and their report was positive.",
"At the same time he launched the idea of a branch line up Valdres to Lærdal.",
"By 1873 agreement had been reached as to the right-of-way to Voss, but not onwards towards Oslo.",
"On 13 January 1874 Bergen city council started issuing stock for the Voss Line, and to begin with 400,000 Norwegian speciedaler (NOK 1.6 million) was issued.",
"In the 1873 parliamentary election railway supporter Peter Jebsen was elected, spending the next few years furiously defending the railway.",
"Parliament did not endorse new railway projects in the 1874 session, instead making a complete plan for all railway construction, to be proposed by a committee.",
"When the report was launched on 20 March 1875, the Voss Line was not included since it could not show a higher profitability than 1%.",
"During the 1875 session there was not a majority for the Voss Line, partially due to the lack of capital available for local investors.",
"This was based on a claim from Johan Jørgen Schwartz, the chairman of the committee, that the investment costs were underestimated.",
"This was countered by Nils Henrik Bruun, a constructor from Bergen, who was willing to construct all the tunnels for less than the budgeted sum.",
"When Jebsen in addition was willing to act as personal guarantor for Bruun in case of his death, the majority in the parliament shifted.",
"On 9 June 1875 parliament voted 61 to 42 to build the line.",
"The line was built to narrow gauge, .",
"Construction started in December 1875, while the largest part started in March 1876.",
"During the winter the engineers had made final adjustments to the plans.",
"At any given time at least 800 men worked on construction, and at the peak 1,800 men were employed.",
"They worked 12 hours per day, for which they had a daily wage of NOK 2.55, the highest wage for navvies in the country.",
"To a large extent the labor came from Sweden, who had just finished the Norway/Väneren Line and had an excess of skilled labor for construction.",
"This import of labor had the effect of pumping money into the local economy, and several taverns were built along the line.",
"There were some accidents, and several deaths among the workers.",
"Construction finished in 1882 and some test services began, though not scheduled until the spring of 1883.",
"Official opening was on 11 July 1883.",
"Many of the navvies settled near the line, and started working for the Norwegian State Railways as part of the operation.",
"On 27 November 1909 the Bergen Line opened from Voss to Hønefoss, and the Voss Line lost its independent status.",
"The Bergen Line was built to standard gauge, so the line from Bergen to Voss had to be converted for the opening of the Bergen Line.",
"This was especially challenging because of the continuous traffic on the line, with 36 departures per day to Nesttun, six to Garnes and four to Voss.",
"In preparation a few curves had to be straightened, the tunnels widened and the bridges strengthened.",
"On the night of 10/11 August 1904 all the track was changed and in the morning the trains could operate on standard gauge to Voss.",
"Norway is a country with abundance of hydroelectricity and NSB saw huge amounts of money burned with imported coal.",
"Plans for electrification of the line are as old as the railway itself, and in 1912 the line from Nesttun to Bergen was proposed electrified and doubled, having seen the Thamshavn Line open with electric traction in 1908.",
"During the planning of the Hardanger Line and the Flåm Line during the 1930s the suggestion again arose, and both the branch lines were built with electric traction, but not the main line.",
"Counter suggestions were raised proposing a conversion to the locomotives running on oil or coal dust.",
"In 1939 a plan for national electrification was launched, and the Voss Line was top priority.",
"But the outbreak of World War II set the plans back, and not until the 1950s was it again possible to afford such investments.",
"Electric traction came into use on 2 July 1954.",
"The first from Bergen to Takvam went a very roundabout way, and it was clear that it would be possible to reduce the line by with the construction of Ulriken Tunnel (), Arnanipa Tunnel () and Tunestveit Tunnel ().",
"The idea was approved by parliament in 1956, based on private financing from the businessman Fritz Rieber.",
"Construction started in 1959 with the tunnels being finished in 1963 while the tracks were finished laid on 29 May 1964 when the first train entered the tunnel.",

"The River Wansbeck Valley is narrow and steep and as a consequence has exaggerated amounts of surface runoff.",
"Based on three storm events, a reliable flow gauge located upstream of Morpeth at the confluence of the Wansbeck and Font showed that 99.9% of rain fall is converted into surface runoff.",
"Because the soil was already saturated as a result of the wet summer, the effect of surface runoff was greatly enhanced.",
"Furthermore, increased urbanisation since the 1960s in Morpeth meant that most water falling on the town would have drained directly to the river channel.",
"Other tests investigating the catchment lag time (time lapse between the midpoint of storm rainfall and peak river level) indicate that the Wansbeck has a lag time of only 8 hours.",
"This means that any water falling in the catchment area would have been rapidly converted into channel flow by surface runoff and to a lesser extent by throughflow.",

"During 6 September 2008, more than 400 residents were evacuated.",
"Shelter was provided in the Town Hall, King Edward VI High School and County Hall.",
"An error made by the Environment Agency's warning system meant that 198 properties in the Middle Greens area of the town did not receive a flood warning.",
"Fire fighters, ambulance crews, the RAF, the RNLI and the British Red Cross were among the emergency services involved in rescue and recovery operations over the weekend, as well as some local nurses, GPs, a pharmacist and school staff who volunteered once the news of the flood broke out.",

Pearson v. Callahan | [
"In 2002, a confidential police informant working with five officers from the Central Utah Narcotics Task Force went undercover at the Fillmore, Utah mobile home of a suspected drug dealer, Afton D. Callahan, to purchase $100 worth of methamphetamine.",
"The officers had arranged for the informant, who was \"wired\" with a listening device, to give them a sign indicating a successful drug deal; when he did, they entered the home.",
"The case focuses on \"consent once removed,\" a theory espoused by some lower courts that acts as an exception to the search warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment.",
"Under the doctrine, if a suspect to a crime opens the door for an undercover police officer, the suspect unknowingly is also allowing further police officers to enter without a warrant.",
"In the criminal case at issue in this civil case, the police officers sent an undercover informant in to make a drug deal.",
"When the informant succeeded, the police officers then entered Callahan's home without a warrant.",
"The police in the case argued that \"consent once removed\" applied, since the informant was acting as an agent of the police.",
"The criminal charges against Callahan were prosecuted in Utah state court.",
"The judge rejected Callahan's argument that the evidence obtained from the search was not admissible because the search was unconstitutional, and Callahan accepted a conditional guilty plea while he appealed the judgment.",
"A Utah appeals court found the search unconstitutional and overturned the guilty verdict.",
"Callahan then filed a civil lawsuit against five members of the Central Utah Narcotics Task Force who had conducted the search, claiming they violated his Fourth Amendment rights.",
"If the case was not decided in the officers' favor, they would face the prospect of paying monetary damages to the plaintiff.",
"The officers claimed that they could not be sued due to qualified immunity, a doctrine that states government officials cannot be held liable for violating a facet of the Constitution that is unclear.",
"The question had divided lower courts, which disagreed about the \"consent once removed\" doctrine.",
"Federal judge Paul G. Cassell said in 2006 that even if the search was unconstitutional, the police officers could be granted immunity because at the time of the search, it would have been reasonable for them to believe that it was constitutional.",
"He noted that three federal circuits abided by \"consent once removed,\" although not the Tenth, in whose jurisdiction Utah falls.",
"However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled against the officers' claim of immunity and allowed Callahan to proceed with the lawsuit.",
"The court did not adopt \"consent once removed\" as other federal circuits have done.",
"The appeals court said that a reasonable police officer would have known not to proceed in the case without a warrant.",

"Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court dealing with the doctrine of qualified immunity."
] |
Pearson v. Callahan | [
"In 2002, a confidential police informant working with five officers from the Central Utah Narcotics Task Force went undercover at the Fillmore, Utah mobile home of a suspected drug dealer, Afton D. Callahan, to purchase $100 worth of methamphetamine.",
"The officers had arranged for the informant, who was \"wired\" with a listening device, to give them a sign indicating a successful drug deal; when he did, they entered the home.",
"The case focuses on \"consent once removed,\" a theory espoused by some lower courts that acts as an exception to the search warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment.",
"Under the doctrine, if a suspect to a crime opens the door for an undercover police officer, the suspect unknowingly is also allowing further police officers to enter without a warrant.",
"In the criminal case at issue in this civil case, the police officers sent an undercover informant in to make a drug deal.",
"When the informant succeeded, the police officers then entered Callahan's home without a warrant.",
"The police in the case argued that \"consent once removed\" applied, since the informant was acting as an agent of the police.",
"The criminal charges against Callahan were prosecuted in Utah state court.",
"The judge rejected Callahan's argument that the evidence obtained from the search was not admissible because the search was unconstitutional, and Callahan accepted a conditional guilty plea while he appealed the judgment.",
"A Utah appeals court found the search unconstitutional and overturned the guilty verdict.",
"Callahan then filed a civil lawsuit against five members of the Central Utah Narcotics Task Force who had conducted the search, claiming they violated his Fourth Amendment rights.",
"If the case was not decided in the officers' favor, they would face the prospect of paying monetary damages to the plaintiff.",
"The officers claimed that they could not be sued due to qualified immunity, a doctrine that states government officials cannot be held liable for violating a facet of the Constitution that is unclear.",
"The question had divided lower courts, which disagreed about the \"consent once removed\" doctrine.",
"Federal judge Paul G. Cassell said in 2006 that even if the search was unconstitutional, the police officers could be granted immunity because at the time of the search, it would have been reasonable for them to believe that it was constitutional.",
"He noted that three federal circuits abided by \"consent once removed,\" although not the Tenth, in whose jurisdiction Utah falls.",
"However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled against the officers' claim of immunity and allowed Callahan to proceed with the lawsuit.",
"The court did not adopt \"consent once removed\" as other federal circuits have done.",
"The appeals court said that a reasonable police officer would have known not to proceed in the case without a warrant.",
"The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in March 2008.",
"The Court added another issue to the officers' request for certiorari: how to deal with officers' requests for immunity from constitutional issues.",
"This issue was last heard in the Supreme Court in 2001 in \"Saucier v. Katz\", in which the Court ruled that such suits had to be adjudicated in two phases: first, deciding the constitutionality, and then deciding if the law had been unclear enough for officers not to be liable.",

Princess Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt (1757–1830) | [
"The princess belonged to the House of Darmstadt, which held the Hessian landgraviate.",
"She was born on 30 January 1757 in Frederick II's Prussian capital, Berlin, where her parents were due to the Seven Years' War.",
"Her father Louis IX succeeded to the landgraviate in 1768 and was at the time of her birth fighting as a general for the Prussian forces.",
"He was thus often away from his children and so the princess's education was in her mother Caroline's hands.",
"Caroline educated Louise in the evangelical Protestant tradition, and she became interested in literature and music.",
"As the youngest daughter, with eight siblings, Louise's education was important to improve her marriage prospects.",
"Since Louis IX showed little interest in his children, it was vital to get Louise married off and a matter also in the hands of her mother, becoming known as the \"great Landgräfin\" and von Zweibrücken due to her expert international dynastic politics in ancien regime Europe.",
"In 1773 Louise travelled with her mother and sisters Amalie and Wilhelmine to Beschau then to the Russian court in St Petersburg.",
"Tsarina Catharine II decided Louise was unsuitable as a wife for the grand-prince and future Tsar Paul, preferring her sister Wilhemine.",
"This rebuff and her relationship with her future brother-in-law Paul formed Louise, leading to her being a persistent influence in the Russian state.",
"Nevertheless, this journey was not without influence on Louise, since on the way to Russia Caroline had learned of another female regent of a small German state - Anna Amalia.",
"Anna and Louise probably found favour together.",
"At the end of this acquaintance, under the influence of the governor in Erfurt from the Archbishopric of Mainz, Karl Theodor Anton Maria von Dalberg, the 18-year-old Louise was betrothed to the young knight Carl August of Sachsen-Weimar.",
"The marriage occurred on 3 October 1775 at the Karlsruher court, where (as a new princess-consort) Louise became caught up in the Ernestine Weimar court.",
"The marriage was wholly dynastic in purpose (her sisters were married off to heir to Prussia and the Tsarevitch), consolidating the duchy of Saxe-Weimar's place at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire.",
"Primary and secondary sources agree that it was as unhappy, with Louise (noted for her delicacy and timidity) had difficulty fitting in at court and remained in the shadow of her mother-in-law, the dowager duchess Anna Amalia.",
"Louise especially attended the convents in her new country.",
"A Romantic \"avant la lettre\", she did not have a taste for the Romantic lifestyle.",
"Goethe was court poet and minister to her husband (and his companion in his extra-marital affairs), but was moved by her charm, noble-heartedness and her eyes \"the colour of cornflowers\".",
"Taking her under his wing, Goethe dedicated the following words to her:\nAfter four years of marriage, in 1779 Louise finally gave birth her first child; sadly, wasn't the hoped male heir but a daughter, named after her and lived only five years; her next pregnancy, in 1781, produced a second daughter who died immediately after birth.",
"At this time the Weimar ducal court also went through its sturm und drang phase, drawing not only Goethe but also the Ernestines from Miseleien and Eseleien.",
"The resulting emotional coldness did not help their marriage, with her husband publicly humiliating the marriage by a long-term affair with the actress Karoline Jagemann.",
"Louise only gave him the heir in 1783, with the birth of Charles Frederick; after him, followed four more children, of whom two survive infancy: Caroline Louise in 1786 and Bernhard in 1792.",
"With the birth of Bernhard the marriage had finally served its purpose of guaranteeing the succession to the throne and the continuation of the dynasty.",
"Charles Frederick later married Maria (sister of Alexander I of Russia, and their daughter Augusta of Saxe-Weimar married prince Wilhelm of Prussia, thus becoming the first empress of Germany.",
"Louise had her great moment in October 1806.",
"Despite her childhood and her early experiences in Weimar, she was a great influence in literary circles.",
"The battle of Jena-Auerstedt (14 October), led to the defeat of the Prussian-Saxon forces and the total submission of all the German states to France and precipitated the fall of the Holy Roman Empire.",
"Soon after the battle, the victorious French troops advanced on Weimar.",
"The other family members either fled or were away fighting in the Prussian forces, and so Louise remained in Weimar as mother and protector of the nation.",
"Two days after the battle she ended up opposing Napoleon himself.",
"He insisted that her husband withdraw from Prussian military service but she quite undiplomatically made it clear to Napoleon that he could not do so.",
"Nevertheless, at her husband's request and inspired by the example of the German patriot queen Louise of Prussia, she managed to arrange the French plundering of the area so that Weimar got off lightly compared to the university-city of Jena.",
"Whether Napoleon let himself soften towards Louise, or whether he acted this way due to his own calculations in power-politics remains open to discussion.",
"The Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach duchy remained with the alliance upon the Treaty of Poznań and survived the Napoleonic era via further politicking.",
"Since Louise was now considered as the country's leader, and her subjects and contemporaries maintained this image of her - along with her part in the Weimar myth.",
"In 1815 her politicking during the war ensured that at the Congress of Vienna her husband's small duchy not only retained all its territory but rose to become a grand duchy (her Thuringian cousins the house of Saxony, in contrast, merely preserved their title of duke).",
"She then became devoted to ambassadorial duties.",
"The Russian alliance ended with her successor Maria Pawlowna.",
"The jubilee of her rule and her golden wedding, both in 1825, passed with little celebration and - already very withdrawn - she died aged 73 on 14 February 1830.",
"She and Charles Augustus had 7 children, of whom only three survive adulthood:",
"Louise's letters to her parents, grandmother and other persons, written between 1760 and 1776, are preserved in the Hessian State Archive (Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt) in Darmstadt, Germany."

"On 3 October 1775 she married duke (later grand-duke)"
] |
Princess Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt (1757–1830) | [
"The princess belonged to the House of Darmstadt, which held the Hessian landgraviate.",
"She was born on 30 January 1757 in Frederick II's Prussian capital, Berlin, where her parents were due to the Seven Years' War.",
"Her father Louis IX succeeded to the landgraviate in 1768 and was at the time of her birth fighting as a general for the Prussian forces.",
"He was thus often away from his children and so the princess's education was in her mother Caroline's hands.",
"Caroline educated Louise in the evangelical Protestant tradition, and she became interested in literature and music.",
"As the youngest daughter, with eight siblings, Louise's education was important to improve her marriage prospects.",
"Since Louis IX showed little interest in his children, it was vital to get Louise married off and a matter also in the hands of her mother, becoming known as the \"great Landgräfin\" and von Zweibrücken due to her expert international dynastic politics in ancien regime Europe.",
"In 1773 Louise travelled with her mother and sisters Amalie and Wilhelmine to Beschau then to the Russian court in St Petersburg.",
"Tsarina Catharine II decided Louise was unsuitable as a wife for the grand-prince and future Tsar Paul, preferring her sister Wilhemine.",
"This rebuff and her relationship with her future brother-in-law Paul formed Louise, leading to her being a persistent influence in the Russian state.",
"Nevertheless, this journey was not without influence on Louise, since on the way to Russia Caroline had learned of another female regent of a small German state - Anna Amalia.",
"Anna and Louise probably found favour together.",
"At the end of this acquaintance, under the influence of the governor in Erfurt from the Archbishopric of Mainz, Karl Theodor Anton Maria von Dalberg, the 18-year-old Louise was betrothed to the young knight Carl August of Sachsen-Weimar.",
"The marriage occurred on 3 October 1775 at the Karlsruher court, where (as a new princess-consort) Louise became caught up in the Ernestine Weimar court.",
"The marriage was wholly dynastic in purpose (her sisters were married off to heir to Prussia and the Tsarevitch), consolidating the duchy of Saxe-Weimar's place at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire.",
"Primary and secondary sources agree that it was as unhappy, with Louise (noted for her delicacy and timidity) had difficulty fitting in at court and remained in the shadow of her mother-in-law, the dowager duchess Anna Amalia.",
"Louise especially attended the convents in her new country.",
"A Romantic \"avant la lettre\", she did not have a taste for the Romantic lifestyle.",
"Goethe was court poet and minister to her husband (and his companion in his extra-marital affairs), but was moved by her charm, noble-heartedness and her eyes \"the colour of cornflowers\".",
"Taking her under his wing, Goethe dedicated the following words to her:\nAfter four years of marriage, in 1779 Louise finally gave birth her first child; sadly, wasn't the hoped male heir but a daughter, named after her and lived only five years; her next pregnancy, in 1781, produced a second daughter who died immediately after birth.",
"At this time the Weimar ducal court also went through its sturm und drang phase, drawing not only Goethe but also the Ernestines from Miseleien and Eseleien.",
"The resulting emotional coldness did not help their marriage, with her husband publicly humiliating the marriage by a long-term affair with the actress Karoline Jagemann.",
"Louise only gave him the heir in 1783, with the birth of Charles Frederick; after him, followed four more children, of whom two survive infancy: Caroline Louise in 1786 and Bernhard in 1792.",
"With the birth of Bernhard the marriage had finally served its purpose of guaranteeing the succession to the throne and the continuation of the dynasty.",
"Charles Frederick later married Maria (sister of Alexander I of Russia, and their daughter Augusta of Saxe-Weimar married prince Wilhelm of Prussia, thus becoming the first empress of Germany.",
"Louise had her great moment in October 1806.",
"Despite her childhood and her early experiences in Weimar, she was a great influence in literary circles.",
"The battle of Jena-Auerstedt (14 October), led to the defeat of the Prussian-Saxon forces and the total submission of all the German states to France and precipitated the fall of the Holy Roman Empire.",
"Soon after the battle, the victorious French troops advanced on Weimar.",
"The other family members either fled or were away fighting in the Prussian forces, and so Louise remained in Weimar as mother and protector of the nation.",
"Two days after the battle she ended up opposing Napoleon himself.",
"He insisted that her husband withdraw from Prussian military service but she quite undiplomatically made it clear to Napoleon that he could not do so.",
"Nevertheless, at her husband's request and inspired by the example of the German patriot queen Louise of Prussia, she managed to arrange the French plundering of the area so that Weimar got off lightly compared to the university-city of Jena.",

"\"The New York Times\" observed that Smith's arpeggio on the song \"went from the lowest to the highest reaches of the guitar, all in one fluid movement\".",
"\"Echo and Twang\" characterized it as \"complete with Smith's clear, reverb-tinged sound, his fleet-fingered but relaxed three-octave runs, and above all his lush, close-voiced, chord melody style\".",

"Several other tracks were singled out in \"The Electric Guitar: A History of an American Icon\", by A. J. Millard, who theorized that Smith's playing style was influenced by his history as a trumpeter and his experiences in the NBC Studio Orchestra, which required extensive sight reading.",
"According to Millard, in \"Moonlight in Vermont\" and \"Tenderly\", Smith's chord melodies resemble piano, while in \"Sometimes I'm Happy\" and \"Tabú\" the guitar becomes hornlike at midrange, with the electric guitar resembling a saxophone overall.",
"Originally released on the Roost Records label, catalog RST-2211, the album has been subsequently reissued in an expanded CD form in 1994 on Roulette Records, who had acquired the Roost Collection in 1958.",
"The expanded CD includes all of the tracks from the original album and incorporates most of the artist's recordings from that and the subsequent year, with the exception of three songs.",
"One of the tracks, an alternative take on the Smith-penned \"Jaguar\", was previously unreleased.",

Enterovirus E | [
"In common with other picornaviruses, the capsid of BEV is composed of 60 copies of each of four structural proteins, VP1, VP2, VP3 and VP4, in icosahedral symmetry, at about 27 nm in diameter, and enclosing a single stranded positive sense RNA genome of about 7,500 bases.",
"The capsid is not enveloped and roughly spherical with an outer radius of 159 Ångströms and an inner radius of 107 Å.",
"The outer surface of BEV is smoother than the closely related poliovirus due to the truncation of surface protein loops in BEV.",
"It is also smoother than the related human rhinovirus due to the extension of a surface loop in BEV.",
"The three antigenic sites of BEV all occur on a surface ridge at the junction between VP1, VP2, and VP3.",
"BEV has a crater-like depression at the icosahedral 5-fold axis which descends into a cylindrical hole of 10 Å in diameter which runs almost to the inner surface of the capsid.",
"A hydrophobic pocket contained within VP1 contains a myristic acid molecule, the removal of which appears to be a prerequisite for virus uncoating.",
"To replicate, BEV must attach to the host cell surface receptor, penetrate into the cell cytoplasm, and the genome must be uncoated.",
"The host cell surface receptor for BEV has yet to be identified, but is sensitive to neuraminidase.",
"BEVs were originally classified into seven serotypes, but are now accepted as falling into two serotypes, 1 and 2, which are further classified into subtypes.",
"BEV strain VG-5-27 of serotype 1, subtype 1, is the most extensively studied.",
"The tissue tropism of serotype 1 is extremely broad, including human, sheep, horse, dog, camel, and other mammalian hosts.",
"BEV-like sequences have even been reported in shellfish from water contaminated with bovine faeces.",
"Serotype 2 viruses are only found in domestic cattle.",
"Most cattle show no clinical signs when infected with the virus.",
"However abortion, stillbirth, infertility, and neonatal mortality can occur following infection of the reproductive tract.",
"Enteric signs include diarrhea and weight loss, and respiratory infection can produce a mucoid nasal discharge.",
"As clinical signs are fairly nonspecific and bovine enterovirus is ubiquitous in cattle populations, other causes of disease must be ruled out before diagnosing enterovirus as the cause of disease.",
"Electron microscopy, PCR, complement fixation, antibody fluorescence, neutralization test, and haemagglutination can be used to identify the virus in tissues or secretions.",
"Treatment is symptomatic.",
"Appropriate isolation and hygiene measures should be employed to minimise the spread of disease during an outbreak.",
"The virus has been investigated for its antitumor capabilities, as it is capable of replicating within breast cancer cell lines and producing a cytopathic effect in human monocytes."

"She was educated at Sainte-Suzanne, where her father had a plantation, and at Bordeaux, where in 1768 she married Jean-Cyrille Guesnon de Bonneuil, who had a post in the household of the comtesse d’Artois.",
"She then came to Paris where her beauty, charm, conversation and talents in singing and painting (Hubert Robert gave her painting lessons in the Sainte-Pélagie Prison and she exhibited her floral still lifes at the 1795 Salon) made herself famous in artistocratic and intellectual circles.",
"Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, her painting-tutor and friend, called her \"the most beautiful lady in Paris\", and she had her portrait produced by the pastellist Rosalie Filleul, the painter Alexander Roslin (who portrayed her in \"African\" costume), the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne and many other artists.",
"A friend of poets, she belonged to the anacreontic circle at Marly known as \"la Caserne\", a strong institution freely inspired by Freemasonry.",
"Its main hosts were three knight-poets - Évariste de Parny (author of erotic poetry), (who celebrated his sister Marie-Catherine under the name Eucharis) and Michel de Cubières.",
"To finance new bribery within the princely household by her husband, Michelle de Bonneuil joined her sisters Marie-Catherine and Augustine-Françoise, Mmme Thilorier - the future Mme Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil - as mistress to the rich financier Nicolas Beaujon, residing for some time at the hôtel d'Évreux.",
"It was without doubt during this era of extreme dissipation that she met the Swiss banker Jean-Frédéric Perrégaux who she returned to at intervals until some time during the First Empire On his death, Nicolas Beaujon left her 100,000 livres that he had advanced her during his life.",
"According to the painter John Trumbull on a trip to Paris, she moved in the highest spheres of French society and had come to be known as \"comtesse de Bonneuil\" - he wrote \"de Bonouil\" and was one of the most splendid ladies that he had never met.",

"Her sister's two husbands - Jacques Thilorier and Jean-Jacques Duval d'Eprémesnil -both belonged to the Loge des Neuf Sœurs, and it is very possible that Mme de Bonneuil was herself initiated into one of the Loges d'adoption féminine, before turning her back on the new ideas and the principals of philosophy which - after the Reign of Terror - she sincerely thought had led to the \"reign of the Jacobins\".",
"In dispatches she wrote from Spain, she alluded to the Jacobins, who she held responsible for the horrors of the Terror, having not only narrowly escaped the guillotine herself but also lost her sister, brother-in-law and many of her friends (including the poet André Chénier who celebrated her in his \"Élégies\" under the names \"Camille\" (anagram of \"Micaëlle\" or Michelle) or \"d.z.n\" (of \"Sentuary d’Azan\") to it.",

"From 1791, she was implicated in counter-revolutionary projects, of which few were as badly executed as the royal family's planned escape with others from the hôtel d'Esclignac, which ended in the plotters' arrest on 18 April 1791.",
"She was linked in friendship with the most famous of the counter-revolutionaries, such as Louis-Alexandre de Launay comte d’Antraigues who she pretended to take to Le Scioto, in the United States, with \"only one of her hair\".",
"In spring 1802, profiting from the treaty of Amiens and the opening of England to French men and women (closed to them since 1797), Mme de Bonneuil left for London where the new French ambassador Otto saw her passport in July 1802.",

Foul (sports) | [
"Fouls don't always affect game control, therefore referees need to find a balance for the right opportunities for risks to be let go for the game flow to continue.",
"Risks fouls play in sports depend on the sort of action by the guilty player upon an opposing victim.",
"Appropriate risks, that are borderline fouls, all falls down to the location on field, whether it was really intentional, the type of 'challenge' posed upon players and whether it will impact on game control and the game outcome.",
"Referees try to eliminate unnecessary stoppages, considering the players prior behaviour and whether they have a bad reputation or continual intent to foul.",
"Minor fouls that are often overlooked by referees as they are not jeopardising a players safety, having no intent to be reckless, careless or show excessive force.",
"They are also overlooked when opposing players do not feel threatened of have any anticipation of the foul happening again and not purposely trying to stop play and slow down the game flow.",
"FIFA, the governing body of Football (Soccer), have set rules, which is documented in the association's official handbook.",
"The main referee ensures that the game is played fairly and that each player follows the set rules.",
"However, if there is an infraction, the referee has the power to stop play and take disciplinary action.",
"There are three types of solutions a team can be awarded when a player with possession of the ball is fouled by the defending team.",
"Direct Free Kick is issued when an opposing player commits a foul that is careless, reckless, or any act that will cause harm to their opponent.",
"Most fouls occur when a defender first makes contact with the player rather than the ball.",
"This also applies to a player that handles the ball; depending on the referees decision the offender can receive further punishment (yellow or red card).",
"Similar to the Direct Free Kick, the Indirect Free Kick restarts the play.",
"The team given an Indirect Free Kick is unable to score from the spot.",
"It first has to touch a player on the same team in order to resume play.",
"When a free kick is being performed, the opposing team has to be at least 10 yards from where the ball is going to be struck.",
"Lastly, the Penalty Kick is another form of advantage play when the opposing team disobeys the rules.",
"However, a penalty is only awarded when the offence is committed in the opposing players own box.",
"It is then taken in one spot, 12 yards out from the goal, regardless of where the foul was committed.",
"Soon after any of these free kicks have been issued.",
"The referee has the decision to take further disciplinary action.",
"The perpetrator is then issued either a yellow or red card, depending on the severity of the action.",
"As fouls are often the result of a defender failing to touch the ball while touching the opponent, the (etymologically paradox) notion is widespread that a normal foul is not incompatible with personal fairness and sportsmanship.",
"Certain dangerous acts are considered unfair play in cricket, such as an intentionally bowled beamer (a ball thrown at a batter above the waist, potentially at the head).",
"The entitlement of a sports person to commit fouls can be abused and used as an excuse to hurt or injure other players on the field.",
"Fouls on the sporting field can be used in a malicious way to purposefully hurt or settle disputes with other players.",
"For example, in a game against Manchester City F.C. and Manchester United F.C. held in 2002 Roy Keane claimed that he intentionally committed a horrible foul to injure Alfie Haaland, a member of the opposing team.",
"This was done in retaliation for a match between Leeds United F.C. and Manchester United in which Haaland was a player for Leeds at that time.",
"When Roy Keane was fouled, Haaland made fun of him and told him to get up and stop faking the injury, thus culminating into the aforementioned revenge tackle.",
"Another way in which fouls are controversially abused in sport is when players pretend to be fouled by another player.",
"This results in players receiving unfair penalties and the so-called 'victims' receiving free-kicks and other rewards unjustly.",
"One sport where this practice is common is Association Football.",
"In football players are known to perform Diving (association football) which is the practice of pretending to fall over as a result of an opponent tripping you over.",
"Although diving produces outrage and controversy amongst many football fans, it is commonly practised amongst professionals and amateurs alike.",
"Referees come across these situations regularly.",
"At such a fast tempo, they have to make a rash decision on whether or not the player performed a dive or they were legitimately fouled.",
"A test by Peter G. Renden was done to determine if motor experience in football contributes to the ability to recognise dives in potential tackle situations.",
"This study showed, experienced players as well as referees were able to pin point the differences.",
"In comparison, fans and novice participants that had little experience to recognise the difference between a dive and foul showed a lower result.",
"Players also try to intimidate their opposing sides to give them a psychological edge.",
"Fans sadly encourage this sort of behaviour, feeling the tension rise and wanting to see reactions from players as a thrilling scene.",
"Opposing sides like to get a retaliation from other players, forcing them into an aggressive attitude that will lead them down the track of unnecessary physical conduct.",
"This excitement fans get from visualising such unethical behaviour leaves them with the thoughts of such actions being alright.",
"In some cases, the actual severity of fouls aren't always picked up by the referee during the game.",
"This results in the association of the sport to look into the issue further.",

Organic user interface | [
"According to Vertegaal and Poupyrev, there are three general types of organic user interface:\nFlexible (or deformable) user interfaces: When flexible displays are deployed, shape deformation, e.g., through bends, is a key form of input for OUI.",
"Flexible display technologies include flexible OLED (FOLED) and flexible E Ink, or can be simulated through 3D active projection mapping.",
"Shaped user interfaces: Displays with a static non-flat display.",
"The physical shape is chosen so as to better support the main function of the interface.",
"Shapes may include spheres, cylinders or take the form of everyday objects.",
"Actuated (or kinetic) user interfaces: Displays with a programmable shape controlled by a computer algorithm.",
"Here, display shapes can actively adapt to the physical context of the user, the form of the data, or the function of the interface.",
"An extreme example is that of Claytronics: fully physical 3D voxels that dynamically constitute physical 3D images.",
"Holman and Vertegaal present three design principles that underlie OUI:\nInput equals output: In traditional GUIs, input and output are physically separated: Output is generated graphically on the screen on the basis of input provided by a control device such as a mouse.",
"A key feature of OUI is that the display surface, and its physical deformations are always the locus of user interaction.",
"Function equals form: Coined by Frank Lloyd Wright, this means the shape of an interface determines its physical functionality, and vice versa.",
"Shapes should be chosen such that they best support the functionality of the interface.",
"An example is a spherical multitouch interface, which is particularly suited to geographic information interfaces, which were previously limited to distorted flat projections of spherical earth data.",
"Form follows flow: OUIs physically adapt to the context of a user's multiple activities, e.g., by taking on multiple shapes.",
"An example of this is the \"clamshell\" phone, where the physical metaphor of altering the phone's shape (by opening it) alters the state of the user interface (to open communications).",
"Another example is folding a thin-film tablet PC into a smaller, pocket-sized smartphone for mobility.",
"Early examples of OUIs include Gummi, a rigid prototype of a flexible credit card display, PaperWindows, featuring active projection-mapped pieces of paper, the Microsoft Sphere, one of the first spherical multitouch computers, and DisplayObjects (rigid objects with displays wrapped around them).",
"PaperPhone was one of the first OUIs to introduce bend gestures on a real flexible screen.",
"It featured a flexible electrophoretic display and an array of 5 bend sensors that allowed for user navigation of content.",
"Examples of actuated OUIs include shape changing prototypes like MorePhone and Morphees.",
"The Nokia Kinetic, a flexible smartphone that allows input techniques such as bend, twist and squeeze, and the Samsung Youm, are early commercial prototypes of OUIs.",
"It is widely expected that OUIs will be introduced on the market by the year 2018.",
"Note that OUIs differ from a natural user interface (NUI) in that NUIs are limited to touch or remote gestural interactions with a flat display only.",
"Although remote gestural interaction violates the principle of \"Input Equals Output\", OUIs generally subsume NUIs.",
"Also note that OUI is a successor to and form of tangible user interface that always features a bitmapped display skin around its multi-shaped body.",
"Finally, note that all OUIs are examples of haptic technologies, as their physical shapes, like real objects, provide passive tactile-kinaesthetic feedback even in non-actuated cases."

Clash of the Titans (tour) | [
"The tour began in the fall of 1990 with a three-week European leg featuring Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies, promoting their then-current albums \"Rust in Peace\", \"Seasons in the Abyss\", \"Souls of Black\" and \"Lights...",
"Camera...Revolution!\" respectively.",
"A second leg in 1991 in the United States and Canada had a slightly different lineup: Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax headlined, and Alice in Chains supported; while Megadeth and Slayer were still promoting their respective albums \"Rust in Peace\" and \"Seasons in the Abyss\", Anthrax was supporting their fifth studio album \"Persistence of Time\" and Alice in Chains was touring behind their debut album \"Facelift\".",
"Alice in Chains was not originally on the bill for the U.S. tour.",
"According to the documentary \"Get Thrashed\", Death Angel was to be the supporting act – however, after a near-fatal tour bus crash, they were forced to bow out.",
"Sepultura was also mooted for the tour, but, according to then-frontman Max Cavalera, \"got kicked out\", and instead embarked on the New Titans on the Block tour with Sacred Reich, Napalm Death and Sick of It All.",
"Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian stated in an interview with \"Guitar World\" that they wanted Pantera as the opening act of the Clash of the Titans tour.",
"Other bands, such as Exodus, Vio-lence, Kreator and Obituary, also reportedly declined to take part in the tour as the opening act.",
"About the tour, Ian recalled, \"We didn't start making any money until 1991, on the Clash of the Titans tour in the States – not even a dime.",
"I got home from that tour to receive a cheque for a sizeable amount and called my accountant, saying, 'There must be a mistake.'",
"We were of Iron Maiden's style of mindset, where we had to have these huge stage sets, and everything went straight back into the band.",
"\"\nInteresting to note is that Metallica was the only \"big four\" of thrash metal act that did not take part in the Clash of the Titans tour.",
"Slayer guitarist Kerry King told \"Guitar World\" that, \"There might have even been talk of a 'Big Four' tour back then, but we probably couldn't get Metallica onboard.",
"But we had three pieces of it, and that was all the management and promoters needed.\"",
"The members of Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax have indicated that one of the reasons Metallica was not part of the Clash of the Titans tour was due to their ascension to popularity, specifically with their self-titled \"black album\", which was not released until five weeks after the tour's conclusion.",
"King has been quoted as saying, \"I knew Metallica wouldn't be a part of it 'cause they didn't need us.",
"\"",
"On November 16, 2009, it was announced that the European Clash of the Titans lineup would be reunited after nineteen years on the American Carnage Tour, featuring Slayer, Megadeth and Testament.",
"On July 13, 2010, a second leg of the American Carnage Tour was announced that would feature the American Clash of the Titans lineup: Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.",
"Neither Suicidal Tendencies nor Alice in Chains were featured in either lineup.",
"On December 9, 2017, Ultimate-Guitar.com reported that a rebooted Clash of the Titans tour featuring Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and Sepultura was in the works, and scheduled to take place in 2018 or 2019 in support of new albums from these four bands.",
"More speculation about a tour similar to Clash of the Titans was renewed in January 2018, when Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine mentioned a potential tour featuring Exodus and three of the \"big four\" (Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax); a month later, Mustaine tweeted another potential tour similar to Clash of the Titans, titled \"The New Big 4\", featuring Megadeth, Anthrax, Exodus and Testament.",
"When Slayer announced their farewell tour in January 2018, it was suggested that the recently-rumored Clash of the Titans tour (also featuring Megadeth, Sepultura and Testament) would take place as part of the aforementioned tour.",
"Although Mustaine cryptically denied that this tour was in the works, he stated in a June 2018 interview with Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon that, \"I hope that Megadeth and Slayer get to go one more round somewhere.",
"I think it would be great, especially if it was a 'Big Four' show, but that's entirely up to them.",
"And if it doesn't happen, we've had our share of Slayer and Megadeth shows, and I'll always appreciate those times together.\"",
"Testament frontman Chuck Billy also commented on the tour rumors, referring to Slayer's farewell tour, \"I doubt it, this is Slayer's last tour so this is it.",
"There will be no more Slayer tours.",
"\"\nWhen asked in August 2018 by CBS San Francisco about the possibility of a revival of the Clash of the Titans tour with Slayer and Megadeth, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello stated, \"I wouldn't say it's under wraps because I don't know about it.",
"But I would absolutely love for the Big 4 thing to happen again.",
"That would be the right thing to do for everybody.",
"I would love that.",
"I mean, as far as Slayer goes, I'm sure they're going to do more shows next year, but I don't know if we'll be on them, because we do have our album to write.",
"It's all about scheduling and agents and all that.",
"But we'd be open to any of that, specifically the Big 4.",
"I think all four bands that were involved with the Big 4 would love to do it again.",
"But that's totally up to Metallica.",
"\"\nIn August 2019, the website Metal Addicts reported that a 30th anniversary edition of the Clash of the Titans tour was rumored to be taking place in 2020 and would feature a different lineup, with Megadeth and Testament likely to be included, but added that Slayer was not expected to be on the bill due to their farewell tour, which ended in November 2019.",
"When asked a month later by The Metal Voice what the odds were for the revival of the Clash of the Titans tour and their European tour with Testament and Exodus—The Bay Strikes Back, Death Angel frontman Mark Osegueda commented: \"The revival of the Clash of the Titans one, that's of course out of our hand.",
"I've seen, some rumors floating around everywhere of course, we've not been approached so I could not tell you that, you know, I've heard anything.",
"We've not been approached as a band as far as the Bay Strikes Back to tour that's happening in February–March in Europe.",

"When Reese was indicted and subsequently convicted after making a full confession there were many calls for a Status of Forces Agreement revision.",

"Nick's life is constantly challenged by worldly trials and tribulations that put his morals and convictions to the test, with Nick learning valuable lessons along the way and, at times, facing the consequences of his actions.",
"His friends include Louis Armstrong, a streetwise kid and Nick's best friend, Renee Johnson, a pretty girl and a good student who hangs out with Nick and Louis, Phillip Monroe, a young \"nerdy\" boy in Nick's class who's very smart and sometimes picked on by older kids, and, in the last two episodes, Jordan Michaels, an athletic football-playing student who's also into computer graphics.",
"In the first nine episodes, Nick's main adversary is Derrick Cryder, a bully who constantly picks on Nick, Phillip, and other kids, but by the end of the Christmas episode, he reforms when he saves Nick from a gang member after Nick shows him kindness.",
"Derrick later serves as a voice of reason for Nick in Episode 12 after Nick strains his friendship with his other friends.",
"The first nine episodes feature Nick in waning years of elementary school, while the final three episodes, titled The New Adventures of McGee and Me!, see Nick enter junior high school.",
"Though, the actors at the time were much older than their characters' ages, giving Nick the appearance of a high schooler instead, due to the final three episodes having been produced a couple of years after the first nine.",
"On January 25, 1992, ABC aired \"The Big Lie\" as a pilot for a possible series run.",
"The episode aired as part of the \"ABC Weekend Specials\" series yet ABC spokeswoman Janice Gretemeyer stated that the episode had been edited to allow for commercials, and to remove specific Christian references.",
"Another episode, \"Take Me Out of the Ball Game\" aired as part of the \"ABC Weekend Specials\" series on September 12, 1992.",

"His dad helps him learn an important lesson about lying, elders, fear, speaking up, and bullying.",
"#\"A Star in the Breaking\" - Nick, his mom, and his cartoon pal McGee learn a lesson in humility when the fame and popularity of being on a game show goes to Nick's head.",
"#\"The Not-So-Great Escape\" - Nick wants to go with Louis to see \"Night Of The Blood Freaks Part 4\" in theaters.",
"His parents forbid him to go, saying that the movie's nothing but garbage, and they ground him for arguing and talking back (and telling his sister to shut up).",

"In this episode, Nick learns the lesson of honoring your father and mother, and making right choices.",
"#\"Skate Expectations\" - After trying to protect a geeky boy, Phillip, from Derrick and his friends, Nick finds himself in a skateboarding contest, even though he isn't that good at it.",

"\"McGee and Me!\" deals with issues such as honesty (\"The Big Lie\"), bullying (\"Skate Expectations\"), and faith in God (\"Twister and Shout\")."
] |
Management of chronic headaches | [
"The most common chronic treatment method is the use of medicine.",
"Many people try to seek pain relief from analgesic medicines (commonly termed pain killers), such as aspirin, acetaminophen, aspirin compounds, ibuprofen, and opioids.",
"The long term use of opioids; however, appears to result in greater harm than benefit.",
"Also, abortive medications can be used to \"stop a headache once it has begun\"; such drugs include ergotamine (Cafergot), triptans (Imitrex), and prednisone (Deltasone).",
"However, medical professionals advise that abuse of analgesics and abortive medications can actually lead to an increase in headaches.",
"The painkiller medicines help headaches temporarily, but as the \"quick fix\" wears off, headaches become more re-current and grow in intensity.",
"These \"rebound headaches\" can actually make the body less responsive to preventive medication.",
"The conditions keep worsening if one takes paracetamol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 15 days a month or more.",
"Therefore, analgesic and abortive medications are often advised for headaches that are not chronic in nature.",
"The most common medicines used to treat chronic (daily) headaches are called prophylactic medicines, which are used to prevent headaches.",
"Such preventive medication is taken on a daily basis, even when a person may not have a headache.",
"Prophylactic medicines are recommended for chronic headache patients because varied experiments prove that the medications \"reduce the frequency, severity, and disability associated with daily headaches\".",
"A majority of the prophylactic medications work by inhibiting or increasing neurotransmissions in the brain, often preventing the brain from interpreting pain signals.",
"Preventive medicines include gabapentin (Neurontin), tizanidine (Zanaflex), fluoxetine (Prozac), amitriptyline (Elavil), and topiramate (Topamax).",
"In testing, gabapentin was found to reduce the number of headache days a month by 9.1%.",
"Tizanidine was found to decrease the average frequency of headaches per week, the headache intensity, and the mean headache duration.",
"Through studies, Fluoxetine resulted in better mood ratings and \"significant increases in headache-free days\".",
"Despite being associated with depression, antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, have been found to effectively treat \"near-daily headaches\" and numerous chronic pain conditions as well as improving mood and sleep—two possible triggers for chronic headache sufferers.",
"One study found that the headache frequency over a 28-day period lowered for chronic headache patients on topiramate.",
"Another medication to prevent headaches is botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA or BOTOX), which is given by injection instead of being taken orally.",
"In a clinical study of botulinum toxin type A, patients participating in the 9-month treatment period with three treatments experienced headache frequency decreases up to 50%.",
"As with all medications, the preventive medications may have side effects.",
"Since different people respond to drugs differently, chronic headache sufferers may have to go through a \"trial-and-error\" period to find the right medications.",
"The previously mentioned medicines can improve headaches, but physicians recommend multiple forms of treatments.",
"In addition to medicines, physical therapy is a treatment to help improve chronic headaches.",
"In physical therapy, a patient works together with a therapist to help identify and change physical habits or conditions that affect chronic headaches.",
"Physical therapy for chronic daily headaches focuses on the upper body, including the upper back, neck, and face.",
"Therapists assess and improve the patient's body posture, which can aggravate headaches.",
"During office sessions, therapists use manual therapy, such as a massage, stretching, or joint movement to release muscle tension.",
"Other methods to relax muscles include heat packs, ice packs, and \"electrical stimulation\".",
"Therapists also teach chronic headache sufferers at-home exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles that may be triggering headaches.",
"In physical therapy, the patient must take an active role to practice exercises and make changes to his or her lifestyle for there to be improvement.",
"Another non-medicinal treatment, which does not require at-home exercises, is acupuncture.",
"Acupuncture involves a certified acupuncturist picking particular points on the body to insert acupuncture needles; these points may differ on an individual basis.",
"With chronic headache patients, the acupuncturist may needle \"tender points at or near the site of maximal headache pain\".",
"A study conducted by the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found that compared to medicinal treatment alone, medicinal treatment plus acupuncture resulted in more improvement for chronic daily headache patients.",
"Another acupuncture study in Germany found that 52.6% of patients reported a decrease in headache frequency In both studies, acupuncture was not the only treatment.",
"Trials show that acupuncture can cause \"relevant improvements\" for people with chronic headaches.",
"Relaxation training is another form of non-pharmacological treatment for chronic headache.",
"Relaxation training helps to reduce internal tension, allowing a person to control headaches triggered by stress.",
"The different relaxation methods are normally taught by a psychologist or a therapist.",
"Relaxation training works as people become in tune with their own body, allowing them to realize when it is necessary to decrease tension before a headache occurs.",
"The point of relaxation training is to teach people \"an attitude of consciously setting out to relax but not trying too hard\", enabling people to relax in everyday situations.",
"Relaxation training includes two different types of methods: physical and mental.",
"Physical relaxation methods involve actual body movement or action.",
"One physical method for releasing tension involves \"purposefully tensing and then relaxing groups of muscles in a definite sequence\", which is named accordingly progressive muscle relaxation.",
"Another physical method of relaxation is deep breathing.",
"Deep breathing is done by breathing from the bottom of the lungs up, which is characterized by the rise and fall of the stomach, not the chest.",
"These are the two most common physical methods of relaxation for chronic headache sufferers.",
"Also, relaxation therapy can involve mental techniques to decrease body tension.",
"The first is called \"focused imagery\".",
"Focused imagery involves concentration on relaxed body parts, followed by focus on tense muscles and imagining that the tense areas are being worked on or relaxed.",
"The next mental technique involves focus on the whole body, instead of its individual parts.",
"In \"deepening imagery\", a person imagines the body's tension as a meter of high to low, and works to reduce tension mentally.",
"An additional mental strategy involves creating and experiencing a location of relaxation in the mind.",
"The last mental strategy involves the chronic headache patient visualizing a place of stress in his or her life and imagining a relaxed response.",
"Meditation in a relaxing environment is also suggested to prevent headaches.",
"Meditation often involves repeating a one syllable sound or staring at a visual object to help focus attention.",
"Relaxation helps the body to unwind, preventing the formation of headaches.",
"Biofeedback is often used to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation training, because it feeds back information to the chronic headache sufferer about the \"body's (biological) current state\".",
"One of the most common biofeedback tests is the Electromyograph (EMG), which evaluates the “electrical activity” produced by muscles.",
"Biofeedback also can measure electrical brain activity through a test called the Electroencephalograph (EEG).",
"Another test, called the thermograph, measures skin temperature, because when a person is relaxed they have increased blood flow and a higher temperature.",
"Another method is BVP biofeedback training, which improves chronic headaches by teaching a patient how to regulate and decrease arterial pulse amplitudes by restricting the arteries.",
"When tense, a person's sweat gland activity increases, which is measured by electrodermograph testing of the hands.",
"Biofeedback methods have been proven to work.",
"A study involving fifteen treatment sessions found that biofeedback was \"successful in reducing both frequency and severity of headache at discharge and over time\".",
"Biofeedback allows headache sufferers to identify problems and then seek to reduce them.",
"Many physicians also recommend changes in diet to treat chronic headaches.",
"Many chronic headache sufferers fail to recognize foods or beverages as headache factors, because the consumption may not consistently cause headaches or the headaches may be delayed.",
"Many of the chemicals in certain foods can cause chronic headaches, including caffeine, nitrites, nitrates, tyramine, and alcohols.",
"Some of the foods and beverages that chronic headache sufferers are advised to avoid include caffeinated beverages, chocolate, processed meats, cheese and fermented dairy products, fresh yeast-risen baked goods, nuts, and alcohol as well as certain fruits and vegetables.",
"Yeast extract may encourage migraines.",
"Lowering the consumption of yeast extract may significantly reduce headache days.",
"Additionally, people may have differing dietary triggers on an individualized basis, because not all foods affect people the same way.",
"Different medical professionals suggest different ways of testing or changing diets.",
"Some may suggest eliminating a few of the potentially headache-causing foods at a time for a short period of time, while others suggest removing all the threatening foods from a person's diet and slowly adding a couple back at a time.",
"Yet, others may not suggest diet modification at all.",
"The treatment of chronic headaches through changes in diet is based on personal opinion, and, therefore, controversial.",
"Also, behavioral therapy and psychological therapy are suggested treatments to reduce chronic headaches.",
"Behavioral therapy and psychological therapy relate closely in their treatment methods, which include a combination of identifying headache stressors, biofeedback, relaxation training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.",
"Cognitive-behavioral therapy's purpose \"is to identify and resolve the sources of recurrent stress\".",
"In treatment studies, patients with medication plus cognitive-behavioral therapy groups did better than groups with medication alone or cognitive-behavioral therapy alone.",
"Psychological and behavioral therapies identify stressful situations and teach chronic headache patients to react differently, change their behavior, or adjust attitudes to reduce tension that leads to headaches.",
"Treatments especially focus on \"emotional, mental, behavioral, and social factors\" as they impact headaches.",
"Patients are advised to simply avoid stressors when plausible or share their burdens with others.",
"In this way, studies have found that patients with multimodal treatment in a group setting fare better than patients who follow multimodal treatment alone.",
"Another behavioral study, which included multimodal treatment, showed that the \"frequency of severe headaches was reduced by a clinically significant amount for 75% of the patients\".",
"Behavioral and psychological therapies work to identify and eliminate or reduce stressful situations that lead to chronic headaches.",
"Beyond behavioral modification, psychological therapy has a few distinct characteristics of its own.",
"It is important to look at the psychological status of a chronic headache sufferer to \"identify conditions that might interfere with headaches and treatments\", such as depression.",
"Also, psychological therapy suggests training in self-hypnosis.",
"While hypnotized, patients are given suggestions to relax and use visual imagery to control headache mechanisms, which is very similar to relaxation therapy.",
"Psychological therapists also analyze personal issues that may interfere in a chronic headache patient's life, making him or her unable to make changes in lifestyle to improve headaches.",
"Psychologist or psychiatric help for chronic headache patients is controversial, as a patient must be open to possible psychological factors in relation to headaches.",
"Chiropractic care involves in manipulation of the neck and spine to ensure proper alignment.",
"A misalignment can cause headaches along with other problems in the body.",
"The misalignment can compress nerves in the lower neck as well as cause muscle contractions in the neck and headaches can result."

"Chronic headache, or chronic daily headache (CDH), is classified as experiencing fifteen or more days with a headache per month.",
"The treatments for chronic headache are vast and varied.",
"Some treatments are controversial and are still being tested for effectiveness."
] |
Management of chronic headaches | [
"The most common chronic treatment method is the use of medicine.",
"Many people try to seek pain relief from analgesic medicines (commonly termed pain killers), such as aspirin, acetaminophen, aspirin compounds, ibuprofen, and opioids.",
"The long term use of opioids; however, appears to result in greater harm than benefit.",
"Also, abortive medications can be used to \"stop a headache once it has begun\"; such drugs include ergotamine (Cafergot), triptans (Imitrex), and prednisone (Deltasone).",
"However, medical professionals advise that abuse of analgesics and abortive medications can actually lead to an increase in headaches.",
"The painkiller medicines help headaches temporarily, but as the \"quick fix\" wears off, headaches become more re-current and grow in intensity.",
"These \"rebound headaches\" can actually make the body less responsive to preventive medication.",
"The conditions keep worsening if one takes paracetamol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 15 days a month or more.",
"Therefore, analgesic and abortive medications are often advised for headaches that are not chronic in nature.",
"The most common medicines used to treat chronic (daily) headaches are called prophylactic medicines, which are used to prevent headaches.",
"Such preventive medication is taken on a daily basis, even when a person may not have a headache.",
"Prophylactic medicines are recommended for chronic headache patients because varied experiments prove that the medications \"reduce the frequency, severity, and disability associated with daily headaches\".",
"A majority of the prophylactic medications work by inhibiting or increasing neurotransmissions in the brain, often preventing the brain from interpreting pain signals.",
"Preventive medicines include gabapentin (Neurontin), tizanidine (Zanaflex), fluoxetine (Prozac), amitriptyline (Elavil), and topiramate (Topamax).",
"In testing, gabapentin was found to reduce the number of headache days a month by 9.1%.",
"Tizanidine was found to decrease the average frequency of headaches per week, the headache intensity, and the mean headache duration.",
"Through studies, Fluoxetine resulted in better mood ratings and \"significant increases in headache-free days\".",
"Despite being associated with depression, antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, have been found to effectively treat \"near-daily headaches\" and numerous chronic pain conditions as well as improving mood and sleep—two possible triggers for chronic headache sufferers.",
"One study found that the headache frequency over a 28-day period lowered for chronic headache patients on topiramate.",
"Another medication to prevent headaches is botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA or BOTOX), which is given by injection instead of being taken orally.",
"In a clinical study of botulinum toxin type A, patients participating in the 9-month treatment period with three treatments experienced headache frequency decreases up to 50%.",
"As with all medications, the preventive medications may have side effects.",
"Since different people respond to drugs differently, chronic headache sufferers may have to go through a \"trial-and-error\" period to find the right medications.",
"The previously mentioned medicines can improve headaches, but physicians recommend multiple forms of treatments.",
"In addition to medicines, physical therapy is a treatment to help improve chronic headaches.",
"In physical therapy, a patient works together with a therapist to help identify and change physical habits or conditions that affect chronic headaches.",
"Physical therapy for chronic daily headaches focuses on the upper body, including the upper back, neck, and face.",
"Therapists assess and improve the patient's body posture, which can aggravate headaches.",
"During office sessions, therapists use manual therapy, such as a massage, stretching, or joint movement to release muscle tension.",
"Other methods to relax muscles include heat packs, ice packs, and \"electrical stimulation\".",
"Therapists also teach chronic headache sufferers at-home exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles that may be triggering headaches.",
"In physical therapy, the patient must take an active role to practice exercises and make changes to his or her lifestyle for there to be improvement.",
"Another non-medicinal treatment, which does not require at-home exercises, is acupuncture.",
"Acupuncture involves a certified acupuncturist picking particular points on the body to insert acupuncture needles; these points may differ on an individual basis.",
"With chronic headache patients, the acupuncturist may needle \"tender points at or near the site of maximal headache pain\".",
"A study conducted by the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found that compared to medicinal treatment alone, medicinal treatment plus acupuncture resulted in more improvement for chronic daily headache patients.",
"Another acupuncture study in Germany found that 52.6% of patients reported a decrease in headache frequency In both studies, acupuncture was not the only treatment.",
"Trials show that acupuncture can cause \"relevant improvements\" for people with chronic headaches.",
"Relaxation training is another form of non-pharmacological treatment for chronic headache.",
"Relaxation training helps to reduce internal tension, allowing a person to control headaches triggered by stress.",
"The different relaxation methods are normally taught by a psychologist or a therapist.",
"Relaxation training works as people become in tune with their own body, allowing them to realize when it is necessary to decrease tension before a headache occurs.",
"The point of relaxation training is to teach people \"an attitude of consciously setting out to relax but not trying too hard\", enabling people to relax in everyday situations.",
"Relaxation training includes two different types of methods: physical and mental.",
"Physical relaxation methods involve actual body movement or action.",
"One physical method for releasing tension involves \"purposefully tensing and then relaxing groups of muscles in a definite sequence\", which is named accordingly progressive muscle relaxation.",
"Another physical method of relaxation is deep breathing.",
"Deep breathing is done by breathing from the bottom of the lungs up, which is characterized by the rise and fall of the stomach, not the chest.",
"These are the two most common physical methods of relaxation for chronic headache sufferers.",
"Also, relaxation therapy can involve mental techniques to decrease body tension.",
"The first is called \"focused imagery\".",
"Focused imagery involves concentration on relaxed body parts, followed by focus on tense muscles and imagining that the tense areas are being worked on or relaxed.",
"The next mental technique involves focus on the whole body, instead of its individual parts.",
"In \"deepening imagery\", a person imagines the body's tension as a meter of high to low, and works to reduce tension mentally.",
"An additional mental strategy involves creating and experiencing a location of relaxation in the mind.",
"The last mental strategy involves the chronic headache patient visualizing a place of stress in his or her life and imagining a relaxed response.",
"Meditation in a relaxing environment is also suggested to prevent headaches.",
"Meditation often involves repeating a one syllable sound or staring at a visual object to help focus attention.",
"Relaxation helps the body to unwind, preventing the formation of headaches.",
"Biofeedback is often used to evaluate the effectiveness of relaxation training, because it feeds back information to the chronic headache sufferer about the \"body's (biological) current state\".",
"One of the most common biofeedback tests is the Electromyograph (EMG), which evaluates the “electrical activity” produced by muscles.",
"Biofeedback also can measure electrical brain activity through a test called the Electroencephalograph (EEG).",
"Another test, called the thermograph, measures skin temperature, because when a person is relaxed they have increased blood flow and a higher temperature.",
"Another method is BVP biofeedback training, which improves chronic headaches by teaching a patient how to regulate and decrease arterial pulse amplitudes by restricting the arteries.",
"When tense, a person's sweat gland activity increases, which is measured by electrodermograph testing of the hands.",
"Biofeedback methods have been proven to work.",

"Relaxation training includes two different types of methods: physical and mental.",
"Physical relaxation methods involve actual body movement or action.",
"One physical method for releasing tension involves \"purposefully tensing and then relaxing groups of muscles in a definite sequence\", which is named accordingly progressive muscle relaxation.",

Management of chronic headaches | [
"The most common chronic treatment method is the use of medicine.",
"Many people try to seek pain relief from analgesic medicines (commonly termed pain killers), such as aspirin, acetaminophen, aspirin compounds, ibuprofen, and opioids.",
"The long term use of opioids; however, appears to result in greater harm than benefit.",
"Also, abortive medications can be used to \"stop a headache once it has begun\"; such drugs include ergotamine (Cafergot), triptans (Imitrex), and prednisone (Deltasone).",
"However, medical professionals advise that abuse of analgesics and abortive medications can actually lead to an increase in headaches.",
"The painkiller medicines help headaches temporarily, but as the \"quick fix\" wears off, headaches become more re-current and grow in intensity.",
"These \"rebound headaches\" can actually make the body less responsive to preventive medication.",
"The conditions keep worsening if one takes paracetamol, aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for 15 days a month or more.",
"Therefore, analgesic and abortive medications are often advised for headaches that are not chronic in nature.",
"The most common medicines used to treat chronic (daily) headaches are called prophylactic medicines, which are used to prevent headaches.",
"Such preventive medication is taken on a daily basis, even when a person may not have a headache.",
"Prophylactic medicines are recommended for chronic headache patients because varied experiments prove that the medications \"reduce the frequency, severity, and disability associated with daily headaches\".",
"A majority of the prophylactic medications work by inhibiting or increasing neurotransmissions in the brain, often preventing the brain from interpreting pain signals.",
"Preventive medicines include gabapentin (Neurontin), tizanidine (Zanaflex), fluoxetine (Prozac), amitriptyline (Elavil), and topiramate (Topamax).",
"In testing, gabapentin was found to reduce the number of headache days a month by 9.1%.",
"Tizanidine was found to decrease the average frequency of headaches per week, the headache intensity, and the mean headache duration.",
"Through studies, Fluoxetine resulted in better mood ratings and \"significant increases in headache-free days\".",
"Despite being associated with depression, antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, have been found to effectively treat \"near-daily headaches\" and numerous chronic pain conditions as well as improving mood and sleep—two possible triggers for chronic headache sufferers.",
"One study found that the headache frequency over a 28-day period lowered for chronic headache patients on topiramate.",
"Another medication to prevent headaches is botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA or BOTOX), which is given by injection instead of being taken orally.",
"In a clinical study of botulinum toxin type A, patients participating in the 9-month treatment period with three treatments experienced headache frequency decreases up to 50%.",
"As with all medications, the preventive medications may have side effects.",
"Since different people respond to drugs differently, chronic headache sufferers may have to go through a \"trial-and-error\" period to find the right medications.",
"The previously mentioned medicines can improve headaches, but physicians recommend multiple forms of treatments.",
"In addition to medicines, physical therapy is a treatment to help improve chronic headaches.",
"In physical therapy, a patient works together with a therapist to help identify and change physical habits or conditions that affect chronic headaches.",
"Physical therapy for chronic daily headaches focuses on the upper body, including the upper back, neck, and face.",
"Therapists assess and improve the patient's body posture, which can aggravate headaches.",
"During office sessions, therapists use manual therapy, such as a massage, stretching, or joint movement to release muscle tension.",
"Other methods to relax muscles include heat packs, ice packs, and \"electrical stimulation\".",
"Therapists also teach chronic headache sufferers at-home exercises to strengthen and stretch muscles that may be triggering headaches.",
"In physical therapy, the patient must take an active role to practice exercises and make changes to his or her lifestyle for there to be improvement.",
"Another non-medicinal treatment, which does not require at-home exercises, is acupuncture.",
"Acupuncture involves a certified acupuncturist picking particular points on the body to insert acupuncture needles; these points may differ on an individual basis.",
"With chronic headache patients, the acupuncturist may needle \"tender points at or near the site of maximal headache pain\".",
"A study conducted by the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found that compared to medicinal treatment alone, medicinal treatment plus acupuncture resulted in more improvement for chronic daily headache patients.",
"Another acupuncture study in Germany found that 52.6% of patients reported a decrease in headache frequency In both studies, acupuncture was not the only treatment.",
"Trials show that acupuncture can cause \"relevant improvements\" for people with chronic headaches.",
"Relaxation training is another form of non-pharmacological treatment for chronic headache.",
"Relaxation training helps to reduce internal tension, allowing a person to control headaches triggered by stress.",
"The different relaxation methods are normally taught by a psychologist or a therapist.",
"Relaxation training works as people become in tune with their own body, allowing them to realize when it is necessary to decrease tension before a headache occurs.",
"The point of relaxation training is to teach people \"an attitude of consciously setting out to relax but not trying too hard\", enabling people to relax in everyday situations.",

Binge drinking | [
"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",
"There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a \"binge\", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.",
"In 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, defines binge drinking as \"a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above.",
"This typically happens when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours.\" and estimated that about 16% of American adults met these criteria at least four times per month.",
"One 2001 definition from the publication \"Psychology of Addictive Behavior\" states that five drinks for men and four drinks for women must be consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period for it to be classed as binge drinking.",
"This is colloquially known as the \"5/4 definition\", and depending on the source, the timeframe can vary.",
"In the United Kingdom, binge drinking is defined by one academic publication as drinking more than twice the daily limit, that is, drinking eight units or more for men or six units or more for women (roughly equivalent to five or four American standard drinks, respectively).",
"In Australia, binge drinking is also known as risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) and can be classified by the drinking of seven or more standard drinks (by males) and five or more standard drinks (by females) within a single day.",
"When BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) conducted a study which gathered information of people over the age of 18, it defined binge drinkers as those who consumed six or more standard drinks on one occasion whether that be weekly or monthly.",
"The above definitions are limited in that they do not take into account the time period over which the drinking occurs or the body mass of the person drinking.",
"A person could be defined as a binge drinker even if he or she never becomes intoxicated.",
"The term, however, has succeeded in drawing public awareness to the problem of excess drinking..\nOther, less common definitions rely on blood alcohol concentration (BAC).",
"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",
"An alternative colloquial term for binge drinking, \"going on a bender\", formerly implied a drinking spree of several days.",
"Culture as well as peer pressure play an important role in driving binge drinking.",
"In adults, binge drinking is more common in people who have never been married and score a grade B or less in education.",
"The reasons for binge drinking by children and adolescents in Europe include:\n\n\nOther causes include feeling more grown-up and fitting in with peers and to increase the chance of sexual encounters.",
"Some also drink to alleviate psychological stress or anxiety.",
"Research on interpersonal violence focused on mechanisms of victimization and perpetration (specifically stalking, harassment, sexual assault, and teen dating violence) among adolescents reported a significantly higher proportion of teenagers endorsing depressed mood and engagement in binge drinking among those subjected to victimization.",
"Semi-structured interview were carried out with 64 14- to 17-year-olds who had an experience of binge drinking.",
"These interviews found that motivations included social facilitation which was ease in social situations, individual benefits such as getting a 'buzz' and influences of peer pressure and social norms.",
"Risk factors for binge drinking among adolescents include: low socioeconomic status, large amount of disposable (pocket) money, sensation and novelty seeking, low self-control, delinquency and having delinquent friends.",
"Other risk factors include: using alcohol as a coping strategy for emotional problems (more common in adolescent girls), excessive drinking among peers, poor relationship with parents, excessive alcohol use by parents.",
"Genetic conditions combined with a background of negative environmental factors increase the harmful use of alcohol.",
"Additionally the risk-taking behavior associated with adolescence promotes binge drinking.",
"Acute intoxication, such as binge drinking and alcoholism, are known potent risk factors for suicide.",
"Binge drinking is also associated with an increased risk of unplanned and unprotected sex, unplanned pregnancies, and an increased risk of HIV infection.",
"10% of women and 19% of men have reported being assaulted as a result of alcohol.",
"Males who drink more than 35 units of alcohol per week report being physically hurt as a result of alcohol, and 15% report physically hurting others as a result of their drinking.",

"Alcohol affects brain development quite significantly especially during adolescence when the brain is still developing.",
"The main lobes that are involved in decision making and complex thought processes are undergoing their final development phase during adolescence and binge drinking can negatively stunt the growth of these frontal lobes.",
"The high levels of binge drinking among young people and the adverse consequences that include increased risk of alcoholism as an adult and liver disease make binge drinking a major public health issue.",
"Recent research has found that young college binge drinkers who drink four or more drinks on more than three occasions in the past two weeks are statistically 19 times more likely to develop alcoholism than non-binge drinkers, though the direction of causality remains unclear.",
"This is particularly interesting, as drinking for the sole purpose of getting drunk remains a major health and social problem on college campuses across the United States.",
"Heavy and regular binge drinking during adolescence is associated with an increased risk of alcoholism.",
"Approximately 40% of alcoholics report heavy drinking during adolescence.",
"Repeated episodes of excessive drinking, especially at an early age, are thought to cause a profound increase in the risk of developing an alcohol-related disorder (ICD-10, harmful use/dependence syndrome).",
"Heavy drinking is also closely associated with depression.",
"Those with severe depression have higher rates of alcohol use disorder than those with low rates of depression.",
"College students who are depressed are more susceptible to use alcohol than college students who are not depressed.",
"In a study conducted at Harvard University, it was found that about 32% of students surveyed were diagnosable for alcohol use disorder and about 6% were diagnosed as alcohol dependent.",
"Binge drinking is also becoming an increasing problem in Australian adolescents, the Australian School Students Alcohol and Drug survey conducted by the National Cancer Council discovered that around 33% of students between years 7 and 11 consumed alcohol in the week leading up to the survey, they also found that 10% of the students participated in binge drinking at a consumption level which is considered dangerous to adults.",
"When the survey results were separated into age groups the findings were that 13% of 15-year-old's and 22% of 17-year-old's had alcohol consumption levels above the daily maximum suggested to adults and that 20% of 17-year-old's had a consumption level of alcohol considered risky to adults.",
"Other risk factors that influence the development of alcohol use disorder include social and genetic factors.",
"Several researchers have found that starting drinking before the age of 15 is associated with a fourfold increased risk for developing alcoholism compared to people that delay drinking until age 20 or later.",
"It has been estimated by some that if the age at which people started drinking could be delayed to age 20, there would be a 50% reduction in the number of cases of alcohol use disorder.",
"However, it is unclear whether this is a causal relationship, or a function of confounding familial (and other) factors associated with both age at first drink and propensity for alcoholism.",
"The main cause of death among adolescents as a result of binge drinking is road traffic accidents; a third of all fatal road traffic accidents among 15- to 20-year-olds are associated with drinking alcohol.",
"Cyclists and pedestrians are likely to have less spatial awareness and concentration while travelling after binge drinking and, also, it is more common that adolescents that binge-drink drive drunk or are the passenger of a drunk driver.",
"It has been found that 50% of all head injuries in adolescents in the US are associated with alcohol consumption.",

"Heavy binge drinking is associated with neurocognitive deficits of frontal lobe processing and impaired working memory as well as delayed auditory and verbal memory deficits.",
"Animal studies suggest that the neurodegenerative effects of heavy alcohol use during adolescence can be permanent.",
"Research in humans, which utilised sophisticated brain scanning technology suggests that in adolescent teenagers, drinking more than four or five drinks once or twice a month results in subtle damage to the teenagers developing brain tissue, in particular the white matter.",
"However, this research is primarily cross-sectional and done with fairly small sample sizes, making causality less certain.",
"Several studies have been conducted to discover if there is a link between binge drinking in adolescent years and becoming a chronic alcohol consumer when they transition into adulthood.",
"A particular study conducted by the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that harmful drinking during adolescent years was significantly associated with the continuance of dangerous levels of alcohol consumption into adulthood years.",
"Binge drinking is a way for young adolescents to rely alcohol as a way to cope with certain stress or depression.",
"Heavy binge drinkers tend to have delayed auditory and verbal memory and deficits in executive planning function and episodic memory, which are similar to deficits seen in Korsakoff's syndrome.",
"Impairments in spatial working memory and pattern recognition tasks also have been found in heavy binge drinkers.",
"Impulse control is also impaired in binge drinkers, especially female binge drinkers.",
"Additionally, immediate and delayed recall of verbal and visual information is impaired; conversely, semantic organizational ability is better in binge drinkers compared to non-binge drinkers.",
"Studies in adolescents have shown that regular binge drinking may cause long-lasting cognitive impairments, though the threshold needed to produce significant effects remains unclear.",

"Binge drinking is believed to increase impulsivity due to altered functioning of prefrontal–subcortical and orbitofrontal circuits.",
"Binge drinking and alcoholics who have undergone multiple detoxifications is associated with an inability to interpret facial expressions properly; this is believed to be due to kindling of the amygdala with resultant distortion of neurotransmission.",
"Adolescents, females and young adults are most sensitive to the neuropsychological effects of binge drinking.",
"Adolescence, in particular early adolescence, is a developmental stage that is particularly vulnerable to the neurotoxic and neurocognitive adverse effects of binge drinking due to it being a time of significant brain development.",
"Binge drinking regimes are associated with causing an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory amino acids and changes in monoamines release in the central nervous system, which increases neurotoxicity and may result in cognitive impairments, psychological problems and in long-term heavy binge drinkers may cause irreversible brain damage in both adolescents and adults.",
"While several rat studies indicate that alcohol is more toxic during adolescence than adulthood, some researchers believe that it remains unclear whether this is also the case in humans.",
"Though heavy binge drinking adolescent humans show impaired brain activity during memory tests and underdeveloped brain structures compared to adolescents who did not binge-drink, they argue that these findings are similar to adults who did not have alcohol use disorder during adolescence.",
"Extrapolation from animal studies to humans is notoriously difficult, and a review by the group Choose Responsibility concluded that alcohol's long-term damage to cognitive processes was the same regardless of whether heavy drinking commenced during adolescence or later.",

"Binge-drinking by people otherwise considered to be light drinkers is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular problems and mortality.",
"Binge drinking increases cardiovascular toxicity due to its adverse effects on the electrical conduction system of the heart and the process of atherothrombosis.",
"Excessive alcohol consumption is responsible for an average of 80,000 deaths in the U.S. each year1 and $223.5 billion in economic costs in 2006.2 More than half of these deaths and three-quarters of the economic costs are due to binge drinking1 and 2 (≥4 drinks for women; ≥5 drinks for men, per occasion).",
"The bladder may rupture if overfilled and not emptied.",
"This can occur in the case of binge drinkers having consumed very large quantities, but are not aware, due to stupor, of the need to urinate.",
"This condition is very rare in women, but it does occur.",
"Symptoms include localized pain and uraemia (poisoning due to reabsorbed waste).",
"The recovery rate is high, with most fatalities due to septic blood poisoning.",
"A person is more likely to urinate while passed out before the bladder ruptures, as alcohol relaxes the muscles that normally control their bladder.",
"The most common risk of consuming massive quantities of alcohol in a short period of time is a dangerously high blood alcohol level.",
"The result is called alcohol poisoning (overdose), which can be fatal.",

"From the results they received they found alterations in the binge drinker's macrocirculation and microcirculation functions which may be sign of a risk in cardiovascular disease.",
"The study suggests that binge drinkers with a past history of strong binge drinking should be screened regularly.",
"Binge drinking has the propensity to result in brain damage faster as well as more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism), due to the neurotoxic effects of the repeated rebound withdrawal effects.",
"During the repeated alcohol free stages associated with binge drinking, a larger amount of glutamate is released than occurs during withdrawal from chronic heavy alcohol use; additionally this extreme release of glutamate happens on a repeated basis in binge drinkers leading to excitotoxicity.",
"The tolerance that occurs during chronic ('non-stop') drinking delays alcohol-related brain damage compared to binge drinking, which induced immediate and repeated insults to the brain.",

"Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.",
"Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.",
"Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.",
"Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.",
"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",

"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",
"This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.",
"Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.",
"An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.",
"These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.",
"According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.",

Binge drinking | [
"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",

"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",

"Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.",
"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",
"Due to developmental processes occurring during adolescence including myelinization and restructuring of the synapses, adolescents are thought to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol.",
"Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.",
"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",
"This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.",
"Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.",
"An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.",
"These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.",
"According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.",
"Indeed, alcohol can affect the remodeling and functional changes in synaptic plasticity and neuronal connectivity in different brain regions that occurs during adolescence (\"see this related article\").",
"An alcohol use disorder may develop when a person continues to drink heavily despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal problems.",
"Behaviorally, frequent binge drinking is usually involved, but not everyone who engages in binge drinking develops an alcohol use disorder.",
"For the purpose of identifying an alcohol use disorder when assessing binge drinking, using a time frame of the past 6 months eliminates false negatives.",
"For example, it has been found that using a narrow two week window for assessment of binge drinking habits leads to 30% of heavy regular binge drinkers wrongly being classed as not having an alcohol use disorder.",

"People who valued close friends as a sense of who they are, were less likely to want to binge drink after seeing an ad featuring them and a close friend.",
"People who were loners or who did not see close friends important to their sense of who they were reacted better to ads featuring an individual.",
"A similar pattern was shown for ads showing a person driving at dangerous speeds.",
"This suggests ads showing potential harm to citizens from binge drinking or dangerous driving are less effective than ads highlighting a person's close friends.",
"In 2009 the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing spent $53.5 million Australian Dollars on National Binge Drinking Strategy to target young Australians.",
"This campaign titled \"Don't Turn a Night Out Into a Nightmare\" was delivered to the public over many mass media platforms to show the harms and consequences of risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) as binge drinking is defined in Australia.",
"Evidence as to the effectiveness of these types of campaigns is mixed.",

"In the US brief motivational interventions have shown some benefit in reducing future binge drinking.",
"Adolescents who misuse alcohol can benefit from interventions aimed at risk reduction.",
"For more severe cases an intervention involving parents, guardians, or a psychotherapist is recommended.",
"An effective strategy of intervention for adolescents whose binge drinking leads to admission to hospital, e.g. for alcohol poisoning or injury, is manualised brief interventions at the hospital in one to four counseling sessions each lasting 30 to 60 minutes conducted by trained staff.",
"Evaluation of personal pattern of drinking and associated risks and an emphasis on personal responsibility in a non-condescending manner is recommended during the intervention; discussing and informing and educating the adolescent of possible negative short and long-term consequences of drinking is recommended.",
"The setting of goals and rules to achieve those goals is also recommended during intervention with problem binge drinking adolescents.",
"Motivational enhancement therapy also shows promise as a treatment.",
"Increasing public information and awareness regarding the risks of binge drinking, conducting interviews in emergency departments of young people suspected of harmful drinking patterns and trying to persuade them to accept individual counseling in youth addiction counseling services are effective strategies for reducing the harm of binge drinking.",
"Encouraging recreational and adventurous training activities such as climbing or driving can be used alternative \"natural buzzes\" to alcohol misuse.",
"Additionally, the provision of educational content about the risks of binge drinking and a risk assessment are beneficial during intervention with young binge drinkers and a referral in the case of an alcohol use disorder for specialised help.",
"According to the NIAAA definition of \"heavy drinkers\", men may be at risk for alcohol-related problems if their alcohol consumption exceeds 14 standard drinks per week or four drinks per day, and women may be at risk if they have more than seven standard drinks per week or three drinks per day.",
"Despite this risk, a 2014 report in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that only 10% of either \"heavy drinkers\" or \"binge drinkers\" also met the criteria for alcohol dependence, while only 1.3% of non-binge drinkers met this criteria.",

"Individuals of African descent have a lower level of binge drinking followed by those of Asian descent.",
"In the case of Asians their low level of binge drinking may be due to the presence of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (ALDH2, Chromosome 12) in many (but by no means the vast majority) that results in poor metabolism of alcohol, which leads to severe adverse effects such as facial flushing.",
"Men are more likely to binge drink (up to 81% of alcohol binges are done by men) than women and men are also more likely to develop alcohol dependence than women.",

"Those drinking in licensed establishments (bars, clubs, and restaurants) accounted for 54.3% of these driving episodes.",
"Significant independent risk factors for driving after binge drinking included male gender (AOR=1.75); being aged 35–54 or ≥55 years compared to 18–34 years (AOR=1.58 and 2.37, respectively); and drinking in bars or clubs compared to drinking in the respondent's home (AOR=7.81).",

Binge drinking | [
"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",
"There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a \"binge\", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.",
"In 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, defines binge drinking as \"a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above.",

"One 2001 definition from the publication \"Psychology of Addictive Behavior\" states that five drinks for men and four drinks for women must be consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period for it to be classed as binge drinking.",
"This is colloquially known as the \"5/4 definition\", and depending on the source, the timeframe can vary.",
"In the United Kingdom, binge drinking is defined by one academic publication as drinking more than twice the daily limit, that is, drinking eight units or more for men or six units or more for women (roughly equivalent to five or four American standard drinks, respectively).",
"In Australia, binge drinking is also known as risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) and can be classified by the drinking of seven or more standard drinks (by males) and five or more standard drinks (by females) within a single day.",
"When BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) conducted a study which gathered information of people over the age of 18, it defined binge drinkers as those who consumed six or more standard drinks on one occasion whether that be weekly or monthly.",
"The above definitions are limited in that they do not take into account the time period over which the drinking occurs or the body mass of the person drinking.",
"A person could be defined as a binge drinker even if he or she never becomes intoxicated.",
"The term, however, has succeeded in drawing public awareness to the problem of excess drinking..\nOther, less common definitions rely on blood alcohol concentration (BAC).",
"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",

"Other risk factors that influence the development of alcohol use disorder include social and genetic factors.",
"Several researchers have found that starting drinking before the age of 15 is associated with a fourfold increased risk for developing alcoholism compared to people that delay drinking until age 20 or later.",
"It has been estimated by some that if the age at which people started drinking could be delayed to age 20, there would be a 50% reduction in the number of cases of alcohol use disorder.",
"However, it is unclear whether this is a causal relationship, or a function of confounding familial (and other) factors associated with both age at first drink and propensity for alcoholism.",

"Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.",
"Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.",
"Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.",

"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",
"Due to developmental processes occurring during adolescence including myelinization and restructuring of the synapses, adolescents are thought to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol.",
"Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.",
"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",

"An alcohol use disorder may develop when a person continues to drink heavily despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal problems.",
"Behaviorally, frequent binge drinking is usually involved, but not everyone who engages in binge drinking develops an alcohol use disorder.",
"For the purpose of identifying an alcohol use disorder when assessing binge drinking, using a time frame of the past 6 months eliminates false negatives.",
"For example, it has been found that using a narrow two week window for assessment of binge drinking habits leads to 30% of heavy regular binge drinkers wrongly being classed as not having an alcohol use disorder.",

"A similar pattern was shown for ads showing a person driving at dangerous speeds.",
"This suggests ads showing potential harm to citizens from binge drinking or dangerous driving are less effective than ads highlighting a person's close friends.",
"In 2009 the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing spent $53.5 million Australian Dollars on National Binge Drinking Strategy to target young Australians.",
"This campaign titled \"Don't Turn a Night Out Into a Nightmare\" was delivered to the public over many mass media platforms to show the harms and consequences of risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) as binge drinking is defined in Australia.",

Binge drinking | [
"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",
"There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a \"binge\", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.",
"In 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, defines binge drinking as \"a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above.",
"This typically happens when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours.\" and estimated that about 16% of American adults met these criteria at least four times per month.",
"One 2001 definition from the publication \"Psychology of Addictive Behavior\" states that five drinks for men and four drinks for women must be consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period for it to be classed as binge drinking.",
"This is colloquially known as the \"5/4 definition\", and depending on the source, the timeframe can vary.",
"In the United Kingdom, binge drinking is defined by one academic publication as drinking more than twice the daily limit, that is, drinking eight units or more for men or six units or more for women (roughly equivalent to five or four American standard drinks, respectively).",
"In Australia, binge drinking is also known as risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) and can be classified by the drinking of seven or more standard drinks (by males) and five or more standard drinks (by females) within a single day.",
"When BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) conducted a study which gathered information of people over the age of 18, it defined binge drinkers as those who consumed six or more standard drinks on one occasion whether that be weekly or monthly.",
"The above definitions are limited in that they do not take into account the time period over which the drinking occurs or the body mass of the person drinking.",
"A person could be defined as a binge drinker even if he or she never becomes intoxicated.",
"The term, however, has succeeded in drawing public awareness to the problem of excess drinking..\nOther, less common definitions rely on blood alcohol concentration (BAC).",
"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",

"When the survey results were separated into age groups the findings were that 13% of 15-year-old's and 22% of 17-year-old's had alcohol consumption levels above the daily maximum suggested to adults and that 20% of 17-year-old's had a consumption level of alcohol considered risky to adults.",
"Other risk factors that influence the development of alcohol use disorder include social and genetic factors.",
"Several researchers have found that starting drinking before the age of 15 is associated with a fourfold increased risk for developing alcoholism compared to people that delay drinking until age 20 or later.",
"It has been estimated by some that if the age at which people started drinking could be delayed to age 20, there would be a 50% reduction in the number of cases of alcohol use disorder.",
"However, it is unclear whether this is a causal relationship, or a function of confounding familial (and other) factors associated with both age at first drink and propensity for alcoholism.",

"Symptoms include localized pain and uraemia (poisoning due to reabsorbed waste).",
"The recovery rate is high, with most fatalities due to septic blood poisoning.",
"A person is more likely to urinate while passed out before the bladder ruptures, as alcohol relaxes the muscles that normally control their bladder.",

"The study suggests that binge drinkers with a past history of strong binge drinking should be screened regularly.",
"Binge drinking has the propensity to result in brain damage faster as well as more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism), due to the neurotoxic effects of the repeated rebound withdrawal effects.",
"During the repeated alcohol free stages associated with binge drinking, a larger amount of glutamate is released than occurs during withdrawal from chronic heavy alcohol use; additionally this extreme release of glutamate happens on a repeated basis in binge drinkers leading to excitotoxicity.",
"The tolerance that occurs during chronic ('non-stop') drinking delays alcohol-related brain damage compared to binge drinking, which induced immediate and repeated insults to the brain.",
"Impairments in impulse control in binge drinkers, which is more prominent in female binge drinkers, is due to dysfunction of the frontal lobe.",
"The findings in humans have been largely concordant with animal studies.",

"One study found that humans who drank at least 100 drinks (male) or 80 drinks (female) per month (concentrated to 21 occasions or less per month) throughout a three-year period had impaired decision making skills compared to non-binge drinkers.",
"Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.",
"Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.",
"Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.",
"Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.",
"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",
"Due to developmental processes occurring during adolescence including myelinization and restructuring of the synapses, adolescents are thought to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol.",
"Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.",
"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",
"This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.",
"Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.",
"An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.",
"These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.",
"According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.",
"Indeed, alcohol can affect the remodeling and functional changes in synaptic plasticity and neuronal connectivity in different brain regions that occurs during adolescence (\"see this related article\").",
"An alcohol use disorder may develop when a person continues to drink heavily despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal problems.",

Binge drinking | [
"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",
"There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a \"binge\", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.",
"In 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, defines binge drinking as \"a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above.",

"A person could be defined as a binge drinker even if he or she never becomes intoxicated.",
"The term, however, has succeeded in drawing public awareness to the problem of excess drinking..\nOther, less common definitions rely on blood alcohol concentration (BAC).",
"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",

"Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.",
"Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.",
"Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.",
"Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.",
"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",

"Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.",
"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",
"This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.",
"Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.",
"An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.",
"These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.",
"According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.",

"Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.",
"There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a \"binge\", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period.",
"In 2015, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, defines binge drinking as \"a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above.",
"This typically happens when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours.\" and estimated that about 16% of American adults met these criteria at least four times per month.",
"One 2001 definition from the publication \"Psychology of Addictive Behavior\" states that five drinks for men and four drinks for women must be consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period for it to be classed as binge drinking.",
"This is colloquially known as the \"5/4 definition\", and depending on the source, the timeframe can vary.",
"In the United Kingdom, binge drinking is defined by one academic publication as drinking more than twice the daily limit, that is, drinking eight units or more for men or six units or more for women (roughly equivalent to five or four American standard drinks, respectively).",
"In Australia, binge drinking is also known as risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) and can be classified by the drinking of seven or more standard drinks (by males) and five or more standard drinks (by females) within a single day.",
"When BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) conducted a study which gathered information of people over the age of 18, it defined binge drinkers as those who consumed six or more standard drinks on one occasion whether that be weekly or monthly.",
"The above definitions are limited in that they do not take into account the time period over which the drinking occurs or the body mass of the person drinking.",
"A person could be defined as a binge drinker even if he or she never becomes intoxicated.",
"The term, however, has succeeded in drawing public awareness to the problem of excess drinking..\nOther, less common definitions rely on blood alcohol concentration (BAC).",
"For example, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines the term \"binge drinking\" as a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above.",
"Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach.",

"Binge drinking has the propensity to result in brain damage faster as well as more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism), due to the neurotoxic effects of the repeated rebound withdrawal effects.",
"During the repeated alcohol free stages associated with binge drinking, a larger amount of glutamate is released than occurs during withdrawal from chronic heavy alcohol use; additionally this extreme release of glutamate happens on a repeated basis in binge drinkers leading to excitotoxicity.",
"The tolerance that occurs during chronic ('non-stop') drinking delays alcohol-related brain damage compared to binge drinking, which induced immediate and repeated insults to the brain.",
"Impairments in impulse control in binge drinkers, which is more prominent in female binge drinkers, is due to dysfunction of the frontal lobe.",
"The findings in humans have been largely concordant with animal studies.",
"Such animal studies find that heavy and regular binge drinking causes neurodegeneration in corticolimbic brain regions areas that are involved in learning and spatial memory, such as the olfactory bulb, piriform cortex, perirhinal cortex, entorhinal cortex, and the hippocampal dentate gyrus.",
"A study in rats found that a heavy two-day drinking binge caused extensive neurodegeneration in the entorhinal cortex with resultant learning deficits.",

"Repeated acute withdrawal from alcohol, which occurs in heavy binge drinkers, has been shown in several studies to be associated with cognitive deficits as a result of neural kindling; neural kindling due to repeated withdrawals is believed to be the mechanism of cognitive damage in both binge drinkers and alcoholics.",
"Neuronal kindling also leads to each subsequent acute withdrawal episode being more severe than previous withdrawal episodes.",
"Blackouts, a form of amnesia that occurs in binge drinkers may be due to suppressed hippocampus function with rebound NMDA (glutamate) activity combined with excessive glucocorticoid release induced by the stress of repeated intoxication followed by acute withdrawal/abstinence is the proposed mechanism of neural kindling leading to neurotoxicity of structures involved in learning and memory within the brain of binge drinkers.",
"Frontal lobe processing may become impaired as a result of binge drinking with resultant neurocognitive deficits and impaired working memory.",
"Alcohol suppresses brain function during intoxication; but upon withdrawal rebound effects occur in the glutamate/NMDA system and with excess glutamate activity glucocorticoid release; due to the repeated intoxication, followed by acute withdrawal, a neurotoxic effect that damages the central nervous system develops, leading to persisting impairments in verbal and nonverbal cognitive abilities as well as impairment of spatial orientation.",
"Due to developmental processes occurring during adolescence including myelinization and restructuring of the synapses, adolescents are thought to be more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol.",
"Age and genetic factors influence the risk of developing alcohol-related neurotoxicity.",
"Adolescence, especially early adolescence (i.e. before age 15), is a critical and delicate developmental stage when specialised neuronal and synaptic systems mature.",
"This critical developmental stage is where lifelong adult traits e.g., talents, reasoning and complex skills mature; however alcohol and in particular binge drinking may disrupt and interfere with this developmental process.",
"Adolescence is also a period of development characterised by a high level of novel seeking, thrill seeking and risk taking behaviour and thus alcohol and other drug experimentation and abuse is common.",
"An adolescent rat study found that a short exposure to high levels of alcohol resulted in long-lasting changes to functional brain activity with corresponding abnormalities in EEG brain waves that persisted into adulthood, including persisting disturbances in sleep EEG with a reduction in slow wave sleep.",
"These EEG findings are similar to premature aging.",
"According to one review of the literature, if the developmental stage of adolescence is similar to the developmental stage of the fetus with regard to sensitivity to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol, and if long-lasting or permanent damage to the brain occurs similar to what animal studies suggest, then this represents a major public health issue due to the high levels of alcohol use by adolescents.",
"Indeed, alcohol can affect the remodeling and functional changes in synaptic plasticity and neuronal connectivity in different brain regions that occurs during adolescence (\"see this related article\").",
"An alcohol use disorder may develop when a person continues to drink heavily despite recurrent social, interpersonal, and/or legal problems.",
"Behaviorally, frequent binge drinking is usually involved, but not everyone who engages in binge drinking develops an alcohol use disorder.",
"For the purpose of identifying an alcohol use disorder when assessing binge drinking, using a time frame of the past 6 months eliminates false negatives.",
"For example, it has been found that using a narrow two week window for assessment of binge drinking habits leads to 30% of heavy regular binge drinkers wrongly being classed as not having an alcohol use disorder.",

"According to the NIAAA definition of \"heavy drinkers\", men may be at risk for alcohol-related problems if their alcohol consumption exceeds 14 standard drinks per week or four drinks per day, and women may be at risk if they have more than seven standard drinks per week or three drinks per day.",
"Despite this risk, a 2014 report in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that only 10% of either \"heavy drinkers\" or \"binge drinkers\" also met the criteria for alcohol dependence, while only 1.3% of non-binge drinkers met this criteria.",
"An inference drawn in this study is that evidence-based policy strategies and clinical preventive services may effectively reduce binge drinking without requiring addiction treatment in most cases.",
"Binge drinking is more common in men than it is in women.",
"Among students in the US, approximately 50% of men and 39% of women binge drink.",
"Racial differences exist among binge drinking with Hispanics followed by Caucasians having the highest level of binge drinking.",
"Caucasians have been found to be nearly twice as likely to binge drink than blacks.",
"It is a common pattern among Native Americans.",
"Among the Australian youth population, 31% of males and 14% of women aged 15–17 years engage in risky alcohol consumption.",
"Individuals of African descent have a lower level of binge drinking followed by those of Asian descent.",
"In the case of Asians their low level of binge drinking may be due to the presence of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (ALDH2, Chromosome 12) in many (but by no means the vast majority) that results in poor metabolism of alcohol, which leads to severe adverse effects such as facial flushing.",
"Men are more likely to binge drink (up to 81% of alcohol binges are done by men) than women and men are also more likely to develop alcohol dependence than women.",
"People who are homozygous for the ALDH2 gene are less likely to binge-drink due to severe adverse effects that occur even with moderate amounts of alcohol consumption.",
"College students have been found to be more likely to binge drink than their same age peers who were not enrolled in college.",
"In the US, this effect has caused serious problems with the country's legal drinking age.",
"This effect is more prevalent in women than in men.",
"Other factors that have been found to correlate with higher levels of binge drinking include low religiosity, marijuana use, living with roommates, and cigarette use.",
"Binge drinking costs the UK economy approximately £20 billion a year; 17 million working days are estimated to be lost due to hangovers and drink-related illness each year.",
"The cost of binge drinking to employers is estimated to be £6.4 billion and the cost per year of alcohol harm is estimated to cost the National Health Service £2.7 billion.",
"Urgent action has been recommended to understand the binge drinking culture and its aetiology and pathogenesis and urgent action has been called for to educate people with regard to the dangers of binge drinking.",
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study in October 2011 that showed that in the United States binge drinking costs society $223 billion a year, which amounts to $2 per drink.",
"These costs include health care costs for alcohol-related issues, including liver cirrhosis, loss of work productivity, property damage due to drunk driving, and expenditures related to criminal acts.",
"Overall, 11.9% of binge drinkers drove during or within two hours of their most recent binge drinking episode.",
"Those drinking in licensed establishments (bars, clubs, and restaurants) accounted for 54.3% of these driving episodes.",
"Significant independent risk factors for driving after binge drinking included male gender (AOR=1.75); being aged 35–54 or ≥55 years compared to 18–34 years (AOR=1.58 and 2.37, respectively); and drinking in bars or clubs compared to drinking in the respondent's home (AOR=7.81).",
"Drivers who drank most of their alcohol in licensed establishments consumed an average of 8.1 drinks, and 25.7% of them consumed ≥10 drinks.",
"Women become intoxicated more quickly than men, and experience a higher blood alcohol level.",
"This difference in effect occurs even when a woman's body weight and consumption of alcohol are the same as that of a man.",
"Because of these discrepancies, college-age women tend to experience the consequences of binge drinking before their male counterparts.",
"There is no known safe level of alcohol consumption either when trying to get pregnant or during pregnancy.",
"With alcohol abuse remaining highly stigmatized—particularly in the case of pregnant women—some advocate for treatment programs to focus on a non-judgmental stance, on personal empowerment, and on offering contraceptives to women engaging in sex, in order to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorder."

"Due to the long term effects of excessive alcohol use, binge drinking is considered to be a major public health issue.",
"Frequent binge drinking can lead to brain damage faster and more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism).",
"The neurotoxic insults are due to very large amounts of glutamate which are released and over-stimulate the brain as a binge finishes.",
"Each binge drinking episode immediately insults the brain; repeat episodes result in accumulating harm.",
"With prolonged abstinence neurogenesis occurs which can potentially reverse the damage from heavy alcohol use."

Ode to Joy | [
"Schiller wrote the first version of the poem when he was staying in Gohlis, Leipzig.",
"In the year 1785 from the beginning of May till mid September, he stayed with his publisher, Georg Joachim Göschen, in Leipzig and wrote \"An die Freude\" along with his play \"Don Carlos\".",
"Schiller later made some revisions to the poem, which was then republished posthumously in 1808, and it was this latter version that forms the basis for Beethoven's setting.",
"Despite the lasting popularity of the ode, Schiller himself regarded it as a failure later in his life, going so far as to call it \"detached from reality\" and \"of value maybe for us two, but not for the world, nor for the art of poetry\" in an 1800 letter to his longtime friend and patron Christian Gottfried Körner (whose friendship had originally inspired him to write the ode).",
"The lines marked with",
"Academic speculation remains as to whether Schiller originally wrote an ode \"To Freedom\" (\"An die Freiheit\") and changed it to \"To Joy\".",
"Thayer wrote in his biography of Beethoven, \"the thought lies near that it was the early form of the poem, when it was still an 'Ode to Freedom' (not 'to Joy'), which first aroused enthusiastic admiration for it in Beethoven's mind\".",
"The musicologist Alexander Rehding points out that even Bernstein, who used \"Freiheit\" in two performances in 1989, called it conjecture whether Schiller used \"joy\" as code for \"freedom\" and that scholarly consensus holds that there is no factual basis for this myth.",
"Over the years, Beethoven's \"Ode to Joy\" has remained a protest anthem and a celebration of music.",
"Other musical settings of the poem include:"
