Illustrator tutorial Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based drawing program developed and marketed by Adobe Systems.Adobe Illustrator was first developed for the Apple Macintosh in 1986 (shipping in January 1987)as a logical commercialization of Adobe's in-house font development software and PostScript file format.In many ways Illustrator's release was a gamble:the Macintosh did not have high market share, the only printer that could output Illustrator documents was Apple's own LaserWriter (also very new and expensive), and the drawing paradigm of Bzier curves was novel to the mainstream user. Not only did the Macintosh show only monochrome graphics, but display options were basically limited to its built-in 9" monitor. Illustrator helped drive the development of larger monitors for ...

Ovarian tumor Ovarian cancer is a malignant ovarian neoplasm (an abnormal growth located on the ovaries). Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women, the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy, and the second most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy . It is idiopathic, meaning that the exact cause is usually unknown. The disease is more common in industrialized nations, with the exception of Japan. In the United States, females have a 1. 4% to 2. 5% (1 out of 40-60 women) lifetime chance of developing ovarian cancer. Older women are at highest risk. More than half of the deaths from ovarian cancer occur in women between 55 and 74 years of age and approximately one quarter of ovarian cancer deaths occur in women between 35 and 5... [continue]
Thanksgiving day Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks, traditionally to God, for the things one has at the end of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United States, certain kinds of food are traditionally served at Thanksgiving meals. First and foremost, turkey is usually the featured item on any Thanksgiving feast table (so much so that Thanksgiving is sometimes referred to as "Turkey Day"). Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, Indian corn, other fall vegetables, and pumpkin pie are commonly associated with Thanksgiving dinner. All of these primary dis... [continue]
Christening decoration Ceremonial clothing in Western cultures (i. e cultures that are influenced by Judeo-Christian traditions), life cycle celebrations associated with particular occasions are manifested by certain types of ceremonial clothing. Many people adhering to Western religions welcome a new-born child into the congregation or the community with a special ceremony, such as baptism for Christian children or a bris for Jewish males in religious families. Adult participants wear clothing appropriate for religious occasions. The child, in the Christian case, often wears a special christening robe. This white dress, worn by both males and females, is typically extremely long, so that the hem of the dress extends a meter or more past the infant's feet. The adult holding the ... [continue]

County nassau Nassau County is a suburban county in the New York Metropolitan Area east of New York City in the U. S. state of New York. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,334,544. The name of the county comes from an old name for Long Island, which was at one time named Nassau, after William of Nassau, Prince of Orange (who later became King William III of England. ) The county colors, orange and blue, are also the colors of the House of Orange. Nassau County's county seat is Mineola. Nassau and Suffolk counties together are generally referred to as "Long Island" by area residents as distinct from the New York City boroughs of Queens (Queens County) and Brooklyn (Kings County), which physically make up the island's westernmost end. In 2005, Forbes magazine na... [continue]
Electric fence charger An electric fence is a barrier that uses painful or even lethal high-voltage electric shocks to deter animals or people from crossing a boundary. The concept of the electric fence was first described in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, in 1889, as a defensive weapon. Electric fences were used to control stock in the United States in the early 1930's, and developed further in both the United States and New Zealand. An early application of the electric fence was developed in 19361937 by New Zealand inventor William "Bill" Gallagher Snr. Built from a car's ignition coil and a meccano set, Gallagher used the device to keep his horse from scratching itself against his car. Gallagher later started a company to improve and market his invent... [continue]
Collagen filler Plastic surgery is a specialty that uses surgical techniques to change the appearance and function of patients' bodies. Some of these operations are called "cosmetic", and others are called "reconstructive". The word "plastic" derives from the Greek plastikos meaning to mold or to shape; its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. The history of plastic surgery reaches back to the ancient world. Physicians in ancient India including Susrutha were utilizing skin grafts for reconstructive work as early as the 8th century BC. His work Sushruta Samhita describes rhinoplasty and otoplasty. This knowledge of plastic surgery existed in India up to the late 18th century as can be seen from the reports published in Gentleman'... [continue]
Chronic sinusitis Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues. Newer classifications of sinusitis refer to it as rhinosinusitis, taking into account the thought that inflammation of the sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose as well (rhinitis). There are several paired paranasal sinuses, including the frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses. The ethmoid sinuses can also be further broken down into anterior and posterior, the division of which is defined as the basal lamella of the middle turbinate. In addition to the acuity of disease, discussed below, sinusitis can be classified by the sinus cavity which it affects:Recent the... [continue]
Buffalo nickel The Indian Head nickel, also known as the Buffalo nickel, was an American nickel five-cent piece minted from 1913 to 1938. It was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser. The Liberty Head nickel design had been introduced in 1883 by Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. In the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt had embarked upon a campaign to change the designs of U. S. coinage, most of which had been designed by Barber. Roosevelt considered Barber's coinage ugly and preferred ancient Greek designs, which incorporated high relief. During his administration, Roosevelt had the old double eagle replaced with a new design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, but most of the minor coinage was not altered. In 1911, Treasury Secretary Franklin MacVeagh, who had work... [continue]
Oneida silverware The Oneida Community was a utopian commune founded by John Humphrey Noyes in 1848 in Oneida, New York. The community believed that Jesus Christ had already returned in the year 70 AD, making it it possible for them to bring about Christ's millenial kingdom themselves, and be free of sin and perfect in this world, not just Heaven (a belief called Perfectionism). The Oneida Community practiced Communalism (in the sense of communal property and possessions), Complex Marriage, Male Continence, Mutual Criticism and Ascending Fellowship. There were smaller communities in Wallingford, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Putney, Vermont; and Cambridge, Vermont. The community's original 87 members grew to 172 by February 1850, 208 by 1852 and 306 by 1878. With the exc... [continue]
Wholesale lending The term eLending or e-Lending is a relatively new term and is used to describe a new medium for bankers and other lenders to engage in online lending activity. Data can be transmitted electronically without the use of paper, telephones or fax machines. The information age has provided loan seekers with an opportunity to compare, search for, apply for and receive loans from internet websites. Some of the top online lenders allow consumers to "sign" their documents online with an electronic signature. Bankers who traditionally relied upon local customers at the branch level, or lenders who traditionally relied upon responses from advertisements in local or regional newspapers, now require an online presence to compete nationally or in some cases globally.

The crescent shape is narrowed around Yvoire on the southern shore, the lake can th... [continue]
Fluorescent tube A fluorescent lamp is a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite mercury vapor in argon or neon gas, resulting in a plasma that produces short-wave ultraviolet light. This light then causes a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light. Unlike incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps always require a ballast to regulate the flow of power through the lamp. In common tube fixtures (typically 4 ft (120 cm) or 8 ft (240 cm) in length), the ballast is enclosed in the fixture. Compact fluorescent light bulbs may have a conventional ballast located in the fixture or they may have ballasts integrated in the bulbs, allowing them to be used in lampholders normally used for incandescent lamps. The earliest ancestor of the fluorescent lamp is probably the dev... [continue]
Geometry formula In mathematics, the adjunction formula of algebraic geometry and complex manifold theory relates, for a hypersurface, its normal bundle, its canonical bundle, and the canonical bundle of the ambient variety or manifold. Let H be a hypersurface in a complex manifold M. Then firstly the canonical bundle of H iswhere KM is the canonical bundle of M, and the notation denotes its restriction to H, and L is the line bundle associated to H as Cartier divisor, restricted to H. (The product of line bundles is here implied, i. e. tensor product of line bundles. ). Secondly, L more explicitly can be taken as the normal bundle NH in M. This givesthe adjunction formula. For example, the formula for projective n-space iswhere O(1) is the Serre twist sheaf. This is com... [continue]
