| ARTICLES RELATED TO Long Count | | | |  Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Alcoholism - EffectsToday, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are major public health problems in North America, costing the region's inhabitants, by some estimates, as much as US$170 billion annually. Alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are life-threatening problems that sometimes end in death, particularly through liver, pancreatic, or kidney disease, internal bleeding, brain deterioration, alcohol poisoning, and suicide. Heavy alcohol consumption by a pregnant mother can also lead to fetal alcohol syndrome, an uncurable and damaging condition.

The disease can be lifelong and can be sometimes treated through ongoing therapy accompanied by attendance at self-help meetings. Although medications have been developed to assist in the treatment of alcoholism, the research has not yet demonstrated long term efficacy for any specific methods of treatment.

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Radiocarbon dating - Measurements and scales Measurements are traditionally made by counting the radioactive decay of individual carbon atoms by gas proportional counting or by Liquid scintillation counting, but this is relatively insensitive and subject to relatively large statistical uncertainties for small samples (below about 1g carbon). If there is little carbon-14 to begin with, a half-life that long means that very few of the atoms will decay while their detection is attempted (4 atoms/s)/mol just after death, hence e.g. 1 (atom/s)/mol after 10,000 years). Sensitivity has since ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Marion Barry - Conviction On January 18, 1990, Barry was arrested with a former girlfriend, Hazel "Rasheeda" Moore, in a sting operation at the Vista Hotel by the FBI and D.C. Police for crack cocaine use and possession. The incident – played over and over on television – produced what is perhaps the most memorable quote of Barry's long career: ""Goddamn setup . . . I'll be goddamn . . . bitch set me up."
Barry was charged with three counts of felony perjury, 10 counts of misdemeanor drug possession, and one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to possess cocai ...

| | | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Bobrinsky - The first count The Russian Empress gave birth to her only illegitimate son on April 11, 1762, several months after her ascension to the throne. The child was named Aleksey after his uncle and godfather, Count Aleksey Orlov. He was brought up in Bobriki, a village in the Tula guberniya. On April 2, 1781 Catherine sent him a letter, in which she openly avowed her maternity. She long hesitated in choosing his surname, styling him Romanov one day and Sitsky the other, but finally settled on Bobrinsky, a surname derived from the estate he lived in. On the 5th d ...

In the 19th and 20th centuries sheep counts and children's counting rhymes which are possibly derived from Cumbric were collected throughout northern England: eg Yan, Tan, Tethera, Methera, Pim compared to Old Welsh "Un, Dou, Tri, Petwar, Pimp".
More concrete evidence of Cumbric exists in the place-names of the extreme northwest of England and the South of Scotland, the personal names of Strathclyde Britons in Scottish, Irish and Anglo-Saxon sources, and a few Cumbric words surviving into the ...

| | | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Latin poetry - Special features of Classical Latin poetry
Latin poetry - Heavy and light syllables.
Classical Latin poetry differs from English poetry in that Latin meter is based upon vowel length rather than stress. In Latin, syllables are either heavy (long) or light (short). A syllable is heavy if its vowel is long by nature (a long vowel or a diphthong) or if it is long by position (a short vowel followed by multiple consonants or by one of the double consonants, x and z). The consonants in the next word may count toward ma ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Blackjack - Rules Blackjack hands are scored by their point total. The hand with the highest total wins as long as it doesn't go over 21, which is called a bust. Cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value, and face cards (jack, queen, king) are also worth 10. An ace counts as 11 unless it would bust a hand, in which case it counts as 1.
The goal of each player is to beat the dealer, by having the higher, unbusted hand. Note that if the player busts, he loses, even if the dealer also busts. If the player's and the dealer's hands have the same point value, this is known as a "push", and neith ...

Stress
Tone
Sometimes syllable length is also counted as a suprasegmental feature; for example, in most Germanic languages, long vowels may only exist with short consonants and vice versa. However, syllables can be analyzed as compositions of long and short phonemes, as in Finnish and Japanese, wh ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Zubov - Prince Platon Zubov Platon Alexandrovich Zubov, or von Zuboff, as he preferred to call himself, the third son of his parents, was born in 1767. It was through his distant relative, the Field Marshal Nicholas Saltykov, that he met the Empress. Saltykov presented the young and handsome officer to the court on the understanding that he would help Saltykov in his feud with Catherine's long-standing favourite, Prince Potemkin.
In August of 1789, Catherine wrote to Potemkin that she returned to life after a long winter slumber "as a fly does". "Now I am ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Syllable - Syllables and stress Syllable structure often interacts with stress. In Latin, for example, stress is regularly determined by syllable weight, a syllable counting as heavy if has at least one of the following:
a long vowel in its nucleus
a diphthong in its nucleus
one or more coda(e)
In each case the syllable is considered to have two moras.

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Walking - Walking as a leisure activity Many people walk as a hobby, and in our post-industrial age it is often enjoyed as a form of exercise. Fitness walkers and others may use a pedometer to count their steps. The types of walking include bushwalking, racewalking, hillwalking, volksmarching, Nordic walking and hiking on long-distance paths. In some countries walking as a hobby is known as hiking (the typical North American term), rambling (a somewhat dated British expression, but remaining in use because it is enshrined in the title of the important Ramblers' Association), or tr ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Hemoglobin - Diagnostic use Hemoglobin levels are amongst the most commonly performed blood tests, usually as part of a full blood count or complete blood count. Results are reported in g/L, g/dl or mmol/L. For conversion, 1 g/dl is 0.62 mmol/L.
Glucose levels in blood can vary widely each hour, so one or only a few samples from a patient analyzed for glucose may not be representative of glucose control in the long run. For this reason a blood sample may be analyzed for Hb A1c level, which is more representative of glucose control averaged over ...

| | | | | Long Count: Encyclopedia II - Dolphin - Feeding Dolphins are predators, chasing their prey at high speed. The dentition is adapted to the animals they hunt: Species with long beaks and many teeth forage on fish, whereas short beaks and lesser tooth count are linked to catching squid. Some dolphins may take crustaceans. Usually, the prey is swallowed whole. The larger species, especially the orca, are capable of eating marine mammals, even large whales. There are no known repor ...
