| ARTICLES RELATED TO spine | | | |  spine: Encyclopedia II - Meditation - Physical posturesDifferent spiritual traditions, and different teachers within those traditions, prescribe or suggest different physical postures for meditation. Most famous are the several cross-legged postures, including the so-called Lotus Position. For example, the Dalai Lama recommends the Seven Points of Vairocana in which
the legs are crossed in either the Lotus Positon (here called the vajra position) or the other way, "Indian" or "tailor" fashion (here called the bodhisattva position)
the eyes are kept open (thus affirming the ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - Meditation - Meditation in context Most traditions address the integration of mind, body, and spirit (this is a major theme of the Bhagavad-Gita); or that of spiritual practice with family life, work, and so on. Often, meditation is said to be incomplete if it doesn't lead to positive changes in one's daily life and attitudes. In that spirit some Zen practitioners have promoted "Zen driving," aimed at reducing road rage.
Meditation is often presented not as a "free-standing" activity, but as one part of a wider spiritual tradition. Nevertheless, many meditators today d ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - List of enemies in Doom - Spider Mastermind Reminiscent of Krang, the Spider Mastermind is the second strongest enemy in the original Doom series. They have a powerful super chaingun (essentially a rapid-fire shotgun) that causes tremendous damage to anything caught in its path, especially at close range. The Spider Mastermind can be described as a large brain with two red eyes and a mouth filled with sharp teeth, attached to a metal platform with four mechanical legs. One to four direct hits from a BFG 9000 or about 150 shots from the plasma rifle are needed to kill it. The more common Arachnotrons in Doom II and ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - Meditation - Types of meditation According to Bogart (1991) and Perez-De-Albeniz & Holmes (2000) the different techniques of meditation can be classified according to their focus. That is, whether they focus on the field or background perception and experience, also called mindfulness, or whether they focus on a preselected specific object, also called "'concentrative' meditation." There are also techniques that shift between the field and the object.
Categorizing the varieties of meditation is difficult. One common way is according to religion or lineage. Of cou ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - Stopping power - Biological effects Permanent and temporary cavitation cause very different biological effects. The effects of a permanent cavity are fairly obvious. A hole through the heart will cause loss of blood and eventual cardiac arrest. A hole through the brain can cause instant unconsciousness and is quite likely to kill the recipient. A hole through an arm or leg which hits only muscle, however, will cause a great deal of pain but is unlikely to be fatal.
The effects of temporary cavitation are less well understood, due to a lack of a test material similar to ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - Meditation - Overview The English word meditation comes from the Latin meditatio, which originally indicated every type of physical or intellectual exercise, then later evolved into the more specific meaning "contemplation." This usage is found in Christian spirituality, for example, "meditations on the sufferings of Christ"; as well as Western philosophy, as in Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, a set of six mental exercises which system ...

They have 50 HP, and use rapid attacks that are slower and weaker than the Heavy Weapons Dude's chaingun. Notably, they say the same things as their Wolf3D counterparts, but different samples are used, with a higher pitched voice.

angiomatosis - little knots of capillaries in various organs. These tend to be cavernous hemangiomas, which are sharply defined, sponge-like tumors composed of large, dilated, cavernous vascular spaces.
hemangioblastomas - tumors of the central nervous system (CNS, especially the cerebellum). These tumors, whether benign (usual) or malignant (rarer), may cause problems, for example angiomas in the brain or spinal cord may press on nerve or brain tissue.

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - List of enemies in Doom - Arachnotron The Arachnotron is introduced in Doom II, loosely resembling a robotic spider. It appears to be a much smaller version of the larger Spider Mastermind.
It bears much of the same form as its larger counterpart, such as the large brain with two eyes, and is also attached to a metal platform with four mechanical legs. However, the eyes are blue instead of red, and they lack the sharkish teeth and evil grin of the Mastermind. Instead of a chain gun as a weapon, it is armed with a plasma rifle, like the player's. Arachnotrons ...

Its image appears in the original Doom on numerous pieces of stone tablets, although it is never an enemy in the game. The Icon of Sin takes its name from the final level of the game, in which it is fought.
The Icon of Sin itself is a large demonic goat-like head set in a wall. This demon, the largest in the Doom series, continuously projects skull-faced cubes from its exposed brain. Upon landin ...

Puberty - Breast development.
The first physical sign of puberty in girls is usually a firm, tender lump under the center of the areola(e) of one or both breasts, occurring on average at about 10.5 years. This is referred to as thelarche. By the widely used Tanner staging of puberty, this is stage 2 of breast development (stage 1 is a flat, prepubertal breast). Within 6-12 months, the swelling has clearly begun in both sides, softened, and can be felt and seen extending beyond the edges of the areolae. This is st ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - SuperCroc - Behavior and diet Like modern crocodiles, the SuperCroc could probably make a wide range of vocalizations, from grunts and squeaks to hisses, growls, barks, bellows, and roars. The SuperCrocs may have used these sounds to stake out territory, to attract mates, and to communicate with their progeny.
Like modern crocodiles, the SuperCroc's eye sockets rotate upwards, so it probably spent most of its time with the majority of i ...

| | | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - Stopping power - Physiological effects The only way to physiologically stop a person is to damage or disrupt their central nervous system (CNS) to the point that they fall unconscious or die. Bullets can achieve this directly or indirectly. If a bullet causes sufficient damage to the brain (particularly the cerebellum or brain stem) or cervical spinal cord, the CNS damage is direct and nearly instant. However, these targets are well-protected, very small, and mobile, makin ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - SuperCroc - Environment 100 million years ago, in the late Cretaceous, the Sahara was still a great tropical plain, dotted with lakes and crossed by rivers and streams that were lined with vegetation. Based on the number of fossils discovered, the aquatic Sarcosuchus was probably plentiful in these warm, shallow, freshwater habitats.
Unlike modern crocodiles, which are very similar in size and shape to one another, and tend to live in different areas; the SuperCroc was just one of many crocodiles, of different sizes and shapes, all living in the same ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - SuperCroc - Scientific study The SuperCroc remains are from several individuals, and include a spine (vertebrae), limb bones, hip bones (a pelvic girdle), the bony armored plates that ran down its back (scutes), and more than a half-dozen skulls. Crocodile skulls are thick and heavy, and are found more frequently than the rest of the body. This is quite a contrast with dinosaurs, whose relatively fragile skulls rarely become part of the fossil record.
The scutes can also be used to determine age, since they have growth rings like those found in trees. One 80 percent-grown specimen was discovered with 40 rings, indicating that it had lived for 40 ye ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - SuperCroc - Classification The SuperCroc is not an ancestor of modern crocodiles. It is not even a crocodile, at least in the technical sense. A "crocodile" is a member of a species belonging to the taxon Crocodilia. And Crocodilia includes all modern species, and all extinct species descended from the nearest common ancestor of all the living crocodiles. The SuperCroc is a pholidosaur, a branch that split off before the first ancestral crocodile.
But "crocodile" is commonly used in a much broader sense. After all, even the first "crocodile-like reptiles" (the ...

| | | | | spine: Encyclopedia II - SuperCroc - The giant croc phenomenon Giant crocodiles seem to be a good example of convergence, because according to Schwimmer, "the idea of really big crocs is a repeat theme in evolution." This may be in part due to body design (the armored plates the back can provide structural support to a massive body), and in part due to environment (water can buoy up their massive bodies). (See also: Cope's law.)
A study of another giant croc, the Deinosuchus, indicated that it grew at about the same rate as modern crocodiles, up to 0.5 m (1.5 ft) per year. It was la ...
