  • What Do You Need to Know to Reduce Your Risk?
    What do you need to know to reduce your risk? Understand what high risk drinking is Understand Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Levels and some key points about BAC Understand what a standard drink size is vs. a typical party drink size Know the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning Know the actions to take if someone appears to be suffering from alcohol poisoning High Risk Drinking Participating in drinking games Celebratory drinking (21st birthday, “the big game”, end of semester, graduation, spring break…) Drinking to get drunk Pre-partying/pre-loading Doing shots Chugging Using a funnel, hose, trough or punch bowl Mixing alcohol with any drugs (legal or illegal) Not knowing what you are drinking or how much you are drinking Combining alcohol with energy drinks These are examples, certainly not all the ways you can drink in a high risk fashion. Any drinking that is in high amounts or short periods of time, creating a situation where the body can’t handle the alcohol, is high risk drinking. How the Body Processes Alcohol When a person drinks alcohol, it can enter the bloodstream immediately. The molecular structure of alcohol is small, so the alcohol can be absorbed or transferred into the blood through the walls of the stomach and the small intestine. The stomach actually has a relatively slow absorption rate; it is the small intestine that absorbs most of the alcohol. Once in the bloodstream, alcohol moves through the body and comes into contact with virtually every organ. However, some of the highest concentrations, and certainly the highest impact, is caused by the alcohol when it reaches the brain.

  • Easy Open Pull Tab
    Easy Open Pull Tab Submitted to the Italian Packaging Technology Competition March 15, 2006 Brian Calcagno Teresa Haynes Hatfield Josh Taylor California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo PROBLEM There are many people in the world who bite their fingernails. Health risks and public annoyance aside, this causes a disability in opening food packages with metal pull-tabs, such as soft drink cans. Since about 100 billion soft drink cans are produced in the U.S. every year (about one per person per day), it’s obvious that these cans are common in every refrigerator (Kyung- Sun). They should be easy to open, and to many they are. However there is still room for improvement to the design, as nailbiters still find some cans difficult to open. Some soft drink can tabs have been rounded at the end, leaving a tiny space for leverage, but this space is only large enough for a strong fingernail. If the person trying to open the package has no such fingernail, he will have a very difficult time getting to his favorite soft drink. A recent innovation in canned soup packaging has used pull-tabs to make can openers obsolete. The larger, heavier design of these poses an even more significant challenge to nailbiters than soda cans. The geometry of the pull tab on these larger cans causes the tabs to resist upward force even more strongly than familiar soda cans. The shape of the score that the tab is supposed to break also affects the amount of force necessary to open the can.

  • Prohibition's Proving Ground: Automobile Culture and Dry
    PROHIBITION’S PROVING GROUND: AUTOMOBILE CULTURE AND DRY ENFORCEMENT ON THE TOLEDO-DETROIT-WINDSOR CORRIDOR, 1913-1933 Joseph Boggs A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2019 Committee: Michael Brooks, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso © 2019 Joseph Boggs All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Brooks, Advisor The rapid rise of an automobile culture in the 1910s and 20s provided ordinary North Americans greater mobility, freedom, privacy, and economic opportunity. Simultaneously, the United States and Canada witnessed a surge in “dry” sentiments and laws, culminating in the passage of the 18th Amendment and various provincial acts that precluded the outright sale of alcohol to the public. In turn, enforcement of prohibition legislation became more problematic due to society’s quick embracing of the automobile and bootleggers’ willingness to utilize cars for their illegal endeavors. By closely examining the Toledo-Detroit-Windsor corridor—a region known both for its motorcar culture and rum-running reputation—during the time period of 1913-1933, it is evident why prohibition failed in this area. Dry enforcers and government officials, frequently engaging in controversial policing tactics when confronting suspected motorists, could not overcome the distinct advantages that automobiles afforded to entrepreneurial bootleggers and the organized networks of criminals who exploited the transnational nature of the region. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER I.

  • Acquisition of L2 Phonology – Spanish Meets Croatian
    ACQUISITION OF L2 PHONOLOGY – SPANISH MEETS CROATIAN Maša Musulin University of Zagreb Article History: Submitted: 10.06.2015 Accepted: 08.08.2015 Abstract: The phoneme is conceived as a mental image that is stored in our mind and then represented by sounds in speech and graphemes in writing for phonologically based alphabets. The acquisition of L2 phonology includes two very important skills – reading and writing. The information stored in the mind of a speaker interferes with new information produced by the L2 (Robinson, Ellis 2008; Nathan, 2008). What is similar or equal in the target language to one's native language is, while unknown, incorporated one way or another into an existing model, based on prototypicality (Pompeian, 2004, Moreno Fernández, 2010). The process of teaching the sounds, letters and alphabet to foreign students is much shorter than for native speakers because to a foreign student must be given a tool for writing as soon as possible as they have to write what they are learning and memorize new language units (Celce-Murcia, Brinton, Goodwin, 1996). This paper discusses one type of difficulties Spanish learners of Croatian as L2 face when they are introduced to phonology through letters which represent Croatian sounds in order to display the influence of their preexisting phonological concepts. The subjects are ten students from Spain and Latin America. Their task was to read a group of words containing sounds that were predictably hard for them, minimal pairs and a short text. Keywords: phoneme, grapheme, letter, phonological awareness, foreign language 1. INTRODUCTION As literacy has a big impact on phonological awareness in languages with phonological writing, the graphemes that represent the phonemes, including letters, make an integral part of their mental image.

  • South Kyengsang Nominal Accent 1 a NOTE ON
    South Kyengsang nominal accent 1 A NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY: In this description we distinguish two types of “atonic” nouns of one or two syllables: atonic L, which historically come from Middle Korean L(L) words and atonic R, which historically come from Middle Korean R(H ~ L). Ongoing analysis has revealed that the atonic R is allied to the preaccent class, i.e. the atonic R perhaps should be labeled “preaccent R” or the like. However, until we work out a definitive analysis and settle on a comprehensive terminology, we have kept the “atonic R” label. TONE AND ACCENT IN SOUTH KYENGSANG KOREAN NOUNS1 Jieun Kim and Russell G. Schuh UCLA Department of Linguistics 1. Introduction Middle Korean (MK) was a tone language. Accurate documentation of Korean pronunciation dates from Late Middle Korean of the 15th century thanks to the hankul writing system, created under the direction of King Sejong. Remarkably, the form of hankul used to write middle Korean marked not only segmental phonemes but also tones. Tones were marked in MK by “side dots”. MK had three tones:2 low tone (L), which was unmarked; high tone (H), which was marked by a single dot to the left of the syllable; and rising tone (R), which was marked by double dots (resembling a colon) to the left of the syllable. Though the modern use of hankul has changed little from the way it was used in MK, tones are no longer marked, even in dialects that retain lexical pitch distinctions. The table below gives examples of MK words in hankul with a Yale transliteration3 and the modern hankul spelling and Yale transliteration, with accents added marking tones of the modern South Kyengsang reflexes.

  • Alcoholic Beverages; Authorizing a Manufacturer Licensee to Hold a Drinking Establishment License
    To: House Federal & State Affairs Committee February 14, 2017 From: R.E. “Tuck” Duncan RE: HB2141 — Alcoholic beverages; authorizing a manufacturer licensee to hold a drinking establishment license. The KWSWA opposes HB2141. This bill creates a “tied house” which is contrary to state and federal public policy. The Federal Alcohol Administration Act provides at 7 United States Code, Chapter 8, Subchapter I, Section 205 establishes "Tied house" violations. As prescribed under the Tied House provisions, it is unlawful for industry members to induce, directly or indirectly, a retailer to purchase alcoholic beverage products from the industry member to the exclusion, in whole or in part, of alcohol beverage products offered for sale by others. This guidance is issued to address recent examples of industry members found to have furnished retailers with unlawful inducements by supplying items of value such as product displays, point of sale advertising materials, equipment and supplies in exchange for favorable product shelf or display space. TTB regulations at 27 CFR 6.21(a) through (g) list seven prohibited means to induce that can lead to a violation under the Tied House provisions Paragraph (c) of this regulation provides that an industry member may not furnish, give, rent, lend, or sell to a retailer any equipment, fixtures, signs, supplies, money, services, or other things of value, subject to the exceptions listed under Subpart D of part 6. Sec. 6.11 defines industry member and retailer as follows: Industry member. Any person engaged in business as a distiller, brewer, rectifier, blender, or other producer, or as an importer or wholesaler, of distilled spirits, wine or malt beverages, or as a bottler, or warehousemen and bottler, of distilled spirits; industry member does not include an agency of a State or political subdivision thereof, or an officer or employee of such agency.
