Students sometimes have problems in deciding which universities they want to apply to. Suggest 3 factors that students should consider when applying to universities. You may include some of the following aspects, courses offered and also facilities. Write at least 350 words.

Recently student are having the problems which is to decide which universities they want to apply to, in order for them to continue their studies. Due to the fact that , few student are not very consider about the courses offered by the universities. Student must consider about courses offered to them , the facilities that provided at the universities and also the benefits that students will get when they roll on the one particular universities .

            The first point is ,student must take serious about the courses offered to them by the universities . students have to match the same courses with their major at secondary  school before they accept the offer. If not , student will not reach their qualification for the education and maybe few students will be kicked off from the universities because of can’t reach the requirement for the courses. As a result , there’s so many students will loss of their opportunity to get a better job. This situation will effect to our government because there’s  no quality students to take over the specific position in one company. That’s  why students have to bare in mind about the coursed offered by the universities.

            With the mushrooming of small and big universities as well as private colleges in urban centre , not all offer adequate facilities . in addition to , they does not adequately equipment the student with the necessary survival skills . there is need for a drastic change of curriculum and co- curriculum content. As a result , students  can’t be tolerated  with their  courses. For example, students in courses nursing , if does not adequately equipment , they can’t see the real situation regarding the their skills and knowledge.

Moreover, planning to study abroad,student’s should consider on education loan as well choosing a trustable education loan can make the student be in secured position throughout the course. One are eligible for the education loan if they fulfill their particular universities requirement . Most of the loan will be in the foam of package which will cover entire fees,hostel ,library fees and other fees.

            To summarize, students must be able to think carefully before do decision which universities they want to apply . they must to considerate about offered from universities , fees and also the adequate facilities that provide from the universities. Moreover, based on the factors above,its important to realize that they should consider many things when deciding on their university,there’s no point making a decision based on one or two characteristics,as they are likely to find it doesn’t meet all their needs. This is because everyone looks for something different from university and every university something unique.

Causes and Symptoms What causes high blood pressure?

For 85% to 95% of people with high blood pressure, the cause of their high blood pressure is not known. Called primary hypertension, this condition probably results from a variety of causes.1

Risk factors

Age and Sex. The risk of developing high blood pressure increases as you age. Most cases of high blood pressure are diagnosed in men, until the age of 45. From age 45 to 54, men and women are equally at risk for high blood pressure. After the age of 54, women are actually more likely to have high blood pressure than men.2 This may suggest that estrogen has a protective role in blood pressure. It is thought that estrogen helps keep blood vessels flexible. Estrogen may also work with other hormones to reduce the risk of high blood pressure in younger women.3

Family History. People with relatives who have high blood pressure are more likely to develop high blood pressure.4

Ethnicity. People of African American and Native American ethnicity have very high rates of high blood pressure, and the situation appears to be a growing problem. Compared with Caucasians, African Americans develop hypertension earlier in life, and their average blood pressures are much higher.2

Diet. People who regularly eat foods that are high in salt are more susceptible to high blood pressure.4

Obesity. People who are overweight are at risk for many illnesses, including high blood pressure.5

Stress. Studies have shown that people with heightened anxiety, intense anger, and suppressed expression of anger were more at risk of developing high blood pressure.6

HAEMODIALYSIS

•          Hemodialysis uses a special type of filter to remove excess waste products and water from the body.

•          Peritoneal dialysis uses a fluid that is placed into the patient's stomach cavity through a special plastic tube to remove excess waste products and fluid from the body.

•          During hemodialysis, blood passes from the patient's body through a filter in the dialysis machine, called a "dialysis membrane."

•          For this procedure, the patient has a specialized plastic tube placed between an artery and a vein in the arm or leg (called a "gortex graft").

•          Sometimes, a direct connection is made between an artery and a vein in the arm. This procedure is called a "Cimino fistula."

Needles are then placed in the graft or fistula, and blood passes to the dialysis machine, through the filter, and back to the patient. In the dialysis machine, a solution on the other side of the filter receives the waste products from the patient

What does the patient do during dialysis?

•          Treatment for hemodialysis takes place in a hemodialysis unit

. This is a special building that is equipped with machines that perform the dialysis treatment. Special equipment adds the proper materials to purified water for the dialysis machines

•          Patients generally go to the dialysis unit three times a week for treatment.

•          Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

•           Before treatment, patients weigh themselves so that excess fluid accumulated since the last dialysis session can be measured.

•          Patients then go to assigned chairs that are like lounge chairs.

•          The area of the graft or fistula (the connection between the artery and vein), is cleaned thoroughly.

•          Two needles are then inserted into the graft or fistula.

•          One takes the blood to the machine where it is cleaned.

•          The other needle allows blood that is returning to the patient to go back into the patient's body.

•          Treatments last from 2 ½ to 4 ½ hours.

•          During this time, patient's blood pressure will be checked frequently and also the dialysis machine to ensure that the proper amount of fluid is being removed from the patients body.

•          Patients can read, watch television, sleep, or do other work during treatment.

•          Patient on dialysis have to follow the schedule about his dialysis.

•          Patient also have to take strict precaution about his diet and fluid control.

Aurora Alert: The Sun Is Waking Up

ScienceDaily (Aug. 2, 2010) — Sky viewers might get to enjoy some spectacular Northern Lights, or aurorae, on Wednesday (Aug. 3, 2010). After a long slumber, the Sun is waking up. Early Sunday morning, the Sun's surface erupted and blasted tons of plasma (ionized atoms) into interplanetary space. That plasma is headed our way, and when it arrives, it could create a spectacular light show.

Hundreds Of Rogue Black Holes May Roam The Milky Way, Swallowing Anything That Gets Too Close

ScienceDaily (Apr. 29, 2009) — It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi movie: rogue black holes roaming our galaxy, threatening to swallow anything that gets too close. In fact, new calculations by Ryan O'Leary and Avi Loeb (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) suggest that hundreds of massive black holes, left over from the galaxy-building days of the early universe, may wander the Milky Way.

Good news, however: Earth is safe. The closest rogue black hole should reside thousands of light-years away.

What Is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.

Get Help Quickly

Acting fast at the first sign of heart attack symptoms can save your life and limit damage to your heart. Treatment is most effective when started within 1 hour of the beginning of symptoms.

The most common heart attack signs and symptoms are:

• Chest discomfort or pain—uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
• Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
• Shortness of breath may occur with or before chest discomfort.
• Other signs include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, lightheadedness or fainting, or breaking out in a cold sweat.

If you think you or someone you know may be having a heart attack:

• Call 9–1–1 within a few minutes—5 at the most—of the start of symptoms.
• If your symptoms stop completely in less than 5 minutes, still call your doctor.
• Only take an ambulance to the hospital. Going in a private car can delay treatment.
• Take a nitroglycerin pill if your doctor has prescribed this type of medicine.

Flood

A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. [2]In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.

Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding.
