query: Newspapers include information.

pos: Newspaper A newspaper is a serial publication containing news about current events , other informative articles about politics , sports , arts , and so on , and advertising . A newspaper is usually , but not exclusively , printed on relatively inexpensive , low-grade paper such as newsprint . The journalism organizations that publish newspapers are themselves often metonymically called newspapers . As of 2017 , most newspapers are now published online as well as in print . The online versions are called online newspapers or news websites . Newspapers are typically published daily or weekly . News magazines are also weekly , but they have a magazine format . General-interest newspapers typically publish news articles and feature articles on national and international news as well as local news . The news includes political events and personalities , business and finance , crime , weather , and natural disasters ; health and medicine , science , and computers and technology ; sports ; and entertainment , society , food and cooking , clothing and home fashion , and the arts .   Usually the paper is divided into sections for each of those major groupings ( labeled A , B , C , and so on , with pagination prefixes yielding page numbers A1-A20 , B1-B20 , C1-C20 , and so on ) . Most traditional papers also feature an editorial page containing editorials written by an editor ( or by the paper 's editorial board ) and expressing an opinion on a public issue , opinion articles called `` op-eds '' written by guest writers ( which are typically in the same section as the editorial ) , and columns that express the personal opinions of columnists , usually offering analysis and synthesis that attempts to translate the raw data of the news into information telling the reader `` what it all means '' and persuading them to concur . Papers also include articles which have no byline ; these articles are written by staff writers .   A wide variety of material has been published in newspapers . Besides the aforementioned news , information and opinions , they include weather forecasts ; criticism and reviews of the arts ( including literature , film , television , theater , fine arts , and architecture ) and of local services such as restaurants ; obituaries , birth notices and graduation announcements ; entertainment features such as crosswords , horoscopes , editorial cartoons , gag cartoons , and comic strips ; advice columns , food , and other columns ; and radio and television listings ( program schedules ) . As of 2017 , newspapers may also provide information about new movies and TV shows available on streaming video services like Netflix . Newspapers have classified ad sections where people and businesses can buy small advertisements to sell goods or services ; as of 2013 , the huge increase in Internet websites for selling goods , such as Craigslist and eBay has led to significantly less classified ad sales for newspapers .   Most newspapers are businesses , and they pay their expenses with a mixture of subscription revenue , newsstand sales , and advertising revenue ( other businesses or individuals pay to place advertisements in the pages , including display ads , classified ads , and their online equivalents ) . Some newspapers are government-run or at least government-funded ; their reliance on advertising revenue and on profitability is less critical to their survival . The editorial independence of a newspaper is thus always subject to the interest of someone , whether owners , advertisers , or a government . Some newspapers with high editorial independence , high journalism quality , and large circulation are viewed as newspapers of record .   Many newspapers , besides employing journalists on their own payrolls , also subscribe to news agencies ( wire services ) ( such as the Associated Press , Reuters , or Agence France-Presse ) , which employ journalists to find , assemble , and report the news , then sell the content to the various newspapers . This is a way to avoid duplicating the expense of reporting from around the world . Circa 2005 , there were approximately 6,580 daily newspaper titles in the world selling 395 million print copies a day ( in the U.S. , 1,450 titles selling 55 million copies ) . The late 2000s -- early 2010s global recession , combined with the rapid growth of free web-based alternatives , has helped cause a decline in advertising and circulation , as many papers had to retrench operations to stanch the losses . Worldwide annual revenue approached $ 100 billion in 2005-7 , then plunged during the worldwide financial crisis of 2008-9 . Revenue in 2016 fell to only $ 53 billion , hurting every major publisher as their efforts to gain online income fell far short of the goal .   The decline in advertising revenues affected both the print and online media as well as all other mediums ; print advertising was once lucrative but has greatly declined , and the prices of online advertising are often lower than those of their print precursors . Besides remodeling advertising , the internet ( especially the web ) has also challenged the business models of the print-only era by crowdsourcing both publishing in general ( sharing information with others ) and , more specifically , journalism ( the work of finding , assembling , and reporting the news ) . In addition , the rise of news aggregators , which bundle linked articles from many online newspapers and other sources , influences the flow of web traffic . Increasing paywalling of online newspapers may be counteracting those effects . The oldest newspaper still published is the Ordinari Post Tijdender , which was established in Stockholm in 1645 .

neg: The Forecaster The Forecaster is a regional newspaper in southern Maine . It is published weekly and distributed for free . It publishes several different versions , including `` The Forecaster '' covering the city of Portland ; `` Northern Forecaster '' , which covers the towns north of Portland ( Falmouth , Cumberland , Yarmouth , North Yarmouth , and Freeport ; the `` Southern Forecaster '' , which covers the towns south of Portland ( South Portland , Cape Elizabeth , and Scarborough ) ; and a `` Mid-Coast '' edition which covers towns farther east along the coast , including Brunswick , Topsham , Harpswell and Bath . It is owned by the Sun Media Group .

neg: Digital Collections Selection Criteria Digital Collections Selection Criteria are applied by organisations ( typically libraries ) creating a digital library which of their existing holdings and forthcoming acquisitions to digitize for inclusion .   A strategy with defined selection priorities for digitization is critical , and should consider both preservation and access . factors to consider are :  the value of materials ;  the condition of materials ;  use of materials ; and  material characteristics ensuring a high level of success .   For the Library of Congress , items of national interest were prime candidates both to improve access and reduce wear and tear on the physical copies .   In the early discussions about digitization of library materials the selection decisions were often proposed based on a desire for better access to that item 's content , and not on the condition or value of the original item . In 2001 , Paula De Stefano wrote that a use-based group of criteria was promising , as it is `` fundamental to collection development and is the common thread in all selection decisions '' . In practice , however , her study showed that most digital projects focused on special collections , which are generally not the most popular items in the overall collection .   The persistent risk of disappearing `` last copies '' . and the declines seen in the condition of national treasures , as exemplified by the 2005 Heritage Health Index Report on the State of America 's Collections provide the rationale for establishing priorities and balancing access with preservation needs . The transient nature of electronic information can contribute to a phenomenon called `` memory loss . '' This is a result of data extinctions as technologies become obsolete . There is also a drift away from original bibliographic contexts as time passes .   A 1998 Council on Library and Information Sources white paper identified the following comprehensive considerations for selection :  assessment of the intellectual and physical nature of the source materials ;  the number and location of current and potential users ;  the current and potential nature of use ;  the format and nature of the proposed digital product and how it will be described , delivered , and archived ;  how the proposed product relates to other digitization efforts ; and  projections of costs in relation to benefits .

neg: Surveillance Surveillance ( -LSB- sərˈveɪ.əns -RSB- or -LSB- sərˈveɪləns -RSB- ) is the monitoring of behavior , activities , or other changing information for the purpose of influencing , managing , directing , or protecting people . This can include observation from a distance by means of electronic equipment ( such as closed-circuit television ( CCTV ) cameras ) or interception of electronically transmitted information ( such as Internet traffic or phone calls ) . It can also include simple no - or relatively low-technology methods such as human intelligence agents and postal interception . The word surveillance comes from a French phrase for `` watching over '' ( sur means `` from above '' and veiller means `` to watch '' ) and is in contrast to more recent developments such as sousveillance .   Surveillance is used by governments for intelligence gathering , prevention of crime , the protection of a process , person , group or object , or the investigation of crime . It is also used by criminal organizations to plan and commit crimes , such as robbery and kidnapping , by businesses to gather intelligence , and by private investigators .   Surveillance is often a violation of privacy , and it is often opposed by various civil liberties groups and activists . Liberal democracies have laws which restrict domestic government and private use of surveillance , usually limiting it to circumstances where public safety is at risk . Authoritarian government seldom have any domestic restrictions , and international espionage is common among all types of countries .

neg: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review , also known as `` the Trib , '' was the second largest daily printed newspaper serving metropolitan Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , in the United States until it transitioned to an all digital format on December 1 , 2016 . Founded on August 22 , 1811 as the Greensburg Gazette and in 1889 consolidated with several papers into the Greensburg Tribune-Review , the paper circulated only in the eastern suburban counties of Westmoreland and parts of Indiana and Fayette until May 1992 , when it began serving all of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area after a strike at the two Pittsburgh dailies , the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Pittsburgh Press , deprived the city of a newspaper for several months .   The Tribune-Review Publishing Company was owned by Richard Mellon Scaife , an heir to the Mellon banking , oil , and aluminum fortune , until his death in July 2014 . Scaife was a major funder of conservative organizations , including the Arkansas Project . Accordingly , the Tribune-Review has maintained a conservative editorial stance , contrasting with the more liberal Post-Gazette . In addition to its flagship paper , the company publishes 17 weekly community newspapers , the Pittsburgh Pennysaver , as well as TribLive.com and TribTotalMedia.com .

neg: Retention period The retention period of information is an aspect of records and information management ( RIM ) and the records life cycle . It identifies the duration of time for which the information should be maintained or `` retained '' , irrespective of format ( paper , electronic , or other ) . Retention periods vary on different types of information , based on content and a variety of other factors including : internal organizational need , regulatory requirements for inspection or audit , legal statutes of limitation , involvement in litigation , taxation and financial reporting needs , as well as other factors as defined by local , regional , state , national and/or international governing entities .   Once an applicable retention period has elapsed for a given type or series of information , and all holds/moratoriums have been released , the information is typically destroyed using an approved and effective destruction method , which renders the information completely and irreversibly unusable via any means . Information with historical value beyond its `` usable value '' may be accessioned to the custody of an archive organization for permanent or extended long-term preservation .

neg: Information–action ratio The information -- action ratio was a concept coined by cultural critic Neil Postman ( 1931 -- 2003 ) in his work Amusing Ourselves to Death . In short , Postman meant to indicate the relationship between a piece of information and what action , if any , a consumer of that information might reasonably be expected to take once learning it .   In a speech to the German Informatics Society ( Gesellschaft für Informatik ) on October 11 , 1990 in Stuttgart , sponsored by IBM-Germany , Postman said the following : `` The tie between information and action has been severed . Information is now a commodity that can be bought and sold , or used as a form of entertainment , or worn like a garment to enhance one 's status . It comes indiscriminately , directed at no one in particular , disconnected from usefulness ; we are glutted with information , drowning in information , have no control over it , do n't know what to do with it . ''   In Amusing Ourselves to Death Postman frames the information-action ratio in the context of the telegraph 's invention . Prior to the telegraph , Postman says people received information relevant to their lives , creating a high correlation between information and action : `` The information-action ratio was sufficiently close so that most people had a sense of being able to control some of the contingencies in their lives '' ( p. 69 ) .   The telegraph allowed bits of information to travel long distances , and so Postman claims `` the local and the timeless ... lost their central position in newspapers , eclipsed by the dazzle of distance and speed ... Wars , crimes , crashes , fires , floods -- much of it the social and political equivalent of Adelaide 's whooping coughs -- became the content of what people called ` the news of the day ' '' ( pp. 66 -- 67 ) .   A low information-action ratio , therefore , refers to the helplessness people confront when faced with decontextualized information . Someone may know Adelaide has the whooping cough , but what could anyone do about it ? Postman said that this kind of access to decontextualized information `` made the relationship between information and action both abstract and remote . '' Information consumers were `` faced with the problem of a diminished social and political potency . ''

neg: Preventive journalism Preventive journalism is a journalistic discipline that reports on urgent social problems at an early stage and on solutions proposed for these problems . It complements traditional investigative journalism and recognizes that journalism can alert government and society to problems before they become crises .   Michael O'Neill , editor of the New York Daily News from 1975 to 1982 and former president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors , wrote in 1985 that preventive journalism should `` search in advance for the hidden forces of change -LSB- and -RSB- try to identify the underlying causes of crises before , rather than after , they explode so that an alerted society might have time to protect itself from the ambushes of history . ''   The concept was also used in a 1996 Kofi Annan speech 1 where he stressed the need for such a kind of journalism without further detailing its characteristics .   Peace Journalism follows similar tenets as preventive journalism , though preventive journalism extends its action range to social , economic , institutional , human rights , and environmental concerns .

neg: Cornell Paper A Preliminary Analysis of the October 1 , 1965 , Coup in Indonesia , more commonly known as the `` Cornell Paper '' , is an academic publication detailing the events of an abortive coup d'état attempt by the self-proclaimed September 30 Movement , produced on January 10 , 1966 . The study was written by Benedict Anderson and Ruth McVey , with the help of Frederick Bunnell , using information from various Indonesian news sources . At the time of writing , the three were members of Cornell University 's network of graduate students and scholars on Southeast Asia .   In their work , Anderson and McVey theorized that neither the Communist Party of Indonesia ( PKI ) nor President Sukarno took part in organizing the operation ; instead , they became the victims . On the basis of the material available , they proposed that the coup was indeed an `` internal Army affair '' as was claimed by the September 30 Movement to remove members of the Indonesian Army General Staff who allegedly worked with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency . By the end of the following week , the movement had been crushed by forces of Major General Suharto , who was charged with the sole responsibility of restoring order . Several alternatives to their theory were also presented and disputed , including the official government account that the PKI had masterminded the coup attempt .   Although the paper was intended to be kept confidential , information on its existence was eventually leaked in a March 5 , 1966 , article by The Washington Post journalist Joseph Kraft . Cornell turned down requests to access the paper , and its contents became subject to misinterpretation and forgery . Requests made to the Indonesian government to supplement the study with additional documents pertaining to the incident were not fulfilled , and the paper was finally published in 1971 without any additional material . Since its publication , the `` Cornell Paper '' has been subject to further analysis and revision .

neg: Newspapers in the United States Newspapers in the United States have been published since the 18th century and are an integral part of the culture of the United States . Although a few newspapers including the New York Times , USA Today , and the Wall Street Journal are sold throughout the United States , most U.S. newspapers are published for city or regional markets . The New York Times is often referred to as the United States ' `` newspaper of record '' .

neg: Metropolis Daily Metropolis Daily is the Hong Kong edition of Metro ( Metro International ) , which publishes free newspapers around the world with 25 editions in 16 countries in 14 languages .

The paper attracts a younger generation of readers with a great purchasing power likewise , therefore many advertisers are interested in promoting their products on Metropolis Daily . The operating costs of the paper are mainly covered by the classified advertisements in the newspaper .   However , the influence of the paper is not yet significant . Though around one tenth size of other newspapers printing local first-hand news reported by fresh journalists , its main news sources are actually the television , radio news , press releases and wired news .

neg: Southern California InFocus Southern California InFocus is a free monthly tabloid-format newspaper serving the Muslim community in Southern California . Its offices are in Anaheim .   InFocus was started in Anaheim , California on February 4 , 2005 . It is the largest Muslim newspaper in Southern California . Asma Ahmad , a Pakistani Canadian citizen who grew up in Saudi Arabia attending American-run schools and formerly edited the national newsletter of the Muslim Students Association , is the paper 's managing editor and only full-timer staffer . Its deputy editor is Muneer Adhami .   The Council on American Islamic Relations financially subsidizes and provides office space for the newspaper , but the managing editor states that the paper is `` editorially independent from CAIR '' . 20,000 copies of the paper are printed monthly ; 500 copies are mailed to paid subscribers and the remainder are distributed free through Muslim-owned businesses and mosques in Southern California .   The paper `` covers a large variety of local , national , and international events , features , profiles , and has the following sections : arts , book review , restaurant review , Islam , money , legal , kids , travel , interfaith , commentary , and opinion . ''   The paper describes its mission as :   '' ... serving to document the rich history of Muslims in the Southland -- past and present . Through feature stories , mosque profiles , interviews of individuals who have made a difference , and in-depth coverage of news stories affecting Muslims , InFocus is the first localized effort in Southern California to record the American Muslim experience . For American Muslims , it is a platform which brings forth issues of their concern . For the larger community , it is a window into the Muslim world right here in California '' .   Managing editor Ahmad describes the paper as , `` an Islamic newspaper but not a publication about Islam , '' and says she wants , `` In Focus to concentrate on issues important to Muslims , such as civil rights and discrimination , which she says are largely ignored by the mainstream media in the post-Sept . 11 world . '' Ahmad said the community is committed to democracy . An editorial in the March issue offered qualified support for President Bush 's Middle East policy and called for the democratization of Arab countries , urging Muslims to turn the `` breeze of democracy into an unstoppable wind . '' More than anything , Ahmad said , she wants the newspaper to pull American Muslims into the mainstream . `` We can keep our religion and not have an isolationist approach . We can do this in America , '' she said .

neg: Portland Observer (Oregon) The Portland Observer is one of the oldest African-American newspapers in the U.S. state of Oregon . Established in 1970 , it is published weekly ( on Wednesdays ) , in Portland , Oregon .   Rev. Alfred L. Henderson founded the paper in the 1970s , in the tradition of the People 's Observer , a 1940s publication that had ceased publication in 1950 . ( That paper also originally went by the name of `` Portland Observer . '' ) Joyce Washington was the publisher from the mid-1980s until her death in 1996 . Her son Charles Washington , a Portland native and a graduate of Jefferson High School , then took over as publisher , and he died in December 2012 . Portland politician , radio host , restauranteur , and veteran Bruce Broussard has held a leadership position at the paper .

neg: Mass communication Mass communication is the study of how people exchange information through mass media to large segments of the population at the same time . In other words , mass communication refers to the imparting and exchanging of information on a large scale to a wide range of people . It is usually understood to relate newspaper , magazine , and book publishing , as well as radio , television and film , even via internet as these mediums are used for disseminating information , news and advertising . Mass communication differs from the studies of other forms of communication , such as interpersonal communication or organizational communication , in that it focuses on a single source transmitting information to a large number of receivers . The study of mass communication is chiefly concerned with how the content of mass communication persuades or otherwise affects the behavior , attitude , opinion , or emotion of the person or people receiving the information .

neg: Business reporting Business reporting or enterprise reporting is `` the public reporting of operating and financial data by a business enterprise , '' or `` the regular provision of information to decision-makers within an organisation to support them in their work . ''   Reporting is a fundamental part of the larger movement towards improved business intelligence and knowledge management . Often implementation involves extract , transform , and load ( ETL ) procedures in coordination with a data warehouse and then using one or more reporting tools . While reports can be distributed in print form or via email , they are typically accessed via a corporate intranet .   With the dramatic expansion of information technology , and the desire for increased competitiveness in corporations , there has been an increase in the use of computing power to produce unified reports which join different views of the enterprise in one place . This reporting process involves querying data sources with different logical models to produce a human readable report -- for example , a computer user has to query the Human Resources databases and the Capital Improvements databases to show how efficiently space is being used across an entire corporation .   Reporting can be used in another mean for verification and cross-checks . Audit teams like FINRA and SEC adhere to reports for all business firms . Standard Business Reporting is is a group of international programs instigated by a number of governments with the end of make business the centre when it comes to managing business-to-government reporting obligations . *

neg: Compact (newspaper) A compact newspaper is a broadsheet-quality newspaper printed in a tabloid format ( slightly taller ) , especially one in the United Kingdom . The term as used for this size ( not to be confused with 108 × 171 mm or 4.25 × 6.75 inches paper sizes ) came into its current use when The Independent began producing a smaller format edition for London 's commuters , designed to be easier to read when using mass transit .   Readers from other parts of the country liked the new format , with the result that The Independent introduced it nationally . The Times and The Scotsman copied the format as The Independent increased sales . All three newspapers are now printed exclusively in compact format following trial periods during which both broadsheet and compact version were produced simultaneously .   The term `` compact '' was coined in the 1970s by the Daily Mail when that newspaper went tabloid , although the Mail now calls itself a tabloid . It is often used to differentiate newspapers with more traditional content from those with a flamboyant or salacious publishing style , even though they may share the same size . The functional opposite of compact is red top , as the nameplates of British sensationalist tabloids tend to be red .

neg: History of journalism in the United Kingdom The history of journalism in the United Kingdom includes the gathering and transmitting of news , spans the growth of technology and trade , marked by the advent of specialized techniques for gathering and disseminating information on a regular basis . In the analysis of historians , it involves the steady increase of  the scope of news available to us and the speed with which it is transmitted .   Newspapers have always been the primary medium of journalists since 1700 , with magazines added in the 18th century , radio and television in the 20th century , and the Internet in the 21st century . London has always been the main center of British journalism , followed at a distance by Edinburgh , Belfast , Dublin , and regional cities .

neg: National Digital Newspaper Program The National Digital Newspaper Program is a joint project between the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress to create and maintain a publicly available , online digital archive of historically significant newspapers published in the United States between 1836 and 1922 . Additionally , the program will make available bibliographic records and holdings information for some 140,000 newspaper titles from the 17th century to the present . Further , it will include scope notes and encyclopedia-style entries discussing the historical significance of specific newspapers . Added content will also include contextually relevant historical information . `` One organization within each U.S. state or territory will receive an award to collaborate with relevant state partners in this effort . '' In March 2007 more than 226,000 pages of newspapers from California , Florida , Kentucky , New York , Utah , Virginia and the District of Columbia published between 1900 and 1910 were put online at a fully searchable site called `` Chronicling America . '' As of December 2007 , the total number of pages is about 413,000 . This further expanded to be 1 million pages in 2009 . Funding through the National Endowment for the Humanities is carried out through their `` We The People '' initiative .

neg: Philadelphia Bulletin For the 2004 resurrection of the Bulletin , see The Bulletin ( newspaper ) .   The Philadelphia Bulletin was a daily evening newspaper published from 1847 to 1982 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . It was the largest circulation newspaper in Philadelphia for 76 years and was once the largest evening newspaper in the United States . Its widely known slogan was : `` In Philadelphia , nearly everybody reads The Bulletin . ''   Describing the Bulletin 's style , publisher William L. McLean once said : `` I think the Bulletin operates on a principle which in the long run is unbeatable . This is that it enters the reader 's home as a guest . Therefore , it should behave as a guest , telling the news rather than shouting it . '' As Time magazine later noted : `` In its news columns , the Bulletin was solid if unspectacular . Local affairs were covered extensively , but politely . Muckraking was frowned upon . ''

neg: Encyclopedia An encyclopedia or encyclopaedia is a reference work or compendium providing a comprehensive summary of information from either all branches of knowledge or from a particular field or discipline .  Encyclopedias are divided into articles or entries that are often arranged alphabetically by article name and sometimes by thematic categories . Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries . Generally speaking , unlike dictionary entries which focus on linguistic information about words , such as their meaning , pronunciation , use , and grammatical forms , encyclopedia articles focus on factual information concerning the subject named in the article 's title .   Encyclopedias have existed for around 2,000 years and have evolved considerably since that time as to language ( written in a major international or a vernacular language ) , size ( few or many volumes ) , intent ( presentation of a global or a limited range of knowledge ) , cultural perceptions ( authoritative , ideological , didactic , utilitarian ) , authorship ( qualifications , style ) , readership ( education level , background , interests , capabilities ) , and the technologies available for their production and distribution ( hand-written manuscripts , small or large print runs , internet production ) . As a valued source of reliable information compiled by experts , printed versions found a prominent place in libraries , schools and other educational institutions .   The appearance of digital and open-source versions in the 20th century has vastly expanded the accessibility , authorship , readership , and variety of encyclopedia entries and called into question the idea of what an encyclopedia is and the relevance of applying to such dynamic productions the traditional criteria for assembling and evaluating print encyclopedias .

neg: Dallas Dispatch The Dallas Dispatch was a daily evening newspaper published in Dallas , Texas ( USA ) from 1906 until it was combined with the evening Dallas Journal in 1938 to create The Dallas Dispatch-Journal , the name of which was shortened to The Dallas Journal in 1939 and which ceased publication in 1942 .   The Dispatch began publication on September 17 , 1906 with a four-page issue . ( It presumably was not related to an earlier Dallas Dispatch , which had gone out of business in July 1894 . ) The paper was owned by the Scripps-McRae Association . Alfred O. Andersson was its first editor and H. J. Richmond its first business manager .   Andersson was its publisher for most of the newspaper 's existence , and Lewis W. Bailey was its editor for many years . Andersson retired as publisher in March 1937 without relinquishing his ownership interest , and in June 1938 he formed The Dispatch-Journal Publishing Company with Karl Hoblitzelle and John Moroney to acquire the Dispatch and another evening newspaper , The Dallas Journal , which had been a sister publication of The Dallas Morning News . The resulting Dallas Dispatch-Journal was published six evenings a week with no Sunday edition . The Dispatch lived on as part of the new publication 's name until December 1939 , when James M. West , Sr. of Houston acquired control and shortened the name to The Dallas Journal .   The Dispatch campaigned for an emergency hospital , the cleaning up of criminal law enforcement , and new franchises for city utilities . It gave more attention to crime news than did its competition and `` probably set some kind of record with extra editions . '' It was said that it would `` print anything a reporter was big enough to sign his name to , '' and that that once included using `` ass '' ( referring to a donkey ) in a headline , turning that edition into a collector 's item .   Dispatch employees included James F. Chambers , Jr. , a sports and crime reporter who became president and publisher of The Dallas Times-Herald , and Ralph Hall , who served in the Texas Senate and is now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives .


query: Pregnancy symptoms include various ailments.

pos: Pregnancy Pregnancy , also known as gestation , is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman . A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring , such as with twins . Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology . Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period ( LMP ) . This is just over nine lunar months , where each month is about 29 1/2 days . When measured from conception it is about 38 weeks . An embryo is the developing offspring during the first eight weeks following conception , after which , the term fetus is used until birth . Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods , tender breasts , nausea and vomiting , hunger , and frequent urination . Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test .   Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters . The first trimester is from week one through 12 and includes conception . Conception is when the sperm fertilizes the egg . The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube and attaches to the inside of the uterus , where it begins to form the embryo and placenta . The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage ( natural death of embryo or fetus ) . The second trimester is from week 13 through 28 . Around the middle of the second trimester , movement of the fetus may be felt . At 28 weeks , more than 90 % of babies can survive outside of the uterus if provided with high-quality medical care . The third trimester is from 29 weeks through 40 weeks .   Prenatal care improves pregnancy outcomes . Prenatal care may include taking extra folic acid , avoiding drugs and alcohol , regular exercise , blood tests , and regular physical examinations . Complications of pregnancy may include high blood pressure of pregnancy , gestational diabetes , iron-deficiency anemia , and severe nausea and vomiting among others . Term pregnancy is 37 to 41 weeks , with early term being 37 and 38 weeks , full term 39 and 40 weeks , and late term 41 weeks . After 41 weeks , it is known as post term . Babies born before 37 weeks are preterm and are at higher risk of health problems such as cerebral palsy . Delivery before 39 weeks by labor induction or caesarean section is not recommended unless required for other medical reasons .   About 213 million pregnancies occurred in 2012 , of which , 190 million were in the developing world and 23 million were in the developed world . The number of pregnancies in women ages 15 to 44 is 133 per 1,000 women . About 10 % to 15 % of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage . In 2013 , complications of pregnancy resulted in 293,000 deaths , down from 377,000 deaths in 1990 . Common causes include maternal bleeding , complications of abortion , high blood pressure of pregnancy , maternal sepsis , and obstructed labor . Globally , 40 % of pregnancies are unplanned . Half of unplanned pregnancies are aborted . Among unintended pregnancies in the United States , 60 % of the women used birth control to some extent during the month pregnancy occurred .

neg: Gestational thrombocytopenia Gestational ( incidental ) thrombocytopenia is a condition that commonly affects pregnant women . Thrombocytopenia is defined as the drop in platelet count from the normal range of 150,000 -- 400,000 / μL to a count lower than 150,000 / μL . There is still ongoing research to determine the reason for the lowering of platelet count in women with a normal pregnancy . Some researchers speculate the cause to be dependent on dilution , decreased production of platelets , or an increased turnover event . Although women with normal pregnancy experience a low platelet count , women experiencing a continuous drop in platelet will be diagnosed with thrombocytopenia and women with levels greater than 70,000 / μL will be diagnosed with gestational thrombocytopenia .   Thrombocytopenia affects approximately 7-10 % of pregnant women and of the 7-10 % , within that population ; approximately 70-80 % have gestational thrombocytopenia   Gestational Thrombocytopenia is a disorder similar to immune thrombocytopenia ( ITP ) and is difficult to differentiate between the two disorders . Therefore , a medical history is conducted to because a diagnostic test is unavailable .

neg: List of women who died in childbirth This is a list of notable women , either famous themselves or closely associated with someone well known , who suffered maternal death as defined by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) :   `` the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy , irrespective of the duration and site of the pregnancy , from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management but not from accidental or incidental causes . ''   Note that this wording includes abortion , miscarriage , stillbirth , and ectopic pregnancy . Generally , there is a distinction between a direct maternal death that is the result of a complication of the pregnancy , delivery , or management of the two , and an indirect maternal death that is a pregnancy-related death in a woman with a pre-existing or newly developed health problem unrelated to pregnancy . Fatalities during but unrelated to a pregnancy are termed accidental , incidental , or non-obstetrical maternal deaths .   However , the WHO definition is only one of many ; other definitions may include accidental and incidental causes . Cases with `` incidental causes '' include deaths secondary to violence against women that may be related to the pregnancy and be affected by the socioeconomic and cultural environment . Also , it has been reported that about 10 % of maternal deaths may occur late , that is after 42 days after a termination or delivery ; thus , some definitions extend the period of observation to one year after the end of gestation .

neg: Uterine prolapse Uterine prolapse is a form of female genital prolapse . It is also called pelvic organ prolapse or prolapse of the uterus ( womb ) .   Risk factors for uterine prolapse include pregnancy , childbirth , chronic increases in intra-abdominal pressure such as lifting , coughing or straining , connective tissue conditions , and damage to or weakness of the muscles .   Treatment may be conservative or surgical and should be based upon patient symptoms and preference .

neg: Nausea Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the upper stomach with an involuntary urge to vomit . It may precede vomiting , but a person can have nausea without vomiting . When prolonged , it is a debilitating symptom .   Nausea is a non-specific symptom , which means that it has many possible causes . Some common causes of nausea are motion sickness , dizziness , migraine , fainting , low blood sugar , gastroenteritis ( stomach infection ) or food poisoning . Nausea is a side effect of many medications including chemotherapy , or morning sickness in early pregnancy . Nausea may also be caused by anxiety , disgust and depression .   Medications taken to prevent and treat nausea are called antiemetics . The most commonly prescribed antiemetics in the US are promethazine , metoclopramide and ondansetron . The word nausea is from Latin nausea , from Greek ναυσία -- nausia , '' ναυτία '' -- nautia , motion sickness '' , `` feeling sick or queasy '' .

neg: Obstetric fistula Obstetric fistula is a medical condition in which a fistula ( hole ) develops between either the rectum and vagina ( see rectovaginal fistula ) , a ureter and the vagina , or between the bladder and vagina ( see vesicovaginal fistula ) after prolonged , severe or failed childbirth . Though uncommon where emergency care is available for women in labor , it is more prevalent when adequate medical care is not available . It results in incontinence . The United Nations Population Fund ( UNFPA ) defines obstetric fistula as ,   `` A childbirth injury that has been largely neglected , despite the devastating impact it has on the lives of affected girls and women . It is usually caused by prolonged , obstructed labour , without timely medical intervention -- typically an emergency Caesarean section . During unassisted , prolonged , obstructed labour , the sustained pressure of the baby 's head on the mother 's pelvic bone damages soft tissues , creating a hole -- or fistula -- between the vagina and the bladder and/or rectum . The pressure deprives blood flow to the tissue , leading to necrosis . Eventually , the dead tissue comes away , leaving a fistula , which causes a constant leaking of urine and/or faeces through the vagina . ''   It is considered a disease of poverty or injury because of its tendency to occur in women in poor countries who do not have access to adequate obstetrics care .8 An estimated 2 million women in sub-Saharan Africa , Asia , the Arab region , and Latin America and the Caribbean are living with this injury , and some 50,000 to 100,000 new cases develop each year .   In developed countries , the majority of women with OF suffer rectovaginal fistula ( RVF ) . This injury is associated with episiotomy and forceps/vacuum extraction of the baby from the vagina . Over 80 % of RVFs in the USA are obstetric and either preventable or treatable , followed in frequency by Crohn 's disease and radiation .   An obstetric fistula is almost entirely preventable . According to health advocates , its persistence is a sign that health systems are failing to meet women 's essential needs .

neg: Pregnancy in art Pregnancy in art covers any artistic work that portrays pregnancy in women . In art as in life , it is often unclear whether an actual state of pregnancy is intended to be shown . A common visual indication is the gesture of the woman placing a protective open hand on her abdomen . Historically , married women were at some stage of pregnancy for much of their life until the menopause , but the depiction of this in art is relatively uncommon , and generally restricted to some specific contexts . This probably persists even in contemporary culture ; despite several recent artworks depicting heavily pregnant women , one writer was `` astonished at the shortage of visual images ... of pregnant women in public visual culture '' . A research study conducted by Pierre Bourdieu in 1963 found that the great majority of 693 French subjects thought that a photo of a pregnant woman could not , by definition , be beautiful .   There are two subjects often depicted in Western narrative art , or history painting , where pregnancy is an important part of the story . These are the unhappy scene usually called Diana and Callisto , showing the moment of discovery of Callisto 's forbidden pregnancy , and the biblical scene of the Visitation . Gradually , portraits of pregnant women began to appear , with a particular fashion for `` pregnancy portraits '' in elite portraiture of the years around 1600 .   As well as being a subject for depiction in art , pregnant women were also consumers of art , with some special types of work developed for them , including Madonna del Parto images of Mary .

neg: Maternal health in Angola Maternal health in Angola is a very complicated issue . In the Sub-Saharan region of Africa where Angola is located , poor maternal health has been an ongoing problem contributing to the decreased level of health in the population in the early 21st century .   According to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy , childbirth , and the postpartum period . Maternal health is an important factor in determining the status of health in all countries as the health of newborns , which depends on the health of the mother , has an effect on the developmental stages of each individual . In Angola , maternal health is affected by many different factors , including the country 's history , economic state , and overall prevalence of infectious diseases .   The WHO lists the leading causes of maternal death as severe bleeding , infections , high blood pressure during pregnancy , obstructed labor , and unsafe abortions . These causes compose approximately 80 percent of all maternal mortalities worldwide with the vast majority occurring in developing countries . The other remaining factors that contribute to maternal death include malaria , anemia , and HIV/AIDS during pregnancy . The WHO also states that the reasons why so many women die during childbirth are usually poverty , long distance to care , lack of information , inadequate service , and cultural practices . All of these causes of maternal death , and the corresponding reasons , are very familiar among women in Angola .

neg: Breastfeeding in public Breastfeeding in public is the practice of breastfeeding babies in a public or semi-public place in open view of the general public . Social attitudes and legal protection of the practice varies widely . In many countries , both in the Global South and in a number of Western countries , breastfeeding in public is common and generally not regarded as an issue . In those countries , laws protect the nursing mother . In many parts of the world including Australia , some parts of the United States , and Europe , along with some countries in Asia , women have an express legal right to nurse in public and in the workplace . A few countries , such as Saudi Arabia , expressly forbid women to expose their breasts in public , even to breastfeed .   Even though the practice may be legal or socially accepted , some mothers may nevertheless be reluctant to expose a breast in public to breastfeed due to actual or potential objections by other people , negative comments , or harassment . It is estimated that around 63 % of mothers across the world have publicly breast-fed . The media have reported a number of incidents in which workers or members of the public have objected to or forbidden women breastfeeding . Some mothers avoid the negative attention and choose to move to another location . But some mothers have protested their treatment , and if the practice is permitted by law , have taken legal action or engaged in protests . Protests have included a public boycott of the offenders business , organizing a `` nurse-in '' or a breastfeeding flash mob , in which groups of nursing mothers gather at the location where the complaint originated and nursed their babies at the same time . In response , some companies have apologised and agreed to train their employees .

neg: Synactive Theory of Newborn Behavioral Organization and Development The Synactive Theory of Newborn Behavioral Organization and Development ( Synaction n. , or Synactive adj. -LSB- from the Greek syn `` together '' and the Latin actio `` action , '' resulting in : `` together in action '' -RSB- ) suggests that development of the human fetus , and later newborn , proceeds through the constant balancing of approach and avoidance behaviors , leading to : 1 ) a continuous interaction of the subsystems ( i.e. , Autonomic , Motor , State and Attention/Interaction , and Regulatory ) and their increasingly defined delineations within the organism , that is the infant , and 2 ) the organism 's interaction with the environment at large . This process is aimed at bringing about the increasingly well-defined species-unique developmental agenda .   Figure 1 ( below ) , provides a graphic representation of the Synactive Theory of development , as applied to both fetal and newborn stages . It focuses upon the infant 's within-organism , four subsystems of functioning , and their continuous interaction with each other and with the environment across time ( i.e. , `` together in action , '' or synaction ) . The four subsystems include the :   Autonomic Subsystem : Expressed in the pattern of respiration ( e.g. , fast , slow , pauses ) color changes ( e.g. , pink , pale , red ) , neurological indicators ( e.g. , seizures , tremulousness ) , and visceral or gut signals such as bowel movements , gagging , and hiccoughing ;   Motor Subsystem : Observable through the tone , posture and movement patterns of the infant ;   State and Attention/Interaction Subsystem : Expressed via : 1 ) the range of states available to the infant ( i.e. , deep sleep , light sleep , drowsy , alert , hyperalert , and cry ) , 2 ) how clearly it is to observably differentiate one state from the other , and 3 ) the patterns of transitions from one state to another ( e.g. , smooth well-differentiated state transitions versus abrupt unorganized state transitions ) .   The attention/interaction system is set within this state continuum ( i.e. , from deep sleep to cry ) and represented by the infant 's ability to adjust the robustness and increasing refinement of an alert , attentive state . The infant uses this state to take in cognitive and social information from the environment as well as to bring forth and modify inputs from the surrounding world ; and   Regulatory Subsystem : Behaviorally represented via the observable strategies the infant uses ( Self-Regulation ) in maintaining a balanced , relatively stable and relaxed state of subsystem of functioning or in returning to this a state of subsystem functioning if imbalance , or stress has occurred within the subsystems .   An additional component of the regulatory subsystem is observable in the kind and amount of support offered by the caregiver ( e.g. , supporting a soft , tucked , flexed position of the infant 's arms and legs ) or by the environment ( e.g. , dimming the lights in the nursery ) . This Co-Regulation may be necessary to help the infant 's return to balance in situations when his/her own self-regulatory capacities are exceeded .   Reproduced with permission from Als , H. Toward a synactive theory of development : Promise for the assessment of infant individuality . Infant Mental Health Journal . 1982 : ( 3 ) : 229-243 ; p. 234 .   The graphic representation of the Synactive Theory above depicts the developing organism , that is , the infant , in constant interaction with the environment from within the womb to the newborn intensive care unit ( NICU ) , and the caregiving family 's support in the NICU , to the family in their home . Newborn infants are actively striving for their next steps in development , while depending upon `` good enough '' environments and care to assure progress along their developmental agenda .   The Synactive Theory of Development continues to be instrumental in guiding clinicians ( e.g. , neonatologist , nurses , psychologists , developmental specialists , physical/occupational therapists , etc. ) and researchers in their understanding of the often very small steps in development that prematurely born and other high risk newborns attempt to accomplish ( which are major steps for their immature or injured brain ) . This theory gives professionals the framework and tools with which to identify the infant 's strengths , challenges and accomplishments . Such accomplishments may include breathing , sucking and swallowing in a coordinated sequence ; moving food down into and through the stomach and intestinal track instead of upwards , leading to reflux and vomiting ; looking at the caregiver and breathing at the same time , as well as many others .   The Synactive Theory is the foundation of both : 1 ) the Assessment of Preterm Infants ' Behavior ( APIB ) , a standardized comprehensive newborn test , and 2 ) the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program ( NIDCAP ) , which is the care and intervention approach , that focuses on each infant 's behavioral cues ( e.g. , hand ( s ) to mouth , bracing with feet against a supporting surface ) in order to support the infant 's strengths and reduce the infant 's vulnerabilities . The infant 's family is viewed as the infant 's most important nurturer and is integrated in all care from the infant 's birth on throughout the infant 's hospitalization .

neg: Pertussis Pertussis ( also known as whooping cough or 100-day cough ) is a highly contagious bacterial disease . Initially , symptoms are usually similar to those of the common cold with a runny nose , fever , and mild cough . This is then followed by weeks of severe coughing fits . Following a fit of coughing , a high-pitched whoop sound or gasp may occur as the person breathes in . The coughing may last for 10 or more weeks , hence the phrase `` 100-day cough '' . A person may cough so hard that they vomit , break ribs , or become very tired from the effort . Children less than one year old may have little or no cough and instead have periods where they do not breathe . The time between infection and the onset of symptoms is usually seven to ten days . Disease may occur in those who have been vaccinated , but symptoms are typically milder .   Pertussis is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis . It is an airborne disease which spreads easily through the coughs and sneezes of an infected person . People are infectious to others from the start of symptoms until about three weeks into the coughing fits . Those treated with antibiotics are no longer infectious after five days . Diagnosis is by collecting a sample from the back of the nose and throat . This sample can then be tested by either culture or by polymerase chain reaction .   Prevention is mainly by vaccination with the pertussis vaccine . Initial immunization is recommended between six and eight weeks of age , with four doses to be given in the first two years of life . The vaccine becomes less effective over time , with additional doses often recommended for older children and adults . Antibiotics may be used to prevent the disease in those who have been exposed and are at risk of severe disease . In those with the disease , antibiotics are useful if started within three weeks of the initial symptoms , but otherwise have little effect in most people . In children less than one year old and among those who are pregnant , they are recommended within six weeks of symptom onset . Antibiotics used include erythromycin , azithromycin , clarithromycin , or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole . Evidence to support interventions , other than antibiotics , for the cough is poor . Many children less than a year of age require hospitalization .   An estimated 16.3 million people worldwide were infected in 2015 . Most cases occur in the developing world , and people of all ages may be affected . In 2015 , it resulted in 58,700 deaths -- down from 138,000 deaths in 1990 . Nearly 0.5 % of infected children less than one year of age die . Outbreaks of the disease were first described in the 16th century . The bacterium that causes the infection was discovered in 1906 . The pertussis vaccine became available in the 1940s .

neg: Pregnancy vegetarianism Pregnancy vegetarianism is the practice of adhering to a vegetarian diet during pregnancy . Vegetarianism is `` the principle or practice of excluding all meat and fish , and sometimes , in the case of vegans , all animal products ( such as eggs , milk , cheese , etc ) from one 's diet . '' Although some people frown upon pregnant women practicing vegetarianism , there is no evidence that vegetarianism -- practiced properly -- is unhealthful during pregnancy . There are millions of healthy babies born each year from vegetarian households .

neg: Hypochondriasis Hypochondriasis , also known as hypochondria , health anxiety or illness anxiety disorder , refers to worry about having a serious illness . This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition . An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac . Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect , no matter how minor the symptom may be , and are convinced that they have , or are about to be diagnosed with , a serious illness .   Often , hypochondria persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured them that their concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or , if there is a medical illness , their concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease . Many hypochondriacs focus on a particular symptom as the catalyst of their worrying , such as gastro-intestinal problems , palpitations , or muscle fatigue . To qualify for the diagnosis of hypochondria the symptoms must have been experienced for at least 6 months .   The DSM-IV-TR defines this disorder , `` Hypochondriasis '' , as a somatoform disorder and one study has shown it to affect about 3 % of the visitors to primary care settings . The newly published DSM-5 replaces the diagnosis of hypochondriasis with the diagnoses of `` somatic symptom disorder '' and `` illness anxiety disorder '' .   Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily or mental symptoms may indicate a serious illness , constant self-examination and self-diagnosis , and a preoccupation with one 's body . Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors ' diagnosis , and report that doctors ' reassurance about an absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing , or short-lasting . Additionally , many hypochondriacs experience elevated blood pressure , stress , and anxiety in the presence of doctors or while occupying a medical facility , a condition known as `` white coat syndrome '' . Many hypochondriacs require constant reassurance , either from doctors , family , or friends , and the disorder can become a disabling torment for the individual with hypochondriasis , as well as his or her family and friends . Some hypochondriacal individuals completely avoid any reminder of illness , whereas others frequently visit medical facilities , sometimes obsessively . Some sufferers may never speak about it .

neg: Postpartum depression Postpartum depression ( PPD ) , also called postnatal depression , is a type of clinical depression which can affect both sexes after childbirth . Symptoms may include sadness , low energy , changes in sleeping and eating patterns , reduced desire for sex , crying episodes , anxiety , and irritability . While many women experience self-limited , mild symptoms postpartum , postpartum depression should be suspected when symptoms are severe and have lasted over two weeks .   Although a number of risk factors have been identified , the causes of PPD are not well understood . Hormonal change is hypothesized to contribute as one cause of postpartum depression . The emotional effects of postpartum depression can include sleep deprivation , anxiety about parenthood and caring for an infant , identity crisis , a feeling of loss of control over life , and anxiety due to lack of support from a romantic or sexual partner . Many women recover with treatment such as a support group , counseling , or medication .   Between 0.5 % to 61 % of women will experience depression after delivery . Postpartum psychosis occurs in about 1 -- 2 per thousand women following childbirth . Among men , in particular new fathers , the incidence of postpartum depression has been estimated to be between 1 % and 25.5 % . In the United States , postpartum depression is one of the leading causes of the murder of children less than one year of age which occurs in about 8 per 100,000 births .

neg: Mental distress Mental distress ( or psychological distress ) is a term used , both by some mental health practitioners and users of mental health services , to describe a range of symptoms and experiences of a person 's internal life that are commonly held to be troubling , confusing or out of the ordinary .   Mental distress has a wider scope than the related term mental illness . Mental illness refers to a specific set of medically defined conditions . A person in mental distress may exhibit some of the symptoms described in psychiatry , such as : anxiety , confused emotions , hallucination , rage , depression and so on without actually being ` ill ' in a medical sense .   Life situations such as : bereavement , stress , lack of sleep , use of drugs or alcohol , assault , abuse or accident can induce mental distress . This may be something which resolves without further medical intervention , though people who endure such symptoms longer term are more likely to be diagnosed with mental illness . This definition is not without controversy as some mental health practitioners would use the terms mental distress and mental illness interchangeably .   Some users of mental health services prefer the term mental distress in describing their experience as they feel it better captures that sense of the unique and personal nature of their experience , while also making it easier to relate to , since everyone experiences distress at different times . The term also fits better with the social model of disability .

neg: Long-term effects of alcohol consumption The long-term effects of alcohol ( ethanol ) consumption range from cardioprotective health benefits for low to moderate alcohol consumption in industrialized societies with higher rates of cardiovascular disease to severe detrimental effects in cases of chronic alcohol abuse . Health effects associated with alcohol intake in large amounts include an increased risk of alcoholism , malnutrition , chronic pancreatitis , alcoholic liver disease , and cancer . In addition , damage to the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system can occur from chronic alcohol abuse . The long-term use of alcohol is capable of damaging nearly every organ and system in the body . The developing adolescent brain is particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of alcohol . In addition , the developing fetal brain is also vulnerable , and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders ( FASDs ) may result if pregnant mothers consume alcohol .   The inverse relation in Western cultures between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease has been known for over 100 years . Many physicians do not promote alcohol consumption , however , given the many health concerns associated with it , some suggest that alcohol should be regarded as a recreational drug , and promote exercise and good nutrition to combat cardiovascular disease . Others have argued that the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption may be outweighed by other increased risks , including those of injuries , violence , fetal damage , liver disease , and certain forms of cancer .   Withdrawal effects and dependence are also almost identical . Alcohol at moderate levels has some positive and negative effects on health . The negative effects include increased risk of liver diseases , oropharyngeal cancer , esophageal cancer and pancreatitis . Conversely moderate intake of alcohol may have some beneficial effects on gastritis and cholelithiasis . Of the total number of deaths and diseases caused by alcohol , most happen to the majority of the population who are moderate drinkers , rather than the heavy drinker minority . Chronic alcohol misuse and abuse has serious effects on physical and mental health . Chronic excess alcohol intake , or alcohol dependence , can lead to a wide range of neuropsychiatric or neurological impairment , cardiovascular disease , liver disease , and malignant neoplasms . The psychiatric disorders which are associated with alcoholism include major depression , dysthymia , mania , hypomania , panic disorder , phobias , generalized anxiety disorder , personality disorders , schizophrenia , suicide , neurologic deficits ( e.g. impairments of working memory , emotions , executive functions , visuospatial abilities and gait and balance ) and brain damage . Alcohol dependence is associated with hypertension , coronary heart disease , and ischemic stroke , cancer of the respiratory system , and also cancers of the digestive system , liver , breast and ovaries . Heavy drinking is associated with liver disease , such as cirrhosis . Excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on aging .   Recent studies have focused on understanding the mechanisms by which moderate alcohol consumption confers cardiovascular benefit .

neg: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis or chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome ( CP/CPPS ) is a pelvic pain condition in men , and should be distinguished from other forms of prostatitis such as chronic bacterial prostatitis and acute bacterial prostatitis . This condition was formerly known as prostatodynia ( painful prostate ) . CP/CPPS and interstitial cystitis are sometimes referred to jointly as `` UCPPS '' ( urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome ) .

neg: Recurrent miscarriage Recurrent miscarriage , habitual abortion , or recurrent pregnancy loss ( RPL ) is three or more consecutive pregnancy losses . Infertility differs because it is the inability to conceive . In many cases the cause of RPL is unknown . After three or more losses , a thorough evaluation is recommended by American Society of Reproductive Medicine . About 1 % of couples trying to have children are affected by recurrent miscarriage .

neg: Melasma Melasma ( also known as chloasma faciei , or the mask of pregnancy when present in pregnant women ) is a tan or dark skin discoloration . Although it can affect anyone , melasma is particularly common in women , especially pregnant women and those who are taking oral or patch contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy ( HRT ) medications .

neg: Irritable bowel syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ) is a group of symptoms -- including abdominal pain and changes in the pattern of bowel movements without any evidence of underlying damage . These symptoms occur over a long time , often years . It has been classified into four main types depending on if diarrhea is common , constipation is common , both are common , or neither occurs very often ( IBS-D , IBS-C , IBS-M , or IBS-U respectively ) . IBS negatively affects quality of life and may result in missed school or work . Disorders such as anxiety , major depression , and chronic fatigue syndrome are common among people with IBS .   The causes of IBS are not clear . Theories include gut -- brain axis problems , small intestinal bacterial overgrowth , genetic factors , food sensitivity , and gut motility problems . Onset may be triggered by an intestinal infection , or stressful life event . IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder . Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms in the absence of worrisome features . Worrisome features include onset at greater than 50 years of age , weight loss , blood in the stool , or a family history of inflammatory bowel disease . Other conditions that may present similarly include celiac disease , microscopic colitis , inflammatory bowel disease , bile acid malabsorption , and colon cancer .   There is no cure for IBS . Treatment is carried out to improve symptoms . This may include dietary changes , medication , probiotics , and counseling . Dietary measures include increasing soluble fiber intake , a gluten free diet , or a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides , disaccharides , monosaccharides , and polyols ( FODMAP ) . The medication loperamide may be used to help with diarrhea while laxatives may be used to help with constipation . Antidepressants may improve overall symptoms and pain . Patient education and a good doctor -- patient relationship are an important part of care .   About 10 to 15 % of people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS . It is more common in South America and less common in Southeast Asia . It is twice as common in women as men and typically occurs before age 45 . The condition appears to become less common with age . IBS does not affect life expectancy or lead to other serious diseases . The first description of the condition was in 1820 while the current term `` irritable bowel syndrome '' came into use in 1944 .

neg: Danger zone (food safety) The temperature range in which food-borne bacteria can grow is known as the danger zone . Food safety agencies , such as the United States ' Food Safety and Inspection Service ( FSIS ) , define the danger zone as roughly 4 to . The FSIS stipulates that potentially hazardous food should not be stored at temperatures in this range in order to prevent foodborne illness ( for example , a refrigerator 's temperature must be kept below 40 F ) , and that food that remains in this zone for more than two hours should not be consumed . Foodborne microorganisms grow much faster in the middle of the zone , at temperatures between 21 and .   Food-borne bacteria , in large enough numbers , may cause food poisoning , symptoms similar to gastroenteritis or `` stomach flu '' ( a misnomer , as true influenza primarily affects the respiratory system ) . Some of the symptoms include stomach cramps , nausea , vomiting , diarrhea , and fever . Food-borne illness becomes more dangerous in certain populations , such as people with weakened immune systems , young children , the elderly , and pregnant women . In Canada , there are approximately 11 million cases of food-borne disease per year . These symptoms can begin as early as shortly after and as late as weeks after consumption of the contaminated food .   Time and temperature control plays a critical role in food safety . To prevent time-temperature abuse , the amount of time food spends in the danger zone must be minimized . A logarithmic relationship exists between microbial cell death and temperature : a significantly large number of cells may survive slightly lower temperatures . In addition to reducing the time spent in the danger zone , foods should be moved through the danger zone as few times as possible when reheating or cooling .   Foods that are potentially hazardous inside the danger zone :  Meat : beef , poultry , pork , seafood  Eggs and other protein-rich foods  Dairy products  Cut or peeled fresh produce  Cooked vegetables , beans , rice , pasta  Sauces , such as gravy  Sprouts  Any foods containing the above , e.g. casseroles , salads , quiches

neg: Non-linear editing system Non-destructive editing is a form of audio , video or image editing where the original content is not modified in the course of editinginstead the edits themselves are specified and modified by specialized software . A pointer-based playlisteffectively an edit decision list ( EDL ) for video or a directed acyclic graph for still images is used to keep track of edits . Each time the edited audio , video , or image is rendered , played back , or accessed , it is reconstructed from the original source and the specified editing steps . Although this process is more computationally intensive than directly modifying the original content , changing the edits themselves can be almost instantaneous , and it prevents further generation loss as the audio , video , or image is edited .   A non-linear editing system ( NLE ) is a video ( NLVE ) or audio editing ( NLAE ) digital audio workstation ( DAW ) system that performs non-destructive editing on source material . The name is in contrast to 20th century methods of linear video editing and film editing .

neg: Jean-Luc Godard Jean-Luc Godard ( -LSB- ʒɑ̃lyk ɡɔdaʁ -RSB- ; born 3 December 1930 ) is a French-Swiss film director , screenwriter and film critic . He is often identified with the 1960s French film movement La Nouvelle Vague , or `` New Wave '' .   Like his New Wave contemporaries , Godard criticized mainstream French cinema 's `` Tradition of Quality '' , which `` emphasized craft over innovation , privileged established directors over new directors , and preferred the great works of the past to experimentation . '' As a result of such argument , he and like-minded critics started to make their own films . Many of Godard 's films challenge the conventions of traditional Hollywood in addition to French cinema . He is often considered the most radical French filmmaker of the 1960s and 1970s ; his approach in film conventions , politics and philosophies made him arguably the most influential director of the French New Wave . Along with showing knowledge of film history through homages and references , several of his films expressed his political views ; he was an avid reader of existential and Marxist philosophy .   Since the New Wave , his politics have been much less radical and his recent films are about representation and human conflict from a humanist , and a Marxist perspective .   In a 2002 Sight & Sound poll , Godard ranked third in the critics ' top-ten directors of all time ( which was put together by assembling the directors of the individual films for which the critics voted ) . He is said to have `` created one of the largest bodies of critical analysis of any filmmaker since the mid-twentieth century . '' He and his work have been central to narrative theory and have `` challenged both commercial narrative cinema norms and film criticism 's vocabulary . '' In 2010 , Godard was awarded an Academy Honorary Award , but did not attend the award ceremony .  Godard 's films have inspired many directors including Martin Scorsese , Quentin Tarantino , Brian De Palma , Steven Soderbergh , D. A. Pennebaker , Robert Altman , Jim Jarmusch , Wong Kar-wai , Wim Wenders , Bernardo Bertolucci , and Pier Paolo Pasolini .
