1. The document provides instructions and groupings for a game show involving bidding on items and answering trivia questions for points. It lists 4 groups and their members and provides reminders about the rules of the game.
2. The mechanics section explains that different items will be displayed and participants will have 10 seconds to bid, with the highest bidder getting 10 points. Then a question will be asked to the highest bidder first.
3. The points system awards points for correct bids, questions, and bonuses for group answers, with varying point values for bids and questions.
This document discusses Time Machine, a backup tool for Macs. It allows users to back up their entire Mac, including files, applications, and system files, to an internal or external hard drive. Backups can also be stored on another Mac on the same network. Time Machine creates regular backups and allows users to restore old versions of files. While it provides automatic backups, some recommend also using a third-party cloning tool to allow creating bootable backups as a secondary backup strategy. The document analyzes different cloning tools and recommends Stellar Drive Clone as it allows creating bootable clones with advanced features.
Cloning a Mac hard drive creates a bootable backup that allows you to replace the primary drive or troubleshoot operating system issues. It copies all files, applications, and user data to the new drive, maintaining the same functionality. Cloning provides an alternative booting option, allows testing applications and identifying issues on the clone without affecting the main system, and ensures work can continue if the primary drive fails by booting from the clone. Stellar Drive Clone software makes it possible to clone to an external solid state drive for faster performance than a standard external hard drive.
This document provides instructions for creating a bootable backup copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion using Stellar Drive Clone software. The process involves formatting a USB hard drive, selecting the internal drive to clone as the source in the Stellar software, choosing the external drive as the destination, and allowing the cloning process to complete. Once finished, the external drive can be booted from by selecting it as the startup disk in system preferences.
Temporary files in the downloads folder from the last month can be safely deleted to free up storage space. This includes PDFs, images, and video files no longer needed. Backup important documents and files before performing the cleanup.
Steve Jobs was an American entrepreneur who co-founded Apple Inc. and served as its chairman and CEO. He was born in 1955 in San Francisco and died in 2011 in Palo Alto. Jobs helped create one of the first commercially successful personal computers, the Apple II series, and introduced the Macintosh which featured a graphical user interface that revolutionized personal computing.

1. Tubal anastomosis or IVF-ET must be considered based on factors like age, tubal damage extent, cost, and patient preference.
2. IVF-ET has a higher per-cycle success rate while tubal anastomosis has a higher cumulative success rate and may be more cost-effective.
3. Both have risks and neither is clearly superior, so options should be discussed individually to help couples feel they explored all options.
Diagnosis and classification of tubal factor infertilitySanjay Makwana
This document discusses tubal factor infertility (TFI), including causes such as damage from injury or pelvic inflammatory disease. It evaluates various diagnostic tests for TFI like hysterosalpingography (HSG), laparoscopy, and chlamydial antibody testing. Treatment options discussed include expectant management, antibiotics, tubal surgery like cannulation or anastomosis, and IVF. The evidence for different approaches is limited, with no randomized controlled trials directly comparing treatments. The conclusion is that IVF is generally the best treatment for older patients or more severe TFI, while surgery may be considered for milder cases or proximal tubal obstruction.

The document discusses several external factors that can influence students' listening comprehension, including the type of language input and task, as well as the context in which listening occurs. It provides examples of how co-text, or the surrounding linguistic context, can affect interpretation of meaning. Physical context is also discussed as another factor, with examples of how understanding a word depends on the environment in which it is used. Overall, the document examines how external elements like context shape comprehension during listening activities.
DHEA supplementation can improve ovarian reserve and fertility outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve. It acts early in follicle development to stimulate growth and maturation. Studies show DHEA increases levels of AMH, the number of eggs and embryos retrieved in IVF, and pregnancy rates while decreasing cancellation rates. The optimal dosage is 25mg three times daily until pregnancy is achieved. DHEA is not recommended for PCOS patients unless they have low testosterone levels and are poor responders.
The document provides information about several cities that make up Metro Manila (National Capital Region) in the Philippines. It discusses the history, geography, demographics, culture, and religion of cities like Caloocan City, Las Piñas City, Manila (the capital), and Makati City. The region is a center for politics, economy, education and culture in the Philippines and home to over 12 million people across its cities.

Questions
1. The Gulf Sea Turtle Conservation Group (GSTCG), a 501(c) (3) non–profit group of volunteers working to collect data on nesting sea turtles and to promote sea turtle conservation, is considering creating a video to educate people about sea turtle conservation. The cost of duplicating the video on a DVD and mailing the DVD is $6.58. In a GSTCG member meeting, the video plan was discussed. Table 1. shows the expected demand for the DVD at different suggested donation levels, and they can act as a single-price monopolist if they choose to. The receipts will be used to fund GSTCG supplies for their data collection and conservation work. At the end of each sea turtle nesting season, any excess funds are donated by the GSTCG to a local non-profit sea turtle research and rehabilitation facility.

b. Compared to last year, has the C$ appreciated or depreciated against the pound, and by how
much? (Please provide your reasoning and computations). Is this what you would expect based
on your answer to part a? Explain your reasoning.
c. Identify any two other factors from the tables that, in general, predict exchange rate appreciation
or depreciation, and determine if the appreciation or depreciation of the C$ is consistent with
what you might predict
