1) A randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of an oral contraceptive containing estradiol valerate and dienogest in treating heavy menstrual bleeding.
2) 180 women with heavy menstrual bleeding were randomized to receive either the oral contraceptive or placebo for 196 days.
3) The oral contraceptive was highly effective, with 43.8% of women experiencing a complete response compared to 4.2% for placebo. It significantly reduced menstrual blood loss and improved iron levels.
The document promotes a VOIP home phone service that costs $67 per month, much less than bundled services charging $30-45 per month. The VOIP service requires broadband internet, uses any phone to make calls, and provides a free VOIP adapter. Key benefits include affordable pricing, easy setup, unlimited calls to US and Canada, and managing contacts online. The service costs $149 plus tax for 2 years and does not require credit checks, equipment purchases, or call limits like most other VOIP providers.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of 11 players on a field at the center of which is a 22-yard long pitch. Each team takes turns batting and bowling, with the objective being for the batting team to score as many runs as possible before they are all out, while the fielding team seeks to limit the runs scored and get all batters out. The game proceeds until the end when a team wins by scoring more runs or by dismissing the other team when batting.
The document discusses Jessica Lochel's self-assessment of her technological literacy based on David Richard Moore's three levels of technological literacy: 1) Identifying relevant technologies, 2) Understanding how to use technologies, and 3) Understanding the inner workings of technologies. Jessica reflects that she has developed level one literacy by using technologies like Twitter, Google Docs, and Tumblr for class assignments. She has also developed level two literacy by learning to use the basic functions of these technologies but does not feel she has reached level three literacy which requires understanding their structures. Overall, she feels more technologically literate after learning new technologies in her class but still has more to learn.

The document provides instructions for applying silicone-based makeup to create fake lacerations and wounds using two-part platinum silicone pastes that are mixed together and applied to the skin before curing within 4-5 minutes. Details include mixing the two components thoroughly, applying the mix to clean skin by creating a line for the laceration, defining edges by lifting with a tool, dulling the shine with a sponge before it sets, and finishing by adding bruise tones and blood-colored skin illustrator.
This document discusses Google's PageRank algorithm, which ranks the importance of webpages based on the webpage's position in the link structure of the web. It provides an overview of how PageRank works by modeling the web as a directed graph and calculating each page's importance score based on the importance scores of the pages that link to it. This calculation results in a system of linear equations that can be represented by a matrix equation Ax=x, where the eigenvector x gives the importance scores of each page.

Commercial data centers consume around 2% of global CO2 emissions due to increasing data volumes and computing needs. Up to 25kW of power is used per rack in data centers today for IT equipment and physical infrastructure like cooling. Green data center solutions like CoolFlex and CoolTherm use closed rack architectures and higher temperature differentials to improve cooling efficiency by up to 50%, reducing power consumption and CO2 emissions by focusing cooling directly on server intake air.
