Laser lipolysis is a non-invasive form of body sculpting. It removes small fat deposits.... Laser lipolysis can be done in the doctor's office. It takes about half an hour, and you can return to normal activity right away. There is no anesthesia involved. To do the laser "lipo, "your doctor attaches paddle-like applicators to the area to be treated. The paddles emit heat that penetrates your skin and heats up the fat cells underneath. The heat damages the membranes of the fat cells, so they start to die off. Your body then absorbs the dead cells. 2, record 1, English, - laser%20lipolysis

Weather observations at Gander are taken from two locations. The primary observation site is located on the roof of the terminal building; a second observation site is located at ground level about 200 feet from the terminal building. When freezing precipitation is present or suspected, weather observers use an ice accretion indicator composed of a small piece of aluminum alloy similar to that found in aircraft structure. It is placed outside at the observation site and inspected for the presence of freezing precipitation at each observation. Mandatory weather observations are taken every 30 minutes, at the hour and half hour. When freezing precipitation is present, the indicator is removed and a new one installed at each mandatory observation. Prior to installation, the indicator is pre-cooled to ambient temperature. Thus, when observed at the next observation following installation, the indicator shows the type and quantity of freezing precipitation which occurred in the previous 30 minutes. 2, record 4, English, - ice%20accretion%20indicator

If a victim has protected or can clear airways and can breath(that is the weight of snow is not compressing the lungs or thorax) they can usually breath.

Airtight construction. Any house has a large number of potential air leakage points... These leakage points let cold outside air in, and warm inside air out. As a result, in a conventional house, it is not uncommon for the heated indoor air to be completely changed every half hour. A major potential problem associated with this air change [is] condensation in the building's structure... There is in addition, a second problem : such air change typically accounts for 25-30 per cent of the total house heat loss...

Une construction étanche à l'air a-t-elle besoin de ventilation? Dans les maisons construites de façon traditionnelle, le renouvellement de l'air intérieur est amplement assuré par les fuites et les infiltrations d'air fortuites à travers l'enveloppe du bâtiment. Dans une maison étanche à l'air, l'air frais nécessaire au maintien d'une atmosphère intérieure agréable est fourni par une ventilation mécanique contrôlée. 1, record 13, French, - construction%20%C3%A9tanche%20%C3%A0%20l%27air
