A Figure 8 chain isn't actually any one particular thing, but can be found in several different

configurations.

However it's made or put together, it's always quite decorative.

Hi there, Sandy here.

Welcome to another Friday Findings video at KeepsakeCrafts.net.

So I was kind of fascinated when I started looking at Figure 8 chain and seeing all the

different kinds of links that you can put together what would be called Figure 8 chain.

This one, for example, is probably what's probably classically considered Figure 8 chain.

There's a single link that was once an oval link, but it was twisted so now it's a Figure

8 and it's alternating with other links often of a different size.

The Figure 8s are usually smaller and the other links are larger.

This one happens to have gears in between, which is very cool, but this is I guess maybe

a classic Figure 8, but there are other chains that can be called Figure 8 chain.

This is a chain that I made.

This was a labor of love.

I don't know that I would recommend it.

I was doing it for a project and it was from the book, "Mastering the Art of Metal Jewelry"

and this was an exercise.

It took forever!

But what you can see here is that these are Figure 8 links, very different from the twisted

links here.

This you start out with an 's' shape and then bring the ends around and around until you

have a Figure 8 and this chain is all the same links, but this would be a Figure 8 chain

as well.

Now this one's rather different.

This one has flattened oval links alternating with these pinched links that are also in

an 8 shape.

They're not twisted, but they're pinched and the split is right here.

On one side it's pinched and on the other side it's split, but this would also be considered

Figure 8 chain.

And the same with this chain.

It has of course an entirely different look because it's connecting together larger and

smaller round rings instead of all links of the same size and yet still it's a Figure

8 chain.

They're all different versions and depending on the other links in the chain and the patterns,

they could be called other things, but these little connectors are still considered Figure

8s.

As you can see all of these chains from ArtBeads.com are pretty much your traditional Figure 8

chain.

One twisted Figure 8 link connecting one untwisted oval link alternating in that pattern.

These chains for Beadaholique have a bit more variety.

There are your traditional ones and then there's also ones connecting long oval links.

Here's a whole variety of different ways of making Figure 8 chain from Ebay.

You may have heard of 'infinity links' and sometimes Figure 8 chain is called infinity

chain, like the one in the upper right from Tiffany's.

The beautiful Figure 8 link is the focal and then the rest of the chain is something else.

Same with the bracelet to the left of it and even the chain to the left of that has more

forged beaten Figure 8 links held together by cable chain it appears to be.

In the lower left is an interesting chain consisting of links that appear to be made

of half round wire long ovals that have been twisted into 8s and connected with short oval

links.

The one to the right of that one has a single curve style link connecting three Figure 8

links for a very decorative twisted and more masculine look I might say.

And the one on the lower right, interestingly a heavy forged Figure 8 links connected together

with the pinched Figure 8 links that I showed you earlier.

And finally, here's even more variety in the Fire Mountain Gems catalog.

I love the one on the upper left, which appears to be made of square wire that was then twisted

into a Figure 8.

A very decorative, bold look.

All the other ones on the top are connected with these forged hammered links, which gives

it a more industrial feel.

So although Figure 8 chain can look very dainty and delicate, changing out the types of links

that you use can really change the look.

So I hope you find my tutorials helpful and inspiring and beneficial.

What is a PA? - Duration: 2:06.

(upbeat instrumental music)

- Hello, I am Mike Roscoe, Program Director and Chair

of the University of Evansville Physician Assistant Program.

Physician assistants, or PAs, are healthcare professionals

who work as part of the physician-led team.

They provide about 85% of the direct patient care

services provided by physicians and work

in a wide range of healthcare settings in diverse

medical and surgical specialties.

The responsibilities of PAs include

obtaining medical histories, conducting physical exams,

diagnosing and treating illnesses,

performing medical procedures,

counseling patients on preventive healthcare,

assisting in surgery, writing prescriptions,

and even making rounds in nursing homes and hospitals.

They order and interpret tests and even set broken bones,

and many other medical services.

PAs are nationally certified and state licensed

to practice medicine.

A PA sees approximately 16 patients per day,

or about 60 per week.

The annual median compensation for a PA is about $97,000.

PAs expand the physician's role by helping them manage

their time and work with patients who have

more complex medical conditions.

The primary employers for a PA

are primarily physicians, hospitals, government,

and federally qualified health centers.

The top specialties for a physician assistant

are primary care, surgical sub specialties,

emergency medicine, and internal medicine sub specialties.

PAs can change their specialty without having to take

an additional board certification exam.

Physician assistants are in high demand

with expected growth of 30 to 39%

between 2014 and 2024.

I personally invite you to come visit our campus.

We will show you how the University of Evansville

will prepare you for an exciting and rewarding career

as a physician assistant.

Securing Surface Transportation - Our Task is Clear - Duration: 1:42.

We are gonna start seeing more attacks or attempted attacks on

mass transit rail systems. It's too attractive a target

for terrorist, because it's an opportunity to inflict a lot of casualties

in spaces where people tend to gather in dense crowds

and its also an opportunity to inflict damage on critical infrastructure.

And if you look at the security posture that we have in place now, it's not sufficient.

Because we are not performing the sort of detailed screening that takes place

in the aviation environments. Mass transit security is a global problem.

We are no less vulnerable here than they are overseas.

This highlights the importance of developing

tools that can assist the security staff on site

to ensure that our systems stay as secure as possible.

Our task is clear, we need a way to safely

detect explosive threats on people and in their bags and we have to do this without physically searching them

or impacting their flow through the transit system.

This is why the Department of Homeland

Security, Science and Technology Directorate has a program to mitigate the explosive threat

to surface transportation. Here at S&T were developing

a number of tools, among them a video algorithm capable of automatically detecting bags left

behind and tagging individuals who left those bags.

We're also developing a suite of video forensic tools that allow video surveillance systems to work more effectively

and efficiently. We are also investing in stand-off

threat detection systems using complimentary parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

These systems will serve as a key component of the layered screening concept.

What is Chronic Pain and Acute Pain? And How Do You Manage Them? - Duration: 2:24.

(whimsical music)

- With acute pain it is usually a short lived situation.

It has an abrupt onset related to some specific incident,

either an injury or a surgery,

or something like that that has resulted

in some tissue damage.

And it is the body's warning signals about that.

With time, that is typically improving.

So over the course of several weeks,

the patient, just through the natural course of healing,

is going to improve and resolve that pain.

Chronic pain is a situation where the pain is ongoing

and sometimes manifests continuously

even when there is not ongoing tissue damage.

Usually when the question comes up

about appropriate medication management for pain,

most people will think of either painkillers,

like ibuprofen and other drugs in that category,

that we call nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,

or they think of narcotic pain medicines,

like the opioid analgesic, the oxycodone, the oxytocin,

and those types of medications.

Obviously those have been in the news a lot

because of all the abuse,

drug overdose deaths, and serious concerns like that.

In addition to those concerns,

we've found that treating chronic pain

is different from treating acute pain.

And chronic pain is different from acute pain.

And in most cases as a long term strategy,

using the narcotic type pain medicines

is not a good long term strategy

and can in fact lead to more problems.

And paradoxically, can even increase pain.

We've found that it's much better to use, in most cases,

alternative medications and those can be

medications that work through

the nerve transmitter substances.

So we will try to utilize those.

A lot of times patients are referred to me

specifically because they're concerned

that they don't want to risk having

too long of an exposure to narcotic type pain medicines.

They want to avoid those,

out of concern for all those risks.

How to attack with LONG PIPS effectively, what is the proper tactics of play with pimples - Duration: 4:01.

Hello! My name is Aleksej Sypachevskij. And this is channel TT-Maximum.

Now I want to tell you what correct attack with long pips is, and how to play it effectively.

And how to play for it not to be ineffective.

Let's firstly point the purpose of long pips.

This rubber is not for attacks.

So, if you want attack only, overturn, and so on, the rubber is wrong and you'd better take short pips or pips-in.

Not long pips.

Attack with long pips is not about it.

Long pips is a slow rubber, almost without reaction to incoming spinn, with high control. What does it mean?

It means that attack with long pips shouldn't be massive, with firings, series.

Attack with long pips is a sometimes chosen comfortable ball, you may hit in empty corner,

e.g. an opponent showed that he would run in left corner for killing right attack,

played in center and you hit him in right corner when he ran to the left; you hit with long pips and he missed the ball.

It wasn't strong serve, but he got open corner and ran in other, so it's a great chance for you to hit.

It's an example how to use long pips in attack.

Either to hit in empty corner, when opponent was slow on the uptake and got open it,

or, if you are more confident in attack with long pips, you may start attacking and finish it with pips-in to the right.

And don't play massive and strong with long pips.

These attacks are ineffective, and they lead to losing on points than scoring them, if you start just shooting with them.

It's in general.

Of course, there are some rare individuals, who attack with long pips and do it effectively.

Usually, they know what to do and don't need this information.

But majority of long pips users, have to know that long pips are used for concrete, accurate and tactic attack at chosen ball.

There may be only few such attacks, but they are to be effective.

An opponent got open two times in set, you hit in empty place and it's great result.

But if you decided to hit by pips 7 times and missed 5 times, and one from two left you scored returned to you,

Just calculate such attack effectiveness and whether you really should use it.

It's all about attack with long pips and how to play it tactically.

If you need long pips or any equipment for table tennis, and help with choosing it,

turn to shop TT-Maximum, we will gladly help you.
