Haines (surname)
Haines is a surname. Etymology According to the ''Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland'', the modern names ''Haine'', ''Hayne'', ''Haines'', ''Hains'', ''Hanes'', and '' Haynes'' all originate in four different medieval names, which came to sound the same. # The Middle English name ''Hain''. This is thought to have originated as a pet form of Anglo-Norman names such as ''Reynald'', ''Reyner'' and '' Rainbert''. # The personal name Hagan, which is itself of diverse origins. # The Old English word ''haga'' ('enclosure', Middle English ''hay''), in the oblique case form ''hagan'' (Middle English ''hayne''), whose use could have arisen from a locative epithet such as ''æt hagan'' ('at the enclosure'). # Perhaps the Middle English word ''heyne'' (and its variants, such as ''haine'', ''hayn''), meaning 'mean wretch, niggard'. The forms ending in ''-s'' show the addition of the genitive case ending, implying that the name-bearer was the child of a father called ' ...

Recovery Position
In first aid, the recovery position (also called semi-prone) is one of a series of variations on a lateral recumbent or three-quarters prone position of the body, often used for unconscious but breathing casualties. An unconscious person, a person who is assessed on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at eight or below, in a supine position (on the back) may not be able to maintain an open airway as a conscious person would. This can lead to an obstruction of the airway, restricting the flow of air and preventing gaseous exchange, which then causes hypoxia, which is life-threatening. Thousands of fatalities occur every year in casualties where the cause of unconsciousness was not fatal, but where airway obstruction caused the patient to suffocate. This is especially true for unconscious pregnant women; once turned on to their left side, pressure is relieved on the inferior vena cava, and venous return is not restricted. The cause of unconsciousness can be any reason from trauma to i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haines Highway
The Haines Highway or Haines Cut-Off (and still often called the Haines Road) is a highway that connects Haines, Alaska, in the United States, with Haines Junction, Yukon, Canada, passing through the province of British Columbia.

Haines Index
Haines Index (also known as Lower Atmosphere Severity Index) is a weather index developed by meteorologist Donald Haines in 1988 that measures the potential for dry, unstable air to contribute to the development of large or erratic wildland fires. The index is derived from the stability (temperature difference between different levels of the atmosphere) and moisture content (dew point depression) of the lower atmosphere. These data may be acquired with a radiosonde or simulated by a numerical weather prediction model. The index is calculated over three ranges of atmospheric pressure: low elevation (950-850 millibars (mb)), mid elevation (850-700 mb), and high elevation (700-500 mb). A Haines Index of 6 means a high potential for an existing fire to become large or exhibit erratic fire behavior, 5 means medium potential, 4 means low potential, and anything less than 4 means very low potential.

Fort William H
A fortification is a military construction or building designed for the defense of territories in warfare, and is also used to establish rule in a region during peacetime. The term is derived from Latin ''fortis'' ("strong") and ''facere'' ("to make"). From very early history to modern times, defensive walls have often been necessary for cities to survive in an ever-changing world of invasion and conquest. Some settlements in the Indus Valley civilization were the first small cities to be fortified. In ancient Greece, large stone walls had been built in Mycenaean Greece, such as the ancient site of Mycenae (famous for the huge stone blocks of its 'cyclopean' walls). A Greek '' phrourion'' was a fortified collection of buildings used as a military garrison, and is the equivalent of the Roman castellum or English fortress. These constructions mainly served the purpose of a watch tower, to guard certain roads, passes, and borders. Though smaller than a real fortress, they act ...
