Mesothelioma: Questions and Answers
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles.

What is the mesothelium?
The mesothelium is a membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. It is composed of two layers of cells: One layer immediately surrounds the organ; the other forms a sac around it. The mesothelium produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs (such as the beating heart and the expanding and contracting lungs) to glide easily against adjacent structures.

Roaming

Roaming is a general term in wireless telecommunications that refers to the extending of connectivity service in a location that is different from the home location where the service was registered. Roaming occurs when a subscriber of one wireless service provider uses the facilities of another wireless service provider. This second provider has no direct pre-existing financial or service agreement with this subscriber to send or receive information. A device will usually indicate when it is roaming.

The quintessential example of “roaming” is the case of cellular phones when a phone is in a location where its wireless service provider does not provide coverage (for example, another country). In some cases, roaming occurs in a phone’s designated home area when it transmits via a different provider’s tower (sometimes at a higher price). This is likely to occur when the service provider’s signal is too weak or if the volume of callers is too high. In order for a mobile device to use a different carrier’s service, the phone’s service provider must have a roaming agreement with that carrier.

In 802.11 roaming can also mean subscriber mobility or handover within the same network.

Bread

Bread is a staple food which is prepared by baking, steaming, or frying dough. Bread consists minimally of flour and water; salt is present in most cases; and usually a leavening agent such as yeast is used. Breads may also contain some amounts of sugar, spices, fruit (such as raisins, pumpkin or bananas), vegetables (like onion or zucchini) nuts and seeds (such as caraway, sesame or poppy seeds), which are often used for decorative and flavoring purposes. There are a wide variety of breads and preferred varieties often vary from region to region.Fresh bread is prized for its taste and texture, and retaining its freshness is important to keep it appetizing. Bread that has stiffened or dried past its prime is said to be stale. Today’s modern bread is often wrapped in paper or plastic film, or stored in airtight containers such as a breadbox to keep it fresh longer. Bread that is kept in warm moist environments is prone to the growth of mold. It actually becomes stale more quickly in the low temperature of a refrigerator, although by keeping it cool, mold is less likely to grow.
