241: Solving the World Energy Crisis
What will happen when we use up all the fossil fuels in the world? We might not run out tomorrow or even within the next ten years, but eventually it will happen. We need to stop depleting our natural resources and polluting the planet. In other words, we need to solve the world's energy crisis now, instead of just talking about the problem.

242: Solar Panel Tracking Systems
Tracking systems increase the radiation received by a solar power system. This additional radiation turns into increased generation. Anybody who wants to maximize output from their solar panels should consider a tracking system.

243: Blood and General Information
Blood represents largest percentage of the specimens assayed in the clinical laboratory. Blood samples are collected by phlebotomists who have specific training, education and specific skills to draw blood.

244: What We Can Do to Solve the Global Energy Crisis
What will we do when we run out of fossil fuel? It might not happen tomorrow or the next year, or even in the next decade, but it certainly is looming on the horizon. We can't just talk about doing something about the energy crisis - we need to actually find ways that will let us stop polluting the Earth and depleting our natural resources. And we need to do something about it right now, not sometime in the future.

245: Use of Standard Precautions in Venipuncture
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends several disease-specific precautionary policies for patients known to be or suspected of being infected with certain pathogens. With strict following of standard precautions, all sources of specimens (patients) are considered to be potentially pathogenic or infectious.

246: Phlebotomy Technicians and Pre-analytical Phase
Laboratories, clinics and physicians offices employ healthcare professionals, medical technologists, or certified medical laboratory technicians, to collect blood from patients. Blood collection from patients is done by allied health professionals called phlebotomists. Phlebotomists are supervised by senior technicians, nurses, or laboratory managers for collecting blood samples from patients for diagnostic testing in referral labs.

247: Medico and Legal Issues
Informed consent
Informed consent means that patient is aware of, understands, and agrees to the nature of the testing to be done and what will be done with the results reported. Generally when a patient enters a clinic or hospital facility, there is an implied consent to many routine procedures that will be performed during his/her visit.

248: The Small WInd Turbine Revolution
Being "green" is becoming increasingly important all around the world. The public is more conscious about their behaviour. We can see how people look for ways to avoid pollution using clean energy, how they learn about recycling and they drive cars with lower co2 emission. As part of this movement it has, in recent years, become more fashionable to build small wind turbines onto the roof tops of residential properties, even in urban areas. The British politician David Cameron and the US talk show host Jay Leno both added one to their roof tops.

249: Venipuncture using Fingerstick and Heelstick Techniques
For small quantities of blood required for hematological procedures and for microchemical techniques requiring serum or plasma, a capillary puncture or skin puncture is performed on capillary bed by puncture of skin.

250: Venipuncture: Order Of Draw
To prevent cross contamination, a specific order of draw of the collection tubes with various additives is maintained. The order of draw for vacutainer tubes depends on the specific health care facility. Full and part-time phlebotomists, medical assistants, or other health care providers and personnel with blood collection responsibilities use the phlebotomy standards set by The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).
