most places on the Earth's surface, the compass doesn’t point exactly toward geographic north. The deviation of the compass from true north is an angle called 'declination'. It is a quantity that has been a nuisance to navigators for centuries, especially since it varies with both geographic location and time. It might surprise you to know that at very high latitudes the compass can even point south! Declination is simply a manifestation of the complexity of the geomagnetic field. See similar questions...

Co-location is when you either purchase a server or install your own equipment in the host's data center. The datacenter will manage the server environment, security and internet connection, but leave the maintainence of the server up to you. When co-locating, you should ensure that the server has the appropriate software licenses and means of remote administration; often the most a host will do for you (without additional cost) is to reboot the server.

All the cells of the body have a weak, natural electric current flowing through them. The currents are caused by electrically charged particles in the cells called ions. Ions affect the metabolism, or the work of the cell. PMFT is a method of applying a magnetic field to the cell which sends a weak electrical signal, influencing the interaction of the ions, and the flow of nutrients in the cell. Enhanced circulation and nutrient exchange can speed the healing process and reduce down time. See similar questions...

If an employee declines the hepatitis B vaccination, the employer must ensure that the employee signs a hepatitis B vaccine declination. Any alternative declination form designed by the employer must use wording that is identical to that found in Appendix A of 5193. A photocopy of the Appendix may be used as a declination form, or the words can be typed or written onto a separate document. 5193(f)(2)(E) See similar questions...

Analogous to the Earth's longitude and latitude, the celestial sphere is divided by a grid of lines that are used to define the positions of every object in the sky. Just as the location of, say, New York City, is defined on Earth by its longitude and latitude, so the position of the Orion Nebula in the sky is defined by its Right Ascension and Declination. Right Ascension is the celestial analog to the Earth's longitude, and Declination is the celestial analog to the Earth's latitude. See similar questions...

No, It will only give readings relative to magnetic north. See this FAQ answer for a reason why this may be the right thing to do anyway. See similar questions...

Since each international purchase is subject to the many varied customs, regulations, and fees specific to that purchase, it is difficult for Minimus to address them and leaves that responsibilty for adherence and payment to the purchaser.

Over 2,000 diaries, letters, and memoirs are held in archives, college and university libraries, historical societies, and public libraries throughout the U.S. Many are still in the treasured possession of pioneer descendants. Historian Merrill Mattes estimated that one out of every 250 travelers kept some sort of written record of their journey. However, through the years, many of these were lost or destroyed.

Yes. Offenders with crimes prior to November 1, 1989, are released from prison to "parole." Offenders with crimes committed on or after November 1, 1989, are released to a period of "post-prison supervision" following a prison term under the sentencing guidelines laws. There are approximately 10,500 offenders on parole and post-prison supervision today. See similar questions...

St. Jude Medical pacemakers have a magnetic coil inside. If you have an implanted pacemaker, do not use a magnetic mattress pad or magnetic necklace. If your pacemaker and a magnetic item are near each other, the magnetic field may activate the reed switch\telemetry coil inside the pacemaker. Items such as magnet insoles, belts, knee braces, and join wraps (below the waist) do not affect the pacemaker. See similar questions...

Magnetic fields are historically described in terms of their effect on electric charges. A moving electric charge, such as an electron, will accelerate in the presence of a magnetic field, causing it to change velocity and its direction of travel. This is, for example, the principle used in televisions, computer monitors, and other devices with CRTs (cathode-ray tubes). In a CRT, electrons are emitted from a hot filament.
