Answer to Question 1

This is true, and the smallest particulates are the most pernicious to a person's
health.

Answer to Question 2

Any savings is important. Especially important is the distinction between long
distance and short-distance transport of electricity. Short-distance transmission is
considerable more expensive and inefficient than the 99 cited above (which applies to
long-distance transport). If local transmission could be done with no losses, considerable
energy and money could be saved.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
