THERE ARE NO SPECIAL steps to take before you have one, such as no food or drink, as required for other diagnostic tests. For an echocariogram (taking "pictures" of your heart) a person takes off their clothes from the waist up; (undershirt, shirt, sweater, bra, etc...) Then you lie flat on a gurney or hospital bed, in a room where there is a computer and video screen. The technician has a "wand", similar to what is used on a pregnant woman's stomach to get "pictures" of the baby (an ultrasound). Then the technician puts a squirt of a jelly type stuff on the end of the wand, and puts it against the skin, over the heart. A "picture" or "movie" of your heart, as it is beating, appears on the video screen. As your heart pumps, the technician will periodically push a button that takes a "still picture" of your heart. The wand is moved around against the skin, and multiple pictures are taken. When done, the clear jelly is wiped off your skin and you get dressed. The technician then gives the "pictures" to your cardiologist (heart doctor) who then looks at them to see if there is anything abnormal. The test is painless and takes about 20-30 minutes.

I wish to view the scuffle of Parliament members in a 3D TV please suggest me the one that could render the crystal-clear viewing of fight among the leaders.?

It seems like a strange request to be able to watch politicians in 3D. You are probably out of luck because 3D content tends not to include coverage of parliament. There are some televisions that can simulate 3D from 3D content but the quality of the simulation is limited, to say the least. The best advice is to remain patient and when government proceedings are captured in 3D, see if you can persuade the politicians to have another fight.

Why male 3D artist more than female 3D artist?

According to the research on the Internet, the world ranked 3d artist are mostly male 3d artist. First of all, 3D is heavy workload field compare to the other design fields. Unlike the other design fields, 3D artist is divided into different profession which is profession is 3D modelling, profession in 3D texturing, Profession is 3D animation, Profession in 3D rigging, Profession in 3D lighting, so on and so forth. Each of the profession above require a lot of patience and energy to sit in front of the computer for few hours, or even few sleepless days and nights just to complete certain area of the 3d work.I do not denied that there are no female 3D artist, but mostly females do not like to work over night since females will be more concern on their health than males. Besides that, Females do note have as much patience as compare to male. According to a reach on patient level between genders, male seems to have more patient than female.Patrik Gränsmark: " Yes, and the findings are really exiting! When analyzing gender differences among expert chess players, I found that male players play significantly shorter games than their female peers, about 1 to 2 moves shorter. Two female players play about 2 to 3 moves longer games than two male players with similar Elo rating. Women, in turn, perform worse at the 40th move time control compared to men. "As a conclusion, male 3D artist are more than female artist is because of their inwardness. Men can handle heavy workload jobs and work but not women; Men havethe patient to work from day to night and even scarify their rest time focusing on their work but most women have not.
