Steorbord, lit. "side on which a vessel was steered," from steor- "rudder, steering paddle" + bord "ship's side." Cf. O.N. stjornborði, Low Ger. stürbord, Ger. Steuerbord. Early Germanic peoples' boats were propelled and steered by a paddle on the right side. Fr. tribord (O.Fr. estribord), It. stribordo are Gmc. loan-words.  

<span>port </span>

<span>Meaning "left side of a ship" is attested from 1543, from notion of "the side facing the harbor" (when a ship is docked). It replaced larboard in common usage to avoid confusion with starboard (q.v.); officially so by Admiralty order of 1844 and U.S. Navy Department notice of 1846. Fig. sense "place of refuge" is attested from 1426; phrase any port in a storm first recorded 1749. </span>

In your opinion, what is the most pressing ethical concern related to using the DSM-5 as a diagnostic tool.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

DSM-5 is a diagnostic tool which manually assess the mental health of a person without providing any information for curing the problem or even maintaining it. This manual tool does not even properly diagnose the illness. For every cure, a diagnosis is a must.

The most ethical concern would be that  a person is exposed to this tool in hopes of getting a diagnosis and rather the person ends up with nothing significant that can take him towards the healing procedure.

People believed healing power rested in the shadow of which disciple?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Peter

Explanation:

People have great faith in the miracle-working of Peter's shadow. People even put their efficacy in the shadow of Peter. But there was doubt that people were healed but it was not sure that Peter's shadow healed them.

People want to believe that there is something in the shadow of Peter. They want to faith in him. People believe that there is some power in Peter so they always try to maintain proximity with peter so some power can pass to them.
