In orthopedics , weight bearing is the amount of weight a patient puts on the leg on which surgery has been performed. In general, it is described as a percentage of the bodyweight, because each leg of a healthy person carries the full bodyweight when walking, in an alternating fashion. After surgery of the hip, or of the bones of the leg, ankle, or foot, it is of the utmost importance for recovery to get the right amount of weight bearing when moving around with crutches or frames. The grades of weight bearing for each phase of recovery will be determined by the surgeon.

policyd weight is a mail filter for the Postfix software Postfix mail transfer agent MTA written in Perl , by Robert Felber. It allows postfix to evaluate mail envelope information and to score mail against several DNS based Blackhole Lists DNSBL before the mail is queued. The final score will determine whether a mail is rejected or accepted, in which case it is usually then subject to more resource intensive checks by a virus scanner and Spamming spam filter. Features policyd weight works as a policy daemon in Postfix software Postfix . It uses DNSBL , RHSBL , MX record MX and A record A Domain Name System DNS queries of the envelope sender and HELO Simple Mail Transfer Protocol SMTP arguments to evaluate the possibility of either Message forgery forgery or Spamming spam . Rejection happens based on an overall score, so a single blacklist entry may not cause the mail to be rejected. The score is determined by various checks and is not linear. The administrator is able to adjust scores for each check to meet her requirements. policyd weight caches the most frequent queries to minimize bandwidth and CPU usage. The benefit of this approach is that it is able to reject a delivery attempt before the body DATA of the mail has been received unlike most installations of SpamAssassin or amavisd , thus saving network bandwidth.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A weight machine is an exercise machine used for weight training that uses gravity as the primary source of resistance and a combination of simple machine s to convey that resistance to the person using the machine. Each of the simple machines pulley, lever, wheel, incline changes the mechanical advantage of the overall machine relative to the weight. Stack machines Image WeightStack.JPG thumb 175px The weight stack from a Cable machine each plate weighs 6 kg . A stack machine &mdash also called a stack or rack &mdash has a set of massive rectangular plates that are pierced by a vertical bar which has holes drilled in it to accept a pin. Each of the plates has a channel on its underside or a hole through the middle, as shown in the diagram that aligns with one of the holes. When the pin is inserted through the channel into the hole, all of the plates above the pin rest upon it, and are lifted when the bar rises. The plates below do not rise. This allows the same machine to provide several levels of resistance over the same range of motion with an adjustment that requires very little force to accomplish in itself. The means of lifting the bar varies. Some machines have a roller at the top of the bar that sits on a lever. When the lever is raised the bar can go up and the roller moves along the lever, allowing the bar to stay vertical. On some machines the bar is attached to a hinge on the lever, which causes swaying in the bar and the plates as the lever goes up and down. On other machines the bar is attached to a cable or belt, which runs ... holds or wraps around some body part, or will be attached to a lever, adding further simple ... give the actual weight of the plate and those above it.
